The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 5 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of United Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") at March 31, 2007, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. With the exception of the required changes in accounting principles discussed in Note A-9, the Company has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q. 1. Principles of Condensed Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Bancorp, Inc. ("United" or "the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Citizens Savings Bank of Martins Ferry, Ohio ("Citizens") and The Community Bank, Lancaster, Ohio ("Community"), (collectively hereinafter "the Banks"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. Nature of Operations The Company's revenues, operating income, and assets are almost exclusively derived from banking. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Customers are mainly located in Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Fairfield, Harrison, Hocking, and Tuscarawas Counties and the surrounding localities in northeastern, eastern and southeastern Ohio, and include a wide range of individuals, business and other organizations. Citizens conducts its business through its main office in Martins Ferry, Ohio and nine branches in Bridgeport, Colerain, Dellroy, Dover, Jewett, New Philadelphia, St. Clairsville, Sherrodsville, and Strasburg Ohio. Community conducts its business through its main office in Lancaster, Ohio and six offices in Amesville, Glouster, Lancaster, and Nelsonville, Ohio. The Company's primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Company can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of management's control. 6 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3. Use of Estimates To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change. 4. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required based on past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." SFAS 114 requires that impaired loans be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as an alternative, at the loan's observable market price or fair value of the collateral. A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Company considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer installment loans to be homogenous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Company's investment in nonresidential and multi-family residential real estate loans, and its evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are generally collateral dependent and, as a result, are carried as a practical expedient at the fair value of the collateral. Collateral dependent loans which are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 114 at that time. The Company's impaired loan information is as follows as of and for the three months ended March 31:
2007 2006 ------ ----- (In thousands) Impaired loans with related allowance for unconfirmed losses $ 505 $255 Impaired loans without allowance for unconfirmed losses 2,491 625 ------ ---- Total impaired loans $2,996 $880 ====== ====

Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, less shares in the ESOP which are unallocated and not committed to be released. At March 31, 2007, the ESOP held 324,769 unallocated shares which were not included in weighted-average common shares outstanding. At March 31, 2006, the ESOP held 339,660 unallocated shares which were not included in weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under the Company's stock option plans. The computation is as follows:
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ----------------------- 2007 2006 ---------- ---------- BASIC Net earnings (in thousands) $ 718 $ 702 ========== ========== Weighted average common shares outstanding 4,611,847 4,593,610 ========== ========== Basic earnings per common share $ 0.16 $ 0.15 ========== ========== DILUTED Net earnings (in thousands) $ 718 $ 702 ========== ========== Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per common share 4,611,847 4,593,610 Add: Dilutive effects of assumed exercise of stock options 1,157 1,696 ---------- ---------- Average shares and dilutive potential common shares 4,613,004 4,595,306 ========== ========== Diluted earnings per common share $ 0.16 $ 0.15 ========== ==========
Outstanding options to purchase 33,657 and 22,042 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of common share equivalents for both the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of common shares. 7. Stock Options The Company maintains a nonqualified stock option plan for directors and officers. The exercise price for options granted under this plan is no less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant adjusted for stock splits in the form of a dividend. In December, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which revised SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and superseded Accounting Principles Boars ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." SFAS No. 123(R) requires that cost related to the fair value of all equity-based awards to employee, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements. 9 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 7. Stock Options (continued) The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method, as permitted, and therefore did not restate its financial statements for prior periods. Under this method, the Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to new equity awards and to equity based awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. In addition, the Company has recognized compensation costs for the portion of equity-based awards for which the requisite service period has not been rendered ("unvested equity-based awards") that were outstanding January 1, 2006. The compensation cost recorded for unvested equity-based awards is based on their grant-date fair value. For the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $5,000 in compensation costs ($3,000 after-tax) for equity based awards that vested in each period. The Company has $125,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested equity-based awards granted under it stock incentive plan as of March 31, 2007, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 8 years. No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company's stock. There are no remaining options available for grant under the Company's plan as of March 31, 2007. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is presented below:

8. Income Taxes The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes," on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the stature of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company was not required to record any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2003. The Company will recognize, if applicable, interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140," to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. Specifically, SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," to allow a qualifying special purpose entity to hold a derivative instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. 11 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or January 1, 2007 as to the Corporation, with earlier application allowed. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 155 without material effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of SFAS No. 140," to simplify the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Specifically, SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 to require an entity to take the following steps: - Separately recognize financial assets as servicing assets or servicing liabilities, each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain kinds of servicing contracts; - Initially measure all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, if practicable, and; - Separately present servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosure for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Additionally, SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 also permits a servicer that uses derivative financial instruments to offset risks on servicing to use fair value measurement when reporting both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability. SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or January 1, 2007 as to the Company, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 utilizing the amortization method without effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. This Statement clarifies that market participant assumptions should include assumptions about risk as well as the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. Additionally, this Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that provides the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or January 1, 2008 as to the Company, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 12 UNITED BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) In September 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force's (EITF) Issue 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements," which requires companies to recognize a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee extending to postretirement periods. The liability should be recognized based on the substantive agreement with the employee. This Issue is effective beginning January 1, 2008. The Issue can be applied as either a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of Issue 06-4 will have on the financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion reached by the EITF on EITF Issue 06-5, "Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance - Determining the Amount that Could be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4." The guidance in EITF Issue 06-5 requires policyholders to consider other amounts included in the contractual terms of an insurance policy, in addition to cash surrender value, for purposes of determining the amount that could be realized under the terms of the insurance contract. If it is probable that contractual terms would limit the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract, those contractual limitations should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. The amount that could be realized under the insurance contract should be determined on an individual policy (or certificate) level and should include any amount realized on the assumed surrender of the last individual policy or certificate in a group policy The Company holds several life insurance policies, however, the policies do not contain any provisions that would restrict or reduce the cash surrender value of the policies. The consensus in EITF Issue 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company applied the guidance in EITF Issue 06-5 effective January 1, 2007 which did not have any effect on the Company's financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." This Statement allows companies the choice to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or January 1, 2008 as to the Company, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial statements. 13 UNITED BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 NOTE D - OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contracts are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment. A summary of the notional or contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at the indicated dates is as follows:

15 UNITED BANCORP, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discusses the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2007, as compared to December 31, 2006, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included herein. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this document, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "projected" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Banks' market areas, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Banks' market areas and competition, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any statements expressed with respect to future periods. The Company is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity or capital resources except as discussed herein. The Company is not aware of any current recommendation by regulatory authorities that would have such effect if implemented. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date such statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management makes certain judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgment. The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses reflect our evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration of all information available to management. In developing this assessment, management must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown such as economic factors, development affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses. The allowance is regularly reviewed by management and the board to determine whether the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable losses. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed loans, statistical loss estimates for loan pools that are based on historical loss experience, and general loss estimates that are based on the size, quality and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay and current economic and industry conditions. Also considered as part of that judgment is a review of each bank's trend in delinquencies and loan losses, and economic factors. 16 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on management's current judgment about the credit quality of the loan portfolio. While the Company strives to reflect all known risk factors in its evaluation, judgment errors may occur. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION Earning Assets - Loans At March 31, 2007, gross loans were $227.1 million, compared to $231.5 million at year-end 2006, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 1.9%. The decrease in total outstanding loans was the result of a decrease in the commercial portfolio. Management attributes the decrease in loans to the sluggish loan demand in the markets served. Installment loans represented 17.6% of total loans at March 31, 2007, compared to 18.0% at December 31, 2006. This indirect lending type of financing carries somewhat more risk than real estate lending, however, it also provides for higher yields. The targeted lending areas encompass four metropolitan areas, minimizing the risk to changes in economic conditions in the communities housing the Company's 17 branch locations. Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprised 58.2% of total loans at March 31, 2007 compared to 57.6% at December 31, 2006. Commercial and commercial real estate loans have decreased $1.3 million, or 1.0% since December 31, 2006. The Company has originated and purchased participations in loans from other banks for out-of-area commercial and commercial real estate loans to benefit from consistent economic growth outside the Company's primary market area. Real estate loans were 24.0% of total loans at March 31, 2007 and 24.3% at year-end 2006. Real estate loans decreased by 2.9% or $1.6 million since December 31, 2006. Real estate lending for the three months of 2007 has been extremely slow with respect to the Company's adjustable rate mortgage products. As of March 31, 2007, the Banks have approximately $34.1 million in fixed rate loans that they service for a fee that is typically 25 basis points. The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management and the Board of Directors estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance balance and the provision charged to expense are reviewed by management and the Board of Directors monthly using a risk evaluation model that considers borrowers' past due experience, economic conditions and various other circumstances that are subject to change over time. Management believes the current balance of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses associated with the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were approximately $146,000, or 6.2%, of the beginning balance in the allowance for loan losses. 17 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) Earning Assets - Securities and Federal Funds Sold The securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government agency-backed securities, tax-exempt obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain other investments. The Company does not hold any collateralized mortgage-backed securities other than those issued by U.S. government agencies, or derivative securities. The quality rating of obligations of state and political subdivisions within Ohio is no less than Aaa, Aa or A, with all out-of-state bonds rated at AAA. Board policy permits the purchase of certain non-rated bonds of local schools, townships and municipalities, based on their estimated levels of credit risk. Securities available for sale at March 31, 2007 increased approximately $6.7 million, or 5.0% from year-end 2006 totals. This growth partially reflects deployment of the Company's increased deposits. Securities held to maturity at March 31, 2007 decreased approximately $592,000, or 3.3% compared to year-end 2006 totals. Sources of Funds - Deposits The Company's primary source of funds is core deposits from retail and business customers. These core deposits include all categories of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. For the period ended March 31, 2007, total core deposits increased approximately $9.2 million, or 3.2%. The Company's interest-bearing demand deposits increased $9.8 million, or 9.8%, noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $1.5 million, or 6.3% while certificates of deposits under $100,000 increased by $1.6 million, or 1.2%. As part of a strategic focus to grow deposits the Banks have introduced premium rate money market index accounts. The Company has a strong deposit base from public agencies, including local school districts, city and township municipalities, public works facilities and others that may tend to be more seasonal in nature resulting from the receipt and disbursement of state and federal grants. These entities have maintained fairly static balances with the Company due to various funding and disbursement timeframes. Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 are not considered part of core deposits and as such are used to balance rate sensitivity as a tool of funds management. At March 31, 2007, certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 decreased $1.2 million, or 2.7%, from year-end 2006 totals. Sources of Funds - Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings Other interest-bearing liabilities include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, sweep accounts, federal funds purchased, Treasury, Tax and Loan notes payable and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. In the first three months of 2007, the Company continued to utilize the FHLB programs to manage interest rate risk and liquidity positions. The majority of the Company's repurchase agreements are with local school districts and city and county governments. As a result of the Company's growth in deposits in 2007, total borrowings, including federal funds purchased, decreased approximately $5.5 million, or 10.1% from year-end 2006 totals. 18 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AND 2006 Net Income Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $0.16, compared with $0.15, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of 6.7%. In dollars, the Company's net income increased by $16,000, or 2.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same quarter in 2006. Net Interest Income Net interest income, by definition, is the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Various factors contribute to changes in net interest income, including volumes, interest rates and the composition or mix of interest-earning assets in relation to interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income decreased 6.5%, or $205,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to continued downward pressure on the net interest margin due to a continuation of the flat yield curve environment. Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was $6.4 million compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2006, an increase of $441,000, or 7.4%. The increase can be attributed to the overall higher yield of the loan portfolio due to increasing interest rates. Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 when compared to the same three-month period ended March 31, 2006, increased by 22.8%, or $646,000. The Company has experienced an increase in interest expense due to growth in interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the effect of a higher interest rate environment in 2007 as compared to 2006. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $183,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $102,000 for the same period in 2006. The increase in loan loss provision for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 is primarily due to increased net charge-offs period to period. In April 2007, the Company recovered approximately $100,000 related to nonperforming assets. Noninterest Income Total noninterest income is made up of bank related fees and service charges, as well as other income producing services provided, sale of secondary market loans, ATM income, early redemption penalties for certificates of deposit, safe deposit rental income, internet bank service fees, earnings on bank-owned life insurance and other miscellaneous items. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $668,000 compared to $612,000 for the same three-month period ended March 31, 2006, an increase of approximately 9.2%, or $56,000. During the three-months ended March 31, 2007, the increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by increase of $48,000 related to service charge on deposit accounts. 19 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AND 2006 Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $179,000, or 6.4%, from the three months ended March 31, 2006. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $43,000, or 2.9% mainly due to reduced levels of staff. Other noninterest expenses decreased $123,000 which included decreases in data communication expenses, merchant interchange and expenses related to other real estate owned. CAPITAL RESOURCES Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is the primary means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company. Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2007, totaled $32.8 million compared to $32.6 million at December 31, 2006, a 0.6% increase. Total shareholders' equity in relation to total assets was 7.8% at March 31, 2007 and 7.7% at December 31, 2006. In 2001, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to create a class of preferred shares with 2,000,000 authorized shares. This enables the Company, at the option of the Board of Directors, to issue series of preferred shares in a manner calculated to take advantage of financing techniques which may provide a lower effective cost of capital to the Company. The amendment also provides greater flexibility to the Board of Directors in structuring the terms of equity securities that may be issued by the Company. Although this preferred stock is a financial tool, it has not been utilized to date. The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("The Plan") for shareholders under which the Company's common stock will be purchased by the Plan for participants with automatically reinvested dividends. The Plan does not represent a change in the Company's dividend policy or a guarantee of future dividends. The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of The Federal Reserve System as a multi-bank holding company. The affiliate banks are subject to regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions. The most important of these various regulations address capital adequacy. The minimums related to such capital requirements are:
TOTAL TIER 1 TIER 1 CAPITAL TO CAPITAL TO CAPITAL TO RISK-WEIGHTED RISK-WEIGHTED AVERAGE ASSETS ASSETS ASSETS ------------- ------------- ---------- Well capitalized 10.00% 6.00% 5.00% Adequately capitalized 8.00% 4.00% 4.00% Undercapitalized 6.00% 3.00% 3.00%
20 UNITED BANCORP, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) The following table illustrates the Company's well-capitalized classification at March 31, 2007
MARCH 31, 2007 (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) ---------------------- Tier 1 capital $ 38,407 Total risk-based capital 40,790 Risk-weighted assets 257,839 Average total assets 414,720 Total risk-based capital ratio 15.82% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 14.90% Tier 1 capital to average assets 9.26%
LIQUIDITY Management's objective in managing liquidity is maintaining the ability to continue meeting the cash flow needs of its customers, such as borrowings or deposit withdrawals, as well as its own financial commitments. The principal sources of liquidity are net earnings, loan payments, maturing securities and sales of securities available for sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits with banks. Along with its liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of liquidity available to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These include, but are not limited to, the purchase of federal funds, the ability to borrow funds under line of credit agreements with correspondent banks, a borrowing agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and the adjustment of interest rates to obtain depositors. Management feels that it has the capital adequacy and profitability to meet the current and projected liquidity needs of its customers. INFLATION Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities relate to banking activities and are monetary in nature. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP"). GAAP currently requires the Company to measure the financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars, with the exception of securities available for sale, impaired loans and other real estate loans that are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of money due to rising inflation can cause purchasing power loss. Management's opinion is that movements in interest rates affect the financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation do affect each other, but do not always move in correlation with each other. The Company's ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's performance. 21 UNITED BANCORP, INC. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There has been no significant change from disclosures included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company, under the supervision, and with the participation, of its management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15e. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007 in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 22 UNITED BANCORP, INC.

United Bancorp maintains a stock repurchase program publicly announced by a press release issued on November 21, 2006, under which its Board of Directors authorized management to cause the Company to purchase up to $2 million of its common shares over a two-year period. Such authorization will expire on November 21, 2008. The Company adopted the United Bancorp, Inc. Affiliate Banks Directors and Officers Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), which is an unfunded deferred compensation plan. Amounts deferred pursuant to the Plan remain unrestricted assets of the Company, and the right to participate in the Plan is limited to members of the Board of Directors and certain senior executive officers. Under the Plan, eligible participants may defer fees payable to them by the Company, which fees are used to acquire common shares which are credited to a participant's respective account. Except in the event of certain emergencies, no distributions are to be made from any account as long as the participant continues to be an employee or member of the Board of Directors. Upon termination of service, the aggregate number of shares credited to the participant's account are distributed to him or her along with any cash proceeds credited to the account which have not yet been invested in the Company's stock. On March 11, 2007, the Company allocated a total of 2,532 common shares to participant accounts for the aggregate purchase price of $26,586. No underwriting fees, discounts, or commissions are paid in connection with the Plan. The shares allocated to participant accounts have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) thereof. ITEM 3.
