REPORTS EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.41PER SHARE FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007, AN INCREASE OF 37% MARTINS FERRY, OHIO *** United Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBCP), headquartered in Martins Ferry, Ohio reported earnings of $1,874,000 and $1,392,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. On a per share basis, the Company's basic earnings were $0.41 for 2007, as compared to $0.30 for 2006, an increase of 36.7%. Earnings per share data for 2006 gives effect to the 10% stock split paid in the form of a dividend in December 2006. Third quarter 2007 earnings were $0.09 compared to $0.09 in for the third quarter of 2006. Randall M. Greenwood, Senior Vice President, CFO and Treasurer remarked, "The Company's nine month earnings in 2007 generated an annualized 0.59% return on average assets ("ROA") and an 7.9% return on average equity ("ROE") compared to 0.45% ROA and 5.9% ROE for the comparable nine month period in 2006. With the recent more positive slope of the treasury yield curve and the lower cost of short term funds, we are projecting improvement in the Company's net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2007. Service charge income on deposit accounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $312,000 which reflects the positive impact of a courtesy overdraft program implemented by the Company in late 2006. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded costs of $160,000 relating to the recent charter merger. On an after tax basis, these non recurring expenses amounted to $0.02 per share. Without this item the Company's earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007 would have been $0.11 compared to $0.09 for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 22.2%." James W. Everson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "As announced last quarter, we struck July 1st as the start date 'for accounting purposes' of the merger of The Community Bank with and into The Citizens Savings Bank. The 'physical consolidation' of our two charters under the management group of The Citizens Savings Bank was completed on October 31st resulting in a 22% reduction in staffing at The Community Bank division. Our flat third quarter earnings reflect the cost of employee severance payments to accomplish this which should translate into improved earnings moving forward into the fourth and future quarters. As reported in previous releases, we project a normalization of earnings to occur over the next twelve months as a result of enhanced operating and cost efficiencies to be realized from this consolidation. Having merged our bank charters into a single charter and common operating system, we shall save valuable resources and allow each of our offices to enhance our focus on growing our banking franchises by providing the highest level of customer service."
