Exhibit 99.1

FIRST UNITED CORPORATION REVISES 1^st QUARTER 2012 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OAKLAND, MARYLAND – May 2, 2012: First United Corporation (NASDAQ: FUNC) issued a press release on April 27, 2012 in which it announced, among other things, a net loss attributable to common shareholders of approximately $3.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, or basic and diluted loss per common share of $.61. Subsequent to that announcement, the Corporation determined that it would be able to recognize an additional $715,000 in non-interest income for the first quarter due to the March 2012 death of an insured under a bank-owned life insurance policy owned by the Corporation's bank subsidiary, First United Bank & Trust. This additional amount represents the tax-free death benefit that is payable under the policy. As a result, the Corporation is revising its earlier announcement to report consolidated net loss attributable to common shareholders of approximately $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, or basic and diluted loss per common share of $.50. The following table sets forth how this development impacts the financial items discussed in the prior release:
