Explanatory Note:

United Bancorp, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, originally filed with the Commission on August 16, 2010 (the "Original Report"), solely to file Part I (Financial Information), Items 1 through 4 and Part II (Other Information), Item 6, Exhibits 31 and 32 of the report, which were omitted from the Original Report pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 12b-25. No other changes have been made to the Original Report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and United Bancorp, Inc. Forward-looking statements are identifiable by words or phrases such as "outlook" or "strategy"; that an event or trend "may", "should", "will", "is likely", or is "probable" to occur or "continue" or "is scheduled" or "on track" or that the Company or its management "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "forecasts", "intends", "predicts", "projects", or "expects" a particular result, or is "confident," "optimistic" or has an "opinion" that an event will occur, or other words or phrases such as "ongoing", "future", or "tend" and variations of such words and similar expressions.  Such statements are based upon current beliefs and expectations and involve substantial risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, statements related to real estate valuation, future levels of non-performing loans, the rate of asset dispositions, future capital levels, capital raising activities, dividends, future growth and funding sources, future liquidity levels, future profitability levels, our ability to successfully consolidate our subsidiary banks, the benefits of the bank consolidation on our clients, bank co-workers and the local communities in which we operate, our ability to comply with our memorandum of understanding, the effects on earnings of changes in interest rates and the future level of other revenue sources.  All of the information concerning interest rate sensitivity is forward-looking.

Management's determination of the provision and allowance for loan losses, the appropriate carrying value of intangible assets (including goodwill, mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets) and the fair value of investment securities (including whether any impairment on any investment security is temporary or other-than-temporary and the amount of any impairment) involves judgments that are inherently forward-looking. There can be no assurance that future loan losses will be limited to the amounts estimated. Our ability to fully comply with all of the provisions of our memorandum of understanding, improve regulatory capital ratios, raise additional capital, successfully implement new programs and initiatives, increase efficiencies, utilize our deferred tax asset, address regulatory issues, respond to declines in collateral values and credit quality, and improve profitability is not entirely within our control and is not assured. The future effect of changes in the financial and credit markets and the national and regional economy on the banking industry, generally, and on United Bancorp, Inc., specifically, are also inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("risk factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. United Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update, clarify or revise forward-looking statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this report.
 
Risk factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in "Item 1A – Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in “Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors” of this report; the timing and level of asset growth; changes in market interest rates,

changes in FDIC assessment rates, changes in banking laws and regulations; changes in property values, asset quality and the financial capability of borrowers; actions of bank regulatory authorities; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances and issues; the impact of possible future litigation; governmental and regulatory policy changes; opportunities for acquisitions and the effective completion of acquisitions and integration of acquired entities; changes in value and credit quality of investment securities; the local and global effects of current and future military actions; and current uncertainties and fluctuations in the financial markets and stocks of financial services providers due to concerns about credit availability and concerns about the Michigan economy in particular. These and other factors are representative of the risk factors that may emerge and could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of United Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or “United”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) believed necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Bank Consolidation – Effective April 1, 2010, UBI completed the consolidation of its subsidiary banks, United Bank & Trust and United Bank & Trust – Washtenaw. Under the consolidation, United Bank & Trust – Washtenaw was consolidated and merged with and into United Bank & Trust, and the consolidated bank operates under the charter and name of United Bank & Trust.

Note 2 – Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, volume of loans, amount and composition of the loan portfolio, and other factors management believes to be relevant. The Company's past loan loss experience is determined by evaluating the average charge-offs over the most recent eight quarters. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company determined its past loan loss experience by using a rolling twelve quarter historical approach. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes a loan is uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations require an increase in the allowance for loan losses, that increase is recorded as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed or when the internal grading system indicates a substandard or doubtful classification.

Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, home equity and second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When credit analysis


of the borrower's operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt service requirements, including the Company's subsidiary bank's loans to the borrower, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Often this is associated with a delay or shortfall of payments of thirty days or more. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status when ninety days or more past due or when the borrower is in bankruptcy. Loans in nonaccrual status are often also considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when management believes they are uncollectible. This typically occurs when the loan is 120 or more days past due unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection.

Note 3 - Securities

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at their fair values and the related net unrealized holding gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income. Premiums and discounts on securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Realized gains or losses are based upon the amortized cost of the specific securities sold. Balances of securities by category are shown below at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. All securities are classified as available for sale.

Unrealized gains and losses within the investment portfolio are determined to be temporary. The Company has performed an evaluation of its investments for other than temporary impairment, and no losses were recognized during 2010. Loss from other than temporary impairment for 2009 consisted of a write-down of one equity security that was deemed to be impaired.

Note 5 - Stock Options and Other Equity Awards

Through December 31, 2009, the Company granted stock options under its 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which is a non-qualified stock option plan as defined under Internal Revenue Service regulations. The shares of stock that are subject to options are the authorized and unissued shares of common stock of the Company. Under the 2005 Plan, directors and management of the Company and subsidiaries were given the right to purchase stock of the Company at the then-current market price at the time the option is granted. The options have a three-year vesting period, and with certain exceptions, expire at the end of ten years, three years after retirement or ninety days after other separation from the Company. The 2005 Stock Option Plan expired effective January 1, 2010, and no additional options may be granted under the plan after that date.

On April 27, 2010, shareholders of the Company approved the United Bancorp, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2010 (the "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan permits the grant and award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards and other stock-based and stock-related awards (collectively referred to as "incentive awards") to directors, consultative board members, officers and other key employees of United Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The purpose of the plan is to provide participants with an increased incentive to contribute to the long-term performance and growth of the Company and its subsidiaries, to join the interests of participants with the interests of the Company's shareholders through the opportunity for increased stock ownership and to attract and retain participants. The plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in structuring long-term incentive compensation to best promote these objectives.

No incentive awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan on a date that is more than ten years after the Incentive Plan's effective date. The effective date of the Incentive Plan is February 25, 2010. Incentive awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan to participants for no cash consideration or for such minimum consideration as determined by the Compensation & Governance Committee. The Incentive Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

No incentive awards were granted, and no outstanding stock options were exercised, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. For stock options outstanding at June 30, 2010, the range of average exercise prices was $6.00 to $32.14 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 5.78 years. At June 30, 2010, 218,402 options were exercisable. The Company recorded $75,000 in compensation expense related to vested stock options, less estimated forfeitures, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. As of the end of the second quarter of 2010, unrecognized compensation expense related to the stock options totaled $107,140 and is expected to be recognized over three years.

At June 30, 2010, the total options outstanding had no intrinsic value. Intrinsic value was determined by calculating the difference between the Company's closing stock price on June 30, 2010 and the exercise price of each option, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options held by each holder, assuming all option holders had exercised their stock options on June 30, 2010.

Note 6 - Loan Servicing

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others was $574.2 million and $522.5 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The balance of loans serviced for others related to servicing rights that have been capitalized was $573.3 million and $521.1 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Note 9 - Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value Measurements. The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC Topic 820-10-20 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820-10-55 establishes a fair value hierarchy that emphasizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated


balance sheets, as well as the general classification of those instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government agency securities, mortgage backed securities, obligations of states and municipalities, and certain corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities, but rather, relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements were classified at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of those instruments under the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value


of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and the level within the FASB ASC fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

Estimated fair values require subjective judgments and are approximate. The above estimates of fair value are not necessarily representative of amounts that could be realized in actual market transactions, or of the underlying value of the Company. Changes in the following methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimated fair value:

Cash and cash equivalents, FHLB stock, loans held for sale, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable The carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values of these instruments at the respective balance sheet dates.


Net portfolio loans – The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for personal loans for which rates adjust quarterly or more frequently, and for business and tax exempt loans that are prime related and for which rates adjust immediately or quarterly. The fair value for residential mortgage loans that are held for sale on the secondary market is the price offered by the secondary market purchaser. The fair value of all other loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates for loans with similar characteristics and maturities. The allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate of discount for credit quality concerns.

Total deposits – With the exception of certificates of deposit, the carrying value is deemed to be the fair value due to the demand nature of the deposits. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates paid on certificates of deposit with similar maturities.

Short Term Borrowings The carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values of these instruments at the respective balance sheet dates.

FHLB Advances – The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates on advances with similar maturities.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments – Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and undisbursed loans are deemed to have no material fair value as such commitments are generally fulfilled at current market rates.

Note 10 – Intangible Assets

In 2009, management performed an impairment evaluation to identify potential impairment of goodwill carried by the Company’s subsidiary banks (the "Banks"). As a result of the impairment evaluation, a goodwill impairment charge was taken in the first quarter of 2009 for the Company’s entire book value of goodwill of $3.469 million. This non-cash charge was recorded as a component of noninterest expense. The goodwill on the books of the Banks originally resulted from the acquisition of various banking offices between 1992 and 1999.

Note 11 – Accounting Developments

FASB ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860); Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC Topic 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, which pertains to securitizations. ASU 2009-16 requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continued exposure to the risks related to transferred assets. The Company adopted ASU 2009-16 effective January 1, 2010 and adoption did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value


Measurements. ASU 2010-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others. It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers. It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis. The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note 9 - Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities. These new disclosure requirements were effective for the period ended March 31, 2010, except for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. There was no significant effect to the Company’s financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this ASU.
 
FASB ASU 2010-18 - Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. In April, 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-18 - Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. This Update clarifies that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30, which provides guidance on accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments do not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40. The Company has adopted ASU 2010-18, but does not anticipate that its adoption will have an impact on its financial statements.

ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310):  Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. In July 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310):  Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 requires that more information be disclosed about the credit quality of a company’s loans and the allowance for loan losses held against those loans. A company will need to disaggregate new and existing disclosure based on how it develops its allowance for loan losses and how it manages credit exposures. Existing disclosures to be presented on a disaggregated basis include a rollforward of the allowance for loan losses, the related recorded investment in such loans, the nonaccrual status of loans, and impaired loans. Additional disclosure is also required about the credit quality indicators of loans by class at the end of the reporting period, the aging of past due loans, information about troubled debt restructurings, and significant purchases and sales of loans during the reporting period by class. For public companies, ASU 2010-20 requires certain disclosures as of the end of a reporting period effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.


Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion provides information about the consolidated financial condition and results of operations for United Bancorp, Inc. (“United” or the “Company”)  and its subsidiary bank, United Bank & Trust ("UBT" or the "Bank"), for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.


The Company is a Michigan corporation and is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act. The Company has corporate power to engage in activities permitted to business corporations under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, subject to the limitations of the Bank Holding Company Act and regulations of the Federal Reserve. The Bank offers a full range of banking services to individuals, corporations, fiduciaries and other institutions. Banking services include checking, NOW accounts, savings, time deposit accounts, money market deposit accounts, safe deposit facilities, electronic banking and bill payment, and money transfers.

United’s lending operations provide real estate loans, secured and unsecured business and personal loans, consumer installment loans, check-credit loans, home equity loans, accounts receivable and inventory financing, equipment lease financing and construction financing. The Bank’s Treasury Management Division provides cash management services including remote deposit capture, Image Positive Pay, lockbox services, business sweep accounts and credit card and merchant services.

The UBT Wealth Management Group offers a variety of fiduciary services to individuals, corporations and governmental entities, including services as trustee for personal, pension, and employee benefit trusts. The department provides trust services, financial planning services, investment services, custody services and pension paying agent services, and acts as the personal representative for estates. The Bank offers nondeposit investment products through licensed representatives in its banking offices, and sells credit and life insurance products and annuities.

The Bank operates United Structured Finance ("USFC"). USFC offers simple, effective financing solutions to small businesses, primarily by engaging in SBA 504 and 7(a) lending. The loans generated by USFC are typically sold on the secondary market. Gains on the sale of those loans are included in income from loan sales and servicing. USFC revenue provides additional diversity to the Company's income stream, and provides financing alternatives to clients of the Bank and non-bank clients.

Economic Trends
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the State of Michigan at the end of May, 2010 was 13.6%, down from 14.1% at March 31, 2010. This represents the first time since April of 2006 that Michigan had not posted the highest unemployment level among the fifty states and the District of Columbia. The Lenawee County unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) of 15.0% also declined, but remains above Michigan's average level, while the Washtenaw County unemployment rate of 8.8% results in its ranking of one of the lowest in Michigan.


While some improvement has been noted in the economy, the Company's loan demand (other than for residential mortgages) continues to contract and loan quality has not improved significantly. Loan quality concerns are primarily concentrated in the areas of construction and residential real estate development, but also include a broader base of the Bank’s loan portfolios.

Other Developments
 
Memorandum of Understanding
On January 15, 2010, UBT entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the FDIC and the Michigan Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation (“OFIR”). The MOU is not a "written agreement" for purposes of Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The MOU documents an understanding among UBT, the FDIC and OFIR that, among other things: (i) UBT will not declare or pay any dividend to the Company without the prior consent of the FDIC and OFIR; and (ii) UBT will have and maintain its Tier 1 capital ratio at a minimum of 9% within six months from the date of the MOU and for the duration of the MOU, and will maintain its total risk-based capital ratio at a minimum of 12% for the duration of the MOU. For additional information about the capital ratios of UBT, see the information under the heading "Regulatory Capital" below, which information is incorporated here by reference.


United incurred a net loss for the second quarter of 2010  of $3.499 million, as ongoing loan quality issues resulted in continued elevated levels of the Company’s charge to its provision for loan losses. United’s net loss for the first six months of 2010 was $4.308 million, compared to a net loss of $5.461 million for the first six months of 2009. Noninterest income was down compared to 2009 levels, primarily as a result of a slowing of volume of mortgage loans sold on the secondary market. At the same time, the Company’s expenses continued to be considerably lower than 2009 levels, in spite of elevated costs related to ORE property and other professional fees. Net loss per share for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.74, and net loss per share for the first six months of 2010 was $0.95. Return on average shareholders’ equity for the second quarter of 2010 was -17.56% and was -10.80% for the first six months of 2010.

Net revenue consists of net interest income plus noninterest income. Net revenue was down 9.8% in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same quarter of 2009, and was down 8.1% for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Noninterest expenses were down 4.6% in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2009, and were down 7.5% for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, excluding goodwill impairment.

The ongoing impact of previously-announced cost containment and reduction measures have helped to reduce noninterest expenses in 2010 compared to 2009. The Company did not pay in 2009, and has not paid in 2010, merit increases to its staff. Incentive compensation was not paid at the depressed level of earnings. In addition, effective July 1, 2009, the Company discontinued its profit sharing and employer matching contributions to its 401(k) plan. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company implemented a number of staff reductions, which, along with attrition, is expected to result in annualized savings in excess of $1.0 million in 2010. Reductions were also made in Director fees for 2010.


Gross portfolio loans declined by $11.2 million, or 1.8%, from March 31, 2010. For the first six months of 2010, loans have decreased by $27.2 million, or 4.2%. For the first six months of 2010, $10.1 million of the reduction was the result of net charge-offs within the Company’s loan portfolio. In addition, in the second quarter of 2010, $9.2 million of portfolio loans were refinanced into SBA loans that are carried as loans held for sale at June 30, 2010, reducing portfolio loans but increasing loans held for sale. The remaining decline was a result of slowing of loan demand related to the troubled economic conditions in the region. At the same time, the Company continued to maintain high levels of liquidity, with investments, federal funds and cash equivalents held to improve the liquidity of the balance sheet during this period of economic uncertainty. While these levels have declined from March 31, 2010 levels, the Company expects to maintain higher than normal levels of liquidity until portfolio loan volume improves and more attractive investment opportunities emerge. The reduction in liquid assets during the quarter, which resulted in part from a decline of $56.0 million in total deposits and FHLB advances, also resulted in improved net interest margin.


Securities

Balances in the Company’s securities portfolio increased in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting a number of purchases in excess of maturities, calls and sales. The makeup of the Company’s investment portfolio evolves with the changing price and risk structure of the portfolio, and liquidity needs of the Company. The table below reflects the percentage composition of the investment securities portfolio of the Company by type as of the end of the second quarter of 2010 and at December 31, 2009.

The Company's portfolio contains no mortgage securities or structured notes that the Company believes to be “high risk.”

Changes in unrealized gains and losses are a result of changes in market interest rates on similar investments. The table below summarizes unrealized gains and losses in each category of the portfolio at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

FHLB Stock

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) and holds a $3.0 million investment in stock of the FHLBI. The investment is carried at par value, as there is not an active market for FHLBI stock. The Federal Home Loan Banks continue to record accounting impairments on their private label mortgage-backed securities portfolios, which they hold as long-term investments, and account for them on an amortized cost basis. If total Federal Home Loan Bank gross unrealized losses were deemed “other than temporary” for accounting purposes, this would significantly impair the FHLB capital levels and the resulting value of FHLBI stock.

The Company regularly reviews the credit quality of FHLBI stock for impairment. In spite of some accounting impairments on private-label mortgage-backed securities, FHLBI was profitable in 2009, and paid dividends for each quarter of the year. Based on these and other factors, the Company determined that no impairment of FHLBI stock was necessary as of June 30, 2010.

Loan balances have declined by $11.2 million, or 1.8%, in the second quarter of 2010. Loan balances for the first six months of 2010 were down $27.2 million, or 4.2%, and were down $54.8 million, or 8.1%, over the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. Personal loans on the Company’s balance sheet included home equity lines of credit, direct and indirect loans for automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles, and other items for personal use. Personal loan balances have remained relatively flat, declining by 0.1% for the most recent quarter and increasing by 0.3% since June 30, 2009. Business loan balances were down 1.4% during the


most recent quarter, bringing decline for the first six months of 2010 to 4.6% and decline for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 to 7.9%. The decline in business loans reflects a reduction in demand, primarily relating to the current economic conditions, as well as write-downs, charge-offs and payoffs.

The Bank generally sells its production of fixed-rate mortgages on the secondary market, and retains high credit quality mortgage loans that are not otherwise eligible to be sold on the secondary market and shorter-term adjustable rate mortgages in its portfolio. As a result, the mix of mortgage production for any given year will have an impact on the amount of mortgages held in the portfolio of the Bank. The Bank experienced significant volume in residential real estate mortgage financing during 2009, and this included the refinancing of some portfolio loans and sale of those loans on the secondary market. This resulted in a decline in residential mortgage balances on the Bank’s portfolios of 4.5% over the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. However, refinancing has slowed significantly in recent months, and portfolio balances of residential mortgages decreased by 1.7% in the second quarter of 2010 and 1.0% in the first six months of 2010.

Outstanding balances of loans for construction and development declined by $3.3 million in the second quarter, $6.9 million in the first six months of 2010, and $18.3 million since June 30, 2009. The change in balances reflects a decrease in the amount of individual construction loan volume, the shift of some construction loans to permanent financing, and the payoff or charge-off of a number of construction and development loans. Residential construction loans generally convert to residential mortgages to be retained in the Bank's portfolios or to be sold in the secondary market, while commercial construction loans generally will be converted to commercial mortgages.

Credit Quality

The Company actively monitors delinquencies, nonperforming assets and potential problem loans. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes ninety days past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection, or the borrower's capacity to repay the loan and the collateral value appears sufficient. The chart below shows the amount of nonperforming assets by category.

Total nonaccrual loans have increased by $4.1 million since the end of 2009, while accruing loans past due 90 days or more have decreased by $3.9 million for the same period. The increase in nonaccrual loans reflects the move of some loans to nonaccrual status, net of payoff or charge-off of some nonperforming loans, while the decrease in delinquency primarily reflects the move of delinquent borrowers to nonaccrual status. Loan workout and collection efforts continue with all delinquent clients, in an effort to bring them back to performing status.

Total nonperforming loans increased by $214,000 since December 31, 2009. Total nonperforming loans as a percent of total portfolio loans moved from 4.87% at the end of 2009 to 5.12% at June 30, 2010, and the allowance coverage of nonperforming loans improved from 63.2% at December 31, 2009 to 73.3% at June 30, 2010.

Holdings of other assets owned increased by $277,000 since the end of 2009, but have declined by $586,000 over the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. Other real estate owned includes twenty-nine properties that were acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure. The properties include twenty-one commercial properties, seven of which were the result of out-of-state loan participations, and five residential properties. One commercial property is leased, and all are for sale. Also included in these totals are other assets owned of $3,000, consisting of one motor vehicle, which is also for sale.

Accruing restructured loans of $11.3 million at June 30, 2010 are comprised of two categories of loans on which interest is being accrued under their restructured terms, and the loans are current or less than ninety days past due. The first category consists of $9.4 million of commercial loans that have been temporarily modified as interest-only loans without a sufficient corresponding increase in the interest rate. The average rate on these modified commercial loans was 6.62%, compared to 5.64% earned on the entire commercial loan portfolio in the second quarter of 2010.

Also included in accruing restructured loans are mortgage loans whose terms have been restructured at less than market terms and include rate modifications and forbearance. These totals consist of ten loans for a total of $1.9 million at June 30, 2010, all of which are the result of residential mortgage loans modified as part of United’s mortgage modification program implemented in 2009.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased by $3.3 million during the first half of 2010. The increase reflects, in part, an increase in certain loss factors assumed in the Company’s general valuation allowance analysis. Net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2010 were $6.6 million, which included $2.2 million for the charge-off of a construction and land development loan which carried a specific allowance of $1.4 million as of March 31, 2010 but was further impaired as a result of an appraisal obtained during the second quarter of 2010. Management believes that the Company's allowance for loan losses provides for currently estimated losses inherent in its portfolio.

A loan is classified as impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (including both interest and principal) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Within the Bank’s loan portfolio, $47.7 million of impaired loans have been identified as of June 30, 2010, compared with $37.1 million as of June 30, 2009, and the specific allowance for impaired loans was $7.0 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $7.5 million at June 30, 2009. The ultimate amount of the impairment and the potential losses to the Company may be higher or lower than estimated, depending on the realizable value of the collateral. The level of the provision made in connection with impaired loans reflects the amount management believes to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level, based upon the Bank’s current analysis of losses inherent in their loan portfolios.

In 2009, the Company modified its method of estimating allocation of the allowance for loan losses for non-impaired loans. The Company has identified pools of loans on which to apply historical loss experience methodology. For each of these pools, the Company calculated a historical base rate and then attempted to bring the historical charge-off rate up to current conditions through various qualitative adjustments. Beginning in 2007, the historical period used was a three-year period. Effective with the first quarter of 2009, the Company slightly modified this approach by using a rolling twelve quarter historical approach.

The Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses issued in 2006 by Federal banking regulators indicates that “during periods of significant economic expansion or contraction, the relevance of data that are several years old may be limited.” Current economic conditions have resulted in significantly increasing charge-offs. Total net charge-offs as a percent of average loans for 2007 were 0.66%, increased to 1.28% in 2008, and increased further to 3.47% in 2009. For these reasons, the Company began using a rolling eight-quarter historical base effective with the fourth quarter of 2009.



Historically, the Company used three pools on which to apply historical loss experience methodology, those being business, residential mortgage and consumer loans. The Company’s construction and land development (“CLD”) portfolio has incurred significantly higher losses than the overall business portfolio, due to the more severe impact of the recession on the real estate development segment and the more pronounced drop in collateral value (i.e. raw land and residential real estate developments). It became apparent that the CLD loans were not representative of the overall business loan portfolio and should be analyzed separately. As a result, a fourth pool covering CLD loans for allocation of the allowance for loan losses was implemented as of December 31, 2009.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses applicable to each loan category as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The allocation method used takes into account specific allocations for identified credits and a historical loss average, adjusted for certain qualitative factors, in determining the allocation for the balance of the portfolio.

The personal loan portfolio consists of direct and indirect installment, home equity and unsecured revolving line of credit loans. Installment loans consist primarily of home equity loans and loans for consumer durable goods, principally automobiles. Indirect personal loans consist of loans for automobiles, boats and manufactured housing, and make up a small percent of the personal loans.

Business loans carry the largest balances per loan, and therefore, any single loss would be proportionally larger than losses in other portfolios. In addition to internal loan rating systems and active monitoring of loan trends, the Bank uses an independent loan review firm to assess the quality of its business loan portfolio.

CLD loans make up 8.0% of the Company’s loan portfolio. This sector of the economy has been particularly negatively impacted by declines in housing activity, and has had a disproportionate negative impact on the credit quality of the Company. The following table shows trends of CLD loans, along with ratios relating to their relative credit quality at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

While CLD loans totaled $49.8 million at June 30, 2010 and made up 8.0% of total portfolio loans, they represented 35.7% of the Company’s nonperforming loans. Charge-offs of CLD loans were 39.4% of total charge-offs in the first half of 2010. Currently impaired CLD loans, in addition to the specific allowance of $1.5 million, have been partially charged down by $13.1 million. As can be seen in the following tables, currently impaired loans represent 41.5% of the total CLD loans, and the Company has provided for loan losses on impaired CLD loans of 56.2% of the balance of such loans at June 30, 2010.

Deposit balances have declined by $52.6 million, or 6.7% during the first half of 2010. Of that, substantially all of the decline was in the second quarter of 2010. In the most recent quarter, demand deposit balances increased by $4.4 million while all other categories of deposits declined by $56.2 million. This decline during the quarter resulted in part from seasonal declines in public funds balances, along with a reduction in wholesale and out of market deposits.

The Bank utilizes purchased or brokered deposits for interest rate risk management purposes, but does not support its growth through the use of those products. The majority of the Bank’s deposits are derived from core client sources, relating to long term relationships with local personal, business and public clients. In addition, the Bank participates in the CDARS program, which allows it to provide competitive CD products while maintaining FDIC insurance for clients with larger balances. The Bank's deposit rates are consistently competitive with other banks in its market areas.



Earnings Summary and Key Ratios

The Company experienced a consolidated net loss of $3.499 million in the second quarter of 2010, resulting primarily from a substantial provision to the Company’s allowance for loan losses, professional fees and charges relating to ORE. The net loss for the first six months of 2010 was $4.308 million, which is an improvement from the net loss of $5.461 million incurred during the first six months of 2009. An after-tax goodwill impairment charge of $2.44 million was taken in the first quarter of 2009.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2010 was substantially unchanged from the first quarter of 2010, and was down 3.0% compared to the second quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, net interest income was down 0.6% compared to the same period of 2009. Noninterest income for the most recent quarter declined by 21.3% from the second quarter of 2009, and was down 21.2% for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Within those decreases, income from loan sales and servicing provided the largest portion of the declines. Noninterest income represented 32.6% of the Company’s net revenues for the second quarter and 31.1% for the first six months of 2010, down from 37.3% and 36.2%, respectively, for the same periods of 2009.

Total noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were down 4.6% and were down 7.5% for the first six months of 2010 from the same period in 2009, excluding the first quarter 2009 goodwill impairment charge. While professional fees and expenses related to nonperforming loans have increased, reductions in other categories of expense have more than offset those increases. In particular, reductions in salaries and employee benefit costs reflect cost containment and reduction measures previously mentioned, including a number of staff reductions undertaken in December, 2009.

The Company’s provision for loan losses of $8.650 million in the second quarter of 2010 was up from $5.40 million for the second quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, the provision of $13.45 million was 9.6% higher than the provision for the same period of 2009.

Return on average assets (“ROA”) for the second quarter of 2010 was -1.60%, compared to -0.34% for the second quarter of 2009. ROA for the first six months of 2010 of -0.97% was improved from -1.25% for the same period in 2009. Return on average shareholders’ equity (“ROE”) for the most recent quarter was
-17.56%, compared to -3.54% for the same quarter of 2009. ROE for the first half of 2010 of -10.80% was improved from -12.88% for the same period in 2009, which included a charge for goodwill impairment.

The following chart shows trends in these and other ratios, along with trends of the major components of earnings for the five most recent quarters.

In an attempt to evaluate the trends of net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense, the Company calculates pre-tax, pre-provision income and return on average assets. This calculation adjusts net income before tax by the amount of the Company’s provision for loan losses and one-time goodwill impairment charge. While this information is not consistent with, or intended to replace, presentation under GAAP, it is presented here for comparison. The Company's pre-tax, pre-provision ROA declined from 1.76% for the second quarter of 2009 to 1.41% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Pre-tax, pre-provision ROA for the first half of 2010 was 1.42%, compared to 1.61% for the same period of 2009. The following table shows the calculation and trend of pre-tax, pre-provision income and return on average assets for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Net Interest Income

Declining interest rates over the past two years have reduced the Company’s yield on earning assets, but have also resulted in a reduction in its cost of funds. Interest income decreased by 9.5% in the first quarter of 2010 and 8.3% in the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, while interest expense decreased 26.1% and 26.4% for the same periods in 2010. This resulted in a decrease in net interest income of 3.0% for the second quarter of 2010 and 0.6% for the first six months of 2010 when compared to the same periods of 2009.

The Company has also experienced a modest decline in its net interest margin over the past several quarters. Net interest margin of 3.76% for the second quarter of 2010 was down from 3.88% for the second quarter of 2009, and net interest margin of 3.71% for the first half of 2010 was down from 3.86% from the same period of 2009. At the same time, net interest margin for the most recent quarter of 3.76% improved from 3.69% for the first quarter of 2010, as a result of


a reduction in FHLB advances and higher-cost deposits, combined with a corresponding reduction in short-term interest bearing assets.

Tax-equivalent yields on earning assets declined from 5.42% for the first six months of 2009 to 4.84% for the same period of 2010, for a reduction of 58 basis points. The Company's average cost of funds decreased by 58 basis points during the same period, and tax equivalent spread of 3.48% remained unchanged for the first six months of 2009 and 2010. The following table provides a summary of the various components of net interest income, as well as the results of changes in balance sheet makeup that have resulted in the changes in spread and net interest margin.

Provision for Loan Losses
The Company’s provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2010 was $8.65 million, up from $4.8 million for the first quarter of 2010 and $5.40 million for the second quarter of 2009. The provision provides for probable incurred losses inherent in the current portfolio.
 
The increase in the provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2010 over the amounts for the first quarter of 2010 and the second quarter of 2009 resulted primarily from increases in certain loss factors assumed in the Company’s general valuation allowance analysis, as well as from an extensive appraisal evaluation process of collateral securing impaired loans. In addition, the Company began recognizing losses on specific residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure at an earlier point in the foreclosure process, in accordance with recently provided regulatory guidance. This resulted in an increase in the portion of the Company’s allowance for loan losses determined by measurement of the impairment in groups of loans with similar characteristics, and resulted in a corresponding increase in the Company’s provision for loan losses during the most recent quarter of approximately $667,000.
 

As the southeast Michigan real estate markets and the economy in general experience further deterioration, the loan portfolio of the Bank is affected by loans to a number of residential real estate developers that are struggling to meet their financial obligations. Loans in the Bank's residential land development and construction portfolios are secured by unimproved and improved land, residential lots, and single-family homes and condominium units. In addition, loans secured by commercial real estate are continuing to experience stresses resulting from the current economic conditions.

Generally, lot sales by the developers/borrowers are taking place at a greatly reduced pace and at reduced prices. As home sales volumes have declined, income of residential developers, contractors and other real estate-dependent borrowers has also been reduced. The Bank has continued to closely monitor the impact of economic circumstances on their lending clients, and is working with these clients to minimize losses. Additional information regarding the provision for loan losses is included in the Credit Quality discussion above.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income decreased by 21.3% for the second quarter of 2010 and 21.2% for the first half of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009, principally as a result of a slowing of volumes of loans sold on the secondary market. The following table summarizes changes in noninterest income by category for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Service charges on deposit accounts were down 21.6% in the second quarter of 2010 and 21.3% in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods a year earlier. Substantially all of the decline in service charges in the current quarter and the first half of 2010 was due to a reduction in NSF and overdraft fees collected.

The Wealth Management Group of UBT provides a relatively large component of the Company's noninterest income. Wealth Management income includes trust fee income and income from the sale of nondeposit investment products within the Bank’s offices. Wealth Management Group income was improved by 16.8% in the second quarter of 2010 and 10.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009.
 

Income from loan sales and servicing was down by 45.6% in the second quarter of 2010 and was down 45.4% for the first half of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009. This decline was primarily a result of two factors. First, the Company’s income from loan sales and servicing includes income from gains on the sale of SBA loans. Implementation of Accounting Standards Update ASU 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (formerly Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140) resulted in 90-day delay in recognition of income on the sale of SBA 7a loans effective January 1, 2010. Revenue of $674,000 was deferred in the second quarter of 2010 and is expected to be recognized in the third quarter of 2010.

Second, the Company’s volume of rate-driven refinancing of residential mortgages has slowed in the past nine months, resulting in a reduction of the volume of mortgage loans sold in the secondary market and a corresponding decline in gains on the sale of those loans. The Bank generally markets its production of fixed rate long-term residential mortgages in the secondary market, and retains adjustable rate mortgages for its portfolios.

The Company maintains a portfolio of sold residential real estate mortgages that it services, and this servicing provides ongoing income for the life of the loans. Loans serviced consist primarily of residential mortgages sold on the secondary market. In addition, the guaranteed portion of SBA loans originated by USFC is typically sold on the secondary market, and gains on the sale of those loans contribute to income from loan sales and servicing. The following table shows the breakdown of income from loan sales and servicing between residential mortgages and USFC.

ATM, debit and credit card fee income provides a source of noninterest income for the Company. The Bank operates nineteen ATMs throughout its market areas, and Bank clients are active users of debit cards. The Bank receives ongoing fee income from credit card referrals and operation of its credit card merchant business. Income from these areas was down overall in the second quarter and first half of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009.

Income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) decreased 8.1% in the most recent quarter and 7.8% in the first half of 2010 as compared to the same periods of 2009. The change reflects decreases in interest crediting rates during the last half of 2009. Other fee income consisted primarily of income from various fee-based banking services, such as sale of official checks, wire transfer fees, safe deposit box income, sweep account and other fees. This category of noninterest income improved by $30,000 in the second quarter of 2010 and $60,000 in the first half of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009.

Most categories of noninterest expense declined during the second quarter and first half of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009. The most significant decline was in compensation costs, which were $708,000 lower, or 14.9% less than the same quarter one year earlier. For the first six months of 2010, salaries and benefits were 14.7% lower than the first six months of 2009. Salaries and benefits are the Company’s largest single area of expense. Compensation expenses during the first half of 2009 included commissions and other compensation costs of generating income from loan sales and servicing during a time when mortgage activity remained high. In addition, the Company’s cost containment initiatives implemented late in 2009 and in 2010 have further reduced compensation costs in the most recent quarter and in the first six months of 2010.

Occupancy and equipment expenses were down slightly in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009. External data processing costs were also down, reflecting changes made in providers of some specific services for the Bank late in 2009. Advertising and marketing expenses decreased by 4.4% for the quarter and 19.6% for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods last year, as a result of the Company’s cost-containment efforts. Attorney, accounting and other professional fees were up 170.5% for the second quarter of 2010 and 95.9% for the first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods of 2009. While much of the increase represents attorney and appraisal fees related to the Bank’s credit issues, the Company also incurred data processing conversion costs during the most recent quarter relating to the consolidation of the Company’s subsidiary banks.

Expenses related to ORE property continue to make up an increasing portion of the Company’s expenses, and were up 143.9% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same quarter of 2009. For the first six months of 2010, this category of expense was 35.3% higher than for the same period of 2009. Those expenses included write-downs of the value and losses on the sale of property held as ORE, along with costs to maintain and carry those properties. Deterioration in the value of these properties resulted in losses of $421,000 in the second quarter of 2010 and $612,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Assets were written down to their estimated fair value as a result of a decline in prevailing real estate prices and the Bank’s experience with increased foreclosures resulting from the weakened economy.



FDIC insurance costs for the second quarter of 2010 declined by 27.5% compared to the second quarter of 2009, which included a FDIC special assessment for that quarter. FDIC insurance costs for the first six months of 2010 are 5.3% lower than the same periods of 2009, as a result of lower base charges, a decrease in quarter-end deposit balances and the special assessment in 2009. As a result of an evaluation of the value of its goodwill, United took an impairment charge of $3.47 million during the first quarter of 2009. Additional information regarding the goodwill impairment charge is included in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements above.

Federal Income Tax

The Company's effective tax rate was 37.7% for the second quarter of 2010 and 39.2% for the first six months of 2010, compared with 48.3% and 37.4% for the same periods in 2009. The effective tax rates for 2010 and 2009 were a calculated benefit based upon a pre-tax loss. The effective rates were higher than the Company’s expected tax rate as the benefit from tax-exempt income more than offset the portion of goodwill impairment and other expenses that were not deductible for tax purposes.

While the Company had a loss for both book and tax purposes for 2009, the Company had taxable income from 2007 and 2008 that was utilized for the Company’s tax loss in 2009. The Company’s net deferred tax asset was $8.0 million at June 30, 2010. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. Based on the levels of taxable income in prior years and the Company’s expectation of a return to profitability in future years, Management has determined that no valuation allowance was required at June 30, 2010.


Liquidity, Cash Equivalents and Borrowed Funds

The Company maintains correspondent accounts with a number of banks for various purposes. In addition, cash sufficient to meet the operating needs of its banking offices is maintained at its lowest practical levels. At times, the Bank is a participant in the federal funds market, either as a borrower or seller. Federal funds are generally borrowed or sold for one-day periods. At times, the Bank utilizes short-term interest-bearing balances with banks as a substitute for excess federal funds.

The Company’s balances in federal funds sold and other short-term investments were $54.7 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $115.5 million at December 31, 2009 and $55.4 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease in the current quarter resulted from a reduction of funding during the second quarter of 2010, as the Bank reduced its FHLB advances and wholesale funding, and experienced seasonal reductions in public funds deposit balances. Although liquidity levels have declined during the second quarter of 2010, they remain relatively strong during this period of economic uncertainty.



The Company’s funding is primarily provided by deposits and FHLB advances. The Bank also has the ability to utilize short-term advances from the FHLBI and borrowings at the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank as additional short-term funding sources. Short-term advances and discount window borrowings were not utilized during the first six months of 2010 or during 2009.

The Company’s balance sheet includes short-term borrowings of $7.7 million at June 30, 2010. This figure represents the secured borrowing portion of SBA 7a loans held for sale, as a result of implementation of adoption of ASU 2009-16. Those changes result in qualifying loans being carried as loans held for sale, while the sold portion of the loans is carried as secured borrowing for a 90-day period.

The Company periodically finds it advantageous to utilize longer term borrowings from the FHLBI. Theselong-term borrowings serve primarily to provide a balance to some of the interest rate risk inherent in the Company's balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2010, the Bank procured no new advances and repaid $4.2 million in matured borrowings and scheduled principal payments, resulting in a decrease in total FHLBI borrowings outstanding of $10.7 million since December 31, 2009.

Regulatory Capital

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets.

On January 15, 2010, UBT entered into the MOU with the FDIC and OFIR. The MOU is not a “written agreement” for purposes of Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The MOU documents an understanding among UBT, the FDIC and OFIR, that, among other things, (i) UBT will not declare or pay any dividend to the Company without the prior consent of the FDIC and OFIR; and (ii) UBT will have and maintain its Tier 1 capital ratio at a minimum of 9% within six months from the date of the MOU and for the duration of the MOU, and will maintain its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 12% for the duration of the MOU.

The Bank has continued to maintain its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets above the prescribed minimum level of 12%. The Bank did not reach the Tier 1 capital ratio level required to comply with its MOU within the timeframe provided by the Memorandum of Understanding, and management and the Boards of the Company and the Bank are evaluating alternatives to reach and maintain a 9% level.


United is in the process of developing a capital plan and  is actively identifying available alternatives to increase the Company’s capital and bring the Bank’s regulatory capital to the level prescribed in the MOU. Management has engaged an independent consulting firm to help the Bank assess the risk in its loan portfolio, an important step in supporting our capital planning efforts. The Company has consulted with legal counsel regarding capital alternatives and has engaged an investment banking firm to advise the Board of Directors in connection with the company’s strategic planning and consideration of possible strategies to improve the Company’s capital position.

The Company continues to communicate its efforts to the FDIC and OFIR. Management and the Board have not determined at what point it will be able to exceed a 9% Tier 1 capital ratio. Achievement of this ratio could be impacted positively or negatively as a result of certain uncertainties, including, but not limited to, provisions for loan losses, earnings levels, changing economic conditions, asset quality and property values. Failure of the Bank to comply with the terms of its MOU could result in additional regulatory actions against the Bank. These actions could include requiring the Bank to enter into a consent order or other written agreement, subjecting the Bank to a cease and desist order, removal of directors, officers and employees, imposition of civil money penalties, and other regulatory actions. Without additional capital, the Bank could also be forced to curtail operations and reduce its assets and deposits, which could diminish the value of the Bank’s franchise and cause it to be unable to respond to business opportunities. The Board of Directors is committed to the goal of returning the Bank’s capital levels to those prescribed by the MOU.

The following table shows information about the Company's and the Banks’ capital ratios and amounts compared to regulatory requirements at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Effective April 1, 2010, United Bank & Trust – Washtenaw was consolidated and merged with and into United Bank & Trust, and the consolidated bank operates under the charter and name of United Bank & Trust.

Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. The Company's management must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, see “Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page A-22 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Internal Control

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"), and have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or


submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

The following risk factor updates the disclosure of risk factors included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act may adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
 
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), was signed into law by President Obama. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, establishes the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the “BCFP”), and will require the BCFP and other federal agencies to implement many new and significant rules and regulations. At this time, it is difficult to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act or the resulting rules and regulations will impact the Company's and the Bank's business. Compliance with these new laws and regulations will likely result in additional costs, which could be significant and could adversely impact the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Other than as set forth above, there have been no other material changes in the risk factors applicable to the Company from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.


The exhibits filed in response to Item 601 of Regulation S-K are listed in the Exhibit Index, which is here incorporated by reference.
