                              UNITED BANCORP, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1: 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, 2008, 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, 2007 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. Except for the adoption of EITF 06-4, as described in "Recent
     Accounting Pronouncements," the Company has consistently followed these
     policies in preparing this Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the
     three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.

PRINCIPLES OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United
     Bancorp, Inc. ("United" or "the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
     The Citizens Savings Bank of Martins Ferry, Ohio ("the Bank" or
     "Citizens"). For periods prior to July 1, 2007, the consolidated financial
     statements include the Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries,
     Citizens and The Community Bank. Effective July 1, 2007, the Company
     merged, The Community Bank into The Citizens Savings Bank and now operates
     that market area as The Community Bank, a division of The Citizens Savings
     Bank and operates The Citizens Bank, a division of The Citizens Savings
     Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

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, east-central and southeastern Ohio, and include
     a wide range of individuals, businesses and other organizations. The
     Citizens Bank division 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. The Community Bank division 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 and are not
     considered "sub prime" type loans. 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.


                                                                               8

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

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.

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 Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("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.

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,
     2008, the ESOP held 307,274 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.

               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

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.

     The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with SFAS No.
     123(R), "Share-Based Payment," which requires that the cost related to the
     fair value of grants of stock options be recognized in the financial
     statements.

     The compensation cost recorded for unvested equity-based awards is based on
     their grant-date fair value. For the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and
     2007, the Company recorded approximately $3,000 and $10,000, respectively,
     in compensation costs for stock option awards that vested in each period.
     The Company has approximately $92,000 of total unrecognized compensation
     expense related to non-vested equity-based awards granted under it stock
     incentive plan as of March 31, 2008, which is expected to be recognized
     over a remaining weighted-average period of 6.9 years.

     No stock options were granted during the three month periods ended March
     31, 2008 and 2007.

     There are no remaining options available for grant under the Company's 1996
     plan as of March 31, 2008. A summary of the status of the Company's stock
     option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is presented

               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

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 statute 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 2004.

     The Company will recognize, if applicable, interest accrued related to
     unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating
     expenses.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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
     Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, as required,
     without material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
     operations.


                                                                              12

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

     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 adopted Issue 06-4 effective
     January 1, 2008, as required. The Company recorded a liability and a
     corresponding charge to retained earnings totaling $1.0 million to
     recognize the commitment obligation under its split-dollar life insurance
     policies. The Company will recognize expense in 2008 totaling approximately
     $133,000 for these policies.

     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. The Company adopted SFAS No.
     159 effective January 1, 2008, as required, without material effect on the
     Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business
     Combinations," which replaces SFAS No. 141. The Statement applies to all
     transactions or other events in which one entity obtains control of one or
     more businesses. It requires all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and
     any noncontrolling interest to be measured at fair value at the acquisition
     date. The Statement requires certain costs such as acquisition-related
     costs that were previously recognized as a component of the purchase price,
     and expected restructuring costs that were previously recognized as an
     assumed liability, to be recognized separately from the acquisition as an
     expense when incurred.

     SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which
     the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
     reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be
     applied before that date.

     Concurrent with SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), the FASB recently issued SFAS
     No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
     Amendment of ARB 51." SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting
     and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (formerly known as
     minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
     subsidiary. A subsidiary, as defined by SFAS No. 160, includes a variable
     interest entity that is consolidated by a primary beneficiary.


                                                                              13

               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

     A noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, previously reported in the
     statement of financial position as a liability or in the mezzanine section
     outside of permanent equity, will be included within consolidated equity as
     a separate line item upon the adoption of SFAS No. 160. Further,
     consolidated net income will be reported at amounts that include both the
     parent (or primary beneficiary) and the noncontrolling interest with
     separate disclosure on the face of the consolidated statement of income of
     the amounts attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.

     SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within
     those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

     Impaired loans totaled $4.4 million and $3.4 million at March 31, 2008 and
     December 31, 2007, respectively. An allowance for loan losses of $670,000
     and $673,000 relates to impaired loans of $3.0 million and $2.3 million, at
     March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008 and
     December 31, 2007, impaired loans of $1.4 million and $1.1 million,
     respectively, had no related allowance for loan losses.

     Interest income of $10,000 and $500 was recognized on average impaired
     loans of $3.9 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
     2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest income was recognized on impaired
     loans on a cash basis for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,

     During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded expense
     of approximately $28,000 as certain participants in the Company's defined
     benefit plan were paid lump sum distributions from the plan. During 2008 it
     is anticipated that Company will incur approximately $231,000 of additional
     settlement accounting expense under the provisions of SFAS No. 88.

NOTE 4: 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:

NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

     Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value
     Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
     measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
     SFAS No. 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the
     period.

     SFAS No. 157 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. SFAS No. 157 also establishes
     a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of
     observable inputs and minimize the 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 valuation methodologies used for
     instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in
     the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of
     such instruments pursuant to 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. Level 1
     securities include highly liquid government agency bonds and
     mortgage-backed securities. 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 certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and
     certain municipal securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2
     inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the
     hierarchy and include other less liquid securities.


                                                                              16

            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,
2008, as compared to December 31, 2007, and the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. 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 Bank's market areas, changes in policies by
regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the
Bank's 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 financial condition,
results of operations, 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
the Bank's trend in delinquencies and loan losses, and economic factors.


                                                                              18

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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, 2008, gross loans were $233.9 million, compared to $234.6 million
at year-end 2007, a decrease of $779,000, or 0.3%. The decrease in total
outstanding loans was the result of a decrease in the installment portfolio.
Management attributes the decrease in loans to the sluggish loan demand in the
markets served.

Installment loans represented 17.0% of total loans at March 31, 2008, and 17.5%
at December 31, 2007. 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 57.9% of total loans at
March 31, 2008 compared to 57.3% at December 31, 2007. Commercial and commercial
real estate loans have increased $1.0 million, or 0.8% since December 31, 2007.
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 24.8% of total loans at March 31, 2008 and 24.9% at
year-end 2007. Real estate loans decreased by 0.7%, or $421,000, since December
31, 2007. Real estate lending for the three months of 2008 has been slow with
respect to the Company's adjustable-rate mortgage products. As of March 31,
2008, the Bank has approximately $37.3 million in fixed-rate loans that it
services for a fee that is typically 25 basis points. At March 31, 2008, the
Company did not hold any loans for sale.

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, 2008 were
approximately $75,000, or 3.1%, of the beginning balance in the allowance for
loan losses.


                                                                              19

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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, 2008
decreased approximately $6.4 million, or 3.9%, from year-end 2007 totals. With
the overall decreasing interest rate environment the Company has experienced a
high level of called bond activity during the first quarter of 2008. While the
Company has plans to reinvest these funds in other available-for-sale
securities, there is lag between the time when bonds are called and the right
investment opportunity is available to the Company.

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, 2008, total core deposits increased
approximately $3.3 million, or 1.1%. The Company's interest-bearing demand
deposits increased $3.6 million, or 2.9%, noninterest-bearing demand deposits
decreased $1.5 million, or 6.6%, while certificates of deposit under $100,000
increased by $394,000, or 0.3%. As part of a strategic focus to grow deposits
the Bank has 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, 2008, certificates of deposit greater than $100,000
increased $1.5 million, or 3.8%, from year-end 2007 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 2008, 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 2008, total
borrowings, including federal funds purchased, decreased approximately $10.2
million, or 13.0% from year-end 2007 totals.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007

NET INCOME

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008
totaled $0.20, compared with $0.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an
increase of 25.0%. In dollars, the Company's net income was $903,000, an
increase of $185,000, or 25.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
compared to the same quarter in 2007.

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 increased 19.4%, or $572,000, for the three months ended March
31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to the effects of
decreasing interest rates in the economy, which resulted in a lower cost of
funds during the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, the Company's net interest margin increased 66 basis
points over the same period in 2007. Interest income and fees on
interest-earning assets decreased 29 basis points from 6.85% for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 to 6.56% for the same period in 2008. However, the
Company's cost of funds decreased 95 basis points from 3.65% for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 to 2.70% for the same period in 2008.

Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $6.7
million, an increase of $234,000, or 3.6%, compared to $6.4 million for the same
period in 2007. The increase can be attributed primarily to the overall higher
yield of the securities portfolio.

Total interest expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008, a decrease of 9.7%, or $338,000, compared to the three-month period ended
March 31, 2007. A majority of the Company's cost of funds is tied to the short
end of the yield curve and with the short-term rates decreasing dramatically in
the past nine months, the Company's cost of funds has decreased.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses was $168,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared to $183,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease in loan
loss provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, was primarily
due to decreased net charge-offs period to period.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income is made up of bank related fees and service charges, as
well as other income producing services provided, sales 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, 2008 was $756,000, an
increase of $88,000, or 13.2%, compared to $668,000 for the same three-month
period ended March 31, 2007. During the three-months ended March 31, 2008, the
increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by increase of $93,000, or
23.4%, related to customer service fees on deposit accounts.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
an increase of $367,000, or 14.1%, over the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Salaries and employee benefit expense increased approximately $59,000, or 4.2%,
for the period ended March 31, 2008 over the same period in 2007. This increase
was primarily due to normal merit increases. Professional fees increased $51,000
for the first quarter of 2008 over the same period in 2007. Legal fees for loan
collection efforts increased approximately $26,000 for the first quarter of
2008. It is anticipated this trend will continue for the remainder of 2008.
Other noninterest expense increased $191,000 for the period ended March 31, 2008
over the same period in 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company
increased the provision for losses on non performing assets by $155,000 over the
same period in 2007. This provision related to a specific other real estate
owned property which has a pending sales contract. This sale is expected to
close during the second quarter of 2008.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The provision for federal income taxes was $225,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, an increase of $123,000, or 120.6%, over the same period in
2007. The increase was due primarily to the increase in pretax income of
$308,000, or 37.6%. The effective tax rate was 19.9% and 12.4% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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, 2008, totaled $34.2 million compared to $33.9 million at December 31, 2007,
a $289,000 increase. The increase was due primarily to net income of $903,000
and an increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of
$894,000, which were partially offset by dividends paid of $649,000, a $1.0
million charge to retained earnings from the adoption of EITF 06-4 and purchases
of treasury stock of $57,000. Total shareholders' equity in relation to total
assets was 7.6% at March 31, 2008 and 7.5% at December 31, 2007. 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 bank holding company. The Bank is 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.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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 income, 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. 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, certain impaired loans and certain other real estate and
loans that may be 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.

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, 2007.

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, 2008, in timely alerting
them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated
subsidiary) 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, 2008 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.

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 January 31, 2008, the Company purchased a total of 14,435 common shares for
participant accounts for the aggregate purchase price of $102,458. 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.
