                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                   ------------------------------------------


Note 1 -  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and,
          therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by
          generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
          statements. The interim financial statements have been prepared
          utilizing the interim basis of reporting and, as such, reflect all
          adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
          fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The
          results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
          indicative of the results for the full year.

Note 2 -  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

Note 3 -  Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
          shares of common stock outstanding as adjusted retroactively to
          reflect shares issued in connection with stock dividends. The
          computation includes the effect of average common equivalent shares
          attributable to stock options and/or stock warrants only if such
          effect is dilutive. The computation includes the effect of the
          dividend accrued on the Company's redeemable preferred stock which
          totaled $27,250 for the first three months ended March 31, 1997 and $-
          0- for the same period ended March 31, 1996.

Note 4 -  Forward looking statements. This discussion contains forward looking
          statements, including statements of goals, intentions and expectations
          as to future trends, plans, or results of Company operations and
          policies and regarding general economic conditions. These statements
          are based upon current and anticipated economic conditions, nationally
          and in the Company's market, interest rates and interest rate policy,
          competitive factors and other conditions which, by their nature, are
          not susceptible to accurate forecast, and are subject to significant
          uncertainty. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on
          which this discussion and the forward looking statements are based,
          actual future operations and results may differ materially from those
          indicated herein.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

A. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997, as Compared
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   to the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
   ----------------------------------------

General
-------
   The following discussion provides an overview of the financial condition and
results of operations of United Financial Banking Companies, Inc. (UFBC) and its
subsidiaries, which is presented on a consolidated basis.  UFBC reported a net
loss of $46,092 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.  This compares
with a loss of $200,641 for the same period of 1996.  Earnings (loss) per share
were ($.03) for the first three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to ($.07)
for the first three months of 1996.

   During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, UFBC's primary
subsidiary, The Business Bank (the Bank), increased the Company's earning asset
base.  As of March 31, 1997, average total earning assets increased $5,323,000
or 16.6% when compared to the comparable period of March 31, 1996 (Consolidated
Average Balances table).  The increase has favorably contributed to the
Company's earnings. However, the Company's real estate owned (REO) which are
nonearning assets, and related holding costs continue to hinder the Company's
profitability.  At March 31, 1997, REO was $3,161,000 or 7.0% of the Company's
total assets (Consolidated Balance Sheets).  Management continues to focus on
REO liquidation and as of March 31, 1997 had REO contracts (both firm and
pending) totaling approximately $1,262,000. Although there can be no assurance
of settlement, management anticipates that these contracts will close and settle
during the second or third quarter of 1997.

Net Interest Income
-------------------
   For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, net interest income
increased $94,000 or 32.1% from $292,000 at March 31, 1996 to $386,000 at March
31, 1997.  The increase is primarily attributable to the increased loan volume
in the Bank.  As shown in the Consolidated Average Balances table, the average
total loan/lease volume increased $6,556,000 or 27.0% from $24,253,000 at March
31, 1996 to $30,808,000 at March 31, 1997.  Due to the increased loan volume,
interest and fees on loans rose $502,000 or 38.6% as of the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the comparable period of 1996 which
favorably impacted net interest income.

   For the same comparable period, interest income earned on federal funds sold
declined $29,000 or 37.0% (Consolidated Statements of Income).  The drop
resulted from a substantial change in the investment mix, such as loans,
securities or federal funds, chosen by management during the comparable periods.
Interest earned on investment securities increased $18,000 or 97.1%.  The
investment mix and higher yielding securities  (Consolidated Average Balances
table) contributed to the rise.

   Interest expense on deposits decreased $13,000 or 3.6% at March 31, 1997 when
compared to the period ended March 31, 1996.  The decline reflects management's
continuing efforts to alter the Bank's deposit mix towards more core deposits.
As the Bank becomes less dependent on volatile certificates of deposits over
$100,000, management has had more freedom to restructure or reduce the rates
paid on interest-bearing deposits.

Provision for Loan/Lease Losses
-------------------------------
    During the first three months of 1997, the Bank replenished its allowance by
charging $20,000 against earnings compared to $72,942 charged against earnings
during the first three months of 1996.  The parent company, UFBC, replenished
its allowance $11,000 during in the first three months of 1997.

                                       7

Short-term Borrowings
---------------------
   The Company had no expense for borrowings during the first quarter ended
March 31, 1997. Borrowing expense during the first quarter ended March 31, 1996,
shown net of $74,000 of capitalized interest,  was incurred as the result of
financing for the Company's North Ocean City project.  Except for one unit which
is under contract, the North Ocean City project has concluded activities.  All
borrowings were either repaid in full or converted to redeemable preferred stock
- series A during the year ended December 31, 1996.

Noninterest Income
------------------
   Total noninterest income increased $21,000 or 79.1% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 compared to the comparable period of 1996.  The rise is
primarily attributable to increased collection of service fees on deposits
during the first three months of 1997 when compared to the first three months of
1996.  The loss incurred on the sale of REO during the first quarter ended March
31, 1996 also contributed to the variance between the two periods.

Noninterest Expense
-------------------
   Total noninterest expense was equal for the first three months of 1997 when
compared to the same period of 1996.  The consistency between the two periods
is due principally to the Company's restructuring and management's continuing
efforts to curtail expenses even as the Company continues to grow.  The
Company's restructuring also explains the $18,000 or 10.3% decrease in salary
expense during the three month period ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the
comparable period ended March 31, 1996.

   For the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable
period of 1995, occupancy expense increased $46,000 or 142.5% due to the rental
expense incurred on the space leased for the Bank.  The cessation of
depreciation expense associated with ownership of the Bank building serves to
partially offset the increased expense and also contributed to the $22,000 or
18.3% decline in other expense.  The cessation of a consulting arrangement with
the Company also contributed to the drop in other expense during the first
quarter ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the first quarter ended March 31,
1996.
 
   Legal expense declined $14,000 or 81.4% during the first three months of
1997.  The decline is principally attributable to significantly reduced
litigation expense in the parent during the first three months of 1997.  During
the first three months of 1996, the parent, as plaintiff, incurred substantial
litigation expense associated with the subsidiary, Omni Homes, Inc.

Income Taxes
------------
   In 1993, the rate that UFBC accrued its tax benefit differed from the
statutory tax rate based on the inability of UFBC to use its losses to reduce
deferred taxes or to record a tax benefit.   At the end of 1993, all of UFBC's
accrued tax benefits were eliminated due to UFBC's inability to demonstrate
capacity for their future use.  As a result, until such time that UFBC
demonstrates a capacity for their future use, UFBC will not be able to accrue
tax benefits.  UFBC has accrued no tax benefits for the three months ended March
31, 1997.

B.   Financial Condition as of March 31, 1997
     ----------------------------------------

Assets
------
   Total assets grew $3,366,000 or 8.1% during the first three months of 1997
when compared to the period ended December 31, 1996.  The rise in assets is
primarily attributable to the Bank's increased volume of federal funds which
resulted from increased deposits.  Net loans and lease financing increased
$211,000 or .07% to $30,245,00 at March 31, 1997 from $30,034,000 at December
31, 1996.

Allowance for Loan/Lease Losses
-------------------------------

   The allowance for loan/lease losses (allowance) represents an amount which
management believe will be adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the
loan/lease portfolio.  The provision for loan losses represents the charge to
earnings during the year to cover potential future losses.  The amount charged
to expense during the year is dependent upon management's assessment of the
adequacy of the allowance. Principal factors in management's evaluation include
prior loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio,
overall portfolio quality, the value of underlying collateral, reviews of
portfolio quality by state and federal supervisory authorities, specific problem
loans, and current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect a
borrower's ability to repay.

   At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the allowance was $567,000 and
$584,000 or 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively, of total loans and leases.
Nonperforming loans for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 totaled
$114,000, of which $39,000 resided in the Bank and $75,000 in the parent.  This
compares to a balance of $328,000 at December 31, 1996, of which $308,000
resided in the Bank and $20,000 resided in the parent.  The consolidated
allowance for loan/lease losses covers nonperforming loans 4.97 times at March
31, 1997, compared to a coverage of 1.78 times at year end 1996.

Real Estate Owned and Other Assets
----------------------------------

   REO increased $46,000 or 1.5% during the three month period ended March 31,
1997.  The increase is due to a foreclosure upon one residential property by the
Bank which was partially offset by the sale one lot also owned by the Bank.  At
December 31, 1996, other assets included proceeds in transit for the sale of a
piece of property.  The Company received the proceeds in January 1997 and
explains the $143,000 or 30.9% decrease in other assets during the first three
months of 1997.

Liabilities
-----------

   Total deposits increased $3,003,000 or 7.8% during the first three months of
1997 when compared to the year ended 1996.  During the three months ended March
31, 1997, the deposit mix changed as money market accounts rose $1,602,000 or
40.3% from $3,970,000 at December 31, 1996 to $5,572,000 at March 31, 1997.  The
change is part of management's continuing plan to increase core deposits to
provide an adequate base for the Bank's growth.

Liquidity and Investment
------------------------

   Since January 1994, operational expenses of UFBC have been provided primarily
by liquidation of assets.  UFBC's working capital is significantly limited by
the inability to receive dividends from the Bank subsidiary, which has been
operating at a loss.  Accordingly, UFBC's ability to meet its short-term
obligations continues to depend on the liquidation of REO and loan payments of
approximately $21,000 per quarter.

   Consolidated average liquid assets were 15.5% of average total assets at
March 31, 1997 compared to 17.7% for the same period ended March 31, 1996 and
15.0% at December 31, 1996 (Consolidated Average Balances table).  The Company's
liquidity needs exist primarily in the Bank subsidiary.  In order to maintain
adequate liquidity, the Bank purchases certain traditional assets such as
government and other investment securities. The Bank's securities portfolio
comprises U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government agency securities and
interest-bearing deposits placed with financial institutions.  The Bank is
strategically growing its securities portfolio to ensure safe levels of
liquidity, to enhance the overall credit quality of its asset base and to
generate increased interest income.  The securities portfolio includes both
instruments available-for-sale and those held-to-maturity.  Securities
classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in market
interest rates, changes in prepayment or extension risk, management of the
federal tax position, liquidity needs and other asset/liability management
issues.  Securities classified as held-to-maturity are intended for investment
purposes.

the Company's redeemable preferred stock, at September 30, 2001, is projected to

Regulatory Agreements and Compliance
------------------------------------

 On August 12, 1993, the Business Bank (Bank), UFBC's main subsidiary, consented
to the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order (Order) by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and by the Virginia Commissioner of Financial
Institutions.  On December 31, 1993, UFBC entered into a written agreement
(Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Commissioner of
Financial Institutions, Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.  The Order and the Agreement address various areas of operation in the
Company, most specifically the Bank, and required the Board of Directors and
management to complete and to perform several specific directives.  The Order
and the Agreement also include provisions to monitor the Company's progress
toward profitability.  As of March 31, 1997, management believes that the
Company is in compliance with all terms and provisions of the Order and the
Agreement.

Capital Requirements
--------------------

 The Federal Reserve Board issued risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding
companies.  The guidelines initially defined a two-tier capital framework.  Tier
I Capital consists of common and qualifying preferred shareholders' equity less
intangible assets.  Tier II Capital consists of mandatory convertible,
subordinated and other qualifying debt, preferred stock not qualifying as Tier I
Capital and the reserve for loan losses up to 1.25 percent of risk-weighted
assets.  Under these guidelines, one of four risk weights is applied to the
different on-balance sheet assets.  Off-balance sheet items such as loan
commitments are also applied a risk weight after conversion to balance sheet
equivalent amounts.  Tier I and Tier II Capital require a minimum ratio of 4.0%
and 8.0%, respectively.  The Federal Reserve issued another guideline, a minimum
Leverage ratio, which measures the ratio of Tier I capital to quarterly average
assets less intangible assets.  A Leverage ratio of 3.0% must be maintained for
highly rated banks.  Otherwise, the minimum leverage ratio, based upon the
institution's overall financial condition, must be at least 100 to 200 basis
points above the minimum.  These guidelines were also adopted by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and therefore applies to the Company's banking
subsidiary.  Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board requires bank holding
companies to meet a minimum ratio of qualifying Total (combined Tier I and Tier
II) capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, at least half of which must be
composed of core (Tier I) capital elements.  The following table presents the
Company and the Bank's capital position and related ratios as of March 31, 1997
and 1996.
