Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Business
Union Bancshares, Inc. (UBI) is a bank holding company formed in 1982 under the laws of the State of Kansas. In connection with this formation, UBI acquired all of the common stock of Union National Bank of Wichita (UNB) by exchange for UBI Class A common stock on a share for share basis. In 1987, UBI formed Union Boulevard National Bank (UBNB), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to acquire from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation certain assets and liabilities previously owned by Boulevard State Bank. UBNB was merged into UNB in 1989. In April 1990, UBI acquired certain assets and liabilities from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) of the former First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hutchinson. UBI acquired two branch locations in this purchase. One of these branches was closed on January 12, 1991. In November 1990, UBI acquired certain assets and liabilities from the RTC of the former Valley Savings, A Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hutchinson. UBI began operations from two branch locations in this purchase. One branch location was closed on January 12, 1991. The second branch was moved from its initial operational site to a new site on June 30, 1992. On February 16, 1991, UBI acquired from the RTC, certain assets and liabilities of the Derby branch of the former Mid Kansas Savings and Loan, F.A. of Wichita. UBI purchased the Derby branch location from the RTC on June 21, 1991.
At December 31, 1993, UBI had three active, wholly-owned subsidiaries: UNB, UBI Growth Capital, Inc. (UBIGC), a venture capital company, and UBI Financial Services, Inc. (UBIFS), a community development company. In addition, UNB owns all of the outstanding common stock of Union Center, Inc. (UCI), a Kansas corporation formed in 1956 to purchase and operate the building mainly occupied by UNB. At December 31, 1993, UBI and its subsidiaries had 352 FTE (full-time equivalent) employees.
UBI and its subsidiaries are engaged primarily in commercial banking and related activities authorized by the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to be so closely related to the business of banking as to be proper incident thereto. UBI and its subsidiaries, therefore, did not engage in material operations in separate reportable industry segments for the last three years.

Item 1. Business (Continued)
UBI offers a wide range of financial services in the Wichita and Derby, Sedgwick County, and Hutchinson, Reno County, Kansas, areas through UNB, its subsidiary bank. These services include deposit accounts; commercial, installment and real estate loans; trust, investment and escrow services; and a network of automated teller machines. UNB has ten locations and 17 ATMs situated within the city limits of Wichita, Hutchinson, and Derby. UNB is the third largest bank in Wichita and the largest bank in Hutchinson and Derby. In addition, customers may also access UNB services at 479 ATMs throughout the State of Kansas and at over 101,280 ATMs throughout the United States and Canada through UNB participation in Kansas Electronic Transfer Systems, Inc. (KETS), VIA, Cirrus, and Plus ATM switching companies.
UNB faces competition from banks and other financial institutions located in Sedgwick and Reno County, Kansas. There are approximately 87 other financial institutions within the Sedgwick and Reno County areas.
UBI and its subsidiary bank are principally affected by the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other federal banking regulators. UBI, being a bank holding company, is primarily regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank. UNB, being a national bank, is primarily regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency. UNB is also subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation because of deposit insurance. The bank operates under the guidance of its board and officers, implementing policies as to lending practices, interest rates, service charges, and other banking functions. These policies guide the bank in serving the communities in which it operates.
In 1989, Congress enacted the "Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act" (FIRREA), which allowed bank holding companies to acquire savings and loan associations, either in or outside of Kansas. It also allowed the acquisition of savings and loan associations by out-of-state bank holding companies. The FIRREA Act also abolished the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, making the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) the single insurer of deposits for financial institutions. This resulted in higher insurance premium rates, which had a negative impact on noninterest expense of UBI starting in 1991. An analysis of noninterest expense is discussed in greater detail starting on page A-38.
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Item 1. Business (Continued)
Beginning July 1, 1992, bank holding companies located in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma were permitted to acquire banks and bank holding companies located in Kansas after obtaining the approval of the Kansas State Banking Board. No applications can be approved unless the laws of the state, or jurisdiction in which the applicant bank holding company is located, permit Kansas bank holding companies to acquire banks and bank holding companies in that state or jurisdiction on substantially the same terms as established under Kansas law. This has brought greater competition to Kansas and potentially to the communities in which UBI and its subsidiaries operate. There have been several institutions that have made acquisitions in the state, but none in the Wichita area.
UBI and its subsidiaries are evaluating these changes as well as other legislation pending before the federal and state governments which may have an effect on its business. At this time it is difficult to predict what pending proposals might be adopted and what, if any, effect they may have on UBI and its subsidiaries. UBI is currently implementing changes as a result of Regulation DD, Truth in Savings, which UBI believes will add costs beyond the perceived benefits to its customers. The regulatory burden on financial institutions continues without any sign of easing. The regulatory burden has a negative impact on financial institutions' ability to meet customers' needs. UBI is not currently aware of any pending proposals that would have a materially adverse impact on UBI and its subsidiaries.
The principal source of UBI's cash revenues is dividends from UNB. The ability of UNB to pay such cash dividends is limited by federal regulations. Approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if total dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceed the bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained profits for the preceding two years. At December 31, 1993, dividends of approximately $7,839,000 were available from the bank subsidiary without such approval.
Item 2.



Item 2. Properties
UBI uses the main offices of Union National Bank, 200 Union Center Building, 150 North Main, Wichita, Kansas, for its offices. Presently, UBI pays no rental to UNB, although UBI may pay to UNB a fair and reasonable charge for all facilities and services furnished by UNB at such time as UBI requires separate facilities.
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Item 2. Properties (Continued)
The Union Center Building is a 10-story structure which was completed and occupied by UNB in 1956. The building is owned by UNB's subsidiary, UCI. Approximately 81,508 square feet, or 68.0%, of the rentable space in the building is leased by UNB at a monthly rent of $77,760 for 1993. UNB owns two of the thirteen lots comprising the site of the Union Center Building, and leases two others for a term expiring no earlier than the year 2053. UCI owns three of the lots comprising the Union Center Building site, and leases the remaining six lots for terms expiring no earlier than 2047. There are no mortgages or liens outstanding.
UNB owns nine separate bank facilities and the land on which they are located. These are at the following locations in Wichita, Hutchinson and Derby Kansas:
Aggregate annual rental paid during 1993 with respect to all leased real estate to third party lessors amounted to $142,000.
Item 3.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There were no legal proceedings pending during the last fiscal year to which UBI or its subsidiaries was a party, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their business.
Item 4.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No information is required in response to this Item as no matters were submitted to a vote of UBI's security holders during the fourth quarter of 1993.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K
During the last quarter of the period covered by this report, UBI filed two Form 8-K's. The first one was dated October 20, 1993, and was filed under Item 4., "Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountants". This discussed the change from Coopers & Lybrand as UBI's independent accountants to Allen, Gibbs & Houlik effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1993.
The second 8-K dated October 13, 1993 was filed under Item 2., "Acquisition or Disposition of Assets" and discussed the execution of a merger agreement between UBI, UNB and First Community Federal Savings and Loan Association (First Community). This 8-K was later amended with 8-K/A No. 1 filed on December 23, 1993. The amendment changed it from an Item 2., "Acquisition or Disposition of Assets" to an Item 5., "Other Events" because this merger is not expected to be consummated until April of 1994. At that time UBI will file an 8-K with all the required financial and pro forma information.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements in 1993, 1992 and 1991 include UBI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UNB, UBIGC and UBIFS. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In addition, adjustments made to the unaudited interim financial statements were of a normal recurring nature.
The 1992 and 1991 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with 1993 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on net income.
Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under resale agreements. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
Investment and Trading Account Securities
Investment securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Gains or losses on security transactions are recognized upon realization and are reported as a separate component of noninterest income. The specific identification method is used in determining the cost of investment securities sold.
Securities are classified as "Investment Securities" when management has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future. Normal operations do not require the sale of investment securities for liquidity purposes. However, on occasion, UBI may decide to sell investment securities prior to maturity for any of the following reasons: (a) to meet unanticipated short-term liquidity needs, (b) to reposition the maturity structure of the portfolio to meet projected liquidity needs, (c) to reposition the rate cycle structure of the portfolio to meet projected asset/liability requirements, or (d) to reposition the relative portion of tax-exempt securities versus taxable securities in response to projected levels of taxable income. UBI sold investment securities during the years ended December 31, 1993, and 1992, due to all the aforementioned reasons.
Trading account securities are classified as such primarily based on the intent of management at the time the securities are purchased. The securities are held for resale to customers. Trading account securities are stated at market value. Gains or losses on the sale of trading account securities are considered a normal part of operations and are included in other income. -A8-

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Investment and Trading Account Securities (Continued)
Effective January 1, 1994, UBI adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 115 (FAS 115) which relates to accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities. FAS 115 requires that banks classify all securities as "held to maturity", "available for sale" or "trading securities". Any new securities at time of purchase must be placed in one of these three categories for reporting purposes. Any security placed in the "available for sale" or "trading securities" must be marked to its fair value at that time. The fair value adjustment for "available for sale" securities will flow through the equity section on the financial reports. The fair value adjustment for the trading securities will continue to flow through the income statement.
Management of UBI has done an extensive evaluation of all of its securities to determine what securities will be placed in each of these categories. Management has considered several factors to determine these securities classifications including liquidity needs, loan demand, tax issues, credit quality, regulatory issues and asset/liability positioning. Meeting the requirements of FAS 115 is not expected to have a significant effect on either the balance sheet or equity of UBI.
Loans
Loans are stated at principal amount outstanding. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Loans are also placed on nonaccrual status when there is reasonable doubt as to the ability of the borrower to pay interest. At the time a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest previously recorded but not collected is reversed. Interest payments received on such loans are generally recorded as a reduction in book value unless such book value is deemed to be collectible.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses
UBI's policy is to maintain a valuation allowance adequate to provide for potential losses on loans currently outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is determined by management on the basis of a detailed review of the risk factors affecting the loan portfolio, including changes in the portfolio size and mix, past loan loss experience, the financial condition of the borrowers, and the prevailing economic environment. The result of this review enables management to establish the allowance at a level considered adequate to absorb loan losses.
Loan losses are charged to the allowance, and recoveries are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses is made to maintain the allowance at a level that, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Loan Fees
Loan commitment and origination fees, net of the related direct loan origination costs, are amortized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield. The unamortized balance of these deferred fees is reported as a reduction of total loans. Annual fees on bankcard loans are amortized on a straight-line basis over a twelve month period, and the unamortized balance of these fees is included in other liabilities.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in other income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to operating expenses as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. -A10-
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
In January 1993, UBI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". FAS 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in UBI's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, FAS 109 generally takes into consideration all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. Previously, UBI used the Financial Accounting Standards No. 96 asset and liability approach, which gave no recognition to future events other than the recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts. Management has determined that there was no significant financial statement impact to UBI with the implementation of FAS 109.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (FAS 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1992. FAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. FAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of UBI.
The following methods and assumptions were used by UBI in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments as noted in Note 16:
Cash and cash equivalents: The book values reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair values.
Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair value for investment securities is based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. -A11-
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Trading account assets: Fair values for UBI's trading account assets, which also are the amounts recognized in the balance sheet, are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Loans receivable: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate their book value. The fair values for fixed rate mortgage loans (primarily one-to-four family residential), are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for other loans (primarily commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans, agricultural loans, and consumer loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The fair value of credit card loans is estimated to be the book value due to the short-term nature considered to exist in this portfolio. The book value of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposit liabilities: The estimated fair value of noninterest- bearing deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts is equal to their book value, which represents the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The book value for variable rate money market and savings accounts approximates their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar remaining maturities to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Short-term borrowings: The book value of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings approximates their fair values at the reporting date.
FHLB advances: The estimated fair value of variable rate FHLB advances is the balance sheet book value. The estimated fair value of fixed rate advances has been determined using rates currently available to UNB for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities. -A12-

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Long-term borrowings: The fair values of UBI's long-term borrowings (other than deposits) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on UBI's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
2. Mergers and Acquisition
Mid Kansas Savings and Loan Association, F.A., of Wichita
On February 16, 1991, UBI assumed certain liabilities and purchased certain assets of the Derby branch of the failed Mid Kansas Savings and Loan Association, F.A., of Wichita, Kansas, from the RTC. UBI paid a premium of $480,000 which was netted out of the cash paid by the RTC to UBI to balance the difference in liabilities assumed and assets purchased. The amount of deposits assumed was $15,681,000.
This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the premium allocated to the acquired core deposit as well as other intangibles.
First Community Federal Savings and Loan Association, Winfield, Ks.
On October 13, 1993, UBI announced the execution of a merger agreement between UBI, UNB and First Community Federal Savings and Loan Association (First Community) of Winfield, Kansas. Under the merger agreement, First Community will be merged with UNB, and each outstanding share of First Community common stock will be converted into $35.00 in cash. The total cost of the transaction is $12,646,520.
The transaction will be financed with a $6,800,000 loan from Harris Bank and Trust in Chicago and the remaining $5,846,520 from internal funds. The merger was approved by the First Community shareholders in January 1994 but is still subject to final regulatory approval. The transaction is expected to be completed in the spring of 1994. -A13-
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. Mergers and Acquisitions (Continued)
First Community is a savings and loan institution with total assets at December 31, 1993, of $156,382,000, and offers full service banking from three branches. These facilities are located in Winfield, Arkansas City and Derby, Kansas. All three of these offices will be part of the merger and will be operated as branches of UNB.
This acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase, with the premium allocated to various intangible assets.
3. Cash and Due From Banks
Federal Reserve Bank regulations require the subsidiary bank to maintain certain reserve balances relating to deposits. The reserves may be maintained in the form of vault cash or balances maintained with a Federal Reserve Bank. For the two-week reserve period inclusive of December 31, 1993, UNB maintained daily average reserves of $10,553,000. For the two-week reserve period inclusive of December 31, 1992, the daily average reserves maintained were $11,009,000.
4. Investment Securities
The book value and estimated market values of investments in debt securities are as follows (in thousands):
-A14-
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
4. Investment Securities (Continued)
The book value and estimated market value of debt securities, by contractual maturity, are shown below in thousands. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-backed securities have been included in the schedule of maturities based upon their estimated average life.
Proceeds from sales of investments in debt securities were $121,000, $13,447,000 and $40,462,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991 respectively. Gross gains of $21,000, $365,000 and $366,000 and gross losses of $1,000, $6,000 and $154,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991 were realized on those sales respectively. The sales generating these gains and losses were due to adjustments made in the investment portfolio to meet asset/liability management decisions. The decisions were made for various reasons which were all within those noted under Note 1, page A-8, under Investment and Trading Account Securities.
Investment securities with a book value of $41,322,000 and $42,136,000 were pledged to secure deposits of public funds at December 31, 1993, and December 31, 1992, respectively. Total pledgings required at December 31, 1993, and December 31, 1992, were $17,038,000 and $7,910,000, respectively. -A15-

7. Short-term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings of UBI consist of the following (in thousands):
8. FHLB Advances
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances outstanding at December 31, 1993, for UBI are detailed below. The advances provide one of many funding alternatives that are used by UBI in its asset/liability management process for acquiring funds to meet customer loan needs and as a source of funds for other asset/liability strategies. One FHLB advance for $15,000,000 maturing March 23, 1994, is tied to the 1-month floating LIBOR rate minus 20 basis points. All other FHLB advances are at a fixed rate to maturity. Maturities and weighted average rates of the FHLB advances are as follows (in thousands):
9. Long-term Borrowings
At December 31, 1993, and 1992, UBI had a note payable to Harris Bank for $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 respectively at a fixed rate of 8.28% until March 31, 1995. After this date the rate will float at Harris Bank's base rate. The note is collateralized by stock of UNB. Principal payments of $500,000 per quarter began on March 31, 1993, with final payment due on December 31, 1997. Interest is payable quarterly. Proceeds of the note payable were used to pay off short-term borrowings of UBI at Harris Bank and for the purchase of $8,200,000 of stock in UNB. -A17-

9. Long-term Borrowings (Continued)
The note payable agreement with Harris Bank contains a restriction on the amount of dividends that UBI can declare or pay during any one calendar year without the prior written consent of Harris Bank. Dividends declared or paid may not exceed 25% of consolidated net income for the calendar year.
Other restrictions to UBI call for a minimum capital level of $31,500,000 through December 30, 1992, and consolidated nonperforming assets not exceed 3% of consolidated tangible assets. On December 31, 1992, and on the last day of each calendar year thereafter the required minimum capital level will increase by 50% of consolidated net income for the year then ended. Maturities of this note payable are as follows (in thousands):
10. Income Taxes
Applicable income taxes include deferred income taxes arising primarily from differences between financial and tax reporting of the provision for loan losses, depreciation, and loan fees. The consolidated provisions for income taxes applicable to net income are as follows (in thousands):

Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
10. Income Taxes (Continued)
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of revenues, expenses, and tax credits for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Cumulative temporary differences resulted in a net deferred income tax asset of $339,000 at December 31, 1993. The gross deferred tax asset and the gross deferred tax liability are included in other assets and other liabilities respectively in the 1993 Consolidated Statement of Condition. At December 31, 1992, a $514,000 net deferred tax liability is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. Deferred tax liabilities (assets) are comprised of the following (in thousands):
For the years ended December 31, 1992, and 1991, deferred income tax expense (benefit) results from timing differences in the recognition of revenue and expense for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The sources of these differences and the related tax effects are as follows:

11. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
UBI is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
UBI's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. UBI uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 1993, and 1992, include (in thousands):
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. UBI evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by UBI upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment, and income- producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are a conditional commitment issued by UBI to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Credit card lines represent the unused portion of many different customers that have credit card loans.
UBI grants agribusiness, commercial, individual, bankcard, and residential loans to customers throughout the State of Kansas and bankcard loans in the states of Nebraska, Mississippi, and Louisiana. UBI has a diversified loan portfolio, without what it considers undue concentration in any one economic sector. -A20-

12. Dividend Availability
Approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if total dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceed the bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained profits for the preceding two years. At December 31, 1993, dividends of approximately $7,839,000 were available from the bank subsidiary without such approval.
13. Retirement Plan
UBI's bank subsidiary has an employee thrift plan covering substantially all of its employees after one year of service. Contributions are made based on a percentage of each participant's contribution. The total expense for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, amounted to $201,000 ,$184,000, and $176,000 respectively.
14. Net Income per Share
Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of shares was 350,690 in 1993, 350,190 in 1992 and 349,109 in 1991.

Management's Report on Financial Statements and Internal Accounting Control
The financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and statistical data of UBI and subsidiaries contained herein have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles at the direction of management, which has the responsibility for these representations. In preparing the financial information, management makes informed judgments and estimates of the expected effects of events and transactions that are currently being accounted for and is cognizant of the materiality of those events and transactions.
In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the financial statements, management depends on UBI's system of internal accounting control. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that assets are safeguarded. Such a system includes the communication of policies and procedures to appropriate personnel, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel, the assignment of authority and responsibility, the accountability for performance, and a strong program of internal audits. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of a system of internal accounting control should not exceed the benefits expected to be derived and that the evaluation of those factors requires estimates and judgments by management.
Management has confidence that the internal accounting controls currently in place, along with its strong audit programs, provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements presented herein and transactions underlying such statements are in accordance with management's authorization and generally accepted accounting principles. -A28- PAGE

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
For 1993, UBI's net income was $5,192,000, up 20.7% from the $4,300,000 earned in 1992. The earnings for 1993 produced a return on average assets of .97% compared to .79% the prior year. The return on average equity of 13.50% was up from the 12.45% of the preceding year.
The increase in earnings was the result of a higher net interest margin, a lower loan loss provision and lower expenses. The improvement in the net interest margin was the result of liabilities repricing faster than assets in a lowering interest rate environment in 1993. In the fourth quarter the margin leveled out. Management does not see continued improvement in the margin in 1994 as liabilities have appeared to reach a low, while asset rates are still falling. The change in the asset mix of the balance sheet also contributed to the improved margin in 1993. Management anticipates a continued change in the mix of assets during 1994 as more assets are deployed to loans from investments. This should further help the margin in 1994. Overall, management anticipates the net interest margin to be flat in 1994.
The reduction in the loan loss provision was directly related to the lowest net charge-off level (.50% of average loans) since 1982. While management believes its systems for monitoring, reviewing and analyzing credits contributed to this low number, it also believes an improved economic environment assisted in holding this number down. Management believes that this number will continue to remain low in 1994.
Expenses in 1993 were down from 1992 levels, almost to 1991 levels. This resulted from reduced marketing expenditures, data processing expenses, supply costs and other overhead expenses. A change in UBI's advertising agency and marketing programs helped in reducing marketing expenses for 1993. Management anticipates marketing costs to be up in 1994 from new marketing programs being implemented during 1994. Data processing expenses were down in 1993 as the result of reduced data processing projects. This savings was offset somewhat by increased equipment costs from new systems. These systems are reducing supply costs and helping to position UBI for greater expansion of business without major staff additions.
Management anticipates slight increases in other expenses for 1994 as UBI looks to have additional system requirements to meet the demand for products and services of its customers. It also anticipates further pressure on expenses from increased regulatory burdens and the potential for increased employee benefit costs from health care reform. -A29-

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
On October 13, 1993, UBI announced the execution of a merger agreement between UBI, UNB and First Community. Under the merger agreement, First Community will be merged with UNB and each outstanding share of First Community common stock will be converted into $35.00 in cash. The total cost of the transaction is $12,646,520. First Community, with total assets of $156,382,000 at December 31, 1993, offers full service banking from three branches located in Winfield, Arkansas City and Derby, Kansas.
First Community brings new markets and product offerings to UNB. It has a very strong mortgage banking business that UNB can utilize in its Sedgwick and Reno County markets. UNB will be able to take its commercial and consumer products to the markets served by First Community. Management perceives this as a positive benefit to customers of both institutions. Management believes that this will bring increased profitability to UNB through increased markets, increased sales of products and cost savings from operational efficiencies.
In 1992, UBI earned $4,300,000, an increase of 22.8% over the $3,502,000 earned in 1991. This was a .79% return on average assets and a 12.45% return on average equity. This compares to a .63% return on average assets and a 11.59% return on average equity in 1991. The increased earnings in 1992 resulted from a higher net interest margin and some higher noninterest income levels. The net interest margin was up 8.8% in 1992 over 1991 due to increased volumes of earning assets and a change in the mix of assets from investments to loans.
Net income for 1991 of $3,502,000 was up 21.4% over the $2,885,000 in 1990. Return on average assets was .63% in 1991 compared to .59% in 1990. Return on average equity was 11.59% compared to 10.25% in the prior year. An increase in the net interest margin of $21,352,000, or 13.8%, was the major contributor to the increased earnings. There were also some higher levels of noninterest income.
In 1990 and 1991, UBI acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of three failed savings and loan associations in transactions with the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). The liabilities assumed in these transactions consisted mainly of deposits, in particular, certificates of deposit. The assets acquired consisted primarily of performing 1-4 family mortgages. UBI's balance sheet increased by some $170 million from these acquisitions. While the impact to the balance sheet was considered significant, the resulting effect in the initial years to the income statement was not. The effect to the income statement has come over the past three years through the improved net interest margin as identified above and back room operational efficiencies. -A30- PAGE
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The improved margin is the result of repricing of liabilities and the change in the asset mix from investments to loans.
Management anticipates 1994 to be a very competitive year. Margins will continue to flatten causing management to rely on further deployment of investment assets to loan assets to maintain margins. Management will look to increased sales of products and services in 1994 to improve earnings over 1993. They will also continue to look for technological improvements and efficiencies to take on additional volumes at current costs or to reduce costs where applicable.
Management has implemented the new rules on marking to market of securities under FAS 115. It is management's belief that there will not be any major impact to UBI's balance sheet or income statement from this change in accounting procedure. Management is also trying to assess what, if any, effect health care reform may have on earnings in 1994. It cannot be determined at this time what the effect will be, but management believes it will have a negative impact on earnings as costs will most likely increase. Management also has under review various other regulatory issues. It is too early to determine the effect these pending issues might have on UBI and/or its bank subsidiary, UNB.
Management continues to look for acquisition opportunities in South Central Kansas. Management believes growth through acquisition will help provide future shareholder value and assist in meeting competition through cost efficiencies.
The significant elements of income and expense affecting net income are detailed separately and in greater detail in the ensuing analyses. -A31- PAGE

Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the most significant element of UBI's earnings, represents the difference between the interest earned on loans and other investments and the interest incurred for deposits and other sources of funds. For purposes of the analysis below, net interest income is adjusted to convert tax-exempt income to a fully taxable equivalent basis. This adjustment does not affect net income since a statement of income prepared on a taxable equivalent basis includes an offsetting amount in income tax expense.
The following table reflects net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis (1) for the years 1991 to 1993 (in thousands):
On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income for 1993 was $25,115,000, representing an increase over the previous year of $724,000 or 3.0%. The improvement in net interest income was the result of an increase in interest rate spreads and the mix of earning assets. Average loans in 1993 totaled $284,565,000, an increase of $8,332,000, or 3.0%, over the prior year. This increase contributed to the improved margin, in addition to the interest costing liabilities repriced faster in 1993 at lower rates than did interest earning assets.
Interest expense in 1993 decreased by $4,788,000, or 24.5%, from 1992. This decrease was due mainly from lower rates paid on deposits. Average interest costing liabilities were $413,259,000 representing a decrease of $16,481,000, or 3.8%, below 1992. Average time deposits less than $100,000 fell $27,305,000, or 13.9%, in the current year.
In 1992, net interest income increased 8.9% over 1991. This increase was primarily the result of an improvement in the mix of interest earning assets. Lower yielding investments were replaced with higher yielding loans. -A34- PAGE

Analysis of Noninterest Income
Noninterest income in 1993 was $7,904,000, representing a decrease of $19,000, or .2%, under the preceding year. The largest decrease came from the security gains category which decreased $339,000 from 1992. This was due to the 1992 sale of collateralized mortgage obligations discussed in the next paragraph. Increases in service charges and trust fees categories for 1993 helped offset the decreases in noninterest income caused by the security gains category. All other categories remained relatively unchanged.
Noninterest income in 1992 was $7,923,000, representing a decrease of $438,000, or 5.2%, under the preceding year. This decrease resulted primarily from other income. In 1991 and 1990 there were items of income received from the RTC in the settlement of the acquisition transactions of failed savings and loans from the RTC that did not repeat themselves in 1992. Bankcard fees and service charges were also down in 1992 due to changes in customer uses of these services. During 1992, UNB sold collateralized mortgage obligations because of accelerated repayments and small principal sums remaining in certain issues. This accounted for almost all of the investment sales in 1992, and the security gains noted in the table below. The total par value sold represented approximately 6.6% of the entire investment portfolio. All other categories remained relatively unchanged.
Each major category of noninterest income is analyzed in the following table (in thousands):
Analysis of Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense in 1993 totaled $22,163,000, a decrease of $403,000, or 1.8%, under 1992. The largest decrease in noninterest expense occurred in marketing expenses. In 1992 there was extensive media advertising that took place that did not occur in 1993. Several other noninterest expense categories decreased in 1993 due to efforts to control costs in UBI. The largest dollar increase in noninterest expense came from salaries and benefits expenses. The increase of $522,000 was due to normal salary and benefits increases. -A38- PAGE
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Analysis of Noninterest Expense (Continued)
Noninterest expense in 1992 totaled $22,566,000, an increase of $414,000, or 1.9%, over 1991. This increase was significantly less than the increase from 1990 to 1991. There were various increases and decreases in the expense categories resulting in the small 1.9% increase overall. Management continues to look for ways to cut costs.
Each major category of noninterest expense is detailed in the following table (in thousands):

Analysis of Investment Securities (Continued)
It is the initial intent of UBI to hold securities to maturity. It may, from time to time, sell securities for reasons as defined in Note 1, page A-9 (Investment and Trading Account Securities) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Except for total U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agency Obligations, no investment in a single issuer exceeds 10% of stockholders' equity.
State and municipal securities make up approximately 22.3% of the total investment portfolio. UNB's investment policy states that out-of-state municipal securities purchased shall have an A rating or better by either Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating service or be approved by the Investment Committee if municipal securities with less than an A rating are considered. The quality ratings on Kansas municipal bonds shall be left to the investment officer.
At December 31, 1993, $10,443,000, or 24.5%, of the state and municipal securities were nonrated with $6,833,000, or 65.4%, of the nonrated municipal securities being Kansas issues. The majority of the nonrated municipal securities are smaller bond issues that are not rated by Standard & Poors or Moody's but are considered to be of appropriate investment quality and actively traded in a liquid market.

Analysis of Loans
Outstanding loans distinguished by selected categories at December 31 for each of the last five years, their maturities, and interest sensitivity of those loans categories at year-end December 31, 1993, are set forth in the following analyses (in thousands):
-A41 PAGE
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Analysis of Loans (Continued)
UBI has had a significant increase in installment loans starting in 1991 through 1993. UBI has been aggressively pursuing indirect dealer loan business during this period. UBI will continue to emphasize this area of the retail market in the future because of the potential to generate additional loan growth for UBI.
UBI shows a significant increase in mortgage loans in 1990 from prior years. This increase is the result of acquisitions of two failed savings and loans during 1990 from the RTC. Prior to these acquisitions, UBI's bank subsidiary, UNB, began emphasizing home mortgage lending in the latter part of 1988. Prior to that time UNB did not actively promote mortgage loans.
In 1988, when UNB began emphasizing mortgage loans, Sedgwick County, Kansas was defined as the market area. The acquisitions in 1990 expanded the mortgage lending market to Reno County, Kansas with a few loans in counties adjacent to Sedgwick and Reno counties. UNB continues to consider Sedgwick and Reno counties as its primary mortgage loan markets. The majority of these loans are 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 1993, approximately 55% are adjustable rate mortgages with the remaining 45% being fixed rate. -A42- PAGE
Union Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Analysis of Underperforming Assets
UBI continues to place strong emphasis on the close monitoring of underperforming assets. It is UBI's policy to treat as underperforming assets (a) loans that are accounted for on a nonaccrual basis, (b) loans, the terms of which have been renegotiated to provide for a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower, (c) other real estate, and (d) loans which are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.
Underperforming assets at December 31, 1993, were $2,213,000, an increase of $156,000 from $2,057,000 at December 31, 1992. Nonaccrual loans decreased $402,000, while loans 90 days past due increased $530,000 over the prior year. At December 31, 1992, underperforming assets were $544,000 higher than the $1,513,000 reported at December 31, 1991. The increase at December 31, 1992, was not substantial and the level of underperforming assets to total loans and the allowance for loan losses remain at very acceptable levels. The decrease in 1991, was attributable to reduced levels of past due loans and charge-offs of loans classified as underperforming in 1990. All underperforming loans of $100,000 or more are specifically reviewed by management in analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This is discussed further on page A-10 under Allowance for Loan Losses.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is well secured and/or in the process of collection. Loans are also placed on nonaccrual status when there is reasonable doubt as to the ability of the borrower to pay interest or principal. At the time a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest previously recorded but not collected is reversed. Interest payments received on such loans are generally recorded as a reduction in book value unless such book value is deemed to be collectible.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $685,000 at December 31, 1993. If interest on these loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $66,000 in 1993. No interest was recognized on these loans after transferring them to non-accrual status.
Underperforming assets for five-year period ended December 31, 1993, are set forth in the following table (in thousands):
-A43- PAGE

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses
In the normal course of business, banks recognize that a relatively small percentage of the loans they make will eventually be charged off. These future charge-offs are currently provided for through the allowance for loan losses. Additions made to this allowance are charged to operating expenses under the provision for loan losses. Loans are charged against the allowance when they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries are credited directly to the allowance.
The required level for the allowance for loan losses is determined by management on the basis of a detailed review of the risk factors affecting the loan portfolio. In addition to evaluating the financial condition of individual borrowers, management assesses the entire portfolio as to past loan loss experience, volumes, mix and maturity, concentration of credit, prevailing economic conditions, both locally and nationally, and off-balance sheet risk. Management specifically reviews all underperforming assets of $100,000 or more for loan loss adequacy as well as for potential partial or complete charge-off. The results of these reviews along with the other above factors enable management to establish the allowance at a level considered adequate to absorb loan losses.
At December 31, 1993, the allowance for loan losses was $4,400,000, or 1.49%, of outstanding loans. This compares with $3,400,000, or 1.21%, of outstanding loans reported at the end of 1992. The provision for loan losses totaled $2,412,000 in the current year, a decrease of $157,000 from the $2,569,000 reported a year earlier. Net charge-offs during 1993 amounted to $1,412,000, or .50%, of average net loans. This compares with net charge-offs of $2,219,000, or .80%, of average net loans for the preceding year.
Based upon managements detailed review and analysis of the loan portfolio at December 31, 1993, the allowance for loan losses was set at a level of $4,400,000 as managements best estimate of the potential losses which might be present in the loan portfolio at that point in time. Management believes it is important to take a conservative approach in evaluating the risk profile of the company. -A44- PAGE

Analysis of Deposits
Deposits at December 31, 1993, were $433,816,000, representing a decrease of $41,811,000, or 8.8%, below 1992. On average for the year, deposits were $444,364,000, down $31,280,000 over 1992. Most of the decrease in deposits during 1993 occurred in time deposits. This decrease was the result of lower interest rates in 1993 and 1992, which has caused customers to look for alternative investments at higher yields outside the banking industry.
The maturity of time deposits of $100,000 or more is set forth in the following table (in thousands):

Analysis of Capital Resources
Stockholders' equity increased $4,596,000, or 12.7%, to $40,816,000 at December 31, 1993, from the $36,220,000 reported at December 31, 1992. The ratio of equity capital to total assets was 7.7 % at December 31, 1993, compared to 6.6% for the same period in 1992. This increase was the result of reinvested earnings, which amounted to $4,596,000, or 88.5%, of net income compared with $3,705,000, or 86.2%, of net income a year earlier. The dividend payout ratio of 11.5% is consistent with UBI's policy of maintaining an appropriate balance between earnings returned to stockholders in the form of dividends and earnings retained to provide internal capital growth.
Risk-based capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), UBI's primary regulator, started in 1991. These guidelines began phase in on January 1, 1991, with final implementation on December 31, 1992. Under these guidelines, the FRB will monitor three ratios for capital levels. They are Tier I capital, Tier II capital and a Leverage ratio. Currently the FRB is requiring a minimum Tier I capital guideline of 4.00%, a Tier II capital guideline of 8.00%, and a Leverage ratio of 3.00%. At December 31, 1993, UBI had a 11.8% Tier I capital ratio, a 13.1% Tier II capital ratio, and a 7.4% Leverage ratio. All of UBI's capital ratios are above the regulatory guidelines and placed UBI in the "well capitalized" category currently defined by regulators. Well capitalized institutions are defined as those institutions having a Tier I capital level of 6.0%, a Tier II capital level of 10.0% and a Leverage ratio of 5.0%. This is the highest capital level category defined by regulators.

Analysis of Liquidity
Liquidity for UBI's bank subsidiary, UNB, is represented by UNB's ability to generate a continuing stream of funds to satisfy its financial needs and the credit and deposit demands of its customers. Liquidity and interest sensitivity are managed in a coordinated asset/liability management program within the bank.
Asset liquidity is derived from loan repayments and scheduled maturities of loans and other assets, primarily investment securities. At December 31, 1993, loan repayments and scheduled loan maturities within one year or less totaled $86,142,000. At December 31, 1993, investment securities, federal funds sold, FHLB overnight deposits, securities purchased under resale agreements and other investments, all of which are maturing within one year or less, totaled $54,761,000. These short-term investment funds equaled 11.3% of aggregate interest-earning assets. This liquidity provides UNB with a substantial capacity to fund customers' new credit demands, internal financial needs, deposit payouts and to take advantage of other attractive market conditions as they arise.
On the liability side, the most significant sources of liquidity for UNB consist of customers' new savings and time deposits under $100,000 and the renewal of customers' maturing deposits. Other sources of liquidity include customers' certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, FHLB advances, and the purchase of federal funds and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
UBI relies on dividends and tax benefit payments from its subsidiaries and borrowings from unaffiliated banks to generate cash flow. Federal regulations restrict the payment of dividends by national banks by requiring approval of the Comptroller of the Currency if total dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceed the bank's net profits for that year combined with its retained profits for the preceding two years. At December 31, 1993, dividends of approximately $7,839,000 were available from the bank subsidiary without such approval. UBI also has available for cash flow needs a $1,000,000 line of credit with Harris Bank and Trust Company of Chicago. As of December 31, 1993, the line of credit had a $0 balance.
Analysis of Interest Sensitivity
Interest sensitivity is the cornerstone of UBI's asset/liability margin management system. Key asset and liability decisions are reviewed in the framework of this system with the objective of optimizing long-term profitability at an acceptable level of risk. -A49- PAGE
