Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

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 June 30, 2009, and its results of operations and cash flows for the six and 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, 2008 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. The results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

Principles of 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”). The Company operates in two divisions, The Community Bank, a division of The Citizens Savings Bank and The Citizens Bank, a division of The Citizens Savings Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

On September 19, 2008, Citizens acquired from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) the deposits of three banking offices of a failed institution in Belmont County, Ohio. Deposits acquired totaled approximately $39.3 million. These acquired deposits included approximately $9.0 million of brokered deposits that were originated by the prior financial institution. Immediately after the acquisition, the Company lowered the interest rates on these brokered deposits and, as anticipated, these deposit accounts were closed by December 31, 2008.

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, Jefferson, 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 twelve branches in Bridgeport, Colerain, Dellroy, Dillonvale, Dover, Jewett, New Philadelphia, St. Clairsville East, Saint Clairsville West, Sherrodsville, Strasburg, and Tiltonsville, Ohio. The Community Bank division conducts its business through its main office in Lancaster, Ohio and seven 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.

United Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

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.

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.

Securities

Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in other comprehensive income.

Held-to-maturity securities, which include any security for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific-identification method.

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.

United Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

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 period, less shares in the ESOP which are unallocated and not committed to be released. At June 30, 2009, the ESOP held 283,635 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 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Options to purchase 55,529 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $10.34 per share were outstanding at June 30, 2009, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 55,529 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $10.34 per share were outstanding at June 30, 2008, but 29,040 options to purchase common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Income Taxes

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 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. Management adopted SFAS No. 141(R) effective January 1, 2009, as required, without material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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.

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. Management adopted SFAS No. 160 effective January 1, 2009, as required, without material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

United Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

In April 2009, the FASB issued three new FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) to address: (1) determining whether a market is not active and a transaction is not orderly, (2) recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments and (3) interim disclosures of fair value of financial instruments, as follows:

FSP 157-4 “Determining When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” addresses the criteria to be used in the determination of an active market in determining whether observable transactions are Level 1 or Level 2 under the framework established by FAS 157. The FSP reiterates fair value is based on the notion of exit price in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the valuation date. The FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP 157-4 as of June 30, 2009, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and results of operations.

FSP 115-2 and 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” addresses the FASB conclusion that changes were necessary to the process for determining whether impairment on debt securities is other-than-temporary. The FSP replaces the requirement that an entity’s management must assert it has both the intent and the ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert:

It does not have the intent to sell the security; and

It is more-likely-than-not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit losses

If those two assertions are true, only the portion of the impairment due to credit loss is recorded in income. Other portions of the impairment (any portions not related to credit loss) are recorded in other comprehensive income. Credit loss is defined in the FSP as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, the entire amortized cost basis of the security will not be recovered (that is, a credit loss exists) and an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred and the portion of the loss attributable to the credit loss is recorded in net income. The FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP 115-2 and 124-2 as of June 30, 2009, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and results of operations.

FSB 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures About Fair Values of Financial Instruments”, requires publicly traded companies to include disclosures about fair value in interim financial statements for all financial instruments within the scope of FAS 107. The specific disclosures required include the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, as well as changes in those methods and assumptions, and the carrying values of those instruments. The disclosures must clearly identify how the carrying value reported in the disclosures relates to what is reported in the statement of financial position. The FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 as of June 30, 2009, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position and results of operation.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, to incorporate the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events into U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 165 introduces new terminology, defines a date through which management must evaluate subsequent events, and lists the circumstances under which an entity must recognize and disclose events or transactions occurring after the balance-sheet date. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 as of June 30, 2009, which was the required effective date.

The Company evaluated its June 30, 2009 financial statements for subsequent events through August 13, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets: an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. SFAS No. 166 changes the derecognition guidance for transferors of financial assets, including entities that sponsor securitizations, to align that guidance with the original intent of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 166 also eliminates the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities (QSPEs). As a result, all existing QSPEs need to be evaluated to determine whether the QSPE should be consolidated in accordance with SFAS No. 166.

SFAS No. 166 is effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 as to the Company), for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 166 must be applied to transfers that occur on or after the effective date. Early application is prohibited. SFAS No. 166 also requires additional disclosures about transfers of financial assets that occur both before and after the effective date. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 166 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, to improve how enterprises account for and disclose their involvement with variable interest entities (VIE’s), which are special-purpose entities, and other entities whose equity at risk is insufficient or lack certain characteristics. Among other things, SFAS No. 167 changes how an entity determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) and whether that VIE should be consolidated. SFAS No. 167 requires an entity to provide significantly more disclosures about its involvement with VIEs. As a result, the Company must comprehensively review its involvements with VIEs and potential VIEs, including entities previous considered to be qualifying special purpose entities, to determine the effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009 (January 1, 2010 as to the Company) and for interim periods within the first annual reporting period. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 167 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

U.S. Government Agencies

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were primarily caused by changes in interest rates. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.

Mortgage-backed Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities were primarily caused by changes in interest rates. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.

State and Political Subdivisions

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities of state and political subdivisions were primarily caused by changes in interest rates. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.

The Company’s impaired loans totaled $6.1 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company reviews each impaired loan to determine whether a specific allowance for loan losses is necessary. Based upon this review, an allowance for loan losses of $1.7 million and $1.5 million relates to impaired loans of $4.1 million and $5.5 million, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. At both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, impaired loans of $2.0 million had no related allowance for loan losses.

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.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

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 consolidated 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. The Company has no available for-sale-securities classified as Level 1 of the hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company generally relies on prices obtained from independent pricing services or brokers. Securities measured with this valuation technique are generally classified as Level 2 of the hierarchy, and their fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows using significant inputs observable in the market. Examples of Level 2 securities include U.S. government agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities, state and political subdivision bonds, and equity securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Company has no securities classified as Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans consisted primarily of loans secured by nonresidential real estate. Management has determined fair value measurements on impaired loans primarily through evaluations of appraisals performed. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value (based on current appraised value) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management has determined fair value measurements on other real estate owned primarily through evaluations of appraisals performed, and current and past offers for the other real estate under evaluation. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

United Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Certificates of Deposit in other Financial Institutions

The fair value of certificates of deposit in other financial institutions is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar certificates could be acquired from financial institutions with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Certificates with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

Held-to-maturity Securities

Fair values equal quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.

Deposits

Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Borrowings, Interest Payable and Advances From Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Fair values of commitments were not material at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations

The following discusses the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008, and the results of operations for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. 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.

Introduction

The Company's net interest margin of 4.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, generated an increase of approximately $192,000 in net interest income over the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily driven by a reduction in the Company's interest expense as interest rates remain at historical low levels. Overall, the composition of the Company's balance sheet has changed during the past 12 months due to the September 2008 acquisition of approximately $30 million of net deposits from a failed bank. In addition with interest rates at historical low levels the Company has also experienced a high volume of called investment securities since December 31, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company experienced a net $23.0 million in called investment securities. With these two items, as of June 30, 2009, the Company had liquidity of over $51.0 million being maintained in lower yielding, short term investments. Should the economy and interest rates improve over the next 18 months, management expects to be able to deploy this liquidity to meet projected increased loan demand. However, in the near term, as overall interest rates remain low it will become more of a challenge to maintain the Company's current net interest margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company's net interest income decreased $130,000, or 3.3%, compared to the same period in 2008.

Condition and Results of Operations

Service charge income on deposit accounts for 2009 increased $84,000. The Company’s six month 2009 earnings level was accomplished despite a period over period increase of $95,000 in the provision for loan losses, and an impairment loss on the Company’s secondary market loan servicing asset of approximately $76,000, due to the low interest rate environment and the related accelerating payoff of loan balances. Overall in 2009, the deposit insurance premiums assessed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have increased dramatically in response to a number of bank failures during the past 18 months. The FDIC’s regular insurance premiums increased approximately $240,000 during the first six months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. This level of assessment is expected to continue for the remainder of 2009 and beyond. In addition, on May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule to impose a special 5 basis point assessment on total assets less Tier 1 capital on all banks as of June 30, 2009, and authorized the FDIC to impose up to two additional 5 basis point assessments in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. This special assessment increased the Company’s FDIC insurance premium expense by approximately $225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company’s noninterest expense increased $897,000, or 15%, period over period. Excluding the effect of the FDIC insurance premiums, the majority of this increase relates to additional staff and operating expenses following our September 19, 2008 acquisition of three new banking offices from the FDIC.

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 judgments.

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, developments 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.

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.

Legislative Developments

On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule to impose a special 5 basis point assessment on all banks as of June 30, 2009. The 5 basis point assessment is levied on the net of the Bank’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The Company recorded an expense of $225,000 for the June 30, 2009 assessment. The final rule also permits the FDIC to impose up to two additional 5 basis point assessments in the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Earning Assets – Loans

At June 30, 2009, gross loans were $239.2 million, compared to $238.2 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $1.0 million. The overall increase in the loan portfolio was driven by a $3.3 million increase in consumer loans since December 31, 2008.

Installment loans represented 17.4% of total loans at June 30, 2009 and 16.1% at December 31, 2008. This indirect lending type of financing carries somewhat more risk than real estate lending, however it also provides for higher yields. Installment loans have increased $3.3 million or 8.5% since December 31, 2008. The targeted lending areas encompass four metropolitan areas, minimizing the risk to changes in economic conditions in the communities housing the Company’s 20 branch locations.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans comprised 57.6% of total loans at June 30, 2009 compared to 58.8% at December 31, 2008. Commercial and commercial real estate loans have decreased $2.4 million, or 1.7% since December 31, 2008. 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, but all within the state of Ohio.

Real estate loans were 25.1% of total loans at both June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008. Real estate loans increased $158,000 from December 31, 2008. Real estate lending for the six months of 2009 has been slow with respect to the Company’s adjustable-rate mortgage products. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank has approximately $30.9 million in fixed-rate loans that it services for a fee that is typically 25 basis points. At June 30, 2009, 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 six months ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $137,000, or 4.9%, of the beginning balance in the allowance for loan losses.

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. Generally, the quality rating of obligations of state and political subdivisions is Aaa, Aa or A. 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 June 30, 2009 decreased approximately $19.5 million, or 15.1%, from year-end 2008 totals. With the overall decreasing interest rate environment, the Company has experienced a high level of called bond activity during the first six months of 2009. While the Company has plans to reinvest a portion of 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. Also, given the historically low interest rate environment at present, the Company has implemented a strategy to invest in short term certificates of deposit (“CD’s”) of other financial institutions. These CD’s are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and offer an alternative to investing in longer term U.S Government agency securities. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $25.5 million of CD’s with an average yield of 2.21% and an average term to maturity of 199 days.

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 June 30, 2009, total core deposits decreased approximately $6.3 million, or 2.1%. The Company’s interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $9.1 million, or 7.7%, noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $3.2 million, or 13.5%, while certificates of deposit under $100,000 increased by $3.0 million, or 2.5%. The Company’s savings accounts increased $3.1 million, or 7.6%, from December 31, 2008 totals.

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 June 30, 2009, certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 increased $4.2 million, or 9.0%, from year-end 2008 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. The majority of the Company’s repurchase agreements are with local school districts and city and county governments. The Company’s short-term borrowings increased approximately $3.2 million from December 31, 2008 totals, while the Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $5.7 million from December 31, 2008. The Company took advantage of special long term lower rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Net Income

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $0.32, compared with $0.42 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 23.8%. In dollars, the Company’s net income was $1,473,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $455,000, or 23.6%, compared to the same period in 2008.

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 2.6%, or $192,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to the effects of decreasing interest rates in the economy, which resulted in a lower cost of funds during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $658,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $563,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in loan loss provision for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, was predicated upon the increase in nonperforming loans and consideration of the impact on the loan portfolio of the economic challenges facing the banking industry.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income is comprised of bank related fees and service charges, as well as other income producing services provided, gains on sales of loans in the secondary market, gains and losses on sales of repossessed assets, 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 six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,602,000, an increase of $88,000, or 5.8%, compared to $1,514,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008. During the six-months ended June 30, 2009, the increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by an increase in customer service fees of $84,000 and an increase in gains on sale of foreclosed real estate of approximately $76,000. These items were offset by an impairment charge of approximately $76,000 related to the Company’s secondary market mortgage servicing asset. With interest rates at historical low levels, the overall mortgage industry and the Company have seen an increase in mortgage refinancing. As the pace of mortgage refinancing increases the computed value of the Company’s mortgage servicing asset has decreased in value and resulted in the impairment charge previously mentioned. As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s mortgage servicing asset was approximately $287,000, and it is currently valued at approximately 92 basis points of the secondary market loans the Company services.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 an increase of $897,000, or 15.0%, over the six months ended June 30, 2008. Overall in 2009, the deposit insurance premiums assessed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) have increased dramatically in response to a record number of bank failures during the past 18 months. The FDIC’s regular insurance premiums increased approximately $240,000 during the first six months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. This level of assessment is expected to continue for the remainder of 2009 and beyond. As previously discussed, the FDIC on May 22, 2009, adopted a final rule to impose a special 5 basis point assessment on all FDIC-insured banks as of June 30, 2009, and authorized the FDIC to impose up to two additional 5 basis point assessments in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The FDIC special assessment increased the Company’s FDIC insurance premiums by approximately $225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company has experienced an increase in noninterest expense due to the September 2008 acquisition of three branches of a failed bank. With this acquisition the Company expanded from 17 to 20 offices and and as a result increased staff and general overhead from this expansion. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $200,000, or 6.5%, for the period ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. This increase was due to the staffing increase, normal merit increases, and increased incentive award expense and ESOP expense. Professional fees increased $55,000, for the first six months of 2009 over the same period in 2008. It is anticipated this trend will continue for the remainder of 2009 as the Company is working out of several problem credit situations. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $142,000, or 21.5% for the first six months of 2009 over the same period in 2008, due to increased depreciation expense on computer hardware and software and related service maintenance. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $68,000 for the first six months of 2009, relating to the intangible asset recorded in connection with the 2008 acquisition of a failed bank.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes was $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $257,000, or 49.0%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in tax expense was due primarily to a $712,000, or 29.0%, decrease in pretax income. The effective tax rates were 15.4% and 21.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

Net Income

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $0.15 compared with $0.22, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 31.8%. In dollars, the Company’s net income was $672,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 a decrease of $353,000, or 34.4% compared to net income of $1,025,000 for the same quarter in 2008.

Net interest income decreased 3.3%, or $130,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, due primarily to the effects of decreasing interest rates in the economy, which resulted in a higher rate of called investment securities and the timing of and extent to which the Company reinvested those funds.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $334,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $395,000 for the same period in 2008. The provision expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was predicated upon an analysis of the level of nonperforming loans and consideration of the economic challenges applied to the loan portfolio.

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 loans in the secondary market, 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 June 30, 2009 was $813,000, an increase of $55,000, or 7.3%, compared to $758,000 for the same three-month period ended June 30, 2008. During the three-months ended June 30, 2009, the increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by an increase in customer service fees of approximately $63,000 and an increase in gains on sale of foreclosed real estate of approximately $36,000. These items were offset by an impairment charge of approximately $76,000 related to the Company’s secondary market mortgage servicing asset. With interest rates at historical low levels, the overall mortgage industry and the Company have seen an increase in mortgage refinancing. As the pace of mortgage refinancing increases the computed value of the Company’s mortgage servicing asset has decreased in value and resulted in the impairment charge previously mentioned. As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s mortgage servicing asset was approximately $287,000 and it is currently valued at approximately 92 basis points of the secondary market loans the Company services.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $565,000, or 18.8%, over the three months ended June 30, 2008. This was primarily driven by increased insurance expense of $208,000, or 198%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. This increase is due to the FDIC increasing the level of deposit insurance premiums. As previously discussed, the FDIC also imposed a special 5 basis point assessment on the Bank’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The Company has also experienced an increase in noninterest expense due to the September 2008 branch acquisition. With this acquisition the Company expanded from 17 to 20 offices and as a result increased staff and general overhead from this expansion. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $57,000, or 3.5%, for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. This increase was primarily due to staffing increases, normal merit increases and increased incentive award and ESOP expenses. Professional fees increased $18,000, for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. It is anticipated this trend will continue for the remainder of 2009 as the Company is working out of several problem credit situations. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $63,000, or 18.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 over the same period in 2008. Increased depreciation expense on computer hardware and software and related service maintenance was the primary reason for the increase. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This amortization expense is due to the intangible asset in connection with the 2008 branch acquisition.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes was $74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $226,000, or 75.3%, compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in tax expense was due primarily to a $579,000, or 43.7%, decrease in pretax income. The effective tax rates were 9.9% and 22.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Capital Resources

Internal capital growth, through the retention of earnings, is the primary means of maintaining capital adequacy for the Company. Stockholders’ equity totaled $33.6 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $33.9 million at December 31, 2008, a $300,000 decrease. Total stockholders’ equity in relation to total assets was 7.5% at June 30, 2009 and 7.7% at December 31, 2008. 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.

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, 2008.

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 Company officers. Under the Plan, Directors may defer up to 100% of their fees and officers may defer up to 50% of their annual incentive award payable to them by the Company, which 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 in a lump sum or over a period up to ten years per their prior election along with any cash proceeds credited to the account which have not yet been invested in the Company’s stock. On June 19, 2009, the Company purchased a total of 13,156 common shares for participant accounts. 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.
