UNION BANKSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:


Note 1. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial
statements of Union Bankshares, Inc. (the Company) for the interim periods
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the quarters then ended have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the
company's annual report to shareholders and Form 10K. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained
herein have been made. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been
reclassified for comparative purposes. This information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 2001 Annual report, Form 10K, and Form 8K.

Note 2. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, after consulting with Company's
legal counsel, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period
(retroactively adjusted for stock dividends) and reduced for shares held in
Treasury. The assumed conversion of available stock options does not
result in material dilution.

Note 4. Reportable Segments
The company has two reportable operating segments, Union Bank (Union) and
Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company (Citizens). Management regularly
evaluates separate financial information for each segment in deciding how
to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales
or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

Information about reportable segments, and reconciliation of such
information to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the
period ended March 31, follows:

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

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis provides information regarding Union
Bankshares, Inc.'s (Union's) financial position as of March 31, 2002 and as
of December 31, 2001, and its results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the information in this document under Financial
Statements and related notes and with other financial data appearing
elsewhere in this filing. In the opinion of Union's management, the
unaudited interim data reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present Union's consolidated
financial position and results of operations to be expected for the interim
period. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any events after
March 31, 2002 except as described herein, which would materially affect
the information presented. On April 29, 2002, we wrote down $135 thousand
after tax on a commercial property in Other Real Estate Owned as a result
of receiving a new appraisal and the auction results for the sale of the
property. The impact on earnings per share for the first quarter would
have been a negative $.05 if the information had been available to us
earlier.

Union's common stock was listed on the American Stock Exchange on July 13,
2000 with an opening price of $15.125 and it closed on May 13, 2002 at
$24.25.

In May of 2001, Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company opened a loan
production office in Littleton, New Hampshire. Littleton is 19 miles east
of St. Johnsbury, Vermont where Citizens is based, and it is a rapidly
growing community with a diverse economic base. This office generates
loans for both consumer and commercial purposes.

On October 17, 2001 we announced a stock repurchase plan. The Board of
Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of common
stock, or approximately 3.3% of the Company's outstanding shares. Shares
are repurchased from time to time in the open market or in negotiated
transactions as, in the judgement of management, market conditions warrant.
The repurchase program is open for an unspecified period of time. To date,
we have repurchased 6,672 shares.

On April 15, 2002 we modified our Route 108 Branch in Stowe to a fully
electronic branch. On April 22, 2002 our newest, full service branch was
opened in Fairfax, Vermont, which is our first location in Franklin County.

The Company may from time to time make written or oral statements that are
considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may
include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for
future operations, estimates of future economic performance and assumptions
relating thereto. The Company may include forward-looking statements in
its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to
stockholders, including this Quarterly Report, in other written materials,
and in statements made by senior management to analysts, rating agencies,
institutional investors, representatives of the media and others.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to
uncertainties, both general and specific, and risk exists that predictions,
forecasts, projections and other estimates contained in forward-looking
statements will not be achieved. Also, when we use any of the words
"believes," "expects," "anticipates" or similar expressions, we are making
forward-looking statements. Many possible events or factors could affect
the future financial results and performance of our company. This could
cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in
our forward-looking statements. The possible events or factors that might
affect our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
following:

* uses of monetary, fiscal and tax policy by various governments
* political, legislative or regulatory developments in Vermont,
New Hampshire or the United States including changes in laws
concerning taxes, banking and other aspects of the financial
services industry
* developments in general economic or business conditions,
including interest rate fluctuations, market fluctuations and
perceptions, and inflation
9


* changes in the competitive environment for financial services
organizations
* the Company's ability to retain key personnel
* changes in technology including demands for greater automation
* acts of terrorism
* adverse changes in the securities market
* unanticipated lower revenues, loss of customers or business or
higher operating expenses

When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect
to the Company, investors and others are cautioned to consider these and
other risks and uncertainties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $1.169
million, compared with net income of $1.168 million for the first quarter
of 2001. Net income per share was $.39 for the first quarter of 2002 and
2001.

Net Interest Income. The largest component of Union's operating income is
net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend
income received from interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid
on its interest-bearing liabilities.

Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following tables show, for the periods
indicated, the total amount of income recorded from interest-earning
assets, and the related average yields, the interest expense associated
with interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in dollars and average rates,
and the relative net interest spread and net interest margin. All yield
and rate information is calculated on an annualized basis. Yield and rate
information for a period is average information for the period, and is
calculated by dividing the income or expense item for the period by the
average balance of the appropriate balance sheet item during the period.
Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average interest-
earning assets. Nonaccrual loans are included in asset balances for the
appropriate periods, but recognition of interest on such loans is
discontinued and any remaining accrued interest receivable is reversed, in
conformity with federal regulations. The yields and net interest margins
appearing in the following tables have been calculated on a pre-tax basis:

Union's net interest income increased by $285 thousand, or 8.1%, to $3.78
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $3.50 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001. This increase was due to the spread
between yields earned on assets versus paid on liabilities. The net
interest spread increased by 27 basis points to 4.53% for the three months
ended March 31, 2002, from 4.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
The net interest margin for the 2002 period decreased by 5 basis points to
5.00% from 5.05% for the 2001 period.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which
changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities have affected Union's interest income and
interest expense during the periods indicated. For each category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is
provided on changes attributable to:

* changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate);
* changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by current volume);
and
* total change in rate and volume.

Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated
proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

</TABLE>

Interest and Dividend Income. Union's interest and dividend income
decreased by $487,000, or 8.1%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2002, from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001. Average earning assets increased by $24.6 million, or 8.7%, to
$308.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $283.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Average loans
approximated $248.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 up
from $222.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The $10.2
million, or 11.8% increase in residential real estate secured loans and the
$19.5 million, or 19.1% increase in commercial and commercial real estate
loans was partially offset by the $2.1 million, or 14.8% decrease in
personal loans, the $1.4 million, or 11.5% decrease in municipal loans and
the $352 thousand, or 3.5% decrease in construction loans. A conscious
decision to retain a number of loans packaged for sale in our portfolio
accounts for a portion of
11


the increase in both the residential real estate and commercial loan
portfolios. The decrease in personal loans is due to a late 1998 decision
to exit the indirect lending business at Citizens.

The average balance of investment securities (including mortgage-backed
securities) decreased by $5.9 million, or 11.1%, to $47.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, from $53.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The average balance in Interest Bearing Deposits
increased by $2.8 million to $4.5 million, or 171%. The average level of
federal funds sold and overnight deposits increased by $1.9 million, or
33.0%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, from $5.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The net decrease in the
investment portfolio, federal funds sold and overnight deposits, and
interest bearing deposits in 2002 reflects the continuing growth in our
loan portfolio. Interest income on non-loans was $756 thousand for 2002
and $929 thousand for 2001, which is explained by the $1.2 million decrease
in volume and the drop in interest rates.

Interest Expense. Union's interest expense decreased by $772 thousand, or
30.6%, to $1.75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from
$2.53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Average interest-

March 31, 2002, from $1.16 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001, reflecting normal salary activity and growth and the addition of the
loan production office in Littleton, New Hampshire and the staff for the
Fairfax, Vermont branch. Pension and employee benefits increased $59
thousand, or 17.4%, to $398 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2002, from $339 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001 mainly
due to the increase in payroll taxes attributable to the increase in
salaries and the increased cost of health insurance. Net occupancy expense
decreased $4 thousand, or 2.4%, to $161,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002, from $165,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
Equipment expense decreased $14 thousand, or 6.6% to $198,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, from $212,000 for the same period in 2001,
primarily resulting from decreased depreciation cost on computer equipment
and purchased software, which are depreciated as an expense over a time
period of three to five years. Other operating expenses increased
$122,000, or 18.8%, to $770 thousand for the first quarter of 2002, from
$648 thousand for the first quarter of 2001 as supplies, advertising and
training costs increased due to the opening of two new locations. And, an
increase of expenses related to Other Real Estate Owned to $84.5 thousand
for the first three months of 2002 versus $12.0 thousand for the first
three months of 2001.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 2002, Union had total consolidated assets of $334.8 million,
including net loans and loans held for sale of $249.6 million, deposits of
$280.9 million and shareholders' equity of $37.3 million. Based on the
most recent information published by the Vermont Banking Commissioner, in
terms of total assets at December 31, 2000, Union Bank ranked as the 10th
largest institution of the 23 commercial banks and savings institutions
headquartered in Vermont, and Citizens ranked as the 19th.

Union's total assets decreased by $2.6 million, or .8%, to $334.8 million
at March 31, 2002 from $337.5 million at December 31, 2001. Total net
loans and loans held for sale increased by $1.5 million, or .6%, to $249.6
million or 74.55% of total assets at March 31, 2002 as compared to $248.1
million or 73.5% of total assets at December 31, 2001. Cash and cash
equivalents, including federal funds sold and overnight deposits, decreased
approximately $2.1 million, or 9.7% to $19.5 million at March 31, 2002 from
$21.6 million at December 31, 2001.

Securities available for sale decreased from $49.6 million at December 31,
2001 to $47.4 million at March 31, 2002, a $2.2 million or 4.5% decrease.
Securities maturing have not been replaced dollar for dollar and some
securities have been sold in order to fund loan demand and our decision to
hold in portfolio a portion of loans available for sale.

Deposits decreased $4.8 million, or 1.7% to $280.9 million at March 31,
2002 from $285.7 million at December 31, 2001. Total borrowings increased
$1.8 million, or 17.2% to $12.1 million at March 31, 2002 from $10.3
million at December 31, 2001. The increase was in borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank under existing lines of credit to fund loan demand.

Loan Portfolio. Union's loan portfolio (including loans held for sale)
primarily consists of adjustable- and fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by
one-to-four family, multi-family residential or commercial real estate. As
of March 31, 2002, Union's loan portfolio totaled $252.7 million, or 75.5%,
of assets, of which $124.2 million, or 49.2% of gross loans, consisted of
residential mortgages and construction loans, and $85.4 million, or 33.8%,
of total loans consisted of commercial real estate loans. As of such date,
Union's loan portfolio also included $21.0 million of commercial loans,
$10.5 million of municipal loans, and $11.6 million of consumer loans
representing, in order, 8.3%, 4.1% and 4.6% of total loans outstanding on
March 31, 2002.

The following table shows information on the composition of Union's loan
portfolio as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

Union originates and sells residential mortgages into the secondary market,
with most such sales made to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC). Union services a $155.1 million residential mortgage portfolio,
approximately $44.8 million of which is serviced for unaffiliated third
parties at March
13


31, 2002. Additionally, Union originates commercial loans under various
SBA programs that provide an agency guarantee for a portion of the loan
amount. Union sometimes sells the guaranteed portion of the loan to other
financial concerns and will retain servicing rights, which generates fee
income. Union capitalizes mortgage servicing rights on these fees and
recognizes gains and losses on the sale of the principal portion of these
notes as they occur in other income. As of March 31, 2002, Union serviced
$5.7 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans for
unaffiliated third parties.

Gross loans and loans held for sale have increased $1.5 million or .6%
since December 31, 2001. This increase was mitigated by the sale of $3.6
million of residential real estate loans during the first quarter of 2002.
There was a decrease of $.8 million, or .6% in residential real estate
loans, an increase of $66 thousand, or .3% in commercial loans and a $2.8
million, or 3.4% increase in commercial real estate loans. There was a $.6
million, or 4.6% decrease in consumer loans.

Asset Quality. Union, like all financial institutions, is exposed to
certain credit risks related to the value of the collateral that secures
its loans and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. Management
closely monitors Union's loan and investment portfolios and other real
estate owned for potential problems on a periodic basis and reports to
Union's Board of Directors at regularly scheduled meetings.

Union had loans on nonaccrual status totaling $1.9 million at March 31,
2002, $1.8 million at December 31, 2001 and $1.9 million at March 31, 2001.
Interest income not recognized on such loans amounted to approximately $432
thousand and $420 thousand as of March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and
$450 thousand as of December 31, 2001.

Union had $327 thousand and $3.0 million in loans past due 90 days or more
and still accruing at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
At March 31, 2002, Union had internally classified certain loans totaling
$1.8 million of which over half is one relationship which was added to the
watch list in the first quarter of 2002. In management's view, such loans
represent a higher degree of risk and could become nonperforming loans in
the future. While still on a performing status, in accordance with Union's
credit policy, loans are internally classified when a review indicates any
of the following conditions making the likelihood of collection highly
questionable:

* the financial condition of the borrower is unsatisfactory;
* repayment terms have not been met;
* the borrower has sustained losses that are sizable, either in
absolute terms or relative to net worth;
* confidence is diminished;
* loan covenants have been violated;
* collateral is inadequate; or
* other unfavorable factors are present.

At March 31, 2002, Union had acquired by foreclosure or through
repossession real estate worth $1.4 million consisting of three commercial
properties, two residential properties and one parcel of land.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Some of Union's loan customers ultimately do
not make all of their contractually scheduled payments, requiring Union to
charge off the remaining principal balance due. Union maintains an
allowance for loan losses to absorb such losses. The allowance for loan
losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is
adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the
collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the
portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience,
specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired
loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present
value of estimated cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision
for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs,
net of recoveries. While Union allocates the allowance for loan losses
based on the percentage category to total loans, the portion of the
allowance for loan losses allocated to each category
14


does not represent the total available for future losses which may occur
within the loan category since the total allowance for possible loan losses
is a valuation reserve applicable to the entire portfolio.

The following table reflects activity in the allowance for loan losses for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001:

Investment Activities. At March 31, 2002 the reported value of investment
securities available-for-sale was $47.4 million, or 14.15% of its assets
down $2.2 million, or 4.5% from $49.6 million at December 31, 2001 as
maturing investments have not been replaced. Union had no securities
classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities. The reported value
of securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2002 reflects a positive
valuation adjustment of $414 thousand. The offset of this adjustment, net
of income tax effect, was a $273 thousand increase in Union's other
comprehensive income component of shareholders' equity and a decrease in
net deferred tax assets of $141 thousand.

Borrowings. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston were $12.1
million at March 31, 2002 at a weighted average rate of 3.99%. Borrowings
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston were $10.3 million at December
31, 2001 at a weighted average rate of 5.06%. The change between year end
2001 and the end of the first quarter of 2002 is a net increase of $1.8
million in matched borrowings to fund loan demand.

Other Financial Considerations

Market Risk and Asset and Liability Management. Market risk is the risk of
loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market
prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and
equity prices. Union's market risk arises primarily from interest rate
risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end,
management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
Union does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for
trading purposes. Union attempts to structure its balance sheet to
maximize net interest income while controlling its exposure to interest
rate risks. Union's Asset/Liability Committee formulates strategies to
manage interest rate risk by evaluating the impact on earnings and capital
of such factors as current interest rate forecasts and economic indicators,
potential changes in such forecasts and indicators, liquidity, and various
business strategies. Union's Asset/Liability Committee's methods for
evaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of Union's interest-rate
sensitivity "gap", which provides a static analysis of the maturity and
repricing characteristics of Union's entire balance sheet, and a simulation
analysis, which calculates projected net interest income based on
alternative balance sheet and interest rate scenarios, including "rate
shock" scenarios involving immediate substantial increases or decreases in
market rates of interest.

Union's Asset/Liability Committee meets at least weekly to set loan and
deposit rates, make investment decisions, monitor liquidity and evaluate
the loan demand pipeline. Deposit runoff is monitored daily and loan
prepayments evaluated monthly. Union historically has maintained a
substantial portion of its loan portfolio on a variable rate basis and
plans to continue this ALM strategy in the future. The investment
portfolio is classified as available for sale and the modified duration is
relatively short. Union does not utilize any derivative products or invest
in any "high risk" instruments.

Our interest rate sensitivity analysis (simulation) as of December 2001 for
a flat rate environment projected a Net Interest Income of $3.7 million for
the first three months of 2002 compared to actual results of $3.8 million,
or a 1.4% difference. During the first quarter of 2002, the prime rate,
which is used as the driver rate for our simulation analysis, remained
constant at 4.75%. Net income was projected to be $1.2 million in a flat
rate environment compared to actual results of $1.2 million. Return on
Assets was projected to be 1.51% in a flat rate environment and actual
results were 1.40%, which was lower than anticipated due to stronger asset
growth than planned. Return on Equity was projected to be 13.82% in a flat
rate environment compared to actual of 12.68%.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support
financial instruments with credit risk. As of March 31, 2002, the contract
or notional amount of financial instruments whose contract amount
represents credit risk were as follows rounded to the nearest thousand:

<TABLE>

<s> <c>
Commitments to extend credit $24,702
-------
Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit $ 1,039
-------
Credit Card arrangements $ 2,036
-------
Home Equity Lines of Credit $ 3,803
-------
</TABLE>

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.
17


Interest Rate Sensitivity "Gap" Analysis. An interest rate sensitivity
"gap" is defined as the difference between interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time
period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities.
A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive
liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a
period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an
increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest
income, while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income
adversely. Because different types of assets and liabilities with the same
or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market
interest rates or conditions, changes in interest rates may affect net
interest income positively or negatively even if an institution were
perfectly matched in each maturity category.

Union prepares its interest rate sensitivity "gap" analysis by scheduling
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities into periods based
upon the next date on which such assets and liabilities could mature or
reprice. The amount of assets and liabilities shown within a particular
period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the
assets and liabilities, except that:

* adjustable-rate loans, securities, and FHLB advances are included
in the period when they are first scheduled to adjust and not in
the period in which they mature;

* fixed-rate mortgage-related securities reflect estimated
prepayments, which were estimated based on analyses of broker
estimates, the results of a prepayment model utilized by Union,
and empirical data;

* fixed-rate loans reflect scheduled contractual amortization, with
no estimated prepayments; and

* Now, money markets, and savings deposits, which do not have
contractual maturities, reflect estimated levels of attrition,
which are based on detailed studies by Union of the sensitivity
of each such category of deposit to changes in interest rates.

Management believes that these assumptions approximate actual experience
and considers them reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity of
Union's assets and liabilities in the tables could vary substantially if
different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from the
historical experience on which the assumptions are based.

Simulation Analysis. In its simulation analysis, Union uses computer
software to simulate the estimated impact on net interest income and
capital under various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and
strategies. These simulations incorporate assumptions about balance sheet
dynamics such as loans and deposit growth, product pricing, changes in
funding mix, and asset and liability repricing and maturity
characteristics. Based on the results of these simulations, Union is able
to quantify its interest rate risk and develop and implement appropriate
strategies.

The following chart reflects the results of our latest simulation analysis
for the next two year ends on Net Interest Income, Net Income, Return on
Assets, Return on Equity and Capital Value. The projection utilizes a rate
shock of 300 basis points from the current prime rate of 4.75%, this is the
highest internal slope monitored and shows the best and worse scenarios
analyzed. This slope range was determined to be the most relevant during
this economic cycle.

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measurement of Union's ability to meet potential
cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund deposit
withdrawals, repay borrowings, fund investment and lending activities, and
for other general business purposes. Union's principal sources of funds
are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and securities,
maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, sales
of securities available-for-sale, and earnings and funds provided from
operations. In addition, as members of the FHLB, Union's subsidiaries have
access to preapproved lines of credit up to 17.4% of total assets.

In addition, the subsidiaries maintain Federal Fund lines of credit with
upstream correspondent banks and repurchase agreement lines with selected
brokerage houses.

While scheduled loan and securities payments and FHLB advances are
relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and prepayments on
loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by general
interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Union's liquidity is
actively managed on a daily basis, monitored by the Asset/Liability
Committee, and reviewed periodically with the Board of Directors. Union's
Asset/Liability Committee sets liquidity targets based on Union's financial
condition and existing and projected economic and market conditions. The
committee measures Union's marketable assets and credit available to fund
liquidity requirements and compares the adequacy of that aggregate amount
against the aggregate amount of Union's sensitive or volatile liabilities,
such as core deposits and time deposits in excess of $100,000, term
deposits with short maturities, and credit commitments outstanding. The
committee's primary objective is to manage Union's liquidity position and
funding sources in order to ensure that it has the ability to meet its
ongoing commitment to its depositors, to fund loan commitments, and to
maintain a portfolio of investment securities. Since many of the loan
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Union's management monitors current and projected cash flows and adjusts
positions as necessary to maintain adequate levels of liquidity. Although
approximately 74.6% of Union's certificates of deposit will mature within
twelve months, management believes, based upon past experience, that Union
will retain a substantial portion of these deposits. Management will
continue to offer a competitive but prudent pricing strategy to facilitate
retention of such deposits. Any reduction in total deposits could be
offset by
20


purchases of federal funds, short-term FHLB borrowings, or liquidation of
investment securities or loans held for sale. Such steps could result in
an increase in Union's cost of funds and adversely impact the net interest
margin.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Union Bank and Citizens (the Banks) are
subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Management believes, as of March 31, 2002, that
the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of March 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the
Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I
leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions
or events since the notification that management believes have changed
either Bank's category.

The Banks' actual capital amounts (000's omitted) and ratios are presented
in the table:

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. Union's consolidated financial
statements, included in this document, have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the
measurements of financial position and results of operations in terms of
historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. Banks have asset and liability
structures that are essentially monetary in nature, and their general and
administrative costs constitute relatively small percentages of total
expenses. Thus, increases in the general price levels for goods and
services have a relatively minor effect on Union's total expenses.
Interest rates have a more significant impact on Union's financial
performance than the effect of general inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or change in the same magnitude as
the prices of goods and services, although periods of increased inflation
may accompany a rising interest rate environment.
