Part I-Item 1 Business

General: Union Bankshares, Inc. (Union) is a two-bank holding company whose
subsidiaries are Citizens Savings Bank & Trust Co. and Union Bank. It was
incorporated in the State of Vermont in 1982. Citizens Savings Bank and
Trust Company was chartered under Vermont law in 1887 as a State bank and
is headquartered in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Citizens became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Union on November 30, 1999 through a pooling of interests but
kept its separate name and banking franchise. Union Bank was organized and
chartered as a State bank in 1891 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Union in 1982 upon its formation. Union and Union Bank are headquartered in
Morrisville, Vermont.

Union has two definable segments that are Citizens Savings Bank & Trust Co.
and Union Bank which both generally operate in the same geographic and
economic environments in Northern Vermont. Citizens Savings Bank & Trust
Co. has 49 full time equivalent employees while Union Bank has 99. Union,
itself, does not have any paid employees.

Union's income is derived principally from interest on loans and earnings
on other investments. Its primary expenses arise from interest paid on
deposits and borrowings and general overhead expenses. The assets of Union
have grown from $256 million to $303 million over the last five years or
18.6% while our total deposits have grown from $224 million to $259 million
or 15.3% during that same period. Please refer to our schedule of Selected
Financial Information, which has been restated for all periods for the
pooling of interest with Citizens, at Item 6 of this annual report for
further details.

The deposits of both banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the
FDIC up to legal limits (generally $100,000 per depositor).

Competition: Union and its two subsidiaries face substantial competition in
their market area from local commercial banks, savings banks, credit
unions, and financial services affiliates of bank holding companies, as
well as from national financial service providers such as mutual funds,
brokerage houses, consumer finance companies and internet banks. Union
anticipates continued strong competition from such financial institutions
in the foreseeable future. Within Union's market area are branches of
several commercial and savings banks that are substantially larger than
Union. Both the subsidiary banks focus on their niche of being community
banks and focus hours and modes of delivery to provide outstanding customer
service. We compete for checking, savings, money market accounts and other
deposits by offering depositors competitive rates, personal service, local
area expertise, convenient locations and access, and an array of financial
services and products.

The competition in originating real estate and other loans comes
principally from commercial banks, mortgage banking companies and credit
unions. Union competes for loan originations primarily through the interest
rates and loan fees it charges, the types of loans it offers, and the
efficiency and quality of services it provides. In addition to residential
mortgage lending and municipal loans, Union also emphasizes commercial real
estate, construction, and both conventional and SBA commercial lending.
Factors that affect Union's ability to compete for loans include general
and local economic conditions, prevailing interest rates including "prime"
rate, and pricing volatility of the secondary mortgage markets. Union
attempts to promote an increased level of personal service and expertise
within the community to position itself as a lender to small to middle
market business and residential customers, which tend to be under-served by
larger institutions.

Management's strategy includes continued evaluation of changing market
needs and design and implementation of products and services to meet those
needs. The directors and management of Union intend to continue to offer
products and services that will allow Union to manage responsibly the
growth of its assets, while building and enhancing both shareholder value
and both Citizens' and Union Bank's image as premiere Vermont community
banks.

Regulation and Supervision: As Vermont-chartered commercial banks, each
subsidiary is subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the
Vermont Banking Department and the FDIC. Union, as a bank holding company,
is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Federal
Reserve Board. The regulations of these authorities govern certain of the
operations of Union. The following discussion summarizes the material
aspects of federal and state banking laws and regulations that apply to
Union, Citizens, and Union Bank:

Acquisitions and Activities. The activities of bank holding companies, such
as Union, and those of companies that they control or in which they hold
more than 5% of the voting stock, are limited to banking, managing or
controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for their
subsidiaries or any other activity that the Federal Reserve Board
determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or to
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In making such
determinations, the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider whether
the performance of such activities by a bank holding company or its
subsidiaries can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public
such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency
that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of
resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or
unsound banking practices. Generally, bank holding companies, such as
Union, are required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board
to engage in any new activity or to acquire more than 5% of any class of
voting stock of any bank or other company.

According to Federal Reserve Board policy, bank holding companies are
expected to act as a source of financial strength to their subsidiary banks
and to commit resources to support them. This support may be called for at
times when a bank holding company may not have the required resources to
provide such support.

The federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley financial modernization act ("Gramm-Leach-
Bliley"), which became effective on March 11, 2000, permits eligible bank
holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby
affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in a
broader range of activities than is otherwise permissible for bank holding
companies. A bank holding company is eligible to elect to become a
financial holding company and to engage in activities that are "financial
in nature" if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized for
regulatory capital purposes, is well managed and has at least a
satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"). No
regulatory approval is required for a financial holding company to acquire
a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities
that are financial in nature or incident to activities that are financial
in nature, as defined by the Federal Reserve Board. Gramm-Leach-Bliley
defines activities which are "financial in nature" to include securities
underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and
investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking
activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to
be closely related to banking. Gramm-Leach-Bliley also contains similar
provisions authorizing eligible national banks to engage indirectly through
a financial subsidiary and subject to limitations on investment, in
activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting,
insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development and real
estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank
is well capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory CRA
rating. State-chartered banks in Vermont would have comparable powers under
the state's national bank parity powers statute.

Implementation of Gramm-Leach-Bliley may result in structural changes to
the financial services industry, the full effect of which cannot be
predicted with any certainty but has had no material effect on the company's
financial statements or business practices to date.

Interstate Banking and Branching. With the passage of the Riegle-Neal
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, bank holding
companies became able to acquire banks based outside their home states,
generally without regard to whether the state's law would permit the
acquisition. The Riegle-Neal Act also authorizes banks to merge across
state lines, to create interstate branches. This provision, which was
effective June 1, 1997, allowed each state an opportunity to "opt out" of
interstate branching. Neither Vermont nor the contiguous states of New
Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts has "opted out" of interstate
branching. The Riegle-Neal Act also permits a bank to open new branches in
a state in which it does not already have banking operations if the state
has enacted a law permitting such de novo branching. Neither Vermont nor
any of the three contiguous states has adopted legislation permitting de
novo interstate branching, but all of such states except New Hampshire
permits out-of-state banks or bank holding companies to acquire existing
branches. Although interstate banking and branching may result in increased
competitive pressures in the markets in which we operate, we also believe
that they present competitive opportunities for locally owned and managed
banks, such as Union and Citizens, that emphasize personal service and
prompt, local decision-making.

Affiliate Restrictions. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are
subject to certain restrictions under the Federal Reserve Act in their
dealings with each other, such as in connection with extensions of credit,
transfers of assets, and purchase of services among affiliated parties.
Further, under the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Board
regulations, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited
from engaging in certain tie-in-arrangements in connection with extensions
of credit or furnishing of property or services to third parties. Union,
Union Bank and Citizens are subject to these restrictions in their
intercompany transactions.

Banks: The various laws and regulations applicable to Citizens and Union
that are administered by the FDIC and the Vermont Banking Commissioner
affect the banks' corporate practices, such as payment of dividends,
incurring of debt and acquisition of financial institutions and other
companies. These laws also affect their business practices, such as payment
of interest on deposits, the charging of interest on loans, or the location
of offices. There are no outstanding regulatory orders resulting from
regulatory examinations of Union, Union Bank or Citizens.

A comprehensive recodification of Vermont's banking laws was passed by the
Vermont Legislature during 2000. The bill modernizes and streamlines the
laws applicable to state bank corporate practices and regulatory
procedures, but had no material effect on the company's financial
statements or business practices.

Dividend Limitations: As a holding company, Union's ability to pay
dividends to its shareholders is largely dependent on the ability of its
subsidiaries to pay dividends to it. Payment of dividends by Vermont-
chartered banks, such as Union Bank and Citizens, is subject to applicable
state and federal laws. A Vermont bank may pay dividends only if the bank's
board has reviewed the bank's financial results and has found that the
proposed dividend will be paid out of amounts actually earned. The Vermont
Banking Commissioner may limit or condition a bank's ability to pay
dividends, if the bank does not have a segregated surplus fund which,
together with earned surplus, equals at least 10% of the amount of the
bank's deposits and other liabilities, except surplus, capital notes and
debentures. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the
Vermont Banking Commissioner are authorized under applicable federal and
state laws to prohibit payment of dividends that they determine would be an
unsafe or unsound practice. Payment of dividends that deplete the capital
of a bank or a bank holding company, or render it illiquid, could be found
to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Capital Requirements: The Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and other federal
banking regulators have issued substantially similar risk-based and
leverage capital guidelines for United States Banking organizations. Those
regulatory agencies are also authorized to require that a banking
organization maintain capital above the minimum levels, whether because of
its financial condition of actual or anticipated growth. The Federal
Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines define a three-tier capital
framework and specify three relevant capital ratios: Tier 1 Capital Ratio,
a Total Capital Ratio and a "Leverage Ratio." Tier 1 Capital consists of
common and qualifying preferred shareholders' equity, less certain
intangibles and other adjustments. The remainder (Tier 2 and Tier 3
Capital) consists of subordinate and other qualifying debt, preferred stock
that does not qualify as Tier 1 Capital, and the allowance of credit losses
up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

The sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital, less investments in
unconsolidated subsidiaries, represents qualifying "Total Capital," at
least 50% of which must consist of Tier 1 Capital. Risk-based capital
ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital by risk-
weighted assets. Assets and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to one
of four categories or risk weights, based primarily on relative credit
risk. The minimum Tier 1 Capital Ratio is 4% and the minimum Total Capital
Ratio is 8%. The Leverage Ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 Capital by
adjusted average total assets. Although the minimum Leverage Ratio is 3%,
most banking organizations are required to maintain Leverage Ratios of at
least 1 to 2 percentage points above 3%.

Federal bank regulatory agencies require banking organizations that engage
in significant trading activity to calculate a capital charge for market
risk. Significant trading activity means trading activity of at least 10%
of total assets or $1 billion, whichever is smaller, calculated on a
consolidated basis for bank holding companies. Federal bank regulators may
apply the market risk measure to other bank holding companies, as the
agency deems necessary or appropriate for safe and sound banking practices.
Each agency may exclude organizations that it supervises that otherwise
meet the criteria under certain circumstances. The market risk charge will
be included in the calculation of an organization's risk-based capital
ratio. Neither Union, Union Bank, nor Citizens is currently subject to this
special capital charge.

Federal Reserve Board policy provides that banking organizations generally,
and, in particular, those that are experiencing internal growth or actively
making acquisitions, will be expected to maintain strong capital positions
substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant
reliance on intangible assets, such as goodwill. Furthermore, the capital
guidelines indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to
consider a "Tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio" in evaluating proposals for
expansion or new activities. The Tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio is
calculated by dividing a banking organization's Tier 1 Capital less all
intangible assets by its total consolidated quarterly average assets less
all intangible assets.

The Federal Reserve Board's capital adequacy guidelines generally provide
that bank holding companies with a ratio of intangible assets to tangible
Tier 1 Capital in excess of 25% will be subject to close scrutiny for
certain purposes, including the Federal Reserve Board's evaluation of
acquisition proposals. Union does not have a material amount of intangibles
in its capital base, nor was any goodwill intangible created as a result of
the merger.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), among other things, identifies five capital categories for
insured depository institutions (well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically
undercapitalized) and requires the respective federal banking agencies to
implement systems for "prompt corrective action" for insured depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA imposes
progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management and
capital distributions, depending on the category in which an institution is
classified. Failure to meet the capital guidelines could also subject a
banking institution to capital raising requirements. An "undercapitalized"
bank must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent holding company
must guarantee that bank's compliance with the plan. The liability of the
parent holding company under any such guarantee is limited to the lesser of
5% of the bank's assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the
amount needed to comply with the plan. Furthermore, in the event of the
bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such guarantee would take
priority over the parent's general unsecured creditors. In addition, FDICIA
requires the various federal banking agencies to prescribe certain
noncapital standards for safety and soundness related generally to
operations and management, asset quality and executive compensation, and
permits regulatory action against a financial institution that does not
meet such standards.

The various federal banking agencies have adopted substantially similar
regulations that define the five capital categories identified by FDICIA,
using the Total Capital, Tier 1 Ratio and the Leverage Ratio as the
relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish various degrees of
corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered
undercapitalized. Under the regulations, a "well capitalized" institution
must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of
at least 10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to a
capital directive order. An "adequately capitalized" institution must have
a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4%, a total capital ratio of at least 8%
and a leverage ratio of at least 4%, or 3% in some cases.

Community Reinvestment Act: Union Bank and Citizens are subject to the
federal Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), which requires banks to
demonstrate their commitment to serving the credit needs of low and
moderate income residents of their communities. Both banks participate in a
variety of direct and indirect lending programs and other investments for
the benefit of the low and moderate income residents in our communities. At
their last CRA compliance examinations by the FDIC, Union Bank received a
rating of "outstanding" and Citizens received a rating of "satisfactory."

Deposit Insurance Premium Assessments: Under applicable federal laws and
regulations, deposit insurance premium assessments to the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") are based
on a supervisory risk rating system, with the most favorably rated
institutions paying the lowest premiums. The deposits of Union Bank and
Citizens are insured under the BIF. As "well capitalized" institutions, both
banks are presently in the most favorable deposit insurance assessment
category, and pay the minimum deposit premium assessment.

FDICIA Cross-Guarantees: Under the cross-guarantee provisions of FDICIA, in
some circumstances in the event of a loss suffered or anticipated by the
FDIC-either as a result of a bank's insolvency or FDIC assistance provided
to a bank in danger of default-the FDIC may assess the other banks in the
same holding company family to recoup its losses to the deposit insurance
fund.

Part I-Item 2 Properties

As of December 31, 2000, Union's subsidiaries operated 12 community-banking
locations all of which are in Lamoille or Caledonia counties of Vermont.
Eight of these branch locations are Union Bank's and four are Citizens.
Together they also operate 23 automated banking machines in northern
Vermont. The Company owns eight of its branch locations and leases the
other branches and certain ATM premises from third parties under terms and
conditions considered by management to be favorable to the Company.

Additional information relating to the Company's properties is set forth in
Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements and incorporated herein by
reference.

Part I-Item 3 Legal Proceedings

There are no known pending legal proceedings to which Union or its
subsidiaries are a party, or to which any of the properties are subject,
other than ordinary litigation arising in the normal course of business
activities. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to
such proceedings cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, based
upon the opinion of counsel, any such liability will not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial position of Union and its
subsidiaries.

Part I-Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There was no submission of matters to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of 2000.

                   [Letterhead of Union Bankshares, Inc.]

Dear Shareholders,                                       March 21, 2001

The past twelve months have been important ones for your company.
Considerable time and effort was expended in bringing Union Bank and
Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company backroom operations, policies and
procedures closer together. The highlights of the year 2000, located on
page three of this report, clearly indicate a year of much activity and
consolidation.

Many of the accomplishments noted were not undertaken to gain "immediate"
improvement in our financial results. In fact, some activities, such as
one-time costs associated with the conversion of Citizens' data processing
to Union Bank, added to current year expenses. Projects such as this will
lead to enhanced customer service and improved employee productivity over
the long term while retaining Union and Citizens as independent community
banks. We have established a number of sound foundations from which we will
build upon to further strengthen our financial performance. We are pleased
with the progress made during the past year and plan much more of the same
going forward.

The audited financial statements included in this report reveal some good
trends. Capital is in excess of 11%, placing us in the Well Capitalized
category according to regulatory standards. Loans Outstanding grew over $15
million (7.4%) reflecting our strategic decision to more actively seek good
loans and to hold loans "in house" rather than sell them into the secondary
market. Deposits, however, had minimal growth reflecting a problem most
banks are having by competing with Credit Unions and non-bank financial
institutions. We are always researching ways to attract core deposits as
well as alternative methods to fund loan demand.

Net income of $4.8 million and earnings per share of $1.58 both showed good
improvement over 1999. There are a number of reasons for this, which
include: increased net interest income, a substantial reduction in merger-
related costs and some early benefits from our consolidation efforts. We
look for continued growth and earnings improvement going forward.

The economy within our service area is doing quite well. Residential
construction lending was brisk this past year and indicators tell us 2001
will see more of the same. Small business continues to thrive and an almost
record snowfall this winter certainly has helped the travel and tourism
industry.

In the proxy statement you will notice three directors are not being
nominated for re-election, leaving a slate of nine directors. Last
November, Director Walter M. Sargent (Sarge, as we all knew him) passed
away. Sarge served the bank in various capacities during the past 68 years.
We felt it only fitting to include his picture (at left), taken a few years
back in his office at the bank, in our year 2000 annual report.

Two directors, Peter M. Haslam and William F. Kinney, have attained the
retirement age established by the Board of Directors in 1983. Mr. Kinney
has served as a director since 1967 and Mr. Haslam since 1972. All three of
these directors have had a substantial influence on the growth and
prosperity Union Bankshares has experienced during their tenure. On a
personal note, both of us have found their wisdom and candor very helpful
over the years.

Each year as we draft this letter and assemble the annual report it helps
us reflect on what has happened in the past year and, more importantly, on
what awaits us in the years ahead. As we move forward in this competitive
age, it is important to acknowledge the contributions made by and the
dedication of the people who work for your company. These folks, from the
tellers, clerks and the night shift operator to the managers and
supervisors and officers, in conjunction with thousands of satisfied
customers, are what make Union Bankshares successful.

We want to say thank you, we appreciate your dedication and business.

Sincerely,

/s/ W. Arlen Smith                     /s/ Kenneth D. Gibbons

The management of Union Bankshares, Inc. is responsible for the integrity
and objectivity of the information and representations in this annual
report, including the consolidated financial statements. These statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, using informed estimates where appropriate, to reflect the
Company's financial condition and results of operations. The information in
other sections of the annual report is consistent with these statements.

The Company's Board of Directors has oversight responsibilities for
determining that management has fulfilled its obligation in the preparation
of the financial statements and in the ongoing examination of the Company's
established internal control structure over financial reporting. The Audit
Committee, which consists solely of outside directors and which reports
directly to the Board of Directors, meets regularly with management, A.M.
Peisch & Company Certified Public Accountants and the Company's internal
auditor to discuss accounting, auditing and reporting matters. To ensure
auditor independence, both A.M. Peisch & Company and the internal auditor
have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The financial statements have been audited by A.M. Peisch & Company, whose
report appears on the next page. The auditors provide an objective,
independent review as to management's discharge of its responsibilities
insofar as they relate to the fairness of the Company's reported financial
condition and results of operations. Their audit includes procedures
believed by them to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatement and includes a review of the
Company's internal control structure over financial reporting.

Board of Directors
Union Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Morrisville, Vermont

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Union
Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U. S. generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Union Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000
and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 in conformity with U. S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.   Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of Union Bankshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
Company) are in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting
principles and general practices within the banking industry. The following
is a description of the more significant policies.

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Union
Bankshares, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Union Bank (Union),
and Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company (Citizens). All financial
information has been restated historically for the acquisition of Citizens
accounted for as pooling of interests as described in Note 19. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Nature of operations

The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and
corporate customers through its branches, ATM's, telebanking, and Internet
systems in northern Vermont which encompasses primarily small businesses,
agriculture, and the tourism industry. The Company's primary deposit
products are checking, savings and money market accounts, and certificates
of deposit. Its primary lending products are commercial, real estate,
municipal, and consumer loans.

Concentration of risk

The Company's operations are affected by various risk factors, including
interest-rate risk, credit risk, and risk from geographic concentration of
lending activities. Management attempts to manage interest rate risk
through various asset/liability management techniques designed to match
maturities of assets and liabilities. Loan policies and administration are
designed to provide assurance that loans will only be granted to credit-
worthy borrowers, although credit losses are expected to occur because of
subjective factors and factors beyond the control of the Company. Although
the Company has a diversified loan portfolio and economic conditions are
stable, most of its lending activities are conducted within the geographic
area where it is located. As a result, the Company and its borrowers may be
especially vulnerable to the consequences of changes in the local economy.
Note 4 discusses the types of securities that the Bank invests in. Note 5
discusses the types of lending which the Bank engages in. In addition, a
substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate
and/or are SBA guaranteed.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.
S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses
on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans and deferred tax assets. The
amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Presentation of cash flows

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks
(including cash items in process of clearing), federal funds sold
(generally purchased and sold for one day periods), and overnight deposits.

Trust assets

Assets of the Trust Department, other than trust cash on deposit, are not
included in these consolidated financial statements because they are not
assets of the Company.

Investment securities

Investment securities purchased and held primarily for resale in the near
future are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt securities the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held to maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using methods
approximating the interest method. Debt and equity securities not
classified as either held-to-maturity or trading are classified as
available-for-sale. Investments classified as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income, net
of tax and reclassification adjustment. Declines in the fair value of held-
to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are
deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized
losses. The specific identification method is used to determine realized
gains and losses on sales of securities available-for-sale.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock

As members of the Federal Home Loan Bank, Union and Citizens are required
to invest in $100 par value stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank. The stock
is nonmarketable, and when redeemed, they would receive from the Federal
Home Loan Bank an amount equal to the par value of the stock.

Loans held for sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried
at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. All sales
are made without recourse. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a
valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
unpaid principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan
losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized
premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Loan interest income is accrued daily on outstanding balances. The accrual
of interest is discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be
impaired or management believes, after considering collection efforts and
other factors, that the borrowers financial condition is such that
collection of interest is doubtful. Any unpaid interest previously accrued
on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income generally is not
recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss
is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied
as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other
nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments
received.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination
costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of
the related loan's yield using methods that approximate the interest
method. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the
contractual life.

Allowance for loan 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
periodic 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.

Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. The cost of assets sold or otherwise disposed of
and the related allowance for depreciation is eliminated from the accounts
and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the income statement.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense as incurred and the
cost of major renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Other real estate owned

Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are
to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of
foreclosure establishing a new carrying basis. After foreclosure,
valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate is
carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation are
included in other income and expenses.

Mortgage servicing

Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired
through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing
rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest
expense in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net
servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are
evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as
compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights
by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair
value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar
characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using
market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation
allowance for an individual stratum, to the extent that fair value is less
than the capitalized amount for the stratum.

Pension plans

Union maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering
all eligible employees who meet certain service requirements. Union also
has a contributory 401(k) pension plan covering all employees who meet
certain service requirements. The plan is voluntary, and in 2000, 1999, and
1998, Union contributed fifty cents for every dollar contributed by
participants, up to six percent of each participant's salary.

Citizens has a contributory 401(k) pension plan covering all employees who
meet certain age and service requirements. The plan is voluntary, and
Citizens contributes fifty cents for every dollar contributed by
participants, up to six percent of each participant's salary.

Pension costs are charged to pension and other employee benefits expense
and are funded as accrued.

Advertising costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

Earnings per common share

Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, retroactively
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, and stock issues relating to
the acquisition of Citizens in a merger accounted for as a pooling of
interests as described in Note 19 and reduced for shares held in treasury.
The weighted average shares outstanding were 3,029,627, 3,028,457, and
3,022,223 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for
the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of
the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized
or settled. Adjustments to the Company's deferred tax assets are recognized
as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgment
relating to the realizability of such assets.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-
balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend
credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of
credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are
recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

Fair values of financial instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

      Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance
      sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair
      values.

      Investment securities and interest bearing deposits: Fair
      values for investment securities and interest bearing deposits are
      based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices
      are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of
      comparable instruments or discounted present values of cash flows.

      Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount of this stock
      approximates its fair value.

      Loans and loans held for sale: For variable-rate loans that reprice
      frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values
      are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans (for
      example, fixed-rate residential, commercial real estate, and rental
      property mortgage loans, and commercial and industrial loans) are
      estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates
      currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of
      similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments
      regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics.
      The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for loans that are
      held for sale approximate their fair market values. Fair values for
      impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or
      underlying collateral values, where applicable.

      Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example,
      checking and savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount
      payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying
      amounts). The carrying amounts of variable rate certificates of deposit
      approximate their fair values at the reporting date. The fair values
      for fixed rate certificates of deposit and borrowed funds are estimated
      using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
      currently being offered on certificates and debt to a schedule of
      aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits and debt.

      Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates
      their fair values.

      Borrowed funds: The fair values of the Company's long term debt are
      estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates
      currently being offered on similar debt instruments.

      Other liabilities: Commitments to extend credit were evaluated and fair
      value was 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.

Comprehensive income

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, as of
January 1, 1998. Accounting principles generally require that recognized
revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although
certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and
losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate
component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along
with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The adoption of
SFAS No. 130 had no effect on the Company's net income or stockholders'
equity.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects at
December 31 are as follows:

Stock option plan

The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. As such,
compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current
market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. FASB
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", permits
entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of
all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, Statement No.
123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion
No. 25 and provide proforma net income disclosures for employee stock-based
awards made in 1995 and future years as if the fair value based method
defined in Statement No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the proforma
disclosures of Statement No. 123. See Note 18.

Transfers of financial assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over
the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed
to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company,
(2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it
from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred
assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the
transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their
maturity.

Segment reporting

The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information, which establishes standards relative to public
companies for the reporting of certain information about operating segments
within their financial statements. Management has determined that the
Company has two reportable segments as defined within the Statement. These
segments are disclosed in Note 20 of the financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statement No. 137, which becomes
effective for years beginning after June 15, 2000. This Statement
establishes new accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and
measure those derivatives at fair value. The accounting for the gains or
losses resulting in the changes of value of those derivatives will depend
on the intended use of the derivatives and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement
on the Company's financial statements but does not anticipate it will have
a material impact.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1999 and 1998 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 2.   Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks

The Company is required to maintain reserve balances in cash with Federal
Reserve Banks. The totals of those reserve balances were approximately
$2,819,000 and $2,513,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The nature of the Bank's business requires that it maintain amounts due
from banks which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The
balance in these accounts at December 31, is as follows:

No losses have been experienced in these accounts. In addition, the Company
was required to maintain contracted clearing balances of $750,000 and
$1,000,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Note 3.   Interest Bearing Deposits

Interest bearing deposits consist of certificates of deposit purchased from
various financial institutions. Deposits at each institution are maintained
at or below the FDIC insurable limits of $100,000. These certificates were
issued with rates ranging from 5.15% to 7.15% and mature at various dates
through 2005 with approximately $684,975 scheduled to mature in 2001.

</TABLE>

Contributions to the plan are invested in diversified portfolios, mainly
corporate stocks and bonds.

Contributions to Union's defined contribution 401(k) plan, including
employer matching amounts, are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Employer contributions to the plan were $67,440, $65,785, and $63,375 for
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Additionally, the Company and Union have a non-qualified Deferred
Compensation Plan for Directors and certain key officers. Under the plan,
compensation may be deferred that would otherwise be currently payable.
Deferrals are made to an uninsured interest bearing account and are payable
upon attainment of a certain age or death over a 15 year period. The
Company and Union have purchased life insurance contracts for each
participant in order to fund these benefits. The benefits accrued under
this plan aggregated $1,541,417 and $1,651,932 at December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively, and is included in the financial statement caption
"Accrued expenses and other liabilities". The cash surrender value of the
life insurance policies purchased to fund these plans aggregated $1,230,291
and $1,124,222 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These amounts
are included in the financial statement caption "Other assets". The annual
net cost of the plan is immaterial to the financial statements of the
Company.

Citizens maintains separately a 401(k) plan and a discretionary profit
sharing plan. The 401(k) plan covers all employees meeting certain
eligibility requirements. Employees are permitted to contribute any amount,
up to 10% of their compensation, to the 401(k) plan. Citizens makes
matching contributions up to 6% of an employee's compensation. Matching
contributions to this plan were $30,800, $37,178, and $30,852 for 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively.

Contributions to the profit sharing plan are at the discretion of Citizens'
Board of Directors. Contributions to this plan were $66,384, $42,003, and
$74,934 for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Note 14.   Financial Instruments With Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable rate
loans, and commitments to sell loans. Such instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular
classes of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional
amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in
making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-
sheet instruments. For interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable
rate loans, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to
credit loss. The Company controls the risk of interest rate cap agreements
through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support
financial instruments with credit risk.

</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.

Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn
upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary
by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit
evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include real
estate, accounts receivables, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and
income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the
same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

Note 15.   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 the
Company's legal counsel, any liability resulting from such proceedings
would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
statements.

Note 16.   Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
December 31, 2000 are as follows:

Note 21.   Regulatory Capital Requirements

Union and Citizens (the Banks) are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly
additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Banks' financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Banks' assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Banks' capital amounts and classification are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to
average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2000,
that the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are
subject.

As of December 31, 2000, 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. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
Banks' category.

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

                                   GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis by Management focuses on those
factors that had a material effect on Union Bankshares, Inc.'s (Union's)
financial position as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and its results of
operations for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes and with other financial data appearing
elsewhere. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any events after
December 31, 2000, which would materially affect the information presented
below.

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 Annual 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 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
*   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
*   unanticipated lower revenues, loss of customers or business, or higher
    operating expenses
*   adverse changes in the securities market

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.

                                 ACQUISITION

Effective November 30, 1999, following the receipt of all required
stockholder, state and federal regulatory approvals, Union Bankshares, Inc.
acquired Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Co. This makes Union a two bank
holding company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect
the accounting for the acquisition as a pooling of interests and are
presented as if the companies were combined as of the earliest period
presented. However, the financial information is not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations, financial position or cash flows that would
have occurred had the acquisition been consummated for the periods for
which it is given effect, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The financial
statements reflect the conversion of each outstanding share of Citizens
common stock into 6.5217 shares of Union common stock. Additional
information with respect to this acquisition can be found in Note 19 to the
Financial Statements.

                            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $4.800
million compared with net income of $4.075 million for the year 1999.
Without merger related nondeductible expenses and Y2K expenses, 1999's net
income would have been $4.614 million. Net income per share was $1.58 for
2000 compared to $1.35 for 1999 and would have been $1.52 per share for
1999 without merger related and Y2K expenses.

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 table shows 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. 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 balances 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 table have been calculated on a pre-tax basis:

Union's net interest income increased by $502 thousand, or 3.65%, to $14.2
million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $13.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the growth
in our loan portfolio which had an average yield of 9.42% in 2000 while the
lower yielding investment, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold
average balances decreased. On average for the year 93.9% of our assets
were earning interest in 2000 versus 93.5% in 1999. The net interest spread
decreased by 1 basis point to 4.40% for the year ended December 31, 2000,
from 4.41% for the year ended December 31, 1999. The net interest margin
for the 2000 period increased by 6 basis points to 5.19% from 5.13% for the
1999 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. All
changes are expressed as Dollars in thousands.

</TABLE>

Interest and Dividend Income. Union's interest and dividend income
increased by $1,258,000, or 5.5%, to $24.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000, from $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Average earning assets increased by $6.9 million, or 2.5%, to $281.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $274.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. Average loans were $215.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000 up from $202.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. Increases in commercial, municipal, construction and
real estate secured loans were partially offset by a decrease in average
installment loans. Increases in loan volume and interest rates led by the
average prime rate for 2000 being 9.23%, up from 7.99% in 1999, was
partially offset by the ever increasing competition, and the lower volume
of installment loans. This mainly accounted for the increase in loan
interest income of $1,423,000 or 7.6%.

The average balance of investment securities (including mortgage-backed
securities) decreased by $2.4 million, or 4.0%, to $58.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000, from $61.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999. Higher interest rates during 2000 partially offset the
volume decrease in the investment portfolio as total interest and dividend
income was down only 1.9%. Union extended the investment maturity window
during 2000 in order to take advantage of the higher interest rates. The
average level of federal funds sold decreased by $3.2 million, or 37.5%, to
$5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $8.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999. The average balances invested in
interest-bearing deposits decreased to $2.0 million at December 31, 2000
from $2.2 million, or 11.7%, at December 31, 1999. These deposits are FDIC
insured.

Interest Expense. Union's interest expense increased by $756,000, or 8.3%,
to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $9.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999. Average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $4.4 million, or 1.9% to $230.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000, from $225.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1999. Average time deposits decreased $330 thousand, or .3%, to $98.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $98.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. The average balances for NOW accounts
decreased by $271 thousand to $34.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2000, from $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The average
balances in savings and money market accounts grew to $90.9 million in 2000
from $87.4 million in 1999 or a 4.1% increase. Higher interest rates
prevailed for all interest-bearing liabilities for the current year.

Noninterest Income. Union's noninterest income increased only $1,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2000. The results for the period reflected a
net gain of $34 thousand from the sale of loans compared to a net gain of
$40 thousand from these sales during 1999. The net gain on Sales of
Securities was $25 thousand for 2000 compared to $3 thousand for 1999.
These changes can be explained by management's decision to retain in
portfolio a higher percentage of loans that could be sold due to the
interest rate environment and the reinvestment rates available. Service
fees (sources of which include deposit fees, loan servicing fees, and ATM
fees) decreased by $19,000, or 0.9%, to $2.21 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000, from $2.23 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Trust income increased to $182,000 in 2000 from $166,000 in 1999 or a 9.6%
increase. Other noninterest income decreased by $11,000, or 8.4%, to $120
thousand for 2000 from $131 thousand for 1999.

Noninterest Expense. Union's noninterest expense decreased $121,000, or
1.2%, to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $10.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Salaries increased $260,000,
or 6.1%, to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $4.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, reflecting normal salary
activity and severance pay to three former CSBT employees whose jobs were
eliminated as a result of the merger and the conversion of their EDP
processing to Union Bank. Pension and employee benefits increased $40
thousand or 3.7% to $1.12 million for the year ended December 31, 2000,
from $1.08 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 mainly due to the
increase in the accrual for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan caused by
anticipated increases in future salaries and the performance decline in the
underlying investment instruments. Office occupancy expense increased $26
thousand, or 4.8%, to $560,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, from
$535,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Equipment expense decreased
$131 thousand to $994 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2000, from
$1.1 million for 1999 primarily resulting from decreased depreciation cost
on computer equipment and software purchases which are depreciated as an
expense over a time period of three to five years.

Other operating expense includes approximately $500 thousand for the year
ended December 31, 1999 and $1,900 for 2000, for expenses related to the
merger, including legal and advisory fees. The other one time only expense
in 1999 was for Year 2000 preparations. Union had $59 thousand of non-
payroll-related expenses in 1999 and $1.5 thousand in 2000. Netting out
these one-time only expenses would leave $2.77 million of other operating
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $2.53 million for
1999 or a 9.4% increase. The increase was mainly attributable to the
listing of the Company on the American Stock Exchange, increases in State
franchise taxes paid, FDIC assessments paid, communications expense,
charitable contributions, training expense, travel expense, and fees paid
to the Small Business Administration.

Income Tax Expense. Union's income tax expense increased by $10,000, or
0.5%, to $1.825 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, from $1.815
million for 1999 mainly due to increased taxable income offset by the low
income housing and historic rehabilitation credits that are available to us
in both the 2000 and 1999 tax years related to our partnership investments
in low income housing projects sponsored by Housing Vermont in our market
area. Our effective tax rate for 2000 was 27.5% compared to 30.8% for 1999.

Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998.

Interest and Dividend Income. Union's interest and dividend income
increased by $242,000, or 1.07%, to $22.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, from $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Average earning assets increased by $17.9 million, or 7.0%, to $274.6
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $256.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. Average loans were $202.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 up from $194.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Increases in commercial, construction and real estate
secured loans were partially offset by a decrease in average municipal
loans. Decreases in loan interest rates led by the average prime rate for
1999 being 7.9%, down from 8.35% in 1998, and ever increasing competition,
and the lower volume of municipal loans mainly accounted for the decrease
in loan interest income of $201,000 or 1.1%.

The average balance of investment securities (including mortgage-backed
securities) increased by $9.4 million, or 18.3%, to $61.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999, from $51.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. Lower interest rates during 1999 partially offset the
volume increase in the investment portfolio as total interest and dividend
income was only up 13.5%. Union deliberately kept the investment maturity
window shorter in 1999 in order to be able to more quickly take advantage
of an increase in interest rates in the future. The average level of
federal funds sold decreased slightly by $195,000, or 2.2%, to $8.6 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $8.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The average balances invested in interest-bearing
deposits increased to $2.2 million at December 31, 1999 from $1.5 million,
or 48.8%, at December 31, 1999. These deposits are FDIC insured and were an
under-utilized investment vehicle until 1998.

Interest Expense. Union's interest expense decreased by $131,000, or 1.4%,
to $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $9.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998. Average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $12.7 million, or 6.0% to $225.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, from $213.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1998. Average time deposits decreased $2.7 million, or 2.6%, to $98.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $101.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The average balances for NOW accounts
increased by $3.7 million to $34.7 million for the year ended December 31,
1999, from $31 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The average
balances in savings and money market accounts grew to $87.4 million in 1999
from $75.6 million in 1998 or a 15.6% increase. Lower interest rates
prevailed for all interest bearing liabilities for the current year.

Noninterest Income. Union's noninterest income decreased $343,000, or
11.8%, to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $2.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The results for the period
reflected a net gain of $40 thousand from the sale of loans compared to a
net gain of $302 thousand from these sales during 1998. The net gain on
Sale of Securities was $3 thousand for 1999 compared to $150 thousand for
1998. These changes can be explained by management's decision to retain in
portfolio a higher percentage of loans and securities that could be sold
due to the dropping interest rate environment and the reinvestment rates
available. Service fees (sources of which include deposit fees, loan
servicing fees, and ATM fees) increased by $83,000, or 3.9%, to $2.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $2.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1998. Trust income increased from $166,000 in 1999
from $120,000 in 1998 or a 37.7% increase. Other noninterest income
decreased by $62,000, or 32.2%, to $131,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999, from $193,000 for the previous year due mainly to the decrease in
Gain on Mortgage Servicing Rights because we decided to hold more loans
generated in portfolio in 1999 due to the rate environment.

Noninterest Expense. Union's noninterest expense increased $787,000, or
8.5%, to $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $9.3
million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Salaries increased $123,000,
or 3%, to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $4.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1998, reflecting normal salary
activity. Pension and employee benefits increased $25 thousand or 2.4% or
$1.08 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $1.06 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 mainly due to the increase in the accrual
for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan caused by anticipated increases in
future salaries and the performance decline in the underlying investment
instruments. Office occupancy expense increased $32 thousand, or 6.4%, to
$535,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $503,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998. Equipment expense increased $120 thousand to $1.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $1 million for 1998
primarily resulting from increased depreciation cost on computer equipment
and software purchases which are depreciated as an expense over a time
period of three to five years.

Other operating expense includes $500,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999, for expenses related to the merger, including legal and advisory
fees, compared to $34 thousand during 1998. The other one time only expense
in both 1999 and 1998 was for Year 2000 preparations. Union had $59
thousand of non-payroll-related expenses in 1999 and $18 thousand in 1998.
Netting out these one-time only expenses would leave $2.53 million of other
operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $2.55
million for 1998 or a 2.8% decrease.

Income Tax Expense. Union's income tax expense decreased by $240,000, or
11.7%, to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, from $2.05
million for 1998 mainly due to the low income housing and historic
rehabilitation credits that are available to us for the 1999 tax year
relating to our partnership investment in a low income housing project
sponsored by Housing Vermont in our market area. Our effective tax rate for
1999 was 30.8% compared to 31.1% for 1998.

                             FINANCIAL CONDITION

At December 31, 2000, Union had total consolidated assets of $303 million,
including net loans and loans held for sale of $222 million, deposits of
$259 million and shareholders' equity of $35 million. Based on the most
recent information published by the Vermont Banking Commissioner, in terms
of total assets at December 31, 1999, Union Bank ranked as the 11th largest
institution of the 26 commercial banks and savings institutions
headquartered in Vermont and Citizens ranked 20th.

Union's total assets increased by $7.9 million or 2.7% to $303.4 million at
December 31, 2000 from $295.5 million at December 31, 1999. Total net loans
and loans held for sale increased by $15.4 million or 7.5% to $221.9
million or 73.1% of total assets at December 31, 2000 as compared to $206.5
million or 69.9% of total assets at December 31, 1999, due to increases of
$4.8 million in commercial real estate loans, $5.9 million increase in real
estate loans, $4.3 million increase in commercial loans, $2.7 million
increase in municipal loans, partially offset by a $3.3 million decrease in
loans to consumers. Cash and Due from banks decreased from $11.6 million to
$10.4 million between year ends due to Y2K liquidity buildup at December
31, 1999. Federal funds sold decreased approximately $2.4 million or 69.2%
to $1.1 million at December 31, 2000 from $3.5 million at December 31,
1999, which was primarily attributable to an increase in loans. Total
deposits increased $1.1 million or 0.4% to $258.7 million at December 31,
2000 from $257.6 million at December 31, 1999. A $5.4 million or 5.9%
decrease in money market and savings accounts to $85.9 million from $91.3
million was offset by an increase in time deposits of $5.1 million or 5.4%
raising time deposits to $100.9 million at December 31, 2000 from $95.8
million at December 31, 1999. This change was partially Y2K related as
depositors were willing to commit their funds to term deposits once again.
Total borrowings increased approximately $3.5 million to $6.4 million at
December 31, 2000 from $2.9 million at December 31, 1999 due to the match
funding of certain loan commitments and the slow down in deposit growth.

Total equity increased by $2.9 million or 9.1% to $35.2 million at December
31, 2000 from $32.2 million at December 31, 1999 as a result of a decrease
of $1.1 million in the net unrealized holding loss on securities available-
for-sale and dividend payments of $3.0 million which were offset with net
income of $4.8 million and the exercise of employee stock options for
$2,000.

Loan Portfolio. Union's loan portfolio primarily consists of adjustable-
and fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family, multi-family
residential or commercial real estate. The composition of Union's gross
loan portfolio net of loans held for sale at December 31 for each of the
last five years was as follows:

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 $130.8 million residential mortgage portfolio,
approximately $48 million of which is serviced for unaffiliated third
parties at December 31, 2000. Additionally, Union originates commercial
loans under various SBA programs that provide an agency guarantee for a
portion of the loan amount. Union occasionally will sell 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. Union services
approximately $13.6 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans
that have been previously sold.

Total loans not held for sale have increased $14.4 million or 7.1% since
December 31, 1999. The majority of this increase is due to management's
decision to hold in portfolio many loans that could be sold on the
secondary market. This strategy will increase our interest margin and
combined with our increased deposit base and overall borrowing capacity has
not affected our liquidity adversely.

The following table breaks down by loan type the maturities of the loans
held in portfolio and held for sale as of December 31, 2000:

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 non-accrual status totaling $1.5 million at December 31,
2000 and $951,000 at December 31, 1999. The aggregate interest on non-
accrual loans not recognized through December 31, 2000 was $288,512,
through 1999 was $182,610, and through 1998 was $110,930.

Union had $2.9 million and $3.2 million in loans past due 90 days or more
and still accruing at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At December
31, 2000, Union had internally classified certain loans totaling $1.3
million and $1.6 million at December 31. 1999. 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 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 December 31, 2000, Union had acquired by foreclosure or through
repossession real estate worth $116,293, consisting of commercial property
and undeveloped land. The balance at December 31, 1999 was $26,667.

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. 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
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 years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997,
and 1996.

Investment Activities. At December 31, 2000, the reported value of
investment securities available-for-sale was $56.6 million or 18.7% of
assets. Union had no securities classified as held-to-maturity or trading.
The adoption of FASB No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities," has had an impact on our investment portfolio. This
accounting standard, effective for 1994 statements, requires banks to
recognize all appreciation or depreciation of the investment portfolio
either on the balance sheet or through the income statement even though a
gain or loss has not been realized. These changes require securities
classified as "trading securities" to be marked to market with any gain or
loss charged to income. Securities classified as "available-for-sale" are
marked to market with any gain or loss after taxes charged to the equity
portion of the balance sheet. Securities classified as "held-to-maturity"
are to be held at book value. The reported value of securities available-
for-sale at December 31, 2000 reflects a negative valuation adjustment of
$43 thousand. The offset of this adjustment, net of income tax effect, was
a $28 thousand decrease in Union's other comprehensive income component of

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, investing, 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 risk. 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 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 all 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 1999 for
a flat rate environment projected a Net Interest Income of $13.7 million
for 2000 compared to actual results of $14.2 million or a 3.6% difference.
Interest rates were up in 2000 almost equally on both interest earning
assets and liabilities. We had higher demand for loans than anticipated
which resulted in our percentage of interest-earning assets to total assets
increasing to 93.9% and we shifted resources from lower yielding assets to
loans. Our net interest margin for 2000 was 5.19% and our net interest
spread was 4.40%. Net income was projected to be $4.3 million compared to
actual results of $4.8 million. Of the $451 thousand difference, $369
thousand relates to the increase in net interest income offset by $2
thousand in merger-related expense, $18 thousand for American Stock
Exchange listing expenses, and $2 thousand of Y2K expense, which were not
included in our analysis as they are unusual, one time expenses. The other
unanticipated factor was the Company's investment in a low-income housing
project which generated $128 thousand in Federal Income Tax credits for
2000. Return on Assets was 1.61% compared to our projection of 1.46%.
Return on Equity was 14.22% compared to our projection of 13.08%. These two
ratios were higher based on higher net income as explained above and higher
average balances than anticipated.

The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support
financial instruments with credit risk. 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. (See Footnote 14 to the Financial Statements for details)

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 amounts 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.

The following tables show Union's rate sensitivity analysis as of December
31, 2000 and 1999:

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 next year end 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 year end prime rate of 9.5%; 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 both subsidiary banks are members of the FHLB,
Union has access to preapproved lines of credit up to 2.1% of total assets.
Union also has a $4 million short term preapproved line of credit with one
of their correspondent banks.

The Banks maintain IDEAL Way Lines of Credit with the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Boston. The total line available to Union Bank was $3,356,000 as of
December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The total line
available to Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company was $3,040,000 as of
both December 31, 2000 and 1999. There were no borrowings against these
lines of credit at December 31, 2000 and $667,000 at December 31, 1999.
Interest on these borrowings is chargeable at a rate determined by the
Federal Home Loan Bank and payable monthly. Should the Company utilize
these lines of credit, qualified portions of the loan and investment
portfolios would collateralize these borrowings.

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 net loan to deposit ratio, the 90 day and 1 year
maturity gaps and long term (>3 years) assets repricing compared to total
assets on a monthly basis. 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 83.9% of Union's time deposits 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 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. As of December 31, 2000, the most recent
notification from the FDIC categorized Union Bank and Citizens Savings Bank
& Trust Co. as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the banks must
maintain a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10%, Tier I risk-based
capital ratio of 6% and Tier I leverage ratio of 5%. (See Footnote 21 to
the Financial Statements for details on the individual banks' capital
ratios). Union's total risk based capital ratio is 17.62%, Tier 1 risk
based capital ratio is 16.27%, and Tier 1 leverage ratio is 11.74% as of
December 31, 2000. There are no conditions or events since the date of the
most recent notification that management believes might result in an
adverse change to either bank's or Union's regulatory capital category.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices. Union's consolidated financial
statements, included in this document, have been prepared in accordance
with 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.

On March 10, 2001 there were 3,029,729 shares of common stock outstanding
held by 730 shareholders of record. The number of shareholders does not
reflect the number of persons or entities who may hold the stock in nominee
or "street name."

Union common stock was listed on the American Stock Exchange on July 13,
2000. The Company's stock trades under the symbol UNB. Cranmer and Cranmer
of New York City are the market specialists for Union Bankshares, Inc.
stock. Prior to July 13, 2000 no broker made a market in Union common stock
and trading was sporadic. The trades that occurred cannot be characterized
as an established public trading market. The stock was traded from time to
time by holders in private transactions or through brokers, and information
on bid and ask prices was not publicly reported. Therefore, the stock
prices shown below for that period reflect only the transactions known to
management. Due to the limited information available, the stock prices
shown may not accurately reflect the actual market value of Union's common
