[KING GEORGE LETTERHEAD]
_____________, 1996
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting of
Shareholders of King George State Bank, Inc. ("King George") to be held at the
Main Office of King George located at 10045 Kings Highway, King George, Virginia
on Tuesday, August 20, 1996 at 7:00 p.m.
At this important meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on
the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 12, 1996, and a
related Plan of Share Exchange (collectively, the "Agreement") between the King
George and Union Bankshares Corporation ("Union"). Based in Bowling Green,
Virginia, Union is a bank holding company with $470.9 million in total assets at
March 31, 1996 and with its principal operations currently being conducted
through its two affiliate banks, Union Bank & Trust Company and Northern Neck
State Bank.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Union will exchange 5.5 shares of
its common stock for each share of common stock of King George held by you, with
cash being paid in lieu of issuing fractional shares. In addition, one member of
the Board of Directors of King George (Homer L. Hite) will be appointed by Union
to its Board of Directors as soon as practicable after consummation of the
affiliation. Union common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under
the symbol "UBSH." It is anticipated that the affiliation will become effective
during the latter part of the third quarter of this year. Following the
consummation of the affiliation with Union, King George will continue to operate
as a separate affiliate bank within the Union system.
Your Board of Directors has retained the investment banking firm of
Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. to act as its financial advisor in connection with
this transaction. As discussed in the accompanying Proxy Statement/Prospectus,
Scott & Stringfellow has delivered to the Board of Directors its written opinion
that, as of this date, the terms of the Agreement are fair from a financial
point of view to our shareholders.
King George shareholders will not recognize gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes to the extent Union common stock is received in the
affiliation in exchange for King George common stock, although the receipt of
cash in lieu of fractional shares will be taxable. Details of the proposed
transaction with Union are set forth in the accompanying Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, which you are urged to read carefully in its entirety.
Approval of the transaction with Union requires the affirmative vote of more
than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of common stock of King George.
Your Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Agreement and
the transaction with Union and believes that they are in the best interests of
King George and our shareholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends
that you VOTE FOR the Agreement.
WE HOPE YOU CAN ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN
TO ATTEND, PLEASE COMPLETE, SIGN AND DATE THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD AND RETURN IT
PROMPTLY IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF THE
NUMBER OF SHARES YOU OWN.
We look forward to seeing you at the Special Meeting.
Sincerely yours,
E. R. MORRIS, JR. HOMER L. HITE
Chairman of the Board President

THE PARTIES
UNION. Union is a multi-bank holding company serving the Central and
Northern Neck regions of Virginia through its two banking affiliates, Union Bank
& Trust Company ("Union Bank") and Northern Neck State Bank ("Northern Neck
Bank") and its non-bank subsidiary, Union Investment Services, Inc. Both Union

Northern Neck Bank serves the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula regions through
four locations in Warsaw, Montross and Tappahannock. The Affiliate Banks have a
long history of service, with Union Bank and Northern Neck Bank having been
organized in 1902 and 1909, respectively. At March 31, 1996, Union had total
assets of $470.9 million, total deposits of $385.1 million and total
shareholders' equity of $50.4 million. Union's principal executive offices are

Financial Data," "Selected Financial Data," "Information Concerning King George"
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
THE SPECIAL MEETING
TIME, PLACE AND PURPOSE. The Special Meeting will be held on August
20, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. at the Main Office of King George located at 10045 Kings
Highway, King George , Virginia 22485. At the Special Meeting, King George
shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the
Agreement, attached hereto as Appendix I.
RECORD DATE. Only holders of record of King George Common Stock at
the close of business on July 9, 1996 (the "Record Date"), will be entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. At the Record Date, there were
approximately 244 holders of record of the 50,000 shares
of King George Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting. See "The King George Special Meeting."
TERMS OF THE AFFILIATION
The Affiliation provides for the exchange of each outstanding share
of King George Common Stock for Union Common Stock. Union will then serve as the
parent bank holding company for King George, which will continue to carry on its
banking business in substantially the same manner as before the Affiliation. In
addition, Mr. Homer L. Hite will be appointed by Union to serve on the Union
Board of Directors as soon as practicable after the Affiliation.
At the Effective Date of the Affiliation, each outstanding share of
King George Common Stock will be exchanged for 5.5 shares of Union Common Stock
(the "Exchange Ratio"), and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Cash (without
interest) will be paid to King George shareholders in lieu of the issuance of
any fractional shares in an amount equal to the fraction of a share of Union
Common Stock to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied
by the average of the closing prices of Union Common Stock as reported on the
Nasdaq National Market during the ten trading days immediately preceding the
Effective Date. King George has no right to terminate the Affiliation or to
obtain an adjustment in the Exchange Ratio solely as a result of a decrease in
the market value of Union Common Stock below a specified level. Similarly, Union
has no right to terminate the Affiliation or obtain an adjustment in the
Exchange Ratio solely as a result of an increase in the market value of Union
Common Stock above a specified level. See "The Affiliation - Terms of the
Affiliation" and "The Affiliation - Interests of Certain Persons in the
Affiliation."
Shareholders of King George are entitled to exercise their
dissenters' rights with respect to the Affiliation. See "The
Affiliation - Rights of Dissenting Shareholders."
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KING GEORGE
The Board of Directors of King George has unanimously approved the
Affiliation, including the Agreement. The Board of Directors believes that the
Affiliation is fair to and in the best interests of the shareholders of King
George and recommends a VOTE FOR the Affiliation. See "The Affiliation -
Background of and Reasons for the Affiliation."
OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR
The Board of Directors of King George has retained Scott &
Stringfellow, an investment banking firm experienced in the valuation of
financial institutions and their securities in connection with merger and
acquisition transactions, to act as its financial advisor in connection with the
Affiliation. Scott & Stringfellow has rendered its opinion to the Board of
Directors of King George that the terms of the Affiliation are fair from a
financial point of view to the King George shareholders. The full text of Scott
& Stringfellow's opinion, including the assumptions made and other matters
considered and limitations on the review undertaken, updated to the date hereof,
is set forth as Appendix II to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Shareholders are
urged to read and consider the opinion in its entirety. See "The Affiliation -
Opinion of Financial Advisor."
VOTE REQUIRED
Approval of the Affiliation requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of King George Common
Stock outstanding on the Record Date. As of the Record Date, directors and
executive officers of King George and their affiliates beneficially owned
approximately 11,992 shares of King George Common Stock, or approximately 24.0%
of the shares of King George Common Stock outstanding on such date. The
directors and executive officers of King George have indicated their intention
to vote their shares of King George Common Stock in favor of the Affiliation.
See "The King George Special Meeting - Vote Required."
A FAILURE TO VOTE, EITHER BY NOT RETURNING THE ENCLOSED PROXY OR BY
CHECKING THE "ABSTAIN" BOX THEREON, AND BROKER "NON-VOTES" WILL HAVE THE SAME
EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT.
EFFECTIVE DATE
The Affiliation will become effective at the date and time set forth
on the Certificate of Share Exchange issued by the Virginia State Corporation
Commission (the "Effective Date"). The Effective Date will occur as soon as
practicable following the date that all conditions specified in the Agreement
have been satisfied or waived. The Affiliation is expected to be made effective
on or about September 1, 1996. Union and King George each has the right, acting
unilaterally, to terminate the Agreement should the Affiliation not be
consummated by December 31, 1996. See "The Affiliation - The Effective Date."
DISTRIBUTION OF STOCK CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENT FOR FRACTIONAL SHARES
As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Union shall cause
Registrar and Transfer Company, acting as the exchange agent (the "Exchange
Agent"), to mail to each King George shareholder (other than dissenting
shareholders) a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in order to
surrender the certificates representing shares of King George Common Stock in
exchange for certificates representing shares of Union Common Stock. Cash
(without interest) will be paid to King George shareholders in lieu of the
issuance of any fractional shares in an amount equal to the fraction of a share
of Union Common Stock to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled
multiplied by the average of the closing prices of Union Common Stock as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market during the ten trading days immediately
preceding the Effective Date. See "The Affiliation - Surrender of Stock
Certificates."
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
LeClair Ryan, counsel for Union, has delivered an opinion that, among
other things, (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by King George shareholders
to the extent they receive shares of Union Common Stock solely in exchange for
their King George Common Stock, (ii) the aggregate tax basis of Union Common
Stock received by a King George shareholder will equal the aggregate tax basis
of the King George Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor by such
shareholder (reduced by any amount allocable to fractional share interests for
which cash is received), and (iii) the holding period of the Union Common Stock
received will generally include the holding period of the King George Common
Stock surrendered if the King George Common Stock is held as a capital asset at
the Effective Date. For a more complete description of the federal income tax
consequences of the Affiliation, see "The Affiliation - Certain Federal Income
Tax Consequences."
DUE TO THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
AFFILIATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT EACH KING GEORGE SHAREHOLDER CONSULT HIS OR
HER OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE AFFILIATION WITH
RESPECT TO THEIR PARTICULAR TAX SITUATION.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE AFFILIATION
Certain members of King George's management, as well as certain
members of the King George Board of Directors, have interests in the Affiliation
in addition to their interests as shareholders of King George. These include,
among other things, provisions in the Agreement relating to indemnification of
directors and officers of King George, appointment of a King George director to
the Board of Directors of Union, and eligibility for certain Union employee
benefits. In each case, the King George Board was aware of their potential
interests, and considered them.
Directors. Union has agreed to cause Homer L. Hite, a member of the
King George Board of Directors, to become a member of the Union Board of
Directors as soon as practicable after consumation of the Affiliation.
thereafter. Mr. Hite will also be appointed Senior Vice President of Union and
will continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of King George.
Union currently pays each director $400 for attendance at each Board meeting.
Assumption of Homer L. Hite's Employment Agreement. Union has agreed
to assume and honor the employment agreement between King George and Homer L.
Hite, based on his agreement that the Affiliation will not constitute a "change
of control" of King George. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr.
Hite would be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to two times his annual
base salary (currently $90,000) in the event of a change of control of King
George. The employment agreement is renewable on an annual basis on its
anniversary date of June 11. The change of control provision was not waived by
Mr. Hite with respect to any future change of control of Union.
Assumption of Salary Continuation Agreements. Union has agreed to
assume and honor two salary continuation agreements between King George and
Homer L. Hite dated October 15, 1979 and September 1, 1985, respectively. Each
agreement is funded by a life insurance policy on the life of Homer L. Hite, and
provides for certain amounts to be paid to Mr. Hite upon his retirement, or to
Mr. Hite's beneficiaries upon his death while still in the employ of King
George.
Assumption of Deferred Compensation Agreements. Union has also agreed
to assume certain deferred compensation agreements between King George and its
directors. Such agreements provide for payment of certain monthly sums to
certain directors of King George (or designated beneficiaries of such
directors), for a period of fifteen years after the death or retirement of such
director at age 65. Such agreements may, in King George's discretion, be funded
by life insurance policies on the lives of the covered directors. Such
agreements are not assignable by the directors for whom such agreements are in
place and, by their terms, are not contracts of employment.
See "The Affiliation - Interests of Certain Persons in the
Affiliation" and "The Affiliation - Terms of the Affiliation."
REGULATORY APPROVALS
The Affiliation is subject to the prior approval of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act") and the Virginia State
Corporation Commission (the "Virginia SCC"). Applications with the Federal
Reserve and the Virginia SCC have been filed by Union. Each application has been
accepted for processing. There can be no assurance that the approval of the
Federal Reserve or the Virginia SCC will be obtained or as to the timing or
conditions of such approvals. See "The Affiliation - Regulatory Approvals."
CONDITIONS TO CONSUMMATION OF THE AFFILIATION; TERMINATION
Consummation of the Affiliation is contingent upon the following
unwaivable conditions: (i) receipt of the approval of the shareholders of King
George solicited hereby; (ii) receipt of an opinion of counsel as to the
tax-free nature of the Affiliation (except for cash received in lieu of
fractional shares or upon the exercise of dissenters' rights); and (iii)
approval of the Federal Reserve and the Virginia SCC. The receipt by Union of an
opinion from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP that the Affiliation may be accounted for
under the pooling of interests accounting method is a condition to consummation
of the Affiliation that may be waived by Union. The Affiliation is also subject
to satisfaction or waiver of other conditions. See "The Affiliation - Conditions
to the Affiliation" and "The Affiliation - Regulatory Approvals."
The Agreement may be terminated and the Affiliation abandoned
notwithstanding shareholder approval (i) by mutual agreement of the Boards of
Directors of Union and King George or (ii) by either Union or King George if the
Effective Date has not occurred by December 31, 1996, or if certain specified
events occur. See "The Affiliation - Waivers, Amendment and Termination."
EFFECT OF THE AFFILIATION ON THE RIGHTS OF KING GEORGE SHAREHOLDERS
Upon consummation of the Affiliation, King George shareholders will
become shareholders of Union. While the rights of the former shareholders of
King George will continue to be governed by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act
(the "Virginia SCA") since Union is a Virginia corporation, the rights of King
George shareholders will also be as provided for under the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Union. The provisions of the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Union differ in certain material respects from the
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of King George. See "Comparative Rights of
Shareholders."
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
It is intended that the Affiliation will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests. It is a condition to Union's obligation to consummate the
Affiliation that it receive an opinion from its independent auditors that the
Affiliation will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. See "The
Affiliation - Accounting Treatment."
RIGHTS OF DISSENT AND APPRAISAL
Each holder of King George shares may dissent from the Affiliation
and is entitled to the rights and remedies of dissenting shareholders provided
in Article 15 of the Virginia SCA, subject to compliance with the procedures set
forth therein, including the right to appraisal of his or her stock. A copy of
Article 15 is attached as Appendix V to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and a
summary thereof is included under "The Affiliation - Rights of Dissenting
Shareholders."
RESALES OF UNION COMMON STOCK
Shares of Union Common Stock received in the Affiliation will be
freely transferable by the holders thereof, except for those shares held by
those holders who may be deemed to be "affiliates" (generally including
directors, certain executive officers and major shareholders) of King George
under applicable federal securities laws. See "The Affiliation Resales of Union
Common Stock."
MARKET PRICE INFORMATION

National Market under the symbol "UBSH." The closing sales price of Union Common
Stock on March 12, 1996, the last full trading day preceding the pubic
announcement of the execution of the Agreement, as reported on the Nasdaq

SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO OBTAIN CURRENT MARKET QUOTATIONS FOR UNION COMMON
STOCK.

financial institutions or to acquire assets and deposits that will allow Union
to enter new markets or increase market share in existing markets. Management
intends to pursue acquisition opportunities in strategic markets where its
managerial, operational and capital resources will enhance the performance of
acquired institutions and may, after the date of this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, enter into agreements to acquire one or more financial
institutions. See "Business of Union - Union's Acquisition Program."
COMPARATIVE PER SHARE INFORMATION

statements of Union and King George and the respective notes thereto that are

DATE, PLACE AND TIME
The Special Meeting will be held at the Main Office of King George
located at 10045 Kings Highway, King George, Virginia 22485 on Tuesday, August
20, 1996 at 7:00 p.m.
RECORD DATE
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on July 9, 1996,
(the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting
or any adjournment thereof. At the close of business on the Record Date, there
were 50,000 shares of King George Common Stock outstanding, held by 244
shareholders of record.
VOTE REQUIRED
Each share of King George Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date
entitles the holder to cast one vote upon each matter properly submitted at the
Special Meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of more than two-thirds of
the shares of King George Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, in
person or by proxy, is required to approve the Agreement.
As of the Record Date, directors and executive officers of King
George and their affiliates beneficially owned an aggregate of 11,992 shares of
King George Common Stock, or 24.0% of the shares of King George Common Stock
outstanding on such date. Directors and executive officers of King George have
indicated their intention to vote their shares of King George Common Stock in
favor of the Affiliation.
A FAILURE TO VOTE, EITHER BY NOT RETURNING THE ENCLOSED PROXY OR BY
CHECKING THE "ABSTAIN" BOX THEREON, AND BROKER "NON-VOTES" WILL HAVE THE SAME
EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT.
VOTING AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES.
Shareholders of King George are requested to complete, date and sign
the accompanying form of proxy and return it promptly to King George in the
enclosed envelope. If a proxy is properly executed and returned in time for
voting, it will be voted as indicated thereon. IF A PROXY IS SIGNED AND RETURNED
WITHOUT INDICATING ANY VOTING INSTRUCTIONS, SHARES OF KING GEORGE COMMON STOCK
REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED FOR THE AGREEMENT.
A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted by giving written
notice of revocation to King George by executing and delivering a substitute
proxy to King George or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person.
If a King George shareholder desires to revoke a proxy by written notice, such
notice should be mailed for receipt or delivered, on or prior to the meeting
date, to Homer L. Hite, President, King George State Bank, Inc., 10045 Kings
Highway, King George, Virginia 22485.
If a sufficient number of signed proxies enabling the persons named
as proxies to vote in favor of the Affiliation are not received by King George
by the time scheduled for the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies may
propose one or more adjournments of a meeting to permit continued solicitation
of proxies with respect to such approval. If an adjournment is proposed, unless
contrary instructions are contained in the proxy, the persons named as proxies
will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies which are entitled to be
voted in favor of the Affiliation and against such adjournment those proxies
containing instructions to vote against approval of the Affiliation. Adjournment
of the meetings will be proposed only if the Board Directors of King George
believes that additional time to solicit proxies might permit the receipt of
sufficient votes to approve the Affiliation. It is anticipated that any such
adjournment would be for a relatively short period of time, but in no event for
more than 120 days. Any shareholder may revoke such shareholder's proxy during
any period of adjournment in the manner described above.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
King George will bear the costs of its solicitation of proxies.
Solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph or personally by
directors, officers and employees at King George, none of whom will receive
additional compensation for performing such services. Union shall pay all of the
expenses of printing and mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors of King George has unanimously approved the
Agreement and believes that the proposed transaction is fair to and in the best
interests of King George and its shareholders. The Board of Directors of King
George unanimously recommends that King George shareholders VOTE FOR approval of
the Agreement.
In making its recommendation, the Board of Directors of King George
has considered, among other things, the opinion of Scott & Stringfellow that
Union's proposal is fair to King George shareholders from a financial point of
view. See "The Affiliation - Opinion of Financial Advisor."
THE AFFILIATION
The following is a summary description of the material terms of the
Affiliation, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement
which is attached as Appendix I hereto. All holders of King George Common Stock
are urged to read the Agreement in its entirety.
BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE AFFILIATION
In early 1995, Mr. Hite had informal discussions with Scott & Stringfellow,
a Richmond based investment banking firm which he knew to have expertise
regarding the evaluation of affiliations between financial institutions. In
March 1995, as part of an evaluation of King George's long range planning, Mr.
Hite's accepted Scott & Stringfellow's offer to provide an analysis of some area
financial institutions to determine a strategy for evaluating any affiliation or
purchase offer that might come to King George in the future. Mr. Hite explained
that King George would be interested only in becoming a part of an organization
which shared its philosophy of high quality community banking and improved stock
liquidity for shareholders. At that time, Scott & Stringfellow began and pursued
a comprehensive review of possible affiliation candidates in the state, making
some general recommendations to Mr. Hite in October 1995.
During the same period that Mr. Hite was making inquiries with Scott &
Stringfellow, Mr. E. Peyton Motley, Executive Vice President of Union and
President of Northern Neck Bank, wrote a letter dated May 3, 1995 to Mr. Hite
explaining that Northern Neck
had taken an option on a parcel of land in King George County with the intent of
establishing a branch. In the letter, Mr. Motley indicated that Union would be
willing to commence discussions to determine if there was any interest in an
affiliation between the two organizations. The directors of King George were
advised of the letter on May 16, 1995. Mr. Morris, Chairman of the King George
Board, and Mr. Hite were authorized to pursue preliminary discussions with
Union.
Additional discussion ensued and on January 11, 1996, Scott &
Stringfellow met with the directors of King George to review the analysis of
Union as a potential affiliation candidate.
On February 8, 1996, Mr. Hite received a letter from Mr. G. William Beale,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Union, formally indicating Union's
interest in affiliating with King George through a tax free stock exchange
whereby King George would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union. Mr. Hite
indicated that he would present the terms to his board for consideration. On
February 14, 1996, Scott & Stringfellow met again with the directors of King
George to discuss a preliminary offer of affiliation with Union (the
"Affiliation"). The directors agreed upon an exchange rate and Scott &
Stringfellow was instructed to convey that rate to Union. On March 11, 1996, Mr.
Hite and counsel to King George met with Messrs. Beale and Motley and counsel to
Union to negotiate the terms of a definitive agreement (the "Agreement"). The
Agreement was completed and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of
King George on March 12, 1996. The Agreement was executed on the evening of
March 12, 1996, and a public announcement regarding the transaction was made the
following morning.
The Board of King George relied upon the advice of Scott &
Stringfellow in analyzing the Affiliation and recommending the Agreement to the
King George shareholders. Scott & Stringfellow determined that the Affiliation
is fair to the King George shareholders, from a financial point of view. See
"Opinion of Financial Advisor" below for a more detailed analysis of the
Affiliation from the point of view of King George's financial advisor.
In deciding to enter into the Agreement with Union, the King George
Board considered a number of factors, but it did not assign any relative or
specific weight to the factors considered. The factors considered included the
following: the price offered was approximately 50% higher than the trading price
per share of King George Common Stock prior to the offer and represented a
significant multiple of both the book value and earnings per share of King
George Common Stock; Union Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market
and would provide a more liquid investment vehicle for King George shareholders;
Union pays a higher dividend yield than King George; Union has an excellent
reputation for effective management of its financial institutions and a history
of favorable and consistent financial results; King George would be permitted to
designate a representative to serve on the Union Board; the market area of Union
is much broader and more diverse that King George's, thus reducing the risks
associated with operating primarily in a single market such as King George
County; Union indicated that King George would retain a substantial amount of
autonomy in its operations; the Affiliation will provide King George with
greater resources and a wider variety of products; and the transaction would be
substantially tax-free to King George shareholders to the extent they receive
Union Common Stock in exchange for their shares of King George Common Stock. In
summation, the King George Board believes that the banking industry will
experience significant changes in the next few years, and a larger institution
with a management philosophy similar to King George's (and Union's) will be
better equipped to adjust to this fast-changing and competitive industry.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the officers, and employees of King
George will not change as a result of the Affiliation. Union, as the sole
shareholder of King George after the Effective Date, will have the power to
elect the directors of King George.
Based on the factors described above, the Board of Directors of King
George unanimously approved the Agreement, because it determined that the
Affiliation was in the best interests of King George and its shareholders. The
King George directors have all committed to vote the King George shares under
their control in favor of the Affiliation to the extent of their fiduciary duty
and to encourage other King George shareholders to do likewise.
THE KING GEORGE DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT THE KING GEORGE
SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT.
OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR
The King George Board of Directors retained the investment banking
firm of Scott & Stringfellow to evaluate the financial terms of the Affiliation,
and Scott & Stringfellow has rendered its opinion to the Board of Directors of
King George that the terms of the Affiliation are fair from a financial point of
view. In developing its opinion, Scott & Stringfellow reviewed and analyzed: (1)
the Affiliation Agreement; (2) the Registration Statement; (3) King George's
audited financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 1995; (4)
King George's unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, and other internal information relating to King George
prepared by King George's management; (5) information regarding the trading
markets for King George Common Stock and Union Common Stock and the price ranges
within which the respective stocks have traded; (6) the relationship of prices
paid to relevant financial data such as net worth, earnings, deposits and assets
in certain bank and bank holding company mergers and acquisitions in Virginia in
recent years; (7) Union's annual reports to stockholders and its financial
statements for the three years ended December 31, 1995; and (8) Union's
unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 and other internal information relating to Union prepared by Union's
management. Scott & Stringfellow has discussed with members of King George's and
Union's management the background of the Affiliation, the reasons and basis for
the Affiliation, and the business and future prospects of King George and Union
individually and as combined entity. No instructions or limitations were given
or imposed in connection with the scope of or the examination or investigations
made by Scott & Stringfellow in arriving at its findings. Finally, Scott &
Stringfellow has conducted such other studies, analysis and investigations
particularly of the banking industry, and considered such other information as
it deemed appropriate, the material portion of which is described below. A copy
of Scott & Stringfellow's opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made,
matters considered and qualifications made on the review undertaken, is attached
as Appendix II hereto and should be read in its entirety.
Scott & Stringfellow evaluated the financial terms of the transaction
using standard valuation methods, including discounted cash flow analysis,
market comparable analysis, comparable acquisition analysis, and dilution
analysis.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Scott & Stringfellow performed a
discounted cash flow analysis under various projections to estimate the fair
market value of King George Common Stock. Among other things, Scott &
Stringfellow considered a range of asset and earnings growth for King George of
between 3% and 5% and required equity capital level of 8.00% assets. A range of
discount rates from 12% to 14% were applied to the cash flows resulting from the
projections during the first
five years and the residual values. The residual values were estimated by
capitalizing the projected final year earnings by the discount rates, less the
projected long-term growth rate of King George's earnings. The discount rates,
growth rates and capital levels were chosen based on what Scott & Stringfellow,
in its judgment, considered to be appropriate taking into account, among other
things, King George's past and current financial performance and condition, the
general level of inflation, rates of return for fixed income and equity
securities in the marketplace generally and particularly in the banking
industry. The discounted cash flow analysis indicated a reference range of
$112.36 to $137.49 per share for King George Common Stock. These values compare
to the value of $148.50 per share of consideration for each share of King George
Common Stock. Accordingly, the present value of King George Common Stock was
calculated at less than the value of the consideration to be received from Union
pursuant to the Affiliation Agreement.
Comparable Acquisition Analysis. Scott & Stringfellow compared the
relationship of prices paid to relevant financial data such as tangible net
worth, assets, deposits and earnings in 17 bank and bank holding company mergers
and acquisitions in Virginia since January 1, 1993, representing all such
transactions known to Scott & Stringfellow to have occurred during this period
involving bank and bank holding companies in Virginia, with the proposed
Affiliation and found the consideration to be received by King George's
shareholders from Union to be within the relevant pricing ranges acceptable for
such recent transactions. Specifically, based upon the most recent transactions
either closed or announced in Virginia since January 1, 1993, other than the
Affiliation, the average price to tangible book value in these transactions was
2.07 times, compared with 1.64 times for the Affiliation, the average price to
earnings ratio was 19.7 times, compared to 13.3 times for the Affiliation, the
average deal price to deposits was 19.7%, compared with 17.3% for the
Affiliation, and the average deal price to assets was 17.5%, compared with 15.4%
for the Affiliation. For purposes of computing the information with respect to
the Affiliation, $148.50 per share of consideration for each share of King
George Common Stock was used.
Analysis of Union and Virginia Bank Group. Scott & Stringfellow
analyzed the performance and financial condition of Union relative to the
Virginia Bank Group, which includes the following Virginia based financial
institutions: Crestar Financial Corporation, Central Fidelity Banks, Inc.,
Central Virginia Bankshares, F&M National Corporation, First Patriot Bankshares
Corp., First Virginia Banks, Inc., George Mason Bankshares, Inc., Jefferson
Bankshares, Inc., James River Bankshares, Inc., MainStreet BankGroup Inc.,
Premier Bankshares Corporation, and Signet Banking Corporation. Among the
financial information compared was information relating to tangible equity to
assets, loans to deposits, net interest margin, nonperforming assets, total
assets, non-accrual loans, and efficiency ratio, as well as a comparison of
common stock liquidity. Additional information compared for the period ended
March 31, 1996, was (i) price to tangible book value ratio which was 1.74x for
Union, compared to an average of 1.79x for the Virginia Bank Group, (ii) price
to earnings ratio which was 13.6x for Union, compared to an average of 13.1x for
the Virginia Bank Group, (iii) return on assets which was 1.4% for Union,
compared to an average of 1.2% for the Virginia Bank Group, (iv) return on
equity which was 13.6% for Union, compared to an average of 13.3% for the
Virginia Bank Group, and (v) a dividend yield of 2.3% for Union, compared to an
average of 3.2% for the Virginia Bank Group. Overall, in the opinion of Scott &
Stringfellow, Union's operating performance, financial condition, and liquidity
for its Common Stock were comparable to the Virginia Bank Group average and
Union's market value was reasonable when compared to the Virginia Bank Group.
Accordingly, King George stockholders shall receive Union Common Stock that is
reasonably valued when compared to the Virginia Bank Group.
Dilution Analysis. Based upon publicly available financial
information on King George and Union, Scott & Stringfellow considered the effect
of the transaction on the book value, earnings, and market value of King George
and Union. The immediate effect on Union -- assuming minimal cost savings of 10%
of King George's non-interest expense -- was to increase earnings by $.03 per
share or 1.4% and to increase book value by $.09 or 0.6%. The effect on King
George under the same assumptions is to decrease earnings $.38 per share or
3.4%, to decrease book value by $5.67 per share or 6.3%, to increase dividends
by $.78 or 33.9%, and to increase the March 12, 1996 market value of King George
of $78.00 per share to $148.50. This dilution analysis does not take into
account the longer term benefits for the combined companies resulting from the
combination. Scott & Stringfellow concluded from this analysis that the
transaction would have a significant positive effect on King George and the King
George shareholders in that, historical dividends per share of Union Common
Stock to be received by the King George stockholders, after giving effect to the
Exchange Ratio, would represent a substantial increase in the historical
dividends per share of King George Common Stock, although there can be no
assurance that pro forma amounts are indicative of future results. See
"Comparative Per Share Information."
The summary set forth above includes the material factors considered,
but does not purport to be a complete description of the presentation by Scott &
Stringfellow to the King George Board or of the analyses performed by Scott &
Stringfellow. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various
determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial
analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances
and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis
or summary description. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors
summarized above, Scott & Stringfellow believes that its analyses must be
considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the
factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, would
create an incomplete view of the process underlying the preparation of its
opinion. As a whole, these various analyses, contributed to Scott &
Stringfellow's opinion that the terms of the Affiliation are fair from a
financial point of view to King George shareholders.
Scott & Stringfellow is a full service investment banking and
brokerage firm headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, that provides a broad array
of services to corporations, financial institutions and state and local
governments. The Financial Institutions Group of Scott & Stringfellow actively
works with financial institutions in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, the
District of Columbia, and West Virginia on these and other matters. As part of
its investment banking practice, it is continually engaged in the valuation of
financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, and secondary distribution of listed and
unlisted securities. Scott & Stringfellow was selected by the King George Board
based upon its expertise and reputation in providing valuation and merger and
acquisition and advisory services to financial institutions.
In the ordinary course of business, Scott & Stringfellow makes a
market in Union Common Stock and trades such securities for its own account and
for the accounts of its customers.
In exchange for its services, Scott & Stringfellow will receive from
King George on the Effective Date of the Affiliation a fee of approximately
$50,000.
TERMS OF THE AFFILIATION
The Affiliation provides for the exchange of each outstanding share
of King George Common Stock for Union Common Stock. Union will then serve as the
parent bank holding company for King
George, which will continue to carry on its banking business in substantially
the same manner as before the Affiliation.
At the effective date of the Affiliation, each outstanding share of
King George Common Stock will be exchanged for 5.5 shares of Union Common Stock
(the "Exchange Ratio"), and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Cash (without
interest) will be paid to King George shareholders in lieu of the issuance of
any fractional shares in an amount equal to the fraction of a share of Union
Common Stock to which such shareholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by
the average of the closing prices of Union Common Stock as reported on the
Nasdaq National Market during the ten trading days immediately preceding the
Effective Date. King George has no right to terminate the Affiliation or to
obtain an adjustment in the Exchange Ratio solely as a result of a decrease in
the market value of Union Common Stock below a specified level. Similarly, Union
has no right to terminate the Affiliation or obtain an adjustment in the
Exchange Ratio solely as a result of an increase in the market value of Union
Common Stock above a specified level.
In addition, Mr. Homer L. Hite will be appointed by Union to serve
on the Union Board of Directors as soon as practicable after the Affiliation.
Mr. Hite will also be appointed as Senior Vice President of Union and will
continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of King George. See
"The Affiliation - Interests of Certain Persons in the Affiliation."
Shareholders of King George are entitled to exercise their
dissenters' rights with respect to the Affiliation. See "The Affiliation -
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders."
EFFECTIVE DATE
If the Affiliation is approved by the requisite vote of the
shareholders of King George and by the Federal Reserve and the Virginia SCC (see
"The Affiliation Regulatory Approvals") and other conditions to the Affiliation
are satisfied (or waived to the extent permitted by applicable law), the
Affiliation will be consummated and effected at the time a Certificate of Share
Exchange is issued by the Virginia SCC pursuant to the Virginia SCA. See "The
Affiliation - Representations and Warranties; Conditions to the Affiliation."
It is anticipated that the Effective Date will occur on or about
September 30, 1996.
SURRENDER OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Union shall cause
Registrar & Transfer Company, acting as the exchange agent (the "Exchange
Agent"), to mail to each King George shareholder (other than dissenting
shareholders) a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in order to
surrender the certificates representing shares of King George Common Stock in
exchange for certificates representing shares of Union Common Stock.
KING GEORGE SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND IN THEIR CERTIFICATES UNTIL
THEY RECEIVE SUCH INSTRUCTIONS.
Promptly after surrender of one or more certificates for King George
Common Stock, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the
holder of such certificates will receive a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares of Union Common Stock to which he or she is
entitled
and, where applicable, a check for the amount payable in cash in lieu of issuing
a fractional share. Lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed certificates will be
treated in accordance with the existing procedures of Union.
Cash (without interest) will be paid to King George shareholders in
lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in an amount equal to the fraction
of a share of Union Common Stock to which such shareholder would otherwise be
entitled multiplied by the average of the closing prices of Union Common Stock
as reported on the Nasdaq National Market during the ten trading days
immediately preceding the Effective Date.
After the Effective Date, King George shareholders will be entitled
to vote the number of shares of Union Common Stock into which their King George
Common Stock has been converted, regardless of whether they have surrendered
their King George certificates. The Agreement provides, however, that no
dividend or distribution payable to the holders of record of Union Common Stock
at or as of any time after the Effective Date will be paid to the holder of any
King George certificate until such holder physically surrenders such
certificate, promptly after which time all such dividends or distributions will
be paid (without interest).
CONDITIONS TO THE AFFILIATION
The obligations of Union and King George to consummate the
Affiliation are subject to the following conditions, among, others: approval and
adoption of the Agreement by the requisite shareholder vote; receipt of all
necessary regulatory approvals not conditioned or restricted in a manner that,
in the judgment of the Boards of Directors of Union or King George, materially
adversely affects the economic or business benefits of the Affiliation so as to
render inadvisable consummation of the Affiliation; the absence of certain
actual or threatened proceedings before a court or other governmental body
relating to the Affiliation; receipt of a current fairness opinion from Scott &
Stringfellow; and the receipt of an opinion of counsel as to certain Federal
income tax consequences of the Affiliation. Also, under the terms of the
Agreement, Union agreed that, following the Effective Date, it will indemnify
those persons associated with King George and its subsidiaries who are entitled
to indemnification as of the effective date of the Affiliation.
In addition, each party's obligation to effect the Affiliation,
unless waived, is subject to performance by the other party of its obligations
under the Agreement, the accuracy, in all material respects, of the
representations and warranties of the other party contained therein, and the
receipt of certain opinions and certificates from the other party.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Union's application to acquire King George pursuant to the
Affiliation is subject to approval by the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act,
which requires that the Federal Reserve take into consideration the financial
and managerial resources and future prospects of the existing and proposed
institutions and the convenience and needs of the
communities to be served. The BHC Act prohibits the Federal Reserve from
approving the Affiliation if it would result in a monopoly or if it would be in
furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to
monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States, or if its
effect may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a
monopoly, or if it would be in any other manner a restraint of trade, unless the
Federal Reserve finds that the anti-competitive effects of the Affiliation are
clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of the
transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be
served. The Affiliation may not be consummated for thirty days after such
approval pursuant to federal law in order to provide a period for the
Affiliation to be challenged under the antitrust laws. The U.S. Department of
Justice may agree to shorten the waiting period to fifteen days.
The BHC Act provides for the publication of notice and the
opportunity for administrative hearings relating to the applications, and it
authorizes the regulatory agency to permit interested parties to intervene in
the proceedings. If an interested party is permitted to intervene, such
intervention could substantially delay the regulatory approvals required for
consummation of the Affiliation.
The Affiliation is further subject to the approval of the Bureau of
Financial Institutions of the Virginia SCC. To obtain such approval, the
Virginia SCC must conclude that the Affiliation will not affect detrimentally
the safety or soundness of a Virginia bank.
As of the date hereof, all regulatory applications have been filed
and accepted, but no approvals have been obtained. Although neither Union nor
King George know of any reason that any approval should not be granted, there
can be no assurance that the required approvals will be obtained, or that any
approval will not be conditioned in a manner which makes consummation of the
Affiliation, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of Union or King George,
inadvisable.
BUSINESS PENDING THE AFFILIATION
Until consummation of the Affiliation (or termination of the
Agreement), King George is obligated to operate its businesses only in the
ordinary and usual course, consistent with past practice and to use its best
efforts to maintain its business organizations, employees and business
relationships and retain the services of its officers and key employees. Until
consummation of the Affiliation (or termination of the Agreement) King George
may not, without the consent of Union, among other things: (a) declare or pay
additional dividends on its capital stock, except for its regular annual cash
dividend in an amount not to exceed $2.35 per share; (b) solicit or encourage
inquiries or proposals with respect to, furnish any information relating to, or
participate in any negotiations regarding any acquisition or purchase of all or
a substantial portion of the assets of, or a substantial equity interest in,
King George or any business combination with King George, except where the
failure to do so would constitute a breach of the fiduciary or legal obligations
of the King George Board of Directors to the shareholders of King George; (c)
amend its charter or bylaws; (d) issue any capital stock or effect any stock
split or otherwise change its capitalization; or (e) purchase or redeem any of
its capital stock.
WAIVER, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
At any time on or prior to the Effective Date, any term or condition
of the Affiliation, except for the general conditions set forth in Section
5.1(a) - (d) of the Agreement, may be waived by the party which is entitled to
the benefits thereof, without shareholder approval, to the extent permitted
under applicable law. The Agreement may be amended at any time prior to the
Effective Date by agreement of the parties whether before or after the Special
Meeting (except that the Exchange Ratio shall not be changed after approval of
the Agreement by the King George shareholders). Any material change in a
material term of the Agreement would require a resolicitation of King George's
shareholders. Such a material change would include, but not be limited to, a
change in the tax consequences to King George's shareholders.
The Agreement may be terminated by Union or King George, whether
before or after the approval of the Agreement by the shareholders: (a) if the
other party materially breaches any
representation, warranty or agreement which is not properly cured by such
breaching party; (b) if the Affiliation is not consummated by December 31, 1996;
or (c) if the Federal Reserve or the Virginia SCC have denied approval. The
Agreement also may be terminated at any time by the mutual consent of Union and
King George. In the event of termination, the Agreement shall become null and
void, except that certain provisions thereof relating to expenses and
confidentiality of information exchanged between the parties shall survive any
such termination.
RESALES OF UNION COMMON STOCK
All shares of Union Common Stock received by King George shareholders
in connection with the Affiliation will be freely transferable, except that
Union Common Stock received by persons who are deemed to be "affiliates" of King
George for purposes of Rule 145 under the 1933 Act. To the best knowledge of
King George and Union, the only persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of
King George subject to these limitations are the directors and executive
officers of King George.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
It is anticipated that the Affiliation will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Under this
method of accounting, recorded assets and liabilities of Union and King George
are carried forward at their previously recorded amounts, income of the combined
corporations will include income of Union and King George for the entire fiscal
year in which the Affiliation occurs, and the reported income of the separate
corporations for prior periods will be combined. No recognition of goodwill in
the combination is required of any party to the Affiliation.
For the Affiliation to qualify as a pooling of interests, it must
satisfy a number of conditions including that substantially all of the King
George Common Stock be exchanged for Union Common Stock. In the event that any
of the conditions to pooling of interests accounting is not satisfied, then the
Affiliation would not qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment, and
a condition to the obligation of Union to consummate the Affiliation would not
be satisfied. Each of Union and King George have agreed that they will use their
respective best efforts to ensure that the Affiliation will qualify for pooling
of interests accounting treatment.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE AFFILIATION
Certain members of management of King George and the King George
Board may be deemed to have interests in the Affiliation in addition to their
interests as shareholders of King George generally. These interests include,
among others, provisions in the Agreement relating to indemnification of King
George directors and officers, directors' and officers' liability insurance, the
election or appointment of a member of the King George Board to the Union Board,
and certain other employee benefits, as described below. In each case, the King
George Board was aware of their potential interests, and considered them, among
other matters, in approving the Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby.
Directors. Union has agreed to cause Homer L. Hite, a member of the
King George Board of Directors, to become a member of the Union Board of
Directors as soon as practicable after consummation of the Affiliation. In
addition, Mr. Hite will be appointed Senior Vice President of Union. Union
currently pays each director $400 for attendance at each Board meeting.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Following the Effective
Date, Union has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers of King George
who are currently entitled to indemnification from King George to the same
extent and on the same conditions as they are entitled to indemnification
pursuant to Virginia law and King George's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Date. In
addition, Union has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain King
George's existing directors' and officers' liability policy, or some other
policy providing at least comparable coverage, for a period of three years after
the Effective Date.
Assumption of Homer L. Hite's Employment Agreement. Union has agreed
to assume and honor the employment agreement between King George and Homer L.
Hite, subject to his agreement that the Affiliation will not constitute a
"change of control" of King George. Under the terms of the employment agreement,
Mr. Hite would be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to two times his
annual base salary (currently $90,000) in the event of a change of control of
King George. The employment agreement is renewable on an annual basis on its
anniversary date of June 11. The change of control provision was not waived by
Mr. Hite with respect to any future change of control of Union.
Assumption of Salary Continuation Agreements. Union has agreed to
assume and honor two salary continuation agreements between King George and
Homer L. Hite dated October 15, 1979 and September 1, 1985, respectively. Each
agreement is funded by a life insurance policy on the life of Homer L. Hite, and
provides for certain amounts to be paid to Mr. Hite upon his retirement, or to
Mr. Hite's beneficiaries upon his death while still in the employ of King
George.
Assumption of Deferred Compensation Agreements. Union has also agreed
to assume certain deferred compensation agreements between King George and its
directors. Such agreements provide for payment of certain monthly sums to
certain directors of King George (or designated beneficiaries of such
directors), for a period of fifteen years after the death or retirement of such
director at age 65. Such agreements may, in King George's discretion, be funded
by life insurance policies on the lives of the covered directors. Such
agreements are not assignable by the directors for whom such agreements are in
place and, by their terms, are not contracts of employment.
Employees and Benefit Plans. The Agreement provides that the officers
and employees of King George will not change as a result of the Affiliation. As
soon as administratively practicable following the Affiliation, employees of
King George will be entitled to participate in the Union pension, benefit and
similar plans on the same terms and conditions as employees of Union. Employees
of King George will receive credit for their years of service to King George for
participation and vesting purposes only.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS
Union and King George have received an opinion from LeClair Ryan,
counsel for Union, to the effect that for federal income tax purposes:
1. The Affiliation will constitute a reorganization within the
meaning of Section 368 of the Code;
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by Union or King George as a
result of the Affiliation;
3. No gain or loss will be recognized by a King George shareholder
to the extent he or she receives Union Common Stock solely in exchange for his
King George Common Stock pursuant to the Affiliation;
4. The tax basis of the Union Common Stock received by each King
George shareholder will be the same as the tax basis of the King George stock
surrendered in exchange therefor; and
5. The holding period for each share of Union Common Stock received
by each King George shareholder in exchange for King George Common Stock will
include the period for which such
shareholder held the King George Common Stock exchanged therefore, provided such
King George Common Stock is a capital asset in the hands of such holder at the
Effective Date.
The opinion from LeClair Ryan has been filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement, and receipt of substantially the same opinion as of the
Effective Date is a non-waivable condition to consummation of the Affiliation.
The opinion from LeClair Ryan is based on, and the opinion to be given at the
Effective Date will be based on, certain customary assumptions and
representations regarding, among other things, the lack of previous dealings
between Union and King George, the existing and future ownership of King George
and Union Common Stock and the future business plans of Union.
Any cash received by shareholders, whether as a result of an exercise
of their dissenters' rights or in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares,
could result in taxable income to the shareholders. The receipt of such cash
generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the stock resulting in
capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the cash received and an
allocable portion of the basis of the stock relinquished. The receipt of such
cash may be treated as a dividend and taxed as ordinary income in certain
limited situations. In the case of cash payments in lieu of fractional shares,
however, such payments will be small in amount and not a material concern to
King George shareholders.
The preceding discussion summarizes the material federal income tax
consequences of the Affiliation to King George shareholders. It does not discuss
all potentially relevant federal income tax matters or consequences to any
foreign or other shareholders subject to special tax treatment, nor does it
discuss, and no opinion has been requested regarding, any state or local tax
consequences of the Affiliation. The tax consequences to any particular
shareholder may depend on the shareholder's circumstances. King George
shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning federal,
state and local tax consequences of the Affiliation with respect to their
particular tax situation.
RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
A shareholder of King George Common Stock who objects to the Affiliation (a
"Dissenting Shareholder") and who complies with provisions of Article 15 of
Title 13.1 of the Virginia SCA ("Article 15") may demand the right to receive a
cash payment, if the Affiliation is consummated, for the fair value of his or
her stock immediately before the Effective Date, exclusive of any appreciation
or depreciation in anticipation of the Affiliation unless such exclusion would
be inequitable. In order to receive payment, a Dissenting Shareholder must
deliver to King George before the vote is taken at the Special Meeting a written
notice of intent to demand payment for his or her shares if the Affiliation is
effectuated (an "Intent to Demand Payment") and must not vote his or her shares
in favor of the Affiliation. The Intent to Demand Payment should be delivered to
Homer L. Hite, President, King George State Bank, Inc., 10045 Kings Highway,
King George, Virginia 22485. A VOTE AGAINST THE AFFILIATION WILL NOT ITSELF
CONSTITUTE SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE AND A FAILURE TO VOTE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A
TIMELY WRITTEN NOTICE OF INTENT TO DEMAND PAYMENT.
A shareholder of record of King George Common Stock may assert
dissenters' rights as to fewer than all the shares registered in his or her name
only if the shareholder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned
by any one person and notifies King George in writing of the name and address of
each person on whose behalf he asserts dissenters' rights. The rights of such a
partial dissenter are determined as if the shares as to which he dissents and
his other shares were registered in the names of different shareholders. A
beneficial shareholder of King George Common Stock may
assert dissenters' rights as to shares held on his behalf by a shareholder of
record only if (i) he submits to King George the record shareholder's written
consent to the dissent not later than the time when the beneficial shareholder
asserts dissenters' rights, and (ii) he dissents with respect to all shares of
which he is the beneficial shareholder or over which he has power to direct the
vote.
Within 10 days after the Effective Date, King George is required to
deliver a notice in writing (a "Dissenter's Notice") to each Dissenting
Shareholder who has filed an Intent to Demand Payment and who has not voted such
shares in favor of the Affiliation. The Dissenter's Notice shall (i) state where
the demand for payment (the "Payment Demand") shall be sent and where and when
stock certificates shall be deposited; (ii) supply a form for demanding payment;
(iii) set a date by which King George must receive the Payment Demand; and (iv)
be accompanied by a copy of Article 15. A Dissenting Shareholder who is sent a
Dissenter's Notice must submit the Payment Demand and deposit his or her stock
certificates in accordance with the terms of, and within the time frames set
forth in, the Dissenter's Notice. As a part of the Payment Demand, the
Dissenting Shareholder must certify whether he or she acquired beneficial
ownership of the shares before or after the date of the first public
announcement of the terms of the proposed Affiliation (the "Announcement Date"),
which was March 13, 1996. King George will specify the Announcement Date in the
Dissenter's Notice.
Except with respect to shares acquired after the Announcement Date,
King George shall pay a Dissenting Shareholder the amount King George estimates
to be the fair value of his or her shares, plus accrued interest. Such payment
shall be made within 30 days of receipt of the Dissenting Shareholder's Payment
Demand. As to shares acquired after the Announcement Date, King George is only
obligated to estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and
to offer to pay this amount to the Dissenting Shareholder conditioned upon the
Dissenting Shareholder's agreement to accept it in full satisfaction of his or
her claim.
If a Dissenting Shareholder believes that the amount paid or offered
by King George is less than the fair value of his or her shares, or that the
interest due is incorrectly calculated, that Dissenting Shareholder may notify
King George of his or her own estimate of the fair value of his shares and
amount of interest due and demand payment of such estimate (less any amount
already received by the Dissenting Shareholder) (the "Estimate and Demand"). The
Dissenting Shareholder must notify King George of the Estimate and Demand within
30 days after the date King George makes or offers to make payment to the
Dissenting Shareholder.
Within 60 days after receiving the Estimate and Demand, King George
must either commence a proceeding in the appropriate circuit court to determine
the fair value of the Dissenting Shareholder's shares and accrued interest, or
King George must pay each Dissenting Shareholder whose demand remains unsettled
the amount demanded. If a proceeding is commenced, the court must determine all
costs of the proceeding and must assess those costs against King George, except
that the court may assess costs against all or some of the Dissenting
Shareholders to the extent the court finds that the Dissenting Shareholders did
not act in good faith in demanding payment of the Estimate and Demand.
The foregoing discussion is a summary of the material provisions of
Article 15. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to review carefully the full
text of Article 15, which is included as Appendix V to this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. The provisions of Article 15 are technical and complex,
and a shareholder failing to comply strictly with them may forfeit his or her
Dissenting Shareholder's rights. Any shareholder who intends to dissent from the
Affiliation should review the full text of those provisions carefully and also
should consult with his or her attorney. NO FURTHER NOTICE OF THE EVENTS
GIVING RISE TO DISSENTERS RIGHTS OR ANY STEPS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH WILL BE
FURNISHED TO KING GEORGE SHAREHOLDERS, EXCEPT AS INDICATED ABOVE OR OTHERWISE
REQUIRED BY LAW.
Any Dissenting Shareholder who perfects his right to be paid the fair
value of his or her shares will recognize gain or loss, if any, for federal
income tax purposes upon the receipt of cash for his or her shares. The amount
of gain or loss and its character as ordinary or capital gain or loss will be
determined in accordance with applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code. See "The Affiliation - Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."
CERTAIN DIFFERENCES IN RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Both Union and King George are corporations subject to the provisions
of the Virginia SCA. Shareholders of King George, whose rights are governed by
King George's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, will, upon consummation of
the Affiliation, become shareholders of Union. The rights of the former King
George shareholders will then be governed by the Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws of Union.
There are no material differences between the rights of a King George
shareholder under King George's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, on the one
hand, and the rights of an Union shareholder under the Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws of Union, on the other hand, except as disclosed in the section
"Comparative Rights of Shareholders."
EXPENSES OF THE AFFILIATION
Whether or not the Affiliation is consummated, King George and Union
will pay their own expenses incident to preparing, entering into and carrying
out the Agreement, preparing and filing the Registration Statement of which this
Proxy Statement/Prospectus is a part, except under circumstances involving
willful breaches of certain provisions of the Agreement. In general, the
Agreement provides for each party to pay its own expenses in this regard.
If, however, either party materially breaches the Agreement, that
party must pay the costs associated with this transaction incurred by the
non-breaching party. If the Agreement is terminated by King George because it is
not approved by the King George shareholders, King George must pay 50% of
Union's costs in this transaction, provided that the maximum amount that King
George may be responsible to Union for shall be limited to $50,000.
King George and Union have incurred and will continue to incur
expenses related to the Affiliation, which expenses include, among other
things, legal fees, filing fees, accounting fees, investment banking fees,
printing charges and costs of mailing.
MARKET PRICES AND DIVIDENDS
MARKET PRICES
Union Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "UBSH".
The following table sets forth the high and low closing sales prices
for Union Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market for the periods
indicated.
CLOSING SALES PRICES

4th Quarter....................... 28.00 24.25 28.00 23.00
The closing sales price of Union Common Stock on March 12, 1996, the
last full trading day preceding the public announcement of the execution of the
Agreement, as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market was $24.50 per share. The
closing sales price of Union Common Stock on July 15, 1996, the latest
practicable date prior to the date of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as quoted
on the Nasdaq National Market was $25.75 per share.
There is no active public market for King George Common Stock. It is
not listed on a registered exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq system, and trades
in King George Common Stock occur infrequently on a local basis and generally
involve a relatively small number of shares. Based on information made available
to it, King George believes that the selling price for its common stock during
1994 was $75; during 1995, ranged from $75 to $79; and from January 1, 1996
through May 31, 1996, ranged from $75 to $78. Such transactions may not be
representative of all transactions during the indicated periods or of the actual
fair market value of the King George Common Stock at the time of such
transactions due to the infrequency of trades and the limited market for King
George Common Stock.
As of March 31, 1996, there were 1,666 record holders of Union Common
Stock. As of the Record Date, there were 244 record holders of King George
Common Stock.
DIVIDENDS
The following tables reflect the cash dividends per share paid during each
quarter on Union Common Stock for the periods indicated. Since 1994, Union has
typically paid dividends on a semi-annual basis in June and December of each
year.

King George pays an annual cash dividend in June of each year. King
George paid a cash dividend per share of $2.35, $2.30 and $2.25 in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
Union is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries,
and its revenues depend primarily on the payment of dividends from its
subsidiary banks. Union's subsidiary banks are subject to certain legal
restrictions on the amount of dividends they are permitted to pay to Union.
For example, a Virginia chartered bank is prohibited from paying a dividend
that would impair its paid-in capital. In addition, the Virginia SCC may limit
the payment by any Virginia chartered bank if it determines that the limitation
is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure the bank's financial
soundness.
Under current federal law, insured depository institutions, such as
the Affiliate Banks, are prohibited from making capital distributions, including
the payment of dividends, if, after making such distribution, the institution
would become "undercapitalized" (as such term is defined in federal law). Based
on the Affiliate Banks current financial condition, Union does not expect that
this provision will have any impact on its ability to obtain dividends from its
insured depository institution subsidiaries.
As a result of these legal restrictions, there can be no assurance
that dividends would be paid in the future by Union's bank subsidiaries. The
final determination of the timing, amount and payment of dividends on Union
Common Stock is at the discretion of Union's Board of Directors and will depend
upon the earnings of Union and its subsidiaries, principally the Affiliate
Banks, the financial condition of Union and other factors, including general
economic conditions and applicable governmental regulations and policies.

(a) The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations or the financial position that would have
resulted had the Affiliation been consummated at the beginning of the
periods indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of
operations in future periods or the future financial position of the
combined entities.
(b) It is assumed that the Affiliation will be accounted for on a pooling
of interests accounting basis and, accordingly, the related pro forma
adjustments have been calculated using the Exchange Ratio of 5.5
shares of Union Common Stock for each outstanding share of King
George Common Stock.
As a result, information was appropriately adjusted for the
Affiliation by the (i) addition of 275,000 shares of Union Common
Stock amounting to $1.1 million; (ii) elimination of 50,000 shares of
King George Common Stock amounting to $300,000; and (iii) recordation
of the remaining amount of $800,000 as a decrease in capital surplus
of $300,000 and a decrease in retained earnings of $500,000 at March
31, 1996.
(c) Per share data has been computed based on the combined historical net
income applicable to common shareholders of Union and King George
using the historical weighted average shares outstanding of Union
Common Stock and the weighted average shares, adjusted to equivalent
shares of Union Common Stock, of King George, as of the earliest
period presented.
INFORMATION CONCERNING KING GEORGE
HISTORY AND BUSINESS
King George was organized and chartered under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia on February 13, 1973 and commenced operation on June
17, 1974. King George is a Virginia chartered bank and a member of the Federal
Reserve System. Its deposits are FDIC insured, and King George is subject to
supervision, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve and the Virginia
Bureau of Financial Institutions. King George provides a wide range of financial
services, principally to individuals and to small and medium-sized businesses,
including individual and commercial demand, savings and time deposit accounts,
commercial, agricultural and consumer loans, travelers' checks, safe deposit
facilities, ATM services, sales of United States Savings Bonds, collection items
and official checks.
King George has one banking office located at 10045 Kings Highway,
King George, Virginia. The Bank owns a lot in Dahlgren on Route 206 which may
be used for a future branch site.
As of March 31, 1996, King George had the equivalent of 20
full-time employees. None of its employees are represented by any collective
bargaining unit. King George considers relations with its employees to be
good.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
GENERAL. King George is a residential mortgage and residential
construction lender and also extends commercial loans to small and medium-sized
businesses within its primary service area. Its lending activity extends across
its primary service area of King George County and into Fredericksburg,
Virginia. Consistent with its focus on providing community-based financial
services, King George generally does not make loans to borrowers outside its
primary service area.
The principal economic risk associated with each of the categories of
loans in King George's portfolio is the creditworthiness of its borrowers.
Within each category, such risk is increased or decreased depending on
prevailing economic conditions. In an effort to manage the risk, King George's
policy gives loan amount approval limits to individual loan officers based on
their level of experience. The risk associated with real estate mortgage loans
and installment loans to individuals varies based upon employment levels,
consumer confidence, fluctuations and value of residential real estate and other
conditions that affect the ability of consumers to repay indebtedness. The risk
associated with commercial loans varies based upon the strength and activity of
the local economy of King George's market area. The risk associated with real
estate construction loans varies based upon the supply and demand for the type
of real estate under construction. Most of King George's residential real estate
construction loans are for pre-sold and contract homes.
While King George does not monitor or track specific economic data
from any particular source, it does rely on information contained in local,
regional and national publications dealing with economic activity, consumer
confidence, employment trends, residential and commercial real estate sales and
construction, and business relocations. In addition to this, King George's
Directors, Officers and staff members are involved in a wide variety of local
business, civic and charitable organizations which provides the overall
monitoring of the general direction and developing trends that affect the
business climate of the region.
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LENDING. King George mortgage operation
originates both conventional and government fixed rate and adjustable rate
residential mortgage loans primarily for resale in the secondary market.
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION LENDING. Because of the attractive
adjustable rates available, King George makes construction loans for residential
purposes. These include both construction loans to experienced builders and
loans to consumers for owner occupied residences. Construction lending entails
significant additional risk as compared with residential mortgage lending.
Construction loans to builders can involve larger loan balances concentrated
with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Also, with construction
loans, funds are advanced upon the security of the home under construction,
which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is
more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete
a project and related loan-to-value ratios. Residential construction loans to
consumers, for which a permanent loan commitment from another lender approved
prior to loan closing is required, are subject to the additional risk of the
permanent lender failing to provide the necessary funds at closing, either due
to the borrower's inability to fulfill the terms of his commitment or due to the
permanent lender's inability to meet its funding commitments. In addition to its
usual credit analysis of the borrowers, King George seeks to obtain a first lien
on the property as security for its construction loans.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. King George provides permanent
mortgage financing for a variety of commercial projects but attempts to
concentrate its efforts on owner-occupied projects. From time to time in the
normal course of business, King George will provide a limited amount of
financing for income producing, non-owner occupied projects which meet all the
guidelines established by loan policy. These loans generally do not exceed 80%
of current appraised or market value, whichever is lower, and are written on
terms which provide for a maturity provision or interest rate adjustment
available from three to five years from the note date.
CONSUMER LENDING. King George currently offers most types of consumer
demand, time and installment loans, including automobile loans and home equity
loans.
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LENDING. As a full-service community bank, King
George makes commercial loans to qualified small businesses in King George's
market area. Commercial business loans generally have a higher degree of risk
than residential mortgage loans but have commensurably higher yields. To manage
these risks, King George generally secures appropriate collateral and carefully
monitors the financial condition of its business borrowers and the concentration
of such loans in King George's portfolio. Residential mortgage loans generally
are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from
employment and other income and are secured by real estate whose value tends to
be easily ascertainable. In contrast, commercial business loans may be
substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the
collateral for secured commercial business loans may depreciate over time and
cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate.
CREDIT EVALUATION AND LOAN UNDERWRITING. King George places priority
on meeting the borrowing requirements of its credit-worthy depositors.
Non-deposit, credit-worthy customers will also be granted loans when their
requests meet the established requirements, and there are sufficient funds
available to satisfy the demand. General economic conditions in the trade area,
loan demand and yield opportunities will be the principal determinants of loan
levels within the categories previously
noted. King George's underwriting practices, which are consistently applied,
involve investigation of sources of income, employment history, details of
existing debt, obtaining a credit report and compiling a summary of the borrower
relative to all of these areas. On credits in excess of $3,000, a loan
application or financial statement is required. A minimum of two years of
financial statements, which include balance sheets and profit and loss
statements, is required to evaluate the applicant's cash flow and ability to
service debt. The primary source of repayment is always the ability to pay from
operations with the secondary sources usually being collateral. The debt service
to gross income ratio acceptable for consumer loans is generally 40%. Commercial
loans require sufficient debt service coverage, generally 1.25 times debt
service.
COMPETITION
The financial services industry is competitive in the King George
market area. A very active credit union and two branches of a state-wide bank
are located in the county. Banks from Fredericksburg actively seek business in
King George. Competition for deposits comes from money market mutual funds and
insurance brokers.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. On June 11, 1986, King George entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Hite pursuant to which Mr. Hite agreed to serve as
Chief Executive Officer of King George commencing on July 1, 1986 and renewing
annually unless the Directors vote affirmatively not to renew the agreement. The
agreement provides that Mr. Hite would be paid a base salary of $46,200 in 1986
and that in each subsequent year he would receive increases as approved by the
Directors. In addition, King George provides Mr. Hite health and similar benefit
plans made available from time to time by King George to its employees, and Mr.
Hite is entitled to participate in any pension, profit sharing and employee
stock ownership plans of King George if and when such plans, or any of them, are
adopted by King George for the benefit of employees of King George.
The agreement provides that in the event King George terminates Mr.
Hite's employment without cause, Mr. Hite is entitled to the full salary at
the annual rate then in effect for the remaining term of the agreement or 90
days, whichever is greater.
The agreement also provides that if King George is sold or merged,
Mr. Hite shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to twice his annual base
salary in effect at that time in the event Mr. Hite is not given reasonably
equivalent duties and responsibilities. The consummation of the Affiliation will
not trigger the "sale or merger," commonly known as "change of control,"
provisions of Mr. Hite's agreement. However, in the event that such provisions
had been triggered, as of May 1, 1996, Mr. Hite would have been entitled to
receive approximately $180,000.
BENEFIT PLANS. King George maintains deferred compensation
arrangements with some of the directors. King George's current policy is to
accrue the estimated amounts to be paid under the contracts.
King George has a 401(K) plan administered through the Virginia
Bankers Association. King George matches each employee's contributions up to 6%
of salary.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Some of King George's officers and directors are customers of King
George. As such customers, they have had transactions in the ordinary course of
business with King George, all of which were on substantially the same terms as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and
did not involve more than normal risks of collectability or present any other
unfavorable features. The total direct and indirect indebtedness to King George
of all the directors and principal officers as of December 31, 1995 was
$520,078, an amount equal to 11.85% of King George's equity capital as of
December 31, 1995.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information about the major
components of the results of operations and financial condition, liquidity and
capital resources of King George. This discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere
in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
OVERVIEW
King George's performance for 1995 continued its twenty-one years of
profit. Net income increased 15% in 1995 to $505,639, compared to $437,873
earned in 1994. Per share earnings increased to $10.11, compared to $8.76 in
1994. The increased earnings for 1995 were primarily due to higher levels of net
interest income and a reduction in the provision for loan losses.
Return on average equity increased during 1995 to 11.97% from 11.31%
in 1994. Return on average assets also increased during 1995 to 1.07%, compared
to .93% for the previous year.
Net interest margin was 4.89% on a tax-equivalent basis in 1995, up
from 4.65% in 1994. The net interest margin for 1993 was 4.02%. Loan demand
rose moderately during 1995.
Loans, net of unearned income and allowance for possible loan losses,
were $32.7 million at December 31, 1995, compared to $30.6 million in 1994.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income represents the principal source of earnings for
King George. Net interest income equals the amount by which interest income
exceeds interest expense. Changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as their respective yields and
rates, have a significant impact on the level of net interest income.
Net interest income was $2.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1995, up from $1.9 million in 1994. Although the increase in total loans was
small, the favorable interest rate environment produced a higher yield on loans.
Interest expense rose from $1.4 million in 1994 to $1.6 million in 1995 as
customers switched from lower yielding to higher yielding deposits.
INTEREST SENSITIVITY
An important element of both earnings performance and the maintenance
of sufficient liquidity is management of the interest sensitivity gap. The
interest sensitivity gap is the difference between interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities in a specific time interval. The gap can be
managed by repricing assets or liabilities, by replacing an asset or liability
at maturity or by adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or
liability. Matching the amounts of assets and liabilities repricing in the same
time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the impact on net interest
income in periods of rising or falling interest rates.
King George evaluates interest sensitivity risk and then formulates
strategies regarding asset generation and pricing, funding sources and pricing,
and off-balance sheet commitments in order to decrease sensitivity risk. These
strategies are based on management's outlook regarding future interest rate
movements, the state of the regional and national economies and other financial
and business risk factors.
King George establishes prices for deposits and loans based on local
market conditions and manages its securities portfolio in accordance with
policies set by King George. King George reviews its interest sensitivity
position at least monthly.
At March 31, 1996, King George had $8.5 million more liabilities than
assets subject to repricing within one year and was, therefore, in a
liability-sensitive position. This compares to its position at December 31,
1995, when it had $4.9 million more in liabilities than assets subject to
repricing within one year. A liability-sensitive institution's net interest
margin and net interest income generally will be impacted favorably by declining
interest rates, while that of an asset-sensitive institution generally will be
impacted favorably by rising interest rates.
The following tables present the maturity of King George's loan
portfolio by category and the fixed and variable portions of each category and
its interest sensitivity position as of March 31, 1996. These are one-day
positions which are continually changing and are not necessarily indicative of
King George's position at any other time.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for 1995 increased by $484, or .3%, over 1994.
Service charges on deposit accounts, the largest single item of noninterest
income, were $136,500 for 1995, up 20.4% over the prior year.
Noninterest income in 1994 increased 6.4% over 1993. Service charges
on deposit accounts decreased slightly from $113,393 in 1994 compared to
$115,268 in 1993.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $959,000 in 1993, $1,042,000 in 1994 and
$1,138,000 in 1995. This was an increase of 8.7% and 9.2% from 1993 to 1994 and
1994 to 1995, respectively.
King George consistently ranks among the top 5% of its peer group
(based on asset size) in maintaining low overhead costs. Salaries and benefits
increased 30.4% from 1993 to 1994 and 18.5% from 1994 to 1995 because of
personnel additions and promotions, and normal salary increases.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Loans, net of unearned income, were $33.0 million at December 31,
1995, up 6.8% from the $31.0 million at December 31, 1994.
Loans secured by real estate consist of a portfolio of predominately
1-4 single family residential loans, which are primarily purchase money loans to
consumers for their primary residences. Such loans at December 31, 1995 were
30.2% of the loan portfolio. Non-farm, non-residential loans comprised 20.4% of
the loan portfolio at December 31, 1995. Home equity lines of credit were
implemented in January of 1996. Real estate construction loans accounted for
14.1% of total loans at December 31, 1995 with the majority being construction
of 1-4 single family residences. King George's consumer portfolio, which was
13.6% of loan portfolio at December 31, 1995, consists of primarily installment
loans.
Consistent with its focus on providing financial services to the
local community, King George generally does not make loans outside its defined
lending area. King George maintains a policy not to originate or purchase loans
classified by regulators as highly leveraged transactions or loans to foreign
entities or individuals.
King George's unfunded commitments amounted to $2.0 million at
December 31, 1995, compared to $2.8 million at December 31, 1994. This decrease
in unfunded commitments was attributable to more construction loans being fully
funded.

ASSET QUALITY
The allowance of loan loss is an estimate of an amount adequate to
provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio of King George. The level of
loan losses is affected by general economic trends as well as conditions
affecting individual borrowers. The allowance is also subject to regulatory
examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such
factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and the size of the
allowance in comparison to peer companies identified by regulatory agencies.
The provision for loan losses in 1995 decreased to $403,000, from
$505,000 in 1994, in response to improved economic conditions and collection
efforts. The larger provisions for loan losses in years 1991 through 1994 were
attributed to the declining real estate market and weakening economy. The ratio
of the allowance of loan losses to net charge-offs was consistent for these
years.
King George's net charge-offs in 1995 were lower by approximately
$59,000 than in 1994. The improved charge-off experience was due primarily to an
improved economy and more conservative loan policies. The ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans was 1.44% for 1995, compared to 1.73% for 1994. The
ratio for the first quarter of 1996 was .07%.
The allowance for loan losses was $303,000 at December 31, 1995, down
$73,000 from $376,000 at December 31, 1994. The allowance was $406,000 at
December 31, 1993.

December 31, 1993. Management evaluates nonperforming loans relative to their

King George has allocated the allowance according to the amount
deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being
incurred within each of the above categories of loans. The allocation of the
allowance as shown in the table above should not be interpreted as an indication
that loan losses in future years will occur in the same proportions or that the
allocation indicates future loan loss trends. Furthermore, the portion allocated
to each loan category is not the total amount available for future losses that
might occur within such categories since the total allowance is a general
allowance applicable to the entire portfolio.
ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
At the end of 1995, the allowance for loan losses was .92% of
outstanding loans compared to 1.21% of outstanding loans in 1994. The amount
expensed over the last five years as provisions for loan losses has been $2.4
million. Net charge-offs over the same period have been $2.4 million. The losses
in 1991 through 1995 were the result of declining real estate values and
subsequent foreclosures on properties. In 1995, the loss associated with one
loan was $354,000.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Total nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans,
restructured loans and foreclosed properties, were $405,000 at December 31,
1995, a decrease of $659,000 from December 31, 1994.
The decrease in nonperforming assets in 1995 was largely attributed
to one large commercial loan that was written off and some foreclosed property
being sold. The commercial loan was $354,000 and one foreclosed property of
$85,000. At March 31, 1996, King George's nonperforming assets totaled $405,000.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when collection of interest and
principal is doubtful, generally when loans become 90 days past due. There are
three negative implications for earnings when a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status. All interest accrued but unpaid at the date the loan is placed on
nonaccrual status is either deducted from interest income or written off as a
loss. Second, accruals of interest are discounted until it becomes certain that
both principal and interest can be repaid. Third, there may be actual losses
which necessitate additional provisions for loan losses charged against
earnings.
At December 31, 1995, loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing interest because they are both well secured and in the process of
collection were $634,000, compared to $54,000 at December 31, 1994, and
$1,086,000 at December 31, 1993.
During 1995, $5,494 in additional interest income would have been
recorded if King George's nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with
their original terms. During 1994, $49,260 in additional interest income would
have been recorded if King George's nonaccrual loans had been current in
accordance with their original terms.
At December 31, 1995, potential problem loans were approximately
$364,000. These loans are subject to regular periodic management attention, and
their status is reviewed on a regular basis. Of the potential problem loans
identified at December 31, 1995, $178,000 are secured by real estate with
appraised values that exceed the principal balance.
SECURITIES
The book value of the securities portfolio was $9.5 million at
December 31,1995, compared to $12.8 million at December 31, 1994 and $11.4
million at December 31, 1993. This is largely in response to a strengthening
economy and increased loan demand. Investment in U.S. Government securities
increased $1.2 million, or 21.1%, for 1994 and decreased $3.0 million, or 44.0%,
for 1995. Investment grade corporate securities decreased 18.1% in 1995 from
1994 and 3.8% in 1994 from 1993.
The securities portfolio consists solely of investment securities.
Securities are classified as held-to-maturity when management has the intent and
King George has the ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities to
maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at a cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Other securities are
classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value.

DEPOSITS
King George works to attract and retain core deposits and reduce cost
of funds. Deposits provide funding for King George's investments in loans and
securities, and the interest paid for deposits must be managed carefully to
control the level of interest expense.
Deposits at December 31, 1995 were $41.4 million, a 4.2% decrease
from December 31, 1994. Interest checking and money market savings have been
relatively stable from 1993 to 1995. Savings accounts decreased from $20.5
million in 1993 to $14.8 million in 1994 to $9.4 million in 1995. There was a
corresponding increase in certificates of deposit from $12.1 million in 1993 to
$16.7 million in 1994 to $21.2 million in 1995. The shift between deposit
categories was attributed to rising rates in 1994 and 1995. Noninterest-bearing
checking deposits were 14.1% of total deposits at December 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994, compared to 12.3% for 1993.
As shown below, the decline in average total deposits from 1994 to
1995 was a broad consumer reaction to lower yielding deposit accounts. The
average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 4.51% in 1995,
compared to 4.02% for 1994, and 3.74% for 1993. The largest amount of King
George's deposits are higher yielding time deposits because most of its
customers are individuals who seek higher yields than those offered on savings
and demand accounts.
The following tables include a summary of average deposits and
average rates paid and information concerning the maturity schedule of
certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity represents an institution's ability to meet present and
future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing
assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management.
Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, investments in Treasury securities, and loans maturing within one year. As
a result of King George's management of liquid assets and the ability to
generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that King
George maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors'
requirements and meet its customers' credit needs.
At March 31, 1996, cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks,
federal funds sold, investments in Treasury securities, and loans maturing
within one year were 27.96% of total earning assets. As of March 31, 1996,
approximately 24.46% or $48.1 million of the loan portfolio would mature or
reprice within a one-year period. King George had no long-term debt or
short-term borrowings at March 31, 1996, or at the end of any of the past three
years.
FIRST THREE MONTHS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW. Net income for the first three months of 1996 totaled
$168,599, a 47.1% increase over the $114,637 earned in the first three months of
1995. While net interest income increased 7.5% to $511,000, net interest expense
increased only 7.0% to $410,000. Noninterest expense decreased by $11,000 to
$276,000. The provision for loan losses decreased from $70,000 in the first
three months of 1995 to $50,000 for the same period in 1996.
Loan demand remained basically flat for the first three months of
1996 with loans, net of unearned discount, increasing only slightly from $32.7
million at December 31, 1995, to $32.8 million at March 31, 1996. Investment
securities held, primarily United States Treasury, United States Agency and
municipal securities, increased slightly to $9.7 million at March 31, 1996
compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 1995. Total assets were $48.3 million,
up $1.7 million from $46.6 million reported on December 31, 1995. Total March
31, 1996 deposits were up $1.4 million at $42.8 million at March 31, 1996
compared to $41.4 million at December 31, 1995.
ASSET QUALITY. Loan quality continues to be good despite slow
economic growth in the general economy. For the first three months, King
George had loan charge-offs of approximately $22,000.
CAPITAL RESOURCES. The adequacy of King George's capital is reviewed
by management on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and
quality of King George's asset and liability levels and consistent with
regulatory requirements and industry standards. Management seeks to maintain a
capital structure that will assure an adequate level of capital to support
anticipated asset growth and absorb potential losses.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council has adopted
capital guidelines to supplement the existing definitions of capital for
regulatory purposes and to establish minimum capital standards. Specifically,
the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet items into four
risk-weighted categories. The minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk-weighted assets is 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital,
composed of common equity, retained earnings and a limited amount of perpetual
preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. King George had a ratio of
risk-weighted assets to total capital of 13.89% at March 31, 1996 and a ratio of
risk-weighted assets to Tier 1 capital of 12.94%. Both of these exceed the
capital requirements adopted by the federal regulatory agencies

BUSINESS OF UNION
HISTORY AND BUSINESS
Union is a multi-bank holding company serving the Central and
Northern Neck regions of Virginia through its two banking affiliates, Union Bank
& Trust Company and Northern Neck State Bank and its non-bank subsidiary, Union
Investment Services, Inc. Union was formed in connection with the affiliation of
Union Bank and Northern Neck Bank in 1993. Both Union Bank and Northern Neck
Bank are state-chartered, Federal Reserve member banks whose deposits are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Each is a full-service
commercial bank offering a wide range of banking and related financial services,
including consumer and commercial demand and time deposit accounts, consumer and
commercial loans, residential and commercial mortgages, credit card services and
safe deposit boxes. Union Investment Services is a full-service discount
brokerage firm providing a wide variety of investment choices to investors
throughout Union's trade area.
Through its 12 locations, Union Bank serves customers in a primary
service area which stretches from its headquarters in Bowling Green along the
I-95 corridor from Fredericksburg to central Hanover County and east to King
William County. Northern Neck Bank serves the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula
regions through four locations in Warsaw, Montross and Tappahannock. The Banks
have a long history of service, with Union Bank and Northern Neck Bank having
been organized in 1902 and 1909, respectively.
At March 31, 1996, Union had total consolidated assets of
approximately $470.9 million, total consolidated deposits through its banking
affiliates of approximately $385.1 million and consolidated shareholders' equity
of approximately $50.4 million. Union's total consolidated net income for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, was approximately $1.7 million, or $0.51 per
share.
For additional information concerning Union, see Union's 1995 Annual
Report to Shareholders and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter
Ended March 31, 1996 included as Appendices III and IV, respectively, to this
Proxy Statement/Prospectus. See also "Incorporation of Certain Information by
Reference," "Recent Financial Data" and "Selected Financial Data."
UNION'S ACQUISITION PROGRAM
Management believes there are additional opportunities to acquire
financial institutions or to acquire assets and deposits that will allow Union
to enter new markets or increase market share in existing markets. Management
intends to pursue acquisition opportunities in strategic markets where its
managerial, operational and capital resources will enhance the performance of
acquired institutions and may, after the date of this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, enter into agreements to acquire one or more financial
institutions. There can be no assurance that Union will be able to successfully
effect any additional acquisition activity, or that any such acquisition
activity will have a positive effect on the value of shares of Union Common
Stock.
COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
GENERAL
Union and King George are corporations subject to the provisions of
the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the "Virginia SCA"). Shareholders of King
George, whose rights are governed by King George's Articles of Incorporation and
Bylaws and by the Virginia SCA, will become shareholders of Union upon
consummation of the Affiliation. The rights of such shareholders as shareholders
of Union will then be governed by the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of
Union and by the Virginia SCA.
The following is a summary of the material differences in the rights
of shareholders of King George and Union. THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS
ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS OF EACH
CORPORATION AND TO THE VIRGINIA SCA.
AUTHORIZED CAPITAL
Union. Union is authorized to issue (i) 12,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $4.00 per share, of which 3,286,970 shares were issued and
outstanding as of March 31, 1996, and (ii) 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $10.00 per share, of which no shares were issued and outstanding as of
March 31, 1996. Union's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Union Board,
without shareholder approval, to fix the preferences, limitations and relative
rights of the preferred stock and to establish series of such preferred stock
and determine the variations between each series. If any shares of preferred
stock are issued, the rights of holders of Union Common Stock would be subject
to the rights and preferences conferred to holders of such preferred stock.
There are no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of capital stock of
Union. See "Description of Union Capital Stock" for additional information.
King George. King George is authorized to issue 200,000 shares of
King George Common Stock, par value $6.00 per share, of which 50,000 shares were
issued and outstanding as of March 31, 1996. Similar to the shareholders of
Union, the shareholders of King George do not have preemptive rights to
subscribe for and purchase any shares of King George Common Stock issued for
cash in order to retain their proportionate ownership in King George.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS
Union. The holders of Union Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in dividends when and as declared by the Union Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor. One of the principal sources of income to
Union is dividends from its two Affiliate Banks. For a description of certain
restrictions on the payment of dividends by banks, see "Market Prices and
Dividends." Union's Articles of Incorporation permit the Union Board to issue
preferred stock with terms set by the Union Board, which terms may include the
right to receive dividends ahead of the holders of Union Common Stock. No shares
of preferred stock are presently outstanding.
King George. The holders of King George Common Stock also are
entitled to share ratably in dividends when and as declared by the King George
Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. See "Market Prices
and Dividends" for a description of certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends by banks.
VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of both Union and King George Common Stock have one vote
for each share held on any matter presented for consideration by the
shareholders. Neither the holders of Union nor King George Common Stock are
entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
DIRECTORS AND CLASSES OF DIRECTORS
Union. The Union Board is divided into three classes so that each
director serves for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting
following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. In the event of
any increase in the authorized number of directors, the newly created
directorships resulting from such increase would be apportioned among the three
classes of directors so as to maintain such classes as nearly equal as possible.
Because of the classification of directors, unless the shareholders act to
remove directors from office, two annual meetings generally would be required to
elect a majority of the Union Board. Under Union's Articles of Incorporation,
directors may only be removed for cause and with the affirmative vote of at
least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
King George. The King George Board is divided into three classes so
that each director serves for a term ending on the date of the third annual
meeting following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. In the
event of any increase in the authorized number of directors, the newly created
directorships resulting from such increase would be apportioned among the three
classes of directors so as to maintain such classes as nearly equal as possible.
Because of the classification of directors, unless the shareholders act to
remove directors from office, two annual meetings generally would be required to
elect a majority of the King George Board. Under King George's Articles of
Incorporation, directors may only be removed for cause and with the affirmative
vote of at least 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Certain provisions of the Virginia SCA and the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Union and King George may discourage an attempt to
acquire control of Union or King George, respectively, that a majority of either
corporation's shareholders determined was in their best interests. These
provisions also may render the removal of one or all directors more difficult or
deter or delay corporate changes of control that the Union Board or King George
Board, respectively, did not approve.
Classified Board of Directors; Removal of Directors. The provisions
of Union's and King George's Articles providing for classification of the Board
of Directors into three separate classes and removal of directors only for cause
and with the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in the case
of Union and 80% in case of King George of the outstanding shares may have
certain anti-takeover effects.
Authorized Preferred Stock. The Articles of Incorporation of Union
authorize the issuance of preferred stock. The Union Board may, subject to
applicable law and the rules of the Nasdaq National Market, authorize the
issuance of preferred stock at such times, for such purposes and for such
consideration as they may deem advisable without further shareholder approval.
The issuance of preferred stock under certain circumstances may have the effect
of discouraging an attempt by a third
party to acquire control of Union by, for example, authorizing the issuance of a
series of preferred stock with rights and preferences designed to impede the
proposed transaction.
Supermajority Voting Provisions. The Virginia SCA provides that,
unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide for a higher or lower
vote, certain significant corporate actions must be approved by the affirmative
vote of the holders of more than two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on
the matter. Corporate actions requiring a two-thirds vote include amendments to
a corporation's articles of incorporation, adoption of plans of merger or share
exchange, sales of all or substantially all of a corporation's assets other than
in the ordinary course of business and adoption of plans of dissolution
("Fundamental Actions"). The Virginia SCA provides that a corporation's articles
may either increase the vote required to approve Fundamental Actions or may
decrease the required vote to not less than a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast.
The Articles of Incorporation of Union provide that a Fundamental
Action shall be approved by a vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be
cast on such transactions by each voting group entitled to vote on the
transaction, provided that the transaction has been approved and recommended by
at least two-thirds of the directors in office at the time of such approval and
recommendation. If the transaction is not so approved and recommended, then the
transaction shall be approved by the vote of 80% or more of all votes entitled
to be cast on such transactions by each voting group entitled to vote on the
transaction.
The Articles of Incorporation of King George provide that the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of
King George Common Stock is required to approve a "Business Combination" (as
defined in the Articles of Incorporation) with any person who owns or controls
5% or more of the total voting power of all the outstanding voting stock of King
George, except for Business Combinations approved by not less than 80% of the
Board of Directors. A "Business Combination" is defined in the King George
Articles of Incorporation to include: (i) a merger, reorganization or
consolidation with an unaffiliated corporation, the sale, (ii) the sale, lease
or hypothecation of 25% or more of the total assets of King George, and (iii)
the issuance during any twelve-month period of convertible securities, warrants
or options representing, in the aggregate, more than 5% of the total voting
power of all outstanding voting securities to certain persons and their
affiliates who own or control 5% or more of King George Common Stock.
These provisions could tend to make the acquisition of either Union
or King George more difficult to accomplish without the cooperation or
favorable recommendation of either the Union or King George Board, as the case
may be.
Shareholder Meetings. Shareholders of both Union and King George may
not request that a special meeting of shareholders be called.
State Anti-Takeover Statutes. Virginia has two anti-takeover
statutes in force, the Affiliated Transactions Statute and the Control Share
Acquisitions Statute.
Affiliated Transactions. The Virginia SCA contains provisions
governing "affiliated transactions" (including, among other various
transactions, mergers, share exchanges, sales, leases, or other dispositions of
material assets, issuances of securities, dissolutions, and similar
transactions) with an "interested shareholder" (generally the beneficial owner
of more than 10% of any class of the corporation's outstanding voting shares).
During the three years following the date a shareholder becomes an interested
shareholder, any affiliated transaction with the interested
shareholder must be approved by both a majority of the "disinterested directors"
(those directors who were directors before the interested shareholder became an
interested shareholder or who were recommended for election by a majority of
disinterested directors) and by the affirmative vote of the holders of
two-thirds of the corporation's voting shares other than shares beneficially
owned by the interested shareholder. The foregoing requirements do not apply to
affiliated transactions if, among other things, a majority of the disinterested
directors approve the interested shareholder's acquisition of voting shares
making such a person an interested shareholder prior to such acquisition.
Beginning three years after the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder,
the corporation may engage in an affiliated transaction with the interested
shareholder if (i) the transaction is approved by the holders of two-thirds of
the corporation's voting shares, other than shares beneficially owned by the
interested shareholder, (ii) the affiliated transaction has been approved by a
majority of the disinterested directors, or (iii) subject to certain additional
requirements, in the affiliated transaction the holders of each class or series
of voting shares will receive consideration meeting specified fair price and
other requirements designed to ensure that all shareholders receive fair and
equivalent consideration, regardless of when they tendered their shares.
Control Share Acquisitions. Under the Virginia SCA's control share
acquisitions law, voting rights of shares of stock of a Virginia corporation
acquired by an acquiring person at ownership levels of 20%, 33 1/3%, and 50% of
the outstanding shares may, under certain circumstances, be denied unless
conferred by a special shareholder vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote for directors, other than shares held by the acquiring person
and officers and directors of the corporation or, among other exceptions, such
acquisition of shares is made pursuant to a merger agreement with the
corporation or the corporation's articles of incorporation or by-laws permit the
acquisition of such shares prior to the acquiring person's acquisition thereof.
If authorized in the corporation's articles of incorporation or by-laws, the
statute also permits the corporation to redeem the acquired shares at the
average per share price paid for them if the voting rights are not approved or
if the acquiring person does not file a "control share acquisition statement"
with the corporation within sixty days of the last acquisition of such shares.
If voting rights are approved for control shares comprising more than fifty
percent of the corporation's outstanding stock, objecting shareholders may have
the right to have their shares repurchased by the corporation for "fair value".
The provisions of the Affiliated Transactions Statute and the Control
Share Acquisition Statute are only applicable to public corporations that have
more than 300 shareholders. Corporations may provide in their articles of
incorporation or bylaws to opt-out of the Control Share Acquisitions Statute.
Union has not opted-out of the statute. The statutes do not apply to King George
because it has fewer than 300 shareholders.
DIRECTOR AND OFFICER EXCULPATION
The Virginia SCA provides that in any proceeding brought by or in the
right of a corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the
corporation, the damages assessed against an officer or director arising out of
a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct may not exceed the lesser
of (i) the monetary amount, including the elimination of liability, specified in
the articles of incorporation or, if approved by the shareholders, in the bylaws
as a limitation on or elimination of the liability of the officer or director,
or (ii) the greater of (a) $100,000 or (b) the amount of cash compensation
received by the officer or director from the corporation during the twelve
months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability was
imposed. The liability of an officer or director is not limited under the
Virginia SCA or a corporation's articles of
incorporation and bylaws if the officer or director engaged in willful
misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any federal or state
securities law.
Union. The Articles of Incorporation of Union provide that to the
full extent that the Virginia SCA permits the limitation or elimination of the
liability of directors or officers, a director or officer of Union shall not be
liable to Union or its shareholders for monetary damages.
King George. The Articles of Incorporation of King George provide
that to the full extent that the Virginia SCA permits the limitation or
elimination of the liability of directors or officers, a director or officer of
King George shall not be liable to King George or its shareholders for monetary
damages in excess of $1.00.
INDEMNIFICATION
Union. The Articles of Incorporation of Union provide that, to the
full extent permitted by the Virginia SCA and any other applicable law, Union is
required to indemnify a director or officer of Union who is or was a party to
any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was such a director or
officer or is or was serving at the request of the corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The board of
directors is empowered, by majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors,
to contract in advance to indemnify any director or officer.
King George. Similar to Union, the Articles of Incorporation of King
George provide that, to the full extent permitted by the Virginia SCA and any
other applicable law, King George is required to indemnify a director or officer
of King George who is or was a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact
that he is or was such a director or officer or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise. The board of directors is empowered, by majority vote of a
quorum of disinterested directors, to contract in advance to indemnify any
director or officer
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
The provisions of Article 15 of the Virginia SCA provide shareholders
of a Virginia corporation the right to dissent from, and obtain payment of the
fair value of their shares in the event of mergers, share exchanges,
consolidations and certain other corporate transactions. However, Article 15 of
the Virginia SCA provides that holders of shares of a Virginia corporation which
has shares listed on a national securities exchange or which has at least 2,000
record shareholders are not entitled to dissenters' rights unless certain
requirements are met. It is expected that following consummation of the
Affiliation, Union will have approximately 1,910 shareholders of record. For
additional information in this regard, see "Affiliation - Rights of Dissent and
Appraisal."
DESCRIPTION OF UNION CAPITAL STOCK
Union is authorized to issue (i) 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value $4.00 per share, and (ii) 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value
$10.00 per share, which may be issued in series with such powers, designations,
and rights as may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors. On
March 31, 1996, Union had issued and outstanding 3,286,970 shares of Union
Common Stock held by 1,666 shareholders of record. All outstanding shares of
Union Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. No shares of Preferred
Stock have been issued.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of shares of Union Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. Union's ability to pay dividends is dependent upon its
earnings and financial condition of Union and certain legal requirements.
Specifically, the Federal Reserve has stated that bank holding companies should
not pay dividends except out of current earnings and unless the prospective rate
of earnings retention by the company appears consistent with its capital needs,
asset quality and overall financial condition. In addition, Virginia law
precludes any distribution to shareholders if, after giving it effect, (a) Union
would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of
business; or (b) Union's total assets would be less than the sum of its total
liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if Union were to be dissolved
at the time of the distribution to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those
receiving the distribution. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
Union, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Union Common Stock are
entitled to share ratably, after satisfaction in full of all liabilities, in all
remaining assets of Union available for distribution. The dividend and
liquidation rights of Union Common Stock are subject to the rights of any
Preferred Stock that may be issued and outstanding.
Holders of Union Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on
all matters submitted to shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights in
the election of directors or preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of
any class of Union's capital stock. Holders of Union Common Stock have no
conversion or redemption rights. The shares of Union Common Stock presently
outstanding are, and those shares of Union Common Stock to be issued in
connection with the Affiliation will be when issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. Union Common Stock is approved for trading on the Nasdaq National
Market.
Union maintains a Dividend Reinvestment Plan providing for the
purchase of additional shares of Union Common Stock by reinvestment of cash
dividends paid on the outstanding shares of Union Common Stock. Dividends
reinvested are applied to the purchase of shares of Union Common Stock at 95% of
the market value at the time of purchase. The plan permits Union, at its
discretion, to use shares purchased in the over-the-counter market or to use
Union's authorized and unissued shares in order to satisfy the plan's
requirements.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, is empowered to
authorize the issuance, in one or more series, of shares of Preferred Stock at
such times, for such purposes and for such consideration as it may deem
advisable. The Board of Directors is also authorized to fix before the issuance
thereof the designations, voting, conversion, preference and other relative
rights, qualifications and limitations of any such series of Preferred Stock.
The Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, may authorize
the issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion
rights which could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Union
Common Stock and, under certain circumstances, discourage an attempt by others
to gain control of Union.
The creation and issuance of any additional series of Preferred
Stock, and the relative rights, designations and preferences of such series, if
and when established, will depend upon, among other things, the future capital
needs of Union, then existing market conditions and other factors that, in the
judgment of the Board of Directors, might warrant the issuance of Preferred
Stock.

Appendix II hereto and incorporated in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus by

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of King George State Bank,
Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of King George State Bank, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
King George State Bank, Inc., a Virginia corporation, provides general
commercial banking services to individuals and businesses primarily within King
George County, Virginia and surrounding communities. It is a member of the
Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is also
subject to the regulations of certain Federal and State agencies. It undergoes
periodic examinations by regulatory authorities.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity
are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed by the interest
method. Other marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are
carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities
available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases in
stockholders' equity. The cost of securities sold is recognized using the
specific identification method.
MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES
Mortgage-backed securities represent participating interests in pools of
long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by issuers of the
securities. Mortgage-backed securities are carried at unpaid principal balances,
adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts. Premiums and discounts
are amortized using methods approximating the interest method over the remaining
period to contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Mortgage
backed securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to maturity
are classified as held-to-maturity. Other mortgage backed securities are
classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Should any be
sold, cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification
method.
LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount
and an allowance for loan losses. Unearned discount on installment loans is
recognized as income over the terms of the loans. Interest on other loans is
calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the
principal amount outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on
management's evaluation of the

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)
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. Changes in the
allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision
for loan losses. Because of uncertainties inherent in the estimation process,
management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the
related allowance may change in the near term. Accrual of interest is
discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and
business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial
condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
The premises and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is based on
estimated useful service lives and is computed on the straight-line method.
CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The statement of cash flows reconciles net income with the change in cash and
due from banks. The indirect method has been used. For purposes of reporting
cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from
banks.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares outstanding.
LOAN COSTS
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs of completed loans are
deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yields on related loans over the
lives of the loans.
INCOME TAXES
In 1993, the Bank adopted FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires an assets and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of the
allowance for loan losses, premises and equipment, deferred loan costs and
deferred compensation liability for financial and income tax reporting. The
deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences
of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets
and liabilities are recovered or settled. Income tax expense is the tax payable
or refundable for the year plus or minus the change for the year in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.

FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE
Foreclosed real estate includes both formally foreclosed property and
in-substance foreclosed property. In-substance foreclosed properties are those
properties for which the Bank has taken physical possession, regardless of
whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place.
At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at the lower of
the Bank's cost or the asset's fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which
becomes the property's new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair
value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs
incurred in maintaining foreclosed real estate and subsequent write-downs to
reflect declines in the fair value of the property are included in income (loss)
on foreclosed real estate.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
presentations.

NOTE 9: DIRECTORS' BENEFIT PLAN:
The Bank maintains a voluntary deferred compensation program which permits
eligible directors and officers to defer receipt of a portion of their
directors' fees. There are 10 eligible participants and 7 have elected to
participate. The Bank has purchased life insurance on all of the participants in
amounts that, in the aggregate, actuarially fund its future liabilities under
this program, and it is the owner and sole beneficiary of all such insurance.
The program has been designed so that, if assumptions as to mortality
experience, policy dividends, tax effects, and other factors are realized, the
compensation deferred by a participant and the death benefits payable to the
Bank under the insurance policies will cover all premium payments and benefit
payments, plus a factor for the use of funds of the Bank.
While the insurance policies were purchased as a means of funding the deferred
compensation liability created under this plan, there exists no obligation to
use any insurance funds from policy loans or death proceeds to curtail the
deferred compensation liability. Under the terms of the directors' benefit plan,
a participant, or his beneficiary, will receive upon retirement a monthly
retirement payment for life, payable for a minimum of 15 years. The plan also
provides for a reduced payment to a participant's beneficiary in the event that
the participant dies prior to retirement, payable for a period of 15 years from
the date of death. A participant's retirement date is considered to be the later
of the date a participant turns age 65 or completes 10 years of plan
participation.
The deferred compensation liability as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled
$697,271 and $673,341, respectively. The deferred compensation plan expense
totaled $39,643, $55,597, and $73,823 for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
The Bank began paying benefits during 1995 and $15,713 was paid to eligible
participants.
Anticipated payments for the next five years are as follows:
1996 $ 36,671
1997 39,818
1998 49,258
1999 49,258

NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank had
outstanding letters of credit totaling $874,044 and $993,313 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively, and it does not anticipate losses as a result of

NOTE 14: DISCLAIMER:
This financial information has not been reviewed, or confirmed for accuracy or
relevance, by the Federal Reserve System.
NOTE 15: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK:
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of
financial condition.
F-17
KING GEORGE STATE BANK, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 15: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK: (Continued)
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments (see Note 10). The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments.
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 Bank evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount and type of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, varies and
is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of
credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and
may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Bank's policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such
collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to
extend credit.

Part II -- Information Not Required in Prospectus
Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to which the Company
is incorporated permit it to indemnify its officers and directors against
certain liabilities with the approval of its shareholders. The articles of
incorporation of the Company, which have been approved by its shareholders,
provide for the indemnification of each director and officer (including former
directors and officers and each person who may have served at the request of the
Company as a director or officer of any other legal entity and, in all such
cases, his or her heirs, executors and administrators) against liabilities
(including expenses) reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any
actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be made
party by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the
Company, except in relation to any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she
has been adjudged liable because of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of
the criminal law.
The Company has purchased officers' and directors' liability insurance
policies. Within the limits of their coverage, the policies insure (1) the
directors and officers of the Company against certain losses resulting from
claims against them in their capacities as directors and officers to the extent
that such losses are not indemnified by the Company and (2) the Company to the
extent that it indemnifies such directors and officers for losses as permitted
under the laws of Virginia.

Item 22. Undertakings
(a) Item 512 of Regulation S-K.
Rule 415 offerings. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
II-2
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
Registration on Form S-4. (1) The undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities
registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this
registration statement, by any person or party which is deemed to be an
underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such
reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable
registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of
the applicable form.
(2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that
is filed pursuant to paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection
with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of
an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Request for acceleration of effective date or filing registration
statement on Form S-8. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payments by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-3
(b) Item 22(b) of Form S-4
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to
requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus
pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of
receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class
mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in
documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement
through the date of responding to the request.
(c) Item 22(c) of Form S-4
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by
means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction,
and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.
