QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE STOCK OFFERING
Q: What is the purpose of the offering?
A: The offering means that you will have the opportunity to share in our
future as an indirect owner of Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association by becoming a shareholder of our newly formed holding
company, Union Community Bancorp. The stock offering will increase our
capital and the amount of funds available to us for lending and
investment activities. This will give us greater flexibility to
diversify operations and expand into other geographic markets if we
choose to do so. As a stock savings association operating through a
holding company structure, we will have the ability to plan and develop
long-term growth and improve our future access to the capital markets.
In addition, our shareholders might also receive dividends and benefit
from any long-term appreciation of our stock price if our earnings are
sufficient in the future.
Q: How do I purchase the stock?
A: You must complete and return the Stock Order Form to us together with
your payment, on or before December ___, 1997.
Q: How much stock may I purchase?
A: The minimum purchase is 25 shares (or $250). Each Eligible Account
Holder, Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and Other Member, in his
capacity as such, may purchase up to 20,000 shares (or $200,000),
subject to an overall maximum of 30,417 shares ($304,170). In certain
instances, your purchase may be grouped together with purchases by
other persons who are associated with you. Joint account holders
ordering through a single account may not collectively exceed these
purchase limitations. The maximum number of shares that you may
purchase in the Community Offering, if any, is 20,000 shares. If you
purchase shares in the Subscription Offering, however, your purchase of
additional shares in the Community Offering will be restricted to the
lesser of (i) 20,000 shares or (ii) the number of shares which when
added to the number of shares subscribed for by you and persons
associated with you in the Subscription Offering (including all persons
on a joint account) would not exceed 30,417 shares. We may decrease or
increase the maximum purchase limitation without notifying you. If the
offering is oversubscribed, shares will be allocated based upon a
formula.
Q: What happens if there are not enough shares to fill all orders?
A: You might not receive any or all of the shares you want to purchase. If
there is an oversubscription, the stock will be offered on a priority
basis to the following persons:
o Persons who had a deposit account with us on December 31,
1995. (Union Community Bancorp's employee stock ownership plan
will have priority over such persons if more than 2,645,000
shares are sold, to the extent of any shares sold over
2,645,000 and up to the number of shares subscribed for by
such plan). Any remaining shares will be offered to:
o The employee stock ownership plan of Union Community Bancorp.
Any remaining shares will be offered to:
o Persons who had a deposit account with us on September 30,
1997. Any remaining shares will be offered to:
o Other depositors of ours, as of October 31, 1997, and our
borrowers as of July 30, 1997 who remain borrowers on October
31, 1997.
If the above persons do not subscribe for all of the shares, the
remaining shares will be offered to certain members of the general
public in a Community Offering, with preference given to people who
live in Montgomery County, Indiana.
<PAGE>
Q: What particular factors should I consider when deciding whether or not
to buy the stock?
A: Before you decide to purchase stock, you should read this Prospectus.
In particular, you should read and consider the Risk Factors section on
pages 13 to 16 of this document.
Q: As a depositor of Union Federal Savings and Loan Association, what will
happen if I do not purchase any stock?
A: You presently have voting rights while we are in the mutual form;
however, once we convert to the stock form you will lose your voting
rights unless you purchase stock. Even if you do purchase stock, your
voting rights will depend on the amount of stock that you own and not
on your deposit account at Union Federal Savings and Loan Association.
You are not required to purchase stock. Your deposit account,
certificate accounts and any loans you may have with us will not be
affected by the Conversion.
Q: Can I purchase stock on behalf of someone else who does not have an
account or is not a borrower at Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association?
A: No. You may not transfer the subscription rights that you have as a
depositor or borrower at Union Federal Savings and Loan Association.
You will be required to certify that you are purchasing shares solely
for your own account and that you have no agreement or understanding
with another person involving the transfer of the shares that you
purchase. We will not honor orders for shares of the Common Stock by
anyone known to us to be a party to such an agreement and we will
pursue all legal remedies against any person who is a party to such an
agreement.
Q: Who can help answer any other questions I may have about the stock
offering?
A: In order to make an informed investment decision, you should read this
entire document. This section highlights selected information and may

SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information from this document and may
not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand the
stock offering fully, you should read carefully this entire document, including
the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated
financial statements of Union Federal Savings and Loan Association. References
in this document to "we", "us", "our" and "Union Federal" refer to Union Federal
Savings and Loan Association. In certain instances where appropriate, "us" or
"our" refers collectively to Union Community Bancorp and Union Federal Savings
and Loan Association. References in this document to "the Holding Company" refer

The Companies
Union Community Bancorp
221 E. Main Street
Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933
(765) 362-2400
Union Community Bancorp is not an operating company and has not engaged
in any significant business to date. It was formed in September, 1997, as an
Indiana corporation to be the holding company for Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association. The holding company structure will provide greater flexibility in
terms of operations, expansion and diversification. See page 16.
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
221 E. Main Street
Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933
(765) 362-2400
We are a community- and customer-oriented federal mutual savings and
loan association. We provide financial services to individuals, families and
small business. Historically, we have emphasized residential mortgage lending,
primarily one- to four-family mortgage loans. On June 30, 1997, we had total
assets of $84.3 million, deposits of $62.1 million, and retained earnings of
$14.5 million. See page 17.
The Stock Offering
Union Community Bancorp is offering for sale between 1,955,000 and
2,645,000 shares of its Common Stock at $10 per share. This offering may be
increased to 3,041,750 shares without further notice to you if market or
financial conditions change prior to the completion of this stock offering or if
additional shares of stock are needed to fill the order of our employee stock
ownership plan.
Stock Purchases
Union Community Bancorp will offer shares of its Common Stock to our
depositors who held deposit accounts as of certain dates and to our borrowers
with outstanding loans as of certain dates. The shares will be offered first in
a Subscription Offering and any remaining shares may be offered in a Community
Offering to members of the general public with preference given to residents of
Montgomery County. See pages 29 to 32. We have engaged Trident Securities, Inc.
to assist in the marketing of the Common Stock.
Prohibition on Transfer of Subscription Rights
You may not sell or assign your subscription rights. Any transfer of
subscription rights is prohibited by law. If you exercise your subscription
rights, you will be required to certify that you are purchasing shares solely
for your own account and that you have no agreement or understanding regarding
the sale or transfer of shares. We intend to pursue any and all legal and
equitable remedies in the event we become aware of the transfer of subscription
rights and will not honor orders known by us to involve the transfer of such
rights. In addition, persons who violate the purchase limitations may be subject
to sanctions and penalties imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
<PAGE>
The Offering Range and Determination of the Price Per Share
The offering range is based on an independent appraisal of the pro
forma market value of the Common Stock by RP Financial, LC., an appraisal firm
experienced in appraisals of savings associations. RP Financial, LC. has
estimated that, in its opinion, as of August 22, 1997, and as updated as of
October 17, 1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the Common Stock
ranged between $19,550,000 and $26,450,000 (with a mid-point of $23,000,000).
The pro forma market value of the shares is our market value after taking into
account the sale of shares in this offering. The appraisal was based in part
upon our financial condition and operations and the effect of the additional
capital raised by the sale of Common Stock in this offering. The $10.00 price
per share was determined by our board of directors and is the price most
commonly used in stock offerings involving conversions of mutual savings
associations. If the pro forma market value of the Common Stock changes to
either below $19,550,000 or above $30,417,500, we will notify you and provide
you with the opportunity to modify or cancel your order. See pages 35 to 36.
Termination of the Offering
The Subscription Offering will terminate at 12:00 noon, Crawfordsville
time, on December ___, 1997. The Community Offering, if any, may terminate at
any time without notice but no later than January ___, 1998, without approval by
the OTS.
Benefits to Management from the Offering
Our full-time employees will participate in our employee stock
ownership plan, which is a form of retirement plan that will purchase shares of
Union Community Bancorp's Common Stock. We also intend to implement a management
recognition and retention plan and a stock option plan following completion of
the Conversion, which will benefit our officers and directors. If we adopt the
management recognition and retention plan, our executive officers and directors
will be awarded shares of Common Stock without paying cash for the shares.
However, the management recognition and retention plan and stock option plan may
not be adopted until at least six months after the Conversion and are subject to
shareholder approval and compliance with OTS regulations. We also have entered
into a three-year employment contract with Joseph E. Timmons, our President and
Chief Executive Officer, in connection with the Conversion. See pages 68 to 72.
Use of the Proceeds Raised from the Sale of Common Stock
Union Community Bancorp intends to use a portion of the proceeds from
the stock offering to make a loan to our employee stock ownership plan to fund
its purchase of 8% of the Common Stock issued in the Conversion, up to a maximum
of 184,000 shares. Union Community Bancorp will use 50% of the proceeds that
remain after it pays expenses incurred in connection with the Conversion to
purchase all of the capital stock to be issued by Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association. Union Community Bancorp will retain the balance of the proceeds as
a possible source of funds for the payment of dividends to shareholders, to
repurchase shares of Common Stock in the future, to acquire one or more other
financial institutions or for other general corporate purposes. On a short-term
basis, the Holding Company may invest the net proceeds it retains in short-term
investments. The Holding Company has no present plans to acquire another
financial institution. See pages 17 to 18.
Dividends
Management of Union Community Bancorp expects initially to pay
quarterly cash dividends on the shares of Common Stock at an annual rate of 3%
($0.30 per share based on the $10.00 per share offering price) commencing after
the quarter ended March 31, 1998. See Page 18.
<PAGE>
Market for the Common Stock
Union Community Bancorp has received conditional approval to have its
Common Stock quoted on the National Association of Security Dealers Automated
Quotation National Market System under the symbol "UCBC." Even though we expect
that the shares of Common Stock will be sold on the Nasdaq National Market
System, it is unlikely that an active and liquid trading market for the shares
will develop and be maintained. Investors should have a long-term investment
intent. If you purchase shares, you may not be able to sell them when you want
to at a price that is equal to or more than the price you paid. See page 19.
Important Risks in Owning the Holding Company's Common Stock
Before you decide to purchase stock in the offering, you should read
the Risk Factors section on pages 13 to 16 of this document.

accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Financial Condition at September 30, 1997 Compared to Financial Condition at
December 31, 1996
Our total consolidated assets increased by $2.9 million, or 3.6%, to
$85.7 million at September 30, 1997 from $82.8 million at December 31, 1996. Our
loans receivable increased $2.7 million, or 3.7%, while deposits increased $1.7
million or 2.8%. We funded the increase in loans primarily with the increase in
our deposits. Capital increased $865,000 or 6.2%, to $14.8 million at September
30, 1997 from $13.9 million at December 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
and 1996
Net Income. Net income increased $235,000 to $302,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 from $67,000 for the same period in
1996. The increase in net income was impacted primarily by the $362,000
($219,000 net of tax) one-time SAIF special assessment charged to expense in the
three-month period ended September 30, 1996.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $41,000, or 6.0%, to
$725,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997, from $684,000 for
the comparable period in 1996. This increase was due primarily to an increase of
$3.9 million in average interest-earning assets to $82.3 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $78.3 million for
three-month period ended September 30, 1996. Also, our interest rate spread
increased to 2.54% for 1997 as compared to 2.51% for the same period in 1996.
Provision for Loan Losses. Our provisions for loan losses for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and for the comparable period in 1996 were
$27,000 and $12,000 respectively, an increase of $15,000. We did not have any
charegoffs or recoveries on loans during the three-month periods ended September
30, 1997 and 1996. We increased our loan loss provision primarily to give
consideration to the growth in loans and to individually large multi-family and
non-residential real estate loans and the inherent risk associated with these
types of loans.
Other Losses. Our other losses decreased $45,000 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable period in 1996.
This decrease was due primarily to the decrease in the loss from our investment
in a low-income housing tax credit limited partnership.
Other Expenses. Our non-interest expense decreased $338,000 to $245,000
in 1997 from $583,000 in 1996. This decrease was due largely to the one-time
SAIF special assessment of $362,000 in 1996.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense increased $174,000 due to an
increase in taxable income of approximately $400,000.
<PAGE>
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and
1996
Net Income. Net income increased $262,000 to $865,000 in 1997 from
$603,000 for 1996. This increase primarily resulted from our recognition of the
one-time, non-recurring SAIF special assessment in the amount of $362,000
($219,000 net of tax) during 1996. This decrease in expense was offset by an
increase of $102,000 in our provision for loan losses in 1997 compared to 1996.
Net Interest Income. Our net interest income increased $201,000 to $2.2
million in 1997 from $2.0 million in 1996. This increase primarily resulted from
the growth in average interest-earning assets of $7.2 million to $81.8 million
in 1997 from $74.7 million in 1996. Also, our interest rate spread increased to
2.59% for 1997 compared to 2.53% for 1996.
Provision for Loan Losses. Our provisions for loan losses for 1997 and
1996 were $138,000 and $36,000, respectively. We increased our provision for
1997 due to an increase in outstanding loans and losses recorded in 1997
associated with a non-performing loan secured by multi-family real estate. In
response to the loss experienced in 1997, we increased the risk factor used on
multi-family and commercial real estate loans. Our allowance for loan losses as
of September 30, 1997 was $225,000.
Other Expenses. Our other expenses decreased $333,000 to $694,000 in
1997 from $1,027,000 in 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to a
one-time special SAIF assessment of $362,000.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense increased $178,000 to
$381,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 from $203,000 for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 due to an increase in income of
$440,000.
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this document, you should
consider carefully the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in the
Common Stock.
Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Lending
As of June 30, 1997, we had commercial real estate and multi-family
loans of $3.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, or 4.7% and 13.6%,
respectively, of our total loan portfolio as of that date. Although commercial
real estate and multi-family loans provide higher interest rates and shorter
terms, these loans have higher credit risks than one- to four-family residential
loans. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans often involve large loan
balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition,
payment experience on loans secured by such properties typically depends upon
the successful operation of the properties and thus may be subject to a greater
extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or in the general
economy. Accordingly, the nature of the loans makes them more difficult for
management to monitor and evaluate. Although none of our commercial real estate
and multi-family loans were non-performing as of June 30, 1997, if a significant
number of borrowers under these types of loans develop problems, we may be
required to increase by a significant amount our allowance for loan losses
because of the relatively large size of these loans. This, in turn, would reduce
our net income. See "Business of Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association--Lending Activities."
<PAGE>
Dependence on President and Possible New Management
Our successful operations depend to a considerable degree on our
President, Joseph E. Timmons, who is 63 years of age. We have entered into a
three-year employment agreement with Mr. Timmons. The employment agreement
requires certain payments to Mr. Timmons if he is terminated without "just
cause" by us or by an entity that acquires us, or if Mr. Timmons terminates the
employment agreement "for cause." The loss of Mr. Timmons' services could
adversely affect us. While the board of directors is seeking to attract and
retain additional management either as a successor or supplement to Mr. Timmons,
there is no assurance that such individuals will be attracted or retained. If
such individuals are retained, their participation in our management could
result in changes to our operating strategy which could affect our
profitability. See "Management of Union Federal Savings and Loan Association"
and "Executive Compensation and Related Transactions of Union Federal--
Employment Contract."
Geographic Concentration of Loans
Substantially all of our real estate mortgage loans are secured by
properties located in Indiana, mostly in Montgomery County. The economy in
Montgomery County is based on a mixture of agricultural (primarily beans, wheat,
oats, and livestock) and industrial (primarily automotive parts, commercial
printing and various small industries), as well as a variety of service,
wholesale and retail businesses. R.R. Donnelly & Sons, a commercial printer, is
the county's largest employer with approximately 2,100 employees. A weakening in
the local real estate market or in the local or national economy, or a reduction
in the workforce at the manufacturing facilities in the area could result in an
increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans and a reduction
in the value of the collateral securing the loans, which could reduce our
earnings.
Allowance for Loan Losses
We have established our allowance for loan losses based upon historic
practice and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We
determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses based upon estimates
that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic
environment and changes in market conditions. Thus, a weakening in the local or
national economy would likely require us to increase our allowance for loan
losses to account for the increased likelihood that we would experience losses
from our loan portfolio. At June 30, 1997, our allowance for loan losses was
$198,000, or .27% of total loans outstanding. This amount reflects our history
of low loan losses and our low level of non-performing assets and, based upon
information currently available to us, we believe that this amount is sufficient
to absorb estimated loan losses. There can be no assurance, however, that
regulators, when reviewing our loan portfolio in the future, will not require us
to increase our allowance for loan losses. Any future increase in our allowance
for loan losses would adversely affect earnings.
<PAGE>
Anti-Takeover Provisions and Statutory Provisions That Could Discourage Hostile
Acquisitions of Control
Provisions in the Holding Company's articles of incorporation, the
corporation law of the state of Indiana, and certain federal regulations may
make it difficult and expensive to pursue a tender offer, change in control or
takeover attempt which our management opposes. As a result, shareholders who
might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to
do so. Such provisions will also render the removal of the current board of
directors or management of the Holding Company, or the appointment of new
directors to the Board, more difficult. For example, the Holding Company's
Bylaws provide that directors must be residents of Montgomery County, Indiana,
must have maintained a deposit or loan relationship with us for at least 12
months and, with respect to a non-employee director, must have served as a
member of a civic or community organization in Montgomery County for at least 12
months in the five-year period prior to being nominated to the Board (or in the
case of existing directors, prior to September 11, 1997). Further restrictions
include: restrictions on the acquisition of the Holding Company's equity
securities and limitations on voting rights; the classification of the terms of
the members of the board of directors; certain provisions relating to meetings
of shareholders; denial of cumulative voting by shareholders in the election of
directors; the issuance of preferred stock and additional shares of Common Stock
without shareholder approval; and super majority provisions for the approval of
certain business combinations. These provisions may reduce the trading price of
our stock. See "Restrictions on Acquisition of the Holding Company."
Lack of Active Market for Common Stock
Even though we expect that the Common Stock will be listed on the
Nasdaq National Market System, it is highly unlikely that an active trading
market will develop and be maintained. If an active market does not develop, you
may not be able to sell your shares promptly or perhaps at all, or sell your
shares at a price equal to or above the price you paid for the shares. The
Common Stock may not be appropriate as a short-term investment. See "Market for
the Common Stock."
Decreased Return on Average Equity and Increased Expenses Immediately After
Conversion
Return on average equity (net income divided by average equity) is a
ratio commonly used to compare the performance of a savings association to its
peers. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, our returns on
average equity (on an annualized basis) were 7.9% and 8.04%, respectively. A
lower return on equity could reduce the trading price of our shares. As a result
of the Conversion, our equity will increase substantially. Our expenses also
will increase because of the costs associated with our employee stock ownership
plan ("ESOP"), management recognition and retention plan ("RRP"), and the costs
of being a public company. Because of the increases in our equity and expenses,
our return on equity is likely to decrease as compared to our performance in
previous years. Initially, Union Federal intends to use a portion of the
proceeds of this offering to repay some or all of its short-term obligations
owed to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLB of Indianapolis").
Union Federal may also use some of the proceeds to purchase loan participations
and mortgage-backed securities on the secondary market and, on an interim basis,
to invest in U.S. government securities and federal agency securities which
generally have lower yields than residential mortgage loans. See "Use of
Proceeds."
Potential Impact of Changes in Interest Rates and the Current Interest Rate
Environment
Our ability to make a profit, like that of most financial institutions,
substantially depends upon our net interest income, which is the difference
between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets (such as
mortgage loans) and the interest expense we pay on our interest-bearing
liabilities (such as deposits). As of June 30, 1997, approximately 72 percent of
our mortgage loans have rates of interest which are fixed for the term of the
loan ("fixed rate") and are originated generally with terms of 15 or 20 years,
while deposit accounts have significantly shorter terms to maturity. Because our
interest-earning assets generally have fixed rates of interest and have longer
effective maturities than our interest-bearing liabilities, the yield on our
interest earning assets generally will adjust more slowly to changes in interest
rates than the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, our net
interest income will be adversely affected by material and prolonged increases
in interest rates. In addition, rising interest rates may adversely affect our
earnings because there might be a lack of customer demand for loans. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of Union Federal Savings and Loan Association -- Asset/Liability
Management."
<PAGE>
Changes in interest rates also can affect the average life of loans and
mortgage-backed securities. Historically lower interest rates in recent periods
have resulted in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities,
as borrowers refinanced their mortgages in order to reduce their borrowing cost.
Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent
that we are not able to reinvest such prepayments at rates which are comparable
to the rates on the prepaid loans or securities.
Intent to Remain Independent
We have operated as an independent community oriented savings and loan
association since 1913 and we intend to continue to operate in this manner
following the Conversion. Accordingly, you are urged not to subscribe for shares
of our Common Stock if you are anticipating a quick sale by us. See "Business of
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association."
Possible Voting Control by Directors and Officers
Our directors and executive officers intend to subscribe for 134,250
shares of Common Stock which, at the midpoint of the Estimated Valuation Range,
would constitute 5.8% of the outstanding shares. When aggregated with the shares
of Common Stock our executive officers and directors expect to acquire through
the Stock Option Plan and RRP, our executive officers and directors would own
approximately 387,250 shares of Common Stock, or 15.6% of the outstanding shares
at the midpoint of the Estimated Valuation Range. This ownership of Common Stock
by our management could make it difficult to obtain majority support for
shareholder proposals which are opposed by management. In addition, our
management would be able to block the approval of transactions or actions (i.e.,
business combinations and amendment to our articles of incorporation and bylaws)
requiring the approval of 80% of the shareholders under the Holding Company's
articles of incorporation if additional shares are issued to them pursuant to
the RRP and/or the Stock Option Plan. These shares may either be purchased from
the market or acquired from the Holding Company's authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock. See "Proposed Purchases by Directors and Executive Officers,"
"Executive Compensation and Related Transactions of Union Federal," "Description
of Capital Stock," and "Restrictions on Acquisition of the Holding Company."
Possible Dilutive Effect of RRP and Stock Options
If the Conversion is completed and shareholders approve the RRP and
Stock Option Plan, we intend to issue shares to our officers and directors
through these plans. If the shares for the RRP are issued from our authorized
but unissued stock, your ownership percentage could be diluted by up to
approximately 3.8% at the midpoint of the Estimated Valuation Range. If the
shares for the Stock Option Plan are issued from our authorized but unissued
stock, your ownership percentage could be diluted by up to approximately 2.9% at
the midpoint of the Estimated Valuation Range. In either case, the trading price
of our Common Stock may be reduced. See "Pro Forma Data" and "Executive
Compensation and Related Transactions of Union Federal."
Financial Institution Regulation and Future of the Thrift Industry
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"). A bill has been introduced in the Congress that would
consolidate the OTS with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. If this
statute is approved we could be forced to become a state or national commercial
bank, and become subject to regulation by a different government agency. If we
become a commercial bank, our investment authority and the ability of the
Holding Company to engage in diversified activities may be limited or
prohibited, which could affect our profitability. It is impossible at this time
to predict the impact of any such legislation on our operations. See
"Regulation."
<PAGE>
Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares
During the first year following the Conversion, the Holding Company may
not generally repurchase its shares except in unusual circumstances as permitted
by the OTS. During each of the second and third years following the Conversion,
the Holding Company may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares. During
those periods, if we decide that repurchases above those limits would be a good
use of funds, we would not be able to do so, without obtaining OTS approval.
There is no assurance that OTS approval would be given. See "The Conversion --
Restrictions on Repurchase of Stock by the Holding Company." Competition
We experience strong competition in our local market area in both
originating loans and attracting deposits, primarily from commercial banks,
thrifts and credit unions. Such competition may limit our growth in the future.
See "Competition."
Risk of Delayed Offering
Although we expect to complete the Conversion within the time periods
indicated in this Prospectus, it is possible that adverse market, economic or
other factors could significantly delay the completion of the Conversion, which
could significantly increase our Conversion costs. In this case, however, you
would have the right to modify or rescind your subscription and to have your
subscription funds returned to you promptly, with interest. In the event that
the Conversion is not completed, we will remain a mutual savings and loan
association, and all subscription funds will be promptly returned to
subscribers, with interest. See "The Conversion."
Income Tax Consequences of Subscription Rights
If the Internal Revenue Service were to determine that the subscription
rights offered to you in connection with the Conversion have an ascertainable
value, your exercise of your subscription rights could result in the recognition
of taxable income. In the opinion of RP Financial, LC. ("RP Financial"),
however, the subscription rights do not have an ascertainable fair market value.
See "The Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion - Tax Effects."
PROPOSED PURCHASES BY DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The following table sets forth the intended purchases of Common Stock
by each director and executive officer and their Associates in the Conversion.
All directors and executive officers will pay the same Purchase Price as all
subscribers and will be subject to the same terms and conditions. In addition,
directors and executive officers may not re-sell the shares of Common Stock that
they purchase for at least one year from the date that they purchase the shares.
All shares will be purchased for investment purposes and not for purposes of
resale. The table assumes that 2,300,000 shares (the midpoint of the Estimated
Value Range) of the Common Stock will be sold at $10.00 per share and that
sufficient shares will be available to satisfy subscriptions.

UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP
The Holding Company was formed in September, 1997 as an Indiana
corporation to be the holding company for Union Federal. The Holding Company has
not engaged in any significant business to date and, for that reason, its
financial statements are not included herein. The Holding Company has received
approval from the OTS to become a savings and loan holding company through the
acquisition of all of the capital stock of Union Federal to be issued upon
completion of the Conversion.
The Holding Company will initially receive 50% of the net Conversion
proceeds after payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Conversion.
The holding company structure will provide the Holding Company with greater
flexibility than Union Federal to diversify its business activities, either
through newly-formed subsidiaries or through acquisitions. The Holding Company
has no present plans regarding diversification, acquisitions or expansion,
however. The Holding Company initially will not conduct any active business and
does not intend to employ any persons other than its officers, although it may
utilize our support staff from time to time.

UNION FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
We were originally organized in 1913 as "Union Savings and Loan
Association of Crawfordsville," a state-chartered savings association. We have
operated since then as an independent, community-oriented savings association.
In 1962, we converted to a federal charter and changed our name to "Union
Federal Savings and Loan Association." We currently conduct our business from a
full-service office located in Crawfordsville, which is located in Montgomery
County, Indiana. We believe that we have developed a solid reputation among our
loyal customer base because of our commitment to personal service and our strong
support of the local community. We offer a variety of lending, deposit and other
financial services to our retail and commercial customers.
We attract deposits from the general public and originate mortgage
loans, most of which are secured by one- to four-family residential real
property in Montgomery County. We also offer multi-family loans, commercial real
estate loans, construction loans, loans secured by deposits and home-improvement
loans. We derive most of our funds for lending from deposits of our customers,
which consist primarily of certificates of deposit, demand accounts and savings
accounts.
We have maintained a relatively strong capital position by focusing
primarily on residential real estate mortgage lending in Montgomery County,
Indiana and, to a limited extent, in other nearby counties. At June 30, 1997, we
had total assets of $84.3 million, deposits of $62.1 million and retained
earnings of $14.5 million, or 17.2% of assets. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996, we had net income of $886,000, a return on assets of 1.1% and
a return on equity of 6.5%. We have historically experienced very few asset
quality problems in our total loan portfolio, and at June 30, 1997, our ratio of
non-performing assets to total assets was .24%. During the six months ended June
30, 1997, we charged off $72,000 of loans. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 1996, we did not charge off any loans.
MARKET AREA
Our primary market area is Montgomery County, Indiana. Crawfordsville,
the county seat of Montgomery County, is located in central Indiana,
approximately 45 miles west of Indianapolis. According to the U.S. Bureau of
Census, in 1996 the city of Crawfordsville had a population of 16,096, and
Montgomery County had a population of 35,888 residents. The Crawfordsville
economy is based on a mixture of agriculture (primarily beans, wheat, oats and
livestock) and industrial (primarily automotive parts, commercial printing and
various small industries), as well as a variety of service, wholesale and retail
businesses. R.R. Donnelley & Sons, Lithonia Hi-Tek Lighting and Raybestos
Products are Crawfordsville's largest employers. Crawfordsville is also home to
Wabash College which has a student population of 800.
<PAGE>
Most of our deposits and lending activities come from individuals
residing in Montgomery County. Montgomery County had an unemployment rate of
3.0% as of June 30, 1997 compared to a nationwide unemployment rate of 5.2%. We
think that our diverse economy will continue to provide for a stable market
area.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Holding Company will retain 50% of the net proceeds from the
offering, after payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Conversion,
and will use the balance of the proceeds to purchase all of the capital stock
issued by Union Federal in connection with the Conversion. A portion of the net
proceeds to be retained by the Holding Company will be loaned to our employee
stock plan to fund its purchase of 8% of the shares of the Holding Company sold
in the Conversion. On a short-term basis, the balance of the net proceeds
retained by the Holding Company initially may be invested in cash and short-term
investments with laddered maturities. The Holding Company intends to develop
prudent investment policies under which it will invest the proceeds in a manner
that limits credit risk while maximizing yields, and which will provide a
continuous source of cash to enhance operating flexibility. The Holding Company
may also use the proceeds as a source of funds to acquire one or more other
financial institutions, to pay dividends to shareholders or to repurchase shares
of Common Stock. The Holding Company has no present plans to acquire another
financial institution, however. The Holding Company will not take any action in
furtherance of an extraordinary capital distribution during the year following
the Conversion.
Union Federal intends to use a portion of the net proceeds that it
receives from the Holding Company to make adjustable- and fixed-rate mortgage
loans and commercial real estate loans to the extent there is demand for such
loans and subject to market conditions. Union Federal may also use a portion of
the net proceeds to fund the purchase of up to 4% of the shares for the RRP
which we anticipate will be adopted by our Board following the Conversion,
subject to shareholder approval, and to repay some or all of its borrowings from
the FHLB of Indianapolis. We anticipate that the balance of the proceeds may be
used to purchase loan participations and possibly mortgage-backed securities in
the secondary market. On an interim basis, we may use some of the net proceeds
to invest in U.S. government securities and other federal agency securities. See
"Business of Union Federal Savings and Loan Association -- Investments."
The following table shows estimated gross and net proceeds based upon
shares of Common Stock being sold in the Conversion at the minimum, midpoint,
maximum and 15% above the maximum of the Estimated Valuation Range.

</TABLE>
(1) In calculating estimated net Conversion proceeds, it has been assumed that
no sales will be made through selected dealers, that all shares are sold in
the Subscription Offering, that executive officers and directors of Union
Federal and their Associates purchase 134,250 shares of Common Stock in the
Conversion, and that the ESOP acquires 8% of the shares of Common Stock
issued in the Conversion, up to a maximum of 184,000 shares.
(2) As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares which
could occur due to an increase in the Estimated Valuation Range of up to
15% to reflect changes in market and financial conditions following the
commencement of the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, if
any.
<PAGE>
The actual net proceeds may differ from the estimated net proceeds
calculated above for various reasons, including variances in the actual amount
of legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the Conversion,
commissions paid for sales made through other dealers, and the actual number of
shares of Common Stock sold in the Conversion. Any variance in the actual net
proceeds from the estimates provided in the table above is not expected to be
material.
DIVIDENDS
Upon Conversion, the Holding Company's board of directors will have the
authority to declare dividends, subject to statutory and regulatory
restrictions. The Holding Company expects initially to pay quarterly cash
dividends on the shares at a rate of 3% per annum ($0.30 per share per annum
based on the $10.00 per share offering price) commencing after the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. However, declarations of dividends by the board of directors
will depend upon a number of factors, including: (i) the amount of the net
proceeds retained by the Holding Company in the Conversion, (ii) investment
opportunities available, (iii) capital requirements, (iv) regulatory
limitations, (v) results of operations and financial condition, (vi) tax
considerations, and (vii) general economic conditions. Upon review of such
considerations, the board may authorize future dividends if it deems such
payment appropriate and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In
addition, from time to time in an effort to manage capital at a desirable level,
the board may determine to pay special cash dividends. Special cash dividends
may be paid in addition to, or in lieu of, regular cash dividends. In any event,
there can be no assurance that regular or special dividends will be paid, or, if
paid, will continue to be paid. See "Regulation -- Savings Association
Regulatory Capital" and "--Dividend Limitations."
The Holding Company is not subject to OTS regulatory restrictions on
the payment of dividends to its shareholders although the source of such
dividends depend in part upon the receipt of dividends from us. The Holding
Company is subject, however, to the requirements of Indiana law, which generally
limit the payment of dividends to amounts that will not affect the ability of
the Holding Company, after the dividend has been distributed, to pay its debts
in the ordinary course of business and will not exceed the difference between
the Holding Company's total assets and total liabilities plus preferential
amounts payable to shareholders with rights superior to those of the holders of
Common Stock.
In addition to the foregoing, the portion of our earnings which has
been appropriated for bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax
purposes cannot be used by us to pay cash dividends to the Holding Company
without the payment of federal income taxes by us at the then current income tax
rate on the amount deemed distributed, which would include the amount of any
federal income taxes attributable to the distribution. See "Taxation -- Federal
Taxation" and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements at page F-19.
The Holding Company does not contemplate any distribution by us that would
result in a recapture of our bad debt reserve or otherwise create federal tax
liabilities.
MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK
The Holding Company has never issued Common Stock to the public.
Consequently, there is no established market for the Common Stock. The Holding
Company has received conditional approval to have the Common Stock quoted on the
NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol "UCBC" upon the successful
closing of the offering, subject to certain conditions which we believe will be
met. Trident Securities has advised us that it intends to act as a market maker
for the Common Stock. In order for the Common Stock to be traded on the NASDAQ
National Market System, there must be at least three market makers for the
Common Stock. We anticipate that we will be able to secure two other market
makers to enable the stock to be quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System.
The existence of a public trading market will depend upon the presence
in the market of both willing buyers and willing sellers at any given time. The
presence of a sufficient number of buyers and sellers at any given time is a
factor over which neither the Holding Company nor any broker or dealer has
control. Although the shares issued in the Conversion are expected to be traded
on the Nasdaq National Market System, it is unlikely that an active or liquid
trading market for the Common Stock will be developed and be maintained.
Further, the absence of an active and liquid trading market may make it
difficult to sell the Common Stock and may have an adverse effect on the price
of the Common Stock. Purchasers should consider the potentially illiquid and
long-term nature of their investment in the shares offered hereby.
<PAGE>
The aggregate price of the Common Stock is based upon an independent
appraisal of the pro forma market value of the Common Stock. However, there can
be no assurance that an investor will be able to sell the Common Stock purchased
in the Conversion at or above the Purchase Price.
COMPETITION
We originate most of our loans to and accept most of our deposits from
residents of Montgomery County, Indiana. We are subject to competition from
various financial institutions, including state and national banks, state and
federal savings associations, credit unions, and certain nonbanking consumer
lenders that provide similar services in Montgomery County with significantly
larger resources than are available to us. In total, there are 13 other
financial institutions located in Montgomery County, including nine banks, two
credit unions and two other savings associations. We also compete with money
market funds with respect to deposit accounts and with insurance companies with
respect to individual retirement accounts.
The primary factors influencing competition for deposits are interest
rates, service and convenience of office locations. We compete for loan
originations primarily through the efficiency and quality of the services that
we provide borrowers and through interest rates and loan fees charged.
Competition is affected by, among other things, the general availability of
lendable funds, general and local economic conditions, current interest rate
levels, and other factors that we cannot readily predict.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table presents our historical capitalization at June 30,
1997, and the pro forma consolidated capitalization of the Holding Company as of
that date, giving effect to the sale of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus
based on the minimum, midpoint, maximum and 15% above the maximum of the
Estimated Valuation Range, and subject to the other assumptions set forth below.
The pro forma data set forth below may change significantly at the time the
Holding Company completes the Conversion due to, among other factors, a change
in the Estimated Valuation Range or a change in the current estimated expenses
of the Conversion. If the Estimated Valuation Range changes so that between
1,955,000 and 3,041,750 shares are not sold in the Conversion, subscriptions
will be returned to subscribers who do not affirmatively elect to continue their
subscriptions during the offering at the revised Estimated Valuation Range.

purchase of Common Stock are not reflected. Such withdrawals will reduce
pro forma deposits by the amount thereof.
(2) The number of shares to be issued in the Conversion may be increased or
decreased based on market and financial conditions prior to the completion
of the Conversion. Assumes estimated expenses of $636,000, $682,000,
$732,000 and $790,000 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted
maximum of the Estimated Valuation Range, respectively. See "Use of
Proceeds."
(3) Retained earnings are substantially restricted. See Notes to Union
Federal's Consolidated Financial Statements. See also "The Conversion --
Principal Effects of Conversion -- Effect on Liquidation Rights." Retained
earnings do not reflect the federal income tax consequences of the
restoration to income of Union Federal's special bad debt reserve for
income tax purposes which would be required in the unlikely event of a
liquidation or if a substantial portion of retained earnings were otherwise
used for a purpose other than absorption of bad debt losses and will be
required as to post-1987 reserves under a recently enacted law.
See "Taxation -- Federal Taxation."
(4) Assumes purchases by the ESOP of a number of shares equal to 8% of the
shares issued in the Conversion up to a maximum of 184,000 shares. The
funds used to acquire the ESOP shares will be borrowed from the Holding
Company. See "Use of Proceeds." Union Federal intends to make contributions
to the ESOP sufficient to service and ultimately retire its debt. The
Common Stock acquired by the ESOP is reflected as a reduction of
shareholders' equity. See "Executive Compensation and Related Transactions
of Union Federal -- Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust."
(5) Assuming the receipt of shareholder approval, the Holding Company intends
to implement the RRP. Assuming such implementation, the RRP will purchase
an amount of shares equal to 4% of the Common Stock sold in the Conversion
for issuance to directors and officers of the Holding Company and Union
Federal. Such shares may be purchased from authorized but unissued shares
or on the open market. The Holding Company currently intends that the RRP
will purchase the shares on the open market. Under the terms of the RRP,
assuming it is adopted within one year of the Conversion, shares will vest
at the rate of 20% per year. The Common Stock to be purchased by the RRP
represents unearned compensation and is, accordingly, reflected as a
reduction to pro forma shareholders' equity. As shares of the Common Stock
granted pursuant to the RRP vest, a corresponding reduction in the charge
against capital will occur. In the event that authorized but unissued
shares are acquired, the interests of existing shareholders will be
diluted. Assuming that 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock, the midpoint of
the Estimated Valuation Range, are issued in the Conversion and that all
awards under the RRP are from authorized but unissued shares, the Holding
Company estimates that the per share book value for the Common Stock would
be diluted $.56 per share, or 3.79% on a pro forma basis as of June 30,
1997 at the midpoint of the Estimated Valuation Range. The dilution would
be $.60 per share (3.78%) and $.53 per share (3.76%) at the minimum and
maximum levels, respectively, of the Estimated Valuation Range on a pro
forma basis at June 30, 1997.
(6) As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares which
could occur due to an increase in the Estimated Valuation Range of up to
15% to reflect changes in market and financial conditions following the
commencement of the Subscription Offering and Community Offering, if any.
<PAGE>
PRO FORMA DATA
The following table sets forth the pro forma combined consolidated net
income of the Holding Company for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and for the
year ended December 31, 1996 as though the Conversion offering had been
consummated at the beginning of those periods, respectively, and the investable
net proceeds had been invested at 5.86% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 5.13% for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the yield on one-year U.S.
government securities). OTS regulations specify that the pro forma yield on net
proceeds be calculated as the arithmetic average of the average yield on Union
Federal's interest-earning assets and the average cost of deposits. Union
Federal did not use this methodology to calculate pro forma yield, however, and
instead assumed a yield based on one-year U.S. government securities. This
latter methodology more accurately reflects Union Federal's and the Holding
Company's intent to invest the net proceeds initially in U.S. government
securities. The pro forma after-tax return for the Holding Company on a
consolidated basis is assumed to be 3.52% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 3.08% for the year ended December 31, 1996, after giving effect to (i) the
yield on investable net proceeds from the Conversion offering and (ii) adjusting
for taxes using a federal statutory tax rate of 34% and a net state statutory
income tax rate of 6%. Historical and per share amounts have been calculated by
dividing historical amounts and pro forma amounts by the indicated number of
shares of Common Stock assuming that such number of shares had been outstanding
during each of the entire periods.
Book value represents the difference between the stated amount of
consolidated assets and consolidated liabilities of the Holding Company computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Book value does not
necessarily reflect current market value of assets and liabilities, or the
amounts, if any, that would be available for distribution to shareholders in the
event of liquidation. See "The Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion --
Effect on Liquidation Rights." Book value also does not reflect the federal
income tax consequences of the restoration to income of our special bad debt
reserves for income tax purposes, which would be required in the unlikely event
of liquidation or if a substantial portion of retained earnings were otherwise
used for a purpose other than absorption of bad debt losses. See "Taxation --
Federal Taxation." Pro forma book value includes only net proceeds from the
Conversion offering as though it occurred as of the indicated dates and does not
include earnings on the proceeds for the periods then ended.
The pro forma net income derived from the assumptions set forth above
should not be considered indicative of the actual results of operations of the
Holding Company that would have been attained for any period if the Conversion
had been actually consummated at the beginning of such periods and the
assumptions regarding investment yields should not be considered indicative of
the actual yield expected to be achieved during any future period. The pro forma
book values at the dates indicated should not be considered as reflecting the
potential trading value of the Holding Company's stock. There can be no
assurance that an investor will be able to sell the Common Stock purchased in
the Conversion at prices within the range of the pro forma book values of the
Common Stock or at or above the Purchase Price.

(1) As adjusted to give effect to an increase in the number of shares which
could occur due to an increase in the Estimated Valuation Range of up to
15% to reflect changes in market and financial conditions following
commencement of the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, if
any.
(2) See "Use of Proceeds" for assumptions utilized to determine the investable
net proceeds of the sale of Common Stock.
(3) It is assumed that 8% of the shares of Common Stock issued in the
Conversion, up to a maximum of 184,000 shares, will be purchased by the
ESOP. The funds used to acquire the ESOP shares will be borrowed by the
ESOP from the Holding Company (see "Use of Proceeds"). Union Federal
intends to make annual contributions to the ESOP in an amount at least
equal to the principal and interest requirements on the debt. Union
Federal's total annual expense in payment of the ESOP debt is based upon 25
equal annual installments of principal with an assumed tax benefit of 40%.
The pro forma net income assumes: (i) Union Federal's total contributions
are equivalent to the debt service requirement for the year, and (ii) the
effective tax rate applicable to the debt was 40%. Expense for the ESOP
will be based on the number of shares committed to be released to
participants for the year at the average market value of the shares during
the year. Accordingly, Union Federal's total annual expense in payment of
the ESOP for such years may be higher than that discussed above. The loan
to the ESOP is reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
(4) Assuming the receipt of shareholder approval, the Holding Company intends
to implement the RRP. Assuming such implementation, the RRP will purchase
an amount of shares equal to 4% of the Common Stock sold in the Conversion
for issuance to directors and officers of the Holding Company and Union
Federal. Such shares may be purchased from authorized but unissued shares
or on the open market. The Holding Company currently intends that the RRP
will purchase the shares on the open market, and the estimated net
Conversion proceeds have been reduced for the purchase of the shares in
determining estimated proceeds available for investment. Under the terms of
the RRP, if it is adopted within one year of the Conversion, shares will
vest at the rate of 20% per year. A tax benefit of 40% has been assumed.
The Common Stock to be purchased by the RRP represents unearned
compensation and is, accordingly, reflected as a reduction to pro forma
shareholders' equity. As shares of the Common Stock granted pursuant to the
RRP vest, a corresponding reduction in the charge against capital will
occur. In the event that authorized but unissued shares are acquired by the
RRP, the interests of existing shareholders will be diluted. Assuming that
2,300,000 shares of Common Stock are issued in the Conversion, the midpoint
of the Estimated Valuation Range, and that all awards under the RRP are
from authorized but unissued shares, the Holding Company estimates that the
per share book value for the Common Stock would be diluted $.56 per share,
or 3.79% on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 1997, at the midpoint of the
Estimated Valuation Range. The dilution would be $.60 per share (3.78%) and
$.53 per share (3.76%) at the minimum and maximum levels, respectively, of
the Estimated Valuation Range on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 1997.
(5) Assuming investable net proceeds had been invested since the beginning of
the period at 3.52% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 3.08% for
the year ended December 31, 1996 (the yield on one-year U.S.
government securities) and an assumed effective tax rate of 40%.
(6) Book value represents the excess of assets over liabilities. The effect of
the liquidation account is not reflected in these computations. (For
additional information regarding the liquidation account, see "The
Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion -- Effect on Liquidation
Rights.")
(7) The number of shares used in calculating earnings per share was calculated
using the indicated number of shares sold reduced by the assumed number of
ESOP shares that would be unallocated at the end of the first allocation
period. Allocation of ESOP shares is assumed to occur on the first day of
the fiscal year.
(8) Assuming the receipt of shareholder approval, the Holding Company intends
to implement the Stock Option Plan. Assuming such implementation, Common
Stock in an aggregate amount equal to 10% of the shares issued in the
Conversion will be reserved for issuance by the Holding Company upon the
exercise of the stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan. No
effect has been given to the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the Stock Option Plan. Upon the exercise of stock options granted
under the Stock Option Plan, the interest of existing shareholders will be
diluted. The Holding Company estimates that the per share book value for
the Common Stock would be diluted $.43 per share, or 2.91% on a pro forma
basis as of June 30, 1997, assuming the issuance of 2.3 million shares in
the Conversion, the midpoint, of the Estimated Valuation Range and the
exercise of 230,000 options at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. This
dilution further assumes that the shares will be issued from authorized,
but unissued, shares. The dilution would be $.53 per share (3.34%) and $.36
per share (2.56%) at the minimum and maximum levels, respectively, of the
Estimated Valuation Range on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 1997.

THE CONVERSION
THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF UNION FEDERAL AND THE HOLDING COMPANY AND
THE OTS HAVE APPROVED THE PLAN SUBJECT TO THE PLAN'S APPROVAL BY OUR MEMBERS AT
A SPECIAL MEETING OF MEMBERS, AND SUBJECT TO THE SATISFACTION OF CERTAIN OTHER
CONDITIONS IMPOSED BY THE OTS IN ITS APPROVAL. OTS APPROVAL, HOWEVER, DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION OR ENDORSEMENT OF THE PLAN BY THE OTS.
General
On June 2, 1997, our Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Conversion
(the "Plan") pursuant to which we will convert from a federal mutual savings and
loans association to a federal stock savings and loan association, and become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. The Conversion will include
adoption of the proposed Federal Stock Charter and Bylaws which will authorize
the issuance of capital stock by us. Under the Plan, our capital stock is being
sold to the Holding Company and the Common Stock of the Holding Company is being
offered to our customers and, if necessary, to the general public, with a
preference given to residents of Montgomery County, Indiana. The Plan has also
been approved by the OTS, subject to approval of the Plan by our members. A
Special Meeting of Members (the "Special Meeting") has been scheduled for that
purpose on December ___, 1997. The approval of the Plan by the OTS does not
constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the Plan by the OTS.
We have mailed to each person eligible to vote at the Special Meeting a
proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement"). The Proxy Statement contains
information concerning the business purposes of the Conversion and the effects
of the Plan and the Conversion on voting rights, liquidation rights, the
continuation of our business and existing savings accounts, FDIC insurance and
loans. The Proxy Statement also describes the manner in which the Plan may be
amended or terminated.
The following is a summary of all of the material aspects of the Plan,
the Subscription Offering, and the Community Offering. The Plan should be
consulted for a more detailed description of its terms.
Reasons for Conversion
As a stock institution, we will be structured in the form used by
commercial banks, most business entities, and a growing number of savings
associations. Converting to the stock form is intended to have a positive effect
on our future growth and performance by: (i) affording our depositors and
employees the opportunity to become shareholders of the Holding Company and
thereby participate more directly in our future and the Holding Company's
future; (ii) providing the Holding Company with the flexibility to grow through
mergers and acquisitions by permitting the offering of equity participations to
the shareholders of acquired companies; (iii) providing substantially increased
net worth and equity capital for investment in our business, thus enabling
management to pursue new and additional lending and investment opportunities and
to expand operations; and (iv) providing future access to capital markets
through the sale of stock of the Holding Company in order to generate additional
capital to accommodate or promote future growth. We believe that the increased
capital and operating flexibility will enhance our competitiveness with other
types of financial services organizations. Although our current members will,
upon Conversion, lose the voting and liquidation rights they presently have as
members (except to the limited extent of their rights in the liquidation account
established in the Conversion), they are being offered a priority right to
purchase shares in the Conversion and thereby obtain voting and liquidation
rights in the Holding Company.
The net proceeds to us from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby,
after retention by the Holding Company of 50% of the net proceeds after payment
of expenses incurred in connection with the Conversion, will increase our
existing net worth and thus provide an even stronger capital base to support our
lending and investment activities. This increase in our net worth, when combined
with the extra expenses we will incur as a publicy-traded company, will also,
however, likely cause our return on equity to decrease in comparison with our
performance in previous years. The net proceeds will also enable us to take
advantage of new opportunities that may arise, including the possible
acquisition of another financial institution, although we have no such present
plans. In addition, the Conversion will provide us with new opportunities to
attract and retain talented and experienced personnel by offering stock
incentive programs.
<PAGE>
Our Board of Directors believes that the Conversion to a holding
company structure is the best way to enable us to diversify our business
activities should we choose to do so. Currently, there are no plans, written or
oral, for the Holding Company to engage in any material activities apart from
holding our shares of stock that it acquires in connection with the Conversion,
although the Board may determine to further expand the Holding Company's
activities after the Conversion.
The additional Common Stock of the Holding Company being authorized in
the Conversion will be available for future acquisitions (although the Holding
Company has no current discussions, arrangements or agreements with respect to
any acquisition) and for issuance and sale to raise additional equity capital,
subject to market conditions and generally without shareholder approval. The
Holding Company's ability to raise additional funds through the sale of debt
securities to the public or institutional investors should also be enhanced by
the increase in its equity capital base provided by the Conversion. Although the
Holding Company currently has no plans with respect to future issuances of
equity or debt securities, the more flexible operating structure provided by the
Holding Company and the stock form of ownership is expected to assist us in
competing aggressively with other financial institutions in our market area.
The Conversion will also permit our members who subscribe for shares of
Common Stock to become shareholders of the Holding Company, thereby allowing
members to indirectly own stock in the financial institution in which they
maintain deposit accounts. Such ownership may encourage shareholders to promote
us to others, thereby further contributing to our growth.
Principal Effects of Conversion
General. Each savings depositor in a mutual savings and loan
association such as Union Federal has both a savings account and a pro rata
ownership in the net worth of that institution, based upon the balance in his or
her savings account. This ownership interest has no tangible market value
separate from the savings account. Upon conversion to stock form, the ownership
of our net worth will be represented by the outstanding shares of stock to be
owned by the Holding Company. Certificates are issued to evidence ownership of
the capital stock. These stock certificates are transferable and, therefore, the
shares may be transferred with no effect on any account the seller may hold with
us.
Continuity. While the Conversion is being accomplished, we will
continue without interruption our normal business of accepting deposits and
making loans. After the Conversion, we will continue to provide services for
account holders and borrowers under current policies carried on by our present
management and staff.
Our directors at the time of Conversion will continue to serve as our
directors after the Conversion until the expiration of their current terms, and
thereafter, if reelected. All of our executive officers at the time of
Conversion will retain their positions after the Conversion.
Effect on Deposit Accounts. Under the Plan, each of our depositors at
the time of the Conversion will automatically continue as a depositor after the
Conversion, and each deposit account will remain the same with respect to
deposit balance, interest rate and other terms. Each account will also continue
to be insured by the FDIC in exactly the same way as before. Depositors will
continue to hold their existing certificates, passbooks and other evidence of
their accounts.
Effect on Loans of Borrowers. None of our loans will be affected by the
Conversion. The amount, interest rate, maturity and security for each loan will
be unchanged.
Effect on Voting Rights of Members. Currently in our mutual form, our
depositor and certain borrower members have voting rights and may vote for the
election of directors. Following the Conversion, depositors and borrowers will
cease to have voting rights. All voting rights in Union Federal will be vested
in the Holding Company as our sole shareholder. Voting rights in the Holding
Company will be vested exclusively in its shareholders, with one vote for each
share of Common Stock. Neither the Common Stock to be sold in the Conversion nor
the capital stock of Union Federal will be insured by the FDIC or by any other
government entity.
Effect on Liquidation Rights. Current federal regulations and the Plan
of Conversion provide for the establishment of a "liquidation account" by us for
the benefit of our deposit account holders with balances of no less than $50.00
on December 31, 1995 ("Eligible Account Holders"), and our deposit account
holders with balances of no less than $50.00 on September 30, 1997
("Supplemental Eligible Account Holders"), who continue to maintain their
accounts with us after the Conversion. The liquidation account will be credited
with our net worth as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition
in the final prospectus used in the Conversion. Each Eligible Account Holder and
Supplemental Eligible Account Holder will, with respect to each deposit account
held, have a related inchoate interest in a portion of the balance of the
liquidation account. This inchoate interest is referred to in the Plan as a
"subaccount balance." In the event of a complete liquidation of us after the
Conversion (and only in such event), Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders would be entitled to a distribution from the
liquidation account in an amount equal to the then current adjusted subaccount
balance then held, before any liquidation distribution would be made to the
Holding Company as our sole shareholder. We believe that a liquidation of Union
Federal is unlikely.
<PAGE>
Each Eligible Account Holder will have a subaccount balance in the
liquidation account for each deposit account held as of December 31, 1995 (the
"Eligibility Record Date"). Each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder will have
a subaccount balance in the liquidation account for each deposit account held as
of September 30, 1997 (the "Supplemental Eligibility Record Date"). Each initial
subaccount balance will be the amount determined by multiplying the total
opening balance in the liquidation account by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of the qualifying deposit (a deposit of at least $50 as of
December 31, 1995 , or September 30, 1997, respectively) of such deposit
account, and the denominator of which is the total of all qualifying deposits on
that date. If the amount in the deposit account on any subsequent annual closing
date of Union Federal is less than the balance in such deposit account on any
other annual closing date, or the balance in such account on the Eligibility
Record Date or the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, as the case may be,
this interest in the liquidation account will be reduced by an amount
proportionate to any such reduction, and will not thereafter be increased
despite any subsequent increase in the related deposit account. An Eligible
Account Holder's, as well as a Supplemental Eligible Account Holder's, interest
in the liquidation account will cease to exist if the deposit account is closed.
The liquidation account will never increase and will be correspondingly reduced
as the interests in the liquidation account are reduced or cease to exist. In
the event of liquidation, any assets remaining after the above liquidation
rights of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders are
satisfied will be distributed to the Holding Company as our sole shareholder.
A merger, consolidation, sale of bulk assets, or similar combination or
transaction in which we are not the surviving entity would not be considered to
be a "liquidation" under which distribution of the liquidation account could be
made, provided the surviving institution is an FDIC-insured institution. In such
a transaction, the liquidation account would be assumed by the surviving
institution. The OTS has stated that the consummation of a transaction of the
type described in the preceding sentence in which the surviving entity is not an
FDIC-insured institution would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine
whether the transaction should constitute a "complete liquidation" requiring
distribution of any then-remaining balance in the liquidation account.
The creation and maintenance of the liquidation account will not
restrict the use of or application of any of the net worth accounts, except that
we may not declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase our capital stock if
the effect of such dividend or repurchase would be to cause our net worth to be
reduced below the aggregate amount then required for the liquidation account.
Tax Effects. We intend to proceed with the Conversion on the basis of
an opinion from our special counsel, Barnes & Thornburg, Indianapolis, Indiana,
as to all tax matters that are material to the Conversion. The opinion is based,
among other things, on certain representations made by us, including the
representation that the exercise price of the subscription rights to purchase
the Common Stock will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the
stock at the time of the completion of the Conversion. With respect to the
subscription rights, we have received an opinion of RP Financial which, based on
certain assumptions, concludes that the subscription rights to be received by
Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other
Members do not have any economic value at the time of distribution or the time
the subscription rights are exercised, whether or not a Community Offering takes
place, and Barnes & Thornburg's opinion is given in reliance thereon. Barnes &
Thornburg's opinion provides substantially as follows:
1. Our change in form from a mutual savings and loan association to a
stock savings and loan association will qualify as a reorganization
under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and no gain or loss will be recognized to us in
either our mutual form or our stock form by reason of the Conversion.
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by the converted savings association
upon receipt of money from the Holding Company for the converted
savings association's capital stock, and no gain or loss will be
recognized by the Holding Company upon the receipt of money for Common
Stock of the Holding Company.
3. The basis of the assets of the converted savings and loan association
will be the same as the basis in our hands prior to the Conversion.
<PAGE>
4. The holding period of the assets of the converted savings and loan
association will include the period during which the assets were held
by us in our mutual form prior to Conversion.
5. No gain or loss will be realized by our deposit account holders or
borrowers, upon the constructive issuance to them of withdrawable
deposit accounts of the converted savings association immediately after
the Conversion, interests in the liquidation account, and/or on the
distribution to them of nontransferable subscription rights to purchase
Common Stock.
6. The basis of an account holder's deposit accounts in the converted
savings and loan association after the Conversion will be the same as
the basis of his or her deposit accounts with us prior to the
Conversion.
7. The basis of each account holder's interest in the liquidation account
will be zero. The basis of the non-transferable subscription rights
will be zero.
8. The basis of the Holding Company Common Stock to its shareholders will
be the actual purchase price ($10.00) thereof, and a shareholder's
holding period for Common Stock acquired through the exercise of
subscription rights will begin on the date on which the subscription
rights are exercised.
9. No taxable income will be realized by Eligible Account Holders,
Supplemental Eligible Account Holders or Other Members as a result of
the exercise of the nontransferable subscription rights.
10. The converted savings association in its stock form will succeed to and
take into account our earnings and profits or deficit in earnings and
profits, in our mutual form, as of the date of Conversion.
The opinion also concludes in effect that:
1. No taxable income will be realized by us on the issuance of
subscription rights to eligible subscribers to purchase shares of
Common Stock at fair market value.
2. The converted savings and loan association will succeed to and take
into account the dollar amounts of those accounts of Union Federal in
its mutual form which represent bad debt reserves in respect of which
Union Federal in its mutual form has taken a bad debt deduction for
taxable years on or before the date of the transfer.
3. The creation of the liquidation account will have no effect on our
taxable income, deductions, or additions to bad debt reserves or
distributions to shareholders under Section 593 of the Code.
Barnes & Thornburg has also issued an opinion stating in essence that
the Conversion will not be a taxable transaction to the Holding Company or to us
under any Indiana tax statute imposing a tax on income, and that our depositors
and borrowers will be treated under such laws in a manner similar to the manner
in which they will be treated under federal income tax law.
The opinions of Barnes & Thornburg and RP Financial, unlike a letter
ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service, are not binding on the Service
and the conclusions expressed herein may be challenged at a future date. The
Service has issued favorable rulings for transactions substantially similar to
the proposed Conversion, but any such ruling may not be cited as precedent by
any taxpayer other than the taxpayer to whom the ruling is addressed. We do not
plan to apply for a letter ruling concerning the transactions described herein.
<PAGE>
Offering of Common Stock
Under the Plan of Conversion, up to 2,645,000 shares of Common Stock
are being offered for sale, initially through the Subscription Offering (subject
to a possible increase to 3,041,750 shares). See "-- Subscription Offering." The
Plan of Conversion requires, with certain exceptions, that a number of shares
equal to at least 1,955,000 be sold in order for the Conversion to be completed.
Shares may also be offered to the public in a Community Offering which is
expected to commence after the Subscription Offering terminates, but may begin
at any time during the Subscription Offering. The Community Offering may expire
at any time when orders for at least 1,955,000 shares have been received in the
Subscription Offering and Community Offering, but no later than January ___,
1998, unless extended by us and the Holding Company. The offering may be
extended, subject to OTS approval, until 24 months following the members'
approval of the Plan of Conversion, or until December ___, 1999. The actual
number of shares to be sold in the Conversion will depend upon market and
financial conditions at the time of the Conversion, provided that no fewer than
1,955,000 shares or more than 3,041,750 shares will be sold in the Conversion.
The per share price to be paid by purchasers in the Community Offering, if any,
for any remaining shares will be $10.00, the same price paid by subscribers in
the Subscription Offering. See "-- Stock Pricing."
The Subscription Offering expires at 12:00 noon, Crawfordsville time,
on December ___, 1997. OTS regulations and the Plan of Conversion require that
we complete the sale of Common Stock within 45 days after the close of the
Subscription Offering. This 45-day period expires on January ___, 1998. In the
event we are unable to complete the sale of Common Stock within this 45-day
period, we may request an extension of this time period from the OTS. No single
extension granted by the OTS, however, may exceed 90 days. No assurance can be
given that an extension would be granted if requested. The OTS has, however,
granted extensions due to the inability of mutual financial institutions to
complete a stock offering as a result of the development of adverse conditions
in the stock market. If an extension is granted, we will promptly notify
subscribers of the granting of the extension of time and will promptly return
subscriptions unless subscribers affirmatively elect to continue their
subscriptions during the period of extension. Such extensions may not be made
beyond December ___, 1999.
As permitted by OTS regulations, the Plan of Conversion provides that
if, for any reason, purchasers cannot be found for an insignificant residue of
unsubscribed shares of the Common Stock, our Board of Directors will seek to
make other arrangements for the sale of the remaining shares. Such other
arrangements will be subject to the approval of the OTS. If such other purchase
arrangements cannot be made, the Plan of Conversion will terminate. In the event
that the Conversion is not completed, we will remain a mutual savings and loan
association, all subscription funds will be promptly returned to subscribers
with interest earned thereon at our passbook rate, which is currently 4.0% per
annum, or 4.06% APY (except for payments to have been made through withdrawal
authorizations which will have continued to earn interest at the contractual
account rates), and all withdrawal authorizations will be canceled.
Subscription Offering
In accordance with OTS regulations, nontransferable rights to subscribe
for the purchase of the Holding Company's Common Stock have been granted under
the Plan of Conversion to the following persons in the following order of
priority: (1) our Eligible Account Holders; (2) the ESOP; (3) our Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders; and (4) our members other than Eligible Account
Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, at the close of business on
October 31, 1997, the voting record date for the Special Meeting, including
holders of deposit accounts on October 31, 1997 and borrowers of Union Federal
on July 30, 1997, who remain borrowers on October 31, 1997 ("Other Members").
All subscriptions received will be subject to the availability of Common Stock
after satisfaction of all subscriptions of all persons having prior rights in
the Subscription Offering, and to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations
set forth in the Plan of Conversion (and described below). The December 31,
1995, date for determination of Eligible Account Holders and the September 30,
1997 date for determination of Supplemental Eligible Account Holders were
selected in accordance with federal regulations applicable to the Conversion.
<PAGE>
Category I: Eligible Account Holders. Each Eligible Account Holder, in
his capacity as such (counting all persons on a joint account as one Eligible
Account Holder), is permitted to subscribe for up to 20,000 shares of the
Holding Company's Common Stock, provided that each Eligible Account Holder may
not subscribe for more than 30,417 shares in the Conversion including shares
subscribed for by such person's Associates or persons acting in concert as a
group.
If sufficient shares are not available in this Category I, shares will
be allocated in a manner that will allow each Eligible Account Holder, to the
extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her
allocation consist of the lesser of 100 shares or the amount subscribed for.
Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to subscribing Eligible Account
Holders in the proportion that the amounts of their respective qualifying
deposits bear to the total amount of qualifying deposits of all subscribing
Eligible Account Holders.
The "qualifying deposits" of an Eligible Account Holder is the amount
of the deposit balances (provided such aggregate balance is not less than
$50.00) in his or her deposit accounts, including demand deposit accounts, as of
the close of business on December 31, 1995. Subscription rights received by
directors and officers in this category based upon their increased deposits in
Union Federal during the year preceding December 31, 1995, are subordinated to
the subscription rights of other Eligible Account Holders. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, shares of Common Stock with a value in excess of $26,450,000, the
maximum of the Estimated Valuation Range, may be sold to the ESOP before
satisfying the subscriptions of Eligible Account Holders.
Category II: The ESOP. The Holding Company's tax-qualified ESOP is
permitted to subscribe for up to 10% of the total number of shares of the
Holding Company's Common Stock sold in the Conversion, provided that shares
remain available after satisfying the subscription rights of Eligible Account
Holders for up to $26,450,000. The ESOP intends to subscribe for a number of
shares equal to 8% of the Holding Company's Common Stock sold in the Conversion;
provided, however, that such number shall in no event exceed 184,000 shares. If
the ESOP is unable to purchase all or part of the shares of Common Stock for
which it subscribes, the ESOP may purchase such shares on the open market or may
purchase authorized but unissued shares of the Holding Company. Any purchase by
the ESOP of authorized but unissued shares could dilute the interests of the
Holding Company's shareholders.
Category III: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. Each Supplemental
Eligible Account Holder, in his capacity as such (counting all persons on a
joint account as one Supplemental Eligible Account Holder), is permitted to
subscribe for up to 20,000 shares of the Holding Company's Common Stock,
provided that each Supplemental Account Holder may not subscribe for more than
30,417 shares in the Conversion including shares subscribed for by such person's
Associates or person acting in concert as a group, to the extent that shares of
the Holding Company's Common Stock remain available for purchase after
satisfaction of the subscription rights of all Eligible Account Holders and the
ESOP. Any subscription rights received by a person as a result of his or her
status as an Eligible Account Holder will reduce to the extent thereof the
subscription rights granted to such person as a result of his or her status as a
Supplemental Eligible Account Holder.
If sufficient shares are not available in this Category III, shares
will be allocated in a manner that will allow each Supplemental Eligible Account
Holder, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to
make his or her allocation consist of the lesser of 100 shares or the amount
subscribed for. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to subscribing
Supplemental Eligible Account Holders in the proportion that the amounts of
their respective qualifying deposits bear to the total amount of qualifying
deposits of all subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders.
The "qualifying deposits" of a Supplemental Eligible Account Holder is
the amount of the deposit balances (provided such aggregate balance is not less
than $50) in his or her deposit accounts, including demand deposit accounts, as
of the close of business on September 30, 1997.
Category IV: Other Members. Each Other Member, in his capacity as such
(counting all persons on a joint account as one Other Member), is permitted to
subscribe for up to 20,000 shares of the Holding Company's Common Stock,
provided that each Other Member may not subscribe for more than 30,417 shares in
the Conversion, including shares subscribed for by such person's Associates or
persons acting in concert as a group, to the extent that shares remain available
for purchase after satisfaction of the subscription rights of all Eligible
Account Holders, the ESOP and all Supplemental Eligible Account Holders.
If sufficient shares are not available in this Category IV, shares will
be allocated pro rata among subscribing Other Members in the same proportion
that the number of shares subscribed for by each Other Member bears to the total
number of shares subscribed for by all Other Members.
Timing of Offering and Method of Payment. The Subscription Offering
will expire at 12:00 noon, Crawfordsville time, on December ___, 1997 (the
"Expiration Date"). The Expiration Date may be extended by Union Federal and the
Holding Company for successive 90-day periods, subject to OTS approval, to
December ___, 1999.
<PAGE>
Subscribers must, before the Expiration Date, or such date to which the
Expiration Date may be extended, return an original Order Form to us, properly
completed, together with checks or money orders in an amount equal to the
Purchase Price ($10.00 per share) multiplied by the number of shares for which
subscription is made. Payment for stock purchases can also be accomplished
through authorization on the original Order Form of withdrawals from accounts
with us (including a certificate of deposit). Funds must actually be in the
account when an order for the purchase of Common Stock is submitted. We have the
right to reject any orders transmitted by facsimile or on copies of Order Forms
and any payments made by wire transfer.
In the event an Order Form (i) is not delivered and is returned to us
by the United States Postal Service or we are unable to locate the addressee,
(ii) is not received or is received after the Expiration Date, (iii) is
defectively completed or executed, or (iv) is not accompanied by full payment
for the shares subscribed for (including instances where a savings account or
certificate balance from which withdrawal is authorized is insufficient to fund
the amount of such required payment), the subscription rights for the person to
whom such rights have been granted will lapse as though that person failed to
return the completed Order Form within the time period specified. We may, but
will not be required to, waive any irregularity on any Order Form within the
time period specified. We may, but will not be required to, waive any
irregularity on any Order Form or require the submission of corrected Order
Forms or the remittance of full payment for subscribed shares by such date as we
specify. The waiver of an irregularity on an Order Form in no way obligates us
to waive any other irregularity on that, or any irregularity on any other, Order
Form. Waivers will be considered on a case by case basis. Photocopies of Order
Forms, payments from private third parties, or electronic transfers of funds
will not be accepted. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Plan
and of the acceptability of the Order Forms will be final. We have the right to
investigate any irregularity on any Order Form.
To ensure that each purchaser receives a prospectus at least 48 hours
before the Expiration Date in accordance with Rule 15c2-8 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), no prospectus will be mailed
any later than five days prior to such date or hand delivered any later than two
days prior to such date. Execution of the Order Form will confirm receipt or
delivery in accordance with Rule 15c2-8. Order Forms will only be distributed
with a prospectus.
Until completion or termination of the Conversion, subscribers who
elect to make payment through authorization of withdrawal from accounts with us
will not be permitted to reduce the deposit balance in any such accounts below
the amount required to purchase the shares for which they subscribed. In such
cases interest will continue to be credited on deposits authorized for
withdrawal until the completion of the Conversion. Interest at the passbook
rate, which is currently 4.0% per annum, for an APY of 4.06%, will be paid on
amounts submitted by check. Authorized withdrawals from certificate accounts for
the purchase of Common Stock will be permitted without the imposition of early
withdrawal penalties or loss of interest. However, withdrawals from certificate
accounts that reduce the balance of such accounts below the required minimum for
specific interest rate qualification will cause the cancellation of the
certificate accounts at the effective date of the Conversion, and the remaining
balance will earn interest at the passbook savings rate. Stock subscriptions
received and accepted by us are final and may not be revoked by the purchaser.
Subscriptions may be withdrawn only in the event that we extend the Expiration
Date of the Subscription Offering as described above.
Members in Non-Qualified States or Foreign Countries. We will make
reasonable efforts to comply with the securities laws of all states in the
United States in which persons entitled to subscribe for stock pursuant to the
Plan reside. However, no person will be offered or sold or receive any stock
pursuant to the Subscription Offering if such person resides in a foreign
country or resides in a state in the United States with respect to which all of
the following apply: (i) a small number of persons otherwise eligible to
subscribe for shares of Common Stock reside in such state; (ii) the granting of
subscription rights or the offer or sale of Common Stock to such persons would
require us or the Holding Company or our respective officers and directors,
under the securities laws of such state, to register as a broker, dealer,
salesman or selling agent, or to register or otherwise qualify the Common Stock
for sale in such state; and (iii) such registration, qualification or filing in
our judgment or in the judgment of the Holding Company would be impracticable or
unduly burdensome for reasons of cost or otherwise.
<PAGE>
To assist in the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, if
any, the Holding Company has established a Stock Information Center that you may
contact at (765) 362-2428. Callers to the Stock Information Center will be able
to request a Prospectus and other information relating to the offering.
Community Offering
To the extent shares remain available for purchase after filling all
orders received in the Subscription Offering, we may offer shares of the Common
Stock in a Community Offering to the general public, with preference given to
residents of Montgomery County, the county in which our sole banking office is
located. The right of any person to purchase shares in the Community Offering is
subject to our right to accept or reject such purchase in whole or in part. We
may terminate the Community Offering as soon as we have received orders for at
least the minimum number of shares available for purchase in the Conversion.
The Community Offering may expire at any time when orders for at least
1,955,000 shares have been received in the Subscription Offering and Community
Offering (but no later than January ___, 1998, unless extended by us and the
Holding Company). Persons wishing to purchase stock in the Community Offering,
if conducted, should return the Order Form to us, properly completed, together
with a check or money order in the amount equal to the Purchase Price ($10.00
per share) multiplied by the number of shares which that person desires to
purchase. However, as noted above, we may terminate the Community Offering as
soon as we receive orders for at least the minimum number of shares available
for purchase in the Conversion.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased in the
Community Offering by any person (including such person's Associates) or persons
acting in concert is 20,000 in the aggregate. A member who, together with his
Associates and persons acting in concert, has subscribed for shares in the
Subscription Offering may subscribe for a number of additional shares in the
Community Offering that does not exceed the lesser of (i) 20,000 shares or (ii)
the number of shares which, when added to the number of shares subscribed for by
the member (and his Associates and persons acting in concert) in the
Subscription Offering, would not exceed 30,417. We reserve the right to reject
any orders received in the Community Offering in whole or in part.
If all the Holding Company Common Stock offered in the Subscription
Offering is subscribed for, no Holding Company Common Stock will be available
for purchase in the Community Offering. Purchase orders received during the
Community Offering will be filled up to a maximum of 2% of the total number of
shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion, with any remaining unfilled
purchase orders to be allocated on an equal number of shares basis. If the
Community Offering extends beyond 45 days following the expiration of the
Subscription Offering, subscribers will have the right to increase, decrease or
rescind subscriptions for stock previously submitted. All sales of Holding
Company Common Stock in the Community Offering will be at the same price per
share as the sales of Holding Company Common Stock in the Subscription Offering.
Cash and checks received in the Community Offering will be placed in a
special savings account with us, and will earn interest at the passbook rate,
which is currently 4.0% per annum, for an APY of 4.06%, from the date of deposit
until completion or termination of the Conversion. In the event that the
Conversion is not consummated for any reason, all funds submitted pursuant to
the Community Offering will be promptly refunded with interest as described
above.
Delivery of Certificates
Certificates representing shares issued in the Subscription Offering
and in the Community Offering, if any, pursuant to Order Forms will be mailed to
the persons entitled to them at the addresses of such persons specified in
properly completed Order Forms as soon as practicable following consummation of
the Conversion. Any certificates returned as undeliverable will be held by the
Holding Company until claimed by the person legally entitled to them or
otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable law.
<PAGE>
Marketing Arrangements
To assist us and the Holding Company in marketing the Common Stock, we
have retained the services of Trident Securities as our financial advisor.
Trident Securities is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"). Trident Securities will assist us in the
Conversion as follows: (1) in training and educating our employees regarding the
mechanics and regulatory requirements of the conversion process; (2) in keeping
records of all stock subscriptions; (3) in obtaining proxies from our members
with respect to the Special Meeting; and (4) in assisting with the Community
Offering. For providing these services, we have agreed to pay Trident Securities
commissions in an amount equal to 1.45% of the aggregate dollar amount of shares
of Common Stock sold in the Conversion other than shares sold to executive
officers and directors and their Associates or to the ESOP. Trident Securities
will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, which are not to exceed
$28,000 without our consent (including legal fees and disbursements). Offers and
sales in the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering will be on a best
efforts basis and, as a result, Trident Securities is not obligated to purchase
any shares of the Common Stock. Trident Securities intends to make a market in
the Common Stock, although it is under no obligation to do so.
We have also agreed to indemnify Trident Securities, under certain
circumstances, against liabilities and expenses (including legal fees) arising
out of Trident Securities' engagement by us, including liabilities under the
Securitities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act").
Selected Dealers
Trident Securities may enter into an agreement with certain dealers
chosen by Union Federal and Trident Securities (together, the "Selected
Dealers") to assist in the sale of shares in the Community Offering. Selected
Dealers will receive commissions at an agreed upon rate for all shares sold by
such Selected Dealers. During the Community Offering or Syndicated Community
Offering, Selected Dealers may only solicit indications of interest from their
customers to place orders with us as of a certain date (the "Order Date") for
the purchase of shares of Common Stock. When and if the Holding Company, Union
Federal and Trident Securities believe that enough indications of interest and
orders have been received in the Subscription Offering and the Community
Offering, if any, to consummate the Conversion, Trident Securities will request,
as of the Order Date, Selected Dealers to submit orders to purchase shares for
which they have previously received indications of interest from the customers.
Selected Dealers will send confirmations of the orders to such customers on the
next business day after the Order Date. Selected Dealers will debit the accounts
of their customers on the date which will be three business days from the Order
Date (the "Settlement Date"). On the Settlement Date, funds received by Selected
Dealers will be remitted to us. It is anticipated that the Conversion will be
consummated on the Settlement Date. However, if consummation is delayed after
payment has been received by us from Selected Dealers, funds will earn interest
at the passbook rate, which is currently 4.0% per annum, for an APY of 4.06%,
until the completion of the offering. Funds will be returned promptly in the
event the Conversion is not consummated.
Limitations on Common Stock Purchases
The Plan includes a number of limitations on the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be purchased during the Conversion. These are summarized
below:
(1) No fewer than 25 shares may be purchased by any person purchasing shares
of Common Stock in the Conversion (provided that sufficient shares are
available).
(2) No Eligible Account Holder, Supplemental Eligible Account Holder or Other
Member, in his capacity as such (including all persons on a joint account as
one member), may subscribe for more than 20,000 shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be
purchased in the Conversion by any Eligible Account Holder, Supplemental
Eligible Account Holder or Other Member (including such person's Associates
or group acting in concert and counting all persons on a joint account as one
member) shall be 30,417 shares in the aggregate, except that the ESOP may
purchase in the aggregate not more than 10% of the total number of shares
offered in the Conversion. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which
may be purchased in the Community Offering, if any, by any person (including
such person's Associates or persons acting in concert) is 20,000 in the
aggregate. A member who, together with his Associates and persons acting in
concert, has subscribed for shares in the Subscription Offering may subscribe
<PAGE>
for a number of additional shares in the Community Offering that does not
exceed the lesser of (i) 20,000 shares or (ii) the number of shares which,
when added to the number of shares subscribed for by the member (and his
Associates and persons acting in concert) in the Subscription Offering
(including all persons on a joint account), would not exceed 30,417. The ESOP
expects to purchase a number of shares equal to 8% of the total number of
shares sold in the Conversion; provided, however, that it will subscribe for
no more than 184,000 shares. Union Federal's and the Holding Company's Boards
of Directors may, however, in their sole discretion, increase the maximum
purchase limitation set forth above up to 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock
sold in the Conversion, provided that orders for shares exceeding 5% of the
shares of Common Stock sold in the Conversion may not exceed, in the
aggregate, 10% of the shares sold in the Conversion. The maximum purchase
limitation likely would be increased only if an insufficient number of
subscriptions is received to sell the number of shares of Common Stock at the
minimum of the Estimated Valuation Range. If the Boards of Directors decide
to increase the purchase limitation, all persons who subscribe for shares of
Common Stock offered in the Conversion will be given the opportunity to
increase their subscriptions accordingly, subject to the rights and
preferences of any person who has priority subscription rights. Subscribers
will be notified in writing delivered to the address indicated on their
respective Stock Order Forms. The overall purchase limitation may be reduced
in the sole discretion of the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and
Union Federal. (3) No more than 34.0% of the shares of Common Stock may be
purchased in the Conversion by directors and officers of Union Federal and
the Holding Company and their Associates. This restriction does not apply to
shares purchased by the ESOP.
OTS regulations define "acting in concert" as (i) knowing participation
in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common
goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, or (ii) a combination or
pooling of voting or other interests in the securities of an issuer for a common
purpose pursuant to any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or
other arrangement, whether written or otherwise. The Holding Company and Union
Federal may presume that certain persons are acting in concert based upon, among
other things, joint account relationships or the fact that such persons have
filed joint Schedules 13D with the SEC with respect to other companies.
The term "Associate" of a person is defined to mean (i) any corporation
or organization (other than Union Federal or its subsidiaries or the Holding
Company) of which such person is a director, officer, partner or 10%
shareholder; (ii) any trust or other estate in which such person has a
substantial beneficial interest or serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary
capacity; provided, however that such term shall not include any employee stock
benefit plan of the Holding Company or Union Federal in which such a person has
a substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in a similar
fiduciary capacity, and (iii) any relative or spouse of such person, or relative
of such spouse, who either has the same home as such person or who is a director
or officer of Union Federal or its subsidiaries or the Holding Company.
Directors are not treated as Associates of one another solely because of their
board membership. Compliance with the foregoing limitations does not necessarily
constitute compliance with other regulatory restrictions on acquisitions of the
Common Stock. For a further discussion of limitations on purchases of the Common
Stock during and subsequent to the Conversion, see "-- Restrictions on Sale of
Stock by Directors and Officers," "-- Restrictions on Purchase of Stock by
Directors and Officers Following Conversion," and "Restrictions on Acquisition
of the Holding Company."
Restrictions on Repurchase of Stock by the Holding Company
Repurchases of its shares by the Holding Company will be restricted for
a period of three years from the date of the Conversion. OTS regulations
currently prohibit the Holding Company from repurchasing any of its shares
within one (1) year following the Conversion except in exceptional
circumstances. So long as we continue to meet certain capitalization
requirements, the Holding Company may repurchase shares in an open-market
repurchase program (which cannot exceed 5% of its outstanding shares in a
twelve-month period except in exceptional circumstances) during the second and
third year following the Conversion by giving appropriate prior notice to the
OTS. The OTS has authority to waive these restrictions under certain
circumstances. Unless repurchases are permitted under the foregoing regulations,
the Holding Company may not, for a period of three years from the date of the
Conversion, repurchase any of its capital stock from any person, except in the
event of an offer to purchase by the Holding Company on a pro rata basis from
all of its shareholders which is approved in advance by the OTS, except in
exceptional circumstances established to the satisfaction of the OTS, or except
for purchases of shares required to fund the RRP. The Holding Company may use
some of the net proceeds received from the sale of the Common Stock offered by
this Prospectus to repurchase such Common Stock, subject to OTS requirements.
<PAGE>
Under Indiana law, the Holding Company will be precluded from
repurchasing its equity securities if, after giving effect to such repurchase,
the Holding Company would be unable to pay its debts as they become due or the
Holding Company's assets would be less than its liabilities and obligations to
preferential shareholders.
Restrictions on Sale of Stock by Directors and Officers
All shares of the Common Stock purchased by directors and officers of
Union Federal or the Holding Company in the Conversion will be subject to the
restriction that such shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of for value
for a period of one year following the date of purchase, except for any
disposition of such shares (i) following the death of the original purchaser or
(ii) by reason of an exchange of securities in connection with a merger or
acquisition approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. Sales of shares
of the Common Stock by the Holding Company's directors and officers will also be
subject to certain insider trading and other transfer restrictions under the
federal securities laws. See "Regulation -- Federal Securities Laws" and
"Description of Capital Stock."
Each certificate for such restricted shares will bear a legend
prominently stamped on its face giving notice of the restrictions on transfer,
and instructions will be issued to the Holding Company's transfer agent to the
effect that any transfer within such time period of any certificate or record
ownership of such shares other than as provided above is a violation of the
restriction. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a stock dividend,
stock split or otherwise with respect to restricted shares will be subject to
the same restrictions on sale.
Restrictions on Purchase of Stock by Directors and Officers Following Conversion
OTS regulations provide that for a period of three years following the
Conversion, without prior written approval of the OTS, neither directors nor
officers of Union Federal or the Holding Company nor their Associates may
purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Holding Company, except from a dealer
registered with the SEC. This restriction does not, however, apply to negotiated
transactions involving more than one percent of the Holding Company's
outstanding Common Stock, to shares purchased pursuant to stock option or other
incentive stock plans approved by the Holding Company's shareholders, or to
shares purchased by employee benefit plans maintained by the Holding Company
which may be attributable to individual officers or directors.
Restrictions on Transfer of Subscription Rights and Common Stock
Prior to the completion of the Conversion, OTS regulations and the Plan
of Conversion prohibit any person with subscription rights, including our
Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other
Members, from transferring or entering into any agreement or understanding to
transfer the legal or beneficial ownership of the subscription rights issued
under the Plan or the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon their exercise.
Such rights may be exercised only by the person to whom they are granted and
only for his or her account. Each person exercising such subscription rights
will be required to certify that he or she is purchasing shares solely for his
or her own account and that he or she has no agreement or understanding
regarding the sale or transfer of such shares. The regulations also prohibit any
person from offering or making an announcement of an offer or intent to make an
offer to purchase such subscription rights or shares of Common Stock prior to
the completion of the Conversion. We intend to pursue any and all legal and
equitable remedies in the event we become aware of the transfer of subscription
rights and will not honor orders known by us to involve the transfer of such
rights. In addition, persons who violate the purchase limitations may be subject
to sanctions and penalties imposed by the OTS and/or the SEC.
<PAGE>
Stock Pricing
The aggregate purchase price of the Holding Company Common Stock being
sold in the Conversion will be based on the appraised aggregate pro forma market
value of the Common Stock, as determined by an independent valuation. We
retained RP Financial, which is experienced in the valuation and appraisal of
financial institutions, including savings associations involved in the
conversion process, to prepare an appraisal. RP Financial will receive a fee of
$17,500 for its appraisal, plus out-of-pocket expenses. RP Financial has also
prepared a business plan for us for a fee of $5,000, plus out-of-pocket
expenses. We have agreed to indemnify RP Financial, under certain circumstances,
against liabilities and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of RP
Financial's engagement by us.
RP Financial has prepared an appraisal that establishes the Estimated
Valuation Range of the pro forma market value of the Common Stock as of August
22, 1997, as updated as of October 17, 1997, from a minimum of $19,550,000 to a
maximum of $26,450,000, with a midpoint of $23,000,000. A copy of the appraisal
is on file and available for inspection at the offices of the OTS, 1700 G
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20552 and the Central Regional Office of the OTS,
200 West Madison, Suite 1300, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The appraisal has also
been filed as an exhibit to the Holding Company's Registration Statement with
the SEC, and may be reviewed at the SEC's public reference facilities. See
"Additional Information." The appraisal involved a comparative evaluation of our
operating and financial statistics with those of other financial institutions.
The appraisal also took into account such other factors as the market for
savings associations generally, prevailing economic conditions, both nationally
and in Indiana, which affect the operations of savings associations, the
competitive environment within which we operate, and the effect of our becoming
a subsidiary of the Holding Company. No detailed individual analysis of the
separate components of Union Federal's and the Holding Company's assets and
liabilities was performed in connection with the evaluation. The Board of
Directors reviewed with management RP Financial's methods and assumptions and
accepted RP Financial's appraisal as reasonable and adequate. The Holding
Company, in consultation with Trident Securities, has determined to offer the
Common Stock in the Conversion at a price of $10.00 per share. The Holding
Company's decision regarding the Purchase Price was based solely on its
determination that $10.00 per share is a customary purchase price in conversion
transactions. The Estimated Valuation Range may be increased or decreased to
reflect market and financial conditions prior to the completion of the
Conversion.
Promptly after the completion of the Subscription Offering and the
Community Offering, if any, RP Financial will confirm to us that, to the best of
RP Financial's knowledge and judgment, nothing of a material nature has occurred
which would cause RP Financial to conclude that the amount of the aggregate
proceeds received from the sale of the Common Stock in the Conversion was
incompatible with its estimate of our total pro forma market value at the time
of the sale. If, however, the facts do not justify such a statement, a new
Estimated Valuation Range and price per share may be set. Under such
circumstances, the Holding Company will be required to resolicit subscriptions.
In that event, subscribers would have the right to modify or rescind their
subscriptions and to have their subscription funds returned promptly with
interest and holds on funds authorized for withdrawal from deposit accounts
would be released or reduced; provided that if our pro forma market value upon
Conversion has increased to an amount which does not exceed $30,417,500 (15%
above the maximum of the Estimated Valuation Range), the Holding Company and
Union Federal do not intend to resolicit subscriptions unless it is determined
after consultation with the OTS that a resolicitation is required.
Depending upon market and financial conditions, the number of shares
issued may be more or less than the range in number of shares shown above. A
change in the number of shares to be issued in the Conversion will not affect
subscription rights, which are based on the 2,300,000 shares being offered in
the Subscription Offering. In the event of an increase in the maximum number of
shares being offered, persons who exercise their maximum subscription rights
will be notified of such increase and of their right to purchase additional
shares. Conversely, in the event of a decrease in the maximum number of shares
being offered, persons who exercise their maximum subscription rights will be
notified of such decrease and of the accompanying reduction in the number of
shares for which subscriptions may be made. In the event of a resolicitation,
subscribers will be afforded the opportunity to increase, decrease or maintain
their previously submitted order. The Holding Company will be required to
resolicit if the price per share is changed such that the total aggregate
purchase price is not within the minimum and 15% above the maximum of the
Estimated Valuation Range.
<PAGE>
THE INDEPENDENT VALUATION IS NOT INTENDED AND MUST NOT BE CONSTRUED AS
A RECOMMENDATION OF ANY KIND AS TO THE ADVISABILITY OF VOTING TO APPROVE THE
CONVERSION OR OF PURCHASING THE SHARES OF THE COMMON STOCK. MOREOVER, BECAUSE
SUCH VALUATION IS NECESSARILY BASED UPON ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS OF A NUMBER
OF MATTERS (INCLUDING CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS AS TO THE AMOUNT OF NET PROCEEDS AND
THE EARNINGS THEREON), ALL OF WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME, NO
ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT PERSONS PURCHASING SHARES IN THE CONVERSION WILL
THEREAFTER BE ABLE TO SELL THE SHARES AT PRICES RELATED TO THE FOREGOING
VALUATION OF THE PRO FORMA MARKET VALUE.
Number of Shares to be Issued
It is anticipated that the total offering of Common Stock (the number
of shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion multiplied by the Purchase
Price of $10.00 per share) will be within the current minimum and 15% above the
maximum of the Estimated Valuation Range. Unless otherwise required by the OTS,
no resolicitation of subscribers will be made and subscribers will not be
permitted to modify or cancel their subscriptions so long as the change in the
number of shares to be issued in the Conversion, in combination with the
Purchase Price, results in an offering within the minimum and 15% above the
maximum of the Estimated Valuation Range.
An increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
in the Conversion would decrease both a subscriber's ownership interest and the
Holding Company's pro forma net worth and net income on a per share basis while
increasing (assuming no change in the per share price) pro forma net income and
net worth on an aggregate basis. A decrease in the number of shares to be issued
in the Conversion would increase both a subscriber's ownership interest and the
Holding Company's pro forma net worth and net income on a per share basis while
decreasing (assuming no change in the per share price) pro forma net income and
net worth on an aggregate basis. For a presentation of the effects of such
changes, see "Pro Forma Data."
Interpretation and Amendment of the Plan
To the extent permitted by law, all interpretations of the Plan by
Union Federal and the Holding Company will be final. The Plan provides that, if
deemed necessary or desirable by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company
and Union Federal, the Plan may be substantively amended by the Boards of
Directors, as a result of comments from regulatory authorities or otherwise,
with the concurrence of the OTS. Moreover, if the Plan of Conversion is so
amended, subscriptions which have been received prior to such amendment will not
be refunded unless otherwise required by the OTS.
Conditions and Termination
Completion of the Conversion requires the approval of the Plan by the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the total number of votes of
members eligible to be cast at the Special Meeting and the sale of all shares of
the Common Stock within 24 months following approval of the Plan by the members.
If these conditions are not satisfied, the Plan will be terminated and we will
continue business in the mutual form of organization. The Plan may be terminated
by the Boards of Directors of Union Federal and the Holding Company at any time
prior to the Special Meeting and, with the approval of the OTS, by such Boards
of Directors at any time thereafter. Furthermore, OTS regulations and the Plan
of Conversion require that the Holding Company complete the sale of Common Stock
within 45 days after the close of the Subscription Offering. The OTS may grant
an extension of this time period if necessary, but no assurance can be given
that an extension would be granted. See "-- Offering of Common Stock."
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OF UNION FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
General
Union Community Bancorp was recently formed as an Indiana corporation
on September 11, 1997, for the purpose of issuing the Common Stock and owning
all of the capital stock of Union Federal issued in the Conversion. As a newly
formed corporation, the Holding Company has no operating history. All
information in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included within this document.
<PAGE>
Our principal business has historically consisted of attracting
deposits from the general public and making loans secured by residential real
estate. Our earnings primarily depend upon our net interest income, which is the
difference between our interest income and interest expense. Interest income is
a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given
period and the yield earned on such loans and investments. Interest expense is a
function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same
period and interest rates paid on such deposits and borrowings. Our earnings are
also affected by provisions for loan losses, service charges, operating expenses
and income taxes.
We are also affected by prevailing economic conditions, as well as
government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and
fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. See "Regulation." Deposit
flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on
competing investments, account maturities and levels of personal income and
savings within our market. In addition, deposit growth is affected by how
customers perceive the stability of the financial services industry amid various
current events such as regulatory changes, failures of other financial
institutions and financing of the deposit insurance fund. Lending activities are
influenced by the demand for and supply of housing lenders, the availability and
cost of funds and various other items. Sources of funds for our lending
activities include deposits, payments on loans, borrowings and income provided
from operations.
Current Business Strategy
Our business strategy is to operate a well-capitalized, profitable and
independent community savings and loan association dedicated primarily to
residential lending with an emphasis on personal service. We have sought to
implement this strategy by (i) emphasizing the origination of one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans in our market area, (ii) investing in
high-quality investment securities and loans, and (iii) maintaining high levels
of capital.
The highlights of our business strategy are as follows:
o Profitability. Although no assurance can be made regarding
future profitability, we have been profitable in each of the
past five fiscal years. We had net income of $886,000 in
fiscal 1996, $992,000 in fiscal 1995, and $1.2 million in
fiscal 1994. Our net income for the six months ended June 30,
1997, was $563,000. Our average return on average assets for
the five years ended December 31, 1996, was 1.6%. Our returns
on average assets for the year ended December 31, 1996, and
the six months ended June 30, 1997 (on an annualized basis)
were 1.1% and 1.4%, respectively. Our net income for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 would have been $1.1
million, and our annualized return on average assets would
have been 1.4% if not for our recognition during that period
of the one-time, non-recurring special assessment of
approximately $362,000 ($219,000 net of tax) to replenish the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. See
"--Comparison of Operation Results for the Six Months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996."
o Origination of One- to Four-Family Loans. Our primary lending
activity is the origination of one- to four- family
residential loans secured by property in our primary market
area. As of June 30, 1997, more than 90% of the loans in this
category in our portfolio were secured by property located in
Montgomery County.
o Asset Quality. Due largely to our conservative loan
underwriting standards, we have been successful in maintaining
a high level of asset quality. At June 30, 1997, only
$203,000, or .24% of our total assets were included in
nonperforming assets. At the same date, $269,000, or .32% of
our total assets were delinquent more than 30 days but less
than 90 days. See "Business of Union Federal--Non-Performing
and Problem Assets."
<PAGE>
o Capital Position. At June 30, 1997, we exceeded all of our
regulatory capital requirements, and our equity capital was
$14.5 million, or 17.2% of total assets. Assuming net proceeds
at the midpoint of the Estimated Valuation Range, our pro
forma equity to assets ratio (excluding $11.2 million of net
proceeds to be retained by the Holding Company) at such date
would have been 24.7%. Assuming net proceeds at the minimum,
maximum and 15% above the maximum of the Estimated Valuation
Range, our pro forma equity to assets ratio (excluding the
proceeds to be retained by the Holding Company) at such date
would have been 23.6%, 25.9% and 27.3%, respectively.
o Use of Proceeds. We assume that most of the Common Stock
purchased in the Conversion will be purchased with funds that
are not currently on deposit with us. Thus, the sale of the
Common Stock will significantly increase the amount of funds
available to us that we may invest. In order for us to invest
these funds in a prudent manner, we anticipate that in the
short term we will use most of the Conversion proceeds we
receive to invest in low-risk securities, such as Treasury
bills or other government obligations, and to repay a portion
of our advances from the FHLB-Indianapolis. In the long term,
we intend to invest the net conversion proceeds in mortgage
loans and in other assets that are consistent with our normal
investment activities, which we anticipate should improve our
net interest margin and have a positive impact on our
operations.
Asset/Liability Management
An important component of our asset/liability management policy
includes examining the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities
and monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on our net
portfolio value.
An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time
period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If our assets
mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than our liabilities, our
net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during
periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest
rates. Conversely, if our assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser
extent than our liabilities, our net portfolio value and net interest income
would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase
during periods of falling interest rates. Our policy has been to mitigate the
interest rate risk inherent in the historical business of savings associations,
the origination of long-term loans funded by short-term deposits, by pursuing
certain strategies designed to decrease the vulnerability of our earnings to
material and prolonged changes in interest rates.
Because of the lack of customer demand for adjustable rate loans in our
market area, we primarily originate fixed-rate real estate loans which accounted
for approximately 72% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 1997. To manage the
interest rate risk of this type of loan portfolio, we limit maturities of
fixed-rate loans to no more than 20 years. In addition, we continue to offer and
attempt to increase our volume of adjustable rate loans when market interest
rates make these type loans more attractive to customers. Following the
Conversion, we believe there will be sufficient demand in our market area to
continue our policy of emphasizing lending in the one- to four-family real
estate loan area. In addition, we hope to increase our non-residential mortgage,
consumer and commercial loan portfolios by modest amounts. There is no
assurance, however, that we will be able to do so. See "Business of Union
Federal Savings and Loan Association--Lending Activities."
We believe it is critical to manage the relationship between interest
rates and the effect on our net portfolio value ("NPV"). This approach
calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from
assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as
cash flows from off-balance sheet contracts. We manage assets and liabilities
within the context of the marketplace, regulatory limitations and within limits
established by our Board of Directors on the amount of change in NPV which is
acceptable given certain interest rate changes.
<PAGE>
The OTS issued a regulation, which uses a net market value methodology
to measure the interest rate risk exposure of savings associations. Under this
OTS regulation, an institution's "normal" level of interest rate risk in the
event of an assumed change in interest rates is a decrease in the institution's
NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of its assets. Savings
associations with over $300 million in assets or less than a 12% risk-based
capital ratio are required to file OTS Schedule CMR. Data from Schedule CMR is
used by the OTS to calculate changes in NPV (and the related "normal" level of
interest rate risk) based upon certain interest rate changes (discussed below).
Associations which do not meet either of the filing requirements are not
required to file OTS Schedule CMR, but may do so voluntarily. As we do not meet
either of these requirements, we are not required to file Schedule CMR, although
we do so voluntarily. Under the regulation, associations which must file are
required to take a deduction (the interest rate risk capital component) from
their total capital available to calculate their risk based capital requirement
if their interest rate exposure is greater than "normal." The amount of that
deduction is one-half of the difference between (a) the institution's actual
calculated exposure to a 200 basis point interest rate increase or decrease
(whichever results in the greater pro forma decrease in NPV) and (b) its
"normal" level of exposure which is 2% of the present value of its assets.
Presented below, as of June 30, 1997, is an analysis performed by the
OTS of our interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous
and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments,
up and down 400 basis points. At June 30, 1997, 2% of the present value of our
assets was approximately $1.7 million. Because the interest rate risk of a 200
basis point increase in market rates (which was greater than the interest rate
risk of a 200 basis point decrease) was $3.8 million at June 30, 1997, we would
have been required to deduct $1.05 million from our total capital available to
calculate our risk based capital requirement if we had been subject to the OTS'
reporting requirements under this methodology. Our exposure to interest rate
risk results from the concentration of fixed rate mortgage loans in our
portfolio.

</TABLE>
* Basis points (1 basis point equals .01%).
This chart illustrates, for example, that a 200 basis point (or 2%)
increase in interest rates would result in a $3.8 million (or 24%) decrease in
the net portfolio value of our assets. This hypothetical increase in interest
rates would also result in a 359 basis point (or 3.59%) decrease in the ratio of
the net portfolio value to the present value of our assets.
As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain
shortcomings are inherent in the methods of analysis presented above. For
example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market
interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and
liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while
interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.
Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which
restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of
the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates
of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could likely
deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

Average Balances and Interest Rates and Yields
The following tables present the balances and interest rates at June
30, 1997, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, and 1996, and the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the average monthly balances, of
each category of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
and the interest earned or paid on such amounts. Our management believes that
the use of month-end average balances instead of daily average balances has not
caused any material difference in the information presented.

Interest Rate Spread
Our results of operations have been determined primarily by net
interest income and, to a lesser extent, fee income, miscellaneous income and
general and administrative expenses. Our net interest income is determined by
the interest rate spread between the yields we earn on interest-earning assets
and the rates we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, and by the relative
amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The following table sets forth the weighted average effective interest
rate that we earned on our loan and investment portfolios, the weighted average
effective cost of our deposits and advances, the interest rate spread, and net
yield on weighted average interest-earning assets for the periods and as of the
dates shown. Average balances are based on average month-end balances. Our
management believes that the use of month-end average balances instead of daily

Financial Condition at June 30, 1997 Compared to Financial Condition at December
31, 1996
Total assets increased $1.5 million, or 18.1% at June 30, 1997,
compared to December 31, 1996. The largest increases were primarily in cash and
cash equivalents which increased $793,000, or 54.1%, and net loans which
increased $470,000, or .6%. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was
principally in short-term interest-bearing deposits. Funds were retained in
short-term interest-bearing deposits to meet the liquidity demands of short-term
public funds deposits and to provide additional liquidity for Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") advances maturing in the third quarter of 1997. The increase in
net loans was principally in real estate mortgage loans, and a result of
increased customer demand. An increase of $1.6 million, or 2.7%, in deposits
funded this growth.
Average assets increased $5.3 million from $78.3 million for the period
ended December 31, 1996, to $83.6 million for the period ended June 30, 1997, an
increase of 6.8%. Average interest-earning assets represented 97.3% of average
assets for the period ended December 31, 1996 compared to 97.6% for the period
ended June 30, 1997. Although the average of most interest-earning assets
increased during the period ended June 1997, average loans experienced the
largest increase amounting to $4.4 million, or 6.4%, compared to the December
1996 period. The percentage of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities was 121.9% for the period ended December 31, 1996
and 121.2% for the period ended June 30, 1997.
Average balances of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity
decreased $478,000, or 15.6%, from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997 as a
result of principal repayments, while other investment securities held to
maturity increased $242,000, or 7.6%, from $3.2 million for the period ended
December 31, 1996 to $3.4 million for the period ended June 30, 1997 due to
purchases. Although we have not purchased any mortgage-backed securities for
several years, mortgage-backed securities have been purchased on occasion and
are considered for purchase on an ongoing basis because such instruments offer
liquidity and lower credit risk than other types of investments. The primary
risk associated with these instruments is that in a declining interest rate
environment the prepayment level of the loans underlying these securities will
accelerate, which reduces the effective yield and exposes the association to
interest rate risk on the prepaid amounts. In an increasing rate environment,
the primary risk associated with these securities is that the fixed-rate portion
of such securities will not adjust to market rates which reduces our spread. See
"Business -- Lending Activities -- Mortgage-Backed Securities."
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses. Average loans increased $4.4
million, or 6.4%, from the period ended December 31, 1996, to June 30, 1997. The
growth in loans was funded by increased average deposits of $2.5 million and
increased average FHLB advances of $2.4 million. Average loans were $68.3
million for the December 1996 period and $72.7 million for the June 1997 period.
The average rates on loans were 8.14% for the December, 1996 period and 8.23%
for the June 1997 period, an increase of 9 basis points. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of total loans increased from .22% to .27% due to an
increase in the allowance for loan losses from $159,000 at December 31, 1996 to
$198,000 at June 30, 1997. The increase in our allowance for loan losses was a
result of a $111,000 provision for loan losses for the period ending June 30,
1997 offset by a $72,000 of a charge-off taken during that same period . The
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 32.5% at
December 31, 1996 compared to 162.3% at June 30, 1997. Nonperforming loans
decreased from $489,000 at December 31, 1996 to $122,000 at June 30, 1997.
Nonperforming loans of $203,000 transferred to foreclosed real estate during the
period ended June 30, 1997 consisted of two loans secured by single-family
residences in the amounts of $36,000 and $45,000 and a loan secured by a
multi-family residence in the amount of $122,000. No losses are expected on the
two single-family residences as their current estimated fair value exceeds their
carrying amounts less estimated selling expense. We did chargeoff $72,000
relating to the multi-family loan at the time of the transfer to foreclosed real
estate. Although we consider this charge-off to be an isolated and unusual
occurrence based on our history of little or no loan losses, we increased the
risk factor used to calculate the necessary allowance for loan losses related to
loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. We have experienced
minimum residential loan losses in the past with no losses recorded in over five
years and do not expect our experience in this area to change in future years;
therefore, we have not adjusted the risk factor used on the residential loan
portfolio.
<PAGE>
Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment decreased slightly from
December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997 due to depreciation for the period exceeding
purchases. We have no branches and lease to other businesses a portion of our
main office and parking lot. See "Business -- Properties."
Deposits. Deposits increased $1.6 million to $62.1 million during the
period from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997, an increase of 2.6%. Increased
deposits were utilized to fund loan growth and resulted in an increase in cash
and short-term interest-bearing deposits. Interest-bearing demand and savings
deposits increased $792,000, or 5.9%, between December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1997. Certificates of deposits also increased $827,000, or 1.8%, during this
period. Average total deposits increased $2.5 million, or 4.2%, from $58.9
million for the period ended December 31, 1996 compared to $61.4 million for the
period ended June 30, 1997.
Borrowed Funds. Borrowed funds decreased $807,000, or 10.2%, from
December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997. The decline in total borrowed funds was
comprised of a decrease in FHLB advances of $609,000, or 9.4%, and a decrease in
the note payable to Pedcor Investments - 1993-XVI, LP ("Pedcor"), a limited
partnership organized to build, own and operate a 48-unit apartment complex, of
$198,000, or 14.2%. The note to Pedcor was used to fund our investment in the
Pedcor low-income housing income tax credit limited partnership and bears no
interest so long as there exists no event of default. Average FHLB advances
increased to $6.0 million for the June 1997 period compared to $3.6 million for
the December 1996 period, an increase of $2.4 million, or 66.7%.
Retained Earnings. Retained earnings increased $563,000, or 4.1%, from
$13.9 million at December 31, 1996 to $14.5 million at June 30, 1997. The
increase was due to net income during the period.
Financial Condition at December 31, 1996 Compared to Financial Condition at
December 31, 1995
Total assets increased $9.2 million, or 12.4%, at December 31, 1996,
compared to December 31, 1995. The largest increase was in net loans which
increased $11.4 million, or 18.6%. This increase was funded in part by an
increase in deposits of $3.0 million, or 5.3%, and an increase in FHLB advances
of $5.4 million, or 508.6%. The increase in net loans of $11.4 million was
primarily in one-to-four family loans and resulted from a strong local demand
for residential financing.
Average assets increased from $72.7 million for the period ended
December 31, 1995, to $78.3 million for the period ended December 31, 1996, an
increase of $5.6 million, or 7.7%. Average interest-earning assets represented
97.3% of average assets for the period ended in 1996 compared to 96.7% for the
period ended in 1995. The increase in average earning assets was primarily in
the loan portfolio. Average interest-bearing assets as a percentage of average
interest-bearing liabilities was 121.9% and 121.8% for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Average balances of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity
decreased $716,000, or 19.0%, for the year ended December 31, 1996 as a result
of principal repayments, while other investment securities held to maturity
decreased $749,000, or 19.1%, from $3.9 million for the period ended December
31, 1995 to $3.2 million for the period ended December 31, 1996 due to
maturities.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses. The increase in our net loans of
$11.4 million, or 18.6% from December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996 was
primarily in real estate mortgage loans. Average loans increased from $61.0
million to $68.3 million while the average rates earned on such loans decreased
17 basis points to 8.14%. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans increased to 0.22% from 0.18% as a result of an increase in loans and no
charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage non-performing loans
was 32.5% and 71.15% at December 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively. Non-performing
loans were $489,000 and $156,000 at each date, respectively. Included in
non-performing loans at December 31, 1996 was an impaired loan of $112,000. A
provision for loss of $37,000 had been recorded on this loan.
<PAGE>
Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment decreased slightly from
December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996 due to depreciation for the period
exceeding purchases.
Deposits. Deposits increased approximately $3.0 million, or 5.3%,
during the period ended December 31, 1996. Interest-bearing demand and savings
deposits increased $1.2 million, or 10.2%, while certificates of deposit
increased $1.8 million, or 3.9%. Average deposits increased $3.0 million, or
5.4%, during the period ended December 31, 1996. Average interest-bearing demand
and savings deposits increased $571,000, or 4.7% while certificates of deposits
increased $2.4 million, or 5.6%. Although we did not offer any special deposit
programs during 1996, we increased our deposits by offering rates that were
competitive with the rates offered by other institutions in the area. The rates
paid on interest-bearing demand and saving deposits decreased 41 and 6 basis
points, respectively, while the rate paid on certificates of deposits increased
15 basis points.
Borrowed Funds. The growth in loans was partially funded by the
increase in FHLB advances of $5.4 million, or 508.6% from December 31, 1995 to
December 31, 1996. We elected to utilize FHLB advances available at rates
comparable to the cost of acquiring local deposits to partially fund the
increase in loans. The majority of these FHLB advances matured in less than one
year. Average FHLB advances increased from $1.9 million at December 31, 1995 to
$3.6 million at December 31, 1996.
Retained Earnings. Retained earnings increased $886,000, or 6.8%, from
$13.0 million at December 31, 1995 to $13.9 million at December 31, 1996. The
increase was due to net income during the period.
Comparison of Operating Results For Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
General. Net income increased $27,000, or 5.0%, from $536,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 to $563,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997. Net interest income after provision for losses on loans increased $73,000,
or 5.8%, for the 1997 period compared to the 1996. The increase in net interest
income after provision for loan losses more than offset the $37,000 decrease in
other income, the $5,000 increase in other expenses and the $4,000 increase in
income taxes. Annualized return on average assets was 1.35% and 1.43 % for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Interest Income. Our total interest income was $3.3 million for the
1997 period compared to $2.9 million for the 1996 period. The increase in
interest income was due primarily to an increase in volume. Average earning
assets increased $8.8 million, or 12.1%, from $72.8 million for the 1996 period
compared to $81.6 for the 1997 period. The average yield on interest-earning
assets increased slightly from 8.02% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to
8.03% for the comparable period in 1997.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $195,000, or 12.0%, for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to the 1996 period. Average
interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.9 million, or 13.4%, from $59.4
million for the 1996 period to $67.3 million during the 1997 period. The average
balance of each deposit type increased from the 1996 period to the 1997 period
with a $3.5 million, or 6.0%, increase in total average deposits. Average FHLB
advances increased $4.5 million, or 300.0%, from $1.5 million for the 1996
period to $6.0 million during the 1997 period. We continued to use FHLB advances
to partially fund loan growth.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $160,000, or 12.4%,
for the 1997 period compared to the 1996 period. The increase was primarily due
to the $105,000 increase due to volume increases while the lower cost of
interest-bearing liabilities was primarily responsible for the $55,000 increase
due to rate. The interest spread was 2.62% for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to 2.54% for the comparable 1996 period.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the period
ended June 30, 1997 was $111,000 compared to $24,000 for the same period in
1996. We increased the provision for loan losses due to the increase in
outstanding loans and the losses recorded in 1997 associated with non-performing
loans secured by multi-family real estate. In response to the loss experienced
in 1997, we increased the risk factor used on multi-family and commercial real
estate loans.
<PAGE>
Other Income (Losses). Other income (losses) decreased $37,000 , or
63.8%, for the 1997 period compared to the 1996 period primarily due to
increased losses of $35,000 from our investment in a low-income housing income
tax credit limited partnership. Our investment in the limited partnership
represents a 99% equity in Pedcor. In addition to recording our equity in the
losses of Pedcor, we recorded the benefit of low income housing income tax
credits in the amount of $89,000 for both six-month periods.
Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits were
$252,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to $230,000 for
the 1996 period, and increase of $22,000, or 9.6%. This increase resulted from
the addition of a full-time teller, bookkeeper and receptionist to our staff and
normal increases in employee compensation and related payroll taxes.
Net Occupancy and Equipment Expenses. Occupancy expenses increased
$4,000, or 33.3%, and equipment expenses increased $1,000, or 10.0%, during the
1997 period compared to the 1996 period.
Deposit Insurance Expense. Deposit insurance expense decreased $53,000,
or 81.5%, from $65,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $12,000 for the
same period in 1997. This decrease was due to the recapitalization of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") which ultimately resulted in a
decline in our assessment. Prior to the recapitalization of SAIF, we paid an
assessment of $.23 per $100 of deposits. Subsequent to the recapitalization, the
assessment was reduced to $.0644 per $100 of deposits.
Other Expense. Other expenses, consisting primarily of expenses related
to service center fees, advertising, directors' fees, professional fees,
supervisory examination fees, supplies, and postage increased $31,000, or 24.4%
for the 1997 period compared to the 1996 period. The increase resulted from
nominal increases in a variety of expense categories.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $4,000, or 1.7%,
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the 1996 period. The
increase was directly related to the increase in taxable income for the period.
The effective tax rate was 29.4% and 30.1% for the respective 1997 and 1996
periods.
Comparison of Operating Results For Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and
1994
General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 decreased
$106,000, or 10.7%, to $886,000 compared to $992,000 for 1995. Net income for
1994 was $1,155,000, $163,000, or 14.1%, greater than the 1995 net income.
Return on average assets for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
was 1.13%, 1.36% and 1.63%, respectively. Return on average equity was 6.54% for
1996, 7.84% for 1995 and 10.02% for 1994.
Interest Income. Total interest income was $6.1 million for 1996
compared to $5.7 million for 1995. Average earning assets increased $5.8
million, or 8.3%, from $70.3 million to $76.1 million from 1995 to 1996. Volume
increases, primarily from loans, accounted for $493,000 of the increase while
lower interest rates offset the increase by $110,000. Total interest income
increased $480,000, or 9.1%, from 1994 to 1995 due to an increase in the average
earning assets accompanied by an increase in the average yields. Average earning
assets increased $1.9 million, or 2.8%, during this period while the average
yield on earning assets increased 48 basis points to 8.15% from 7.67%. The
increase in average loans and the increased loan yield were the primary factors
contributing to these increases.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $276,000, or 8.8%, during
1996 compared to 1995. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result
of an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $4.7 million, or 8.1%,
from $57.7 million to $62.4 million. The growth in average interest-bearing
liabilities was primarily attributable to the growth in certificates of deposit
and FHLB advances. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased $2.4
million, or 5.6%, while average FHLB advances increases $1.7 million, or 92.0%.
We utilized the deposit growth and increased borrowings from the FHLB to fund
loan growth. Interest expense increased $641,000, or 25.6%, in 1995 compared to
1994 reflecting increases in interest rates of $560,000 and volume increases of
$81,000. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.42%
in 1994 to 5.46% in 1995.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $107,000, or 4.1%,
from $2.6 million for 1995 to $2.7 million for 1996. Net interest income
decrease $161,000, or 5.9%, in 1995 from 1994. Our interest rate spread was
2.54%, 2.69% and 3.25% for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
<PAGE>
Provision for Loan Losses. Our provision for loan losses for the year
ended December 31, 1996 was $48,000. The 1996 provision and the related increase
in the allowance for loan losses was considered adequate, based on growth, size,
condition and components of the loan portfolio. The provision of $24,000 for
both 1995 and 1994 reflected the more moderate growth of the loan portfolio.
Other Income (Losses). Other income (losses) increased $101,000, or
46.5%, from 1995 to 1996 primarily due to a decrease in losses of $76,000 from
our investment in a limited partnership. Other income (losses) decreased
$177,000 from 1994 to 1995 primarily due to increased losses of $195,000 from
our investment in the limited partnership.
Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits were
$461,000 for 1996 compared to $481,000 for 1995, a decrease of $20,000, or 4.2%.
This decrease was primarily a result of a $5,000 decrease in retirement plan
contributions and a $13,000 increase loan origination costs which are deferred
over the lives of the related loans. Salaries and employee benefits decreased
$8,000, or 1.6%, from 1994 to 1995.
Net Occupancy and Equipment Expenses. Occupancy expenses decreased
$27,000, or 40.9%, and equipment expenses remained constant during 1996 as
compared to 1995. The decrease in occupancy expenses was primarily attributable
to an additional $32,000 of repairs and maintenance expenses in 1995 as compared
to 1996. Occupancy expenses for 1994 were $22,000, or 50.0%, less than the 1995
expenses and equipment expenses were $3,000, or 17.6%, less than the 1995
expenses. Once again, additional repairs and maintenance expense was the primary
reason for the increase in 1995.
Deposit Insurance Expense. Deposit insurance expense increased
$368,000, or 289.8%, from $127,000 for 1995 to $495,000 for 1996 due to the one
time SAIF special assessment of approximately $362,000. Deposit insurance
expense for 1994 was $126,000, $1,000 less than the 1995 expense.
Other Expense. Other expenses, consisting primarily of expenses related
to service center fees, advertising, directors' fees, professional fees,
supervisory examination fees, supplies, and postage decreased $41,000, or 12.5%,
from 1995 to 1996. The decrease resulted from decreases in a variety of expense
categories. Other expenses increased $120,000, or 57.7%, from 1994 to 1995. The
increase resulted from increases in a variety of expense categories and was not
attributable to any one item.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $10,000, or 3.1%, from
1995 to 1996. Income tax expense decreased $313,000, or 49.0%, from 1994 to
1995. The decrease in 1995 was directly related to the decrease in taxable
income for the year and the increase in tax credits from $75,000 in 1994 to
$178,000 in 1995. The effective tax rate was 27.5%, 24.7% and 35.6% for 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following is a summary of our cash flows, which are of three major
types. Cash flows from operating activities consist primarily of net income
generated by cash. Investing activities generate cash flows through the
origination and principal collection on loans as well as purchases and sales of
securities. Investing activities will generally result in negative cash flows
when we experience loan growth. Cash flows from financing activities include
savings deposits, withdrawals and maturities and changes in borrowings. The
following table summarizes cash flows for each of the six-month periods ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 and each year in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996.

Federal regulations require FHLB-member savings associations to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a monthly average of
not less than a specified percentage of their net withdrawable savings deposits
plus short-term borrowings. Liquid assets include cash, certain time deposits,
certain bankers' acceptances, specified U.S. government, state or federal agency
obligations, certain corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certain mutual
funds, certain mortgage-related securities, and certain first lien residential
mortgage loans. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time-to-time by
the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10%, and is currently 5%,
although the OTS has proposed a reduction of the percentage to 4%. Also, a
savings association currently must maintain short-term liquid assets
constituting at least 1% of its average daily balance of net withdrawable
deposit accounts and current borrowings, although the OTS has proposed
eliminating this requirement. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to
meet these liquidity requirements. As of June 30, 1997, we had liquid assets of
$5.5 million, and a regulatory liquidity ratio of 8.7%, of which 56% constituted
short-term investments. It is our belief that upon completion of the Conversion
our liquidity ratios will increase.
Pursuant to OTS capital regulations, savings associations must
currently meet a 1.5% tangible capital requirement, a 3% leverage ratio (or core
capital) requirement, and a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets
ratio of 8%. At June 30, 1997, our tangible capital ratio was 17.2%, our core
capital ratio was 17.2%, and our risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets
ratio was 34.6%. Therefore, at June 30, 1997, our capital levels exceeded all
applicable regulatory capital requirements currently in effect. The following
table provides the minimum regulatory capital requirements and our capital
ratios as of June 30, 1997:

(2) The OTS has proposed and is expected to adopt a core capital requirement
for savings associations comparable to that recently adopted by the OCC for
national banks. The new regulation, as proposed, would require at least 3%
of total adjusted assets for savings associations that received the highest
supervisory rating for safety and soundness, and 4% to 5% for all other
savings associations. The final form of such new OTS core capital
requirement may differ from that which has been proposed. Union Federal
expects to be in compliance with such new requirements. See "Regulation --
Regulatory Capital."
For definitions of tangible capital, core capital and risk-based
capital, see "Regulation -- Savings Association Regulatory Capital."
As of June 30, 1997, management is not aware of any current
recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented,
would have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on our
liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

Current Accounting Issues
In November 1993, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, "Employer's Accounting
for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." The SOP, among other things, changed the
measure of compensation expense recorded by employers from the cost of employee
stock ownership plan shares allocated to employees during the period to the fair
value of employee stock ownership plan shares allocated. Assuming the
acquisition of shares of stock by the ESOP, the application of SOP 93-6 is
likely to result in fluctuations in compensation expense due to changes in the
fair value of the stock.
In October, 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 entitled "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value based method of
accounting and disclosing the amount of stock-based compensation paid to
employees. Historically, Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" has measured compensation cost using
the method based on the award's intrinsic value. Those electing to remain with
the accounting in APB Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net
income and, when presented, earnings per share, as if the fair value based
method of accounting defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. The disclosure
provisions of SFAS No. 123 will be adopted by management upon completion of the
Conversion. We do not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 123 disclosure
provisions will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
of Financial Assets, Servicing Rights and Extinguishment of Liabilities," that
provides accounting guidance on transfers of financial assets, servicing of
financial assets, and extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 introduces an
approach to accounting for transfers of financial assets that provides a means
of dealing with more complex transactions in which the seller disposes of only a
partial interest in the assets, retains rights or obligations, makes use of
special purpose entities in the transaction, or otherwise has continuing
involvement with the transferred assets. The new accounting method provides that
the carrying amount of the financial assets transferred be allocated to
components of the transaction based on their relative fair values. Transactions
subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 125 include, among others, transfers
involving repurchase agreements, securitizations of financial assets, loan
participations and transfers of receivables with recourse. An entity that
undertakes an obligation to service financial assets recognizes either a
servicing asset or liability for the servicing contract. A servicing asset or
liability that is purchased or assumed is initially recognized at its fair
value. Servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over
the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss and are
subject to subsequent assessments for impairment based on fair value. SFAS No.
125 provides that a liability is removed from the balance sheet only if the
debtor either pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the
liability or is legally released from being the primary obligor. SFAS No. 125 is
effective for applicable transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, and is
to be applied prospectively. Retroactive application is not permitted. We do not
believe that adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or results of operations.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share,
establishing standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and
applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock,
such as the shares issuable under our proposed stock option plan, as well as any
other entity that chooses to present EPS in its financial statements.
This Statement simplifies the current standards of APB Opinion No. 15,
Earnings per Share, and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It
eliminates the presentation of primary EPS and requires presentation of basic
EPS (the principal difference being that common stock equivalents are not
considered in the computation of basic EPS). It also requires dual presentation
of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities
with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation.
Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if the potential common shares were exercised or converted into
common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the
earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to that of fully
diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion No. 15. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS
No. 128 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.
<PAGE>
The Statement is effective for our financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. Earlier
application is not permitted. The Statement requires restatement of all
prior-period EPS data presented.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure, continuing the current requirements to
disclose certain information about an entity's capital structure found in APB
Opinion No. 10, Omnibus Opinion--1966, Opinion No. 15, and SFAS No. 47,
Disclosure of Long-Term Obligations. It consolidates specific disclosure
requirements from those standards. SFAS No. 129 is effective for our financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim
periods. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 129 to have a material impact
on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income, establishing standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. It requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. This Statement does not
require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement.
SFAS No. 130 will also require us to (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position.
The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided
for comparative purposes is required. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No.
130 to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of
operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishing standards for the way
public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This Statement
supersedes SFAS No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise, but retains the requirement to report information about major
customers. It amends SFAS No. 94, Consolidation of All Majority-Owned
Subsidiaries, to remove the special disclosure requirements for previously
unconsolidated subsidiaries. This Statement does not apply to nonpublic business
enterprises or to not-for-profit organizations.
SFAS No. 131 requires that a public business enterprise report
financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments.
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the
basis that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources to segments.
This Statement requires that a public business enterprise report a
measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items,
and segment assets. It requires reconciliations of total segment revenues, total
segment profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for
segments to corresponding amounts in the enterprise's general-purpose financial
statements. This Statement also requires that a public business enterprise
report descriptive information about the way that the operating segments were
determined, the products and services provided by the operating segments,
differences between the measurements used in reporting segment information and
those used in the enterprise's general-purpose financial statements, and changes
in the measurement of segment amounts from period to period.
<PAGE>
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application,
comparative information for earlier years is to be restated. This Statement need
not be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of its
application, but comparative information for interim periods in the initial year
of application is to be reported in financial statements for interim periods in
the second year of application. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 131 to
have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Impact of Inflation
The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These principles
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation.
Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not
necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price
of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period
of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturities structures of our
assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance
levels.
The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest
rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Such expense items as
employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may
be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of
inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral
securing loans that we have made. We are unable to determine the extent, if any,
to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to
inflation.
BUSINESS OF UNION FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
General
We were organized as a state-chartered savings and loan association in
1913. Since then, we have conducted our business from our full-service office
located in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Our principal business consists of
attracting deposits from the general public and originating fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate loans secured primarily by first mortgage liens on one- to
four-family residential real estate. Our deposit accounts are insured up to
applicable limits by the SAIF of the FDIC.
We believe that we have developed a solid reputation among our loyal
customer base because of our commitment to personal service and because of
strong support of the local community. We offer a number of financial services,
including: (i) residential real estate loans; (ii) multi-family loans; (iii)
commercial real estate loans; (iv) construction loans; (v) home improvement
loans (vi) money market demand accounts ("MMDAs") (vii) passbook savings
accounts; and (viii) certificates of deposit.
Lending Activities
We have historically concentrated our lending activities on the
origination of loans secured by first mortgage liens for the purchase,
construction or refinancing of one- to four-family residential real property.
One- to four-family residential mortgage loans continue to be the major focus of
our loan origination activities, representing 77.9% of our total loan portfolio
at June 30, 1997. We also offer multi-family mortgage loans, commercial real
estate loans, construction loans, and, to a limited extent, consumer loans
consisting of loans secured by deposits and home improvement loans. Mortgage
loans secured by multi-family properties and commercial real estate totaled
approximately 13.6% and 4.7%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio at June
30, 1997. Construction loans totaled approximately 3.7% of our total loans as of
June 30, 1997. Consumer loans, which consist of home improvement loans and
passbook loans, constituted approximately .2% of our total loan portfolio at
June 30, 1997.

</TABLE>
One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. Our primary lending activity
consists of the origination of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans
secured by property located in our primary market area. We generally do not
originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans if the ratio of the
loan amount to the lesser of the current cost or appraised value of the property
(the "Loan-to-Value Ratio") exceeds 95%. We require private mortgage insurance
on loans with a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80%. The cost of such insurance
is factored into the annual percentage rate on such loans. We originate and
retain fixed rate loans which provide for the payment of principal and interest
over a 15- or 20-year period, or balloon loans having terms of up to 15 years
with principal and interest payments calculated using a 30-year amortization
period.
We also offer adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans. The interest rate
on ARM loans is indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury securities yields adjusted
to a constant maturity. We may offer discounted initial interest rates on ARM
loans, but we require that the borrower qualify for the ARM loan at the
fully-indexed rate (the index rate plus the margin). A substantial portion of
the ARM loans in our portfolio at June 30, 1997 provide for maximum rate
adjustments per year and over the life of the loan of 1% and 5%, respectively.
Our residential ARMs are amortized for terms up to 25 years.
<PAGE>
ARM loans decrease the risk associated with changes in interest rates
by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates
increase, the underlying payments by the borrower also increase, thus increasing
the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability
of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates.
Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the
maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustment permitted by the loan
documents, and, therefore, is potentially limited in effectiveness during
periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At June 30, 1997, approximately 28.3%
of our one- to four-family residential loans had adjustable rates of interest.
All of the one- to four-family residential mortgage loans that we
originate include "due-on-sale" clauses, which give us the right to declare a
loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the
borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the
mortgage and the loan is not repaid. However, we occasionally permit assumptions
of existing residential mortgage loans on a case-by-case basis.
At June 30, 1997, approximately $58.7 million, or 77.9% of our
portfolio of loans, consisted of one- to four-family residential loans.
Approximately $122,000, or .21% of total residential loans, were included in
non-performing assets as of that date. See "--Non-Performing and Problem
Assets."
Multi-Family Loans. At June 30, 1997, approximately $10.2 million, or
13.6% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of mortgage loans secured by
multi-family dwellings (those consisting of more than four units). Our
multi-family loans are generally written as one-year adjustable rate loans
indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury rate with an original term of up to 20
years. We write multi-family loans with maximum Loan-to-Value ratios of 80%. Our
largest multi-family loan as of June 30, 1997 had a balance of approximately
$1.1 million and was secured by 28 duplexes located in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
On the same date, none of our multi-family loans were included in non-performing
assets.
Multi-family loans, like commercial real estate loans, involve a
greater risk than do residential loans. See "-- Commercial Real Estate Loans"
below.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans are
secured by churches, office buildings, and other commercial properties. We
generally originate commercial real estate loans as one-year adjustable rate
loans indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury securities yield adjusted to a
constant maturity, and are written for maximum terms of 20 years with maximum
Loan-to-Value ratios of 80%. At June 30, 1997, our largest commercial loan had
an outstanding balance of $500,000 and was secured by a nursing home in
Richmond, Indiana. At June 30, 1997, approximately $3.5 million, or 4.7% of our
total loan portfolio, consisted of commercial real estate loans. On the same
date, there were no commercial real estate loans included in non-performing
assets.
Loans secured by commercial real estate generally are larger than one-
to four-family residential loans and involve a greater degree of risk.
Commercial real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single
borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Payments on these loans depend to a
large degree on results of operations and management of the properties and may
be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market
or the economy in general. Accordingly, the nature of the loans makes them more
difficult for management to monitor and evaluate.
Construction Loans. We offer construction loans with respect to
residential and commercial real estate and, in certain cases, to builders or
developers constructing such properties on a speculative basis (i.e., before the
builder/developer obtains a commitment from a buyer). We provide construction
loans only to borrowers who commit to permanent financing with us on the
finished project. At June 30, 1997, approximately $2.8 million, or 3.7% of our
total loan portfolio, consisted of construction loans. The largest construction
loan had a balance of $330,000 on June 30, 1997 and was secured by a
single-family residence in Crawfordsville. None of our construction loans were
included in non-performing assets on that date.
<PAGE>
Construction loans generally match the term of the construction
contract and are written as fixed-rate loans with interest calculated on the
amount disbursed under the loan and payable monthly. The maximum Loan-to-Value
Ratio for a construction loan is based upon the nature of the construction
project. For example, a construction loan for a one- to four-family residence
may be written with a maximum Loan-to-Value Ratio of 95%, while a construction
loan for a multi-family project may be written with a maximum Loan-to-Value
Ratio of 80%. Inspections are made prior to any disbursement under a
construction loan, and we do not normally charge commitment fees for
construction loans.
While providing us with a comparable, and in some cases higher, yield
than conventional mortgage loans, construction loans involve a higher level of
risk. For example, if a project is not completed and the borrower defaults, we
may have to hire another contractor to complete the project at a higher cost.
Also, a project may be completed, but may not be salable, resulting in the
borrower defaulting and our taking title to the project.
Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans, consisting of passbook loans and
home improvement loans, aggregated approximately $143,000 at June 30, 1997, or
.2% of our total loan portfolio. Our home improvement loans generally have a
fixed rate and a term of up to seven years. Our passbook loans are made up to
90% of the deposit account balance and, at June 30, 1997, accrued at a rate of
8.6%. This rate may change but will always be at least 3% over the underlying
passbook or certificate of deposit rate. Interest on loans secured by deposits
is paid semi-annually. At June 30, 1997, none of our consumer loans were
included in non-performing assets. See "-- Non-Performing and Problem Assets."
Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans. We historically have
originated our mortgage loans pursuant to our own underwriting standards which
do not conform with the standard criteria of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC") or the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). In
the event that we begin originating fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for
sale to the FHLMC in the secondary market, such loans will be originated in
accordance with the guidelines established by the FHLMC and will be sold
promptly after they are originated. We have no intention to originate loans for
sale to the FHLMC at this time, however.
We confine our loan origination activities primarily to Montgomery
County and the surrounding counties of Boone, Hendricks, Putnam, Parke and
Fountain. We have also originated several loans in Marion County. At June 30,
1997, we also had seven loans which we originated, totaling approximately
$740,000, secured by property located outside of Indiana. Our loan originations
are generated from referrals from existing customers, real estate brokers, and
newspaper and periodical advertising. Loan applications are underwritten and
processed at our office.
Our loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower's ability
to repay the loan, the viability of the loan and the adequacy of the value of
the property that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower's ability to
repay, we study the employment and credit history and information on the
historical and projected income and expenses of our mortgagors. All mortgage
loans are approved or ratified by our board of directors.
We generally require appraisals on all real property securing our loans
and require an attorney's opinion and a valid lien on the mortgaged real estate.
Appraisals for all real property securing mortgage loans are performed by
independent appraisers who are state-licensed. We require fire and extended
coverage insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan
and also require flood insurance to protect the property securing our interest
if the property is in a flood plain. We also generally require private mortgage
insurance for all residential mortgage loans with Loan-to-Value Ratios of
greater than 80%. We require escrow accounts for insurance premiums and taxes
for loans that require private mortgage insurance.
Our underwriting standards for consumer loans are intended to protect
against some of the risks inherent in making consumer loans. Borrower character,
paying habits and financial strengths are important considerations.
<PAGE>
We occasionally purchase participation interests in loans originated by
other financial institutions in order to diversify our portfolio, supplement
local loan demand and to obtain more favorable yields. The participations that
we purchase normally represent a portion of residential or commercial real
estate loans originated by other Indiana financial institutions, most of which
are secured by property located in Indiana. As of June 30, 1997, we held in our
loan portfolio participations in mortgage loans aggregating $6.7 million that we
purchased, all of which were serviced by others. Included within this amount
were participations in the aggregate amount of $746,000 which were secured by
property located outside of Indiana. The largest participation loan in our
portfolio at June 30, 1997 was a $500,000 interest in a loan secured by a
nursing home located in Richmond, Indiana.
The following table shows our loan origination and repayment activity
during the periods indicated:

Our residential loan originations during the year ended December 31,
1996 totaled $19.3 million, compared to $9.7 million and $12.4 million in the
years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Origination and Other Fees. We realize income from late charges,
checking account service charges, and fees for other miscellaneous services. We
currently charge a commitment fee of $200 on all loans and an additional $500
origination fee on construction loans. We also may charge points on a mortgage
loan as consideration for a lower interest rate, although we do so infrequently.
Late charges are generally assessed if payment is not received within a
specified number of days after it is due. The grace period depends on the
individual loan documents.
Non-Performing and Problem Assets
After a mortgage loan becomes 30 days past due, we deliver a
delinquency notice to the borrower. When loans are 30 to 60 days in default, we
send additional delinquency notices and make personal contact by telephone with
the borrower to establish acceptable repayment schedules. When loans become 60
days in default, we again contact the borrower, this time in person, to
establish acceptable repayment schedules. When a mortgage loan is 90 days
delinquent, we will have either entered into a workout plan with the borrower or
referred the matter to our attorney for collection. Management is authorized to
commence foreclosure proceedings for any loan upon making a determination that
it is prudent to do so.
<PAGE>
We review mortgage loans on a regular basis and place such loans on a
non-accrual status when they become 90 days delinquent. Generally, when loans
are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is written off, and
further income is recognized only to the extent received.
Non-performing Assets. At June 30, 1997, $203,000, or .24% of our total
assets, were non-performing (non-performing loans and non-accruing loans)
compared to $489,000, or .59%, of our total assets at December 31, 1996. At June
30, 1997, residential loans accounted for $122,000 of our non-performing assets.
We had real estate owned ("REO") properties in the amount of $81,000 as of June
30, 1997.
The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our
non-performing assets (non-performing loans, foreclosed real estate and troubled
debt restructurings) for the last three years. It is our policy that all earned
but uncollected interest on all loans be reviewed monthly to determine if any
portion thereof should be classified as uncollectible for any loan past due in
excess of 90 days. Delinquent loans that are 90 days or more past due are
considered non-performing assets.

Classified assets. Federal regulations and our Asset Classification
Policy provide for the classification of loans and other assets such as debt and
equity securities considered by the OTS to be of lesser quality as
"substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" assets. An asset is considered "substandard"
if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of
the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include
those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the institution will
sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as
"doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified
"substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make
"collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts,
conditions, and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets classified
as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that
their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve
is not warranted.
An insured institution is required to establish general allowances for
loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management for loans classified
substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. General allowances
represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent
risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances,
have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured
institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either to
establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the
asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's determination
as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation
allowances is subject to review by the OTS which can order the establishment of
additional general or specific loss allowances.
At June 30, 1997, the aggregate amount of our classified assets, and of
our general and specific loss allowances were as follows:
At June 30, 1997
(Unaudited)

Substandard assets............................................. $203
Doubtful assets................................................ ---
Loss assets.................................................... ---
Total classified assets.................................... $203
General loss allowances........................................ $198
Specific loss allowances....................................... ---
Total allowances........................................... $198
We regularly review our loan portfolio to determine whether any loans
require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. All of our
classified assets constitute non-performing assets.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained through the provision for
loan losses, which is charged to earnings. The allowance for loan losses is
determined in conjunction with our review and evaluation of current economic
conditions (including those of our lending area), changes in the character and
size of the loan portfolio, loan delinquencies (current status as well as past
and anticipated trends) and adequacy of collateral securing loan delinquencies,
historical and estimated net charge-offs, and other pertinent information
derived from a review of the loan portfolio. In our opinion, our allowance for
loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio
at June 30, 1997. However, there can be no assurance that regulators, when
reviewing our loan portfolio in the future, will not require increases in our
allowances for loan losses or that changes in economic conditions will not
adversely affect our loan portfolio.

Sources of Funds
General. Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds
for use in lending and investment activities. In addition to deposits, we derive
funds from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities, loan prepayments,
retained earnings, income on earning assets and borrowings. While scheduled loan
payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds,
deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing
interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition. Borrowings from the
FHLB of Indianapolis may be used in the short-term to compensate for reductions
in deposits or deposit inflows at less than projected levels.
Deposits. We attract deposits principally from within Montgomery County
through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including
fixed-rate passbook accounts, NOW accounts, variable rate money market accounts,
fixed-term certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts and savings
accounts. We do not actively solicit or advertise for deposits outside of
Montgomery County, and substantially all of our depositors are residents of that
county. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the
minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds remain on deposit and the
interest rate. We do not pay broker fees for any deposits we receive.
We establish the interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and
withdrawal penalties on a periodic basis. Determination of rates and terms are
predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid by
competitors, growth goals, and applicable regulations. We rely, in part, on
customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and
retain our deposits. We also closely price our deposits to the rates offered by
our competitors.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic
conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and
competition. The variety of deposit accounts that we offer has allowed us to be
competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in
consumer demand. We have become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in
deposit flows as customers have become more interest rate conscious. We manage
the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management and
profitability objectives. Based on our experience, we believe that our passbook,
NOW and MMDAs are relatively stable sources of deposits. However, the ability to
attract and maintain certificates of deposit, and the rates we pay on these
deposits, have been and will continue to be significantly affected by market
conditions.
An analysis of our deposit accounts by type, maturity, and rate at June
30, 1997, is as follows:

Total deposits at June 30, 1997 were approximately $62.1 million,
compared to approximately $54.9 million at December 31, 1994. Our deposit base
is somewhat dependent upon the manufacturing sector of Montgomery County's
economy. Although Montgomery County's manufacturing sector is relatively
diversified and not significantly dependent upon any industry, a loss of a
material portion of the manufacturing workforce could adversely affect our
ability to attract deposits due to the loss of personal income attributable to
the lost manufacturing jobs and the attendant loss in service industry jobs.
In the unlikely event of our liquidation after the Conversion, all
claims of creditors (including those of deposit account holders, to the extent
of their deposit balances) would be paid first followed by distribution of the
liquidation account to certain deposit account holders, with any assets
remaining thereafter distributed to the Holding Company as the sole shareholder
of Union Federal. See "The Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion --
Effect on Liquidation Rights."
Borrowings. We focus on generating high quality loans and then seek the
best source of funding from deposits, investments or borrowings. At June 30,
1997, we had borrowings in the amount of $5.9 million from the FHLB of
Indianapolis which bear fixed and variable interest rates and are due at various
dates through 2004. We are required to maintain eligible loans in our portfolio
of at least 170% of outstanding advances as collateral for advances from the
FHLB of Indianapolis. We do not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining advances
appropriate to meet our requirements in the future. We also owe Pedcor
Investments 1993-XVI,L.P. ("Pedcor") $1.2 million under a note payable that is
not included in the following table. See "--Service Corporation Subsidiary."
The following table presents certain information relating to our
borrowings at or for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and at or for
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

We own computer and data processing equipment which we use for
transaction processing, loan origination, and accounting. The net book value of
our electronic data processing equipment was approximately $4,000 at June 30,
1997.
We have also contracted for the data processing and reporting services
of On-Line Financial Services, Inc. in Oak Brook, Illinois. The cost of these
data processing services is approximately $5,000 per month.
We have also executed a Correspondent Services Agreement with the FHLB
of Indianapolis under which we receive item processing and other services for a
fee of approximately $1,100 per month.
We also receive income from leasing office space on the second floor of
our building and parking spaces located behind our building. Our gross income
from renting the office space was $27,000 for fiscal year ended December 31,
1996 and $14,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997. Our gross income
from renting the parking spaces was approximately $9,000 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996 and approximately $8,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1997.
Service Corporation Subsidiary
OTS regulations permit federal savings associations to invest in the
capital stock, obligations or other specified types of securities of
subsidiaries (referred to as "service corporations") and to make loans to such
subsidiaries and joint ventures in which such subsidiaries are participants in
an aggregate amount not exceeding 2% of the association's assets, plus an
additional 1% of assets if the amount over 2% is used for specified community or
inner-city development purposes. In addition, federal regulations permit
associations to make specified types of loans to such subsidiaries (other than
special purpose finance subsidiaries) in which the association owns more than
10% of the stock, in an aggregate amount not exceeding 50% of the association's
regulatory capital if the association's regulatory capital is in compliance with
applicable regulations. A savings association that acquires a non-savings
association subsidiary, or that elects to conduct a new activity within a
subsidiary, must give the FDIC and the OTS at least 30 days advance written
notice. The FDIC may, after consultation with the OTS, prohibit specified
activities if it determines such activities pose a serious threat to the SAIF.
Moreover, a savings association must deduct from capital, for purposes of
meeting the core capital, tangible capital and risk-based capital requirements,
its entire investment in and loans to a subsidiary engaged in activities not
permissible for a national bank (other than exclusively agency activities for
its customers or mortgage banking subsidiaries).
We currently own one subsidiary, UFS Service Corp. ("UFS"), whose sole
asset is its investment in Pedcor, which is an Indiana limited partnership that
was established to organize, build, own, operate and lease a 48-unit apartment
complex in Crawfordsville, Indiana known as Shady Knoll II Apartments (the
"Project"). We own the limited partner interest in Pedcor. The general partner
is Pedcor Investments, A Limited Liability Company. The Project, operated as a
multi-family, low- and moderate-income housing project, is completed and is
performing as planned. Because UFS engages exclusively in activities that are
permissible for a national bank, OTS regulations permit us to include our
investment in UFS in our calculation of regulatory capital.
A low- and moderate-income housing project qualifies for certain
federal income tax credits if (i) it is a residential rental property, (ii) the
units are used on a nontransient basis, and (iii) 20% or more of the units in
the project are occupied by tenants whose incomes are 50% or less of the area
median gross income, adjusted for family size, or alternatively, at least 40% of
the units in the project are occupied by tenants whose incomes are 60% of the
area median gross income. Qualified low income housing projects generally must
comply with these and other rules for fifteen years, beginning with the first
year the project qualified for the tax credit, or some or all of the tax credit
together with interest may be recaptured. The tax credit is subject to the
limitations on the use of general business credit, but no basis reduction is
required for any portion of the tax credit claimed.
<PAGE>
UFS committed to invest approximately $1.8 million in Pedcor at the
inception of the project in November, 1993. Through June 30, 1997, UFS had
invested cash of approximately $610,000 in Pedcor with seven additional annual
capital contributions remaining to be paid in January of each year through
January, 2004, totaling $1,200,000. The additional contributions will be used
for operating and other expenses of the partnership. In addition, Union Federal
borrowed funds from the FHLB of Indianapolis to advance to Pedcor, and Pedcor
currently owes Union Federal $873,000 pursuant to a promissory note payable in
installments through January 1, 2004 and bearing interest at an annual rate of
9%.
UFS transfers the tax credits resulting from Pedcor's operation of the
Project to us. These tax credits will be available to us through 2003. Although
we have reduced income tax expense by the full amount of the tax credit
available each year, we have not been able to fully utilize available tax
credits to reduce income taxes payable because we may not use tax credits that
would reduce our regular corporate tax liability below our alternative minimum
tax liability. We may carry forward unused tax credits for a period of fifteen
years and we believe that we will be able to utilize available tax credits
during the carry forward period. Additionally, Pedcor has incurred operating
losses in the early years of its operations primarily due to its accelerated
depreciation of assets. UFS has accounted for its investment in Pedcor on the
equity method and, accordingly, has recorded its share of these losses as
reductions to its investment in Pedcor, which at June 30, 1997, was $1.2
million. As of June 30, 1997, 92% of the units in the Project were occupied, and
all of the tenants met the income test required for the tax credits. UFS does
not engage in any activity or hold any assets other than its investment in
Pedcor.
The following summarizes UFS's equity in Pedcor's losses and tax
credits recognized in Union Federal's consolidated financial statements.

Employees
As of June 30, 1997, we employed 12 persons on a full-time basis. We do
not have any part-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a
collective bargaining group and we consider our employee relations to be good.
Employee benefits for our full-time employees include, among other
things, a Pentegra Group (formerly known as Financial Institutions Retirement
Fund) defined benefit pension plan, a noncontributory, multiple-employer
comprehensive pension plan (the"Pension Plan"), and hospitalization/major
medical insurance, dental and eye care insurance, long-term disability
insurance, life insurance, and participation in the Financial Institutions
Thrift Plan.
We consider our employee benefits to be competitive with those offered
by other financial institutions and major employers in our area. See "Executive
Compensation and Related Transactions of Union Federal."

Legal Proceedings
Although we are involved, from time to time, in various legal
proceedings in the normal course of business, there are no material legal
proceedings to which we presently are a party or to which any of our property is
subject.
MANAGEMENT OF UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP
Directors and Executive Officers of the Holding Company
The Board of Directors of the Holding Company consists of the same
individuals who serve as directors of Union Federal. The Holding Company's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws require that directors be divided into
three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. Each class of directors
serves for a three-year period, with approximately one-third of the directors
elected each year. The Holding Company's officers will be elected annually by
its Board of Directors and will serve at the Board's discretion. The terms of
the present directors expire at the Holding Company's first shareholders'
meeting, which is anticipated to be held in June, 1998. At that meeting, it is
anticipated that the directors will be nominated to serve for the following
terms: the terms of Joseph E. Timmons, Marvin L. Burkett and Phillip E. Grush
will expire in 1999, the terms of Harry A. Siamas and Samuel H. Hildebrand will
expire in 2000 and the terms of John M. Horner and Philip L. Boots will expire
in 2001. See "Management of Union Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Crawfordsville."
The Holding Company's Bylaws provide that directors must (1) be
residents of Montgomery County, Indiana, (2) have had a loan or deposit
relationship with us which they have maintained for twelve months prior to their
nomination to the Board, and (3) with respect to nonemployee directors, must
have served as a member of a civic or community organization based in Montgomery
County for at least 12 months during the five years prior to their nomination to
the Board. See "Restrictions on Acquisition of the Holding Company -- Provisions

cause (as defined in the contract) at any time or in certain specified events.
If we terminate Mr. Timmons' employment for other than cause or if Mr. Timmons
terminates his own employment for cause (as defined in the contract), Mr.
Timmons will receive his base compensation under the contract for an additional
three years if the termination follows a change of control in the Holding
Company, and for the balance of the contract if the termination does not follow
a change in control. In addition, during such period, Mr. Timmons will continue
to participate in our group insurance plans and retirement plans, or receive
comparable benefits. Moreover, within a period of three months after such
termination following a change of control, Mr. Timmons will have the right to
cause us to purchase any stock options he holds for a price equal to the fair
market value (as defined in the contract) of the shares subject to such options
minus their option price. If the payments provided for in the contract, together
<PAGE>
with any other payments made to Mr. Timmons by us, are deemed to be payments in
violation of the "golden parachute" rules of the Code, such payments will be
reduced to the largest amount which would not cause us to lose a tax deduction
for such payments under those rules. As of the date hereof, the cash
compensation which would be paid under the contract to Mr. Timmons if the
contract were terminated either after a change of control of the Holding
Company, without cause by us, or for cause by Mr. Timmons, would be $300,000.
For purposes of this employment contract, a change of control of the Holding
Company is generally an acquisition of control, as defined in regulations issued
under the Change in Bank Control Act and the Savings and Loan Holding Company
Act.
The employment contract protects our confidential business information
and protects us from competition by Mr. Timmons should he voluntarily terminate
his employment without cause or be terminated by us for cause.
Compensation of Directors
We pay our directors and director emeritus a monthly retainer of $250
plus $300 for each month in which they attend one or more meetings. Total fees
paid to our directors and advisory directors for the year ended December 31,
1996 were approximately $38,800. Beginning in July, 1997, we began paying our
directors a monthly retainer of $500 plus $250 for each monthly meeting
attended.
Directors of the Holding Company and UFS are not currently paid
directors' fees. The Holding Company may, if it believes it is necessary to
attract qualified directors or is otherwise beneficial to the Holding Company,
adopt a policy of paying directors' fees.
Benefits
Insurance Plans. Our officers and employees are covered by
non-contributory medical, dental, eyecare and disability insurance plans. This
coverage is provided pursuant to group plans sponsored by the Indiana League of
Savings Institutions Group Insurance Trust.
Thrift Plan. Our full-time salaried employees who are over 21 years of
age with at least one year of service may also participate in the Financial
Institutions Thrift Plan (the "Thrift Plan"), a contributory multiple employer
tax-exempt trust and savings plan. Participants may elect to make monthly
contributions up to 15% of their salary. We make a matching contribution of 50%
of the employee's contribution that does not exceed 5% of the employee's salary.
Contributions may be invested in an equity fund which invests in widely traded
stocks, a fixed income fund which invests in fixed income instruments including
group annuity contracts, an equity growth fund that invests in higher risk
stocks, a fund which invests in obligations issued by the U.S. government or
agencies and a fund which invests in treasury, agency, corporate and
asset/mortgage-backed securities. The normal distribution is a lump sum upon
termination of employment. Other payment options may be elected. During fiscal
1996, Mr. Timmons received employer contributions of $3,000 under the Thrift
Plan.
Pension Plan. Our full-time employees are included in the Pension Plan.
Separate actuarial valuations are not made for individual employer members of
the Pension Plan. Our employees are eligible to participate in the plan once
they have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service for us and
provided that the employee is expected to complete a mimimum of 1,000 hours of
service in the 12 consecutive months following his enrollment date. An
employee's pension benefits are 100% vested after five years of service.
The Pension Plan provides for monthly or lump sum retirement benefits
determined as a percentage of the employee's average salary (for the employee's
highest five consecutive years of salary) times his years of service. Salary
includes base annual salary as of each January 1, exclusive of overtime,
bonuses, fees and other special payments. Early retirement, disability, and
death benefits are also payable under the Pension Plan, depending upon the
participant's age and years of service. We expensed approximately $47,000 for
the Pension Plan during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
The estimated base annual retirement benefits presented on a
straight-line basis payable at normal retirement age (65) under the Pension Plan
to persons in specified salary and years of service classifications are as
follows (benefits noted in the table are not subject to any offset).

</TABLE>
Benefits are currently subject to maximum Code limitations of $120,000
per year. The years of service credited to Mr. Timmons under the Pension Plan as
of December 31, 1996 were 41.
Transactions With Certain Related Persons
We have followed a policy of offering to our directors, officers, and
employees real estate mortgage loans secured by their principal residence as
well as other loans. All of our loans to our directors, officers and employees
are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions, and do
not involve more than minimal risk of collectibility. Loans to directors,
executive officers and their associates totaled approximately $1.8 million, or
approximately 12.7% of consolidated retained earnings at June 30, 1997.
Current law authorizes us to make loans or extensions of credit to our
executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders on the same terms that
are available with respect to loans made to all of our employees. At present,
our loans to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and employees
are made on the same terms generally available to the public. We may in the
future, however, adopt a program under which we may waive loan application fees
and closing costs with respect to loans made to such persons. Loans made to a
director or executive officer in excess of the greater of $25,000 or 5% of our
capital and surplus (up to a maximum of $500,000) must be approved in advance by
a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. Our policy
regarding loans to directors and all employees meets the requirements of current
law.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust
The Holding Company has established for our eligible employees an ESOP
effective January 1, 1997, subject to our conversion to stock form. Employees
with at least one year of employment with us and who have attained age 21 are
eligible to participate. As part of the Conversion, the ESOP intends to borrow
funds from the Holding Company and use those funds to purchase a number of
shares equal to 8% of the Common Stock to be issued in the Conversion, up to a
maximum of 184,000 shares. Collateral for the loan will be the Common Stock
purchased by the ESOP. The loan will be repaid principally from our
discretionary contributions to the ESOP over a period of twenty-five years. It
is anticipated that the initial interest rate for the loan will be approximately
____%. Shares purchased by the ESOP will be held in a suspense account for
allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.
Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense
accounts in an amount proportional to the repayment of the ESOP loan will be
allocated among ESOP participants on the basis of compensation in the year of
allocation. Participants in the ESOP will receive credit for service prior to
<PAGE>
the effective date of the ESOP. Benefits generally become 100% vested after five
years of credited service. Prior to the completion of five years of credited
service, a participant who terminates employment for reasons other than death,
retirement, or disability will not receive any benefits under the ESOP.
Forfeitures will be reallocated among remaining participating employees upon the
earlier of the forfeiting participant's death or after the expiration of at
least three years from the date on which such participant's employment was
terminated. Benefits will be payable in the form of Common Stock or cash for
fractional shares upon death, retirement, early retirement, disability or
separation from service. Our contributions to the ESOP are not fixed, so
benefits payable under the ESOP cannot be estimated. In November 1993, the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "AICPA") issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, which requires us to record compensation
expense in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares released from
the suspense account.
In connection with the establishment of the ESOP, the Holding Company
will establish a committee of our employees to administer the ESOP. Home Federal
Savings Bank will serve as corporate trustee of the ESOP. The ESOP committee may
instruct the trustee regarding investment of funds contributed to the ESOP. The
ESOP trustee, subject to its fiduciary duty, must vote all allocated shares held
in the ESOP in accordance with the instructions of participating employees.
Under the ESOP, nondirected shares, and shares held in the suspense account,
will be voted in a manner calculated to most accurately reflect the instructions
it has received from participants regarding the allocated stock so long as such
vote is in accordance with the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
Stock Option Plan
At a meeting of the Holding Company's shareholders to be held at least
six months after the completion of the Conversion, the Board of Directors
intends to submit for shareholder approval the Stock Option Plan for directors
and officers of Union Federal and of the Holding Company. If approved by the
shareholders, Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to 10.0% of the shares
issued in the Conversion would be reserved for issuance by the Holding Company
upon the exercise of the stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan.
Assuming the issuance of 2,300,000 shares in the Conversion, an aggregate of
230,000 shares would be reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. No
options would be granted under the Stock Option Plan until the date on which
shareholder approval is received. At that time, it is anticipated that options
for the following number of shares will be granted to the following directors,
executive officers and employees of Union Federal and the Holding Company:
Percentage of Shares
Optionee Issued in Conversion
Joseph E. Timmons................................. 2.5%
Other Executive Officers as a group .............. 2.5
Directors ........................................ 3.0
Total......................................... 8.0%
It is anticipated that these options would be granted for terms of 10
years (in the case of incentive options) or 10 years and one day (in the case of
non-qualified options), and at an option price per share equal to the fair
market value of the shares on the date of grant of the stock options. If the
Stock Option Plan is adopted within one year following the Conversion, options
will become exercisable at a rate of 20% at the end of each twelve (12) months
of service with us after the date of grant, subject to early vesting in the
event of death or disability. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are
adjusted for capital changes such as stock splits and stock dividends. Unless
the Holding Company decides to call an earlier special meeting of shareholders,
the date of grant of these options is expected to be the date of the Holding
Company's annual meeting of shareholders to be held at least six months after
the Conversion.
<PAGE>
The Stock Option Plan would be administered by a Committee of
non-employee members of the Holding Company's Board of Directors. Options
granted under the Stock Option Plan to employees could be "incentive" stock
options designed to result in a beneficial tax treatment to the employee but no
tax deduction to the Holding Company. Non-qualified stock options could also be
granted under the Stock Option Plan, and will be granted to the non-employee
directors to receive grants of stock options. In the event an option recipient
terminated his or her employment or service as an employee or director, the
options would terminate during certain specified periods.
RRP
At a meeting of the Holding Company's shareholders to be held at least
six months after the completion of the Conversion, the Board of Directors also
intends to submit the RRP for shareholder approval. The RRP will provide our
directors and officers with an ownership interest in the Holding Company in a
manner designed to encourage them to continue their service with us. Union
Federal will contribute funds to the RRP from time to time to enable it to
acquire an aggregate amount of Common Stock equal to up to 4% of the shares of
Common Stock issued in the Conversion, either directly from the Holding Company
or on the open market. Four percent of the shares issued in the Conversion would
amount to 78,200 shares, 92,000 shares, 105,800 or 121,670 shares at the
minimum, midpoint, maximum and 15% above the maximum of the Estimated Valuation
Range, respectively. In the event that additional authorized but unissued shares
would be acquired by the RRP after the Conversion, the interests of existing
shareholders would be diluted. Our executive officers and directors will be
awarded Common Stock under the RRP without having to pay cash for the shares.
No awards under the RRP would be made until the date the RRP is
approved by the Holding Company's shareholders. At that time, it is anticipated
that awards of the following number of shares would be made to the following
directors and executive officers of the Holding Company and Union Federal:
Percentage of Shares
Recipient of Issued in Conversion to be
Awards Awarded Under RRP
Joseph E. Timmons............................... 1.0%
Other Executive Officers as a group ............ .8
Directors....................................... 1.2
Total....................................... 3.0%
Awards would be nontransferable and nonassignable, and during the
lifetime of the recipient could only be earned by and made to him or her. If the
RRP is adopted within one year following the Conversion, the shares which are
subject to an award would vest and be earned by the recipient at a rate of 20%
of the shares awarded at the end of each full twelve (12) months of service with
us after the date of grant of the award. Awards are adjusted for capital changes
such as stock dividends and stock splits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, awards
would be 100% vested upon termination of employment or service due to death or
disability. If employment or service were to terminate for other reasons, the
grantee would forfeit any nonvested award. If employment or service is
terminated for cause (as would be defined in the RRP), or if conduct would have
justified termination or removal for cause, shares not already delivered under
the RRP, whether or not vested, could be forfeited by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Holding Company.
When shares become vested and could actually be distributed in
accordance with the RRP, the participants would also receive amounts equal to
accrued dividends and other earnings or distributions payable with respect
thereto. When shares become vested under the RRP, the participant will recognize
income equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock earned, determined as
of the date of vesting, unless the recipient makes an election under ss. 83(b)
of the Code to be taxed earlier. The amount of income recognized by the
participant would be a deductible expense for tax purposes for the Holding
Company. Shares not yet vested under the RRP will be voted by the Trustee of the
RRP, taking into account the best interests of the recipients of the RRP awards.
<PAGE>
REGULATION
General
As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings association, we are
subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. For example, we must
obtain OTS approval before we may engage in certain activities and must file
reports with the OTS regarding our activities and financial condition. The OTS
periodically examines our books and records and, in conjunction with the FDIC in
certain situations, has examination and enforcement powers. This supervision and
regulation are intended primarily for the protection of depositors and federal
deposit insurance funds. Our semi- annual assessment owed to the OTS, which is
based upon a specified percentage of assets, is approximately $13,875.
We are also subject to federal and state regulation as to such matters
as loans to officers, directors, or principal shareholders, required reserves,
limitations as to the nature and amount of our loans and investments, regulatory
approval of any merger or consolidation, issuance or retirements of our
securities, and limitations upon other aspects of banking operations. In
addition, our activities and operations are subject to a number of additional
detailed, complex and sometimes overlapping federal and state laws and
regulations. These include state usury and consumer credit laws, state laws
relating to fiduciaries, the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the
Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Fair Credit Reporting
Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, anti-redlining legislation and antitrust
laws.
The United States Congress is considering legislation that would
require all federal savings associations, such as Union Federal, to either
convert to a national bank or a state-chartered bank by a specified date to be
determined. In addition, under the legislation, the Holding Company likely would
not be regulated as a savings and loan holding company but rather as a bank
holding company. This proposed legislation would abolish the OTS and transfer
its functions among the other federal banking regulators. Certain aspects of the
legislation remain to be resolved and, therefore, no assurance can be given as
to whether or in what form the legislation will be enacted or its effect on the
Holding Company and Union Federal.
Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulation
As the holding company for Union Federal, the Holding Company will be
regulated as a "non-diversified savings and loan holding company" within the
meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended ("HOLA"), and subject
to regulatory oversight of the Director of the OTS. As such, the Holding Company
is registered with the OTS and thereby subject to OTS regulations, examinations,
supervision and reporting requirements. As a subsidiary of a savings and loan
holding company, we are subject to certain restrictions in our dealings with the
Holding Company and with other companies affiliated with the Holding Company.
In general, the HOLA prohibits a savings and loan holding company,
without prior approval of the Director of the OTS, from acquiring control of
another savings association or savings and loan holding company or retaining
more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings association or of another holding
company which is not a subsidiary. The HOLA also restricts the ability of a
director or officer of the Holding Company, or any person who owns more than 25%
of the Holding Company's stock, from acquiring control of another savings
association or savings and loan holding company without obtaining the prior
approval of the Director of the OTS.
The Holding Company's Board of Directors presently intends to operate
the Holding Company as a unitary savings and loan holding company. There are
generally no restrictions on the permissible business activities of a unitary
savings and loan holding company.
Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business activities
of unitary savings and loan holding companies, if the savings association
subsidiary of such a holding company fails to meet the Qualified Thrift Lender
("QTL") test, then such unitary holding company would become subject to the
activities restrictions applicable to multiple holding companies. (Additional
restrictions on securing advances from the FHLB also apply.) See "--Qualified
Thrift Lender." At June 30, 1997, our asset composition was in excess of that
required to qualify us as a Qualified Thrift Lender.
<PAGE>
If the Holding Company were to acquire control of another savings
association other than through a merger or other business combination with Union
Federal, the Holding Company would thereupon become a multiple savings and loan
holding company. Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to
approve emergency thrift acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings
association meets the QTL test, the activities of the Holding Company and any of
its subsidiaries (other than Union Federal or other subsidiary savings
associations) would thereafter be subject to further restrictions. The HOLA
provides that, among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company
or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings association shall commence or
continue for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan
holding company or subsidiary thereof, any business activity other than (i)
furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings
association, (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business, (iii)
holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary
savings association, (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a
subsidiary savings association, (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust, (vi)
those activities previously directly authorized by the FSLIC by regulation as of
March 5, 1987, to be engaged in by multiple holding companies, or (vii) those
activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") as permissible
for bank holding companies, unless the Director of the OTS by regulation
prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies.
Those activities described in (vii) above must also be approved by the Director
of the OTS before a multiple holding company may engage in such activities.
The Director of the OTS may also approve acquisitions resulting in the
formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings
associations in more than one state, if the multiple savings and loan holding
company involved controls a savings association which operated a home or branch
office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5, 1987, or if
the laws of the state in which the association to be acquired is located
specifically permit associations to be acquired by state-chartered associations
or savings and loan holding companies located in the state where the acquiring
entity is located (or by a holding company that controls such state-chartered
savings associations). Also, the Director of the OTS may approve an acquisition
resulting in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings
associations in more than one state in the case of certain emergency thrift
acquisitions.
Indiana law permits federal and state savings association holding
companies with their home offices located outside of Indiana to acquire savings
associations whose home offices are located in Indiana and savings association
holding companies with their principal place of business in Indiana ("Indiana
Savings Association Holding Companies") upon receipt of approval by the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions. Moreover, Indiana Savings Association
Holding Companies may acquire savings associations with their home offices
located outside of Indiana and savings association holding companies with their
principal place of business located outside of Indiana upon receipt of approval
by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions.
No subsidiary savings association of a savings and loan holding company
may declare or pay a dividend on its permanent or nonwithdrawable stock unless
it first gives the Director of the OTS 30 days advance notice of such
declaration and payment. Any dividend declared during such period or without
giving notice shall be invalid.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
We are a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis, which is one of twelve
regional FHLBs. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members
within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from funds deposited by
savings associations and proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated
obligations of the FHLB system. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in
accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of
the FHLB. All FHLB advances must be fully secured by sufficient collateral as
determined by the FHLB. The Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"), an
independent agency, controls the FHLB System, including the FHLB of
Indianapolis.
<PAGE>
As a member, we are required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB
of Indianapolis in an amount equal to at least 1% of our aggregate unpaid
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, or similar obligations at
the beginning of each year. At June 30, 1997, our investment in stock of the
FHLB of Indianapolis was $708,000. The FHLB imposes various limitations on
advances such as limiting the amount of certain types of real estate-related
collateral to 30% of a member's capital and limiting total advances to a member.
Interest rates charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the cost of
funds to the FHLB of Indianapolis and the purpose of the borrowing.
The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled
savings associations and to contribute to affordable housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have
adversely affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, dividends paid by
the FHLB of Indianapolis to us totaled approximately $45,000, for an annual rate
of 7.8%.
Insurance of Deposits
Deposit Insurance. The FDIC is an independent federal agency that
insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of banks and thrifts
and safeguards the safety and soundness of the banking and thrift industries.
The FDIC administers two separate insurance funds, the BIF for commercial banks
and state savings banks and the SAIF for savings associations such as Union
Federal and banks that have acquired deposits from savings associations. The
FDIC is required to maintain designated levels of reserves in each fund. As of
September 30, 1996, the reserves of the SAIF were below the level required by
law, primarily because a significant portion of the assessments paid into the
SAIF have been used to pay the cost of prior thrift failures, while the reserves
of the BIF met the level required by law in May, 1995. However, on September 30,
1996, provisions designed to recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the premium
disparity between the BIF and SAIF were signed into law. See "-- Assessments"
below.
Assessments. The FDIC is authorized to establish separate annual
assessment rates for deposit insurance for members of the BIF and members of the
SAIF. The FDIC may increase assessment rates for either fund if necessary to
restore the fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits to the target level
within a reasonable time and may decrease these rates if the target level has
been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment system for both SAIF
and BIF members. Under this system, assessments vary depending on the risk the
institution poses to its deposit insurance fund. An institution's risk level is
determined based on its capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory
concern about the institution.
On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed into law legislation
which included provisions designed to recapitalize the SAIF and eliminate the
significant premium disparity between the BIF and the SAIF. Under the new law,
we were charged a one-time special assessment equal to $.657 per $100 in
assessable deposits at March 31, 1995. We recognized this one-time assessment as
a non-recurring operating expense of $362,000 ($219,000 after tax) during the
three-month period ending September 30, 1996, and we paid this assessment on
November 27, 1996. The assessment was fully deductible for both federal and
state income tax purposes. Beginning January 1, 1997, our annual deposit
insurance premium was reduced from .23% to .0644% of total assessable deposits.
BIF institutions pay lower assessments than comparable SAIF institutions because
BIF institutions pay only 20% of the rate paid by SAIF institutions on their
deposits with respect to obligations issued by the federally-chartered
corporation which provided some of the financing to resolve the thrift crisis in
the 1980's ("FICO"). The 1996 law also provides for the merger of the SAIF and
the BIF by 1999, but not until such time as bank and thrift charters are
combined. Until the charters are combined, savings associations with SAIF
deposits may not transfer deposits into the BIF system without paying various
exit and entrance fees, and SAIF institutions will continue to pay higher FICO
assessments. Such exit and entrance fees need not be paid if a SAIF institution
converts to a bank charter or merges with a bank, as long as the resulting bank
continues to pay applicable insurance assessments to the SAIF, and as long as
certain other conditions are met.
<PAGE>
Savings Association Regulatory Capital
Currently, savings associations are subject to three separate minimum
capital-to-assets requirements: (i) a leverage limit, (ii) a tangible capital
requirement, and (iii) a risk-based capital requirement. The leverage limit
requires that savings associations maintain "core capital" of at least 3% of
total assets. Core capital is generally defined as common shareholders' equity
(including retained income), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related
surplus, certain minority equity interests in subsidiaries, qualifying
supervisory goodwill, purchased mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit
card relationships (subject to certain limits) less nonqualifying intangibles.
Under the tangible capital requirement, a savings association must maintain
tangible capital (core capital less all intangible assets except purchased
mortgage servicing rights which may be included after making the above-noted
adjustment in an amount up to 100% of tangible capital) of at least 1.5% of
total assets. Under the risk-based capital requirements, a minimum amount of
capital must be maintained by a savings association to account for the relative
risks inherent in the type and amount of assets held by the savings association.
The risk-based capital requirement requires a savings association to maintain
capital (defined generally for these purposes as core capital plus general
valuation allowances and permanent or maturing capital instruments such as
preferred stock and subordinated debt less assets required to be deducted) equal
to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Assets are ranked as to risk in one of four
categories (0-100%). A credit risk-free asset, such as cash, requires no
risk-based capital, while an asset with a significant credit risk, such as a
non-accrual loan, requires a risk factor of 100%. Moreover, a savings
association must deduct from capital, for purposes of meeting the core capital,
tangible capital and risk-based capital requirements, its entire investment in
and loans to a subsidiary engaged in activities not permissible for a national
bank (other than exclusively agency activities for its customers or mortgage
banking subsidiaries). At June 30, 1997, we were in compliance with all capital
requirements imposed by law.
The OTS has promulgated a rule which sets forth the methodology for
calculating an interest rate risk component to be used by savings associations
in calculating regulatory capital. The OTS has delayed the implementation of
this rule, however. The rule requires savings associations with "above normal"
interest rate risk (institutions whose portfolio equity would decline in value
by more than 2% of assets in the event of a hypothetical 200-basis-point move in
interest rates) to maintain additional capital for interest rate risk under the
risk-based capital framework. If the OTS were to implement this regulation, we
would be exempt from its provisions because we have less than $300 million in
assets and our risk-based capital ratio exceeds 12%. We nevertheless measure our
interest rate risk in conformity with the OTS regulation and, as of June 30,
1997, we would have been required to deduct $1.05 million from our total capital
available to calculate our risk-based capital requirement. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association -- Asset/Liability Management."
If an association is not in compliance with the capital requirements,
the OTS is required to prohibit asset growth and to impose a capital directive
that may restrict, among other things, the payment of dividends and officers'
compensation. In addition, the OTS and the FDIC generally are authorized to take
enforcement actions against a savings association that fails to meet its capital
requirements. These actions may include restricting the operations activities of
the association, imposing a capital directive, cease and desist order, or civil
money penalties, or imposing harsher measures such as appointing a receiver or
conservator or forcing the association to merge into another institution.
Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FedICIA") requires, among other things, that federal bank regulatory
authorities take "prompt corrective action" with respect to institutions that do
not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, FedICIA establishes
five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. At June 30,
<PAGE>
1997, we were categorized as "well capitalized," meaning that our total
risk-based capital ratio exceeded 10%, our Tier I risk-based capital ratio
exceeded 6%, our leverage ratio exceeded 5%, and we were not subject to a
regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital
level for any capital measure.
The FDIC may order savings associations which have insufficient capital
to take corrective actions. For example, a savings association which is
categorized as "undercapitalized" would be subject to growth limitations and
would be required to submit a capital restoration plan, and a holding company
that controls such a savings association would be required to guarantee that the
savings association complies with the restoration plan. "Significantly
undercapitalized" savings associations would be subject to additional
restrictions. Savings associations deemed by the FDIC to be "critically
undercapitalized" would be subject to the appointment of a receiver or
conservator.
Dividend Limitations
An OTS regulation imposes limitations upon all "capital distributions"
by savings associations, including cash dividends, payments by an association to
repurchase or otherwise acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another
institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against
capital. The regulation establishes a three-tiered system of regulation, with
the greatest flexibility being afforded to well-capitalized associations. A
savings association which has total capital (immediately prior to and after
giving effect to the capital distribution) that is at least equal to its fully
phased-in capital requirements would be a Tier 1 institution ("Tier 1
Institution"). An association that has total capital at least equal to its
minimum capital requirements, but less than its fully phased-in capital
requirements, would be a Tier 2 institution ("Tier 2 Institution"). An
institution having total capital that is less than its minimum capital
requirements would be a Tier 3 institution ("Tier 3 Institution"). However, an
institution which otherwise qualifies as a Tier 1 Institution may be designated
by the OTS as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Institution if the OTS determines that the
institution is "in need of more than normal supervision." We are currently a
Tier 1 Institution.
A Tier 1 Institution may, after prior notice but without the approval
of the OTS, make capital distributions during a calendar year up to the greater
of (a) 100% of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus capital ratio" at the beginning of
the calendar year (the smallest excess over its capital requirements), or (b)
75% of its net income over the most recent four-quarter period. Any additional
amount of capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval.
Accordingly, at June 30, 1997, we had available approximately $5,970,000 for
distribution, without consideration of any capital infusion from the Conversion
and without consideration of the restrictions on our capital distributions as a
result of the establishment of a liquidation account in connection with the
Conversion. See "The Conversion -- Effect on Liquidation Rights."
The OTS has proposed revisions to these regulations which would permit
savings associations to declare dividends in amounts which would assure that
they remain adequately capitalized following the dividend declaration. Savings
associations in a holding company system which are rated Camel 1 or 2 and which
are not in troubled condition would need to file a prior notice with the OTS
concerning such dividend declaration.
Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, we will establish a liquidation
account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible
Account Holders. See "The Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion." We
will not be permitted to pay dividends to the Holding Company if our net worth
would be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account. We must
also must file a notice with the OTS 30 days before declaring a dividend to the
Holding Company.
<PAGE>
Limitations on Rates Paid for Deposits
Regulations promulgated by the FDIC pursuant to FedICIA place
limitations on the ability of insured depository institutions to accept, renew
or roll over deposits by offering rates of interest which are significantly
higher than the prevailing rates of interest on deposits offered by other
insured depository institutions having the same type of charter in the
institution's normal market area. Under these regulations, "well-capitalized"
depository institutions may accept, renew or roll such deposits over without
restriction, "adequately capitalized" depository institutions may accept, renew
or roll such deposits over with a waiver from the FDIC (subject to certain
restrictions on payments of rates) and "undercapitalized" depository
institutions may not accept, renew or roll such deposits over. The regulations
contemplate that the definitions of "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized"
and "undercapitalized" will be the same as the definition adopted by the
agencies to implement the corrective action provisions of FedICIA. We do not
believe that these regulations will have a materially adverse effect on our
current operations.
Safety and Soundness Standards
On February 2, 1995, the federal banking agencies adopted final safety
and soundness standards for all insured depository institutions. The standards,
which were issued in the form of guidelines rather than regulations, relate to
internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
underwriting and documentation, compensation and interest rate exposure. In
general, the standards are designed to assist the federal banking agencies in
identifying and addressing problems at insured depository institutions before
capital becomes impaired. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the
appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit a
compliance plan. Failure to submit a compliance plan may result in enforcement
proceedings. On August 27, 1996, the federal banking agencies added asset
quality and earning standards to the safety and soundness guidelines.
Real Estate Lending Standards
OTS regulations require savings associations to establish and maintain
written internal real estate lending policies. Each association's lending
policies must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices and
appropriate to the size of the association and the nature and scope of its
operations. The policies must establish loan portfolio diversification
standards; establish prudent underwriting standards, including loan-to-value
limits, that are clear and measurable; establish loan administration procedures
for the association's real estate portfolio; and establish documentation,
approval, and reporting requirements to monitor compliance with the
association's real estate lending policies. The association's written real
estate lending policies must be reviewed and approved by the association's Board
of Directors at least annually. Further, each association is expected to monitor
conditions in its real estate market to ensure that its lending policies
continue to be appropriate for current market conditions.
Loans to One Borrower
Under OTS regulations, we may not make a loan or extend credit to a
single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of our unimpaired capital
and surplus. Additional amounts may be lent, not in excess of 10% of unimpaired
capital and surplus, if such loans or extensions of credit are fully secured by
readily marketable collateral, including certain debt and equity securities but
not including real estate. In some cases, a savings association may lend up to
30 percent of unimpaired capital and surplus to one borrower for purposes of
developing domestic residential housing, provided that the association meets its
regulatory capital requirements and the OTS authorizes the association to use
this expanded lending authority. At June 30, 1997, we did not have any loans or
extensions of credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of our
lending limits. We do not believe that the loans-to-one-borrower limits will
have a significant impact on our business operations or earnings following the
Conversion.
<PAGE>
Qualified Thrift Lender
Savings associations must meet a QTL test. If we maintain an
appropriate level of qualified thrift investments ("QTIs") (primarily
residential mortgages and related investments, including certain
mortgage-related securities) and otherwise qualify as a QTL, we will continue to
enjoy full borrowing privileges from the FHLB of Indianapolis. The required
percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio assets (defined as all assets minus
intangible assets, property used by the association in conducting its business
and liquid assets equal to 10% of total assets). Certain assets are subject to a
percentage limitation of 20% of portfolio assets. In addition, savings
associations may include shares of stock of the FHLBs, FNMA, and FHLMC as QTIs.
Compliance with the QTL test is determined on a monthly basis in nine out of
every twelve months. As of June 30, 1997, we were in compliance with our QTL
requirement, with approximately 98.7% of our assets invested in QTIs.
A savings association which fails to meet the QTL test must either
convert to a bank (but its deposit insurance assessments and payments will be
those of and paid to the SAIF) or be subject to the following penalties: (i) it
may not enter into any new activity except for those permissible for a national
bank and for a savings association; (ii) its branching activities shall be
limited to those of a national bank; (iii) it shall not be eligible for any new
FHLB advances; and (iv) it shall be bound by regulations applicable to national
banks respecting payment of dividends. Three years after failing the QTL test
the association must (i) dispose of any investment or activity not permissible
for a national bank and a savings association and (ii) repay all outstanding
FHLB advances. If such a savings association is controlled by a savings and loan
holding company, then such holding company must, within a prescribed time
period, become registered as a bank holding company and become subject to all
rules and regulations applicable to bank holding companies (including
restrictions as to the scope of permissible business activities).
Acquisitions or Dispositions and Branching
The Bank Holding Company Act specifically authorizes a bank holding
company, upon receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals, to acquire control of
any savings association or holding company thereof wherever located. Similarly,
a savings and loan holding company may acquire control of a bank. Moreover,
federal savings associations may acquire or be acquired by any insured
depository institution. Regulations promulgated by the FRB restrict the
branching authority of savings associations acquired by bank holding companies.
Savings associations acquired by bank holding companies may be converted to
banks if they continue to pay SAIF premiums, but as such they become subject to
branching and activity restrictions applicable to banks.
Subject to certain exceptions, commonly-controlled banks and savings
associations must reimburse the FDIC for any losses suffered in connection with
a failed bank or savings association affiliate. Institutions are commonly
controlled if one is owned by another or if both are owned by the same holding
company. Such claims by the FDIC under this provision are subordinate to claims
of depositors, secured creditors, and holders of subordinated debt, other than
affiliates.
The OTS has adopted regulations which permit nationwide branching to
the extent permitted by federal statute. Federal statutes permit federal savings
associations to branch outside of their home state if the association meets the
domestic building and loan test in ss.7701(a)(19) of the Code or the asset
composition test of ss.7701(c) of the Code. Branching that would result in the
formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings
associations in more than one state is permitted if the law of the state in
which the savings association to be acquired is located specifically authorizes
acquisitions of its state-chartered associations by state-chartered associations
or their holding companies in the state where the acquiring association or
holding company is located. Moreover, Indiana banks and savings associations are
permitted to acquire other Indiana banks and savings associations and to
establish branches throughout Indiana.
Finally, The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency
Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") permits bank holding companies to acquire
banks in other states and, with state consent and subject to certain
<PAGE>
limitations, allows banks to acquire out-of-state branches either through merger
or de novo expansion. The State of Indiana enacted legislation establishing
interstate branching provisions for Indiana state-chartered banks consistent
with those established by the Riegle-Neal Act (the "Indiana Branching Law"). The
Indiana Branching Law authorizes Indiana banks to branch interstate by merger or
de novo expansion, provided that such transactions are not permitted to
out-of-state banks unless the laws of their home states permit Indiana banks to
merge or establish de novo banks on a reciprocial basis. The Indiana Branching
Law became effective March 15, 1996.
Transactions with Affiliates
We are subject to Sections 22(h), 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act, which restrict financial transactions between banks and affiliated
companies. The statute limits credit transactions between a bank or savings
association and its executive officers and its affiliates, prescribes terms and
conditions for bank affiliate transactions deemed to be consistent with safe and
sound banking practices, and restricts the types of collateral security
permitted in connection with a bank's extension of credit to an affiliate.
Federal Securities Law
The shares of Common Stock of the Holding Company will be registered
with the SEC under the 1934 Act. The Holding Company will be subject to the
information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other
requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules of the SEC thereunder. After three
years following our conversion to stock form, if the Holding Company has fewer
than 300 shareholders, it may deregister its shares under the 1934 Act and cease
to be subject to the foregoing requirements.
Shares of Common Stock held by persons who are affiliates of the
Holding Company may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance
with the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. If the Holding
Company meets the current public information requirements under Rule 144, each
affiliate of the Holding Company who complies with the other conditions of Rule
144 (including those that require the affiliate's sale to be aggregated with
those of certain other persons) would be able to sell in the public market,
without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month
period, the greater of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares of the Holding Company
or (ii) the average weekly volume of trading in such shares during the preceding
four calendar weeks.
Community Reinvestment Act Matters
Federal law requires that ratings of depository institutions under the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") be disclosed. The disclosure includes
both a four-unit descriptive rating -- outstanding, satisfactory, needs to
improve, and substantial noncompliance -- and a written evaluation of an
institution's performance. Each FHLB is required to establish standards of
community investment or service that its members must maintain for continued
access to long-term advances from the FHLBs. The standards take into account a
member's performance under the CRA and its record of lending to first-time home
buyers. The OTS has designated our record of meeting community credit needs as
satisfactory.
TAXATION
Federal Taxation
Historically, savings associations, such as Union Federal, have been
permitted to compute bad debt deductions using either the bank experience method
or the percentage of taxable income method. However, for years beginning after
December 31, 1995, no savings association may use the percentage of taxable
income method of computing its allowable bad debt deduction for tax purposes.
Instead, all savings associations are required to compute their allowable
deduction using the experience method. As a result of the repeal of the
percentage of taxable income method, reserves taken after 1987 using the
percentage of taxable income method generally must be included in future taxable
income over a six-year period, although a two-year delay may be permitted for
associations meeting a residential mortgage loan origination test. Union Federal
<PAGE>
will recapture approximately $55,000 over a six-year period that began with the
year ended December 31, 1996. In addition, the pre-1988 reserve, for which no
deferred taxes have been recorded, need not be recaptured into income unless (i)
the savings association no longer qualifies as a bank under the Code, or (ii)
the savings association pays out excess dividends or distributions.
Depending on the composition of its items of income and expense, a
savings association may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. A savings
association must pay an alternative minimum tax on the amount (if any) by which
20% of alternative minimum taxable income ("AMTI"), as reduced by an exemption
varying with AMTI, exceeds the regular tax due. AMTI equals regular taxable
income increased or decreased by certain tax preferences and adjustments,
including depreciation deductions in excess of that allowable for alternative
minimum tax purposes, tax-exempt interest on most private activity bonds issued
after August 7, 1986 (reduced by any related interest expense disallowed for
regular tax purposes), the amount of the bad debt reserve deduction claimed in
excess of the deduction based on the experience method and 75% of the excess of
adjusted current earnings over AMTI (before this adjustment and before any
alternative tax net operating loss). AMTI may be reduced only up to 90% by net
operating loss carryovers, but alternative minimum tax paid can be credited
against regular tax due in later years.
For federal income tax purposes, we have been reporting our income and
expenses on the accrual method of accounting. Our federal income tax returns
have not been audited in recent years.
State Taxation
We are subject to Indiana's Financial Institutions Tax ("FIT"), which
is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on "adjusted gross income." "Adjusted gross
income," for purposes of FIT, begins with taxable income as defined by Section
63 of the Code and, thus, incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it
affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income is then
adjusted by several Indiana modifications. Other applicable state taxes include
generally applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.
Our state income tax returns have not been audited in recent years.

Conversion, see "The Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion -- Tax
Effects."
RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITION OF THE HOLDING COMPANY
General
Although the Boards of Directors of Union Federal and the Holding
Company are not aware of any effort that might be made to obtain control of the
Holding Company after the Conversion, the Boards of Directors believe that it is
appropriate to include certain provisions in the Holding Company's Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") to protect the interests of the Holding Company
and its shareholders from unsolicited changes in the control of the Holding
Company in circumstances that the Board of Directors of the Holding Company
concludes will not be in the best interests of Union Federal, the Holding
Company or the Holding Company's shareholders.
Although the Holding Company's Board of Directors believes that the
restrictions on acquisition described below are beneficial to shareholders, the
provisions may have the effect of rendering the Holding Company less attractive
to potential acquirors, thereby discouraging future takeover attempts which
would not be approved by the Board of Directors but which certain shareholders
might deem to be in their best interest or pursuant to which shareholders might
receive a substantial premium for their shares over then current market prices.
These provisions will also render the removal of the incumbent Board of
Directors and of management more difficult. The Board of Directors has, however,
concluded that the potential benefits of these restrictive provisions outweigh
the possible disadvantages.
The following general discussion contains a summary of the material
provisions of the Articles, the Holding Company's Code of By-Laws (the
"By-Laws"), and certain other regulatory provisions, that may be deemed to have
<PAGE>
an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in the control of the
Holding Company. The following description of certain of these provisions is
general and not necessarily complete, and with respect to provisions contained
in the Articles and By-Laws, reference should be made in each case to the
document in question, each of which is part of our application for approval of
the Conversion or the Holding Company's Registration Statement filed with the
SEC. See "Additional Information."
Provisions of the Holding Company's Articles and By-Laws
Directors. Certain provisions in the Articles and By-Laws will impede
changes in majority control of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company.
The Articles provide that the Board of Directors of the Holding Company will be
divided into three classes, with directors in each class elected for three-year
staggered terms. Therefore, it would take two annual elections to replace a
majority of the Holding Company's Board. Moreover, the Holding Company's By-laws
provide that directors of the Holding Company must be residents of Montgomery
County, Indiana, must have had a loan or deposit relationship with us which they
have maintained for twelve (12) months prior to their nomination to the Board,
and, if nonemployee directors, must have served as a member of a civic or
community organization based in Montgomery County, Indiana for at least twelve
(12) months during the five years prior to their nomination to the Board (or in
the case of existing directors, prior to September 11, 1997). Therefore, the
ability of a shareholder to attract qualified nominees to oppose persons
nominated by the Board of Directors may be limited.
The Articles also provide that the size of the Board of Directors shall
range between five and fifteen directors, with the exact number of directors to
be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a
resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors of the Holding
Company.
The Articles provide that any vacancy occurring in the Board of
Directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of
directors, shall be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term only by a
majority vote of the directors then in office. Finally, the By-Laws impose
certain notice and information requirements in connection with the nomination by
shareholders of candidates for election to the Board of Directors or the
proposal by shareholders of business to be acted upon at an annual meeting of
shareholders.
The Articles provide that a director or the entire Board of Directors
may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of at least 80%
of the shares eligible to vote generally in the election of directors. Removal
for "cause" is limited to the grounds for termination in the OTS regulation
relating to employment contracts of federally-insured savings associations.
Restrictions on Call of Special Meetings. The Articles provide that a
special meeting of shareholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board
of the Holding Company or pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the
total number of directors of the Holding Company. Shareholders are not
authorized to call a special meeting.
No Cumulative Voting. The Articles provide that there shall be no
cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
Authorization of Preferred Stock. The Articles authorize 2,000,000
shares of preferred stock, without par value. The Holding Company is authorized
to issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series subject to
applicable provisions of law, and the Board of Directors is authorized to fix
the designations, powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and
other special rights of such shares, including voting rights (if any and which
could be as a separate class) and conversion rights. In the event of a proposed
merger, tender offer or other attempt to gain control of the Holding Company not
approved by the Board of Directors, it might be possible for the Board of
Directors to authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock with rights
and preferences that would impede the completion of such a transaction. An
effect of the possible issuance of preferred stock, therefore, may be to deter a
future takeover attempt. The Board of Directors has no present plans or
understandings for the issuance of any preferred stock and does not intend to
issue any preferred stock except on terms which the Board of Directors deems to
be in the best interests of the Holding Company and its shareholders.
<PAGE>
Limitations on 10% Shareholders. The Articles provide that: (i) no
person shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial
ownership of more than 10% of any class of equity security of the Holding
Company (provided that such limitation shall not apply to the acquisition of
equity securities by any one or more tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans
maintained by the Holding Company, if the plan or plans beneficially own no more
than 25% of any class of such equity security of the Holding Company); and that
(ii) shares beneficially owned in violation of the stock ownership restriction
described above shall not be entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any
person or counted as voting stock in connection with any matter submitted to a
vote of shareholders. For these purposes, a person (including management) who
has obtained the right to vote shares of the Common Stock pursuant to revocable
proxies shall not be deemed to be the "beneficial owner" of those shares if that
person is not otherwise deemed to be a beneficial owner of those shares.
Evaluation of Offers. The Articles of the Holding Company provide that
the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, when determining to take or
refrain from taking corporate action on any matter, including making or
declining to make any recommendation to the Holding Company's shareholders, may,
in connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the
best interest of the Holding Company, Union Federal and the shareholders of the
Holding Company, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including,
without limitation, the social and economic effects of acceptance of such offer
on the Holding Company's customers and Union Federal's present and future
account holders, borrowers, employees and suppliers; the effect on the
communities in which the Holding Company and Union Federal operate or are
located; and the effect on the ability of the Holding Company to fulfill the
objectives of a holding company and of us or future financial institution
subsidiaries to fulfill the objectives of a financial institution under
applicable statutes and regulations. The Articles of the Holding Company also
authorize the Board of Directors to take certain actions to encourage a person
to negotiate for a change of control of the Holding Company or to oppose such a
transaction deemed undesirable by the Board of Directors including the adoption
of so-called shareholder rights plans. By having these standards and provisions
in the Articles of the Holding Company, the Board of Directors may be in a
stronger position to oppose such a transaction if the Board concludes that the
transaction would not be in the best interest of the Holding Company, even if
the price offered is significantly greater than the then market price of any
equity security of the Holding Company.
Procedures for Certain Business Combinations. The Articles require that
certain business combinations between the Holding Company (or any majority-owned
subsidiary thereof) and a 10% or greater shareholder either be approved (i) by
at least 80% of the total number of outstanding voting shares of the Holding
Company or (ii) by a majority of certain directors unaffiliated with such 10% or
greater shareholder or involve consideration per share generally equal to the
higher of (A) the highest amount paid by such 10% shareholder or its affiliates
in acquiring any shares of the Common Stock or (B) the "Fair Market Value"
(generally, the highest closing bid paid for the Common Stock during the thirty
days preceding the date of the announcement of the proposed business combination
or on the date the 10% or greater shareholder became such, whichever is higher).
Amendments to Articles and Bylaws. Amendments to the Articles must be
approved by a majority vote of the Holding Company's Board of Directors and also
by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Holding Company's voting shares;
provided, however, that approval by at least 80% of the outstanding voting
shares is required for certain provisions (i.e., provisions relating to number,
classification, and removal of directors; provisions relating to the manner of
amending the By-Laws; call of special shareholder meetings; criteria for
evaluating certain offers; certain business combinations; and amendments to
provisions relating to the foregoing). The provisions concerning limitations on
the acquisition of shares may be amended only by an 80% vote of the Holding
Company's outstanding shares unless at least two-thirds of the Holding Company's
Continuing Directors (directors of the Holding Company on September 11, 1997, or
directors recommended for appointment or election by a majority of such
directors) approve such amendments in advance of their submission to a vote of
shareholders (in which case only a majority vote of shareholders is required).
<PAGE>
The By-Laws may be amended only by a majority vote of the total number
of directors of the Holding Company.
Purpose and Effects of the Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Holding
Company Articles and By-Laws. The Holding Company's Board of Directors believes
that the provisions described above are prudent and will reduce the Holding
Company's vulnerability to takeover attempts and certain other transactions
which have not been negotiated with and approved by its Board of Directors.
These provisions will also assist in the orderly deployment of the Conversion
proceeds into productive assets during the initial period after the Conversion.
The Board of Directors believes these provisions are in the best interest of
Union Federal and the Holding Company and its shareholders. In the judgment of
the Board of Directors, the Holding Company's Board of Directors will be in the
best position to determine the true value of the Holding Company and to
negotiate more effectively for what may be in the best interests of the Holding
Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors believes that these
provisions will encourage potential acquirors to negotiate directly with the
Board of Directors of the Holding Company and discourage hostile takeover
attempts. It is also the view of the Board of Directors that these provisions
should not discourage persons from proposing a merger or other transaction at
prices reflecting the true value of the Holding Company and which is in the best
interests of all shareholders.
Attempts to take over financial institutions and their holding
companies have recently increased. Takeover attempts that have not been
negotiated with and approved by the Board of Directors present to shareholders
the risk of a takeover on terms that may be less favorable than might otherwise
be available. A transaction that is negotiated and approved by the Board of
Directors, on the other hand, can be carefully planned and undertaken at an
opportune time to obtain maximum value for the Holding Company and its
shareholders, with due consideration given to matters such as the management and
business of the acquiring corporation and maximum strategic development of the
Holding Company's assets.
An unsolicited takeover proposal can seriously disrupt the business and
management of a corporation and cause it to undertake defensive measures at a
great expense. Although a tender offer or other takeover attempt may be made at
a price substantially above then current market prices, such offers are
sometimes made for less than all of the outstanding shares of a target company.
As a result, shareholders may be presented with the alternative of partially
liquidating their investment at a time that may be disadvantageous, or retaining
their investment in an enterprise which is under different management and whose
objective may not be similar to that of the remaining shareholders. The
concentration of control, which could result from a tender offer or other
takeover attempt, could also deprive the Holding Company's remaining
shareholders of the benefits of certain protective provisions of the 1934 Act,
if the number of beneficial owners becomes less than 300 and the Holding Company
terminates its registration under the 1934 Act.
Despite the belief of the Holding Company's Board of Directors in the
benefits to shareholders of the foregoing provisions, the provisions may also
have the effect of discouraging future takeover attempts which would not be
approved by the Board of Directors, but which certain shareholders might deem to
be in their best interest or pursuant to which shareholders might receive a
substantial premium for their shares over then current market prices. As a
result, shareholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may
not have an opportunity to do so. These provisions will also render the removal
of the incumbent Board of Directors and of management more difficult. The Board
of Directors has, however, concluded that the potential benefits of these
restrictive provisions outweigh the possible disadvantages.
Other Restrictions on Acquisition of the Holding Company and Union Federal
State Law. Several provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law,
as amended (the "IBCL"), could affect the acquisition of shares of the Common
Stock or otherwise affect the control of the Holding Company. Chapter 43 of the
IBCL prohibits certain business combinations, including mergers, sales of
assets, recapitalizations, and reverse stock splits, between corporations such
as the Holding Company (assuming that it has over 100 shareholders) and an
interested shareholder, defined as the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the
voting power of the outstanding voting shares, for five years following the date
<PAGE>
on which the shareholder obtained 10% ownership unless the acquisition was
approved in advance of that date by the board of directors. If prior approval is
not obtained, several price and procedural requirements must be met before the
business combination can be completed. These requirements are similar to those
contained in the Holding Company Articles and described in " -- Provisions of
the Holding Company's Articles and By-Laws -- Procedures for Certain Business
Combinations." In general, the price requirements contained in the IBCL may be
more stringent than those imposed in the Holding Company Articles. However, the
procedural restraints imposed by the Holding Company Articles are somewhat
broader than those imposed by the IBCL. Also, the provisions of the IBCL may
change at some future date, but the relevant provisions of the Holding Company
Articles may only be amended by an 80% vote of the shareholders of the Holding
Company.
In addition, the IBCL contains provisions designed to assure that
minority shareholders have some say in their future relationship with Indiana
corporations in the event that a person made a tender offer for, or otherwise
acquired, shares giving that person more than 20%, 33 1/3%, and 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of corporations having 100 or more shareholders
(the "Control Share Acquisitions Statute"). Under the Control Share Acquisitions
Statute, if an acquiror purchases those shares at a time that the corporation is
subject to the Control Share Acquisitions Statute, then until each class or
series of shares entitled to vote separately on the proposal, by a majority of
all votes entitled to be cast by that group (excluding shares held by officers
of the corporation, by employees of the corporation who are directors thereof
and by the acquiror), approves in a special or annual meeting the rights of the
acquiror to vote the shares which take the acquiror over each level of ownership
as stated in the statute, the acquiror cannot vote these shares. An Indiana
corporation otherwise subject to the Control Share Acquisitions Statute may
elect not to be covered by the statute by so providing in its Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws. The Holding Company, however, will be subject to this
statute following the Conversion because of its desire to discourage
non-negotiated hostile takeovers by third parties.
The IBCL specifically authorizes Indiana corporations to issue options,
warrants or rights for the purchase of shares or other securities of the
corporation or any successor in interest of the corporation. These options,
warrants or rights may, but need not be, issued to shareholders on a pro rata
basis.
The IBCL specifically authorizes directors, in considering the best
interest of a corporation, to consider the effects of any action on
shareholders, employees, suppliers, and customers of the corporation, and
communities in which offices or other facilities of the corporation are located,
and any other factors the directors consider pertinent. As described above, the
Holding Company Articles contain a provision having a similar effect. Under the
IBCL, directors are not required to approve a proposed business combination or
other corporate action if the directors determine in good faith that such
approval is not in the best interest of the corporation. In addition, the IBCL
states that directors are not required to redeem any rights under or render
inapplicable a shareholder rights plan or to take or decline to take any other
action solely because of the effect such action might have on a proposed change
of control of the corporation or the amounts to be paid to shareholders upon
such a change of control. The IBCL explicitly provides that the different or
higher degree of scrutiny imposed in Delaware and certain other jurisdictions
upon director actions taken in response to potential changes in control will not
apply. The Delaware Supreme Court has held that defensive measures in response
to a potential takeover must be "reasonable in relation to the threat posed".
In taking or declining to take any action or in making any
recommendation to a corporation's shareholders with respect to any matter,
directors are authorized under the IBCL to consider both the short-term and
long-term interests of the corporation as well as interests of other
constituencies and other relevant factors. Any determination made with respect
to the foregoing by a majority of the disinterested directors shall conclusively
be presumed to be valid unless it can be demonstrated that such determination
was not made in good faith.
Because of the foregoing provisions of the IBCL, the Board will have
flexibility in responding to unsolicited proposals to acquire the Holding
Company, and accordingly it may be more difficult for an acquiror to gain
control of the Holding Company in a transaction not approved by the Board.

Federal Limitations. For three years following the Conversion, OTS
regulations prohibit any person (including entities), without the prior approval
of the OTS, from offering to acquire or acquiring more than 10% of any class of
equity security, directly or indirectly, of a converted savings association or
its holding company. This restriction does not apply to the acquisition by any
one or more tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans maintained by Union
Federal or the Holding Company, provided that the plan or plans do not have
beneficial ownership in the aggregate of more than 25% of any class of equity
security of the Holding Company. For these purposes, a person (including
management) who has obtained the right to vote shares of the Common Stock
pursuant to revocable proxies shall not be deemed to be the "beneficial owner"
of those shares if that person is not otherwise deemed to be a beneficial owner
of those shares.
The Change in Bank Control Act provides that no "person," acting
directly or indirectly, or through or in concert with one or more persons, other
than a company, may acquire control of a savings association or a savings and
loan holding company unless at least 60 days prior written notice is given to
the OTS and the OTS has not objected to the proposed acquisition.
The Savings and Loan Holding Company Act also prohibits any "company,"
directly or indirectly or acting in concert with one or more other persons, or
through one or more subsidiaries or transactions, from acquiring control of an
insured savings institution without the prior approval of the OTS. In addition,
any company that acquires such control becomes a "savings and loan holding
company" subject to registration, examination and regulation as a savings and
loan holding company by the OTS.
The term "control" for purposes of the Change in Bank Control Act and
the Savings and Loan Holding Company Act includes the power, directly or
indirectly, to vote more than 25% of any class of voting stock of the savings
association or to control, in any manner, the election of a majority of the
directors of the savings association. It also includes a determination by the
OTS that such company or person has the power, directly or indirectly, to
exercise a controlling influence over or to direct the management or policies of
the savings association.
OTS regulations also set forth certain "rebuttable control
determinations" which arise (i) upon an acquisition of more than 10% of any
class of voting stock of a savings association; or (ii) upon an acquisition of
more than 25% of any class of voting or nonvoting stock of a savings
association; provided that, in either case, the acquiror is subject to any of
eight enumerated "control factors," which are: (1) the acquiror would be one of
the two largest holders of any class of voting stock of the association; (2) the
acquiror would hold more than 25% of the total shareholders' equity of the
association; (3) the acquiror would hold more than 35% of the combined debt
securities and shareholders' equity of the savings association; (4) the acquiror
is a party to any agreement pursuant to which the acquiror possesses a material
economic stake in the savings association or which enables the acquiror to
influence a material aspect of the management or policies of the association;
(5) the acquiror would have the ability, other than through the holding of
revocable proxies, to direct the votes of more than 25% of a class of the voting
stock or to vote in the future more than 25% of such voting stock upon the
occurrence of a future event; (6) the acquiror would have the power to direct
the disposition of more than 25% of the association's voting stock in a manner
other than a widely dispersed or public offering; (7) the acquiror and/or his
representative would constitute more than one member of the association's board
of directors; or (8) the acquiror would serve as an executive officer or in a
similar policy-making position with the association. For purposes of determining
percentage share ownership, a person is presumed to be acting in concert with
certain specified persons and entities, including members of the person's
immediate family, whether or not those family members share the same household
with the person.
The regulations also specify the criteria which the OTS uses to
evaluate control applications. The OTS is empowered to disapprove an acquisition
of control if it finds, among other things, that (i) the acquisition would
substantially lessen competition, (ii) the financial condition of the acquiring
person might jeopardize the institution or its depositors, or (iii) the
competency, experience, or integrity of the acquiring person indicates that it
would not be in the interest of the depositors, the institution, or the public
to permit the acquisition of control by such person.
<PAGE>
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Holding Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, without par value, all of which have identical rights and preferences,
and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. The Holding Company
expects to issue up to 3,041,750 shares of Common Stock and no shares of
preferred stock in the Conversion. The Holding Company has received an opinion
of its counsel that the shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion will be
validly issued, fully paid, and not liable for further call or assessment. This
opinion was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Holding Company's
Registration Statement under the 1933 Act.
Shareholders of the Holding Company will have no preemptive rights to
acquire additional shares of Common Stock which may be subsequently issued. The
Common Stock will represent nonwithdrawable capital, will not be of an insurable
type and will not be federally insured by the FDIC or any government entity.
Under Indiana law, the holders of the Common Stock will possess
exclusive voting power in the Holding Company, unless preferred stock is issued
and voting rights are granted to the holders thereof. Each shareholder will be
entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters voted upon by
shareholders, subject to the limitations discussed under the caption
"Restrictions on Acquisition of the Holding Company." Shareholders may not
cumulate their votes in the election of the Board of Directors. Holders of
Common Stock will be entitled to payment of dividends as may be declared from
time to time by the Holding Company's Board of Directors.
In the unlikely event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Holding
Company, the holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to receive after
payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the Holding
Company, all assets of the Holding Company available for distribution, in cash
or in kind. See "The Conversion -- Principal Effects of Conversion -- Effect on
Liquidation Rights." If preferred stock is issued subsequent to the Conversion,
the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of Common Stock in the
event of liquidation or dissolution.
The Board of Directors of the Holding Company will be authorized to
issue preferred stock in series and to fix and state the voting powers,
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof. Preferred stock may rank prior to the Common Stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preferences, or both, and may have full or limited
voting rights. The holders of preferred stock will be entitled to vote as a
separate class or series under certain circumstances, regardless of any other
voting rights which such holders may have.
Except as discussed elsewhere herein, the Holding Company has no
specific plans for the issuance of the additional authorized shares of Common
Stock or for the issuance of any shares of preferred stock. In the future, the
authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock will be available
for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, possible issuance
as stock dividends or stock splits, in future mergers or acquisitions, under a
cash dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or in future underwritten or
other public or private offerings. The authorized but unissued shares of
preferred stock will similarly be available for issuance in future mergers or
acquisitions, in future underwritten public offerings or private placements or
for other general corporate purposes. Except as described above or as otherwise
required to approve the transaction in which the additional authorized shares of
Common Stock or authorized shares of preferred stock would be issued, no
shareholder approval will be required for the issuance of these shares.
Accordingly, the Holding Company's Board of Directors without shareholder
approval can issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could
adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock.
The offering and sale of Common Stock in the Conversion will be
registered under the 1933 Act. The subsequent sale or transfer of Common Stock
is governed by the 1934 Act, which requires that sales or exchanges of subject
<PAGE>
securities be made pursuant to an effective registration statement or qualified
for an exemption from registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Similarly, the
securities laws of the various states also require generally the registration of
shares offered for sale unless there is an applicable exemption from
registration.
The Holding Company, as a newly organized corporation, has never issued
capital stock, and, accordingly, there is no market for the Common Stock. See
"Market for the Common Stock." See "Restrictions on Acquisition of the Holding
Company -- Provisions of the Holding Company's Articles and By-Laws" for a
description of certain provisions of the Holding Company's Articles and By-Laws
which may affect the ability of the Holding Company's shareholders to
participate in certain transactions relating to acquisitions of control of the
Holding Company. Also, see "Dividends" for a description of certain matters
relating to the possible future payment of dividends on the Common Stock.
TRANSFER AGENT
The Fifth Third Bank will act as transfer agent and registrar for the
Common Stock. The Fifth Third Bank's phone number is (513) 579-5320 or (800)
837-2755.
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Upon the Conversion, the Holding Company's Common Stock will be
registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act and may not be deregistered
for a period of at least three years following the Conversion. As a result of
the registration under the 1934 Act, certain holders of Common Stock will be
subject to certain reporting and other requirements imposed by the 1934 Act. For
example, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock will
be required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(d) or Section 13(g) of the
1934 Act, and officers, directors and 10% shareholders of the Holding Company
will generally be subject to reporting requirements of Section 16(a) and to the
liability provisions for profits derived from purchases and sales of Holding
Company Common Stock occurring within a six-month period pursuant to Section
16(b) of the 1934 Act. In addition, certain transactions in Common Stock, such
as proxy solicitations and tender offers, will be subject to the disclosure and
filing requirements imposed by Section 14 of the 1934 Act and the regulations
promulgated thereunder.
LEGAL AND TAX MATTERS
Barnes & Thornburg, 11 South Meridian Street, Indianapolis, Indiana
46204, special counsel to Union Federal, will pass upon the legality and
validity of the shares of Common Stock being issued in the Conversion. Barnes &
Thornburg has issued an opinion concerning certain federal and state income tax
aspects of the Conversion and that the Conversion, as proposed, constitutes a
tax-free reorganization under federal and Indiana law. Barnes & Thornburg have
consented to the references herein to their opinions. Certain legal matters
related to this offering will be passed upon for Trident Securities by Luse
Lehman Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., 5335 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Suite 400,
Washington, D.C. 20015.

Independent Auditor's Report
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
Crawfordsville, Indiana
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association (formerly Union Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Crawfordsville, Indiana) and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in retained earnings, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Association's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements described above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Union
Federal Savings and Loan Association and subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

o Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association ("Association") and its wholly owned subsidiary, UFS Service Corp.
("UFS"), conform to generally accepted accounting principles and reporting
practices followed by the thrift industry. The more significant of the policies
are described below.
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.
The Association operates under a federal thrift charter and provides full
banking services. As a federally-chartered thrift, the Association is subject to
regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The Association generates mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from
customers located primarily in Montgomery County, Indiana and surrounding
counties. The Association's loans are generally secured by specific items of
collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets. UFS
invests in a low income housing partnership.
Consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Association and UFS after elimination of all material intercompany transactions
and accounts.
Investment Securities--The Association adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities, on January 1, 1994. At adoption, all investment securities
were classified as held to maturity.
Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Association has the
positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities held
to maturity are carried at amortized cost.
Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded using the
interest method as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses
are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of
securities are determined on the specific-identification method.
Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding. A loan is impaired when,
based on current information or events, it is probable that the Association will
be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with insignificant delays not
exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual
and substantially delinquent loans may be considered to be impaired. The
Association considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and
consumer loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate
identification for evaluation of impairment. Interest income is accrued on the
principal balances of loans. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual
loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable
to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all
unpaid accrued interest is reversed when considered uncollectible. Interest
income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received.
Certain loan fees and direct costs are being deferred and amortized as an
adjustment of yield on the loans over the contractual lives of the loans. When a
loan is paid off or sold, any unamortized loan origination fee balance is
credited to income.

UNION FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses based on
management's continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and its
judgment as to the impact of economic conditions on the portfolio. The
evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes
in the composition of the portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans
outstanding, and the probability of collecting all amounts due. Impaired loans
are measured by the present value of expected future cash flows, or the fair
value of the collateral of the loan, if collateral dependent.
The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the
economic environment and market conditions. Management believes that as of June
30, 1997 (unaudited) and December 31, 1996 and 1995, the allowance for loan
losses is adequate based on information currently available. A worsening or
protracted economic decline in the area within which the Association operates
would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market
risks and could create the need for additional loss reserves.
Premises and equipment are carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based principally on the
estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 5 to 31.5 years.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and
improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in
current operations.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are
members of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. The required investment
in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.
Foreclosed real estate is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less
estimated selling costs. When foreclosed real estate is acquired, any required
adjustment is charged to the allowance for loan losses. All subsequent activity
is included in current operations.
Investment in limited partnership is recorded using the equity method of
accounting. Losses due to impairment are recorded when it is determined that the
investment no longer has the ability to recover its carrying amount. The
benefits of low income housing tax credits associated with the investment are
accrued when earned.
Income tax in the consolidated statement of income includes deferred income tax
provisions or benefits for all significant temporary differences in recognizing
income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The
Association files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.

On January 1, 1995, the Association adopted SFAS Nos. 114 and 118, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures. At June 30, 1997, (unaudited) the
Association had no impaired loans. At December 31, 1996, the Association had an
impaired loan of $112,000 and had recorded an allowance for losses of $37,000.
The average balance of impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 1997
(unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 1996 was $66,000 and $110,000. The
Association had no interest income or cash receipts on impaired loans during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and during the year ended December
31, 1997.
In addition, at June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and December 31, 1996, the Association
had nonaccrual loans of $122,000 and $377,000, for which impairment had not been
recognized. If interest on these loans had been recognized at the original
interest rates, interest income would have increased approximately $3,000 and
$14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and for the year
ended December 31, 1996.
The Association has no commitments to loan additional funds to the borrowers of
impaired or nonaccrual loans.
Nonaccruing loans totaled $156,000 and $143,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Additional interest income of approximately $3,000 for 1995 and $1,000 for 1994
would have been recorded had income on those loans been considered collectible
and accounted for on the accrual basis under the original terms of the loans.

The Association has entered into transactions with certain directors and
officers. Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on
substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions
with other customers, and did not, in the opinion of management, involve more
than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. The aggregate
amount of loans, as defined, to such related parties was as follows:

At June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and December 31, 1996, the Association had an
unused business income tax credit carryforward of $62,000 and $68,000 expiring
in 2011.
Retained earnings at June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and December 31, 1996 and 1995
include approximately $2,632,000 for which no deferred income tax liability has
been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt
deductions as of December 31, 1987 for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts
so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising
from carryback of net operating losses or loss of "bank" status, would create
income for tax purposes only, which income would be subject to the then-current
corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the
above amounts was approximately $1,043,000 at June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

o Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In the normal course of business there are outstanding commitments and
contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The
Association'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 or notional amount
of those instruments. The Association uses the same credit policies in making
such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the
consolidated balance sheet.
Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk were as
follows:
June 30, December 31,
1997 1996 1995
-----------------------------------
(Unaudited)
Mortgage loan commitments
At variable rates $57 $28
At fixed rates ranging from
7.50 to 9.25% for June 30, 1997,
7.38 to 9.00% for 1996 and
7.75 to 8.50% for 1995 397 $386 295
Standby letters of credit 2,018 1,500 1,500
Commitments to purchase loans 300 500
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 Association evaluates each customer's
credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if
deemed necessary by the Association upon extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial
properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Association
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
The Association and UFS are also subject to claims and lawsuits which arise
primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management
that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the
Association.

o Regulatory Capital
The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate actions by the regulatory agencies that, if
undertaken, could have a material effect on the Association's financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Association must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of the Association's assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Association's capital amounts and classification are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings,
and other factors.
At June 30, 1997 (unaudited) and December 31, 1996, the management of the
Association believes that it meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it
is subject. The most recent notification from the regulatory agency categorized
the Association as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. There have been no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed this categorization.
The Association's actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows:

o Employee Benefit Plans
The Association provides pension benefits for substantially all of its
employees, and is a participant in a pension fund known as the Pentegra Group
(formerly known as the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund). This plan is a
multi-employer plan; separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to
each participating employer. Pension expense was $20,000 and $26,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 (unaudited) and $47,000, $53,000 and $56,000
for 1996, 1995 and 1994.
The Association has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which substantially all
employees may participate. The Association matches employees' contributions at
the rate of 50% for the first 5% of base salary contributed by participants. The
Association's expense for the plan was $5,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 (unaudited) and $10,000, $11,000 and $9,000 for 1996, 1995 and
1994.

o Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument:
Cash and Cash Equivalents--The fair value of cash and cash equivalents
approximates carrying value.
Investment Securities--Fair values are based on quoted market prices.
Loans--The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
FHLB Stock--Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be
resold to the FHLB.
Interest Receivable/Payable--The fair value of accrued interest
receivable/payable approximates carrying values.
Deposits--Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities
on such time deposits.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances--The fair value of these borrowings are
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for
similar debt.
Note Payable--Limited Partnership--The fair value of the borrowing is estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for similar
debt.
Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance--The fair value
approximates carrying value.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments--Commitments include commitments to originate
mortgage and consumer loans, and are generally of a short-term nature. The fair
value of such commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements
and the counterparties' credit standing. The carrying amounts of these
commitments, which are immaterial, are reasonable estimates of the fair value of
these financial instruments.

o Subsequent Event--Plan of Conversion
On June 2, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted a Plan of conversion ("Plan")
whereby the Association will convert from a Federally chartered mutual
institution to a Federally chartered stock savings and loan association. The
Plan is subject to approval of regulatory authorities and members at a special
meeting. The stock of the Association will be issued to Union Community Bancorp
("Union"), a holding company formed in connection with the conversion, and the
Association will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union. Pursuant to the
Plan, shares of capital stock of Union are expected to be offered initially for
subscription to eligible members of the Association and certain other persons as
of specified dates subject to various subscription priorities as provided in the
Plan. The capital stock will be offered at a price to be determined by the Board
of Directors based upon an appraisal to be made by an independent appraisal
firm. The exact number of shares to be offered will be determined by the Board
of Directors in conjunction with the determination of the subscription price. At
least the minimum number of shares offered in the conversion must be sold. Any
stock not purchased in the subscription offering will be sold in a community
offering expected to be commenced following the subscription offering.
<PAGE>
UNION FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
The Plan provides that when the conversion is completed, a "liquidation account"
will be established in an amount equal to the retained income of the Association
as of the date of the most recent financial statements contained in the final
conversion prospectus. The liquidation account is established to provide a
limited priority claim to the assets of the Association to qualifying depositors
("eligible account holders") at December 31, 1995 and other depositors
("supplemental eligible account holders") as of September 30, 1997 who continue
to maintain deposits in the Association after conversion. In the unlikely event
of a complete liquidation of the Association, and only in such event, eligible
account holders would receive from the liquidation account a liquidation
distribution based on their proportionate share of the then total remaining
qualifying deposits.
Current regulations allow the Association to pay dividends on its stock after
the conversion if its regulatory capital would not thereby be reduced below the
amount then required for the aforementioned liquidation account. Also, capital
distribution regulations limit the Association's ability to make capital
distributions which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases,
cash-out mergers, interest payments on certain convertible debt and other
transactions charged to the capital account based on its capital level and
supervisory condition. Under regulations in effect at June 30, 1997, no
repurchase of bank or holding company stock may be made during the first year
following conversion. For the second and third years following conversion,
subject to the demonstration of a valid business purpose and approval by the
Office of Thrift Supervision, annual repurchases of up to 5 percent of
outstanding stock can be made.
Costs of conversion will be netted from proceeds of sale of common stock and
recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital or common stock. If the
conversion is not competed, such costs, totalling $7,500 at June 30, 1997
(unaudited), would be charged to expense.
o Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, and the
consolidated statements of income, changes in retained earnings and cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited, but management is
of the opinion that all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods
reported, have been included in the accompanying financial statements. The
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of those expected for the remainder of the year.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 21 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, as amended (the "BCL"),
grants to each corporation broad powers to indemnify directors, officers,
employees or agents against expenses incurred in certain proceedings if the
conduct in question was found to be in good faith and was reasonably believed to
be in the corporation's best interests. This statute provides, however, that
this indemnification should not be deemed exclusive of any other indemnification
rights provided by the articles of incorporation, by-laws, resolution or other
authorization adopted by a majority vote of the voting shares then issued and
outstanding. Section 10.05 and Article 13 of the Articles of Incorporation of
the Registrant state as follows:
Section 10.05. Limitation of Liability and Reliance on Corporate
Records and Other Information.
Clause 10.051. General Limitation. No Director, member of any committee
of the Board of Directors, or of another committee appointed by the Board,
Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation ("Corporate Person") shall be
liable for any loss or damage if, in taking or omitting to take any action
causing such loss or damage, either (1) such Corporate Person acted (A) in
good faith, (B) with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like
position would have exercised under similar circumstances, and (C) in a
manner such Corporate Person reasonably believed was in the best interests
of the Corporation, or (2) such Corporate Person's breach of or failure to
act in accordance with the standards of conduct set forth in Clause
10.051(1) above (the "Standards of Conduct") did not constitute willful
misconduct or recklessness.
Clause 10.052. Reliance on Corporate Records and Other Information. Any
"Corporate Person" shall be fully protected, and shall be deemed to have
complied with the Standards of Conduct, in relying in good faith, with
respect to any information contained therein, upon (1) the Corporate
Records, or (2) information, opinions, reports or statements (including
financial statements and other financial data) prepared or presented by (A)
one or more other Corporate Persons whom such Corporate Person reasonably
believes to be competent in the matters presented, (B) legal counsel,
public accountants or other persons as to matters that such Corporate
Person reasonably believes are within such person's professional or expert
competence, (C) a committee of the Board of Directors or other committee
appointed by the Board of Directors, of which such Corporate Person is not
a member, if such Corporate Person reasonably believes such committee of
the Board of Directors or such appointed committee merits confidence, or
(D) the Board of Directors, if such Corporate Person is not a Director and
reasonably believes that the Board merits confidence.
ARTICLE 13
Indemnification
Section 13.01. General. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent to
which it is empowered to do so by the Act, or any other applicable laws, as
from time to time in effect, indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or
who, while serving as such Director, Officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including
counsel fees), judgments, settlements, penalties and fines (including
excise taxes assessed with respect to employee benefit plans) actually or
reasonably incurred by him in accordance with such action, suit or
proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, was in the best
interest of the Corporation, and in all other cases, was not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, he either had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.
Section 13.02. Authorization of Indemnification. To the extent that a
Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to in Section 13.01 of this Article, or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall
indemnify such person against expenses (including counsel fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. Any other
indemnification under Section 13.01 of this Article (unless ordered by a
court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific
case, upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, Officer,
employee or agent is permissible in the circumstances because he has met
the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (1) by
the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
Directors who were not at the time parties to such action, suit or
proceeding; or (2) if a quorum cannot be obtained under subdivision (1), by
a majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors
(in which designation Directors who are parties may participate),
consisting solely of two or more Directors not at the time parties to such
action, suit or proceeding; or (3) by special legal counsel: (A) selected
by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in
subdivision (1) or (2), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot
be obtained under subdivision (1) and a committee cannot be designated
under subdivision (2), selected by a majority vote of the full Board of
Directors (in which selection Directors who are parties may participate);
or (4) by the Shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control
of Directors who are at the time parties to such action, suit or proceeding
may not be voted on the determination.
Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of
expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that
indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by
special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as
to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled under
subsection (3) to select counsel.
Section 13.03. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination
under Section 13.01 of this Article 13, a person shall be deemed to have
acted in good faith and to have otherwise met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Section 13.01 if his action is based on information,
opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other
financial data, if prepared or presented by (1) one or more Officers or
employees of the Corporation or another enterprise whom he reasonably
believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (2) legal
counsel, public accountants, appraisers or other persons as to matters he
reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert
competence; or (3) a committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
or another enterprise of which the person is not a member if he reasonably
believes the committee merits confidence. The term "another enterprise" as
used in this Section 13.03 shall mean any other corporation or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent.
The provisions of this Section 13.03 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or
to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to
have met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 13.01 of
this Article 13.
Section 13.04. Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred in
connection with any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be
paid for or reimbursed by the Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized in the
specific case in the same manner described in Section 13.02 of this
Article, upon receipt of a written affirmation of the Director, Officer,
employee or agent's good faith belief that he has met the standard of
conduct described in Section 13.01 of this Article and upon receipt of a
written undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, Officer, employee or
agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he did
not meet the standard of conduct set forth in this Article 13, and a
determination is made that the facts then known to those making the
determination would not preclude indemnification under this Article13.
Section 13.05. Provisions Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided
by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under these Articles of
Incorporation, the Corporation's Code of By-Laws, any resolution of the
Board of Directors or Shareholders, any other authorization, whenever
adopted, after notice, by a majority vote of all Voting Stock then
outstanding, or any contract, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee
or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.
Section 13.06. Vested Right to Indemnification. The right of any
individual to indemnification under this Article shall vest at the time of
occurrence or performance of any event, act or omission giving rise to any
action, suit or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 13.01 of
this Article 13 and, once vested, shall not later be impaired as a result
of any amendment, repeal, alteration or other modification of any or all of
these provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification
afforded under this Article shall be applicable to all alleged prior acts
or omissions of any individual seeking indemnification hereunder,
regardless of the fact that such alleged acts or omissions may have
occurred prior to the adoption of this Article. To the extent such prior
acts or omissions cannot be deemed to be covered by this Article 13, the
right of any individual to indemnification shall be governed by the
indemnification provisions in effect at the time of such prior acts or
omissions.
Section 13.07. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability
asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising
from the individual's status as a Director, Officer, employee or agent,
whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify the individual
against the same liability under this Article.
Section 13.08. Additional Definitions. For purposes of this Article,
references to the "Corporation" shall include any domestic or foreign
predecessor entity of the Corporation in a merger or other transaction in
which the predecessor's existence ceased upon consummation of the
transaction.
For purposes of this Article, serving an employee benefit plan at the
request of the Corporation shall include any service as a Director,
Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or
involves services by such Director, Officer, employee, or agent with
respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries. A
person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee
benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the
best interest of the Corporation" referred to in this Article.
For purposes of this Article, "party" includes any individual who is or
was a plaintiff, defendant or respondent in any action, suit or proceeding,
or who is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in any
action, suit or proceeding.
For purposes of this Article, "official capacity," when used with
respect to a Director, shall mean the office of director of the
Corporation; and when used with respect to an individual other than a
Director, shall mean the office in the Corporation held by the Officer or
the employment or agency relationship undertaken by the employee or agent
on behalf of the Corporation. "Official capacity" does not include service
for any other foreign or domestic corporation or any partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, whether for
profit or not.
Section 13.09. Payments a Business Expense. Any payments made to any
indemnified party under this Article under any other right to
indemnification shall be deemed to be an ordinary and necessary business
expense of the Corporation, and payment thereof shall not subject any
person responsible for the payment, or the Board of Directors, to any
action for corporate waste or to any similar action.
Under the Act, an Indiana corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against any
liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of the Act.
The Registrant has purchased insurance designed to protect and indemnify the
Registrant and its officers and directors in case they are required to pay any
amounts arising from certain claims, including claims under the Securities Act
of 1933, which might be made against the officers and directors by reason of any
actual or alleged act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement,
neglect, or breach of duty while acting in their respective capacities as
officers or directors of the Registrant.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Because the Registrant was only recently incorporated to act as a holding
company upon the completion of the offering registered by means of this
Registration Statement, the Registrant has not yet issued any shares of its
capital stock or other securities.
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
(a) The exhibits furnished with this Registration Statement are
listed beginning on page E-l.
(b) No financial statement schedules are required.
Item 17. Undertakings.
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) 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)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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table on the effective registration statement; and
(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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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.
(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the
underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement,
certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required
by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(3) 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 payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
of an 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.

Trident Securities, Inc.

Raleigh, North Carolina 27609
Dear Sirs:
Union Community Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), and
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federally-chartered and federally
insured mutual savings and loan association (the "Association"), hereby confirm,
as of __________, 1997, their respective agreements with Trident Securities,
Inc. ("Trident"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") and a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.
("NASD"), as follows:
1. Introductory. The Association intends to convert from a
federally-chartered mutual savings association to a federally-chartered stock
savings association as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (together with
the Offerings, as defined below, the issuance of shares of common stock of the
Association to the Company and the incorporation of the Company, the
"Conversion") pursuant to a plan of conversion adopted on June 2, 1997 (the
"Plan"), as amended on October 29, 1997. In accordance with the Plan, the
Company is offering shares of its common stock, with no par value (the "Shares"
and the "Common Stock"), pursuant to nontransferable subscription rights in a
subscription offering (the "Subscription Offering") to certain depositors and
borrowers of the Association and the Association's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(the "ESOP")). Shares of the Common Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering
may be offered to the general public in a community offering (the "Community
Offering", and together with the Subscription Offering the "Offerings"), subject
to the right of the Company and the Association, in their absolute discretion,
to reject orders in the Community Offering in whole or in part. It is
anticipated that shares of the Common Stock not otherwise subscribed for in the
Subscription and Community Offerings may be offered at the discretion of the
Company to certain members of the general public as part of a community offering
on a best efforts basis by Trident or, if necessary, by a selling group of
selected broker-dealers to be managed by Trident (the "Syndicated Community
Offering"). In the Offerings, the Company is offering between 1,955,000 and
2,645,000 shares, with the possibility of offering up to 3,041,750 Shares
without a resolicitation of subscribers. No Eligible Account Holder,
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.
Sales Agency Agreement
Page 2
Supplemental Account Holder or Other Member may purchase in his capacity as such
more than 20,000 shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering. No
individual person or other entity, together with associates of and persons
acting in concert with such person, may purchase in the Community Offering and
the Syndicated Community Offering more than 20,000 shares of Common Stock. No
person, individually or together with associates of and persons acting in
concert with such person, may purchase more than 30,417 shares of Common Stock
in the Conversion.
The Company and the Association have been advised by Trident that it
will utilize its best efforts in assisting the Company and the Association with
the sale of the Shares in the Offerings and, if deemed necessary by the Company,
in a Syndicated Community Offering. Prior to the execution of this Agreement,
the Company has delivered to Trident the Prospectus dated ___________, 1997 (as
hereinafter defined) and all supplements thereto to be used in the Offerings.
Such Prospectus contains information with respect to the Company, the
Association and the Shares.
2. Representations and Warranties.
(a) The Company and the Association jointly and severally
represent and warrant to Trident that:
(i) The Company has filed with the Commission a
registration statement, including exhibits and an amendment or
amendments thereto, on Form S-1 (No. 333- 35799), including a
Prospectus relating to the Offerings, for the registration of
the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"); and such registration statement has become effective
under the Act and no stop order has been issued with respect
thereto and no proceedings therefor have been initiated or, to
the Company's best knowledge, threatened by the Commission.
Except as the context may otherwise require, such registration
statement, as amended or supplemented, on file with the
Commission at the time the registration statement became
effective, including the Prospectus, financial statements,
schedules, exhibits and all other documents filed as part
thereof, as amended and supplemented, is herein called the
"Registration Statement," and the prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, on file with the Commission at the time the
Registration Statement became effective is herein called the
"Prospectus," except that if the prospectus filed by the
Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
general rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act
(together with the enforceable published policies and actions
of the Commission thereunder, the "SEC Regulations") differs
from the form of prospectus on file at the time the
Registration Statement became effective, the term "Prospectus"
shall refer to the Rule 424(b) prospectus from and after the
time it is filed with the Commission and shall include any
amendments or supplements thereto
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.
Sales Agency Agreement
Page 3
from and after their dates of effectiveness or use,
respectively. If any Shares remain unsubscribed following
completion of the Subscription Offering and the Community
Offering, the Company (i) will, if required by the SEC
Regulations, promptly file with the Commission a
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement
relating to the results of the Subscription and the Community
Offerings, any additional information with respect to the
proposed plan of distribution and any revised pricing
information or (ii) if no such post-effective amendment is
required, will file with the Commission a prospectus or
prospectus supplement containing information relating to the
results of the Subscription and Community Offerings and
pricing information pursuant to Rule 424(c) of the
Regulations, in either case in a form reasonably acceptable to
the Company and Trident.
(ii) The Association has filed an Application for
Approval of Conversion including exhibits (as amended or
supplemented, the "Conversion Application" with the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") under the Home Owners' Loan Act
(the "HOLA") and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, which has been approved by the OTS; and the
Prospectus and the proxy statement for the solicitation of
proxies from members for the special meeting to approve the
Plan (the "Proxy Statement") included as part of the
Conversion Application have been approved for use by the OTS.
No order has been issued by the OTS preventing or suspending
the use of the Prospectus or the Proxy Statement; and no
action by or before the OTS revoking such approvals is, to the
Association's best knowledge, pending or threatened.
(iii) The Company has filed with the OTS a holding
company application on Form H-(e)1-S (the "H-(e)1-S") under
the HOLA and the regulations promulgated thereunder and shall
receive approval of its acquisition of the Association from
the OTS prior to closing.
(iv) At the date of the Prospectus and at all times
subsequent thereto through and including the Closing Date (i)
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented, if amended or supplemented) complied with the
Act and the SEC Regulations, (ii) the Registration Statement
(as amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented) did
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
(iii) the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if amended
or supplemented) did not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.
Sales Agency Agreement
Page 4
misleading, and (iv) the Conversion Application was complete
and did not contain an untrue statement or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. Representations or
warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements or
omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company or the Association
relating to Trident by or on behalf of Trident expressly for
use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.
(v) The Company has been duly incorporated as an
Indiana corporation and the Association has been duly
organized as a mutual savings association under the laws of
the United States of America, and each of them is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with full power and authority
to own its property and conduct its business as described in
the Registration Statement and Prospectus; the Association is
a member in good standing of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis; and the deposit accounts of the Association are
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") up to the applicable legal limits. Neither the
Company nor the Association is required to be qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where
non-qualification would have a material adverse effect on the
operations of the Company and the Association, taken as a
whole. The Association does not own equity securities of or an
equity interest in any business enterprise other than the
Association's wholly owned service corporation. Upon amendment
of the Association's charter and bylaws to read in the form of
a federal stock charter as provided in the HOLA and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder and completion of the
sale by the Company of the Shares as contemplated by the
Prospectus, (i) the Association will be converted pursuant to
the Plan to a federally-chartered capital stock savings
association with full power and authority to own its property
and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus, (ii)
all of the authorized and outstanding capital stock of the
Association will be owned of record and beneficially by the
Company, and (iii) the Company will have no direct
subsidiaries other than the Association.
(vi) The Association has good and marketable title to
all assets material to its business and to those assets
described in the Prospectus as owned by it, free and clear of
all material liens, charges, encumbrances or restrictions,
except for liens for taxes not yet due, except as described in
the Prospectus and except as could not in the aggregate have a
material adverse effect upon the operations or financial
condition of the Company and the Association taken as a whole;
and all of the leases and subleases material to the operations
or financial condition of the Association, under which it
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.
Sales Agency Agreement
Page 5
holds properties, including those described in the Prospectus,
are in full force and effect as described therein.
(vii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions
on the part of each of the Company and the Association, and
this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation with valid
execution and delivery by each of the Company and the
Association, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except
as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally or the rights of creditors of savings and loan
holding companies the accounts of whose subsidiaries are
insured by the FDIC or by general equity principles,
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law, and except to the extent that
the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof may be unenforceable
as against public policy or pursuant to Section 23A of the
Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 371c ("Section 23A")).
(viii) Except as described in the Prospectus, there
is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending or, to the
best knowledge of the Company or the Association, threatened
against or involving the Company, the Association or any of
their respective assets which individually or in the aggregate
would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations and business, including the assets and properties,
of the Company and the Association, taken as a whole.
(ix) The Company and the Association have received
the opinion of Barnes & Thornburg to the effect that the
Conversion will constitute a tax-free reorganization under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that the
Conversion will not be a taxable transaction for the Company
or the Association under the income tax laws of Indiana. The
facts relied upon in such opinions are accurate and complete.
(x) Each of the Company and the Association has all
such corporate power, authority, authorizations, approvals and
orders as may be required to enter into this Agreement and to
carry out the provisions and conditions hereof, subject to the
limitations set forth herein and subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions imposed by the OTS in connection with
its approval of the Conversion Application and the H-(e)1-S
application, and except as may be required under the
securities, or "blue sky," laws of various jurisdictions, and
in the case of the Company, as of the Closing Date, will, to
the best knowledge of the Association, have such approvals and
orders to issue and sell the Shares to be sold by the Company
as provided herein, and
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.
Sales Agency Agreement
Page 6
in the case of the Association, as of the Closing Date, will,
to the knowledge of the Company, have such approvals and
orders to issue and sell the Shares of its Common Stock to be
sold to the Company as provided in the Plan, subject to the
issuance of an amended charter in the form required for
federally-chartered stock savings associations (the "Stock
Charter"), the form of which Stock Charter has been approved
by the OTS.
(xi) Neither the Company nor the Association is in
violation of any rule or regulation of the OTS or FDIC that
could reasonably be expected to result in any enforcement
action against the Company, the Association or their
respective officers or directors that could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, businesses, assets or
properties of the Company and the Association, taken as a
whole.
(xii) The financial statements and any related notes

permitted to extend such period of time, or (b) upon consummation of the
Conversion, whichever date shall first occur.
In the event the Company is unable to sell a minimum of 1,955,000
Shares (or such lesser amount as the OTS may permit) within the period herein
provided, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Company and the Association
shall refund promptly to any persons who have subscribed for any of the Shares,
the full amount which it may have received from them, together with interest as

the purchasers as set forth above, or for delivery to the Company if all Shares

If all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Conversion are

Company agrees to issue or have issued such Shares and to release for delivery
certificates to subscribers thereof for such Shares on the Closing Date against
payment to the Company by any means authorized pursuant to the Prospectus, at

following receipt or execution of an order form by Trident to the Association or
(b) to solicit indications of interest in which event (i) Trident will
subsequently contact any potential subscriber indicating interest to confirm the
interest and give instructions to execute and return an order form or to receive
authorization to execute the order form on the subscriber's behalf, (ii) Trident

Syndicated Community Offering. All such fees are to be payable in
next-day funds to Trident on the Closing Date.

including but not limited to travel, communications, legal fees and
postage, incurred by it whether or not the Offerings are successfully
completed; provided, however, that reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses
and legal fees will not exceed $28,000. This limitation on reimbursable
expenses does not apply to expenses and legal fees incurred in
connection with any "blue sky" filing requirements. Neither the Company
nor the Association shall pay or reimburse Trident for any of the
foregoing expenses accrued after Trident shall have notified the
Company or the Association of its election to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 11 hereof or after such time as the Company or the
Association shall have given notice in accordance with Section 12
hereof that Trident is in breach of this Agreement. Full payment to
defray Trident's reimbursable expenses shall be made in next-day funds
on the Closing Date or, if the Conversion is not completed and is
terminated for any reason, within ten (10) business days of receipt by
the Company of a written request from Trident for reimbursement of its
expenses. Trident acknowledges receipt of $7,500 advance payment from
the Association which shall be credited against the total reimbursement
due Trident hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding the limitations on reimbursement of
Trident for allocable expenses provided in the immediately preceding
paragraph (b), in the event that a resolicitation or other event causes
the Offerings to be extended beyond their original expiration date,
Trident shall be reimbursed for its reasonable allocable expenses
incurred during such extended period.
The Company shall pay any stock issue and transfer taxes which may be
payable with respect to the sale of the Shares. The Company and the Association

the Subscription and Community Offerings. The Shares are to be offered to the
public at the price set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.
5. Further Agreements. The Company and the Association jointly and
severally covenant and agree that:
(a) The Company shall deliver to Trident, from time to time,
such number of copies of the Prospectus as Trident reasonably may
request. The Company authorizes Trident to use the Prospectus in any
lawful manner in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company will notify Trident immediately upon
discovery, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes
effective or any supplement to the Prospectus has been filed, (ii) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order relating to the
Registration Statement or of the initiation or the threat of any
proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the receipt of any notice with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and (iv) of the receipt of any
comments (other than those of a non-substantive nature) from the staff
of the Commission relating to the Registration Statement. If the
Commission enters a stop order relating to the Registration Statement
at any time, the Company will make every reasonable effort to obtain
the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment.
(c) During the time when a prospectus is required to be
delivered under the Act, the Company will comply so far as it is able
with all requirements imposed upon it by the Act, as now in effect and
hereafter amended, and by the SEC Regulations, as from time to time in
force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of offers and
sales of or dealings in the Shares in accordance with the provisions
hereof and the Prospectus. If during the period when the Prospectus is
required to be delivered in connection with the offer and sale of the
Shares any event relating to or affecting the Company and the
Association, taken as a whole, shall occur as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for Trident, with the concurrence
of counsel to the Company, to amend or supplement the Prospectus in
order to make the Prospectus not false or misleading in light of the
circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser of
the Shares, the Company forthwith shall prepare and furnish to Trident
a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or amendments or of a
supplement or supplements to the Prospectus (in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for Trident and counsel to the Company) which
shall amend or supplement the Prospectus so that, as amended or
supplemented, the Prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light
<PAGE>

of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered
to a purchaser of the Shares, not misleading. The Company will not file
or use any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus of which Trident has not first been furnished a copy or to
which Trident shall reasonably object after having been furnished such
copy. For the purposes of this subsection the Company and the
Association shall furnish such information with respect to themselves
as Trident from time to time may reasonably request.
(d) The Company and the Association have taken or will take
all reasonable necessary action as may be required to qualify or
register the Shares for offer and sale by the Company under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Trident and the
Company may agree upon; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under
the laws of any such jurisdiction. In each jurisdiction where such
qualification or registration shall be effected, the Company, unless
Trident agrees that such action is not necessary or advisable in
connection with the distribution of the Shares, shall file and make
such statements or reports as are, or reasonably may be, required by
the laws of such jurisdiction.
(e) Appropriate entries will be made in the financial records
of the Association sufficient to establish a liquidation account for
the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible
account holders in accordance with the requirements of the OTS.

registration for a minimum period of three years or for such shorter
period as may be required by applicable law.
(g) The Company will make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 90 days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form
complying with the provisions of Rule 158 of the regulations
promulgated under the Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not
later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following
the effective date (as defined in said Rule 158) of the Registration
Statement.
(h) For a period of three (3) years from the date of this
Agreement (unless the Common Stock shall have been deregistered under
the Exchange Act), the Company will furnish to Trident, as soon as
publicly available after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its
annual report to shareholders for such year; and the Company will
furnish to Trident (i) as soon as publicly available, a copy of each
report or definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the
Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to shareholders, and (ii)
from
<PAGE>

time to time, such other public information concerning the Company as
Trident may reasonably request.
(i) The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of
the Shares consistently with the manner set forth in the Prospectus.
(j) The Company shall not deliver the Shares until each and
every condition set forth in Section 7 hereof has been satisfied,
unless such condition is waived by Trident.
(k) The Company and the Association will take such actions and
furnish such information as are reasonably requested by Trident in
order for Trident to ensure compliance with the NASD's "Interpretation
Relating to Free-Riding and Withholding."
6. Payment of Expenses. Whether or not the Conversion is consummated,
the Company and the Association shall pay or reimburse Trident for (a) all
filing fees paid or incurred by Trident in connection with all filings with the
NASD with respect to the Subscription and Community Offerings and, (b) if the
Company is unable to sell a minimum of 1,955,000 Shares or such lesser amount as
the OTS may permit or the Conversion is otherwise terminated, the Company and
the Association shall reimburse Trident for allocable expenses incurred by
Trident relating to the offering of the Shares as provided in Section 3 hereof;
provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Association shall pay or
reimburse Trident for any of the foregoing expenses accrued after Trident shall

Agreement pursuant to Section 11 hereof or after such time as the Company or the
Association shall have given notice in accordance with Section 12 hereof that
Trident is in breach of this Agreement.

the Association, or to such counsel, a present intention to
initiate such litigation or proceeding);
(xii) to the Actual Knowledge of such counsel, the

of the Conversion by the Company and the Association do not

instrument or obligation to which the Company or the
Association is a party or violate any federal governmental
license or permit or any federal law, administrative
regulation or order or court order, writ, injunction or decree
(subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions imposed by

properties of the Company and the Association, taken as a
whole; and
(xiii) to the Actual Knowledge of such counsel, there
has been no material breach of any provision of the Company's
or the Association's Articles of Incorporation, charter or
bylaws or breach or default (or the occurrence of any event
which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute
a default) under any agreement, contract, indenture, bond,
debenture, note, instrument or obligation to which the Company
or the Association is a party or by which any of them or any
of their respective assets or properties may be bound, or a
violation of any court order, writ, injunction or decree which

effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
business, assets or properties of the Company and the
Association, taken as a whole;
(xiv) the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the consummation of the Conversion have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of each of the Company and the Association;
(xv) this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each of the Company and the Association,
enforceable in accordance with its terms except as the
enforceability thereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, receivership,
conservatorship or other laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally or the rights of
creditors of depository institutions whose accounts are
insured by the FDIC or savings and loan holding companies the
accounts of whose subsidiaries are insured by the FDIC, (ii)
by general equity principles, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law, or (iii) laws relating to the safety and soundness of
insured depository institutions and their affiliates and
except to the extent that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9
hereof may be unenforceable as against public policy or
applicable law, including but not limited to Section 23A (as
to which no opinion need be rendered);

(xvi) the statements in the Prospectus and
incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement under the
captions "Regulation," "Dividends," "Restrictions on
Acquisition of the Holding Company" and "Description of
Capital Stock," insofar as they are, or refer to, statements
of law or legal conclusions (excluding financial data included
therein, as to which an opinion need not be expressed), have
been prepared or reviewed by counsel and are correct in all
material respects;
(xvii) the Conversion Application has been approved
by the OTS, and the Prospectus and the Proxy Statement have
been authorized for use by the OTS; the Registration Statement
and any post-effective amendment thereto has been declared
effective by the Commission, and to the Actual Knowledge of
such counsel, no proceedings are pending by or before the
Commission or the OTS seeking to revoke or rescind the orders
declaring the Registration Statement effective or approving
the Conversion Application, or, to the Actual Knowledge of
such counsel, are contemplated or threatened;
(xviii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the consummation of the Conversion by the Company and the
Association do not conflict with or result in a breach of the
Articles of Incorporation, charter or bylaws of the Company or
the Association (in either mutual or stock form); and
(xix) at the time the Conversion Application, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Proxy
Statement, in each case as amended, were approved or declared
effective, such documents complied as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the Act, the HOLA and the
SEC Regulations and rules and regulations of the OTS, as the
case may be (except as to information with respect to Trident
included therein and financial statements, notes to financial
statements, financial tables and other financial and
statistical data, and stock valuation information, included
therein, as to which an opinion need not be expressed); to
such counsel's Actual Knowledge, all documents and exhibits
required to be filed with the Conversion Application and the
Registration Statement have been so filed and the descriptions
in the Conversion Application and the Registration Statement
of such documents and exhibits are accurate in all material
respects.
In rendering such opinions, such counsel may rely as to
matters of fact on certificates of officers and directors of the
Company and the Association and certificates of public officials
delivered pursuant hereto. Such counsel may assume that any agreement
is the valid and binding obligation of any parties to such agreement
other than the Company and the Association. Such opinion may be
governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the Legal Opinion
Accord (the "Accord") of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991), and,
as a
<PAGE>

consequence, such opinion is subject to the qualifications, exceptions,
definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as more
particularly described in the Accord, and it should be read in
conjunction therewith. In addition, the General Qualifications set
forth in the Accord apply to the opinions set forth in such opinion,
and the term "Actual Knowledge" as used therein shall have the meaning
set forth in the Accord. Such opinion may be limited to present
statutes, regulations and judicial interpretations and to facts as they
presently exist; in rendering such opinion, such counsel need assume no
obligation to revise or supplement it should the present laws be
changed by legislative or regulatory action, judicial decision or
otherwise which occur subsequent to the date of the opinion; and such
counsel need express no view, opinion or belief with respect to whether
any proposed or pending legislation, if enacted, or any regulations or
any policy statements issued by any regulatory agency, whether or not
promulgated pursuant to any such legislation, would affect the validity
of the execution and delivery by the Company and the Association of
this Agreement or the issuance of the Shares. Further, in rendering
such opinions, Barnes & Thornburg will opine solely as to matters of
Federal Securities and Banking law and Indiana law.
(c) At the Closing Date, Trident shall receive the letter of
Barnes & Thornburg, special counsel for the Company and the
Association, dated the Closing Date, addressed to Trident, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to counsel for Trident and to the
effect that: based on such counsel's participation in conferences with
representatives of the Company, the Association, its counsel, the
independent appraiser, the independent certified public accountants,
Trident and its counsel, review of documents and understanding of
applicable law (including the requirements of Form S-1 and the
character of the Registration Statement contemplated thereby) and the
experience such counsel has gained in its practice under the Act,
nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead it to
believe that the Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented
(except as to information in respect of Trident contained therein and
except as to the financial statements, notes to financial statements,
financial tables and other financial and statistical data and stock
valuation information contained therein, as to which counsel need
express no view), at the time it became effective contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, or that the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented (except
as to information in respect of Trident contained therein and except as
to financial statements, notes to financial statements, financial
tables and other financial and statistical data and stock valuation
information contained therein as to which such counsel need express no
view), as of its date and at the Closing Date, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading (in making this statement
such counsel may state that it has not undertaken to verify
independently the information in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus and,
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.

therefore, does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of
completeness or fairness thereof).
(d) Counsel for Trident shall have been furnished such
documents as they reasonably may require for the purpose of enabling
them to review or pass upon the matters required by Trident, and for
the purpose of evidencing the accuracy, completeness or satisfaction of
any of the representations, warranties or conditions herein contained,
including but not limited to, resolutions of the Board of Directors of
the Company and the Association regarding the authorization of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(e) Prior to and at the Closing Date, in the reasonable
opinion of Trident, (i) there shall have been no material adverse

operations of the Company and the Association, taken as a whole, since
the latest date as of which such condition is set forth in the
Prospectus, except as referred to therein; (ii) there shall have been
no transaction entered into by the Company or the Association after the
latest date as of which the financial condition of the Company and the
Association is set forth in the Prospectus other than transactions
referred to or contemplated therein, transactions in the ordinary
course of business, and transactions which are not materially adverse
to the Company and the Association, taken as a whole; (iii) none of the
Company or the Association shall have received from the OTS or
Commission any direction (oral or written) to make any change in the
method of conducting their respective businesses which is material and
adverse to the business of the Company and the Association, taken as a
whole, with which they have not complied; (iv) except as noted in the
Prospectus, no action, suit or proceeding, at law or in equity or
before or by any federal or state commission, board or other
administrative agency, shall be pending or threatened against the
Company or the Association or affecting any of their respective assets,
wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial
condition or income of the Company and the Association, taken as a
whole; and (v) the Shares shall have been qualified or registered for
offering and sale by the Company under the securities or blue sky laws
of such jurisdictions as Trident and the Company shall have agreed
upon.
(f) At the Closing Date, Trident shall receive a certificate
of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer
of each of the Company and the Association, dated the Closing Date, to
the effect that: (i) they have examined the Prospectus and, at the time
the Prospectus became authorized by the Company for use, the Prospectus
did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
with respect to the Company or the Association; (ii) since the date the
Prospectus became authorized by the Company for use, no event has
occurred which should have been set forth in an amendment or supplement
to the Prospectus which has not been so

Section 7 have been satisfied; (iii) to the best knowledge of such

of the final actions of the Office approving the Plan; and (v) all of
the representations and warranties contained in Section 2 of this

Trident Securities, Inc.

Page 24
All such opinions, certificates, letters and documents shall be in
compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are, in the reasonable
opinion of Trident and its counsel, satisfactory to Trident and its counsel. Any
certificates signed by an officer or director of the Company or the Association
prepared for Trident's reliance and delivered to Trident or to counsel for
Trident shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company or the
Association to Trident as to the statements made therein. If any condition to
Trident's obligations hereunder to be fulfilled prior to or at the Closing Date
is not so fulfilled, Trident may terminate this Agreement or, if Trident so
elects, may waive any such conditions which have not been fulfilled, or may
extend the time of their fulfillment. If Trident terminates this Agreement as
aforesaid, the Company and the Association shall reimburse Trident for its
expenses as provided in Section 3(b) hereof.
8. Indemnification.
(a) The Company and the Association jointly and severally
agree to indemnify and hold harmless Trident, its officers, directors
and employees and each person, if any, who controls Trident within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act,
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever and shall further promptly reimburse such persons upon
written demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
each or any of them in investigating, preparing to defend or defending
against any such action, proceeding or claim (whether commenced or
threatened) arising out of or based upon (A) any misrepresentation by
the Company or the Association in this Agreement or any breach of
warranty by the Company or the Association with respect to this
Agreement or arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to make not misleading
any statements contained in (i) the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or (ii) any application or other document or communication
(in this Section 8 collectively called "Application") prepared or
executed by or on behalf of the Company or the Association or based
upon (B) written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company
or the Association, whether or not filed in any jurisdiction, to effect
the Conversion or qualify the Shares under the securities laws thereof
or filed with the OTS or Commission, unless such statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company or the Association with respect to Trident by
or on behalf of Trident expressly for use in the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereof or in any Application, as the case may
be.
(b) The Company shall indemnify and hold Trident harmless for
any liability whatsoever arising out of any records of account holders,
depositors, and other members of the Association delivered to Trident
by the Association or its agents for use during the Conversion.
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.

Page 25
(c) Trident agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and the Association, their officers, directors and employees and each
person, if any, who controls the Company or the Association within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act,
to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the
Association to Trident, but only with respect to (A) statements or
omissions, if any, made in the Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereof, in any Application or to a purchaser of the Shares
in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished
to the Company or the Association with respect to Trident by or on
behalf of Trident expressly for use in the Prospectus or in any
Application; (B) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Trident
in Section 2(b) of this Agreement; or (C) any liability of the Company
or the Association which is found in a final judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have
principally and directly resulted from negligence or willful misconduct
of Trident.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may
have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. In
case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it may wish, jointly with the other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable
to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than the reasonable cost of
investigation except as otherwise provided herein. In the event the
indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any such action and
retain counsel acceptable to the indemnified party, the indemnified
party may retain additional counsel, but shall bear the fees and
expenses of such counsel unless (i) the indemnifying party shall have
specifically authorized the indemnified party to retain such counsel or
(ii) the parties to such suit include such indemnifying party and the
indemnified party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised
by counsel that one or more material legal defenses may be available to
the indemnified party which may not be available to the indemnifying
party, in which case the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to
assume the defense of such suit notwithstanding the indemnifying
party's obligation to bear the fees and expenses of such counsel. An
indemnifying party against whom indemnity may be sought shall not be
liable to indemnify an indemnified party under this Section 8 if any
settlement of any such action is effected without
<PAGE>
Trident Securities, Inc.
Sales Agency Agreement
Page 26
such indemnifying party's consent. To the extent required by law, this
Section 8 is subject to and limited by the provisions of Section 23A.
9. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 8 above is for any reason held to be unavailable to Trident, the Company
and/or the Association other than in accordance with its terms, the Company or
the Association and Trident shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses of the nature contemplated by said
indemnity agreement incurred by the Company or the Association and Trident (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company and the Association on the one hand and Trident on the other from
the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above, but
also the relative fault of the Company or the Association on the one hand and
Trident on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by
the Company and the Association on the one hand and Trident on the other shall
be deemed to be in the same proportions as the total net proceeds from the
Conversion received by the Company and the Association bear to the total fees
received by Trident under this Agreement. The relative fault of the Company or
the Association on the one hand and Trident on the other shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company or the Association or by Trident
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Association and Trident agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, Trident shall not be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which fees owed Trident
pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which Trident has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. To the extent required by law, this Section 9 is subject to
and limited by the provisions of Section 23A.

10. Survival of Agreements, Representations and Indemnities. The
respective indemnities of the Company and the Association and Trident and the
representation and warranties of the Company and the Association and of Trident
set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any
investigation made by or on behalf of Trident or the Company or the Association
or any controlling person or indemnified party referred to in Section 8 hereof,

representations.

impracticable to proceed with the offering of the Shares; or if trading
on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") shall have suspended (except
that this shall not apply to the imposition of NYSE trading collars
imposed on program trading); or if the United States shall have become
involved in a war or major hostilities; or if a general banking
moratorium has been declared by a state or federal authority which has
a material effect on the Association or the Conversion; or if a
moratorium in foreign exchange trading by major international banks or
persons has been declared; or if there shall have been a material
adverse change in the capitalization, condition or business of the
Company, or if the Association shall have sustained a material or
substantial loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake,
theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act, whether or not said
loss shall have been insured; or if there shall have been a material
adverse change in the condition or prospects of the Company or the
Association.
(b) If Trident elects to terminate this Agreement as provided
in this Section, the Company and the Association shall be notified
promptly by Trident by telephone or telegram, confirmed by letter.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated by Trident for any of the
reasons set forth in subsection (a) above, the Company and the
Association shall, upon demand, pay Trident the full amount owing
pursuant to Sections 3(b), 6, 8(a) and 9 of this Agreement.
(d) The Association may terminate the Conversion in accordance
with the terms of the Plan. Such termination shall be without liability

UNION FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
PLAN OF CONVERSION
From Mutual to Stock Form of Organization
I. GENERAL
On June 2, 1997, as amended on October 29, 1997, the Board of Directors of
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association") adopted a Plan of
Conversion whereby the Association will convert from a federal mutual savings
and loan association to a federal stock savings and loan association and, upon
conversion, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Holding Company to be
formed by the Association, all pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the
Office of Thrift Supervision. The Plan provides that non-transferable
subscription rights to purchase Conversion Stock will be offered first to the
Association's Eligible Account Holders of record as of December 31, 1995, and
then, to the extent that stock is available, to a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock
Benefit Plan, if any, and then, to the extent that stock is available, to
Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, and then, to the extent that stock is
available, to Other Members of the Association. Concurrently with, during or
promptly after the Subscription Offering, any shares of Conversion Stock not
sold in the Subscription Offering may also be offered to the general public in a
Direct Community Offering. The price of the Conversion Stock will be based upon
an independent appraisal of the Association and the Holding Company and will
reflect the Association's estimated pro forma market value, as converted. The
Holding Company will use the net proceeds it derives from the offering of
Conversion Stock to purchase shares of the Capital Stock of the Association
authorized upon its conversion; provided, however, that the Holding Company may
retain, for general business purposes, from the net proceeds of the Conversion
up to the maximum amount permitted to be retained by the Holding Company
pursuant to applicable regulations and policy guidelines. It is the desire of
the Board of Directors of the Association to attract new capital to the
Association in order to increase its net worth, repay certain outstanding
indebtedness, support future deposit growth, increase the amount of funds
available for residential mortgage and other lending, and to provide greater
resources for possible branching and acquisitions and for the expansion of
customer services. The Converted Association is also expected to benefit from
its management and other personnel having a stock ownership in its business
since stock ownership is viewed as an effective performance incentive and a
means of attracting, retaining and compensating management and other personnel.
In addition, the stock form of organization will permit Members of the
Association and others the opportunity to become shareholders of the Holding
Company and thereby participate more directly in earnings and growth. The
Holding Company structure has been adopted as a part of the Conversion to
provide the Association with greater organizational flexibility to respond to
the increasingly competitive environment in which it operates. No change will be
made in the Board of Directors or management of the Association as a result of
the Conversion. The Board of Directors and management of the Holding Company
will be selected from members of the Board and management of the Association.

C. Copies of the Plan adopted by the Board of Directors shall be made
available for inspection at the office of the Association.
D. The Association shall submit an Application for Approval of Conversion
to convert to a stock form of organization to the OTS. Upon filing that
Application in the prescribed form, the Association shall publish a "Notice of
Filing of an Application for Conversion to Convert to a Stock Savings and Loan
Association" in a newspaper of general circulation, as referred to in Paragraph
III.C. above. The Association also shall prominently display a copy of such
notice in its office.
E. The Association shall cause the Holding Company to be incorporated under

H. The Association and the Holding Company shall obtain an opinion of

state that the Conversion of the Association to a stock savings and loan
association and the adoption of the holding company structure will not result in
any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to the Holding Company or the
Association or to the Association's Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders, or Other Members. Receipt of a favorable opinion or
ruling is a condition precedent to completion of the Conversion.
I. After approval by the OTS of the Application for Approval of Conversion
and registration of the Conversion Stock with the SEC and applicable blue sky
authorities, the Plan will be submitted to the Members at a Special Meeting for
their approval and the Conversion Stock may be offered as hereinafter provided.
IV. CONVERSION PROCEDURE
Upon registration with the SEC and receipt of other required regulatory
approvals, the Holding Company will offer the Conversion Stock for sale in the
Subscription Offering at the Purchase Price to Eligible Account Holders, any
Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders
and Other Members of the Association prior to or within 45 days after the date
of the Special Meeting. However, the Holding Company may delay commencing the
Subscription Offering beyond such 45 day period in the event that the Board of
Directors of the Association determines that there exist unforeseen material
adverse market or financial conditions. The Association and the Holding Company
may, concurrently with or promptly after the Subscription Offering, also offer
the Conversion Stock to and accept subscriptions from other persons in a Direct
Community Offering; provided that Eligible Account Holders, any Tax-Qualified
Employee Stock Benefit Plan, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, and Other
Members shall have the priority rights to subscribe for Conversion Stock set
forth in Section VI.B of this Plan. If the Subscription Offering commences prior
to the Special Meeting, subscriptions will be accepted subject to the approval
of the Plan at the Special Meeting.
The period for the Subscription Offering will be not less than 20 days nor
more than 45 days unless extended by the Association. If shares of Conversion
Stock falling within the Estimated Price Range are not sold in the Subscription
Offering, completion of the sale of shares of Conversion Stock at least
sufficient to fall within the Estimated Price Range is required within 45 days
after termination of the Subscription Offering, subject to the extension of such
45 day period by the Association and the Holding Company. The Association and
the Holding Company may seek one or more extensions of such 45 day period if
necessary to complete the sale of shares at least sufficient to fall within the
Estimated Price Range. In connection with such extensions, subscribers and other
purchasers will be permitted to increase, decrease or rescind their
subscriptions or purchase orders. If for any reason the minimum amount of Common
Stock cannot be sold in the Subscription Offering and Direct Community Offering,
the Association and the Holding Company will use their best efforts to obtain
other purchasers. Completion of the sale of the minimum amount of Conversion
Stock is required within 24 months after the date of the Special Meeting. The
Holding Company will purchase all of the Capital Stock of the Association with
the net proceeds received by the Holding Company from the sale of Conversion
Stock, provided that the Holding Company may retain up to the maximum amount
permitted to be retained by the Holding Company pursuant to applicable
regulations and policy guidelines, subject to the approval of the Boards of
Directors of the Holding Company and the Association.
V. SUBMISSION TO MEMBERS FOR APPROVAL
After the approval of the Plan and the Savings and Loan Holding Company
Application by the OTS, a Special Meeting of Members to vote on the Plan shall
be held in accordance with the Association's mutual bylaws. The Association will
distribute proxy solicitation materials to all Members as of the Voting Record
Date, which Voting Record Date shall be not less than ten (10) nor more than
sixty (60) days prior to the Special Meeting. Notice of the Special Meeting
shall be given to each Member by means of the approved proxy statement not less
than twenty (20) nor more than forty-five (45) days prior to the date of the
Special Meeting. The Association shall use reasonable efforts to see that such
notice is sent to each beneficial holder of an account held in a fiduciary
capacity.
The proxy materials will include such documents authorized for use by the
regulatory authorities and may also include a prospectus as provided below. The
Association may also use a summary form of proxy statement, in which case the
Association will provide Members with an attached postage-paid postcard on which
to indicate whether the Member wishes to receive the prospectus and the
Subscription Offering will not be closed prior to the expiration of 30 days
after the mailing of the postage-paid postcard. The Association will also advise
each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder not
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting of the proposed Conversion and the
scheduled Special Meeting, and provide a postage-paid postcard on which to
indicate whether such Person wishes to receive the prospectus, if the
Subscription Offering is not held concurrently with the proxy solicitation,
provided that the Subscription Offering will not be closed prior to the
expiration of 30 days after the mailing of the postage-paid postcard.
Pursuant to OTS regulations, the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the total outstanding votes of the Association's Members will be
required for approval. Voting may be in person or by proxy. The OTS shall be
notified promptly of the action of the Association's Members.
VI. STOCK OFFERING
A. Number of Shares and Purchase Price of Conversion Stock
The aggregate price for which all shares of Conversion Stock will be sold
will be based on an independent appraisal of the estimated total pro forma
market value of the Converted Association and the Holding Company. The appraisal
shall be stated in terms of an Estimated Price Range, the maximum of which shall
be no more than 15% above the average of the minimum and maximum of such price
range and the minimum of which shall be no more than 15% below such average.
Such appraisal shall be performed in accordance with OTS guidelines and will be
updated as appropriate under or required by applicable law.
The appraisal will be made by an independent investment banking or
financial consulting firm experienced in the area of financial institution
appraisals. The appraisal will include, among other things, an analysis of the
historical and pro forma operating results and net worth of the Converted
Association and the Holding Company and a comparison of the Converted
Association and the Holding Company and the Conversion Stock with comparable
stock financial institutions and holding companies and their respective
outstanding capital stocks.
All shares of Conversion Stock sold in the Conversion will be sold at the
same price per share referred to in the Plan as the Purchase Price. The Purchase
Price will be determined by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and
of the Association prior to the filing of the Application for Approval of
Conversion with the OTS.
The number of shares of Conversion Stock to be issued and sold by the
Holding Company in the Conversion will be determined by the Boards of Directors
of the Association and the Holding Company prior to the commencement of the
Subscription Offering and will fall within a range of shares based on the
Estimated Price Range divided by the Purchase Price, subject to adjustment if
necessitated by market or financial conditions prior to consummation of the
Conversion. The total number of shares of Conversion Stock may also be subject
to increase in connection with any right granted to the Association and the
Holding Company to issue additional shares to cover over-allotments or
over-subscriptions in the Subscription Offering and Direct Community Offering;
provided that this option may not cover more than 15% of the maximum number of
shares offered in the Subscription Offering and Direct Community Offering. No
resolicitation of subscribers need be made and subscribers need not be permitted
to modify or cancel their subscriptions unless the changes in the number of
shares to be issued in the Conversion, in combination with the Purchase Price,
result in an offering which is below the low end of the Estimated Price Range or
more than 15% above the maximum of such range.
B. Subscription Rights
Non-transferable Subscription Rights to purchase shares will be issued
without payment therefor to Eligible Account Holders, any Tax-Qualified Employee
Stock Benefit Plan, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, and Other Members as
set forth below. The Association and the Holding Company may retain and pay for
the services of financial and other advisors and investment bankers to assist in
connection with any or all aspects of the Subscription Offering. All such fees,
expenses, commissions and retainers shall be reasonable.
1. Preference Category No. 1: Eligible Account Holders
Each Eligible Account Holder shall receive non-transferable Subscription
Rights to subscribe for a number of shares of Conversion Stock which shall be
determined by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and of the
Association before the Subscription Offering commences and shall be no greater
than 1.0% of the number of shares of the Conversion Stock determined by dividing
the super-maximum of the Estimated Price Range as of the date the Conversion
Stock is offered by the Purchase Price, except that any one or more
Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase in the aggregate not
more than ten percent (10%) of the shares of Conversion Stock offered in the
Conversion, and that shares held by one or more Tax-Qualified or
Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans and attributed to a Person shall
not be aggregated with other shares purchased directly by or otherwise
attributable to that Person. If sufficient shares are not available in this
Preference Category No. 1, shares may be allocated first to permit each
subscribing Eligible Account Holder to purchase the lesser of 100 shares or the
number of shares subscribed for, and thereafter pro rata in the same proportion
that his Qualifying Deposit bears to the sum of all Qualifying Deposits of all
subscribing Eligible Account Holders. The foregoing subscription rights are
subject to the rights of Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans in the event
that shares of Conversion Stock in excess of the maximum of the Estimated Price
Range are sold, as provided in section VI.B.2.
Subscription Rights to purchase Conversion Stock received by directors and
Officers of the Association and their Associates, based on their increased
deposits in the Association in the one year period preceding the Eligibility
Record Date, shall be subordinated to all other subscriptions involving the
exercise of Subscription Rights of Eligible Account Holders.
2. Preference Category No. 2: Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans
Each Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan shall receive Subscription
Rights to subscribe for the number of shares of Conversion Stock in the
Subscription Offering remaining after satisfying the subscriptions of Eligible
Account Holders provided for under Preference Category No. 1 above, requested by
any such Plan, subject to the purchase limitations set forth in Section VI. D.
of this Plan, provided, however, that if the shares of Conversion Stock sold in
the Conversion exceed the maximum of the Estimated Price Range, up to 10% of the
total offering of Conversion Stock may be sold to Tax-Qualified Employee Stock
Benefit Plans.
3. Preference Category No. 3: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders.
In the event that the Eligibility Record Date is more than 15 months prior
to the date of the latest amendment to the Application for Approval of
Conversion filed prior to OTS approval, and if there are any shares of
Conversion Stock remaining after satisfying the subscriptions of Eligible
Account Holders provided for under Preference Category No. 1 above and the
subscriptions of any Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans provided for
under Preference Category No. 2 above, then and only in that event each
Supplemental Eligible Account Holder of the Association shall receive, without
payment, Subscription Rights to purchase a number of shares of Conversion Stock
which shall be determined by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and
of the Association before the Subscription Offering commences and shall be no
greater than 1.0% of the number of shares of the Conversion Stock determined by
dividing the super-maximum of the Estimated Price Range as of the date the
Conversion Stock is offered by the Purchase Price, except that any one or more
Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase in the aggregate not
more than ten percent (10%) of the shares of Conversion Stock offered in the
Conversion, and that shares held by one or more Tax-Qualified or
Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans and attributed to a person shall
not be aggregated with other shares purchased directly by or otherwise
attributable to that Person. Any Subscription Rights received by Eligible
Account Holders in accordance with Preference Category No. 1 shall reduce to the
extent thereof the Subscription Rights granted pursuant to this Preference
Category No. 3. If sufficient shares are not available in this Preference
Category No. 3, shares may be allocated first to permit each subscribing
Supplemental Eligible Account Holder to purchase the lesser of 100 shares or the
number of shares subscribed for, and thereafter pro rata in the same proportion
that the Qualifying Deposit of the Supplemental Eligible Account Holder bears to
the total Qualifying Deposits of all subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account
Holders.
4. Preference Category No. 4: Other Members
Each Other Member shall receive non-transferable Subscription Rights to
subscribe for shares of Conversion Stock remaining after satisfying the
subscriptions of Eligible Account Holders provided for under Category No. 1
above, the subscriptions of any Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans
provided for under Category No. 2 above, and the subscriptions of Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders provided for under Category No. 3 above, subject to the
following conditions:
a. Each Other Member shall be entitled to subscribe for a number
of shares which shall be determined by the Boards of Directors of the
Holding Company and the Association before the Subscription Offering
commences and shall not exceed 1.0% of the number of shares of
Conversion Stock determined by dividing the super-maximum of the
Estimated Price Range as of the date the Conversion Stock is offered by
the Purchase Price, to the extent that stock is available, except that
any one or more Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase
in the aggregate not more than ten percent (10%) of the shares offered
in the Conversion, and that shares held by one or more Tax-Qualified or
Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans and attributed to a
Person shall not be aggregated with other shares purchased directly by
or otherwise attributable to that Person.
b. If sufficient shares are not available in this Preference
Category No. 4, shares may be allocated among subscribing Other Members
pro rata in the same proportion that the number of shares subscribed
for by each Other Member bears to the total number of shares subscribed
for by all Other Members.
If the total number of shares subscribed for in the Subscription Offering
falls within the Estimated Price Range, the Conversion may be consummated.
C. Direct Community Offering
1. If the total number of shares of Conversion Stock subscribed for in
the Subscription Offering does not fall within the Estimated Price Range,
additional shares representing up to the difference between the shares
subscribed for in the Subscription Offering and the number of shares equal
to the maximum of the Estimated Price Range may be offered for sale in a
Direct Community Offering. This will involve an offering of all
unsubscribed shares directly to the general public, giving preference to
residents of Montgomery County. The Direct Community Offering, if any,
shall be for a period of not less than 20 days nor more than 90 days unless
extended by the Association and the Holding Company, and shall commence
concurrently with, during or promptly after the Subscription Offering. The
purchase price per share to the general public in a Direct Community
Offering shall be equal to the Purchase Price. Purchase orders received
during the Direct Community Offering shall be filled up to a maximum of two
percent of the total number of shares of Conversion Stock, with any
remaining unfilled purchase orders to be allocated on an equal number of
shares basis. The Association and the Holding Company may use an investment
banking firm or firms on a best efforts basis to sell the unsubscribed
shares in the Direct Community Offering. The Association and the Holding
Company may pay a commission or other fee to the Sales Agents as to the
unsubscribed shares sold by such firm or firms in the Direct Community
Offering and may also reimburse such firm or firms for expenses incurred in
connection with the sale. Such Sales Agents may also be paid a management
fee based on shares of Conversion Stock sold in the Conversion to
compensate them for any advisory assistance they provide during the
Conversion. The Conversion Stock will be offered and sold in the Direct
Community Offering so as to achieve the widest distribution of the
Conversion Stock. The Association reserves the right to reject any orders
received in the Direct Community Offering in whole or in part.
2. If for any reason any shares remain unsold after the Subscription
Offering and Direct Community Offering, if any, the Board of Directors will
seek to make other arrangements for the sale of the remaining shares,
pursuant to procedures approved by the OTS. If such other arrangements
cannot be made, the Plan will terminate.
D. Additional Limitations Upon Purchases of Shares of Conversion Stock
The following additional limitations shall be imposed on all purchases of
Conversion Stock in the Conversion:
1. No person, by himself or herself, or with an Associate or group of
Persons acting in concert, may subscribe for or purchase more than a number
of shares of the Conversion Stock which shall be determined by the Boards
of Directors of the Holding Company and the Association before the
Subscription Offering commences and shall not exceed 1.0% of the number of
shares determined by dividing the super-maximum of the Estimated Price
Range as of the date the Conversion Stock is offered by the Purchase Price,
except that any one or more Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may
purchase in the aggregate not more than ten percent (10%) of the shares
offered in the Conversion, and shall be entitled to purchase this quantity
regardless of the number of shares to be purchased by other parties, and
that shares held by one or more Tax-Qualified or Non-Tax-Qualified Employee
Stock Benefit Plans and attributed to a Person shall not be aggregated with
shares purchased directly by or otherwise attributable to that Person.
2. Directors and Officers and their Associates may not purchase in all
categories in the Conversion an aggregate of more than 34% of the
Conversion Stock offered in the Conversion. In calculating the number of
shares which may be purchased, any shares attributable to the Officers and
directors and their Associates but held by one or more Tax-Qualified
Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall not be included.
3. The minimum number of shares of Conversion Stock that may be
purchased by any Person in the Conversion is 25 shares, provided sufficient
shares are available; provided, however, that if the Purchase Price is
greater than $20.00 per share, such minimum number of shares shall be
adjusted so that the aggregate Purchase Price will not exceed $500.00.
4. The Boards of Directors of the Association and the Holding Company
may, in their sole discretion, and without further approval of Members,
increase the maximum purchase limitation set forth in subparagraph (1)
above up to 9.99% of the Conversion Stock offered in the Conversion,
provided that orders for shares exceeding 5% of the shares of Conversion
Stock shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the shares of Conversion
Stock, except that Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase
in the aggregate up to ten percent (10%) of the Conversion Stock offered in
the Conversion and not be included in the order limit.
5. In determining the maximum percentage limitation under subparagraph
(1) above and in Sections VI.B.1, 3, and 4 the Boards of Directors of the
Association and the Holding Company may set separate limitations for each
Person together with Associates and Persons acting in concert. Such
separate limitations shall not, however, apply to any Tax-Qualified
Employee Stock Benefit Plan. The Boards of Directors of the Association and
the Holding Company may, in their sole discretion decrease the maximum
purchase limitation set forth in subparagraph (1) above, without further
approval of Members.
Subject to any required regulatory approval and the requirements of
applicable laws and regulations, the Holding Company and the Association may
increase or decrease any of the purchase limitations set forth herein at any
time. In the event that either the individual purchase limitation or the number
of shares of Conversion Stock to be sold in the Conversion, is increased after
commencement of the Subscription Offering, the Holding Company and the
Association shall permit any Person who subscribed for shares of Conversion
Stock to purchase an additional number of shares such that such Person shall be
permitted to subscribe for the then maximum number of shares permitted to be
subscribed for by such Person, subject to the rights and preferences of any
person who has priority Subscription Rights. In the event that either the
individual purchase limitation or the number of shares of Conversion Stock to be
sold in the Conversion is decreased after commencement of the Subscription
Offering, the orders of any Person who subscribed for the maximum number of
shares of Conversion Stock shall be decreased by the minimum amount necessary so
that such Person shall be in compliance with the then maximum number of shares
permitted to be subscribed for by such Person.
For purposes of this Section VI, the directors of the Association and the
Holding Company shall not be deemed to be Associates or a group acting in
concert solely as a result of their being directors of the Association or of the
Holding Company.
Each Person purchasing Conversion Stock in the Conversion shall be deemed
to confirm that such purchase does not conflict with the above purchase
limitations.
E. Restrictions and Other Characteristics of Conversion Stock Being Sold
1. Transferability. Conversion Stock purchased by Persons other than
directors and Officers of the Association or the Holding Company will be
transferable without restriction. Shares purchased by directors or Officers
of the Association or of the Holding Company shall not be sold or otherwise
disposed of for value for a period of one year from the date of Conversion,
except for any disposition of such shares (i) following the death of the
original purchaser or (ii) resulting from an exchange of securities in a
merger or acquisition approved by the applicable regulatory authorities.
Transfers that could result in a change of control of the Association or
the Holding Company or result in the ownership by any person of more than
10% of any class of the Association's or of the Holding Company's equity
securities may be subject to the prior approval of the OTS. Moreover,
transfers of Holding Company common stock are also subject to restrictions
in the Holding Company's Articles of Incorporation.
The certificates representing shares of Conversion Stock issued by
Holding Company to directors and Officers shall bear a legend giving
appropriate notice of the one year holding period restriction. The Holding
Company shall give appropriate instructions to the transfer agent for such
stock with respect to the applicable restrictions relating to the transfer
of restricted stock. Any shares subsequently issued as a stock dividend,
stock split, or otherwise with respect to any such restricted stock shall
be subject to the same holding period restrictions for directors and
Officers of the Association and of the Holding Company as may be then
applicable to such restricted stock.
No director or Officer of the Association or the Holding Company, or
Associate of such a director or Officer, shall purchase any outstanding
shares of common stock of the Holding Company for a period of three years
following the Conversion without the prior written approval of the OTS,
except from a broker or dealer registered with the SEC, in a negotiated
transaction involving more than one percent of the then outstanding shares
of common stock, pursuant to any one or more Tax-Qualified or
Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans which may be attributable to
individual Officers or directors, or pursuant to stock option and other
incentive stock plans approved by Holding Company's shareholders. As used
herein, the term negotiated transaction means a transaction in which the
securities are offered and the terms and arrangements relating to any sale
are arrived at through direct communications between the seller or any
Person acting on its behalf and the purchaser or his investment
representative. The term investment representative shall mean a
professional investment advisor acting as agent for the purchaser and
independent of the seller and not acting on behalf of the seller in
connection with the transaction.
2. Repurchase and Dividend Rights. Except as set forth below, for a
period of three years following Conversion, the Holding Company shall not
repurchase any shares of its capital stock, except in the case of an offer
approved by the OTS to repurchase on a pro rata basis made to all holders
of common stock of the Holding Company, the repurchase of qualifying shares
of a director, or a purchase on the open market by a Tax-Qualified or
Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan in an amount reasonable and
appropriate to fund the plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the foregoing, the Holding Company may repurchase its common stock to the
extent and subject to the requirements set forth in 12 C.F.R.
563b.3(g)(3), as it may be amended from time to time.
Present regulations also provide that the Converted Association may not
declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its Capital Stock if
the result thereof would be to reduce the net worth of the Converted
Association below the amount required for the liquidation account to be
established pursuant to Section XI hereof. Any dividend declared or paid
on, or repurchase of, the Converted Association's Capital Stock must also
comply with regulations adopted by the OTS setting standards for payment of
dividends and other "capital distributions" by federal stock savings
savings and loan associations insured by the FDIC set forth in 12 C.F.R.
ss. 563.134, as it may be amended from time to time.
The above limitations shall not preclude payments of dividends or
repurchases of stock by the Converted Association or by the Holding Company
in the event applicable federal regulatory limitations are liberalized
subsequent to OTS approval of the Plan.
3. Voting Rights. Upon Conversion, holders of deposit accounts and
borrowers will not have voting rights in the Converted Association or the
Holding Company. Exclusive voting rights with respect to the Converted
Association will be held and exercised by the Holding Company as holder of
the Association's Capital Stock. Voting rights with respect to the Holding
Company shall be held and exercised by the holders of the Holding Company's
common stock. Each shareholder of the Holding Company will upon Conversion
be entitled to vote on any matters coming before the shareholders of the
Holding Company for consideration and will be entitled to one vote for each
share of Holding Company common stock owned by said shareholder, except as
otherwise prescribed by law and except insofar as the Holding Company's
Articles of Incorporation may provide with respect to the cumulation of
votes for the election of directors or may limit voting rights as set forth
in Section XII hereof.
F. Exercise of Subscription Rights; Order Forms
1. The Association may commence the Subscription Offering concurrently
with the proxy solicitation for the Special Meeting. If the Subscription
Offering occurs concurrently with the solicitation of proxies for the
Special Meeting, the prospectus and Order Form may be sent to each Eligible
Account Holder, Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and Other Member at
their last known address as shown on the records of the Association.
However, the Association may furnish a prospectus and Order Form only to
Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other
Members who have returned to the Association by a specified date a postcard
or other written communication requesting a prospectus and Order Form,
provided that the Subscription Offering shall not be closed prior to the
expiration of 30 days after the mailing of the proxy solicitation material
and/or letter sent in lieu of the proxy statement to those Eligible Account
Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who are not Members on
the Voting Record Date. In such event, the Association shall provide a
postage-paid postcard for this purpose and make appropriate disclosure in
its proxy statement for the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the
Special Meeting and/or letter sent in lieu of the proxy statement to those
Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders who are
not Members on the Voting Record Date. If the Subscription Offering is not
commenced within 45 days after the Special Meeting, the Association may
transmit, no more than 30 days prior to the commencement of the
Subscription Offering, to each Eligible Account Holder, Supplemental
Eligible Account Holder and Other Member who had been furnished with proxy
solicitation materials a notice which shall state that the Association is
not required to furnish a prospectus or Order Form to them unless they
return by a reasonable date a certain postage-paid postcard or other
written communication requesting a prospectus and Order Form.
2. Each Order Form will be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus
describing the Association and the shares of Conversion Stock being offered
for subscription and containing all other information required under the
Securities Act of 1933 and by the OTS or necessary to enable Persons to
make informed investment decisions regarding the purchase of Conversion
Stock.
3. The Order Forms (or accompanying instructions) used for the
Subscription Offering will contain, among other things, the following:
(i) A clear and intelligible explanation of the Subscription Rights
granted under the Plan to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee
Stock Benefit Plans, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other
Members;
(ii) A specified expiration date by which Order Forms must be returned
to and actually received by the Association or the Holding Company or their
representative for purposes of exercising Subscription Rights, which date
will be not less than 20 days after the Order Forms are mailed;
(iii) The Purchase Price to be paid for each share subscribed for when
the Order Form is returned;
(iv) Except as otherwise provided in Section VI.D.3 hereof, a
statement that 25 shares is the minimum number of shares of Conversion
Stock that may be subscribed for under the Plan;
(v) A specifically designated blank space for indicating the number of
shares being subscribed for;
(vi) A set of detailed instructions as to how to complete the Order
Form;
(vii) Specifically designated blank spaces for dating and signing the
Order Form;
(viii)An acknowledgment that the subscriber has received the
prospectus;
(ix) A statement of the consequences of failure to properly complete
and return the Order Form, including a statement that the Subscription
Rights will expire on the expiration date specified on the Order Form
unless such expiration date is extended by the Association and the Holding
Company, and that the Subscription Rights may be exercised only by
delivering the Order Form, properly completed and executed, to the
Association or the Holding Company or their representative by the
expiration date, together with required payment of the Purchase Price for
all shares of Conversion Stock subscribed for;
(x) A statement that the Subscription Rights are non-transferable and
that all shares of Conversion Stock subscribed for upon exercise of
Subscription Rights must be purchased on behalf of the Person exercising
the Subscription Rights for his own account; and
(xi) A statement that, after receipt by the Association or the Holding
Company or their representative, a subscription may not be modified,
withdrawn or canceled without the consent of the Association and the
Holding Company.
G. Method of Payment
Payment for all shares of Conversion Stock subscribed for, computed on the
basis of the Purchase Price, must accompany all completed Order Forms. Payment
may be made in cash (if presented in person), by check, or, if the subscriber
has a deposit in the Association (including a certificate of deposit), the
subscriber may authorize the Association to charge the subscriber's account.
Payment for shares of Conversion Stock subscribed for by Tax-Qualified
Employee Stock Benefit Plans may be made with funds contributed by the
Association or the Holding Company and/or funds obtained pursuant to a loan from
an unrelated financial institution or the Holding Company pursuant to a loan
commitment which is in force from the time that any such plan submits an order
form until the closing of the Conversion.
If a subscriber authorizes the Association to charge his or her account,
the funds will continue to earn interest, but may not be used by the subscriber
until all Conversion Stock has been sold or the Plan of Conversion is
terminated, whichever is earlier. The Association will allow subscribers to
purchase shares by withdrawing funds from certificate accounts, without the
assessment of early withdrawal penalties. In the case of early withdrawal of
only a portion of such account, the certificate evidencing such account shall be
canceled if the remaining balance of the account is less than the applicable
minimum balance requirement, in which event the remaining balance will earn
interest at the then-current passbook rate. This waiver of early withdrawal
penalty is applicable only to withdrawals made in connection with the purchase
of Conversion Stock under the Plan of Conversion. Interest will also be paid, at
not less than the then current passbook rate, on all orders paid in cash or by
check or money order, from the date payment is received until consummation of
the Conversion. Payments made in cash or by check or money order will be placed
by the Association or the Holding Company in an escrow or other account
established specifically for this purpose.
In the event of an unfilled amount of any subscription order, the Converted
Association will make an appropriate refund, or cancel an appropriate portion of
the related withdrawal authorization, after consummation of the Conversion. If
for any reason the Conversion is not consummated, purchasers will have refunded
to them all payments made and all withdrawal authorizations will be canceled in
the case of subscription payments authorized from accounts at the Association.
H. Undelivered, Defective or Late Order Forms; Insufficient Payment
The Boards of Directors of the Association and the Holding Company shall
have the absolute right, in their sole discretion, to reject any Order Form,
including but not limited to, any Order Forms which (i) are not delivered or are
returned by the United States Postal Service (or the addressee cannot be
located); (ii) are not received back by the Association or the Holding Company
or their representative, or are received after termination of the date specified
thereon; (iii) are defectively completed or executed; (iv) are not accompanied
by the total required payment for the shares of Conversion Stock subscribed for
(including cases in which the subscribers' accounts in the Association are
insufficient to cover the authorized withdrawal for the required payment); (v)
are submitted by or on behalf of a person whose representations the Boards of
Directors believe to be false or who they otherwise believe, either alone or
acting in concert with others, is violating, evading or circumventing, or
intends to violate, evade or circumvent, the terms and conditions of this Plan;
or (vi) are transmitted by facsimile or accompanied by payments made by wire
transfer. In such event, the Subscription Rights of the person to whom such
rights have been granted will not be honored and will be treated as though such
Person failed to return the completed Order Form within the time period
specified therein. The Association and the Holding Company may, but will not be
required to, waive any irregularity relating to any Order Form or require
submission of corrected Order Forms or the remittance of full payment for
subscribed shares by such date as the Association or the Holding Company may
specify. The Association and the Holding Company's interpretation of the terms
and conditions of this Plan and of the proper completion of the Order Form will
be final, subject to the authority of the OTS.
I. Members in Non-Qualified States or in Foreign Countries
The Association and the Holding Company will make reasonable efforts to
comply with the securities laws of all states in the United States in which
Persons entitled to subscribe for Conversion Stock pursuant to the Plan reside.
However, the Association or the Holding Company will not be required to offer
Subscription Rights to any Person who resides in a foreign country or who
resides in a state of the United States with respect to which all of the
following apply: (i) a small number of Persons otherwise eligible to subscribe
for shares under this Plan reside in such state and (ii) the granting of
Subscription Rights or offer or sale of shares of Conversion Stock to such
Persons would require the Association or the Holding Company or their respective
Officers or directors to register, under the securities laws of such state, as a
broker, dealer, salesman or agent or to register or otherwise qualify the
Conversion Stock for sale in such state; and (iii) such registration,
qualification or filing in the judgment of the Holding Company and the
Association would be impracticable or unduly burdensome for reasons of cost or
otherwise.
VII. FEDERAL STOCK CHARTER AND BYLAWS
A. As part of the Conversion, the Association take all appropriate steps to
amend its charter to read in the form of a federal stock charter as prescribed
by the OTS for a federal stock savings and loan association. By their approval
of the Plan, the Members of the Association will thereby approve and adopt such
federal stock charter.
B. The Association will also take appropriate steps to amend its bylaws to
read in the form prescribed by the OTS for a federal stock savings and loan
association.
C. The effective date of the adoption of the Converted Association's
federal stock charter and bylaws shall be the date of the issuance and sale of
the Conversion Stock as specified by the OTS.
D. Copies of the amended charter and bylaws will be mailed to all Members
as part of the proxy materials for the Special Meeting.
VIII. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS AND EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
In order to provide an incentive for directors, Officers and employees of
the Holding Company and the Association, the Board of Directors of the Holding
Company or of the Association is authorized to adopt a stock option plan or
plans, a management recognition plan and trust, a restricted stock bonus plan,
an employee stock ownership plan and trust, and similar stock incentive plans.
Such plans (other than an employee stock ownership plan) shall be subject to
approval at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Holding Company,
and in the case of any such plans other than an employee stock ownership plan,
will be implemented no earlier than the date of such shareholder meeting to be
held no earlier than six (6) months following completion of the Conversion.
Moreover, the Boards of Directors of the Association and Holding Company are
authorized to enter into employment contracts with key employees.
IX. SECURITIES REGISTRATION AND MARKET MAKING
In connection with the Conversion, the Holding Company will register its
common stock with the SEC, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. In connection with the registration, the Holding Company will under
take not to deregister such stock, without the approval of the OTS, for a period
of three years thereafter.
The Holding Company shall use its best efforts to encourage and assist two
or more Market Makers to establish and maintain a market for its common stock
promptly following Conversion. The Holding Company will also use its best
efforts to cause its common stock to be quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System or to be listed on a national or
regional securities exchange.
X. STATUS OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS AND LOANS SUBSEQUENT TO CONVERSION
All Deposit Accounts of the Converted Association will retain the same
status after the Conversion as such Accounts had prior to the Conversion. Each
Deposit Account holder shall retain, without payment, a withdrawable Deposit
Account or Accounts in the Converted Association, equal in amount to the
withdrawable value of such account holder's Deposit Account or Accounts
immediately prior to Conversion. All Deposit Accounts will continue to be
insured by the FDIC up to the applicable limits of insurance coverage, and shall
be subject to the same terms and conditions (except as to voting and liquidation
rights) to which such Deposit Accounts were subject at the time of the
Conversion. All loans shall retain the same status after Conversion as those
loans had prior to Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as provided in
Section VI.E.3, voting rights of Deposit Account holders and borrowers will not
survive the Conversion.
XI. LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT
For purposes of granting to Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders who continue to maintain Deposit Accounts at the
Converted Association a priority in the event of a complete liquidation of the
Converted Association, the Converted Association will, at the time of
Conversion, establish a liquidation account in an amount equal to the net worth
of the Association as shown on its latest statement of financial condition
contained in the final prospectus used in connection with the Conversion. The
operation and maintenance of the liquidation account will not operate to
restrict the use or application of any of the net worth accounts of the
Converted Association; provided, however, that such net worth accounts will not
be voluntarily reduced below the required dollar amount of the liquidation
account. Each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder
shall, with respect to each Deposit Account held, have a related inchoate
interest in a portion of the liquidation account balance ("subaccount balance").
The initial subaccount balance of a Deposit Account held by an Eligible
Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall be determined by
multiplying the opening balance in the liquidation account by a fraction of
which the numerator is the amount of the Qualifying Deposit in the Deposit
Account on the Eligibility Record Date and/or the Supplemental Eligibility
Record Date of such Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account
Holder and the denominator is the total amount of the Qualifying Deposits of all
Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders on such
date(s). For savings accounts in existence at both dates, separate subaccounts
shall be determined on the basis of the Qualifying Deposits in such savings
accounts on such record dates. Such initial subaccount balance shall not be
increased, and it shall be subject to downward adjustment as provided below.
If the deposit balance in any Deposit Account of an Eligible Account Holder
or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder at the close of business on any annual
closing date subsequent to the respective record dates is less than the lesser
of (i) the deposit balance in such Deposit Account at the close of business on
any other annual closing date subsequent to the Eligibility Record Date or the
Supplemental Eligibility Record Date or (ii) the amount of the Qualifying
Deposit in such Deposit Account on the Eligibility Record Date or the
Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, the subaccount balance shall be reduced in
an amount proportionate to the reduction in such deposit balance. In the event
of a downward adjustment, the subaccount balance shall not be subsequently
increased, notwithstanding any increase in the deposit balance of the related
Deposit Account. If all funds in such Deposit Account are withdrawn, the related
subaccount balance shall be reduced to zero.
In the event of a complete liquidation of Converted Association (and only
in such event), each Eligible Account Holder and/or Supplemental Eligible
Account Holder shall be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the
liquidation account in the amount of the then-current adjusted subaccount
balances for Deposit Accounts then held before any liquidation distribution may
be made to shareholders. No merger, consolidation, bulk purchase of assets with
assumptions of Deposit Accounts and other liabilities, or similar transactions
in which the Converted Association is not the surviving institution, shall be
considered to be a complete liquidation if the surviving institution is a
qualifying institution insured by the FDIC. In such transactions, the
liquidation account shall be assumed by the surviving institution.
The Converted Association shall not be required to recompute the
liquidation account and subaccount balances provided the Converted Association
maintains records sufficient to make necessary computations in the event of a
complete liquidation or such other events as may require a computation of the
balance of the liquidation account. The liquidation subaccount of an account
holder shall be maintained for as long as the account holder maintains an
account with the same Social Security number.
XII. RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITION OF THE HOLDING COMPANY
A. Present regulations provide that for a period of three years following
completion of the Conversion, no person (i.e., individual, a group acting in
concert, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint stock company, a
trust, or any unincorporated organization or similar company, a syndicate or any
other group formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of
securities of an insured institution) shall directly or indirectly offer to
purchase or actually acquire the beneficial ownership of more than ten percent
of any class of equity security of the Holding Company without the prior
approval of the OTS. However, approval is not required for purchases directly
from the Holding Company or from underwriters or a selling group acting on its
behalf with a view toward public resale, or for purchases not exceeding one
percent per annum of the shares outstanding. Civil penalties may be imposed by
the OTS for willful violation or assistance of any violation. Where any person
directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership of more than ten percent of
Holding Company common stock outstanding within such three year period without
the prior approval of the OTS, the Holding Company stock beneficially owned by
such person in excess of ten percent shall not be counted as shares entitled to
vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in
connection with any matter submitted to the shareholders of the Holding Company
for a vote.
B. The Holding Company may provide in its Articles of Incorporation that,
for a specified period of up to five years or for an unspecified period of time
following the date of the completion of the Conversion, no person shall directly
or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than
ten percent of the outstanding Holding Company common stock. Furthermore, the
Articles of Incorporation may provide that, for a specified period of up to five
years or for an unspecified period of time following the date of the completion
of the Conversion, shares of Holding Company common stock beneficially owned in
violation of such percentage limitation shall not be entitled to vote and shall
not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any
matter submitted to the shareholders of the Holding Company for a vote. The
Holding Company may provide in its Articles of Incorporation such other
provisions affecting acquisition of Holding Company common stock or possible
changes of control of the Holding Company as shall be determined by the Holding
Company's Board of Directors.
XIII. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN
If necessary or desirable, the Plan may be amended at any time prior to
submission of the Plan and proxy materials to the Members by a two-thirds vote
of the Boards of Directors of the Association and the Holding Company. After
submission of the Plan and proxy materials to the Members, the Plan may be
amended by a two-thirds vote of the Boards of Directors of the Association and
the Holding Company only with the concurrence of the OTS or resubmission to the
Members.
The Plan may be terminated by a two-thirds vote of the Boards of Directors
of the Association and the Holding Company at any time prior to the Special
Meeting of Members, and at any time following such Special Meeting with the
concurrence of the OTS. In its discretion, the respective Boards of Directors
may modify or terminate the Plan upon the order or with the approval of the OTS,
and without a resolicitation of proxies or another meeting of Members. The Plan
shall terminate if the sale of shares of Conversion Stock falling within the
Estimated Price Range is not completed within 24 months of the date of the
Special Meeting. A specific resolution approved by a majority of the Boards of
Directors of the Association and the Holding Company is required in order for
the Association and the Holding Company to terminate the Plan prior to the end
of such 24 month period.
XIV. EXPENSES OF THE CONVERSION
The Holding Company and the Association shall use their best efforts to
assure that expenses incurred by the Association and the Holding Company in
connection with the Conversion shall be reasonable.
XV. EXTENSION OF CREDIT FOR PURCHASE OF STOCK
Neither the Association nor the Holding Company shall knowingly loan funds
or otherwise extend credit to any Person to purchase shares of Conversion Stock,
provided, however that, with the approval of the OTS, the Holding Company may be
permitted to loan funds to a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan for
purposes of acquiring shares of Conversion Stock in the Conversion.
XVI. EFFECTIVE DATE
The effective date of the Conversion shall be the date of the closing of
the sale of all shares of Conversion Stock. The closing (which shall be within
45 days after the completion of the Subscription Offering, unless the Holding
Company and the Association extend such period as provided herein) for all
shares of Conversion Stock sold in the Subscription Offering and any Direct
Community Offering shall occur simultaneously, and the closing is conditioned
upon the prior receipt of all requisite regulatory and other approvals.

shall be on file at the Principal Office or at a place identified in the Meeting
notice in the city where the Meeting will be held, and shall be available for
inspection by any Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting. On written
demand, made in good faith and for a proper purpose and describing with

Shareholder's agent or attorney authorized in writing) shall be entitled to
inspect and to copy the Shareholder List, during regular business hours and at
the Shareholder's expense, during the period the Shareholder List is available

the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a Shareholder's notice must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation, not less than 120 days prior to the Meeting; provided, however,
that in the event that less than 130 days' notice or prior public disclosure of

By-Laws, if such By-Laws have been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and if the Annual Meeting is held on such date), notice by the
Shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of

of the business desired to be brought before the Annual Meeting and the reasons
for conducting such business at the Annual Meeting, (b) the name and record
address of the Shareholders proposing such business, (c) the class and number of
shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by the Shareholder, and
(d) any material interest of the Shareholder in such business. Notwithstanding
anything in these By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an
Annual Meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 11. The Chairman of an Annual Meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine and declare to the Meeting that business was not properly brought
before the Meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, and
if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the Meeting and any such
business not properly brought before the Meeting shall not be transacted. At any
Special Meeting of the Shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as
shall have been brought before the Meeting by or at the direction of the Board
of Directors.
Section 12. Notice of Shareholder Nominees. Only persons who are nominated
in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 shall be eligible

Directors, by any nominating committee or person appointed by the Board of
Directors or by any Shareholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the
election of Directors at the Meeting who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this Section 12. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the
direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to
the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a Shareholder's notice shall be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than 120 days prior to the Meeting; provided, however, that
in the event that less than 130 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the
date of the Meeting is given or made to Shareholders (which notice or public
disclosure shall include the date of the Annual Meeting specified in these
By-Laws, if such By-Laws have been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and if the Annual Meeting is held on such date), notice by the
Shareholders to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of
the Meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Such Shareholder's
notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the Shareholder proposes to
nominate for election or re-election as a Director, (i) the name, age, business
address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or
employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person and (iv) any other
information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in
each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (including without limitation such person's written consent to being
named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if
elected); and (b) as to the Shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and
record address of such Shareholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of
the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such Shareholder. No person

Re: Federal Income Tax Opinion Relating to Conversion of Union
Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Union") from a
Federally-Chartered Mutual to a Federally- Chartered Stock
Organization
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request, set forth hereinbelow is the opinion
of this firm relating to the Federal income tax consequences of the proposed
conversion (the "Conversion") of Union from a federally-chartered mutual savings
and loan association to a federally-chartered stock savings and loan
association.
Union is a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association. As
a mutual savings and loan association, Union has no authorized capital stock.
Instead, Union, in mutual form, has a unique equity structure. A depositor of
Union is entitled to interest on his account balance as declared and paid by
Union. A depositor has no right to a distribution of any earnings of Union, but
rather these amounts become retained earnings of Union. A depositor, however,
has a right to share pro rata, with respect to the withdrawal value of his
respective account, in any liquidation proceeds distributed in the event Union
is ever liquidated. Voting rights in Union are held by its members, i.e.,
depositors and certain borrowers. Each depositor is entitled to cast one vote
for each $100 or a fraction thereof deposited in a deposit account. Each
eligible borrower member may cast one vote for each loan held. No member may
cast more than 1,000 votes. All of the interests held by a depositor in Union
cease when such depositor closes his accounts with Union.
The Board of Directors of Union has decided that in order to stimulate
the growth and expansion of Union through the raising of additional capital, it
would be advantageous for Union to convert from a federally-chartered mutual
savings and loan association to a federally-chartered stock savings and loan
association and to form an Indiana corporation ("Holding Company") to own all of
Union's issued and outstanding capital stock. It is proposed pursuant to a plan
of Conversion (the
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 2
"Plan") that Union's charter to operate as a mutual savings and loan association
be amended and a new charter be acquired to allow it to continue its operations
in the form of a stock savings and loan association ("Converted Association").
Under the Plan, Union will issue shares of its capital stock to Holding Company
in exchange for all but 50% of the net proceeds derived from the sale of Holding
Company's common stock, without par value ("Common Stock"), to members of Union
and certain members of the public through a subscription and community offering,
if necessary. The Plan must be approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") and by an affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total votes
eligible to be cast at a meeting of Union's members called to vote on the Plan.
Following authorization, the Plan provides for the issuance of shares
of Common Stock. The aggregate purchase price at which all shares of Common
Stock will be offered and sold pursuant to the Plan will be equal to the
estimated pro forma market value of Union at the time of conversion. The
estimated pro forma market value will be determined by an independent appraiser.
Pursuant to the Plan, all such shares will be issued and sold at a uniform price
per share.
As required by OTS regulations, shares of Common Stock will be offered
pursuant to non-transferable subscription rights on the basis of preference
categories. No subscriber will be allowed to purchase fewer than 25 shares of
Common Stock. Union has established four preference categories under which
shares of Common Stock may be purchased and a direct community offering category
for the sale of shares not purchased under the preference categories.
The first category of preference is reserved for Union's eligible
account holders. The Plan defines "eligible account holders" as any person
holding a qualifying deposit. The Plan defines "qualifying deposit" as the
aggregate balance of all savings and deposit accounts of an eligible account
holder in Union at the close of business on December 31, 1995, provided such
aggregate balance is not less than $50.00. Once a Union savings account holder
qualifies as an eligible account holder, he will receive, without payment,
non-transferable subscription rights to purchase Common Stock. Subject to
certain limited exceptions, the maximum number of shares that each eligible
account holder may subscribe for in his capacity as such is 20,000 , subject to
a 30,417 maximum for each such account holder and his Associates (as defined in
the Plan) or group of persons acting in concert. If there is an
oversubscription, shares will be allocated among subscribing eligible account
holders so as to permit each such account holder, to the extent possible, to
purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his total allocation equal to 100
shares. Any shares not then allocated shall be allocated among the subscribing
eligible account holders in the proportion that their qualifying deposits bear
to the total qualifying deposits of eligible account holders on the eligibility
record date. Non-transferable subscription rights to purchase Common Stock
received by officers and directors
<PAGE>

of Union and their Associates based on their increased deposits in Union in the
one-year period preceding the eligibility record date shall be subordinated to
all other subscriptions involving the exercise of nontransferable subscription
rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the first preference category.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Common Stock in excess of the maximum
of the valuation range of shares offered in the Conversion may be sold to the
second category of preference before fully satisfying the subscriptions of
eligible account holders.
The second category of preference is reserved for the Holding Company's
employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP") to be established at the time of the
Conversion. This category may subscribe for up to 10% of the shares sold in the
Conversion; provided that shares remain available after satisfying the
subscription rights of eligible account holders up to the maximum of the
valuation range of shares offered in the Conversion. It is anticipated that the
ESOP will subscribe for 8% of the shares sold in the Conversion pursuant to this
category of preference; provided that in no event will it subscribe for more
than 160,000 shares of Common Stock.
The third category of preference is reserved for Union's supplemental
eligible account holders. These are persons holding savings and deposit accounts
at Union at the close of business on September 30, 1997, with an aggregate
balance of not less than $50.00. If there is not subscription for all of the
Common Stock in the first and second preference categories, supplemental
eligible account holders will receive, without payment, non-transferable
subscription rights to purchase Common Stock. Subject to certain limited
exceptions, the maximum number of shares that each supplemental eligible account
holder may subscribe for in his capacity as such is 20,000, subject to a 30,417
maximum for each such account holder and his Associates or group of persons
acting in concert. Any subscription rights received by eligible account holders
in accordance with the first category of preference will reduce to the extent
thereof the subscription rights granted in this third category of preference. If
there is an oversubscription, shares will be allocated among subscribing
supplemental eligible account holders so as to permit each such account holder,
to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his
total allocation equal to 100 shares. Any shares not then allocated shall be
allocated to supplemental eligible account holders in the proportion that their
qualifying deposits bear to the qualifying deposits of all subscribing
supplemental eligible account holders.
If there is not subscription for all of the Common Stock in the first,
second and third preference categories, the fourth preference category,
consisting of members of Union as of the record date for the special meeting of
members at which the Plan will be submitted for approval who are not eligible
account holders or supplemental eligible account holders ("Other Members"), will
receive, without payment, non-transferable subscription rights entitling them to
purchase Common
<PAGE>

Stock. Subject to certain limited exceptions, each Other Member shall receive
subscription rights to purchase up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock in his
capacity as such, subject to a 30,417 maximum for each such member and his
Associates or group of persons acting in concert, to the extent that such stock
is available after satisfaction of the first, second and third preference
categories. In the event of an oversubscription by Other Members, shares will be
allocated pro rata in the same proportion that the number of shares subscribed
for by each Other Member bears to the total number of shares subscribed for by
all Other Members.
If there are shares of Common Stock available after the first, second,
third and fourth preference categories have been exhausted, it is anticipated
that they will be sold to members of the general public in a best efforts direct
community offering, giving preference to residents of Montgomery County. The
maximum number of shares which may be purchased in this Community Offering by
any person (including his Associates) or persons acting in concert is 20,000
shares of Common Stock. A person with subscription rights who, together with his
Associates and persons acting in concert, has subscribed for shares in the
Subscription Offering, may subscribe for additional shares in the Community
Offering that do not exceed the lesser of (i) 20,000 shares or (iii) the number
of shares which, when added to the number of shares subscribed for by such
person and his Associates and persons acting in concert would not exceed 30,417
shares.
Union's Board of Directors may increase the maximum purchase
limitations in the Plan up to 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock offered in the
Conversion, provided that orders for Common Stock exceeding 5% of the total
offering may not exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the total offering. Officers
and directors of Union and their Associates may not purchase in the aggregate
more than 34% of the shares offered pursuant to the Plan. Directors of Union
will not be deemed Associates or a group acting in concert solely as a result of
their membership on the Board of Directors of Union. All of the shares of Common
Stock purchased by officers and directors will be subject to certain
restrictions on sale for a period of one year. In order to achieve the widest
distribution of the stock in the Community Offering, orders for stock shall be
filled up to a maximum of 2% of the Common Stock and thereafter remaining shares
shall be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order until all orders
have been filled. The overall purchase limitation may be reduced to any number
to a minimum of 1% of the shares sold in the Conversion, in the sole discretion
of the Board of Directors of Union.
The Plan provides that no person will be issued any subscription rights
or be permitted to purchase any Common Stock if such person resides in a foreign
country or in a state of the United States with respect to which all of the
following apply: (a) a small number of persons otherwise eligible to subscribe
for shares under this Plan reside in such state; (b) the issuance of
subscription
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 5
rights or the offer or sale of the Common Stock to such persons would require
Union or the Holding Company or their respective officers or directors under the
securities law of such state to register as a broker or dealer or to register or
otherwise qualify its securities for sale in such state; and (c) such
registration or qualification would be impracticable for reasons of cost or
otherwise.
The Plan also provides for the establishment of a liquidation account
by Union. The liquidation account will be equal in amount to the net worth of
Union near the time of conversion. The establishment of the liquidation account
will not operate to restrict the use or application of any of the net worth
accounts of Converted Association, except that Converted Association will not
voluntarily reduce the net worth accounts if the result thereof would be to
reduce its net worth below the amount required to maintain the liquidation
account. The liquidation account will be for the benefit of Union's eligible
account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain accounts
in Union at the time of conversion. All such account holders, including those
account holders not entitled to subscription rights for reasons of foreign or
out-of-state residency (as described above), will have an interest in the
liquidation account. The interest such account holder will have is a right to
receive, in the event of a complete liquidation of Converted Association, a
liquidating distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then
current adjusted subaccount balances for deposit accounts then held, prior to
any liquidation distribution being made with respect to capital stock.
The initial subaccount balance for a deposit account held by an
eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder shall be
determined by multiplying the opening balance in the liquidation account by a
fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the qualifying deposit in the
deposit account and the denominator is the total amount of qualifying deposits
of all eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders in
Union. The initial subaccount balance will never be increased, but may be
decreased if the deposit balance in any qualifying savings account of any
eligible account holder or supplemental eligible account holder on any annual
closing date subsequent to the eligibility record date or supplemental
eligibility record date is less than the lesser of (1) the deposit balance in
the savings account at the close of business on any other annual closing date
subsequent to the eligibility record date or supplemental eligibility record
date, or (2) the amount of the qualifying deposit in such deposit account. In
such event, the subaccount balance for the deposit account will be adjusted by
reducing each subaccount balance in an amount proportionate to the reduction in
the deposit balance. Once decreased, the Plan provides that the subaccount
balance may never be subsequently increased, and if the deposit account of an
eligible account holder or supplemental eligible account holder is closed, the
related subaccount balance in the liquidation account will be reduced to zero.

Following the Conversion, voting rights with respect to Converted
Association will rest with Holding Company, and with respect to Holding Company
will rest exclusively with the holders of Common Stock. The Conversion will not
interrupt the business of Union, and its business will continue as usual by
Converted Association. Each depositor will retain a withdrawable savings or
deposit account or accounts equal in amount to the withdrawable account at the
time of conversion. Mortgage loans of Union will remain unchanged and retain
their same characteristics in Converted Association after the conversion. The
Converted Association will continue the membership of Union in the Savings
Association Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") and the Federal Home Loan Bank System, and will remain subject to the
regulatory authority of the OTS and the FDIC.
It is anticipated that on a date which is at least six months following
the Conversion, Holding Company and/or the Association will adopt a stock option
plan and a "recognition and retention" plan and trust ("RRP"). A number of
shares of Common Stock equal to four percent (4.0%) of the shares of Common
Stock sold in the Conversion will be reserved to fund the RRP and a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the
Conversion will be reserved for stock option grants under the stock option plan.
In addition, the Converted Association will establish an employee stock
ownership plan and trust for the benefit of its employees at the time of the
Conversion. The stock option plan, RRP and employee stock ownership plan are
referred to collectively herein as the "Employee Plans." Additionally, Holding
Company will adopt certain "anti-takeover provisions" in its proposed Articles
of Incorporation and Code of By-Laws.
We have received, and are relying upon, certificates of certain
officers of Union to the effect that:
a. Converted Association has no plan or intention to redeem or
otherwise acquire any of its capital stock issued to Holding
Company in connection with the Conversion.
b. Immediately following consummation of the Conversion,
Converted Association will possess the same assets and
liabilities as Union held immediately prior to the proposed
transaction, plus all but 50% of the net proceeds from the
sale of Common Stock.
c. Converted Association has no plan or intention to sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the assets of Union acquired in
the Conversion, except for dispositions in the ordinary course
of business.
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association

Page 7
d. Following the Conversion, Converted Association will continue
to engage in the same business in substantially the same
manner as engaged in by Union before the Conversion.
e. The aggregate fair market value of the qualifying deposits (as
defined in the Plan) held by eligible account holders as of
the close of business on December 31, 1995, and by
supplemental eligible account holders on September 30, 1997,
equaled or exceeded or will equal or exceed 99% of the
aggregate fair market value of all savings accounts in Union
(including accounts of less than $50) at the close of business
on such respective dates.
f. No shares of Common Stock will be issued to or be purchased by
depositor-employees at a discount or as compensation in the
Conversion, although shares may be purchased at fair market
value by the RRP and the ESOP established in connection with
the Conversion.
g. No cash or property will be given to eligible account holders,
supplemental eligible account holders or Other Members in lieu
of (a) non-transferable subscription rights or (b) an interest
in the liquidation account of Converted Association.
h. Union is not under the jurisdiction of a court in any Title 11
or similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
i. At the time of the Conversion the fair market value of the
assets of Union on a going concern basis will exceed the
amount of its liabilities plus the amount of liabilities to
which the assets are subject. All such liabilities were
incurred in the ordinary course of business and are associated
with the assets transferred. Immediately before the
Conversion, Union will have a positive net worth.
j. Union has received or will receive an opinion from RP
Financial, LLC, which concludes that the subscription rights
to be received by eligible subscribers have no economic value
at the date of distribution or the time of exercise whether or
not a public offering takes place (the "RP Financial
Opinion"). The exercise price of the subscription rights will
be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock at the time of the Conversion.
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 8
k. Holding Company has no plan or intention to sell or otherwise
dispose of the capital stock of Converted Association received
by it in the proposed transaction, and there is no plan or
intention for Converted Association to be liquidated or merged
with another corporation following the transaction.
l. The fair market value of the withdrawable deposit accounts in
Converted Association (plus the related interest in the
Converted Association liquidation account) to be
constructively received under the Plan by the eligible account
holders and supplemental eligible account holders of Union
will, in each instance, be approximately equal to the fair
market value of Union's deposit accounts (plus the related
interest in the Union liquidation account) surrendered in
constructive exchange by them. All proprietary rights in Union
form an integral part of the withdrawable savings accounts
being surrendered in the exchange.
m. Union utilizes a reserve for bad debts in accordance with
Section 593 of the Code, and following the Conversion,
Converted Association shall likewise continue to utilize a
reserve for bad debts in accordance with Section 593 of the
Code.
n. Holding Company, Union and Converted Association are
corporations within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the
Code. Union and Converted Association are domestic building
and loan associations within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code.
o. Union deposit account holders and Other Members will pay
expenses of the Conversion solely attributable to them, if
any. Union and Holding Company will each pay its own expenses
of the Conversion and will not pay any expenses solely
attributable to the deposit account holders, Other Members or
the holders of Common Stock.
p. Immediately following the Conversion, the former depositors of
Union will own all of the outstanding interests in the
Converted Association liquidation account and will own such
interests solely by reason of their ownership of deposits at
Union (including the attendant rights to liquidation proceeds)
immediately before the Conversion.
q. Assets of Union used to pay expenses of the Conversion
(without reference to expenses of the offering or sale of the
Common Stock) and to make distributions (other than regular,
normal interest payments) will, in the aggregate, constitute
less
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 9
than 1% of the net assets of Union. Any such expenses or
distributions will be paid or reimbursed from proceeds of the
sale of the Common Stock.
r. At the time of the Conversion, Union will not have outstanding
any warrants, options, convertible securities, or any other
type of right pursuant to which any person could acquire stock
in Converted Association.
s. No account holder of Union who is eligible to receive an
interest in the Converted Association liquidation account will
be excluded from participation in the Converted Association
liquidation account.
t. Holding Company has no plan or intention to redeem or
otherwise reacquire any of the Common Stock issued in the
proposed transaction.
u. Neither the Common Stock nor the stock of Converted
Association issued pursuant to the proposed transactions will
be callable or subject to a put option (except as required
under any Employee Plan).
v. None of the compensation received by a Union employee who is
also an eligible account holder, supplemental eligible account
holder, or Other Member will be separate consideration for, or
allocable to, his or her status as eligible account holder,
supplemental eligible account holder, or Other Member; none of
the Common Stock or interests in the liquidation account of
Converted Association received by any such employee will be
separate consideration for, or allocable to, any employment
agreement or arrangement (other than an Employee Plan); and
the compensation paid to the employee will be for services
actually rendered and will be commensurate with the
compensation that would be paid to third parties bargaining at
arm's length for similar services.
w. There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between
Holding Company and Union that was issued or acquired, or will
be settled, at a discount.
x. Holding Company is not an investment company as described in
Section 351(e) of the Code.
y. The principal amount, interest rate and maturity date of each
deposit account in Converted Association received by a Union
eligible account holder or supplemental
<PAGE>

Union Federal Savings and Loan Association

Page 10
eligible account holder are identical to those of the
corresponding Union deposit account that was held by the
account holder immediately prior to the Conversion.
OPINION OF COUNSEL
Based solely upon the foregoing information, including the RP Financial
Opinion, the provisions of the Code, the regulations thereunder and such other
authorities as we have deemed appropriate to consider, all as in effect on the
date hereof, our opinion is as follows:
(1) The change in the form of Union from a federally-chartered
mutual savings and loan association to a federally-chartered
stock savings and loan association, as described above, will
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and no gain or loss will be
recognized to either Union or to Converted Association as a
result of such Conversion (see Rev. Rul. 80-105, 1980-1 C.B.
78). Union and Converted Association will each be a party to a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the
Code (Rev. Rul. 72-206, 1972-1 C.B. 105).
(2) No gain or loss will be recognized by Converted Association on
the receipt of money and other property, if any, from Holding
Company in exchange for shares of Converted Association's
capital stock (Section 1032(a) of the Code).
(3) No gain or loss will be recognized by Holding Company upon the
receipt of money for Common Stock (Section 1032(a) of the
Code).
(4) The assets of Union will have the same basis in the hands of
Converted Association as in the hands of Union immediately
prior to the Conversion (Section 362(b) of the Code).
(5) The holding period of the assets of Union to be received by
Converted Association will include the period during which the
assets were held by Union prior to the Conversion (Section
1223(2) of the Code).
(6) Depositors will realize gain, if any, upon the constructive
issuance to them of withdrawable deposit accounts of Converted
Association, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase
Common Stock, and/or interests in the liquidation account of
Converted Association. Any gain resulting therefrom will be
recognized,
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 11
but only in an amount not in excess of the fair market value
of the subscription rights and interests in the liquidation
accounts received. The liquidation accounts will have nominal,
if any, fair market value. See Paulsen v. Commissioner, 469
U.S. 131, 139 (1985), quoting Society for Savings v. Bowers,
349 U.S. 143 (1955); but see Rev. Rul. 69-3, 1969-1 C.B. 103
and Rev. Rul. 69-646, 1969-2 C.B. 54 (the interest received
rises to the level of "stock" and thus, in some circumstances,
Section 354 of the Code applies). Based solely on the accuracy
of the conclusion reached in the RP Financial Opinion, and our
reliance on such opinion, that the subscription rights have no
economic value at the time of distribution or exercise, no
gain or loss will be required to be recognized by eligible
account holders or supplemental eligible account holders upon
receipt or distribution of subscription rights. (Section 1001
of the Code.) Similarly, based solely on the accuracy of the
aforesaid conclusion reached in the RP Financial Opinion and
our reliance thereon, we give the following opinions: (a) no
taxable income will be recognized by the Other Members of
Union upon the distribution to them of subscription rights or
upon the exercise of the subscription rights to acquire Common
Stock at fair market value; (b) no taxable income will be
realized by the depositors or borrowers of Union as a result
of the exercise of the non-transferable subscription rights to
purchase Common Stock at fair market value, Rev. Rul. 56-572,
1956-2 C.B. 182; and (c) no taxable income will be realized by
Converted Association, Union or Holding Company on the
issuance or distribution of subscription rights to depositors
and borrowers of Union to purchase shares of Common Stock at
fair market value. Section 311 of the Code.
(7) A depositor's basis in the deposits of Converted Association
will be the same as the basis of such depositor's deposits in
Union. Section 1012 of the Code. The basis of the
non-transferable subscription rights will be zero increased by
the amount of gain, if any, recognized on their receipt. The
basis of the interest in the liquidation account of Converted
Association received by eligible account holders and
supplemental eligible account holders will be equal to the
cost of such property, i.e., the fair market value of the
proprietary interest in Converted Association received in
exchange for the proprietary interest in Union, which in this
transaction we assume to be zero.
(8) The basis of the Holding Company Common Stock to its
shareholders will be the purchase price thereof, plus, in the
case of stock acquired by the exercise of subscription rights,
the basis, if any, in the subscription rights exercised.
Section 1012 of the Code.
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 12
(9) A shareholder's holding period for Common Stock acquired
through the exercise of the non-transferable subscription
rights shall begin on the date on which the subscription
rights are exercised. Section 1223(6) of the Code. The holding
period of the Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Community
Offering will commence on the date following the date on which
the stock is purchased. Rev. Rul. 70-598, 1970-2 C.B. 168;
Rev. Rul. 66-97, 1966-1 C.B. 190.
(10) The part of the taxable year of Union before the Conversion
and the part of the taxable year of Converted Association
after the Conversion will constitute a single taxable year of
Converted Association. (See Rev. Rul. 57-276, 1957-1 C.B.
126). Consequently, Union will not be required to file a
federal income tax return for any short portion of such
taxable year (Section 1.381(b)-1(a)(2) of the Income Tax
Regulations).
(11) Converted Association will succeed to and take into account
the earnings and profits or deficit in earnings and profits of
Union as of the date or dates of Conversion. (Section
381(c)(2) of the Code and Section 1.381(c)(2)-1 of the Income
Tax Regulations.)
(12) Regardless of book entries made for the creation of the
liquidation account, the Conversion will not diminish the
accumulated earnings and profits of the Converted Association
available for the subsequent distribution of dividends within
the meaning of Section 316 of the Code (Sections 1.312-11(b)
and (c) of the Income Tax Regulations). The creation of the
liquidation account on the records of Converted Association
will have no effect on its taxable income, deductions for
addition to reserve for bad debts under Section 593 of the
Code, or distributions to shareholders under Section 593(e) of
the Code (Rev. Rul. 68-475, 1968-2 C.B. 259).
(13) Converted Association will succeed to and take into account,
immediately after the Conversion, those accounts of Union
which represent bad debt reserves in respect of which Union
has taken a bad debt deduction for taxable years ending on or
before the date of the Conversion. The bad debt reserves will
not be required to be restored to the gross income of either
Union or Converted Association solely as a result of the
Conversion, and such bad debt reserves will have the same
character in the hands of the Converted Association as they
would have had in the hands of Union if no distribution or
Conversion had occurred. (Section 381(c)(4) of the Code and
Section 1.381(c)(4)-1(a)(1)(ii) of the Income Tax
Regulations.) No opinion is being
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
October 30, 1997
Page 13
expressed as to whether the bad debt reserves will be required
to be restored to the gross income of either Union or
Converted Association for the taxable year of the transfer as
a result of the requirements of Section 593(g) of the Code.
(14) Inasmuch as the Conversion constitutes a tax-free
reorganization for federal income tax purposes, Union will not
incur any liability for Indiana adjusted gross income tax,
financial institutions tax, supplemental net income tax,
county adjusted gross income tax or county option income tax
as a result of the Conversion. Union will not incur any
Indiana gross income tax liability as a result of the
Conversion. Amounts received by Holding Company in exchange
for the issuance of Common Stock and amounts received by
Converted Association in exchange for the issuance of its
capital stock will constitute contributions to capital which
are exempt from the gross income tax.
(15) Assuming that the interests in the liquidation account and the
subscription rights that will be constructively issued to them
as a part of the Plan have nominal, if any, fair market value,
depositors will incur no liability for Indiana gross income
tax, adjusted gross income tax, financial institutions tax,
county adjusted gross income tax or county option income tax
as a result of the Conversion.
(16) Following the Conversion, the Converted Association will
continue to be subject to the Indiana financial institutions
tax.
Our opinion on the above issues is based on information and
representations provided by officers of Union on behalf of Union and its
members. Neither the Internal Revenue Service nor the Indiana Department of
Revenue has ruled on these issues and our opinion is not binding on either
agency. The Internal Revenue Service or the Indiana Department of Revenue could
take a position contrary to that expressed in this opinion on some or all of the
above issues, and such a position if ultimately sustained could result in
adverse tax consequences to Union or its members.

Conversion under any federal, state, local or foreign tax laws except as
specifically provided above.

further that if the Trustee is required to purchase such shares on the open
market or from the Holding Company for an amount per share greater than the
price per share at which shares were trading on the date the contributions
therefor were made to the Trust, the Association shall have the discretion to
reduce the number of shares to be awarded and purchased. The Trust may hold cash
in interest-bearing accounts pending investment in Common Stock for periods of
not more than one year after deposit. The Trustee, in accordance with applicable
rules and regulations and Section 5.01 hereof, shall purchase shares of Common
Stock in the open market and/or shall purchase authorized but unissued shares of
the Common Stock from the Holding Company sufficient to acquire the requisite
percentage of shares. Any earnings received or distributions paid with respect
to Common Stock held in the Plan Share Reserve shall be held in an
interest-bearing account. Any earnings received or distributions paid with
respect to Common Stock subject to a Plan Share Award shall be held in an
interest-bearing account on behalf of the individual Recipient.
5.04 Effect of Allocations, Returns and Forfeitures Upon Plan Share
Reserves. Upon the allocation of Plan Share Awards under Sections 6.02 and 6.03
after acquisition by the Trustee of such shares, or the decision of the
Committee to return Plan Shares to the Holding Company, the Plan Share Reserve
shall be reduced by the number of Plan Shares so allocated or returned. Any
shares subject to an Award which may not be earned because of a forfeiture by
the Recipient pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be returned (added) to the Plan
Share Reserve.
ARTICLE VI
ELIGIBILITY; ALLOCATIONS
6.01 Eligibility. Employees and Outside Directors are eligible to receive
Plan Share Awards provided in Section 6.02.
6.02 Allocations. The Committee may determine which of the Employees and
Outside Directors referenced in Section 6.01 above will be granted Plan Share
Awards and the number of Plan Shares covered by each Award, including grants
effective upon the First Shareholder Meeting Date, provided, however, that the
number of Plan Shares covered by such Awards may not exceed the number of Plan
Shares in the Plan Share Reserve immediately prior to the grant of such Awards,
and provided further, that in no event shall any Awards be made which will
violate the Charter, Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or Plan of Conversion of
the Holding Company or the Association or any applicable federal or state law or
regulation and provided further that Awards may not be granted at any time in
which the Association fails to meet its applicable minimum capital requirements.
In the event Plan Shares are forfeited for any reason and unless the Committee
decides to return the Plan Shares to the Holding Company, the Committee may,
from time to time, determine which of the Employees or Outside Directors
referenced in Section 6.01 above will be granted additional Plan Share Awards to
be awarded from forfeited Plan Shares. In selecting those Employees or Outside
Directors to whom Plan Share Awards will be granted and the number of Plan
Shares covered by such Awards, the Committee shall consider the position and
responsibilities of the eligible Employees or Outside Directors, the length and
value of their services to the Association and its Affiliates, the compensation
paid to such Employees or Outside Directors, and any other factors the Committee
may deem relevant.
6.03 Form of Allocation. As promptly as practicable after a determination
is made pursuant to Section 6.02 that a Plan Share Award is to be made, the
Committee shall notify the Recipient in writing of the grant of the Award, the
number of Plan Shares covered by the Award, and the terms upon which the Plan
Shares subject to the Award may be earned. The stock certificates for Plan Share
Awards shall be registered in the name of the Recipient until forfeited or
transferred to the Recipient after such Award has been earned. The Committee
shall maintain records as to all grants of Plan Share Awards under the Plan.
6.04 Allocations Not Required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Sections 6.01 and 6.02, no Employee or Outside Director shall have any right or
entitlement to receive a Plan Share Award hereunder, such Awards being at the
total discretion of the Committee, nor shall the Employees or Outside Directors
as a group have such a right. The Committee may, with the approval of the Board
(or, if so directed by the Board, shall) return all Common Stock in the Plan
Share Reserve not yet allocated to the Holding Company at any time, and cease
issuing Plan Share Awards.
6.05. Distribution Election Before Plan Shares Are Earned. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, an Employee or an Outside
Director who has received an allocation of Plan Shares in accordance with
Article VI may request in writing that the Committee authorize the distribution
to him or her of all or a portion of the Plan Shares awarded before the date on
which the Plan Shares become earned in accordance with Article VII. The decision
as to whether to distribute to any Employee or Outside Director who requests
distribution shall be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion. In
addition, the distribution shall be subject to the following parameters:
(a) The Committee shall be required to make a separate determination
for each request received by an Employee or Outside Director for
distribution.
(b) Any Plan Shares awarded shall be required to have a legend on the
Plan Shares confirming that the Plan Shares are subject to
restriction and transfer in accordance with the terms set forth in
the Plan. This legend may not be removed until the date that the
Plan Shares become earned in accordance with Article VII.
(c) The Plan Shares distributed shall be voted by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 7.04.
(d) Any cash dividends or other cash distributions paid with respect
to the Plan Shares before the date that the Plan Shares are earned
shall be paid to the Trustee to be held for the Employee or
Outside Director, whichever is applicable, until the date that the
Plan Shares are earned.
(e) At the date on which the Plan Shares are earned, the Trustee may
withhold from any cash dividends or other cash distributions held
on behalf of such Employee or Outside Director the amount needed
to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes arising
at the time that the Plan Shares are earned. If the amount of such
cash dividends or distributions is insufficient, the Trustee may
require the Employee or Outside Director to pay to the Trustee the
amount required to be withheld as a condition of removing the
legend on the Plan Shares.
ARTICLE VII
EARNING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN SHARES; VOTING RIGHTS
7.01 Earning Plan Shares; Forfeitures.
(a) General Rules. Plan Shares subject to an Award shall be earned by a
Recipient at the rate of twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number
of Shares covered by the Award at the end of each full twelve months
of consecutive service with the Association or an Affiliate after the
date of grant of the Award. If the term of service of a Recipient
terminates as an Employee, as a Director and as a Director Emeritus
prior to the fifth anniversary (or such later date as the Committee
shall determine) of the date of grant of an Award for any reason
(except as specifically provided in Subsection (b) below or in Section
4.01 hereof), the Recipient shall forfeit the right to earn any Shares
subject to the Award which have not theretofore been earned.
In determining the number of Plan Shares which are earned, fractional
shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, provided
that such fractional shares shall be aggregated and earned, on the
fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
(b) Exception for Terminations due to Death and Disability.
Notwithstanding the general rule contained in Section 7.01(a) above,
all Plan Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient
whose term of service as an Employee and as a Director or Director
Emeritus with the Holding Company, Association or an Affiliate
terminates due to death or Disability shall be deemed earned as of the
Recipient's last day of service with the Holding Company, Association
or an Affiliate as a result of such death or Disability. If the
Recipient's service as an Employee and as a Director or Director
Emeritus terminates due to Disability within one year of the effective
date of the Conversion, the Shares earned by the Recipient may not be
disposed of by the Recipient during the one-year period following the
Conversion, and stock certificate legends to that effect may be placed
on the stock certificates for any such shares.
(c) Revocation for Misconduct. Notwithstanding anything hereinafter to the
contrary, the Board may by resolution immediately revoke, rescind and
terminate any Plan Share Award, or portion thereof, previously awarded
under this Plan, to the extent Plan Shares have not been delivered
thereunder to the Recipient, whether or not yet earned, in the case of
an Employee who is discharged from the employ of the Holding Company,
Association or an Affiliate for cause (as hereinafter defined), or who
is discovered after termination of employment to have engaged in
conduct that would have justified termination for cause or, in the
case of an Outside Director who is removed from the Board of Directors
of the Association and the Holding Company or an Affiliate for cause
(as hereinafter defined), or who is discovered after termination of
service as an Outside Director to have engaged in conduct which would
have justified removal for cause. "Cause" is defined as personal
dishonesty, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving
personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, or the
willful violation of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or order which results in a loss to
the Holding Company, Association or any Affiliate or in a final cease
and desist order.
7.02 Accrual of Dividends. Whenever Plan Shares are paid to a Recipient or
Beneficiary under Section 7.03, such Recipient or Beneficiary shall also be
entitled to receive, with respect to each Plan Share paid, an amount equal to
any cash dividends or cash distributions and a number of shares of Common Stock
or other assets equal to any stock dividends and any other assets distributions
declared and paid with respect to a share of Common Stock between the date the
Plan Shares are being distributed and the date the Plan Shares were granted.
There shall also be distributed an appropriate amount of net earnings, if any,
of the Trust with respect to any cash dividends or cash distributions so paid
out. Until the Plan Shares are vested and distributed to any such Recipient or
Beneficiary, such dividends, distributions and net earnings thereon, if any,
shall be retained by the Trust.
7.03 Distribution of Plan Shares.
(a) Timing of Distributions: General Rule. Plan Shares shall be
distributed to the Recipient or his Beneficiary, as the case may be,
as soon as practicable after they have been earned.
(b) Form of Distribution. All Plan Shares, together with any shares
representing stock dividends, shall be distributed in the form of
Common Stock. One share of Common Stock shall be given for each Plan
Share earned and payable. Payments representing accumulated cash
dividends and cash or other distributions (and earnings thereon) shall
be made in cash or in the form of such non-cash distributions.
(c) Withholding. The Trustee may withhold from any payment or distribution
made under this Plan sufficient amounts of cash or shares of Common
Stock to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes, and if
the amount of such payment is insufficient, the Trustee may require
the Recipient or Beneficiary to pay to the Trustee the amount required
to be withheld as a condition of delivering the Plan Shares.
Alternatively, a Recipient may pay to the Trustee that amount of cash
necessary to be withheld in taxes in lieu of any withholding of
payments or distribution under the Plan. The Trustee shall pay over to
the Holding Company, the Association or Affiliate which employs or
employed such Recipient any such amount withheld from or paid by the
Recipient or Beneficiary.
(d) Cessation of Payment. The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to
Recipients or, if applicable, their Beneficiaries in the event of the
Association's insolvency. The Association shall be considered
insolvent for purposes of this RRP if the Association is unable to pay
its debts as they become due or if a receiver is appointed for the
Association under applicable law. If payments cease by reason of this
subsection, payments will be resumed, with appropriate make-up
payments, once the Association ceases to be insolvent but only to the
extent the payments were not made directly by the Association or its
Affiliates.
7.04 Voting of Plan Shares. All shares of Common Stock held by the Trust
shall be voted by the Trustee, taking into account the best interests of the
Plan Share Award recipients.
ARTICLE VIII
TRUST
8.01 Trust. The Trustee shall receive, hold, administer, invest and make
distributions and disbursements from the Trust in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan and Trust and the applicable directions, rules, regulations,
procedures and policies established by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.
8.02 Management of Trust. It is the intent of this Plan and Trust that,
subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Trustee shall have complete
authority and discretion with respect to the management, control and investment
of the Trust, and that the Trustee shall invest all assets of the Trust, except
those attributable to cash dividends paid with respect to Plan Shares, in Common
Stock to the fullest extent practicable, and except to the extent that the
Trustee determines that the holding of monies in cash or cash equivalents is
necessary to meet the obligation of the Trust. Neither the Holding Company, the
Association, nor any Affiliate shall exercise any direct or indirect control or
influence over the time when, or the prices at which, the Trustee may purchase
such shares, the number of shares to be purchased, the manner in which the
shares are to be purchased, or the broker (if any) through whom the purchases
may be executed. In performing its duties, the Trustee shall have the power to
do all things and execute such instruments as may be deemed necessary or proper,
including the following powers:
(a) To invest up to one hundred percent (100%) of all Trust assets in
Common Stock without regard to any law now or hereafter in force
limiting investments for Trustees or other fiduciaries. The investment
authorized herein and in paragraph (b) constitutes the only investment
of the Trust, and in making such investment, the Trustee is authorized
to purchase Common Stock from the Holding Company or an Affiliate or
from any other source and such Common Stock so purchased may be
outstanding, newly issued, or treasury shares.
(b) To invest any Trust assets not otherwise invested in accordance with
(a) above in such deposit accounts, and certificates of deposit
(including those issued by the Association), securities of any
open-end or closed-end management investment company or investment
trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whether or
not the Trustee or any affiliate of the Trustee is being compensated
for providing services to the investment company or trust as
investment advisor or otherwise, obligations of the United States
government or its agencies or such other investments as shall be
considered the equivalent of cash.
(c) To sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any property at any time
held or acquired by the Trust.
(d) To cause stocks, bonds or other securities to be registered in the
name of a nominee, without the addition of words indicating that such
security is an asset of the Trust (but accurate records shall be
maintained showing that such security is an asset of the Trust).
(e) To hold cash without interest in such amounts as may be in the opinion
of the Trustee reasonable for the proper operation of the Plan and
Trust and to hold cash pending investment.
(f) To employ brokers, agents, custodians, consultants and accountants.
(g) To hire counsel to render advice with respect to their rights, duties
and obligations hereunder, and such other legal services or
representation as they may deem desirable.
(h) To hold funds and securities representing the amounts to be
distributed to a Recipient or his or her Beneficiary as a consequence
of a dispute as to the disposition thereof, whether in a segregated
account or held in common with other assets of the Trust.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the Trustee
shall not be required to make any inventory, appraisal or settlement or report
to any court, or to secure any order of court for the exercise of any power
herein contained, or give bond.
8.03 Records and Accounts. The Trustee shall maintain accurate and detailed
records and accounts of all transactions of the Trust, which shall be available
at all reasonable times for inspection by any legally entitled person or entity
to the extent required by applicable law, or any other person determined by the
Committee.
8.04 Earnings. All earnings, gains and losses with respect to Trust assets
shall be allocated, in accordance with a reasonable procedure adopted by the
Committee, to bookkeeping accounts for Recipients or to the general account of
the Trust, depending on the nature and allocation of the assets generating such
earnings, gains and losses. In particular, any earnings on cash dividends or
distributions received with respect to shares of Common Stock shall be allocated
to accounts for Recipients, if such shares are the subject of outstanding Plan
Share Awards, or otherwise to the Plan Share Reserve. Recipients (or their
Beneficiaries) shall not be entitled to any such allocations until the Plan
Share Awards to which they relate are vested and distributed to those Recipients
(or their Beneficiaries).
8.05 Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in the operation and
administration of this Plan, including those incurred by the Trustee, shall be
borne by the Association or the Holding Company.
8.06 Indemnification. The Association shall indemnify, defend and hold the
Trustee harmless against all claims, expenses and liabilities arising out of or
related to the exercise of the Trustee's powers and the discharge of its duties
hereunder, unless the same shall be due to its negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
9.01 Adjustments for Capital Changes. The aggregate number of Plan Shares
available for issuance pursuant to the Plan Share Awards (which, as of the
effective date of this Plan, shall not exceed 4% of the shares of the Holding
Company's Common Stock issued in the Conversion), and the number of shares to
which any Plan Share Award relates shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
issued subsequent to the effective date of the Plan resulting from any stock
dividend or split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, extraordinary cash or
non-cash distribution, or other similar capital adjustment, or other increase or
decrease in such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration, by
the Committee.
9.02 Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board may, by resolution, at
any time amend or terminate the Plan. The power to amend or terminate shall
include the power to direct the Trustee to return to the Holding Company all or
any part of the assets of the Trust, including shares of Common Stock held in
the Plan Share Reserve, as well as shares of Common Stock and other assets
subject to Plan Share Awards but not yet earned by the Employees or Outside
Directors to whom they are allocated. However, the termination of the Trust
shall not affect a Recipient's right to the distribution of Common Stock
relating to Plan Share Awards already earned, including earnings thereon, in
accordance with the terms of this Plan and the grant by the Committee.
9.03 Nontransferable. Plan Share Awards and rights to Plan Shares shall not
be transferable by a Recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder, and
during the lifetime of the Recipient, Plan Shares may only be earned by and paid
to the Recipient who was notified in writing of the Award by the Committee
pursuant to Section 6.03. The assets of the RRP, prior to the distribution of
Plan Shares to a Recipient or his or her Beneficiary, shall be subject to the
claims of creditors of the Association. Unless Plan Shares are distributed in
accordance with Section 6.05 or 7.03 to a Recipient or his or her Beneficiary,
such Recipient or, if applicable, Beneficiary shall not have any right in or
claim to any specific assets of the RRP or Trust and shall only be an unsecured
creditor of the Association, nor shall the Holding Company or the Association be
subject to any claim for benefits hereunder.
9.04 Employment Rights. Neither the Plan nor any grant of a Plan Share
Award or Plan Shares hereunder nor any action taken by the Trustee, the
Committee or the Board in connection with the Plan shall create any right on the
part of any Employee to continue in the employ of, or of any Outside Director to
continue in the service of, the Association, the Holding Company or any
Affiliate thereof.
9.05 Voting and Dividend Rights. No Recipient shall have any voting or
dividend rights or other rights of a stockholder in respect of any Plan Shares
covered by a Plan Share Award, except as expressly provided in Sections 7.02 and
7.04 above, prior to the time said Plan Shares are actually distributed to him.
9.06 Governing Laws. The Plan and Trust shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Indiana, except to the extent governed by federal law, including
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. In particular, grants of Plan
Share Awards under the Plan shall comply with the requirements of 12 C.F.R. ss.
563b.3(g)(4)(vi) to the extent applicable thereto.
9.07 Effective Date. This Plan shall be effective as of the date of its
approval by the shareholders of the Holding Company.
9.08 Term of Plan. This Plan shall remain in effect until the earlier of
(1) 21 years from the effective date of its adoption, (2) termination by the
Board, or (3) the distribution of all assets of the Trust. Termination of the
Plan shall not affect any Plan Share Awards previously granted, and such Awards
shall remain valid and in effect until they have been earned and paid, or by
their terms expire or are forfeited.
9.09 Tax Status of Trust. It is intended that the trust established hereby
be treated as a grantor trust of the Association under the provisions of Section
671, et seq., of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
9.10. Compensation. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive fair and
reasonable compensation for its services hereunder, as agreed to by the Trustee
and the Association, and shall also be entitled to be reimbursed for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, but not by way of limitation,
legal, actuarial and accounting expenses and all costs and expenses incurred in
prosecuting or defending any action concerning the Plan or the Trust or the
rights or responsibilities of any person hereunder, brought by or against the
Trustee. Such reasonable compensation and expenses shall be paid by the
Association or the Holding Company.
9.11. Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by giving

Exhibit 10(5)
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement, made and dated as of ________, 1997, by and between
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federal savings and loan
association ("Employer"), and Joseph E.
Timmons, a resident of Montgomery County, Indiana ("Employee").
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Employee is employed by Employer as its President and has made
valuable contributions to the profitability and financial strength of Employer;
WHEREAS, Employer desires to encourage Employee to continue to make
valuable contributions to Employer's business operations and not to seek or
accept employment elsewhere;
WHEREAS, Employee desires to be assured of a secure minimum
compensation from Employer for his services over a defined term;
WHEREAS, Employer desires to assure the continued services of Employee
on behalf of Employer on an objective and impartial basis and without
distraction or conflict of interest in the event of an attempt by any person to
obtain control of Employer or Union Community Bancorp (the "Holding Company"),
the Indiana corporation which owns all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Employer;
WHEREAS, Employer recognizes that when faced with a proposal for a
change of control of Employer or the Holding Company, Employee will have a
significant role in helping the Boards of Directors assess the options and
advising the Boards of Directors on what is in the best interests of Employer,
the Holding Company, and its shareholders, and it is necessary for Employee to
be able to provide this advice and counsel without being influenced by the
uncertainties of his own situation;
WHEREAS, Employer desires to provide fair and reasonable benefits to
Employee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, Employer desires reasonable protection of its confidential
business and customer information which it has developed over the years at
substantial expense and assurance that Employee will not compete with Employer
for a reasonable period of time after termination of his employment with
Employer, except as otherwise provided herein.
-1-
<PAGE>
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises, the mutual
covenants and undertakings herein contained and the continued employment of
Employee by Employer as its President, Employer and Employee, each intending to
be legally bound, covenant and agree as follows:
1. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, Employer employs Employee as Employer's President, and Employee
accepts such employment.
2. Employee agrees to serve as Employer's President and to perform
such duties in that office as may reasonably be assigned to him by Employer's
Board of Directors; provided, however, that such duties shall be performed in or
from the offices of Employer currently located at Crawfordsville, Indiana, and
shall be of the same character as those previously performed by Employee and
generally associated with the office held by Employee. Employee shall not be
required to be absent from the location of the principal executive offices of
Employer on travel status or otherwise more than 45 days in any calendar year.
Employer shall not, without the written consent of Employee, relocate or
transfer Employee to a location more than 30 miles from Employer's primary
office. Employee shall render services to Employer as President in substantially
the same manner and to substantially the same extent as Employee rendered his
services to Employer before the date hereof. While employed by Employer,
Employee shall devote substantially all his business time and efforts to
Employer's business during regular business hours and shall not engage in any
other related business. Employer shall nominate the Employee to successive terms
as a member of Employer's Board of Directors and shall use its best efforts to
elect and re-elect Employee as a member of such Board.
3. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the date of completion of
the conversion of Employer from mutual to stock form (the "Effective Date") and
shall end on the date which is three years following such date; provided,
however, that such term shall be extended automatically for an additional year
on each anniversary of the Effective Date if Employer's Board of Directors
determines by resolution that the performance of the Employee has met the
Board's requirements and standards and that this Agreement should be extended
prior to such anniversary of the Effective Date, unless either party hereto
gives written notice to the other party not to so extend within ninety (90) days
prior to such anniversary, in which case no further automatic extension shall
occur and the term of this Agreement shall end two years subsequent to the
anniversary as of which the notice not to extend for an additional year is given
(such term, including any extension thereof shall herein be referred to as the
"Term").
4. Employee shall receive an annual salary of ("Base Compensation")
payable at regular intervals in accordance with Employer's normal payroll
practices now or hereafter in effect. Employer may consider and declare from
time to time increases in the salary it pays Employee and thereby increases in
his Base Compensation. Prior to a Change of Control, Employer may also declare
decreases in the salary it pays Employee if the operating results of Employer
are significantly less favorable than those for the fiscal year ending December
31, 1996, and Employer makes similar
-2-
<PAGE>
decreases in the salary it pays to other executive officers of Employer. After a
Change in Control, Employer shall consider and declare salary increases based
upon the following standards:
Inflation;
Adjustments to the salaries of other senior management personnel; and
Past performance of Employee and the contribution which Employee makes
to the business and profits of Employer during the Term.
Any and all increases or decreases in Employee's salary pursuant to this section
shall cause the level of Base Compensation to be increased or decreased by the
amount of each such increase or decrease for purposes of this Agreement. The
increased or decreased level of Base Compensation as provided in this section
shall become the level of Base Compensation for the remainder of the Term of
this Agreement until there is a further increase or decrease in Base
Compensation as provided herein.
5. So long as Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to this
Agreement, he shall be included as a participant in all present and future
employee benefit, retirement, and compensation plans generally available to
employees of Employer, consistent with his Base Compensation and his position as
President of Employer, including, without limitation, Employer's or the Holding
Company's pension plan, thrift plan, Stock Option Plan, Recognition and
Retention Plan and Trust, Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and hospitalization,
disability and group life insurance plans, each of which Employer agrees to
continue in effect on terms no less favorable than those currently in effect as
of the date hereof (as permitted by law) during the Term of this Agreement
unless prior to a Change of Control the operating results of Employer are
significantly less favorable than those for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1996, and unless (either before or after a Change of Control) changes in the
accounting, legal, or tax treatment of such plans would adversely affect
Employer's operating results or financial condition in a material way, and the
Board of Directors of Employer or the Holding Company concludes that
modifications to such plans need to be made to avoid such adverse effects.
6. So long as Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to this
Agreement, Employee shall receive reimbursement from Employer for all reasonable
business expenses incurred in the course of his employment by Employer, upon
submission to Employer of written vouchers and statements for reimbursement.
Employee shall attend, upon the prior approval of Employer's Board of Directors,
those professional meetings, conventions, and/or similar functions that he deems
appropriate and useful for purposes of keeping abreast of current developments
in the industry and/or promoting the interests of Employer. So long as Employee
is employed by Employer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Employer shall
continue in effect vacation policies applicable to Employee no less favorable
from his point of view than those written vacation policies in effect on the
date hereof. So long as Employee is employed by Employer pursuant to this
Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to office space and working conditions no
less favorable than were in effect for him on the date hereof.

7. Subject to the respective continuing obligations of the parties,
including but not limited to those set forth in subsections 9(A), 9(B), 9(C) and
9(D) hereof, Employee's employment by Employer may be terminated prior to the
expiration of the Term of this Agreement as follows:
(A) Employer, by action of its Board of Directors and upon written
notice to Employee, may terminate Employee's employment with
Employer immediately for cause. For purposes of this
subsection 7(A), "cause" shall be defined as (i) personal
dishonesty, (ii) incompetence, (iii) willful misconduct, (iv)
breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, (v)
intentional failure to perform stated duties, (vi) willful
violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic
violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist
order, or (vii) any material breach of any provision of this
Agreement.
(B) Employer, by action of its Board of Directors may terminate
Employee's employment with Employer without cause at any time;
provided, however, that the "date of termination" for purposes
of determining benefits payable to Employee under subsection
8(B) hereof shall be the date which is 60 days after Employee
receives written notice of such termination.
(C) Employee, by written notice to Employer, may terminate his
employment with Employer immediately for cause. For purposes
of this subsection 7(C), "cause" shall be defined as (i) any
action by Employer's Board of Directors to remove the Employee
as President of Employer, except where the Employer's Board of
Directors properly acts to remove Employee from such office
for "cause" as defined in subsection 7(A) hereof, (ii) any
action by Employer's Board of Directors to materially limit,
increase, or modify Employee's duties and/or authority as
President of Employer, (iii) any failure of Employer to obtain
the assumption of the obligation to perform this Agreement by
any successor or the reaffirmation of such obligation by
Employer, as contemplated in section 20 hereof; or (iv) any
material breach by Employer of a term, condition or covenant
of this Agreement.
(D) Employee, upon sixty (60) days written notice to Employer, may
terminate his employment with Employer without cause.
(E) Employee's employment with Employer shall terminate in the
event of Employee's death or disability. For purposes hereof,
"disability" shall be defined as Employee's inability by
reason of illness or other physical or mental incapacity to
perform the duties required by his employment for any
consecutive One Hundred Eighty (180) day period, provided that
notice of any termination by Employer because of Employee's
"disability" shall have been given to Employee prior to the
full resumption by him of the performance of such duties.

8. In the event of termination of Employee's employment with Employer
pursuant to section 7 hereof, compensation shall continue to be paid by Employer
to Employee as follows:
(A) In the event of termination pursuant to subsection 7(A) or
7(D), compensation provided for herein (including Base
Compensation) shall continue to be paid, and Employee shall
continue to participate in the employee benefit, retirement,
and compensation plans and other perquisites as provided in
sections 5 and 6 hereof, through the date of termination
specified in the notice of termination. Any benefits payable
under insurance, health, retirement and bonus plans as a
result of Employee's participation in such plans through such
date shall be paid when due under those plans. The date of
termination specified in any notice of termination pursuant to
subsection 7(A) shall be no later than the last business day
of the month in which such notice is provided to Employee.
(B) In the event of termination pursuant to subsection 7(B) or
7(C), compensation provided for herein (including Base
Compensation) shall continue to be paid, and Employee shall
continue to participate in the employee benefit, retirement,
and compensation plans and other perquisites as provided in
sections 5 and 6 hereof, through the date of termination
specified in the notice of termination. Any benefits payable
under insurance, health, retirement and bonus plans as a
result of Employee's participation in such plans through such
date shall be paid when due under those plans. In addition,
Employee shall be entitled to continue to receive from
Employer his Base Compensation at the rates in effect at the
time of termination (1) for three additional l2-month periods
if the termination follows a Change of Control or (2) for the
remaining Term of the Agreement if the termination does not
follow a Change of Control. In addition, during such periods,
Employer will maintain in full force and effect for the
continued benefit of Employee each employee welfare benefit
plan and each employee pension benefit plan (as such terms are
defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended) in which Employee was entitled to
participate immediately prior to the date of his termination,
unless an essentially equivalent and no less favorable benefit
is provided by a subsequent employer of Employee. If the terms
of any employee welfare benefit plan or employee pension
benefit plan of Employer do not permit continued participation
by Employee, Employer will arrange to provide to Employee a
benefit substantially similar to, and no less favorable than,
the benefit he was entitled to receive under such plan at the
end of the period of coverage. For purposes of this Agreement,
a "Change of Control" shall mean an acquisition of "control"
of the Holding Company or of Employer within the meaning of 12
C.F.R.ss.574.4(a) (other than a change of control resulting
from a trustee or other fiduciary holding shares of Common
Stock under an employee benefit plan of the Holding Company or
any of its subsidiaries). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the foregoing, any benefits payable under this
subsection 8(B) shall be subject to the limitations on
severance benefits set forth
-5-
<PAGE>
in Regulatory Bulletin 27a of the Office of Thrift
Supervision, as in effect on the Effective Date.
(C) In the event of termination pursuant to subsection 7(E),
compensation provided for herein (including Base Compensation)
shall continue to be paid, and Employee shall continue to
participate in the employee benefit, retirement, and
compensation plans and other perquisites as provided in
sections 5 and 6 hereof, (i) in the event of Employee's death,
through the date of death, or (ii) in the event of Employee's
disability, through the date of proper notice of disability as
required by subsection 7(E). Any benefits payable under
insurance, health, retirement and bonus plans as a result of
Employer's participation in such plans through such date shall
be paid when due under those plans.
(D) Employer will permit Employee or his personal
representative(s) or heirs, during a period of three months
following Employee's termination of employment by Employer for
the reasons set forth in subsections 7(B) or (C), if such
termination follows a Change of Control, to require Employer,
upon written request, to purchase all outstanding stock
options previously granted to Employee under any Holding
Company stock option plan then in effect whether or not such
options are then exercisable at a cash purchase price equal to
the amount by which the aggregate "fair market value" of the
shares subject to such options exceeds the aggregate option
price for such shares. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "fair market value" shall mean the higher of (1) the
average of the highest asked prices for Holding Company shares
in the over-the-counter market as reported on the NASDAQ
system if the shares are traded on such system for the 30
business days preceding such termination, or (2) the average
per share price actually paid for the most highly priced 1% of
the Holding Company shares acquired in connection with the
Change of Control of the Holding Company by any person or
group acquiring such control.
9. In order to induce Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employee
hereby agrees as follows:
(A) While Employee is employed by Employer and for a period of
three years after termination of such employment for reasons
other than those set forth in subsections 7(B) or (C) of this
Agreement, Employee shall not divulge or furnish any trade
secrets (as defined in IND. CODEss. 24-2-3-2) of Employer or
any confidential information acquired by him while employed by
Employer concerning the policies, plans, procedures or
customers of Employer to any person, firm or corporation,
other than Employer or upon its written request, or use any
such trade secret or confidential information directly or
indirectly for Employee's own benefit or for the benefit of
any person, firm or corporation other than Employer, since
such trade secrets and confidential information are
confidential and shall at all times remain the property of
Employer.
-6-
<PAGE>
(B) For a period of three years after termination of Employee's
employment by Employer for reasons other than those set forth
in subsections 7(B) or (C) of this Agreement, Employee shall
not directly or indirectly provide banking or bank-related
services to or solicit the banking or bank-related business of
any customer of Employer at the time of such provision of
services or solicitation which Employee served either alone or
with others while employed by Employer in any city, town,
borough, township, village or other place in which Employee
performed services for Employer while employed by it, or
assist any actual or potential competitor of Employer to
provide banking or bank-related services to or solicit any
such customer's banking or bank-related business in any such
place.
(C) While Employee is employed by Employer and for a period of one
year after termination of Employee's employment by Employer
for reasons other than those set forth in subsections 7(B) or
(C) of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or
indirectly, as principal, agent, or trustee, or through the
agency of any corporation, partnership, trade association,
agent or agency, engage in any banking or bank-related
business which competes with the business of Employer as
conducted during Employee's employment by Employer within a
radius of twenty-five (25) miles of Employer's main office.
(D) If Employee's employment by Employer is terminated for reasons
other than those set forth in subsections 7(B) or (C) of this
Agreement, Employee will turn over immediately thereafter to
Employer all business correspondence, letters, papers,
reports, customers' lists, financial statements, credit
reports or other confidential information or documents of
Employer or its affiliates in the possession or control of
Employee, all of which writings are and will continue to be
the sole and exclusive property of Employer or its affiliates.
If Employee's employment by Employer is terminated during the Term of this
Agreement for reasons set forth in subsections 7(B) or (C) of this Agreement,
Employee shall have no obligations to Employer with respect to trade secrets,
confidential information or noncompetition under this section 9.
10. Any termination of Employee's employment with Employer as
contemplated by section 7 hereof, except in the circumstances of Employee's
death, shall be communicated by written "Notice of Termination" by the
terminating party to the other party hereto. Any "Notice of Termination"
pursuant to subsections 7(A), 7(C) or 7(E) shall indicate the specific
provisions of this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for such
termination.
11. If Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from
participating in the conduct of Employer's affairs by a notice served under
section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. ss.
1818(e)(3) or (g)(1)), Employer's obligations under this
-7-
<PAGE>
Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, Employer
shall (i) pay Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its
obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or
in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.
12. If Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating in the conduct of Employer's affairs by an order issued under
section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. ss.
1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all obligations of Employer under this Agreement shall
terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the
parties to the Agreement shall not be affected.
13. If Employer is in default (as defined in section 3(x)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act), all obligations under this Agreement shall
terminate as of the date of default, but this provision shall not affect any
vested rights of Employer or Employee.
14. All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated except to
the extent determined that the continuation of the Agreement is necessary for
the continued operation of Employer: (i) by the Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision or his or her designee (the "Director"), at the time the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to
or on behalf of Employer under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or (ii) by the Director at the time the Director
approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of
Employer or when Employer is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe and
unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however,
shall not be affected by such action.
15. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event that the Employer's independent public accountants determine that any
payment by the Employer to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or
payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, would be non-deductible by the
Employer for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then the amount payable to or for
the benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this section 15, the "Reduced
Amount" shall be the amount which maximizes the amount payable without causing
the payment to be non-deductible by the Employer because of Section 280G of the
Code. Any payments made to Employee pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are
subject to and conditional upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. ss.1828(k) and
any regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent applicable to such
parties.
16. If a dispute arises regarding the termination of Employee pursuant
to section 7 hereof or as to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement
and Employee obtains a final judgment in his favor in a court of competent
jurisdiction or his claim is settled by Employer prior to the
-8-
<PAGE>
rendering of a judgment by such a court, all reasonable legal fees and expenses
incurred by Employee in contesting or disputing any such termination or seeking
to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise pursuing his claim shall be paid by Employer, to the extent permitted
by law.
17. Should Employee die after termination of his employment with
Employer while any amounts are payable to him hereunder, this Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Employee's executors,
administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees and all amounts
payable hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
to Employee's devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such
designee, to his estate.
18. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been given when delivered or mailed by United States registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:
If to Employee: Joseph E. Timmons
413 Englewood Drive
Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933
If to Employer: Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
221 E. Main Street
P.O. Box 151
Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933
or to such address as either party hereto may have furnished to the other party
in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address
shall be effective only upon receipt.
19. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, except as otherwise
required by mandatory operation of federal law.
20. Employer shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect,
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business or assets of Employer, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Employee to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement
in the same manner and same extent that Employer would be required to perform it
if no such succession had taken place. Failure of Employer to obtain such
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material
intentional breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Employee to terminate his
employment with Employer pursuant to subsection 7(C) hereof. As used in this
Agreement, "Employer" shall mean Employer as hereinbefore defined and any
successor to its business or assets as aforesaid.
-9-
<PAGE>
21. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or
discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing
signed by Employee and Employer. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of
any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or
provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed
a waiver of dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or any prior
subsequent time. No agreements or representation, oral or otherwise, express or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either
party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.
22. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provisions of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.
23. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.
24. This Agreement is personal in nature and neither party hereto
shall, without consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in section 17 and section 20
above. Without limiting the foregoing, Employee's right to receive compensation
hereunder shall not be assignable or transferable, whether by pledge, creation
of a security interest or otherwise, other than a transfer by his will or by the
laws of descent or distribution as set forth in section 17 hereof, and in the
event of any attempted assignment or transfer contrary to this paragraph,
Employer shall have no liability to pay any amounts so attempted to be assigned
or transferred.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused the Agreement to be
executed and delivered as of the day and year first above set forth.

parties shall agree upon (the "Closing Date").
Section 2.2. Use of Trust Loan Proceeds. The Trust will use the
proceeds of the Trust Loan to purchase Shares in the Offering, in accordance

Exhibit A hereto, appropriately completed, dated the Closing Date, payable to
the order of the Company in the original principal amount of the Trust Loan, or
so much thereof as may at any time have been advanced hereunder and thereunder,
on the maturity date thereof.
Section 2.4. Interest. The portion of the Trust Loan principal
outstanding at any time shall accrue and bear daily interest at a fixed rate per
annum equal to the prime rate as published in "The Wall Street Journal" on the
Closing Date (the "Interest Rate"), payable annually in accordance with Section
2.5. On any stated or accelerated maturity of the Trust Loan all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon shall be forthwith due and payable.
Section 2.5. Payments. The Trust shall pay the principal amount of the
Trust Loan together with accrued interest as follows:
(a) an initial principal installment of one twentieth (1/25)

Trust Loan from the Closing Date through and including December 31,
1998; and

-3-
<PAGE>
(a) Upon compliance with this Section 2.6, the Trust, at its
option, may prepay the Trust Note at any time and from time to time,
either in whole or in part, by payment of the principal amount of the
Trust Note or portion thereof to be prepaid and accrued interest
thereon to the date of such prepayment.
(b) The Trustee will give notice of any prepayment of the
Trust Note pursuant to this Section 2.6 to the Company not less than 3
days nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for such optional
prepayment specifying (i) such date, (ii) that prepayment is to be made
under Section 2.6 of this Agreement, (iii) the principal amount of the
Trust Note to be prepaid on such date, and (iv) accrued interest
applicable to the prepayment. Such notice of prepayment shall be signed
by the Trustee. Notice of prepayment having been so given, the
aggregate principal amount of the Trust Note specified in such notice,
together with accrued interest thereon shall become due and payable on
the prepayment date.
(c) Partial prepayments of the Trust Note made pursuant to
this Section 2.6 shall be credited in each case against remaining
scheduled payments on the Trust Note in the inverse order of the due
dates of such payments.
(d) No such prepayment shall, however, be permitted if such
prepayment would adversely affect the Required Status.
Section 2.7. Place and Time of Payment. All payments of principal of,
or interest on, the Trust Note shall be made by the Trust to the Company in same
day funds at Crawfordsville, Indiana, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due.
Funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received on the next
following Business Day.
Section 2.8. Application of Certain Payments. If, and to the extent,
Shares acquired with proceeds of the Trust Loan, held in the Trust and not yet
allocated to participant accounts are sold, then, to the extent allowable by the
Exempt Loan Rules and applicable law, the Trustee, at the direction of the ESOP
Committee administering the ESOP (the "Committee"), may apply the proceeds
thereof toward the repayment of the Trust Loan. Dividends or other cash
distributions paid on the Shares purchased with the proceeds of the Trust Loan
(whether or not allocated to the accounts of Participants) shall be used by the
Trustee, at the discretion of the Committee, to the extent permissible to repay
the Trust Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5 of the ESOP.
Section 2.9. Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Trust Note falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then
such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day, and
additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of such
extension.
Section 2.10. Computations. All computations of interest on the Trust
Loan and other amounts due hereunder shall be based on a year of 360 days,
comprising twelve 30-day months.
-4-
<PAGE>
Section 2.11. Interest on Overdue Amounts. If any payment of principal
of, or interest on, the Trust Note is not made when due, interest shall accrue
on the amount thereof, commencing on such due date through the date on which
such amount is paid in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus
two percent (2%).
ARTICLE III
SECURITY
Section 3.1. Security. Payment of the Trust Note and performance by the
Trust of its obligations under this Agreement and the Trust Note will be secured
by a pledge of, and the grant of a security interest in, the Shares by the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust to and in favor of the Company under a Share
Pledge Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the "Share
Pledge Agreement").
Section 3.2. Release of Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement or the Share Pledge Agreement to the contrary contained or implied,
the Company will release from the pledge and security interest under the Share

covenants and conditions hereafter set forth.

disposal of the Pledged Shares in exchange for cash or credit, and (ii) the
Company may, without demand or notice of any kind, but subject to Section 7,
appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such
order of application, as the Company may from time to time elect, any balances,
credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Trust. If any notification of
intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by law, such
notification, if mailed, shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if mailed
at least five (5) days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to
the Trust, either at the address of the Trust shown below, or at any other
address of the Trust appearing on the records of the Company. Any proceeds of
any disposition of Collateral shall be applied as provided in Section 7 hereof.
All rights and remedies of the Company expressed hereunder are in addition to
all other rights and remedies possessed by it, including those under any other
agreement or instrument relating to any of the Liabilities or security therefor.
No delay on the part of the Company in the exercise of any right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Company of
any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy. No action of the Company permitted
hereunder shall impair or affect the rights of the Company in and to the
Collateral.
(c) The Trust agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral
whenever an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Company is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in
connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order
to avoid any violation of law (including, without limitation, compliance with
such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and
purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain
qualification, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to persons
who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such
Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the
purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and the Trust
further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being
considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner,
nor shall the Company be liable nor accountable to the Trust for any discount
allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance
with any such limitation or restriction.

<PAGE>
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Trust
Note or the Loan Agreement contained or implied, if an Event of Default occurs
with respect to the Trust Loan by the Trust, the value of Trust assets
transferred in satisfaction thereof shall not exceed the amount of such default.
In addition, such a transfer of such Trust assets shall only occur upon, and to
the extent of the failure of, the Trust to meet the payment schedule of the
Trust Loan provided in Article II of the Loan Agreement.
Section 7. Application of Proceeds of Sale or Cash Held as
Collateral. The proceeds of sale of Collateral sold pursuant to the terms of
Section 6 hereof and/or, after an Event of Default, the cash held as Collateral
hereunder, shall be applied by the Company, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, as follows:
First: to payment of the costs and expenses of such sale,
including the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Company and the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of counsel
employed in connection therewith, and to the payment of all advances
made by the Company for the account of the Trust hereunder and the
payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in
connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement,
to the extent that such advances, costs and expenses shall not have
been reimbursed to the Company;
Second: to the payment in full of the Liabilities; and
Third: the balance, if any, of such proceeds shall be paid to
the Trust, its successors and assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.
Section 8. Authority of Company. The Company shall have and be
entitled to exercise all such powers hereunder as are specifically delegated to
the Company by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are incidental
thereto. The Company may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through
agents or employees and shall be entitled to retain counsel and to act in
reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
its duties hereunder. Neither the Company, nor any director, officer or employee
of the Company, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own
gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Trust hereby agrees, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to reimburse the Company, on demand, for all costs
and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the enforcement of this
Agreement (including costs and expenses incurred by any agent employed by the
Company).
Section 9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all the
Liabilities have been fully paid and performed, at which time the Company shall
reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to the Trust,
or to such person or persons as the Trust shall designate, against receipt, such
of the Collateral (if any) as shall not have been theretofore released, sold or
otherwise applied by the Company pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be
held by it hereunder,
-6-
<PAGE>
together with any appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such
reassignment shall be without recourse upon, or representation or warranty by,
the Company.
Section 10. Required Release of Collateral. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Company
from time to time will release from the pledge and security interest under the
Loan Agreement, such Collateral as must be allocated to participants under the

Exempt Loan Rules or other applicable law.
Section 11. Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the Trust Note, the Loan Agreement or any other
instrument, agreement or document contained or implied, the Liabilities shall be
enforceable to the extent permitted under applicable law, including, without
limitation, the Exempt Loan Rules, only against the Trust to the extent of the
Collateral not theretofore released from the pledge and security interest under
this Agreement as provided herein and contributions (other than contributions of
employer securities) made to the Trust in accordance with the Plan to enable the
Trust to pay and satisfy the Liabilities and from earnings attributable to the
Shares and the investment of such contributions (collectively, the "'Trust Loan
Collateral"). No recourse shall be had to or against the Trust or the assets
thereof (other than the Trust Loan Collateral) for any deficiency judgment
against the Trust for the purpose of obtaining payment or other satisfaction of
the Liabilities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee of the Trust shall
have no personal liability for any of the Liabilities, other than as required by
or arising under applicable law.
Section 12. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall
be in writing and, if mailed, shall be deemed to be given when sent by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by
telecopier, duly confirmed, and addressed to such party at the address indicated
below or to such other address as such party may designate in writing pursuant
to this Section 12.

Board of Directors
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
221 East Main Street
Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933
Gentlemen:
At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent
appraisal ("Appraisal") of the estimated pro forma market value of the common
stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion of
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association, Crawfordsville, Indiana ("Union
Federal" or the "Association"). The common stock issued in connection with the
Association's conversion will simultaneously be acquired by a holding company,
Union Community Bancorp (the "Holding Company"). Pursuant to the Plan of
Conversion, the Common Stock is first being offered in the Subscription Offering
with nontransferable subscription rights being granted to Eligible Account
Holders, the ESOP, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members. To
the extent shares remain available for purchase after filling all orders
received in the Subscription Offering, the Common Stock will be offered in a
Community Offering to the general public, with preference given to Montgomery
County residents.
This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the conversion regulations
promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). This Appraisal has been
prepared in accordance with the written valuation guidelines promulgated by the
OTS, most recently updated as of October 21, 1994. Specifically, this Appraisal
has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for
the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock
Form of Organization" of the OTS, as successor to the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board ("FHLBB"), dated as of October 21, 1994; and applicable regulatory
interpretations thereof.
Description of Reorganization
The Board of Directors of the Association has adopted a Plan of Conversion
pursuant to which the Association will convert from a federally chartered mutual
savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan
association and issue all of its outstanding shares to the Holding Company. The
Holding Company will sell in the Subscription Offering and, if necessary, in the
Community Offering Holding Company stock in the amount equal to the appraised
value of the Association.

RP Financial, LC.
Board of Directors
August 22, 1997
Page 2
Immediately following the conversion, the only significant assets of the Holding
Company will be the capital stock of the Association and the net conversion
proceeds remaining after purchase of the Association's common stock by the
Holding Company. The Holding Company will use 50 percent of the net conversion
proceeds to purchase the Association's common stock. A portion of the remaining
50 percent of the net conversion proceeds will be used to fund a loan to the
ESOP with the remainder to be used as general working capital.
RP Financial, LC.
RP Financial, LC. ("RP Financial") is a financial consulting firm serving
the financial services industry nationwide that, among other things, specializes
in financial valuations and analyses of business enterprises and securities,
including the pro forma valuation for savings institutions converting from
mutual-to-stock form. The background and experience of RP Financial is detailed
in Exhibit V-1. We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for our
appraisal and assisting the Association in the preparation of its business plan,
we are independent of the Association and the other parties engaged by the
Association to assist in the stock conversion process.
Valuation Methodology
In preparing our appraisal, we have reviewed Union Federal's application
for Approval of Conversion, including the Proxy Statement, as filed with the
OTS, and the Holding Company's Form S-1 registration statement as filed with the
Securities Exchange Commission. We have conducted a financial analysis of the
Association that has included due diligence related discussions with the
Association's management; Geo. S. Olive & Co. LLC, the Association's independent
auditor; Barnes & Thornburg, the Association's conversion counsel; and Trident
Securities, Inc., which has been retained by the Association as a financial and
marketing advisor in connection with the Holding Company's stock offering. All
conclusions set forth in the appraisal were reached independently from such
discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have considered information
based on other available published sources that we believe are reliable. While
we believe the information and data gathered from all these sources are
reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.
We have investigated the competitive environment within which the
Association operates and have assessed the Association's relative strengths and
weaknesses. We have kept
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Board of Directors
August 22, 1997
Page 3
abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment and analyzed the
potential impact on the Association and the industry as a whole. We have
analyzed the potential effects of conversion on the Association's operating
characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market
value of Union Federal. We have reviewed the economy in the Association's
primary market area and have compared the Association's financial performance
and condition with selected publicly-traded thrift institutions with similar
characteristics as the Association's, as well as all publicly-traded thrifts. We
have reviewed conditions in the securities markets in general and in the market
for thrift stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues
and the market for initial public offerings by thrifts.
Our appraisal is based on the Association's representation that the
information contained in the regulatory applications and additional information
furnished to us by the Association and its independent auditors are truthful,
accurate and complete. We did not independently verify the financial statements
and other information provided by the Association and its independent auditors,
nor did we independently value the assets or liabilities of the Association. The
valuation considers the Association only as a going concern and should not be
considered as an indication of the liquidation value of Union Federal.
Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current
operating environment for the Association and for all thrifts. Changes in the
local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the
stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural
disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with
great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a
whole or the Association's value alone. It is our understanding Union Federal
intends to remain an independent institution and there are no current plans for
selling control of the Association as a converted institution. To the extent
that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis.
Pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Union Federal's
stock, immediately upon completion of the conversion offering, would change
hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any
compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant
facts.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Board of Directors
August 22, 1997
Page 4
Valuation Conclusion
It is our opinion that, as of August 22, 1997, the aggregate pro forma
market value of the shares to be issued was $20,000,000 at the midpoint, equal
to 2,000,000 shares offered at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to the
conversion guidelines, the 15 percent offering range indicates a minimum value
of $17,000,000 and a maximum value of $23,000,000. Based on the $10.00 per share
offering price, this valuation range equates to an offering of 1,700,000 shares
at the minimum to 2,300,000 shares at the maximum. In the event that the
Association's appraised value is subject to an increase, up to 2,645,000 shares
may be sold at an issue price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate market value
of $26,450,000, without a resolicitation.
Limiting Factors and Considerations
Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the
common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon
estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to
change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase
shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell
such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market
value thereof.
RP Financial's valuation was determined based on the financial condition
and operations of the Association as of June 30, 1997, the date of the financial
data included in the Holding Company's prospectus.
RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any
federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall
not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of
any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its
principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.
The valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion regulations
and guidelines. These updates will consider, among other things, any
developments or changes in the Association's financial performance and
condition, management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for
thrift shares. These updates may also consider changes in other external factors
which impact value including, but not limited to: various changes in the
legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market and the market for
thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any such new developments or changes
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Board of Directors
August 22, 1997
Page 5
be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate
adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons
for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the
release of the update.
Respectfully submitted,
RP FINANCIAL, LC.

I. OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Introduction
Union Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Union Federal"
or the "Association"), organized in 1913, is a federally
chartered mutual savings and loan association headquartered in
Crawfordsville, Indiana. Through its sole office facility, Union
Federal primarily serves Crawfordsville and surrounding markets
in Montgomery County. Crawfordsville is the largest city in
Montgomery County, which is located in west-central Indiana
approximately 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Union Federal
is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system and its
deposits are insured up to the maximum allowable amount by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At June 30, 1997, Union
Federal had $84.3 million in assets, $62.1 million in deposits
and equity of $14.5 million or 17.2 percent of total assets.
Union Community Bancorp (the "Holding Company"), an Indiana
corporation, was recently organized to facilitate the conversion
of Union Federal. In the course of the conversion, the Holding
Company will acquire all of the capital stock that the
Association will issue upon its conversion from the mutual to
stock form of ownership. Going forward, Union Community Bancorp
will own 100 percent of the Association's stock, and the
Association will be Union Community Bancorp's sole subsidiary.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.2
Approximately 50 percent of the net proceeds received from the
sale of common stock will be used to purchase all of the then to
be issued and outstanding capital stock of the Association, with
the balance of the proceeds being retained by the Holding
Company. At this time, no other activities are contemplated for
Union Community Bancorp other than the ownership of the
Association, a loan to the newly-formed employee stock ownership
plan ("ESOP") and investment of the cash retained at the holding
company in investment securities. In the future Union Community
Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries.
Strategic Overview
Union Federal is a community-oriented thrift, with a primary
strategic objective of meeting the borrowing and savings needs of
its local customer base. The Association's historically strong
core earnings have been supported by the Association's high level
of capital, which provides Union Federal with a favorable
interest-earning assets/interest-bearing liabilities ("IEA/IBL")
ratio, and effective control of operating expenses. As the
result of those attributes, Union Federal has been able to fund
growth through offering attractive deposit rates, without notably
impairing earnings as the result of maintaining a relatively
narrow interest rate spread. Control of operating expenses is
facilitated by the Association's one office operation and non-
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.3
diversified operating strategy, both of which have served to keep
staffing levels relatively low for an $84 million institution.
Throughout its history, Union Federal has pursued a
traditional thrift operating strategy and, thus, 1-4 family
permanent mortgage loans and retail deposits have consistently
been the principal components of the Association's assets and
liabilities, respectively. In recent years, the Association has
emphasized lending diversification into multi-family loans. Such
diversification has been supported by the Association's purchase
of multi-family loan participations from other Indiana-based
institutions. To a lesser degree, Union Federal's purchase of
loan participations include loans secured by commercial
properties. Notwithstanding the Association's increased
diversification into higher risk types of lending, Union
Federal's credit quality measures have remained favorable and
indicative of limited credit risk exposure. Comparatively, the
Association maintains a greater degree of interest rate risk
exposure, as Union Federal's emphasis on fixed rate lending
funded by short- and intermediate-term deposits has resulted in a
balance sheet that is liability-sensitive.
As a traditional thrift, Union Federal's earnings base is
largely dependent upon net interest income and operating expense
levels. Maintenance of a liability-sensitive balance sheet
reflects the Association's philosophy that earnings can be more
<PAGE>

Page 1.4
fully maximized by incurring some interest rate risk, while Union
Federal's favorable IEA/IBL ratio and low level of operating
expenses will sustain earnings at lower but profitable levels
during periods of rising and higher interest rates. Union
Federal's ability to take on a certain degree of interest rate
risk in the net margin is further enhanced by the limited risk
that earnings will be negatively impacted to any significant
extent by credit quality related losses. Overall, Union
Federal's operating strategy has provided for a relatively strong
net interest margin during the past five and one-half fiscal
years, although, reflecting the impact of a narrowing interest
rate spread, the net interest margin has declined in recent
years.
The other major component of Union Federal's earnings,
operating expenses, has consistently been maintained at below
industry norms. While the Association's present operating
strategy has served to contain operating expenses, leveraging of
the balance sheet through loan and deposit growth will be
difficult to achieve without expanding operations and, thereby,
increasing operating expenses. Such expansion is viewed as
posing a major challenge for the Association, as it represents an
untested area of strategic direction for Union Federal.
Retail deposits have consistently served as the primary
interest-bearing funding source for the Association. Union

Federal has recorded positive deposit growth in recent years,
which has been largely achieved through offering attractive rates
on CDs. Transaction and savings accounts have typically
constituted a relatively minor portion of the Association's
deposit composition, amounting to slightly less than 23 percent
of total deposits at June 30, 1997. As the result of the
Association's deposit composition and pricing strategy for CDs,
Union Federal's deposit costs have been maintained at relatively
high levels. To support control of deposit costs, the
Association has utilized a limited amount of FHLB advance
borrowings in recent years to fund asset growth.
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, Union
Federal's operating strategy has resulted in positive asset
growth, an increasing capital position and healthy core earnings.
An emphasis on originating 1-4 family fixed rate loans for
portfolio has served to limit the Association's credit risk
exposure, while the Association's interest rate exposure is more
notable as indicated by its negative short-term gap position.
Earnings have been supported by a generally favorable interest
rate environment, in which the Association's maintenance of a
negative short-term gap position has been beneficial to the net
interest margin. Notwithstanding the favorable interest rate
environment, the Association in general has maintained a strong
net interest margin as the result of its high IEA/IBL ratio.
Earnings were depressed for the most recent twelve month period,
<PAGE>

primarily as the result of the one time special assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF.
The Association's Board of Directors has elected to convert
to the stock form of ownership to improve the competitive
position of Union Federal. The additional capital realized from
conversion proceeds will increase liquidity to support funding of
future loan growth and other interest-earning assets, and reduce
interest rate risk by enhancing the Association's IEA/IBL ratio,
which, will in turn reduce the repricing mismatch between the
Association's interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-
sensitive liabilities. The additional funds realized from the
stock offering will also serve as an alternative funding source
to deposits in meeting the Association's future funding needs,
which will allow for competitive pricing in the Association's
deposit rates. Additionally, Union Federal's significant equity-
to-assets ratio will also better position the Association to take
advantage of expansion opportunities as they arise. Such
expansion would most likely occur through acquiring branches or
other financial institutions in areas that would provide for
further penetration in the markets currently served by the
Association or nearby surrounding markets. Expansion may also be
pursued through acquiring financial services that are not
currently offered by the Association. At this time, the
Association has no specific plans for expansion other than

internal growth. The Association's projected internal use of
proceeds are highlighted below.
o Holding Company. Approximately 50 percent of the net
conversion proceeds will be retained by Union Community
Bancorp. Such funds will initially be used to provide
a loan to the Association's ESOP trust, and the balance
will be invested into short-term investments. Over
time, the Holding Company funds may be utilized for
various corporate purposes, including payment of
dividends and possible repurchase of common stock
consistent with OTS limitations.
o Union Federal. Approximately 50 percent of the net
proceeds of the conversion will be infused into the
Association in exchange for all of the Association's
newly issued stock. Proceeds infused into the
Association will initially be invested into short-term
investments. Over time, the proceeds are expected to
be redeployed into the Association's loan growth,
normal investment activities and to possibly paydown
borrowings.
Overall, it is the Association's objective to pursue growth
that will serve to increase returns, while, at the same time,
growth will not be pursued that compromises the credit quality or
increases the overall risk associated with Union Federal's
operations. The Association has acknowledged that it intends to
operate with excess capital in the near term, operating with a
below market return on equity, until such time as the new capital
can be leveraged in a safe and sound manner over an extended
period of time.
Balance Sheet Trends

Page 1.8
From December 31, 1992 through June 30, 1997, Union Federal
exhibited annual asset growth of positive 6.6 percent (see Table
1.1). During this period, the Association's interest-earning
asset composition exhibited a shift towards loans, as the loans
receivable balance increased from 74.1 percent of assets at
fiscal year end 1992 to 86.8 percent of assets at June 30, 1997.
The increase in the concentration of loans maintained as percent
of assets resulted from both growth of the loan portfolio, as
well as shrinkage in the investment and mortgage-backed
securities balances. Assets growth has been primarily funded by
deposits, and, to a lesser degree, borrowings and retained
earnings.
Union Federal's loan portfolio increased at a 10.5 percent
annual rate from fiscal year end 1992 through June 30, 1997,
exhibiting positive growth throughout the period. The most
notable loan growth occurred during fiscal 1996, with net loan
growth approximating $11.4 million. Consistent with the
Association's traditional emphasis on originating and retaining
1-4 family permanent mortgage loans, loan growth recorded during
fiscal 1996 and over the entire five and one-half year period was
primarily attributable to growth in the 1-4 family loan
portfolio. While 1-4 family loans accounted for the major
portion of the Association's loan growth, the concentration of 1-
4 family loans comprising Union Federal's loan portfolio
composition declined from 81.4 percent at fiscal year end 1992 to
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.9
77.9 percent at June 30, 1997. The decline in the concentration
of 1-4 family loans was mostly due to growth of the multi-family
loan portfolio, which increased from 9.0 percent of total loans
outstanding at fiscal year end 1992 to 13.6 percent of total
loans outstanding at June 30, 1997 and has represented the
Association's most prominent area of lending diversification over
the past five and one-half fiscal years. The balance of the
mortgage loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate and
construction loans, where limited growth has been recorded over
the past five and one-half fiscal years. Commercial real estate
and construction loans equaled 4.7 percent and 3.7 percent of
total loans outstanding, respectively, at June 30, 1997. Union

lending has been very limited, consisting of modest balances of
consumer loans which have accounted for less than 1.0 percent of
the loan portfolio throughout the past five and one-half years.
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, the
Association's balance of cash, investment securities and FHLB
stock has been fairly stable, although declining as a percent of
assets from 10.8 percent at fiscal year end 1992 to 7.7 percent
of assets at June 30, 1997. As of June 30, 1997, the investment
securities portfolio totaled $3.5 million and consisted entirely
of U.S. Government and federal agency securities. The investment
securities portfolio is classified as held to maturity,
reflecting the Association's general philosophy of not selling
securities. Exhibit I-4 provides historical detail of the
Association's investment portfolio. The investment portfolio
consists primarily of securities with maturities of less than
five years, and to a much lesser extent securities with
maturities ranging between five and ten years. In addition to
investment securities, the Association held cash and cash
equivalents of $2.3 million at June 30, 1997, which was fairly
typical of the level of liquidity that has been maintained by the
Association over the past five and one-half fiscal years. Union
Federal's FHLB stock balance equaled $708,000 or 0.8 percent of
assets at June 30, 1997.
Mortgage-backed securities comprise the balance of the
Association's interest-earning assets composition, serving as an
<PAGE>

Page 1.12
investment alternative to 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans.
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, the Association's
mortgage-backed securities balance has trended steadily lower,
declining from a high of $8.7 million, or 13.8 percent, of
assets, at fiscal year end 1992 to a low of $2.4 million, or 2.9
percent, of assets, at June 30, 1997. Mortgage-backed securities
held by the Association consists of participation certificates,
which have been issued by FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. The mortgage-
backed securities portfolio is classified as held to maturity and
consists primarily of fixed rate securities.
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, Union
Federal's funding needs have been substantially met through
retail deposits, internal cash flows, borrowings and retained
earnings. From fiscal year end 1992 through June 30, 1997, the
Association's deposits increased at an annual rate of 3.7
percent. After experiencing a decline in deposits during fiscal
1994, the Association has recorded positive deposit growth over
the past two and one-half fiscal years. Most of the increase in
deposits has consisted of CDs, which is consistent with the
Association's deposit composition. The Association's deposit
composition has exhibited little change over the past five and
one-half fiscal years, with CDs accounting for 78.8 percent and
77.2 percent of Union Federal's deposits at December 31, 1992 and
June 30, 1997, respectively. Transaction and savings accounts
comprise the balance of the Association's deposits, amounting to
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.13
22.8 percent of deposits at June 30, 1997 and 21.2 percent of
total deposits at December 31, 1992. Money market funds
represent the largest component of the Association's transaction
and savings account balance, approximating 65 percent of the
balance at June 30, 1997.
Borrowings for the Association totaled $7.1 million, or 8.4
percent of assets at June 30, 1997, versus a comparative zero
balance maintained at fiscal year end 1992. The Association has
maintained a limited amount of borrowings over the past three and
one-half fiscal years, consisting primarily of FHLB advances to
support control of funding costs. FHLB advances accounted for
$5.8 million of the Association's borrowings at June 30, 1997,
with the balance consisting of a $1.2 million note payable to a
limited partnership which is 99 percent owned by Union Federal's
wholly-owned subsidiary UFS Service Corp ("UFS"). The note
payable is being paid down over a ten year period, with the final
payment due in 2004.
Positive earnings during the past five and one-half fiscal
years translated into an annual capital growth rate of 9.3
percent for the Association. Capital growth outpaced the
Association's asset growth rate, as Union Federal's equity-to-
assets ratio increased from 15.4 percent at the end of fiscal
1992 to 17.2 percent at June 30, 1997. All of the Association's
capital is tangible capital, and the Association maintained
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.14
significant capital surpluses relative to all of its regulatory
capital requirements at June 30, 1997. The addition of
conversion proceeds will serve to further strengthen Union
Federal's capital position and competitive posture within its
primary market, as well as support expansion into other nearby
markets if favorable growth opportunities are presented. At the
same time, as the result of the Association's relatively high pro
forma capital position , which will likely exceed 30.0 percent of
assets, Union Federal's return on equity ("ROE") can be expected
to be well below industry averages following its conversion.
Income and Expense Trends
The Association has reported positive earnings over the last
five and one-half fiscal years (see Table 1.2), ranging from a
low of 1.13 percent of average assets for fiscal 1996 and for the
twelve months ended June 30, 1997 to a high of 1.94 percent of
average assets in fiscal 1992. Earnings during the most recent
twelve month period and during fiscal 1996 were depressed by the
one time special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF. The
relatively high level of earnings posted during fiscal 1992 was
supported by a gain realized from the sale of investment
securities. Consistent with the Association's traditional thrift
operating mode, net interest income and operating expenses have
been the dominant factors in Union Federal's earnings. Non-
interest operating income, exclusive of the limited partnership
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.15
investment, has been a limited contributor to the Association's
earnings. Losses have been recorded on the limited partnership
investment, which are essentially offset by tax credits realized
from the limited partnership's investment in a low- and moderate-
income housing project. Loss provisions established by the
Association have typically been limited, given Union Federal's
generally favorable credit quality measures. With the exception
of the gain on the sale of investment securities recorded during
fiscal 1996, gains and losses realized from the sale of loans and
investments have not had an impact on the Association's earnings
during the past five and one-half fiscal years.

Union Federal's level of net interest income before
provisions for loan losses peaked at 4.18 percent of average
assets during fiscal 1993 and then trended lower over the next
three fiscal years to equal a low of 3.43 percent during fiscal
1996. For the twelve months ended June 30, 1997, Union Federal's
net interest income to average assets ratio increased slightly to
3.52 percent. The stronger net interest margins exhibited by the
Association during fiscal years 1991 through 1993 were supported
by a number of factors, including the declining interest rate
environment, an improving capital position, and a shift in the
Association's deposit composition towards lower costing savings
accounts. Comparatively, the lower net interest margins recorded
by the Association since fiscal 1993 have been primarily
attributable to higher funding costs, reflecting the more
immediate impact that interest rate movements have on the
Association's interest-bearing liabilities relative to its
interest-earning assets. However, the decline in the net
interest income ratio during fiscal 1994 was the result of the
interest income ratio declining more sharply than the interest
expense ratio, reflecting the loss of yield income attributable
to 1-4 family loans being refinanced into lower rate loans during
fiscal years 1992 and 1993. The slight increase posted in Union
Federal's net interest income ratio during the most recent twelve
month period was supported by a higher IEA/IBL ratio and a slight
widening of the interest rate spread.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.18
The impact of interest rates on Union Federal's' net
interest margin is further revealed through examination of the
Association's historical yields and costs and resulting interest
rate spreads as set forth in Exhibits I-3 and I-5. In general,
trends in the Association's net interest margin paralleled the
widening and narrowing of its interest rate spread. After
peaking at 3.45 percent during fiscal 1993, Union Federal's
interest rate spread declined steadily over the next three fiscal
years to equal 2.54 percent during fiscal 1996. The most
significant decline in the Association's interest rate spread
occurred during fiscal 1995, which was the result of a sharp
increase in Union Federal's funding costs. From fiscal 1994 to
fiscal 1995, the weighted average cost of the Association's
interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.42 percent to 5.46
percent, with most of the increase being attributable to higher
rates paid on CDs. To a lesser extent, higher rates paid on
transaction and savings accounts and higher borrowing costs
contributed to the increase in Union Federal's funding costs
during fiscal 1995. Overall, the Association's interest rate
spread declined from 3.25 percent in fiscal 1994 to 2.69 percent
in fiscal 1995. Comparatively, the more modest reduction in
Union Federal's fiscal 1996 interest rate spread (declining from
2.69 percent in fiscal 1995 to 2.54 percent in fiscal 1996) was
primarily attributable to a decline in yield on interest-earning
assets, with most of the decline in yield occurring in the loan
portfolio. Union Federal's interest rate spread increased to
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.19
2.62 percent during the six months ended June 30, 1997, with
lower CD costs accounting for most of the increase. Union
Federal's net interest margin will likely be enhanced by the
stock offering, due to the reinvestment of interest-free capital
into interest-earning assets and the higher IEA/IBL ratio that
will result from the Association's increased capital position.
Consistent with the Association's adherence to a traditional
thrift operating philosophy and resultant limited
diversification, sources of non-interest operating income have
not been a significant contributor to the Association's earnings.
Throughout the period shown in Table 1.2, sources of non-interest
operating income, exclusive of the limited partnership
investment, ranged from 0.02 percent to 0.07 percent of average
assets. For the twelve months ended June 30, 1997, Union
Federal's non-interest operating income equaled 0.07 percent of
average assets. Sources of non-interest operating income consist
substantially of fees and charges. Beyond its limited
diversification in general, the relatively low level of checking
accounts comprising deposits has been a constraining factor with
respect to the amount of non-interest operating income generated
by the Association. Checking accounts have been offered by the
Association for only about three years and, as of June 30, 1997,
checking accounts comprised only 1.8 percent of Union Federal
deposits.

When factoring in the limited partnership investment by UFS,
the Association's non-interest operating income has been negative
for the past three and one-half fiscal years. The limited
partnership investment consists of a 48-unit apartment complex in
Crawfordsville, Indiana, which is operated as a low- to moderate-
income housing project. The losses are primarily attributable to
the accelerated depreciation of assets and, as previously noted,
are substantially offset by tax credits the project qualifies for
as a low- and moderate-income housing project. For the twelve
months ended June 30,1997, the loss resulting from the limited
partnership investment was $208,000, or negative 0.26 percent of
average assets. At this time, the Association has no plans to
further diversify into activities that would generate additional
non-interest operating income and, thus, Union Federal's earnings
can be expected to remain highly dependent upon the net interest
margin.
Operating expenses have been effectively maintained at
relatively low levels throughout the period shown in Table 1.2,
ranging from a high of 1.40 percent of average assets in fiscal
1995 to a low of 1.17 percent of average assets for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997. The lower operating expense ratio
reflected for the most recent twelve month period was supported
by the reduction in the deposit insurance premium paid by SAIF-
insured thrifts. Steady asset growth, combined with the
Association's limited diversification and one office operation,
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.21
have served to contain the Association's operating expense ratio.
As highlighted by the Association's assets per full time
equivalent employee measure of $7.0 million, a key factor in
Union Federal's ability to control operating expense has been the
efficiency of its operation in terms of staffing requirements.
Comparatively, assets per full time equivalent employee equaled
$4.5 million for all publicly-traded SAIF-insured thrifts.
Upward pressure will be placed on the Association's operating
expense ratio following the conversion, due to expenses
associated with operating as a publicly-traded company, including
expenses related to the stock benefit plans. Additionally, to
the extent Union Federal seeks to more aggressively leverage the
balance sheet following conversion, it would likely entail
incurring higher operating expenses to support expansion of its
operations. Overall, the Association's low level of operating
expenses and healthy net interest have supported maintenance of a
favorable expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by
operating expenses) over the past five and one-half years. For
the twelve months ended June 30, 1997, Union Federal's expense
coverage ratio equaled 3.01 times, indicating favorable core
earnings strength for the Association.
Loss provisions established by the Association were
relatively minor during fiscal years 1992 through 1996, which can
be attributed to the Association's maintenance of favorable
credit quality measures and emphasis on 1-4 family lending.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.22
Union Federal established higher loss provisions during the
twelve months ended June 30, 1997, to address a charge-off taken
on a multi-family loan and the overall growth of the loan
portfolio, including growth of higher risk multi-family loans.
Loss provisions established by the Association during the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997 totaled $135,000, or 0.17 percent of
average assets. The charge-off taken on the multi-family loan
was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
amounted to $72,000, or approximately 45 percent of the loan loss
reserve balance maintained by the Association at the beginning of
the six month period. As of June 30, 1997, the Association
maintained valuation allowances of $198,000, equal to 0.27
percent of net loans receivable and 97.5 percent of non-
performing assets. Exhibit I-6 sets forth the Association's loan
loss allowance activity during the past three and one-half fiscal
years.
The one time assessment to recapitalize the SAIF has been
the only significant non-recurring item to impact the
Association's earnings in recent years. Union Federal's SAIF
assessment was $362,000, equaling 0.45 percent of average assets
for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997. With the exception of
fiscal 1992, gains and losses resulting from the sale of
investments have not been a significant factor in the
Association's earnings. In fiscal 1992, the Association sold
FHLMC stock for a gain of $306,000 or 0.49 percent of average
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.23
assets. Given the Association's current general philosophy of
classifying all investments as held to maturity and retaining all
loan originations for its own portfolio, gains are expected to
remain an immaterial factor in the Association's earnings going
forward.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Union Federal's balance sheet is liability-sensitive, as the
Association's interest-earning assets are primarily funded with
deposits that mature or are subject to repricing within one year.
Comparatively, a relatively higher concentration of Union
Federal's interest-earning assets mature or reprice in more than
one year; particularly, with respect to the Association's
portfolio of 1-4 family loans. As of December 31, 1996, of the
total loans due after one year from December 31, 1996, fixed rate
loans comprised 66.5 percent of those loans (see Exhibit I-7).
Union Federal pursues management of interest rate risk from
both the asset and liability sides of the balance, with the
intent of maintaining a certain degree of interest rate risk that
will provide for enhanced profitability during periods of low and
declining interest rates. Strategies implemented by the
Association to support control of interest rate risk on the asset
side include increasing the interest rate sensitivity of the 1-4
family loan portfolio through originating fixed rate loans with
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.24
terms of 20 years or less and balloon loans which balloon in 15
years or less, diversifying into other types of lending which
consists primarily of short-term and adjustable rate loans, and
maintaining the bulk of the investment portfolio in securities
which mature in less than five years. On the liability side,
management of interest rate risk is largely pursued through
offering attractive rates on certain longer term CDs from time-
to-time.
The short-term repricing mismatch between the Association's
interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities indicates that net
interest income will be somewhat inconsistent in various interest
rate environments, with declining and low interest rate
environments being more beneficial to Union Federal's net
interest margin. Comparatively, the Association's net interest
margin is adversely impacted by rising and higher interest rates,
as highlighted by the narrowing of Union Federal's yield-cost
spread during the past three fiscal years. However, given the
Association's current IEA/IBL ratio of 118.8 percent, which will
become stronger following the infusion of conversion proceeds,
Union Federal has the capacity to take on a certain degree of
interest rate risk and sustain positive, although lower, core
earnings during periods of moderately rising interest rates. As
of June 30, 1997, the Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") analysis
provided by the OTS indicated that a 2.0 percent instantaneous
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.25
and sustained increase in interest rates would result in a 23
percent decline in the Association's NPV (see Exhibit I-8).
Lending Activities and Strategy
The Association's lending activities have traditionally
concentrated on the origination and retention of 1-4 family
permanent mortgage loans (see Exhibits I-9 and I-10, which
reflect loan composition and lending activity, respectively). As
of June 30, 1997, $58.7 million, or 77.9 percent, of Union
Federal's total loan portfolio was comprised of loans secured by
1-4 family permanent mortgage loans. Lending diversification by
the Association has emphasized multi-family loans, which amounted
to $10.2 million, or 13.6 percent, of total loans outstanding at
June 30, 1997. The balance of Union Federal's mortgage loan
portfolio consists of commercial real estate and construction
loans, equaling $3.5 million, or 4.7 percent, and $2.8 million,
or 3.7 percent, of total loans outstanding, respectively, as of
June 30, 1997. Union Federal's diversification into non-mortgage
lending has been very limited, consisting of small balances of
consumer loans. As of June 30, 1997, the consumer loan balance
equaled $143,000, or 0.2 percent, of total loans outstanding.
Exhibit I-11 provides the contractual maturity of the
Association's loan portfolio, by loan type, as of December 31,
1996.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.26
Union Federal originates both fixed rate and adjustable rate
1-4 family loans, retaining all originations for portfolio.
Standard fixed rate loans offered by the Association have terms
for 15 or 20 years, while balloon loans have terms of up to 15
years and are amortized over a 30-year period. Union Federal
offers a 1-year ARM loan product, which is amortized over a 25-
year period. ARM loans are indexed to the one-year U.S. Treasury
securities yields adjusted to a constant maturity and are
currently subject to annual and life time repricing caps of 1.0
percent and 5.0 percent, respectively. Initial rates on ARM
loans are typically discounted from the fully indexed rate,
although the borrower is qualified at the fully indexed rate.
The origination of ARM loans has not been an active lending
market for the Association in recent years, as the substantial
proportion of Union Federal's 1-4 family loan demand has
consisted of fixed rate loan originations. Union Federal will
originate 1-4 family loans up to a loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio of
95.0 percent, although private mortgage insurance ("PMI") is
typically required for loans with LTV ratios above 80.0 percent.
On a limited basis, the Association also originates
construction loans to finance the construction of 1-4 family
residences. To a lesser extent, construction loans are extended
on multi-family and commercial properties. Most of the
Association's construction lending activities consist of loans to
finance the construction of pre-sold single-family houses, which
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.27
are extended as a construction/permanent loan.
Construction/permanent loans require payment of interest only
during the construction period and are originated under similar
terms to the comparative permanent mortgage loan. Land loans
serve as a complement to the Association's 1-4 family lending
activities, as they consist of single-family lot loans extended
to individuals for building their primary residence. Terms of
land loans offered by the Association generally require a LTV
ratio of 75.0 percent or less and have terms of up to 15 years.
Both construction and land lending are expected to remain as
minor areas of lending diversification for the Association.
Commercial real estate and multi-family loans represent the
most notable area of lending diversification for the Association,
and has been an area of lending growth for Union Federal. Growth
of the commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolio has
been facilitated by the purchase of loan participations, which
the Association has been doing since the late-1980s. Most of the
participations consist of loans secured by multi-family
properties, but do include some commercial properties as well.
Loan participations are purchased from other Indiana-based
institutions and are generally secured by Indiana properties,
although a minor amount of the participation loan portfolio is
secured by Ohio properties. Loan participations are subject to
the same underwriting criteria applied to commercial real estate
and multi-family loans that are originated by the Association.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.28
Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally
extended up to a LTV ratio of 80.0 percent and are originated as
either adjustable or fixed rate loans with up to 20 year
amortization terms. Consistent with the higher credit risk
associated with commercial real estate and multi-family loans,
loan rates offered on those loans are at a premium to the
Association's 1-4 family loan rates. Properties securing the
commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolio include
apartments, churches, office buildings, a nursing home, and a
mobile home park. As of June 30, 1997, the Association's largest
loan outstanding was secured by a multi-family loan and had an
outstanding balance of $1.1 million. The largest commercial real
estate loan held by the Association at June 30, 1997 was secured
by a nursing home and had an outstanding balance of $500,000.
Both loans were performing in accordance with their terms.
Commercial real estate and multi-family lending is a desired
growth area for the Association, with most of the growth expected
to be realized though originations of multi-family loans. Future
growth through the purchase of loan participations is expected to
be limited.
Diversification into non-mortgage lending has been very
limited for the Association, consisting of a nominal amount of
consumer loans. The consumer loan portfolio consists of loans
secured by passbook deposits and home improvement loans. Home
improvement loans are generally offered as fixed rate loans with
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.29
terms of up to seven years and a maximum LTV ratio of 80.0
percent of the combined balance of the home improvement loan and
the first lien, subject to a maximum loan balance of $7,500.
Growth in the consumer loan portfolio is being pursued by
Association, although such growth is not expected to be
significant. Consumer loan growth may include growth into other
types of lending such as direct auto loans and home equity lines
of credit.
Exhibit I-10, which shows the Association's loan
originations and repayments over the past three and one-half
fiscal years, further highlights Union Federal's emphasis on
originating 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans. Originations of
1-4 family permanent mortgage loans accounted for 75.1 percent of
the Association's total lending volume during the past three and
one-half fiscal years. Construction and multi-family loan
originations represented the most active areas of lending
diversification for Union Federal over the past three and one-
half fiscal years, while limited originations were reflected for
commercial real estate and consumer loans. Purchases of loan
participations were most significant during fiscal 1996,
amounting to $1.4 million. Union Federal has recorded positive
loan growth over the past three and one-half fiscal years, with
the most notable growth occurring during fiscal 1996. Gross
loans receivable increased from $63.0 million at fiscal year end
1995 to $73.6 million at fiscal year end 1996, which was
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.30
supported by an increase in 1-4 family loan originations from
$9.7 million during fiscal 1995 to $19.3 million during fiscal
1996. Union Federal retains all loan originations for portfolio.
Going forward, the Association's lending strategy is to place a
greater emphasis on the origination of multi-family loans,
although the origination of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans
is expected to remain as the Association's most prominent lending
activity.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.31
Asset Quality
The Association's historical 1-4 family lending emphasis has
generally supported favorable credit quality measures. Over the
past three and one-half fiscal years, Union Federal's non-
performing assets-to-assets ratio has ranged from a high of 0.59
percent at fiscal year end 1996 to a low of 0.20 percent at
fiscal year ends 1994. As of June 30, 1997, Union Federal's
balance of non-performing assets totaled $203,000, or 0.24
percent, of total assets. As shown in Exhibit I-12, non-
performing assets held by the Association at June 30, 1997
consisted of $122,000 of non-accruing loans and $81,000 of real
estate owned. Non-accruing loans held by the Association at June
30, 1997 consisted only of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans.
The Association reviews and classifies assets on a regular
basis and establishes loan loss provisions based on the overall
quality, size and composition of the loan portfolio, as well
other factors such as historical loss experience, industry trends
and local real estate market and economic conditions. At June
30, 1997, the Association had $203,000 of assets classified as
Substandard, which constituted the non-performing assets balance.
The Association maintained valuation allowances of $198,000 at
June 30, 1997, equal to 0.27 percent of net loans receivable and
97.5 percent of non-performing assets.
Funding Composition and Strategy
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.32
Deposits have consistently been the Association's primary
source of funds, and at June 30, 1997 deposits constituted 89.8
percent of Union Federal's interest-bearing liabilities. Exhibit
I-13 sets forth the Association's historical deposit composition
and Exhibit I-14 reflects the interest rate and maturity
composition of the CD portfolio at June 30, 1997. The
Association's deposit composition has consistently been
concentrated in CDs, with Union Federal's current CD composition
reflecting a higher concentration of short-term CDs (maturities
of one year or less). As of June 30, 1997, the CD portfolio
totaled $47.9 million, or 77.2 percent, of total deposits, with
55.2 percent of those CDs having maturities of one year or less.
As of June 30, 1997, jumbo CDs (CD accounts with balances of
$100,000 or more) amounted to $7.5 million, or 15.7 percent, of
total CDs. Union Federal typically pays a slight premium for
higher balance CDs. Deposit rates offered by the Association are
generally in the middle to upper end of the range of rates
offered by local competitors.
Lower costing savings and transaction accounts comprise the
remainder of Union Federal's deposits, amounting to
$14.2 million, or 22.8, percent of total deposits at June 30,
1997. Over the past three and one-half fiscal years, the
Association's concentration of transaction and savings accounts
comprising total deposits has declined slightly (24.6 percent at
fiscal year 1994 versus 22.8 percent at June 30, 1997). Growth
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.33
in CDs has accounted for the declining ratio of transaction and
savings accounts maintained by the Association, as Union
Federal's balance of savings and transaction accounts increased
slightly from fiscal year end 1994 to June 30, 1997 ($13.5
million versus $14.2 million).
Borrowings have been utilized to a limited degree by the
Association in recent years, primarily consisting of FHLB
advances to support control of deposit costs. The Association's
borrowings totaled $7.1 million at June 30, 1997, of which $5.9
million consisted of FHLB advances. Exhibit I-15 provides detail
of the Association's use of FHLB advances over the past three and
one-half fiscal years. Most of the Association's FHLB advances
have short-term repricing periods. The balance of the
Association's borrowings at June 30, 1997, consisted of a $1.2
million note payable to a limited partnership which is 99 percent
owned by Union Federal's wholly-owned subsidiary UFS. The note
payable is a non-interest bearing note that is being paid down
over a ten year period, with the final payment due in 2004. To
the extent additional borrowings are utilized by the Association,
such borrowings are expected to consist primarily of FHLB
advances.
Subsidiary
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.34
Union Federal maintains one wholly-owned subsidiary, U.F.S.
Service Corporation ("UFS"), which is a limited partner in a
joint venture affordable housing project known as Shady Knoll II
apartments, a 48-unit apartment complex located in
Crawfordsville, Indiana. The partnership, Pedcor Investments
1993-XVI, L.P. ("Pedcor") is 99 percent owned by UFS and the
remaining 1 percent is owned by the general partner, Pedcor
Investments. The apartment complex is completed and performing
as planned. As a result of its investment in the project, UFS
receives low income housing tax credits from the Indiana Housing
Financial Authority, which are transferred by UFS to Union
Federal. UFS is required to make annual installment capital
contributions to the partnership, which will total approximately
$1.8 million over an eleven year period through the year 2004.
The capital contributions will be used for operating and other
expenses of the partnership, including making annual debt
payments on the $1.2 million "bridge" loan obtained from Union
Federal.
For the year ended 1996 and the six months ended June 30,
1997, Union Federal recorded equity losses from the Pedcor
investment of $173,000 and $62,000, respectively. Union Federal
also recorded the benefit of low income housing tax credits
realized from the Pedcor investment of $178,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and $89,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. UFS does not engage in any activity or hold any

other subsidiary activities are being planned by the Association.

II. MARKET AREA
Introduction
Union Federal conducts operations out of its sole office
facility in Crawfordsville, Indiana, which is located in west-
central Indiana approximately 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
Crawfordsville is the largest city in Montgomery County, Indiana
and serves as the hub of economic activity for Montgomery County.
In addition to its own economy, growth in Montgomery County has
been fostered by its central location between Indianapolis and
Lafayette. The primary market area for Union Federal is
considered to be Montgomery County, supplemented by additional
business generated in the nearby surrounding counties of Putnam,
Parke, Fountain, Hendricks and Boone. Exhibit II-1 provides
information on the Association's office facility.
A community-oriented institution, Union Federal has
conducted business in Montgomery County since it was established
in 1913. In this regard, the Association has developed strong
ties to the local community and benefits from a loyal customer
base. However, while somewhat rural in nature, the competition
for financial services in Montgomery County is notable for the
size of the population base served. As of June 30, 1996, a total
of 22 branches were maintained by commercial banks and thrifts in
Montgomery County, which served a population of approximately
37,000.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.2
Future growth opportunities for Union Federal depend in part
on national economic factors, the future growth in the market
area, which has been measured by indicators such as demographic
growth trends, the health and stability of the regional and local
economy, and the nature and intensity of the competitive
environment for financial institutions. These factors have been
briefly examined to help determine the growth potential that
exists for the Association, and the relative economic health of
the Association's market area.
Market Area Demographics
Demographic and economic growth trends, measured by changes
in population, number of households, age distribution and median
household income, provide key insight into the health of the
Association's market area (see Table 2.1). In the 1990s, the
Association's market area has exhibited similar growth
characteristics relative to the comparative growth rates of
Indiana and the U.S. From 1990 to 1997, Montgomery County's 1.1
percent annual population growth rate slightly outpaced Indiana's
growth rate and was equal to the U.S. growth rate over the same
time period. Likewise, Montgomery County's household growth rate
was comparable to the Indiana and U.S. measures, from 1990
through 1997. Over the next five years, the rate of population
growth for Montgomery County is projected to slow modestly, which
is consistent with projected population growth rates for Indiana
and the U.S. as well. However, Montgomery County's

household growth rate is projected to remain stable over the next
five years, equaling the projected growth rates for Indiana and
the U.S.
Median household income for Montgomery County exceeded the
Indiana and U.S. comparative measures in 1997, while 1997 per
capita income for Montgomery County was slightly above and below
the comparative Indiana and U.S. measures, respectively.
Montgomery County's median household income and per capita income
increased at slightly lower rates than the comparative Indiana
growth rates from 1990 to 1997, with both the County's and the
State's growth rates exceeding the comparative growth rate
measures for the U.S. Consistent with the U.S. and Indiana,
growth in household income is projected to slow in Montgomery
County over the next five years; however, the projected decline
for Montgomery County's household income growth is less than what
has been projected for Indiana and the U.S. Age and household
income distribution measures further highlight the similarity of
the Association's primary market area demographic
characteristics, relative to those of the U.S. and Indiana.
Montgomery County's population is slightly older as compared to
Indiana and the U.S., as indicated by its higher median age and
higher concentration of residents that are more than 65 years
old. Comparative household income distribution data for
Montgomery County, Indiana and the U.S. reflected a slightly
higher concentration of Montgomery County's household income was
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.6
in the $25,000 to $100,000, while household income for the U.S.
and Indiana reflected slightly higher concentrations of
households earning both above and below that range. Overall,
Montgomery County appears to maintain relatively attractive
growth potential characteristics for a community banking concern
like Union Federal, with the most notable limitation being the
high degree of competition faced for the size of the market area
served.
National Economic Factors
Over the past year, national economic growth has been mixed.
Economic data released during July and August 1996 indicated a
fairly robust pace of economic growth. Such economic data
included a stronger than expected increase in July durable goods
orders, the consumer confidence index hitting a six year high and
a decline in the August unemployment rate. Comparatively, for
the balance of the third quarter, economic data, such as a
decline in August durable goods orders and smaller than expected
increases in August retail sales and consumer prices, suggested
that the economy was cooling off. A slight increase in the
September unemployment rate further signaled a slowing economy.
Economic data released at the beginning of the fourth
quarter generally confirmed that the national economy was
slowing. October unemployment remained at 5.2 percent, although

the number of new jobs being added to the economy was lower
compared to job growth recorded during the late-spring and the
summer. Third quarter GDP growth fell to a 2.2 percent annual
rate, versus a comparative 4.7 percent rate in the second
quarter. Wage data also indicated that inflation was under
control, as wages remained flat for production and nonsupervisory
workers in October, despite a $0.50 increase in the minimum wage
rate that became effective on October 1, 1996. While the
November unemployment rate climbed to 5.4 percent from 5.2
percent in October, inflation concerns were heightened somewhat
by an unexpectedly sharp $0.09 jump in average hourly earnings.
However, most of the economic data released at the close of 1996,
which included jobless claims rising to a five month high in
November and a decline in November durable goods orders,
suggested that the economy was sluggish and non-inflationary.
While fourth quarter GDP growth came in at a stronger than
expected 4.7 percent annual growth rate (subsequently revised to
3.9 percent), most of the economic data released during the
beginning of the first quarter of 1997 indicated a continuation
of moderate economic growth. Such measures as a 1.9 percent
decline in December durable goods orders and a modest uptick in
the January 1997 unemployment rate to 5.4 percent, versus 5.3
percent in December 1996, eased concerns that the economy was
overheating. However, the increase in the unemployment rate was
attributable to more people entering the job force, and some

markets began to experience labor shortages. In congressional
testimony at the end of February 1997, the Federal Reserve
Chairman indicated that he anticipated recent signs of lower job
insecurity among workers would lead to upward pressure in wages,
which could possibly trigger the Federal Reserve to boost
interest rates. Signs of inflation became more notable during
March and April, with most economic indicators posting month-to-
month increases from January to February. Most notably, during
February, industrial production increased 0.5 percent, housing
starts rose 12.2 percent and the sale of existing homes jumped
9.0 percent. Accelerating economic growth was further indicated
by a decline in the March unemployment rate to 5.2 percent,
versus 5.3 percent for February, and a higher than expected rise
in the March "core" producer price index, which posted its
largest increase in 18 months. However, inflation measures
showed that the "Goldilocks Economy" remained in effect, based on
lower producer prices and a lower than expected increase in the
employment cost index. Some of the reasons cited for the low
inflation were a larger labor force, a measurable increase in
productivity, and an increasingly global economy. First quarter
1997 GDP growth was measured at 5.9 percent, far exceeding
analysts' projections.
Second quarter economic data began to show signs of economic
weakening, based on a number of indicators. A lower than
anticipated National Association of Purchasing Managers index in
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.9
April indicated a slowdown of expansion in the manufacturing
sector. New home sales also dropped by 7.7 percent in April
1997, the sharpest decline in six months. Automobile sales for
April and May 1997 declined from year earlier levels, and
discounting became more common by automakers. A rise in the June
unemployment rate and GDP growth slowing to an annual rate of 2.2
percent in the second quarter, which was well below the revised
4.9 percent rate recorded in the first quarter, further signaled
that the economy was slowing to a more sustainable pace.
Economic data released in August provided mixed signals of
economic growth, as a decline in the July unemployment rate and
an unexpectedly sharp decline in the U.S. trade deficit provided
indications of a robust economy. At the same time, a modest
increase in the July consumer price index and a decline in July
wholesale prices suggested that inflation remained non-
threatening.
Consistent with the mixed economic activity, interest rate
trends have been varied as well over the past year. In early-
July 1996, the release of a strong June employment report had a
significant negative impact on bond prices, as the large drop in
unemployment provided for one of the largest one day declines in
bond prices with the yield on the 30-year benchmark bond
increasing from 6.93 percent to 7.18 percent. After trending
lower for a brief period during early- and mid-August, interest
rates moved higher in late-August and early-September as
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.10
inflation concerns were raised by the stronger than expected
economic growth.
The Federal Reserve's decision not to raise interest rates
at its September and October 1996 meetings, along with economic
data providing indications of a cooling economy, translated into
a declining interest rate environment during late-September and
through most of October. Interest rates continued to edge lower
through November, as the October economic data suggested that
inflationary pressures were non-threatening. Bond prices
declined slightly in early-December, as investors focused on
weakness in the dollar and rising oil prices. Concern over
Japanese investors slowing their buying of U.S. Treasury notes
caused bond prices to slide in mid-December, despite economic
data which continued to indicate mild inflation. Interest rates
were somewhat trendless at the close of 1996, as the Federal
Reserve elected not to change interest rates at its December
meeting.
With few inflationary signs, interest rates held steady at
the beginning of 1997, which was followed by a mild easing in
interest rates during the first half of February. Indications of
slowing economic growth and the Federal Reserve's decision to
leave rates unchanged at its early-February meeting spurred the
downward trend in interest rates. However, interest rates edged
higher in late-February, following renewed concerns by the
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.11
Federal Reserve Chairman over the sharp rise in the stock market
during the past two years. After stabilizing briefly, the
strengthening economy and growing expectations of a rate increase
by the Federal Reserve propelled interest rates higher in late-
March. The Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates
by 0.25 percent in late-March, which was followed by a sharp
sell-off in the bond market. For the first time in six months,
the rate on the 30-year benchmark bond moved above 7.0 percent in
late-March.
Inflation concerns pushed interest rates higher during the
first half of April 1997, which was followed by a slight decline
in interest rates on rumors of a national budget accord. News of
the budget agreement and favorable inflation data sustained the
rally in bond prices through early-May. Interest rates
stabilized in mid-May, as the Federal Reserve opted not to raise
interest rates at its May meeting. The high level of consumer
confidence indicated by the May reading caused the 30-year bond
yield to edge above 7.0 percent in late-May. However, the
increase was short-lived, as signs of slowing economic growth
provided for a lower interest rate environment during June.
The downward trend in interest rates became more pronounced
during July 1997, following the Federal Reserve's decision to
leave rates unchanged at its early-July meeting and the release
of new economic data that indicated inflation was under control.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.12
Slower economic growth indicated by the second quarter GDP growth
rate of 2.2 percent sustained the rally in bond prices at the end
of July. However, in early-August, the stronger than expected
job growth reflected in the July employment data and a falling
U.S. dollar against the yen and mark caused bond prices to
tumble. After recovering briefly on the favorable inflation data
indicated by July wholesale and retail prices, bond prices
declined in late-August on news of the narrower than expected
June trade deficit. As of August 22, 1997, one- and thirty-year
U.S. Government bonds were yielding 5.56 percent and 6.65
percent, respectively. Exhibit II-2 provides historical interest
rate trends from 1991 through August 22, 1997.
Local Economy
Manufacturing serves as the basis of the Montgomery County
economy, with manufacturing employment being diversified among a
number of industries. In contrast to the general national trend
of declining employment in the manufacturing sector,
manufacturing jobs increased in Montgomery County from 1989
through 1994. Growth in the manufacturing sector has facilitated
new job growth in other industries as well, most notably with
respect to the services industry. Based on 1994 data (the most
recent data available), the manufacturing sector accounted for
37.0 percent of Montgomery County's employment and 53.1 percent
of total employee earnings in Montgomery County. Service jobs
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.13
represented the second largest employment sector in Montgomery
County (19.8 percent of jobs and 13.9 percent of employee
earnings), followed by wholesale/retail trade (18.1 percent of
jobs and 11.4 percent of employee earnings) and government
services (8.3 of jobs and 7.9 percent of employee earnings).
In addition to local industry, Montgomery County is
supported by its central location between Indianapolis and
Lafayette, thereby, serving as a bedroom community to many of the
County's residents who commute daily to one of those larger
metropolitan areas. As the largest city in Montgomery County,
Crawfordsville is the hub of economic activity in Montgomery
County, and many of the largest employers in Montgomery County
are based in Crawfordsville. The current largest employer in
Crawfordsville is R.R. Donnelly & Sons, which is a commercial
printing concern and employs approximately 2,500 locally. Other
major employers in Montgomery County include manufacturing
companies such as Raybestos Products (frictional parts for brakes
- - 800 employees), Lithonia Hi-Tek Lighting Company (lighting -
600 employees) and Nucor Steel (steel - 480 employees).
Montgomery County's favorable economic climate is further
evidenced by its low unemployment. As shown in Table 2.2, the
June 1997 unemployment data indicated that unemployment in
Montgomery County was lower than the comparative U.S. and Indiana
<PAGE>

Montgomery County declined from a year ago.

Competition
Competition among financial institutions in the
Association's market is fierce, particularly given the relatively
high number of financial institution branches maintained for the
size of the population served. As larger institutions compete
for market share to achieve economies of scale, the market
environment for the Association's products and services is
expected to become increasingly competitive in the future.
Smaller institutions such as Union Federal will be forced either
to compete with larger institutions on pricing, or to identify
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.15
and operate in a "niche" that will allow for operating margins to
be maintained at profitable levels.
Union Federal's retail deposit base is closely tied to the
economic fortunes of Montgomery County, where the Association's
only branch is maintained. Table 2.3 displays deposit market
trends for Montgomery County, with additional data presented for
the State of Indiana. The data indicates that deposit growth in
the Association's primary market area increased at a 2.8 percent
annual rate from June 30, 1994 through June 30, 1996, which was
slightly less than the Indiana deposit growth rate of 3.4
percent. Montgomery County's deposit

growth was primarily the result of growth in commercial bank
deposits, while thrift deposits posted a more modest increase.
The positive deposit growth for thrifts was achieved despite a
decline in branches maintained by thrifts in Montgomery County,
reflecting the national trend of consolidation in thrift
industry.
Union Federal's deposit balance increased at a 2.6 percent
annual rate from June 30, 1994 through June 30, 1996, which
served to preserve its market share of Montgomery County deposits
at 12.3 percent. As a percent of thrift deposits, the
Association's market share of Montgomery County deposits
increased from 33.9 percent at June 30, 1994 to 34.5 percent at
June 30, 1996. Accordingly, commercial banks are viewed as
representing the most notable source of competition for deposits
in the market area served by Union Federal.
Future deposit growth should be enhanced by the conversion,
as the additional capital will improve Union Federal's
competitive position and leverage capacity. The Association
should also continue to benefit from its favorable image as a
locally-owned and community-oriented institution. At the same
time, competitive forces and the relatively small population of
the primary market area served by Union Federal may negatively
impact future deposit growth opportunities for the Association.
To augment the growth that is possible internally, Union Federal
may seek opportunities to expand the Association's deposit growth

institution in current or nearby surrounding markets. However,
at this time, the Association has no definite plans to acquire
additional branches or other financial institutions.

III. PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
This chapter presents an analysis of Union Federal's
operations versus a group of comparable savings institutions (the
"Peer Group") selected from the universe of all publicly-traded
savings institutions. The basis of the pro forma market
valuation of Union Federal is provided by these institutions.
Factors affecting the Association's pro forma value such as
financial condition, credit risk, interest rate risk, loan
composition and recent operating results can be readily assessed
in relation to the Peer Group. Current market pricing of the
Peer Group, subject to appropriate adjustments to account for
differences between Union Federal and the Peer Group, will then
be used as a basis for the pro forma valuation of Union Federal's
to-be-issued common stock.
Selection of Peer Group
We consider the appropriate Peer Group to be comprised of
only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common
stock is either listed on a national exchange or is NASDAQ
listed, since the market for companies trading in this fashion is
regular and reported. We believe non-listed institutions are
inappropriate since the trading activity for thinly-traded stocks
is typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and
may not be a reliable indicator of market value. We have also
excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition,
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.2
mutual holding companies and recent conversions, since their
pricing ratios are subject to distortion and/or do not have a
seasoned trading history.
From the universe of publicly-traded thrifts, we selected
eleven institutions with characteristics similar to those of
Union Federal. In the selection process, we applied two primary
"screens" to the universe of all public companies:
o Screen #1. Indiana institutions with assets between
$75 million and $350 million, equity-to-assets ratios
of at least 12.0 percent, core earnings of 0.75 percent
or above of average assets, and non-performing assets
of less than 2.0 percent of assets. Seven companies
met the criteria for Screen #1 and all were included
for the Peer Group: AMB Financial Corp., Home Bancorp
of Fort Wayne, Logansport Financial Corp., MFB Corp. of
Mishawaka, Marion Capital Holdings, Northeast Indiana
Bancorp, and Peoples Bancorp of Auburn. Exhibit III-2
details the financial characteristics of all publicly-
traded Indiana thrifts.
o Screen #2. Ohio and Illinois institutions with assets
between $75 million and $350 million, equity-to-assets
ratios of at least 12.0 percent, core earnings of 0.75
percent or above of average assets, and non-performing
assets of less than 2.0 percent of assets. Eleven
institutions met the selection criteria for Screen #2
(see Exhibit III-3), and four were included as part of
Union Federal's Peer Group: FFD Financial Corp. of OH,
Industrial Bancorp of OH, WestCo Bancorp of IL, and
Westwood Homestead Financial Corp. of OH.
Of the seven institutions excluded from the Peer Group, three were excluded due
to the recency of their conversions: PS Financial of IL (converted November
1996), Delphos Citizens Bancorp of OH (converted November 1996), and Peoples
Sidney Financial Corp. of OH (converted April 1997). One company (Park Bancorp
of IL) was excluded on the basis of maintaining a relatively low concentration
of loans as a percent of assets, which was in contrast to Union Federal's
interest-earning asset composition. Park Bancorp's loans-to-assets ratio equaled
38.7 percent, as of June
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.3
30, 1997. Two companies were excluded on the basis of maintaining comparatively
low equity/assets ratios: Wood Bancorp of OH (equity/assets ratio of 12.3
percent) and Enterprise Federal of OH (equity/assets ratio of 12.3 percent). ASB
Financial Corp. of OH was the other company excluded from the Peer Group, as the
result of maintaining a comparatively high level of non-performing assets
(NPAs/assets ratio of 1.58 percent).
Table 3.1 on the following page shows the general
characteristics of each of the Peer Group companies and Exhibit
III-4 provides summary demographic data for the primary market
areas served by each of the Peer Group companies. In general,
the Peer Group is comprised of relatively small institutions
operating with strong capital ratios that are facing the same
leverage challenge that will be faced by Union Federal as a newly
converted company. At the same time, while the Peer Group
companies have strong capital ratios, Union Federal's pro forma
capital position will be well above the Peer Group's average
equity-to-assets ratio. While there are some differences between
the Peer Group companies and Union Federal, we believe that the
Peer Group provides a good representation of publicly-traded
thrifts with operations comparable to those of the Association
and, thus, will provide a good basis for valuation. The
following sections present a comparison of Union Federal's
financial condition, income and expense measures, loan
composition, interest rate risk and credit risk versus the Peer
Group. The conclusions drawn from the comparative analysis are
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.4
then factored into the valuation analysis discussed in the final
chapter.
A summary description of the key characteristics of each of
the Peer Group companies, which we determined warranted their
inclusion as a comparable institution to Union Federal, is
detailed below.
o AMB Financial Corp. of IN. Selected due to Indiana market
area, traditional thrift operating strategy, comparable
asset size, strong capital position, comparable funding
composition, similar diversification of loan portfolio
composition into higher risk types of lending, and favorable
credit quality measures.
o FFD Financial Corp. of OH. Selected due to traditional
thrift operating strategy, high level of capital, comparable
funding composition, limited earnings contribution from
sources of non-interest operating income, low level of
operating expenses, similar concentration of 1-4 family
permanent mortgage loans comprising the MBS and loan
portfolio, and favorable credit quality measures.
o Home Bancorp of Fort Wayne IN. Selected due to Indiana
market area, traditional thrift operating strategy, similar
concentration of loans comprising interest-earning assets,
limited earnings

In aggregate, the Peer Group companies are more highly
capitalized than the industry average (18.28 percent of assets
versus 12.92 percent for the all SAIF average), generate higher
earnings (1.22 percent core ROAA versus 0.75 percent for the all
SAIF average), and generate a lower ROE (6.65 percent core ROE
versus 7.54 percent for the all SAIF average). Overall, the Peer
Group's average P/B ratio and core P/E multiple were below the
respective comparable SAIF averages (see next page). The Peer
Group's below market P/B ratio is viewed as being largely a
function of the Peer Group's high capital ratio and resulting low
ROE. Likewise, the Peer Group's lower P/E multiple may be
attributed to maintenance of a relatively low ROE. RP Financial
concluded that the same attributes will apply to Union Federal's
conversion stock, further confirming the applicability of the
Peer Group selection for deriving the Association's pro forma
market value.

Ideally, the Peer Group companies would be comparable to
Union Federal in terms of all of the selection criteria, but the
universe of publicly-traded thrifts does not provide for an
appropriate number of such companies. However, in general, the
companies selected for the Peer Group were fairly comparable to
Union Federal, as will be highlighted in the following
comparative analysis.
Financial Condition
Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for Union
Federal and the Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities
and some differences given the selection procedures outlined
above. The Association's and the Peer Group's ratios reflect
balances as of June 30, 1997. Union Federal's net worth base of
17.2 percent was slightly below the Peer Group's average net
worth ratio of 18.3 percent. Accordingly, with the consummation
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.9
of the conversion and infusion of the net conversion proceeds,
the Association will maintain a notably higher equity-to-assets
ratio than the Peer Group. Union Federal's pro forma equity-to-
assets ratio is expected to exceed 30.0 percent. All of Union
Federal's and the Peer Group's capital consisted of tangible
capital. Union Federal's higher pro forma capital position will
be favorable from a risk perspective and in terms of future
earnings potential that could be realized through leverage and
lower funding costs. However, at the same time, the
Association's high pro forma capitalization will likely result in
a relatively low return on equity for an extended period of time.
Both the Association's and the Peer Group's capital ratios

significant capital surpluses with respect to the regulatory
capital requirements, with the Association's ratios currently
indicating slightly greater capital surpluses.
The interest-earning asset compositions for the Association
and the Peer Group were somewhat similar, with loans and
mortgage-backed securities constituting the bulk of interest-
earning assets for Union Federal and the Peer Group. Union
Federal's combined level of loans and mortgage-backed securities
was higher than the Peer Group's ratio (89.7 percent versus 81.4
percent for the Peer Group), with the Association maintaining a
higher concentration of loans and a lower concentration of
mortgage-backed securities relative to the comparative Peer Group
ratios. Comparatively, the Peer Group's cash and investments to
assets ratio was higher than the comparable ratio for the
Association (16.2 percent versus 7.7 percent for the
Association). Overall, Union Federal's interest-earning assets
amounted to 97.4 percent of assets, which was comparable to the
Peer Group ratio of 97.6 percent.
Union Federal's funding liabilities reflected a funding
strategy similar to that of the Peer Group's funding composition.
The Association's deposits equaled 73.6 percent of assets, which
was comparable to the Peer Group average of 71.2 percent.
Borrowings maintained by Union Federal and the Peer Group
amounted to 8.4 percent and 9.3 percent of assets, respectively.
Accordingly, both Union Federal and the Peer Group were
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.12
considered to have ample borrowing capacities. Total interest-
bearing liabilities maintained by the Association and the Peer
Group, as a percent of assets, equaled 82.0 percent and 80.5
percent, respectively, with the Peer Group's lower ratio being
supported by maintenance of a higher capital position.
A key measure of balance sheet strength for a thrift
institution is its IEA/IBL ratio. Presently, the Peer Group's
IEA/IBL ratio is slightly higher than the Association's ratio,
based on respective ratios of 121.2 percent and 118.8 percent.
The additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve
to provide Union Federal with a higher IEA/IBL ratio than
currently maintained by the Peer Group, as the interest free
capital realized in Union Federal's stock offering will be
deployed into interest-earning assets.
The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows annual growth
rates for key balance sheet items. Union Federal's growth rates
are based on annualized growth for the six months ended June 30,
1997, while the Peer Group's growth rates are based on annual
growth for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997. Asset growth
rates of positive 3.7 percent and positive 11.3 percent were
posted by the Association and the Peer Group, respectively.
Union Federal's relatively limited asset growth resulted
primarily from growth in liquidity and loans. The high growth
rate reflected for cash and investments was the result of the
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.13
relatively low balance of cash and investments maintained by the
Association, as Union Federal's cash and investments balance
increased by $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30,
1997. Growth in loans and mortgage-backed securities accounted
for the Peer Group's asset growth, as a negative cash and
investments growth rate was posted by the Peer Group. Overall,
the Peer Group's asset growth measures would tend to support
greater earnings growth relative to the Association's measures.
Deposit growth and retained earnings funded the
Association's asset growth, as well as a slight decline in Union
Federal's balance of borrowings. The Peer Group's asset growth
was funded by deposits and borrowings, with the Peer Group's
lower balance of borrowings exhibiting a significantly higher
growth rate. In fact, the Peer Group's borrowings growth rate
was understated by the Peer Group companies with borrowings
growth rates in excess of 100 percent, which accounted for seven
of the nine "NM" borrowing growth rates shown for the Peer Group
companies in Table 3.2. The other two Peer Group companies with
"NMs" indicated as borrowings growth rates recorded no change in
their balance of balance of borrowings for the twelve month
period.
Capital growth rates posted by the Association and the Peer
Group equaled positive 8.1 percent and negative 7.3 percent,
respectively. Union Federal's capital growth was realized
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.14
through the retention of earnings. Comparatively, dividend
payments and stock repurchases, as well as possible negative SFAS
115 adjustments, were likely factors that more than offset the
Peer Group's earnings and accounted for the Peer Group's negative
capital growth rate. The Peer Group's capital growth rate was
understated by two companies which recorded more than a 100
percent increase in capital, as the result of conversion proceeds
being added to capital during the twelve month period. FFD
Financial and Westwood Homestead completed their conversions in
April 1996 and September 1996, respectively. Following the
increase in capital realized from conversion proceeds, the
Association's capital growth rate will be depressed by its higher
pro forma capital position, as well as by possible dividend
payment and stock repurchases.
Income and Expense Components
Union Federal and the Peer Group reported net income to
average assets ratios of 1.13 percent and 0.90 percent,
respectively (see Table 3.3), based on earnings for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997. Both the Association's and the Peer
Group's earnings were depressed by the one time assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF. With the exception of the SAIF
assessment, the Association's and the Peer Group's earnings were
fairly representative of their core earnings, as other non-
recurring items were not significant factors in their respective
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.15
earnings. The Association's higher earnings were realized
primarily through maintenance of a lower level of operating
expenses and a lower effective tax rate, which was partially
negated by the Peer Group's higher level of non-interest
operating income.

The Association and the Peer Group posted similar net
interest income to average assets ratios, as Union Federal's
higher interest income ratio was more than offset by the Peer
Group's lower interest expense ratio. As indicated in the yield-
cost section of Table 3.3, the Association's higher interest
income ratio was realized through earning a higher yield on
interest-earning assets, reflecting the higher yielding
composition of Union Federal's interest-earning assets (higher
concentration of loans and lower concentration of cash and
investments). Likewise, the Peer Group's lower interest expense
ratio was realized through maintaining a lower cost of funds
(4.99 percent versus 5.45 percent for the Association), in light
of Union Federal's relatively high deposit costs. The Peer
Group's lower interest expense ratio was also supported by its
lower level of interest-bearing liabilities (80.5 percent of
assets versus 82.0 percent for the Association), which will
become a comparative advantage for the Association following the
increase in capital to be realized from the infusion of
conversion proceeds. Overall, Union Federal and the Peer Group
reported net interest income to average assets ratios of 3.52
percent and 3.56 percent, respectively.
In another key area of core earnings strength, the
Association maintained a lower level of operating expenses than
the Peer Group. For the period covered in Table 3.3, the
Association and the Peer Group recorded operating expense to
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.18
average assets ratios of 1.17 percent and 1.87 percent,
respectively. It should be noted that the one time SAIF
assessment expense has been reflected as a non-operating item for
the Association and the Peer Group companies. Accordingly, the
operating expense ratios posted by the Association and the Peer
Group were considered to be representative of their recurring
operating expenses. Union Federal's lower operating expense
ratio is supported by maintaining only a one office operation,
which, in turn, contributes to the Association's ability to
employ a relatively low number of employees for its asset size
and the size of its deposit base. Assets per full time
equivalent employee equaled $7.0 million for the Association,
versus a comparative measure of $4.8 million for the Peer Group.
On a post-conversion basis, the Association's operating expenses
can be expected to increase with the addition of public company
reporting expenses and stock benefit plans, with such expenses
already impacting the Peer Group's operating expenses.
When viewed together, net interest income and operating
expenses provide considerable insight into a thrift's earnings
strength, since those sources of income and expenses are
typically the most prominent components of earnings and are
generally more predictable than losses and gains realized from
the sale of assets or other non-recurring activities. In this
regard, as measured by their expense coverage ratios (net
interest income divided by operating expenses), Union Federal's
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.19
earnings strength was more favorable than the Peer Group's.
Expense coverage ratios posted by Union Federal and the Peer
Group equaled 3.01x and 1.90x, respectively. An expense coverage
ratio of greater than 1.0x indicates that an institution is able
to sustain pre-tax profitability without having to rely on non-
interest sources of income.
Sources of non-interest operating income, exclusive of real
estate operations, made minor contributions to Union Federal's
and the Peer Group's earnings, with such income amounting to 0.07
percent and 0.19 percent of Union Federal's and the Peer Group's
average assets, respectively. The modest amount of the
Association's and the Peer Group's earnings realized from non-
interest operating income is consistent with their traditional
thrift operating strategies, which typically provides for limited
diversification into services that generate non-interest
operating income. Further constraining non-interest operating
income for the Association is a deposit base which contains a
relatively low balance of checking accounts, as Union Federal has
been offering checking accounts for a relatively short period of
time (approximately 3 years). The Association recorded negative
non-interest operating income when factoring in real estate
operations, reflecting the equity loss realized from the Pedcor
investment. However, the equity loss of the Pedcor investment is
substantially offset by tax credits provided by the Pedcor
investment, which accounts for the Association's lower effective
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.20
tax rate. Comparatively, real estate operations had only a very
modest impact on the Peer Group's earnings. Taking non-interest
operating income into account in comparing the Association's and
the Peer Group's earnings, Union Federal's efficiency ratio
(operating expenses as a percent of non-interest operating income
and net interest income) of 35.1 percent compared favorably to
the Peer Group's efficiency ratio of 50.0 percent.
Loss provisions established by the Association were higher
than Peer Group average (0.17 percent of average assets versus
0.03 percent for the Peer Group), as Union Federal established
additional loss provisions to address the $72,000 charge-off
recorded to loss reserves during the six months ended June 30,
1997 and recent growth in higher risk types of loans. Going
forward, the Association's annual loan loss provisions are
expected to decline but may still exceed the level of loss
provisions established by the Peer Group. Net gains were
negative for both the Association and the Peer Group, with such
losses amounting to 0.45 percent and 0.48 percent of average
assets for Union Federal and the Peer Group, respectively. The
net loss recorded by the Association was solely attributable to
the SAIF assessment. In general, the comparability of Union
Federal's and the Peer Group's net losses were consistent with
their similar ratios of deposits-to-assets and would tend to
indicate that, except for the SAIF assessment expense, gains and
losses resulting from the sale of loans and investments were not
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.21
a significant factor in the Peer Group's earnings as well. Given
the non-recurring nature of the special SAIF assessment, the
Association's and the Peer Group's net losses from non-operating
items will be discounted in evaluating the relative strengths and
weaknesses of their respective earnings. Extraordinary items
were not a factor in either the Association's or the Peer Group's
earnings.
As the result of tax credits realized from the Pedcor
limited partnership, Union Federal's effective tax rate was well
below the average effective tax rate for the Peer Group (27.11
percent versus 37.22 percent for the Peer Group). Tax credits
from the Pedcor limited partnership are expected to be available
to Union Federal through 2003. To the extent the Association's
pre-tax earnings increase, Union Federal's effective tax rate
will increase, in light of the fixed amount of tax credits that
can be realized from the Pedcor limited partnership investment.
Overall, net of the one time SAIF assessment expense, the
Association's and the Peer Group's reported earnings were
considered to be fairly representative of their core earnings.
Loan Composition
Table 3.4 presents data related to the loan composition of
Union Federal and the Peer Group. An emphasis on low risk
residential lending was apparent in both the Association's and
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.22
the Peer Group's loan compositions, with 1-4 family permanent
mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities accounting for
78.6 percent and 82.6 percent of Union Federal's and the Peer
Group's loan and MBS portfolios, respectively. The Peer Group's
higher ratio was the result of maintaining slightly higher
concentrations of both 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed securities. Given the Association's philosophy
of retaining all originations for portfolio, loans serviced for
others necessarily represented a more significant off-balance
sheet item for the Peer Group; however, the Peer Group's average
balance of loans serviced for others ($4.1 million) also
indicated that most of the Peer Group companies were originating
loans primarily for portfolio. Only one of the Peer Group
companies maintained a modest amount of servicing intangibles.
As indicated by the higher percentage of 1-4 family loans
maintained by the Peer Group, Union Federal exhibited a greater
degree of lending diversification into higher risk types of
loans. Multi-family/commercial real estate loans accounted for
both Union Federal's and the Peer Group's primary area of lending
diversification, amounting to 17.7 percent and 10.6 percent of
their respective loan and MBS portfolios. Other areas of lending
diversification for the Association were fairly limited,
consisting primarily of construction loans. The balance of the
Peer Group's lending diversification was comprised mostly of
commercial business and construction loans, while consumer loans
<PAGE>

Page 3.23
constituted a relatively modest area of lending diversification
for the Peer Group. Consumer loans represented a nominal area of
lending diversification for the Association. Notwithstanding the
Association's greater diversification into higher risk types of
lending, the Peer Group maintained a slightly higher risk
weighted assets-to-assets ratio than Union Federal (51.8 percent
versus 50.3 percent for Union Federal). Overall, both the
Association's and the Peer Group's risk weighted assets ratios
were indicative of relatively low risk operating strategies, as
both ratios did not vary significantly from the SAIF-insured
average of 51.9 percent.

Interest Rate Risk
Table 3.5 reflects various key ratios highlighting the
relative interest rate risk exposure of the Association versus
the Peer Group companies. In terms of balance sheet composition,
Union Federal's interest rate risk characteristics were
considered to be similar to the Peer Group's, as indicated by the
comparability of their equity-to-assets ratios and IEA/IBL
ratios. Likewise, the Association and the Peer Group maintained
comparable levels of non-interest earning assets, indicating
similar earnings capacities that can be realized from the yield
earned on interest-earning assets. On a pro forma basis, the
infusion of stock proceeds should serve to provide the
Association with a comparative advantage over the Peer Group's
balance sheet characteristics, particularly in terms of
increasing Union Federal's equity-to-assets ratio and IEA/IBL
ratio.
To analyze interest rate risk associated with the net
interest margin, we reviewed quarterly changes in net interest
income as a percent of average assets for Union Federal and the
Peer Group. In general, the relative fluctuations in both the
Association's and the Peer Group's net interest income to average
assets ratios were considered to be fairly limited and, thus,
neither Union Federal or the Peer Group were viewed as having
significant interest rate risk exposure in their respective net
interest margins. The stability of the Association's net
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 3.26
interest margin should be enhanced by the infusion of stock
proceeds, as interest-rate sensitive liabilities will be funding
a lower portion of Union Federal's assets.
Credit Risk
Overall, Union Federal's credit risk exposure did not appear
to be materially different than the Peer Group's, with both the
Association's and the Peer Group's credit quality measures being
representative of limited credit risk exposure. As shown in
Table 3.6, Union Federal's ratio of non-performing assets (REO,
non-accruing loans and accruing loans more than 90 days past due)
to assets was lower than Peer Group's ratio (0.24 percent versus
0.41 percent for the Peer Group). Similarly, Union Federal's
non-performing loans to loans ratio was slightly lower than the
Peer Group's ratio (0.27 percent versus 0.50 percent for the Peer
Group). Comparatively, loss reserve ratios were stronger for the
Peer Group, as the Peer Group maintained a higher level of loss
reserves as a percent of non-performing assets (195.4 percent
versus 97.5 percent for the Association) and as percent of loans
(0.50 percent versus 0.27 percent for the Association). Net loan
charge-offs were a slightly larger factor in the Association's
earnings, reflecting the $72,000 charge-off of a multi-family
loan during the period.

Summary
Based on the above analysis and the criteria employed by RP
Financial in the selection of the companies for the Peer Group,
RP Financial concluded that the Peer Group forms a reasonable
basis for determining the pro forma market value of Union
Federal. Such general characteristics as asset size, capital
position, interest-earning asset composition, funding
composition, core earnings measures, loan composition, credit
quality and exposure to interest rate risk all tend to support
the reasonability of the Peer Group from a financial standpoint.

IV. VALUATION ANALYSIS
Introduction
This chapter presents the valuation analysis, prepared
pursuant to the approved valuation methodology promulgated by the
OTS, and valuation factors used to determine the estimated pro
forma market value of the common stock of the Holding Company.
The common stock will be issued in conjunction with the
conversion of Union Federal from the mutual-to-stock form of
ownership. The valuation has been prepared utilizing the pro
forma valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS, most recently
set forth in their 1994 valuation guidelines.
Appraisal Guidelines
The OTS appraisal guidelines, originally released in October
1983, specify the methodology for estimating the pro forma market
value of an institution. The methodology provides for:
(1) selection of a peer group of comparable publicly-traded
institutions, subsequent guidance from the OTS limited
eligibility to only seasoned public companies in the peer group;
(2) a financial and operational comparison of the subject company
to the peer group; and (3) a valuation analysis in which the pro
forma market value of the subject company is determined based on
the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation,
incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences. In
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.2
addition, the pricing characteristics of recent conversions, both
at conversion and in the aftermarket, must be considered.
RP Financial Approach to the Valuation
RP Financial's valuation analysis complies with the
appraisal guidelines as revised and issued as of October 21,
1994. Accordingly, the valuation incorporates a detailed
analysis based on the Peer Group discussed in Chapter III,
incorporating "fundamental analysis" techniques. Additionally,
the valuation incorporates a "technical analysis" of recently
completed stock conversions, including closing pricing and
aftermarket trading of such conversions. It should be noted that
such analysis cannot possibly fully account for all the market
forces which impact trading activity and pricing characteristics
of a stock on a given day.
The pro forma market value determined herein is a
preliminary value for the Holding Company's to-be-issued stock.
Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial will: (1) review
changes in the Association's operations and financial condition;
(2) monitor the Association's operations and financial condition
relative to the Peer Group to identify any fundamental changes;
(3) monitor the external factors affecting value including, but
not limited to, local and national economic conditions, interest
rates, and the stock market environment, including the market for
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.3
thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending conversion offerings
(including those in the offering phase) both regionally and
nationally. If material changes should occur during the
conversion process, RP Financial will prepare updated valuation
reports reflecting such changes and their related impact on
value, if any, over the course of the conversion process. RP
Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the
closing of the conversion offering to determine if the
preliminary range of value continues to be appropriate.
The appraised value determined herein is based on the
current market and operating environment for the Association and
for all thrifts. Subsequent changes in the local and national
economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock
market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as
natural disasters or major world events), which may occur from
time to time (often with great unpredictability) may materially
impact the market value of all thrift stocks, including Union
Federal, or Union Federal's value alone. To the extent a change
in factors impacting the Association's value can be reasonably
anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the
estimated impact into the valuation analysis.
Valuation Analysis
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.4
A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and
differences relative to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter
III. The following sections focus on differences between the
Association and the Peer Group and how those differences affect
our pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific
strengths and weaknesses of the Association relative to the Peer
Group in such key areas as financial condition, profitability,
growth and viability of earnings, asset growth, primary market
area, dividends, liquidity of the issue, marketing of the issue,
management, and the effect of government regulations and/or
regulatory reform. We have also considered the market for thrift
stocks, and in particular new issues, to assess the impact on
value of Union Federal coming to market at this time.
1. Financial Condition
The financial condition of an institution is an important
determinant in pro forma market value, because investors
typically look to such factors as liquidity, capital, asset
composition and quality, and funding sources in assessing
investment attractiveness. The similarities and differences in
the Association's and the Peer Group's financial strengths are
noted as follows:
o Overall A/L Composition. Residential assets, including 1-4
family permanent mortgage loans and MBS, funded by retail
deposits were the primary components of both Union Federal's
and the Peer Group's balance sheets. Union Federal's
interest-earning asset composition exhibited a higher
concentration of loans and greater
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.5
diversification into higher risk types of loans. Maintenance
of a higher concentration of loans translated into a more
favorable yield on interest-earning assets for the
Association, which was more than offset by the Peer Group's
lower cost of funds. Credit quality measures indicated
limited credit risk exposure for both the Association and
the Peer Group. Likewise, Union Federal and the Peer Group
exhibited fairly comparable interest rate risk exposure
measures. There were no material differences in Union
Federal's' and the Peer Group's funding compositions, with
retail deposits meeting the major portion of their
respective funding needs. Borrowings were utilized to a
limited degree by both Union Federal and the Peer Group. For
valuation purposes, RP Financial concluded no adjustment was
warranted for the Association's overall asset/liability
composition.
o Credit Quality. Both the Association's and the Peer Group's
credit quality measures were indicative of limited credit
risk exposure. Union Federal maintained a slightly lower
non-performing assets-to-assets ratio than the Peer Group,
while the Peer Group maintained higher reserves than Union
Federal as a percent of non- performing assets and total
loans outstanding. The low risk operating strategies
maintained by the Association and the Peer Group were
further indicated by risk weighted assets-to-assets ratios
that were similar to the comparable ratio for all
publicly-traded SAIF- insured thrifts, with Union Federal
maintaining a slightly lower risk weighted assets-to-assets
ratio than the Peer Group. Overall, we concluded that no
adjustment was warranted for the Association's credit
quality.
o Balance Sheet Liquidity. The Association operated with a
lower balance of cash and investment securities than the
Peer Group (7.7 percent of assets versus 16.2 percent for
the Peer Group). However, following the infusion of stock
proceeds, the Association's cash and investments ratio will
be more comparable to the Peer Group average as the proceeds
will likely be initially deployed into short-term
investments. Union Federal and the Peer Group were
considered to have ample borrowing capacities, as borrowings
represented a relatively minor portion of the Association's
and the Peer Group's interest-bearing funding compositions.
Overall, balance sheet liquidity for the Association and the
Peer Group were not viewed as being materially different
and, thus, RP Financial concluded that no
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.6
adjustment was warranted for the Association's balance
sheet liquidity.
o Funding Liabilities. Retail deposits served as the
primary interest-bearing source of funds for the
Association and the Peer Group, with borrowings being
utilized to a comparable degree by Union Federal and
the Peer Group. Notwithstanding the Association's and
the Peer Group's comparable interest-bearing funding
compositions, Union Federal's overall cost of funds was
somewhat higher than Peer Group's. Union Federal's
higher cost of funds can be attributed to maintenance
of a relatively low level of savings and transaction
accounts, and payment of relatively high CD rates to
sustain deposit growth. For purposes of the valuation,
RP Financial concluded that in light of Union Federal's
higher funding costs, Union Federal's funding
composition warranted a slight downward adjustment.
o Capital. The Association operates with a slightly
lower pre-conversion capital ratio than the Peer Group,
17.2 percent and 18.3 percent of assets, respectively.
Accordingly, following the mutual-to-stock conversion,
Union Federal's pro forma capital position will be well
above the Peer Group's equity-to-assets ratio. The
Association's higher pro forma capital position will
result in greater leverage potential and reduce the
level of interest-bearing liabilities utilized to fund
assets. At the same time, the Association's more
significant capital surplus will likely result in a
depressed ROE for an extended period of time. Overall,
RP Financial concluded that a slightly upward
adjustment is warranted for the Association's capital
position.
On balance, the characteristics of the Association's and the
Peer Group's financial conditions were not materially different
in most respects for valuation purposes. Union Federal's higher
costing funding composition represented a negative valuation
consideration, while its higher pro forma capital position was
viewed as being a slightly positive valuation consideration.
Overall, we concluded that no valuation adjustment was warranted
for the Association's financial strength.

2. Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings
Earnings are an important factor in determining pro forma
market value, as the level and risk characteristics of an
institution's earnings stream and the prospects and ability to
generate future earnings are typically heavily factored into an
investment decision. The historical income statements of Union
Federal and the Peer Group were generally reflective of
traditional thrift operating strategies, with net interest income
and operating expenses being the major determinants of their
respective earnings. The specific factors considered in the
valuation include:
o Reported Earnings. The Association recorded higher
earnings on a ROAA basis than the Peer Group (1.13
percent versus 0.90 percent for the Peer Group). Both
the Association's and the Peer Group's reported
earnings were depressed by the one time assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF, which had a comparable impact on
their respective earnings. Absent the SAIF assessment
expense, Union Federal's and the Peer Group's reported
earnings were fairly representative of their core
earnings. Core earnings posted by the Association and
the Peer Group were indicative of a traditional thrift
operating strategy, in which net interest income and
operating expenses were the two dominant components of
earnings, and non-interest operating income was a
limited contributor to earnings. The Association's
higher ROAA was realized through maintenance of a lower
operating expense ratio and a lower effective tax rate,
which was partially offset by the Peer Group's higher
level of non-interest operating income and lower loss
provisions. On a pro forma basis, the Association's
ROAA should increase, while its ROE will decline and
fall below the Peer Group's ROE Overall, no adjustment
was warranted for this factor.
o Core Earnings. Net of the SAIF assessment, both the
Association's and the Peer Group's earnings were
derived largely from recurring sources, including net
interest income, operating expenses, and non-interest
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.8
operating income. In these measures, the Association
operated with a comparable net interest margin, a lower
operating expense ratio and a lower level of
non-interest operating income. The Association's
comparable net interest margin and lower level of
operating expenses translated into a higher expense
coverage ratio (3.01x versus 1.90x for the Peer Group).
The Association's lower operating expense ratio also
supported a more favorable efficiency ratio (35.1
percent versus 50.0 percent for the Association),
despite the negative non-interest operating income
recorded by the Association. Union Federal's negative
non-interest operating income was attributable to a
loss recorded in its limited partnership investment,
which is essentially offset by tax credits. The tax
credits account for the lower effective tax rate
maintained by the Association, and, thus, there is a
diminishing impact of the tax credits on the effective
tax rate as Union Federal's earnings increase. Loss
provisions had a larger impact on the Association's
earnings, as Union Federal increased the amount of loss
provisions established to address the charge-off of a
multi-family loan and recent growth in higher risk
types of loans. The Association's core earnings will
realize the benefit of redeploying the conversion
proceeds into interest-earning assets, which will
somewhat be negated by expenses associated with stock
benefit plans and operating as a publicly-traded
company. Accordingly, we concluded that Association's
core earnings were slightly more favorable than the
Peer Group's and, thus, a upward valuation adjustment
was warranted for the Association's core earnings.
o Interest Rate Risk. Exposure to interest rate risk is
considered to be somewhat limited for both the
Association and the Peer Group, in light of their
strong capital positions and resulting favorable
IEA/IBL ratios. Following the infusion of stock
proceeds, the Association will maintain more favorable
equity-to-assets and IEA/IBL ratios than the Peer
Group. Likewise, the stability of Union Federal's net
interest margin should be enhanced by the reinvestment
of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets.
Accordingly, RP Financial concluded that the interest
rate risk associated with the Association's earnings
was less than the Peer Group's, and a slight upward
adjustment was warranted for valuation purposes.
o Credit Risk. Loan loss provisions were a larger factor
in Union Federal's earnings due, in part, to address
the relatively low level of loss reserves maintained as
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.9
a percent of problem assets and total loans. In terms of
future exposure to credit quality related losses, both the
Association's and the Peer Group's operating strategies and
credit quality measures indicated relatively limited credit
risk exposure. Union Federal's non-performing assets/assets
ratio was less than the Peer Group's ratio, while the Peer
Group's loss reserve coverage ratios were stronger than
Union Federal's. Lending diversification into higher risk
types of loans was more notable for the Association, which
along with the higher concentration of loans maintained by
Union Federal indicated a potentially greater degree of
credit risk exposure for the Association. However, both the
Association's and the Peer Group's risk weighted
assets-to-assets ratios were similar to the average for all
publicly-traded SAIF- insured thrifts and, thus, indicated
low credit risk operating strategies. Overall, RP Financial
concluded that the credit risk exposure associated with the
Association's earnings was similar to the Peer Group's and
no adjustment was warranted for valuation purposes.
o Earnings Growth Potential. Several factors were
considered in assessing earnings growth potential.
First, the Peer Group's historical growth has been
stronger than the Association's, even though Union
Federal currently maintains similar leverage capacity
as the Peer Group. Second, the infusion of stock
proceeds will increase the Association's earnings
growth potential with respect to leverage capacity and
provide the Association with comparable liquidity as
the Peer Group to fund loan growth. Thirdly, for the
Association to realize stronger future growth, it will
likely require expansion of staff and/or office
facilities. Such expansion would likely negate Union
Federal's current earnings advantage of maintaining a
relatively low operating expense ratio, which is
largely supported by the small size of its staff and
one office operation. Lastly, as shown in Exhibit III-
4, opportunities for lending growth in the market area
where the Association maintains its largest presence
(Montgomery County) is considered to be less favorable
than in the primary market areas served by the Peer
Group companies in terms of size of population served,
although more favorable in terms of rate of population
growth and level of per capita income. On balance, the
Association's earnings growth potential was considered
to be less favorable than the Peer Group's, based on
Union Federal's lower growth historically and the
unproven ability to realize stronger future growth
without altering its low cost operating structure.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.10
Accordingly, RP Financial concluded a moderate downward
adjustment was warranted for this factor.
o Return on Equity. The Association's return on equity
will be below the Peer Group and industry averages,
owing to Union Federal's significant pro forma
capitalization that will provide an equity-to-assets
ratio in excess of 30.0 percent. In view of the
limited capital growth rate that will be imposed by
Union Federal' extremely high equity position, it is
expected that the market will consider the
Association's stock to be less attractive until the
Association can demonstrate its ability to profitably
leverage its equity in a prudent manner. Therefore, RP
Financial concluded that a moderate downward adjustment
was warranted for the Association's ROE.
Overall, Union Federal's core earnings and interest rate
risk exposure represented slightly positive valuation
considerations, which were more than offset by Union Federal's
less favorable earnings growth potential and lower pro forma
return on equity. Accordingly, RP Financial concluded that a
slight downward valuation adjustment was warranted for
profitability, growth and viability of the Association's
earnings.
3. Asset Growth
Union Federal exhibited a significantly lower asset growth
rate than the Peer Group, during the period covered in our
comparative analysis (positive 3.6 percent versus positive 11.3
percent for the Peer Group). While the Association's pro forma
capital position will provide for greater capacity to leverage
relative to the Peer Group's equity-to-assets ratio, it is not
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.11
viewed as a material advantage for the Association. The
Association's greater leverage capacity is viewed to be negated
by the more limited growth recorded by Union Federal
historically, despite maintaining a comparable level of capital
as the Peer Group, and the Association's relatively limited
resources to support stronger future growth. On balance, we
believe a moderate downward adjustment is warranted for this
factor.
4. Primary Market Area
The general condition of a financial institution's market
area has an impact on value, as future success is in part
dependent upon opportunities for profitable activities in the
local market area. A diversified and stable economy has
supported relatively favorable demographic measures for the
Association's primary market area, as indicated by healthy
population and household growth rates. The market area is also
considered to be relatively prosperous, based on household and
per capita income measures that were above the comparative
Indiana measures. Overall, a stable local economy, favorable
demographic growth and moderate unemployment are viewed as being
positive market area characteristics with respect to limiting
credit risk exposure and supporting growth opportunities. At the
same time, the population based served by the Association is
relatively small and, thus, the population growth in absolute
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.12
numbers is not viewed as representing a major source of potential
growth for the Association.
In general, the Peer Group companies operate in larger and
more populous markets than served by the Association. Population
growth rates in the markets served by the Peer Group companies
were on average less favorable than the primary market area
served by the Association. On average, the Association
maintained a larger deposit market share than the Peer Group
companies, indicating a competitive advantage for the Association
in terms of the degree of competition faced for deposits.
Summary demographic and deposit market share data for the
Association and the Peer Group companies is provided in Exhibit
III-4. As shown in Table 4.1, June 1997 unemployment rates in
the markets served by the Peer Group companies were not
dramatically different from the comparative measure for the
Association's primary market area. Overall, the larger
population bases served by the Peer Group companies is viewed as
being somewhat negated by the more favorable growth and less
competitive characteristics of the Association's primary market
area. Therefore, we concluded no adjustment was appropriate for
the Association's market area.

5. Dividends
As set forth in the prospectus, the Holding Company intends
to establish an annual dividend of $0.30 per share, which would
provide for a 3.0 percent yield based on the $10.00 per share
initial offering price of the Holding Company's stock. However,
future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors will
depend upon a number of factors, including investment
opportunities available to the Holding Company or the
Association, capital requirements, regulatory limitations, the
Holding Company's and the Association's financial condition and
results of operations, tax considerations and general economic
conditions.
Historically, thrifts typically have not established
dividend policies at the time of their conversion to stock
ownership. Newly converted institutions, in general, have
preferred to gain market seasoning, establish an earnings track
record and fully invest the conversion proceeds before
establishing a dividend policy. However, during the late-1980s
and early-1990s, with negative publicity surrounding the thrift
industry, there was a tendency for more thrifts to initiate
moderate dividend policies concurrent with their conversion as a
means of increasing the attractiveness of the stock offering.
Today, fewer institutions are compelled to initially establish
dividend policies at the time of their conversion offering to
increase the attractiveness of the stock issue as (1) industry
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.15
profitability has improved, (2) the number of problem thrift
institutions has declined, and (3) the stock market cycle for
thrift stocks is generally more favorable than in the early-
1990s. At the same time, with ROE ratios under pressure, due to
high equity levels, well-capitalized institutions are subject to
increased competitive pressures to offer dividends.
As publicly-traded thrifts' capital levels and profitability
have improved and as weakened institutions have been resolved,
the proportion of institutions with cash dividend policies has
increased. All eleven of the institutions in the Peer Group
presently pay regular cash dividends, with implied dividend
yields ranging from 0.94 percent to 3.83 percent. The average
dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions was
2.21 percent as of August 22, 1997, representing an average
earnings payout ratio of 39.39 percent of core earnings. As of
August 22, 1997, approximately 84 percent of all publicly-traded
SAIF-insured thrifts had adopted cash dividend policies (see
Exhibit IV-1), exhibiting an average yield of 2.02 percent and an
average payout ratio of 40.78 percent of core earnings. The
dividend paying thrifts generally maintain higher than average
profitability ratios, facilitating their ability to pay cash
dividends.
The Holding Company's dividend yield is slightly higher than
Peer Group average; however, based on the Peer Group's earnings
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.16
and capital position, the Peer Group has a similar capacity as
the Association to pay a 3.0 percent dividend yield.
Accordingly, no adjustment has been applied to the Association's
value for this factor.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.17
6. Liquidity of the Shares
The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that
are traded in the public markets, all of which trade on the
NASDAQ. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market
capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there
will be in a particular stock. The market capitalization of the
Peer Group companies ranged from $14.5 million to $79.8 million
as of August 22, 1997, with an average market value of $41.6
million. The shares outstanding of the Peer Group members ranged
from 964,000 to 5.3 million, with average shares outstanding of
approximately 2.2 million. The Association's conversion offering
will result in a market value and shares outstanding that are
less than and similar to the comparative Peer Group averages.
While the Association's pro forma market value is less than the
Peer Group average, it is within the range of market values
exhibited by the Peer Group companies. Furthermore, it is
anticipated that the Holding Company's stock will also be quoted
on the NASDAQ National Market System. Accordingly, in comparison
to the Peer Group companies, we do not anticipate that the
liquidity characteristics of the Holding Company's stock will be
materially different from most of the Peer Group companies'
stocks. Therefore, no adjustment was required for this factor.
7. Marketing of the Issue
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.18
We believe that three separate markets exists for thrift
stocks coming to market such as Union Federal: (1) the after-
market for public companies, in which trading activity is regular
and investment decisions are made based upon financial condition,
earnings, capital, ROE and dividends; (2) the new issue market in
which converting thrifts are evaluated on a pro forma basis
without the benefit of prior operations as a publicly-held
company and stock trading history; and (3) the acquisition market
for thrift franchises in Indiana. All three of these markets
were considered in the valuation of the Association's to-be-
issued stock.
A. The Public Market
The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily
measurable, and is tracked by most investment houses and related
organizations. In general, thrift stock values react to market
stimuli such as interest rates, inflation, perceived industry
health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues and
stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays
historical stock market trends for various indices and includes
historical stock price index values for thrifts and commercial
banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays historical stock price indices for
thrifts only.
In terms of assessing general stock market conditions,
the stock market has generally trended higher over the past year.
<PAGE>

Page 4.19
Stocks and bonds rallied in late-July and early-August 1996, as
economic data indicated a healthy but moderating economy.
However, higher interest rates pushed stocks lower in late-
August, reflecting increasing expectations that the Federal
Reserve would tighten interest rates in September. The decline
in the stock market was reversed in early-September, as investors
reacted positively to the inflation data contained in the August
employment report. Oil stocks sustained the upward trend in the
stock market in early-September, as renewed tension between the
U.S. and Iraq pushed crude oil prices to their highest level in
five years. Both bond and stock prices surged higher in mid-
September, as most of the economic data for August indicated that
the economy was slowing down and investors became more optimistic
that the Federal Reserve would not raise interest rates in
September.
The Federal Reserve's decision not to raise interest
rates at its September 1996 meeting, and generally healthy third
quarter earnings results sustained the upward momentum in the
stock market during the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Favorable inflation data and lower interest rates further spurred
the upward trend in the stock market prior to the election.
Investors were cheered by the "status quo" election results, as
stocks rallied strongly following the election with the DJIA
posting ten consecutive advances through mid-November. Economic
stability and a rising bond market sustained the stock market
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.20
rally through the end of November. For the entire month of
November, the DJIA increased 492.3 points, or 8.2 percent.
Following the rapid rise in the stock market during November,
stocks retreated during the first half of December. Profit
taking, concern about speculative excesses in the stock market
and higher interest rates all contributed to the decline in the
stock market.
The stock market resumed an upward trend during the end
of 1996 and the first three weeks of 1997, with the DJIA
establishing several new highs in the process. Factors
contributing to the rally in the stock market included the
Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates unchanged at its
December meeting, economic data which reflected moderate growth
and low inflation, and favorable fourth quarter earnings
particularly in the technology sector. However, a disappointing
fourth quarter earnings report by IBM ignited a sell-off in the
stock market in late-January. Higher interest rates extended the
downturn, as the 30-year bond approached 7.0 percent at the end
of January. A high degree of market volatility was evident
throughout most of February 1997, reflecting concern over
speculative excesses in the stock market; particularly, as the
DJIA closed above the 7000 mark in mid-February. Profit taking,
growing expectations of a correction and comments by the Federal
Reserve Chairman pulled the market lower in late-February.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.21
Following a downturn in late-February 1997, the market
recovered in early-March. Despite increasing expectations of an
interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average ("DJIA") closed to a new record high of
7085.16 on March 11, 1997. However, an upward revision to the
January retail sales figure triggered a one day sell-off in
stocks and bonds on March 13, 1997, as the stronger than expected
growth heightened expectations of an interest rate increase by
the Federal Reserve. Unease over higher interest rates,
profitability concerns in the technology sector and litigation
concerns for tobacco stocks pulled the stock market lower in mid-
March. As expected, the Federal Reserve increased the rate on
short-term funds by 0.25 percent at its late-March meeting.
Following the rate increase, the sell-off in the stock market
became more severe amid further signs of an accelerating economy.
Stocks bottomed-out on news of a stronger than expected rise in
core producer prices for March, with the DJIA closing at 6391.69
on April 11, 1997, or 9.8 percent below the all-time high
recorded a month ago.
Some favorable first quarter earnings reports and news
of a possible settlement by tobacco companies to resolve the
threat of liability lawsuits provided for a modest recovery in
the stock market in mid-April 1997. In late-April, the release
of economic data which indicated mild inflationary pressures
furthered the rally in bond and stock prices. News of a budget
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.22
agreement and a favorable ruling for tobacco companies sent the
stock market soaring to record highs in early-May. Mixed
economic data and the Federal Reserve's decision to leave its
target for the federal funds rate unchanged at its May meeting
sustained a positive trend in the stock market through the end of
May. Profit worries caused a sell-off in high technology stocks
in early-June, while declining interest rates served to stabilize
the broader market. Technology stocks rallied the stock market
to new highs in mid-July, as a number of technology companies
posted favorable second quarter earnings. Favorable inflation
data, including second quarter GDP growth slowing to an annual
rate of 2.2 percent versus 4.9 percent in the first quarter, and
comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman which indicated that an
increase in interest rates was not imminent, spurred bond and
stock prices strongly higher during the second half of July.
A decline in the July 1997 unemployment rate reversed
the positive bond and stock market trends in early-August, as
inflation concerns became more prominent. A declining dollar
against the yen and mark sharpened the decline in bond prices,
with the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond increasing from 6.32 percent
at the end of July to 6.66 percent as of August 8, 1997. The
sell-off pulled stock prices lower as well. While bond prices
firmed in mid-August, notable volatility was evident in the stock
market. The DJIA moved 100 points for five consecutive days from
August 18, 1997 through August 21, 1997, which set a record for
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.23
volatility. Profit worries among some of the large blue chip
companies and mixed inflation readings were factors contributing
to the roller-coaster performance of the stock market. On August
22, 1997, the DJIA closed at 7887.91, translating into an
increase of 37.8 percent from year a year ago.
Similar to the overall stock market, the market for
thrift stocks has generally been favorable during the past twelve
months. Lower interest rates and the announced acquisitions of
two large California thrifts, American Savings with $20 billion
in assets and CalFed Bancorp with $14 billion in assets, pushed
the SNL Index higher in late-July and through mid-August 1996.
Thrift stocks settled into a narrow trading range in late-August
and early-September, as higher interest rates dampened interest
in the thrift sector. For the balance of September, trading
activity in thrift stocks was somewhat mixed. Higher thrift
prices were recorded in mid-September, as the yield on the 30-
year U.S. Treasury bond briefly dropped below 7.0 percent.
However, the rally in financial services stocks faltered in late-
September, reflecting renewed fears about higher interest rates
and rising bad debt on credit cards.
Thrift prices generally moved higher during October
and November 1996. The upward trend in thrift prices was
supported by lower interest rates, with the slow down in economic
growth pushing the 30-year U.S. bond rate below 6.5 percent
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.24
during the second half of November. Investors also reacted
positively to the SAIF rescue legislation, in light of the
reduction in deposit insurance premiums to be paid by SAIF-
insured thrifts following the one time special assessment.
Similar to the overall stock market, thrift prices traded lower
in early-December. Profit taking and expectations of higher
interest rates were factors contributing to the pull back in
thrift issues.
Bullish sentiment for thrift stocks heightened at the
beginning of 1997, as investors reacted positively to the
favorable inflation data and generally strong fourth quarter
earnings. The rally in thrift issues was driven by the large
California institutions, reflecting expectations that there would
be further consolidation among the large California thrifts. The
acquisition speculation for the large California thrifts became a
reality in mid-February, as H.F. Ahmanson's unsolicited offer to
acquire Great Western Financial sent the SNL Index soaring in
mid-February. Stable interest rates and acquisition activity
supported higher thrift prices in early-March; however, like the
stock market in general, the peak in thrift prices was followed
by a sharp sell-off in mid-March. In fact, interest-rate
sensitive issues were among the sectors hardest hit by the
revised January retail sales report, as the 30-year bond
approached 7.0 percent. Interest-rate sensitive issues continued
to experience selling pressure in late-March and early-April, as
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.25
signs of a strengthening economy pushed interest rates higher.
The sell-off in thrift stocks culminated on April 11, 1997, as
interest rates increased sharply on news of the higher than
expected rise in core producer prices for March. Thrift prices
edged modestly higher in mid-April, reflecting generally
favorable first quarter earnings and a slight decline in interest
rates following the release of economic data which showed that
inflation was low. Favorable inflation data and the budget
agreement provided for a more substantial rally in thrift stocks
in late-April and early-May, as interest-rate sensitive issues
were bolstered by declining interest rates.
Thrift stocks continued to trend higher through June
and early-July 1997, based on the improved interest rate outlook
and an overall positive outlook for the economy. Generally
favorable second quarter earnings and the 30-year U.S. Treasury
bond yield declining below 6.50 percent served to further boost
thrift prices in mid-July, with the declining interest rate
environment serving to sustain the rally in thrift prices through
the end of July. Thrift prices generally declined during the
first half of August, due to higher interest rates and profit
taking. From July 31, 1997 to August 15, 1997, the SNL Index
declined by 3.7 percent. Thrift prices recovered modestly the
following week, as the Federal Reserve left short-term interest
rates unchanged at its August meeting. The SNL Index for all
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.26
publicly-traded thrifts closed at 663.4 on August 22, 1997, an
increase of 62.4 percent from one year ago.
B. The New Issue Market
In addition to thrift stock market conditions in
general, the new issue market for converting thrifts is also an
important consideration in determining the Association's pro
forma market value. Over the past year, the market for
converting thrift issues has generally been favorable. Following
somewhat of a soft market for thrift conversions during the
second quarter of 1996, interest returned to converting issues
during the second half of 1996. Fewer offerings, more attractive
pricing, lower interest rates, and the general positive trend in
thrift prices were among the most prominent factors contributing
to the renewed investor interest shown for converting thrift
issues. The favorable market environment for converting thrift
issues was sustained during the first and second quarters of
1997, with the most recently completed conversions experiencing
very strong market interest. Since late-June 1997, seven
standard conversion issues have been completed and began trading,
exhibiting an average price increase of 53.5 percent on the first
day of trading, partially reflecting general exuberant stock
market trends and overall investor enthusiasm for initial public
offerings (including non-financial services companies). As shown
in Table 4.2, the median one week change in price for standard
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.27
conversion offerings completed during the latest three month
period ending August 22, 1997 equaled positive 47.5 percent. The
median pro forma price/tangible book and price/earnings ratios of
the recent conversions, excluding second step conversions, was
71.4 percent and 17.3 times, generally reflecting closings at the
top of the super range.
In examining the current pricing characteristics of
institutions completing their conversions during the last three
months (see Table 4.3), we note there exists a considerable
difference in pricing ratios compared to the universe of all
publicly-traded thrifts. Specifically, the current average P/B
ratio of the conversions completed in the most recent three month
period of 118.20 percent reflects a discount of 14.0 percent from
the average P/B ratio of all publicly-traded SAIF-insured thrifts
(equal to 138.46 percent), and the core P/E ratio of the recent
conversions was at a notable premium to the all SAIF-insured
public average core P/E ratio of 18.56 times. Only one of the
recently converted companies was trading at a core P/E multiple
of less than 30 times. The pricing ratios of the better
capitalized but lower earning (based on return on equity

measures) recently converted thrifts suggest that the investment
community has determined to discount their stocks on a book basis
until the earnings improve through redeployment and leveraging of
the proceeds over the longer term.
In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing
of the issue, we considered trends in both the overall thrift
market and the new issue market. The overall market for thrift
stocks is considered to be healthy, as thrift stocks are
currently exhibiting pricing ratios that are approaching
historically high levels. Investor interest in the new issue
market has been favorable, as most of the recently completed
offerings have been oversubscribed and have recorded healthy
price increases in initial post-conversion trading activity.
C. The Acquisition Market
Also considered in the valuation was the potential
impact on Union Federal's stock price of recently completed and
pending acquisitions of other thrifts operating in Union
Federal's market area. As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there were nine
Indiana thrifts acquired in 1995, 1996 and year-to-date 1997, and
there are currently no acquisitions pending of Indiana thrifts.
In light of the Association's extremely high pro forma capital
position, which would tend to make Union Federal a less
attractive acquisition candidate, acquisition speculation is not
expected to have a material influence on the Association's
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.31
initial trading price. However, at the same time, the
acquisition market for Indiana thrifts, as well as for thrifts in
general, may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation
for the Association's stock. To the extent that acquisition
speculation may impact the Association's offering, we have
largely taken this into account in selecting Indiana and other
Midwest based companies, which operate in markets that have
experienced a comparable degree of acquisition activity as the
Association's market area and, thus, are subject to the same type
of acquisition speculation that may influence Union Federal's
trading price.
Taking these factors and trends into account, primarily
recent trends in the new issue market, market conditions overall,
and recent trends in the acquisition market, RP Financial
concluded that no adjustment was appropriate in the valuation
analysis for purposes of marketing of the issue.
8. Management
Union Federal's management team has experience and expertise
in all of the key areas of the Association's operations. Exhibit
IV-5 provides summary resumes of Union Federal's Board of
Directors and executive management. While the Association does
not have the resources to develop a great deal of management
depth, given its asset size and the impact it would have on
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.32
operating expenses, management and the Board have been effective
in implementing an operating strategy that can be well managed by
the Association's present management structure as indicated by
Union Federal's strong core earnings and healthy capital
position.
Similarly, the returns, capital positions, and other
operating measures of the Peer Group companies are indicative of
well-managed financial institutions, which have Boards and
management teams that have been effective in implementing
conservative and competitive operating strategies. Therefore, on
balance, we concluded no valuation adjustment relative to the
Peer Group was appropriate for this factor.
9. Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform
The Association and the Peer Group companies were similarly
impacted by the enacted SAIF rescue legislation, as they are all
SAIF-insured institutions subject to the same one time assessment
and their deposits will be assessed at the same rate going
forward. In summary, as a fully-converted SAIF-insured savings
and loan association, Union Federal will operate in substantially
the same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members -- all
of whom are adequately capitalized institutions and are operating
with no apparent restrictions. Exhibit IV-6 reflects the
Association's pro forma regulatory capital ratios. On balance,
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.33
RP Financial concluded that no adjustment to the Association's
value was warranted for this factor.
Summary of Adjustments
Overall, we believe the Association's pro forma market value
should be discounted relative to the Peer Group as follows:
Key Valuation Parameters: Valuation

Valuation Approaches
In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated
by the OTS and adopted by the FDIC, i.e., the pro forma market
value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in
valuing Union Federal's to-be-issued stock -- price/earnings
("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches
- -- all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of
the conversion proceeds. In computing the pro forma impact of
the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have
incorporated the valuation parameters disclosed in Union
Federal's prospectus for offering expenses, the effective tax
rate, and stock benefit plan assumptions (summarized in
Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8). A reinvestment rate of 6.71 percent was
utilized, equal to the arithmetic average of the Association's
average yield on interest-earnings assets and cost of deposits
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (the reinvestment rate
calculation specified by OTS conversion guidelines). The 6.71
percent reinvestment rate is believed to be representative of the
blended rate reflecting the Association's business plan as
converted and incorporating the impact of deposit withdrawals to
fund a portion of the stock issued in conversion. In our
estimate of value, we assessed the relationship of the pro forma
pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group and the recent
conversions.
RP Financial's valuation placed emphasis on the following:
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.35
o P/E Approach. The P/E approach is generally the best
indicator of long-term value for a stock. Given the
similarities between the Association's and the Peer
Group's earnings and overall financial condition, the
P/E approach was carefully considered in this
valuation. At the same time, since reported earnings
for both the Association and the Peer Group included
certain unusual items, we also made adjustments to
earnings to arrive at a core earnings estimate and the
resulting price/core earnings ratio.
o P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a
useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks,
with the greater determinant of long term value being
earnings. Recognizing that the pro forma P/B ratio
will result in a below market ratio, RP Financial
considered the P/B approach to be a reliable indicator
in the context of pro forma value and the P/B ratio
must also take into account the pricing ratios under
the P/E and P/A approaches.
o P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally a less reliable
indicator of market value, as investors do not place
significant weight on total assets as a determinant of
market value. Investors place greater weight on book
value and earnings. Furthermore, this approach as set
forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines does not
take into account the amount of stock purchases funded
by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma
P/A ratio. At the same time, the P/A ratio is an
indicator of franchise value, and, in the case of
highly capitalized institutions, the high P/A ratios
may limit the investment community's willingness to pay
market multiples for earnings or book value when ROE is
expected to be low.
The Association has adopted Statement of Position ("SOP")
93-6, which will cause earnings per share computations to be
based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP
shares. For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing
analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering,
including all ESOP shares, to capture the full dilutive impact,
particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive,
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.36
receive dividends and can be voted. However, we did consider the
impact of the adoption of SOP 93-6 in the valuation.
Based on the application of the three valuation approaches,
taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed
above, and placing the greatest weight on the P/E and P/B
approaches, RP Financial concluded that the pro forma market
value of the Association's conversion stock is $20,000,000 at the
midpoint at this time.
1. Price-to-Earnings ("P/E"). The application of the P/E
valuation method requires calculating the Association's pro forma
market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple times the pro
forma earnings base. Ideally, the pro forma earnings base is
composed principally of the Association's recurring earnings
base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-
operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of
the reinvestment of net conversion proceeds. Union Federal's
reported earnings equaled $913,000 for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1997. In deriving Union Federal's core earnings, the
only adjustment made to reported earnings was to account for the
one time expense of the special SAIF assessment. The special
SAIF assessment recorded by the Association amounted to $362,000.
On a tax effected basis, assuming an effective marginal tax rate
of 40.0 percent, the elimination of the SAIF assessment resulted
in a $217,000 increase to the Association's reported earnings.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.37
As shown below, after factoring in the adjustment, Union
Federal's core earnings were determined to equal $1.130 million
for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997. (Note: see Exhibit
IV-9 for the adjustments applied to the Peer Group's earnings in
the calculation of core earnings).
Amount
($000)
Net income $913
Adjustment for SAIF assessment(1) 217
Core earnings estimate $1,130
(1) Tax effected at 39.6 percent.
Based on Union Federal's trailing twelve month earnings, and
incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed
previously, the Association's pro forma core P/E multiple at the
$20,000,000 midpoint value equaled 11.98 times, resulting in a
discount of 29.8 percent from the Peer Group average of 17.06
times core earnings. The discounted earnings multiple is
consistent with the valuation adjustments outlined earlier.
Additionally, the P/E discount is significantly reduced in the
upper portion of the range.
2. Price-to-Book ("P/B"). The application of the P/B
valuation method requires calculating the Association's pro forma
market value by applying a valuation P/B ratio to Union Federal's
pro forma book value. Based on the $20.0 million midpoint
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.38
valuation, Union Federal's pro forma P/B ratio equaled 63.60
percent. In comparison to the average P/B ratio for the Peer
Group of 114.70 percent, Union Federal's valuation reflected a
44.6 percent discount relative to the Peer Group. RP Financial
considered the discount under the P/B approach to be reasonable,
in light of the previously referenced valuation adjustments.
Additionally, the discounted P/B ratio is also warranted by the
Association's low pro forma ROE (5.31 percent, based on core
earnings, versus 6.65 percent for the Peer Group).
As indicated at the beginning of this chapter, RP
Financial's analysis of recent conversion pricing characteristics
at conversion (excluding second step conversions) and in the
aftermarket has been limited to a "technical" analysis and, thus,
the pricing characteristics of recent conversions is not the
primary determinate of value herein. Particular focus was placed
on the P/B approach in this analysis since the P/E multiples do
not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of
the conversion funds (i.e., external funds vs. deposit
withdrawals). At the midpoint value of $20,000,000, Union
Federal's pro forma P/B ratio of 63.60 percent was discounted by
approximately 9.9 percent and 46.2 percent from the average of
the recently completed stock conversions of 70.6 percent at
closing (see Table 4.2) and 118.20 percent currently in the
after-market (see Table 4.3). The Association's pricing in the
upper portion of the range approximates the average closing P/B
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.39
ratio for the recent conversions. The comparability of the
Association's pro forma pricing to the aftermarket P/B ratios of
the recent conversion is viewed as being diminished somewhat by
the dynamics of pro forma pricing, in that the Association's pre-
conversion capital and the increase in capital resulting from the
valuation necessarily precludes a pro forma P/B ratio approaching
100 percent of book value.
3. Price-to-Assets ("P/A"). The P/A valuation methodology
determines market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to the
Association's pro forma asset base, conservatively assuming no
deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases. In all
likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in
understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein.
At the midpoint of the valuation range, Union Federal's value
equaled 19.75 percent of pro forma assets. Comparatively, the
Peer Group companies exhibited an average P/A ratio of 20.76
percent, which implies a 4.9 percent discount being applied to
the Association's pro forma P/A ratio. While generally
emphasized less than the P/E and P/B approaches, the P/A ratio is
an indicator of franchise value and, thus, was considered in the
valuation conclusion.
<PAGE>
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.40
Valuation Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of August
22, 1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the Association
was $20,000,000 at the midpoint, equal to 2,000,000 shares
offered at $10.00 per share. Pursuant to the conversion
guidelines, the 15 percent offering range includes a minimum of
$17,000,000 and a maximum of $23,000,000. Based on the $10.00
per share offering price, this valuation range equates to an
offering of 1,700,000 shares at the minimum to 2,300,000 shares
at the maximum. The Holding Company's offering also includes a
provision for a super maximum, which if exercised, would result
in an offering size of $26,450,000, equal to 2,645,500 shares at
the $10.00 per share offering price. The comparative pro forma
valuation ratios relative to the Peer Group are shown in
Table 4.4, and the key valuation assumptions are detailed in
Exhibit IV-7. The pro forma calculations for the range are
detailed in Exhibit IV-8.

</TABLE>
(1) Interest rate spread is calculated by subtracting combined weighted
average interest rate cost from combined weighted average interest rate
earned for the period indicated. Interest rate spread figures must be
considered in light of the relationship between the amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
(2) The net yield on weighted average interest-earning assets is calculated
by dividing net interest income by weighted average interest-earning
assets for the period indicated. No net yield figure is presented at June
30, 1997 because the computation of net yield is applicable only over a
period rather than at a specific date.

Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933
Gentlemen:
We have completed and hereby provide an updated appraisal of the estimated pro
forma market value of the common stock of Union Federal Savings and Loan
Association, Crawfordsville, Indiana, ("Union Federal" or the "Association").
The stock will be issued in connection with the Association's Plan of
Conversion, by which the Association will convert from the mutual-to-stock form
of organization, and simultaneously issue its shares to a newly-organized
holding company, Union Community Bancorp (the "Holding Company").
This appraisal update is furnished pursuant to the conversion regulations
promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). Our original appraisal
report, dated August 22, 1997 (the "original appraisal") is incorporated herein
by reference. As in the preparation of our original appraisal, we believe the
data and information used herein is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the
accuracy and completeness of such information.
This updated appraisal reflects the following noteworthy items: (1) a review of
recent developments in the Association's financial condition, including updated
financial data through September 30, 1997; (2) an updated comparison of Union
Federal's financial condition and operating results versus the Peer Group
companies identified in the original appraisal; and (3) a review of stock market
conditions since the original appraisal date, along with updated stock prices as
of October 17, 1997. Pro forma market value is defined as the price at which
Union Federal's stock immediately upon its conversion from a mutual to a stock
institution would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller,
neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable
knowledge of relevant facts.
Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of
any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock.
Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and
projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time
to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common
stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at
prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof.
RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and
state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used
as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any
securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its
principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

Discussion of Relevant Considerations
1. Financial Results
Table 1 presents summary balance sheet and income statement details for the
twelve months ended June 30, 1997, as set forth in the original appraisal, and
updated unaudited financial information through September 30, 1997. The overall
composition of Union Federal's September 30, 1997 balance sheet was comparable
to the June 30, 1997 data, with the Association posting an increase in assets
during the quarter. Updated reported earnings for the Association showed a
healthy increase, which was largely attributable to the elimination of the
special SAIF assessment from the Association's updated earnings. On a core
earnings basis, the Association's updated earnings did not change materially
from the original appraisal. Union Federal's total assets increased by $1.4
million, or 1.7 percent, from June 30, 1997 to September 30, 1997, with most of
the growth being realized in loans. Loan growth was in part funded by
redeployment of cash and cash equivalents and cash flow realized from the
repayment of mortgage-backed securities. Overall, the concentration of loans
comprising total assets increased from 86.8 percent to 88.0 percent as of June
30, 1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively, while the cash and investments
ratio declined from 6.8 percent of assets to 5.8 percent of assets over the same
time period. Mortgage-backed securities declined from 2.9 percent of assets at
June 30, 1997 to 2.7 percent of assets at September 30, 1997, reflecting the
ongoing gradual paydown of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Limited
credit risk exposure continued to be indicated by the Association's updated
credit quality measures, with non-performing assets totaling 0.16 percent of
assets at September 30, 1997. Similarly, Union Federal's non-performing
assets-to-assets ratio equaled 0.24 percent at June 30, 1997. The decline in
Union Federal's non-performing assets-to-assets ratio was supported by both a
reduction in the non-performing assets balance and positive asset growth during
the quarter ended September 30, 1997.
Asset growth was primarily funded by borrowings and, to a lesser extent,
deposits and retained earnings. Accordingly, deposits declined as a percent of
assets from 73.6 percent at June 30, 1997 to 72.5 percent at September 30, 1997,
while borrowings increased from 8.4 percent of assets to 9.4 percent of assets
over the same comparative time period. Union Federal's updated equity balance
kept pace with asset growth, equaling 17.2 percent of assets for both periods
shown in Table 1.
Union Federal's operating results for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1997 are also set forth in Tabley1. Updated reported earnings for
the Association were markedly higher, based on comparative ratios of 1.13
percent and 1.37 percent of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30,
1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively. The elimination of the SAIF
recapitalization premium, which was booked during the three months ended
September 30, 1996, accounted for most of the increase in the Association's
updated earnings. On a core earnings basis, there was little change reflected in
Union Federal's updated earnings, with net interest income and operating
expenses remaining the two dominant components of the Association's recurring
earnings. Union Federal's updated net interest income to average assets ratio
was slightly lower, declining from 3.52 percent to 3.44 percent for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively. The lower net
interest income to average assets ratio was the result of a more significant
decline in the interest income ratio, which declined by 20 basis points as a
percent of average assets, compared to the interest expense ratio, which
declined by 12 basis points as a percent of average assets.

<PAGE>
Operating expenses as a percent of average assets, which excludes the one time
SAIF assessment expense, were slightly lower in the Association's updated
earnings, equaling 1.17 percent and 1.15 percent for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively. The modest decline in the
operating expense ratio was attributable to asset growth more than offsetting a
slight increase in the Association's operating expenses. Overall, Union
Federal's lower net interest margin and lower operating expense ratio translated
into an updated expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by operating
expenses) of 2.99x for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, versus a
comparative ratio of 3.01x recorded for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997.
As noted in the original appraisal, the Association's expense coverage ratio is
indicative of favorable core earnings strength. Sources of non-interest
operating income remained a modest contributor to the Association's updated
earnings, declining from 0.07 percent of average assets to 0.06 percent of
average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997,
respectively. When factoring in the limited partnership investment by Union
Federal's wholly-owned subsidiary, U.F.S.Corporation ("UFS"), the Association's
non-interest operating income remained negative for the most recent twelve month
period. The loss resulting from the limited partnership investment equaled 0.19
percent of average assets for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, versus
a comparative loss of 0.26 percent of average assets for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1997. As set forth in the original appraisal, the limited partnership
investment consists of a 48-unit apartment complex in Crawfordsville, Indiana,
which is operated as a low- and moderate-income housing project and, thereby,
qualifies for tax credits that substantially offset the losses resulting from
the limited partnership investment.
Loan loss provisions established were slightly higher in the Association's
updated earnings, increasing from 0.17 percent of average assets to 0.18 percent
of average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997 and September 30,
1997, respectively. The amount of loss provisions established during both of the
twelve month periods shown in Table 1 were higher than what has been established
by Union Federal in recent previous fiscal years, which can be attributed to a
rather significant charge-off taken on a multi-family loan during the current
fiscal year and the growth of the Association's loan portfolio, including growth
of higher risk multi-family loans. Valuation allowances maintained as a percent
of net loans receivable and non-performing assets equaled 0.30 percent and
164.84 percent, respectively, at September 30, 1997, versus comparative ratios
of 0.27 percent and 97.54 percent at June 30, 1997. The most notable difference
in Association's updated earnings was the absence of the one time special SAIF
assessment, which reduced Union Federal's pre-tax earnings by 0.45 percent of
average assets during the twelve months ended June 30, 1997. Net of the SAIF
assessment, the Association's return on average assets ratio for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997 would have approximated the 1.37 percent return
posted by Union Federal for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997. As the
result of tax credits realized from the Association's subsidiary investment in a
low-to-moderate income housing project, Union Federal maintained relatively low
effective tax rates of 27.1 percent and 30.9 percent for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997, respectively.
<PAGE>
2. Peer Group Financial Comparisons
Tables 2 and 3 present the financial characteristics and operating results for
Union Federal, the Peer Group and all publicly-traded SAIF-insured thrifts.
Union Federal's and the Peer Group's ratios are based on financial results
through September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997, respectively.
In general, the comparative balance sheet ratios for the Association and the
Peer Group did not vary significantly from the ratios exhibited in the original
appraisal. Relative to the Peer Group, the Association's interest-earning asset
composition continued to reflect a higher concentration loans and lower levels
of cash and investments and mortgage-backed securities. Overall, consistent with
the original appraisal, Union Federal maintained a comparable level of
interest-earning assets as the Peer Group, with the Association and the Peer
Group posting updated interest-earning assets-to-assets ratios of 97.3 percent
and 97.5 percent, respectively.
<PAGE>
The mix of deposits and borrowings maintained by Union Federal and the Peer
Group also did not reflect any significant changes from the original appraisal.
Union Federal's funding composition continued to be highly comparable to the
Peer Group's, with deposits constituting the major component of their
interest-bearing funds. Borrowings continued to be utilized to a limited degree
by both Union Federal and the Peer Group. Updated interest-bearing liabilities
to assets ratios equaled 81.9 percent and 80.4 percent for the Association and
the Peer Group, respectively, indicating the continued comparability of their
respective capital positions. Union Federal posted an updated equity-to-assets
ratio of 17.2 percent, versus a comparative ratio of 18.3 percent for the Peer
Group. Neither the Association's or the Peer Group's capital included any
intangibles, which was consistent with the original appraisal. Overall, Union
Federal's updated interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities
("IEA/IBL") ratio equaled 118.8 percent, which remained slightly below the
comparative Peer Group average of 121.3 percent. As noted in the original
appraisal, the additional capital realized from the stock conversion should
serve to provide Union Federal with a higher IEA/IBL ratio than currently
maintained by the Peer Group.
<PAGE>
Credit quality measures continued to indicate limited credit risk exposure for
both Union Federal and the Peer Group. Consistent with the original appraisal,
the Association's updated non-performing assets to assets ratio of 0.16 percent
was slightly lower than the comparative Peer Group ratio of 0.38 percent.
Likewise, loss reserve coverage ratios remained somewhat higher for the Peer
Group as a percent of non-performing assets (215.9 percent versus 165.4 percent
for Union Federal) and as a percent of loans (0.52 percent versus 0.30 percent
for Union Federal).
Updated growth rates for Union Federal reflect annualized growth for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, while the Peer Group's growth rates reflect
growth for the twelve months ended June 30, 1997. The Peer Group continued to
post stronger asset growth than the Association, based on updated asset growth
rates of positive 11.2 percent and positive 4.7 percent, respectively. Most of
the Association's asset growth was realized in loan growth, although positive
growth in Union Federal's lower balance of cash and investments translated into
a higher growth rate. The Peer Group's asset growth continued to be sustained by
growth in loans and mortgage-backed securities, which was partially offset by a
decline in cash and investments. Consistent with the original appraisal, the
Peer Group's asset growth measures would tend to support greater earnings growth
relative to the Association's measures. Deposits served as the principal source
of funds to fund the Association's and the Peer Group's asset growth, although a
higher growth rate continued to be reflected for the Peer Group's lower balance
of borrowings. As noted in the original appraisal, the Peer Group's borrowings
growth rate is somewhat understated, as the "NM" borrowings growth rates
indicated for eight of the Peer Group companies includes companies with
borrowings growth rates in excess of 100 percent. For the period shown in Table
2, six out of the eight Peer Group companies with "NMs" recorded borrowing
growth rates in excess of 100 percent. Consistent with the original appraisal,
the Association posted a stronger capital growth rate than the Peer Group
(positive 8.3 percent versus negative 6.5 percent for the Peer Group), which was
in part supported by the higher return on average assets ratio exhibited by the
Association. However, other factors are believed to account for most of the
difference between the Association's and the Peer Group's capital growth rates,
such as the Peer Group's payment of dividends and implementation of stock
repurchase programs. Additionally, the Peer Group's capital growth rate
continued to be understated by Westwood Homestead's capital growth rate
indicated as "NM", due to the impact of conversion proceeds being added to
Westwood Homestead's capital during the 12 month period.
Table 3 displays comparative operating results for Union Federal and the Peer
Group, based on their respective earnings for the twelve months ended September
30, 1997 and June 30, 1997. The Association's updated earnings were viewed as
being representative of their core earnings, while the Peer Group's earnings
continued to reflect the negative earnings impact of the one time assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF. Union Federal's and the Peer Group's updated return on
average assets ratios equaled 1.37 percent and 0.98 percent, respectively, with
the one time SAIF assessment reflected in all of the Peer Group companies'
earnings being the major factor in the lower average return posted by the Peer
Group. On a recurring earnings basis, the Association's updated earnings
continued to reflect a lower net interest margin and a lower level of operating
expenses than the comparative Peer Group ratios. Non-interest operating income
and loss provisions continued to be earnings advantages for the Peer Group,
while Union Federal's earnings continued to reflect the benefit of a lower
effective tax rate.
<PAGE>
In terms of core earnings strength, updated expense coverage ratios posted by
Union Federal and the Peer Group equaled 2.99x and 1.88x, respectively. The
Association's higher expense coverage ratio continued to be supported by
maintenance of a very low operating expense to average assets ratio (1.15
percent versus 1.89 percent for the Peer Group), which was partially offset by
the Peer Group's higher net interest income to average assets ratio (3.56
percent versus 3.44 percent for the Association). The Peer Group's higher net
interest margin was realized through maintaining a lower interest expense ratio,
reflecting Union Federal's relatively high cost of deposits. Partially
offsetting the Peer Group's lower interest expense ratio was the Association's
higher interest income ratio, which continued to be supported by Union Federal's
higher concentration of interest-earning assets maintained in loans.
Non-interest operating income, exclusive of real estate operations, remained a
slightly larger factor in the Peer Group's earnings, with such income amounting
to 0.06 percent and 0.21 percent of the Association's and the Peer Group's
average assets, respectively. After factoring in real estate operations, the
Association's non-interest operating income declined to negative 0.13 percent of
average assets. Comparatively, real estate operations continued to have only a
slight negative impact on the Peer Group's earnings, with the Peer Group's
non-interest operating income declining to 0.20 percent of average assets after
taking into account real estate operations. As noted in the original appraisal,
the Association's real estate operations losses are attributable to the limited
partnership investment by its subsidiary and, thus, the losses are substantially
offset by tax credits realized from the investment. Taking non-interest
operating income into account in comparing the Association's and the Peer
Group's updated earnings, Union Federal's efficiency ratio (operating expenses,
net of amortization of intangibles, as a percent of the sum of non-interest
operating income and net interest income) of 34.7 percent remained more
favorable than the Peer Group's efficiency ratio of 50.3 percent. Loss
provisions remained a more notable factor in the Association's earnings,
amounting to 0.18 percent and 0.05 percent of Union Federal's and the Peer
Group's average assets, respectively. Union Federal's higher loss provisions
continue to reflect the additional loss provisions established to address the
depletion of loss reserves resulting from a charge-off of a multi-family loan,
as well as the Association's recent growth in higher risk types of loans.
<PAGE>
With the removal of the special SAIF assessment from the Association's updated
earnings, non-operating items were no longer a factor in the Association's
earnings. Comparatively, since the Peer Group's earnings continued to be based
on trailing twelve month earnings through June 30, 1997, the SAIF assessment,
which was booked by all SAIF-insured thrifts in the quarter ended September 30,
1996, remained a factor in the Peer Group's earnings. Net gains recorded by the
Peer Group equaled negative 0.34 percent of average assets, which reflects the
negative earnings impact of the SAIF assessment being netted against gains and
losses recorded on the sale of loans and investments. As discussed in the
original appraisal, the SAIF assessment, as well as gains and losses realized
from loans and investments, are viewed as being non-recurring sources of income
and, thus, the negative net gains indicated for the Peer Group's earnings will
be discounted in evaluating the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Peer
Group's and the Association's earnings.
Tax credits realized from Union Federal's subsidiary investment continued to
support a lower effective tax rate for the Association, as indicated by the
Association's and the Peer Group's effective tax rates of 30.9 percent and 37.2
percent, respectively. However, due to an increase in the Association's pre-tax
earnings and the fixed amount of tax credits that can be realized from the
subsidiary investment, Union Federal's updated effective tax rate was higher
and, therefore, more comparable to the Peer Group's effective tax rate as
compared to the original appraisal.
3. Stock Market Conditions
Since the date of the original appraisal, the performance of the overall stock
market has been mixed. After experiencing notable volatility in mid-August 1997,
the stock market edged lower at the end of August despite a strengthening bond
market. Bonds moved higher on inflation data which showed that prices stayed low
during the second quarter, even though second quarter GDP growth was revised
upward to an annual rate of 3.6 percent compared to an original estimate of 2.2
percent. Volatility returned to the stock market in early-September, with the
DJIA posting a record breaking point increase of 257.36 on September 2, 1997.
The rally was sparked by economic data that indicated manufacturing growth
slowed in August, thereby easing inflation worries. However, the rally was not
sustained, as the DJIA pulled back following the one day rally. The pull back
was largely attributed to profit worries, which more than offset favorable
inflation news indicated by a slight increase in the national unemployment rate
for August (4.9 percent in August versus 4.8 percent in July). Stocks fluctuated
in a narrow trading range in mid-September, in anticipation of third quarter
earnings and August economic data. The low inflation reading indicated by the
August consumer price index sent stock and bond prices sharply higher on
September 16, 1997, with the DJIA posting a 175 point increase and the yield on
the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond posting its second largest decline in the 1990s.
Uncertainty over third quarter earnings provided for a mixed stock market
performance towards the end of September, while generally favorable inflation
readings pushed interest rates to their lowest level in two years.
<PAGE>
September employment data served to further the bond market rally in
early-October, as the September unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9 percent
and fewer jobs than expected were added to the economy during September. Lower
interest rates and expectations of favorable third quarter earnings provided for
a positive stock market environment as well in early-October. However,
congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman, in which he indicated
that it would be difficult to maintain the current balance between tight labor
markets and low inflation, caused stock and bond prices to skid in mid-October.
Disappointing third quarter earnings in the technology sector sharpened the
sell-off in the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA")
posting consecutive losses of more than 1.0 percent on October 16th and 17th. On
October 17, 1997, the DJIA closed at 7847.03, a decline of 0.5ypercent since the
date of the original appraisal.
Since the original appraisal date, thrift issues in general have outperformed
the overall stock market. Thrift prices edged higher in late-August, as the
Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates unchanged at its August meeting.
Thrift stocks participated in the one day stock market rally on September 2,
1997, as evidenced by a 1.95 percent increase in the SNL Index. News of
NationsBank's proposed acquisition of Barnett Banks for more than four times its
book value appears to have further contributed to the one day run-up in thrift
prices. In contrast to the overall stock market, thrift prices continued to move
higher following the one day rally in the DJIA. Stable interest rates and
acquisition news sustained the positive market for thrift issues. The decline in
interest rates following the release of the August consumer price index in
mid-September served to further the rally in thrift prices. During
late-September and early-October, interest-rate sensitive issues in general
benefited from the declining interest rate environment and expectations of
strong third quarter earnings. Prices of thrift and bank stocks also continued
to be positively influenced by industry consolidation and rising acquisition
multiples being paid for thrift and bank franchises. The upward trend in thrift
prices stalled in mid-October, as interest rates moved higher following warnings
by the Federal Reserve Chairman of inflation creeping back into the economy due
to the tight labor markets. On October 17, 1997, the SNL Index for all
publicly-traded thrifts closed at 749.3, an increase of 12.9 ypercent since the
date of the original appraisal.
Consistent with the SNL index, the pricing measures for all publicly-traded
SAIF-insured thrifts and the Peer Group generally increased since the date of
the original appraisal. Overall, the increases posted by all publicly-traded
SAIF-insured thrifts were not quite as strong as the comparative increases
posted by the Peer Group. As in the original appraisal, the Peer Group
maintained a lower price/book ratio and a lower core price/earnings multiple
relative to the comparative averages for all publicly-traded SAIF-insured
thrifts. Since the date of the original appraisal, all eleven of the Peer Group
companies were trading at higher prices as of October 17, 1997.

The "new issue" market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned
issues like the Peer Group companies. Accordingly, as discussed in the original
appraisal, RP Financial has considered the pro forma pricing and trading level
of recently converted companies in this updated appraisal. Since the date of the
original appraisal, market interest for converting thrifts has remained very
strong. In recent conversion activity, most issues have experienced
oversubscriptions and have posted notable price increases in initial trading
activity. As shown in Table 4, the average one week change for standard
conversion offerings completed during the latest three months equaled positive
54.0 percent. The average pro forma price/tangible book and price/earnings
ratios of the recent conversions, excluding second step conversions, was 70.8
percent and 16.6 times, generally reflecting closings at super maximum values.
<PAGE>
Shown in Table 5 is a summary of recently completed conversions which closed in
the last three months. Relative to the original appraisal date, which reflected
pricing ratios as of August 22, 1997, the newly converted companies increased in
value by 9.2 percent on a price-to-book basis, from an average 118.20 percent
pro forma P/B ratio at August 22, 1997 to an average 129.07 percent pro forma
P/B ratio at October 17, 1997. Comparatively, a decline was recorded in the pro
forma core P/E multiple for the recent conversions, although companies with core
P/E multiples of greater than 30 times have been excluded from the average. Only
two of the four recently converted companies were trading at a core P/E multiple
of less than 30 times at October 17, 1997. Likewise, as of the original
appraisal date, the core P/E multiple for the recent conversions consisted of
only one company with a multiple of less than 30x and, thus, the core P/E
multiples indicated for the recent conversions are not viewed as being highly
meaningful in our comparative analysis. In comparison to the average P/B ratio
of all publicly-traded thrifts, which equaled 156.35 percent at October 17,
1997, the average P/B ratio of the recent conversions was discounted by 17.4
percent, and the average core P/E ratio for the recent conversions reflected a
notable premium to the all publicly-traded average core P/E ratio of 19.86
times. As noted in the original appraisal, the pricing ratios of the better
capitalized but lower earning recently converted thrifts suggest that the
investment community has determined to discount their stock price on a book
basis, until the earnings improve through redeployment and leveraging of the
proceeds over the longer term.
Summary of Adjustments
In the original appraisal, we made the following adjustments to Union Federal's
pro forma value based upon our comparative analysis to the Peer Group:
Previous Valuation
Key Valuation Parameters: Adjustment
Financial Condition No Adjustment
Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings Slight Downward
Asset Growth Moderate Downward
Primary Market Area No Adjustment
Dividends No Adjustment
Liquidity of the Shares No Adjustment
Marketing of the Issue No Adjustment
Management No Adjustment
Effect of Government Regulations and Regulatory Reform No Adjustment
The factors concerning the valuation parameters of primary market area,
dividends, liquidity of the shares, management and effect of government
regulation and regulatory reform did not change since the original appraisal
date. Accordingly, those parameters were not discussed further in this update.
<PAGE>
There were no material changes in the updated financial conditions of the
Association and the Peer Group, with both Union Federal's and the Peer Group's
balance sheets remaining indicative of low risk traditional thrift operating
strategies. Union Federal's funding composition continued to represent a
negative valuation consideration, due to the Association's relatively high cost
of funds resulting from a deposit composition concentrated in CDs and the
payment of relatively high CD rates to sustain deposit growth. The negative
adjustment for the Association's funding composition continued to be largely
negated by a positive valuation consideration for the Association's stronger pro
forma capital position. Therefore, as compared to the Peer Group, RP Financial
concluded no adjustment continued to be appropriate for Union Federal's
financial condition. A moderate downward valuation adjustment remained
appropriate for Union Federal's asset growth, as the Association continued to
exhibit less favorable historical growth than the Peer Group despite maintaining
a comparable level of capital as the Peer Group. Union Federal's relatively
limited resources and unproven ability to realize stronger growth without
altering its low cost operating structure also remained applicable in the
downward adjustment applied for the Association's assets growth. The
Association's updated core earnings remained slightly more favorable than the
Peer Group's, which continued to be attributable to Union Federal's very low
level of operating expenses. Likewise, earnings growth potential and return on
equity remained negative valuation considerations for the Association, in light
of the Association's limited capacity to implement a more aggressive growth
strategy with current resources and the below market return on equity that will
be imposed by Union Federal's significant pro forma capital position.
Accordingly, we continue to believe a slight downward adjustment remains
appropriate for the quality, predictability and growth of the Association's
earnings relative to the Peer Group's.
The general market for thrift stocks has increased since the date of
the original appraisal, with all publicly-traded SAIF-insured thrifts and the
Peer Group exhibiting higher pricing ratios compared to the original appraisal
date. Indicative of the favorable market for thrift stocks was the 12.9 percent
increase recorded in the SNL index since the original appraisal date. Market
conditions are viewed as continuing to be favorable for converting thrift issues
as well, based on the aftermarket performance of thrift issues which have
converted since the date of the original appraisal. Therefore, taking into
consideration the trading activity of all publicly-traded thrifts, the Peer
Group, and recent conversions, we believe no adjustment is appropriate for
marketing of the issue.

Valuation Approaches
In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS, i.e., the
pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in
valuing Union Federal's to-be-issued stock -- price/earnings ("P/E"), price/book
("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches -- all performed on a pro forma
basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds. In computing the pro
forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, the valuation
parameters for effective tax rate, reinvestment rate, and stock benefit plan
assumptions utilized in the original appraisal did not change in this update.
Offering expenses were revised from the original appraisal, due to the increase
in value and resulting higher commission fees. The pro assumptions are
summarized in Exhibits 3 and 4.
Consistent with the original appraisal, this updated appraisal continues to be
based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer Group,
including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach. Also
consistent with the original appraisal, this updated appraisal also incorporates
a technical analysis of recently completed stock conversions, including
principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in the original appraisal) is
the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma P/E ratios reflect an assumed
reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the actual use of proceeds. Based on
the foregoing, we have concluded that the pro forma market value of Union
Federal's stock is subject to an increase. The increase takes into account the
Association's capital growth since the original appraisal and resulting
comparative Peer Group discounts reflected in the P/TB ratio and core P/E
multiple. Therefore, as of October 17, 1997, the pro forma market value of Union
Federal's stock has been increased from $20.0 million to $23.0 million at the
midpoint of the valuation range. The Association has adopted Statement of
Position ("SOP" 93-6) which will cause earnings per share computations to be
based on shares issued and outstanding excluding shares owned by an ESOP where
there is not a commitment to release such shares. For the purpose of preparing
the pro forma pricing tables and exhibits, we have reflected all shares issued
in the offering including shares purchased by the ESOP as outstanding to capture
the full dilutive impact of such stock to the Association's shareholders.
However, we have considered the impact of the Association's adoption of SOP 93-6
in the determination of Union Federal's pro forma value.

1. P/E Approach. In applying the P/E approach, RP Financial's valuation
conclusions were based on the Association's and the Peer Group's recurring or
"core" earnings estimates. Union Federal's reported earnings for the twelve
months ended September 30, 1997 equaled $1.148 million. In the original
appraisal one adjustment was made to the Association's reported earnings, which
was to eliminate the one time expense of the SAIF assessment. Accordingly, since
the special SAIF assessment was not a factor in the Association's update
earnings, Union Federal's reported earnings for the twelve months ended
September 30, 1997 were viewed as being representative of its core earnings and
required no adjustment to derive core earnings. Exhibit 2 provides the
adjustments applied to the Peer Group's earnings in the calculation of core
earnings.
Based on Union Federal's core earnings, and incorporating the impact of
the pro forma assumptions discussed previously, the Association's core P/E
multiple at the $23.0 million midpoint value equaled 12.87 times (versus the
11.98x midpoint valuation in the original appraisal). Comparatively, the Peer
Group posted an average core P/E multiple of 18.82 times, which indicated a
discount of 31.6 percent in the Association's core P/E multiple (versus a
discount of 29.8 percent as indicated in the original appraisal). The implied
conversion pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group's pricing ratios are
indicated in Table 6, and the updated pro forma calculations are detailed in
Exhibits 3 and 4.
2. P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the
valuation of thrift stocks, with the greater determinant of long term value
being earnings. Based on the $23.0 million midpoint value, Union Federal's pro
forma P/B ratio was 66.49 percent (versus the 63.60 percent midpoint valuation
in the original appraisal). Relative to the average P/B ratio indicated for the
Peer Group of 134.90 percent, Union Federal's updated valuation reflected a 50.7
percent discount relative to the Peer Group (versus the 44.6 percent discount
applied in the original appraisal).
In addition to the fundamental analysis applied to the Peer Group, RP
Financial utilized a technical analysis of recent conversion pricing
characteristics at conversion (excluding second step conversions) and in the
aftermarket. Consistent with the original appraisal, particular focus was placed
on the P/B approach in this analysis, since the P/E multiples do not reflect the
actual impact of reinvestment and the source of conversion funds (i.e., external
funds versus deposit withdrawals). The recent conversions indicated a current
average P/B ratio of 129.07 percent and a P/B ratio at closing of 70.8 percent
for standard conversion offerings completed within the past three months. At the
$23.0 million midpoint value, Union Federal's pro forma valuation resulted in a
48.5 percent discount relative to the average of the newly converted companies
trading in the aftermarket, versus a 46.2 percent discount applied in the
original appraisal. Relative to the 70.8 percent average closing P/B ratio of
the recent standard conversions, Union Federal's updated P/B ratio of 66.5
percent at the $23.0 million midpoint value reflected a discount of 6.1 percent
versus a comparative 9.9 percent discount in the original appraisal. The
Association's pricing in the upper portion of the range exceeds the average
closing P/B ratio for the recent conversions. As noted in the original
appraisal, the comparability of the Association's pro forma pricing to the
aftermarket P/B ratios of the recent conversion is viewed as being diminished
somewhat by the dynamics of pro forma pricing, in that the Association's
significant pre-conversion capital and the increase in capital resulting from
the valuation necessarily precludes a pro forma P/B ratio approaching 100
percent of book value.
3. P/A Approach. While generally less emphasized than the other pricing
ratios, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value and, in the case of
highly capitalized institutions, high P/A ratios may limit the investment
community's willingness to pay market multiples for earnings or book value when
ROE is expected to be low. At the $23.0 million midpoint value, Union Federal's
P/A ratio equaled 21.79 percent. In comparison to the Peer Group's average P/A
ratio of 24.44 percent, Union Federal's P/A ratio indicated a discount of 10.8
percent (versus a discount of 4.9 percent at the midpoint valuation in the
original appraisal).
<PAGE>
Summary
We have concluded that the Association's estimated pro forma market value should
be increased since the date of the original appraisal, based on the
Association's updated financial condition and resulting comparative Peer Group
discounts. Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of October 17,
1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the Association was $23,000,000 at
the midpoint, equal to 2,300,000 shares offered at $10.00 per share. Pursuant to
the conversion guidelines, the 15 percent offering range includes a minimum of
$19,550,000 and a maximum of $26,450,000. Based on the $10.00 per share offering
price, this valuation range equates to an offering of 1,955,000 shares at the
minimum to 2,645,000 shares at the maximum. The Holding Company's offering also
includes a provision for a super maximum, which if exercised, would result in an
offering size of $30,417,500, equal to 3,041,750 shares at the $10.00 per share
offering price. The comparative pro forma valuation ratios relative to the Peer
Group are shown in Table 6, and the key valuation assumptions are detailed in
Exhibit 3. The pro forma calculations for the range are detailed in Exhibit 4.
