FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
April 19, 2000
This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the holders of common stock,
without par value (the "Common Stock"), of Union Community Bancorp (the "Holding
Company"), an Indiana corporation, in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of the Holding Company to be voted at the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 3:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time,
on April 19, 2000, at the Holding Company's principal office at 221 E. Main
Street, Crawfordsville, Indiana, and at any adjournment of such meeting. The
principal asset of the Holding Company consists of 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Union Federal
Savings and Loan Association (the "Association"). This Proxy Statement is
expected to be mailed to the shareholders of the Holding Company on or about
March 15, 2000.
The proxy solicited hereby, if properly signed and returned to the Holding
Company and not revoked prior to its use, will be voted in accordance with the
instructions contained therein. If no contrary instructions are given, each
proxy received will be voted for each of the matters described below and, upon
the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting,
in accordance with the best judgment of the persons appointed as proxies.
Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time
before it is exercised by (i) filing with the Secretary of the Holding Company
written notice thereof (Denise E. Swearingen, 221 E. Main Street,
Crawfordsville, Indiana 47933), (ii) submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date, or (iii) by appearing at the Annual Meeting and giving the Secretary
notice of his or her intention to vote in person. Proxies solicited hereby may
be exercised only at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment thereof and will not
be used for any other meeting.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 21, 2000
("Voting Record Date"), will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the
Voting Record Date, there were 2,600,700 shares of the Common Stock issued and
outstanding, and the Holding Company had no other class of equity securities
outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual
Meeting on all matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting. The holders of
over 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Voting Record Date
must be present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to constitute a
quorum. In determining whether a quorum is present, shareholders who abstain,
cast broker non-votes, or withhold authority to vote on one or more director
nominees will be deemed present at the Annual Meeting.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock as of February 21, 2000, by each person who is
known by the Holding Company to own beneficially 5% or more of the Common Stock.
Unless otherwise indicated, the named beneficial owner has sole voting and
dispositive power with respect to the shares.

filed by the above-listed person with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") containing information concerning shares held by
it. It does not reflect any changes in those shareholdings which may
have occurred since the date of such filing.
(2) These shares are held by the Trustee of the Union Community Bancorp
Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the "ESOP"). The Employees
participating in that Plan are entitled to instruct the Trustee how to
vote shares held in their accounts under the Plan. Unallocated shares
held in a suspense account under the Plan are required under the Plan
terms to be voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as allocated
shares are voted.
PROPOSAL I -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors consists of seven members. The By-Laws provide that
the Board of Directors is to be divided into three classes as nearly equal in
number as possible. The members of each class are to be elected for a term of
three years and until their successors are elected and qualified. One class of
directors is to be elected annually. Directors must have their principal
domicile in Montgomery County, Indiana, must have had a loan or deposit
relationship with the Association for a continuous period of 12 months prior to
their nomination to the Board (or in the case of directors in office on
September 11, 1997, prior to that date), and non-employee directors must have
served as a member of a civic or community organization based in Montgomery
County, Indiana for at least a continuous period of 12 months during the five
years prior to their nomination to the Board. The nominees for director this
year are Samuel H. Hildebrand and Harry A. Siamas, each of whom is a current
director of the Holding Company. If elected by the shareholders at the Annual
Meeting, the terms of Messrs. Hildebrand and Siamas will expire in 2003.
Unless otherwise directed, each proxy executed and returned by a
shareholder will be voted for the election of the nominees listed below. If any
person named as a nominee should be unable or unwilling to stand for election at
the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will nominate and vote for a
replacement nominee recommended by the Board of Directors. At this time, the
Board of Directors knows of no reason why the nominees listed below may not be
able to serve as directors if elected.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the nominees
for the position of director of the Holding Company, including the number and
percent of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such persons as of the
Voting Record Date. Unless otherwise indicated, each nominee has sole investment
and/or voting power with respect to the shares shown as beneficially owned by
him. Joseph E. Timmons, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Holding
Company, is the father-in-law of Alan L. Grimble, the Association's Vice
President. Apart from this relationship, no nominee for director is related to
any other nominee for director or executive officer of the Holding Company by
blood, marriage, or adoption, and there are no arrangements or understandings
between any nominee and any other person pursuant to which such nominee was
selected. The table also sets forth the number of shares of Holding Company
Common Stock beneficially owned by all directors and executive officers of the
Holding Company as a group.

The Association also has a director emeritus program pursuant to which our
former directors may continue to serve as advisors to the Board of Directors
upon their retirement or resignation from the Board. Currently, Lester B. Sommer
serves as a director emeritus.
THE DIRECTORS SHALL BE ELECTED UPON RECEIPT OF A PLURALITY OF VOTES CAST AT
THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING. PLURALITY MEANS THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVE
THE LARGEST NUMBER OF VOTES CAST ARE ELECTED UP TO THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF
DIRECTORS TO BE CHOSEN AT THE MEETING. ABSTENTIONS, BROKER NON-VOTES, AND
INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY TO WITHHOLD AUTHORITY TO VOTE FOR ONE OR
MORE OF THE NOMINEES WILL RESULT IN THE RESPECTIVE NOMINEE RECEIVING FEWER
VOTES. HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF VOTES OTHERWISE RECEIVED BY THE NOMINEE WILL NOT
BE REDUCED BY SUCH ACTION.
The Board of Directors and its Committees
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the Board of Directors of
the Holding Company held meetings and acted by written consent seven times. No
director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate total number of meetings
during the last fiscal year of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company
held while he served as director and of meetings of committees which he served
during that fiscal year. The Board of Directors of the Holding Company has an
Audit Committee and a Stock Compensation Committee, among its other Board
Committees. All committee members are appointed by the Board of Directors.
The Audit Committee, comprised of all directors except Joseph E. Timmons,
recommends the appointment of the Holding Company's independent accountants, and
meets with them to outline the scope and review the results of such audit. The
Audit Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.
The Stock Compensation Committee administers the Option Plan and the RRP.
The members of that Committee are Messrs. Boots, Burkett, Grush, Hildebrand, and
Horner. It met one time during fiscal 1999.
The Board of Directors of the Holding Company nominated the slate of
directors set forth in the Proxy Statement. Although the Board of Directors of
the Holding Company will consider nominees recommended by shareholders, it has
not actively solicited recommendations for nominees from shareholders nor has it
established procedures for this purpose. Directors must satisfy certain
qualification requirements set forth in the Holding Company's By-Laws. Article
III, Section 12 of the Holding Company's By-Laws provides that shareholders
entitled to vote for the election of directors may name nominees for election to
the Board of Directors but there are certain requirements that must be satisfied
in order to do so. Among other things, written notice of a proposed nomination
must be received by the Secretary of the Holding Company not less than 120 days
prior to the Annual Meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than
130 days' notice or public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to shareholders (which notice or public disclosure includes the date of the
Annual Meeting specified in the Holding Company's By-Laws if the Annual Meeting
is held on such date), notice must be 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.
Management Remuneration and Related Transactions
Remuneration of Named Executive Officer
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, no cash compensation was
paid directly by the Holding Company to any of its executive officers. Each of
such officers was compensated by the Association.
The following tables set forth information as to annual, long term and
other compensation for services in all capacities to the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Holding Company for the three fiscal years ended
December 31, 1998 (the "Named Executive Officer"). There were no other executive
officers of the Holding Company who earned over $100,000 in salary and bonuses
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

(1) This column includes directors fees paid to Mr. Timmons.
(2) Mr. Timmons received certain perquisites, but the incremental cost of
providing such perquisites did not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of
his salary and bonus.
(3) The value of the restricted stock awards was determined by multiplying the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the shares were awarded
by the number of shares awarded. These shares vest over a five year period,
commencing June 30, 1998. As of December 31, 1999, the number and aggregate
value of restricted stock holdings by Mr. Timmons were 24,000 and $264,000,
respectively. Dividends paid on the restricted shares are payable to the
grantee as the shares are vested and are not included in the table.
The following table includes the number of shares covered by exercisable
and unexercisable stock options held by the Named Executive Officer as of
December 31, 1999. Also reported are the values for "in-the-money" options
(options whose exercise price is lower than the market value of the shares at
fiscal year end) which represent the spread between the exercise price of any
such existing stock options and the fiscal year-end market price of the stock.

(1) Since the average between the high asked and low bid prices for the shares
on December 31, 1999, was $11.00 per share, and this price is below the
$14.59 per share exercise price of the options, none of Mr. Timmons'
options were "in-the-money" on December 31, 1999.
No stock options were granted to or exercised by the Named Executive
Officer during fiscal 1999.
Employment Contract
The Association entered into a three-year employment contract with Mr.
Timmons. The contract with Mr. Timmons extends annually for an additional
one-year term to maintain its three-year term if the Association's Board of
Directors determines to so extend it, unless notice not to extend is properly
given by either party to the contract. Mr. Timmons receives an initial salary
under the contract equal to his salary with the Association prior to the
Conversion, subject to increases approved by the Board of Directors. The
contract also provides, among other things, for participation in other fringe
benefits and benefit plans available to the Association's employees. Mr. Timmons
may terminate his employment upon 60 days' written notice to the Association.
The Association may discharge Mr. Timmons for cause (as defined in the contract)
at any time or in certain specified events. If the Association terminates 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 the
Association's 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 the
Association 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
with any other payments made to Mr. Timmons by the Association, are deemed to be
payments in violation of the "golden parachute" rules of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), such payments will be reduced to the
largest amount which would not cause the Association 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 after a change of control of the Holding Company, without cause by
the Association, 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 the Association's confidential business
information and protects the Association from competition by Mr. Timmons should
he voluntarily terminate his employment without cause or be terminated by the
Association for cause.
Compensation of Directors
The Association pays its directors a monthly retainer of $500 plus $250
for each month in which they attend one or more meetings. Total fees paid to its
directors and advisory directors for the year ended December 31, 1999, were
approximately $74,500.
Directors of the Holding Company 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.
Transactions With Certain Related Persons
The law firm Collier, Homann & Siamas, based in Crawfordsville, Indiana,
of which Harry A. Siamas, a director of the Holding Company, is a partner,
served as legal counsel to the Holding Company and its subsidiaries in various
matters during 1999. The Holding Company expects to continue using the services
of this law firm for such matters in the current fiscal year.
The Association has followed a policy of offering to its directors,
officers, and employees real estate mortgage loans secured by their principal
residence and other loans. These loans are made in the ordinary course of
business with the same collateral, interest rates and underwriting criteria as
those of comparable transactions prevailing at the time and do not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
Loans to directors, executive officers and their associates totaled
approximately $1,532,132 million or 4.0% of net worth, at December 31, 1999.
Current law authorizes the Association to make loans or extensions of
credit to its executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders on the
same terms that are available with respect to loans made to its employees. At
present, the Association's loans to executive officers, directors, principal
shareholders and employees are made on the same terms generally available to the
public. The Association may in the future, however, adopt a program under which
it 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 the Association's 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. The Association's policy
regarding loans to directors and all employees meets the requirements of current
law.
ACCOUNTANTS
Olive LLP has served as auditors for the Association since July 1, 1995,
and for the Holding Company since its formation in 1997. The Holding Company
believes that a representative of Olive LLP will be present at the Annual
Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. He or
she will also be available to respond to any appropriate questions shareholders
may have. The Board of Directors of the Holding Company has not yet completed
the process of selecting an independent public accounting firm to audit its
books, records and accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") requires
that the Holding Company's officers and directors and persons who own more than
10% of the Holding Company's Common Stock file reports of ownership and changes
in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Officers,
directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to
furnish the Holding Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they
file.
Based solely on its review of the copies of each forms received by it,
and/or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5
were required for those persons, the Holding Company believes that during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, all filing requirements applicable to its
officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners with respect to
Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act were satisfied in a timely manner.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any proposal which a shareholder wishes to have presented at the next
Annual Meeting of the Holding Company and included in the Proxy Statement and
form of proxy relating to that meeting must be received at the main office of
the Holding Company for inclusion in the proxy statement no later than 120 days
in advance of March 15, 2001. Any such proposal should be sent to the attention

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Union Community Bancorp (the "Holding Company" and together with the
Association, as defined below, the "Company") is an Indiana corporation
organized in September, 1997, to become a savings and loan holding company upon
its acquisition of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Union Federal
Savings and Loan Association ("Union Federal" or the "Association") in
connection with the Association's conversion from mutual to stock form. The
Holding Company became the Association's holding company on December 29, 1997;
therefore, all historical financial and other data contained for periods prior
to December 29, 1997 herein relate solely to the Association while historical
financial and other data contained herein for the period after December 29, 1997
relate to the Company. The principal asset of the Holding Company currently
consists of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, $.01 par
value per share, of the Association.
The Association is a federal savings and loan association which
conducts its business from a full-service office located in Crawfordsville,
Indiana. The Association offers a variety of lending, deposit and other
financial services to its retail and commercial customers. The Association's
principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and
originating mortgage loans, most of which are secured by one- to four-family
residential real property in Montgomery County. The Association also offers
multi-family loans, construction loans, non-residential real estate loans, home
equity loans and consumer loans, including single-pay loans, loans secured by
deposits, installment loans and commercial loans. The Association derives most
of its funds for lending from deposits of its customers, which consist primarily
of certificates of deposit, demand accounts and savings accounts.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
On behalf of our employees and Board of Directors, I take great pleasure in
providing you with the 1999 Annual Report of Shareholders of Union Community
Bancorp, the holding company for Union Federal Savings and Loan Association.
The past year was a good lending year. Net loans increased by approximately 17%,
or by $15.3 million, to $106.2 million. Our deposits increased moderately by
$4.1 million, to $69.0 million, while our total assets increased by 11.5%, or
$12.5 million to $120.7 million.
In furtherance of our continuing efforts to increase shareholder value, Union
Community completed the repurchase of 288,963 shares of its outstanding stock
during 1999 at a cost of approximately$3.4 million. By reducing the number of
the Corporation's shares of common stock, these share repurchases have a
positive effect on our return on equity. However, the share repurchases had a
negative effect on our return on assets because the foregone earnings on the
cash used for the repurchase decreased our net earnings for the year. The
Corporation has now repurchased 441,050 shares at a cost of approximately $5.3
million and has received approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision to
repurchase up to an additional 10% of our outstanding common stock during 2000.
We did not experience any significant problems in connection with the "Y2K"
issue. Each of our material electronic data processing systems made the
transition from 1999 to 2000. Now we are on to the new millennium and our third
year as a savings and loan holding company and as a stock savings association.
Our entire management team and your Board of Directors look forward to the
challenges which lie ahead with a renewed sense of anticipation and commitment.
We thank you, our customers and shareholders, for your support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Joseph E. Timmons
Joseph E. Timmons,
President & Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Holding Company was incorporated for the purpose of owning all of
the outstanding shares of Union Federal. The following discussion and analysis
of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with and with reference to the consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto included herein.
In addition to the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's operations and actual results could differ
significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some of
the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed
herein but also include changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation
and the Company's general market area. The forward-looking statements contained
herein include, but are not limited to, those with respect to the following
matters:
1. Management's determination of the amount of loan loss allowance;
2. The effect of changes in interest rates;
3. Changes in deposit insurance premiums; and
4. Proposed legislation that would eliminate the federal thrift charter
and the separate federal regulation of thrifts.
Average Balances and Interest Rates and Yields
The following tables present for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, the balances, interest rates and average monthly balances of each
category of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the interest earned or paid on such amounts. 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.

<PAGE>
Interest Rate Spread
The Company's 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. The Company's net interest income is
determined by the interest rate spread between the yields the Company earns on
interest-earning assets and the rates it pays 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 the Company earned on its loan and investment portfolios, the weighted
average effective cost of its deposits and advances, the interest rate spread,
and net yield on weighted average interest-earning assets for the periods.
Average balances are based on average month-end balances. 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.

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.
The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest
rates and changes in volume of interest-related assets and liabilities have
affected the Company's interest income and expense during the periods indicated.
For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability,
information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in rate (changes
in rate multiplied by old volume) and (2) changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by old rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume which
cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally to the change due to
volume and the change due to rate.

Financial Condition at December 31, 1999 Compared to Financial Condition at
December 31, 1998
Total assets increased approximately $12.5 million, or 11.5%, to $120.7
million at December 31, 1999, from $108.2 million at December 31, 1998. The
increase was primarily due to loan growth of $15.3 million offset by a decrease
in cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million. Net loans increased by 16.8% to
$106.2 million due to an increase in customer demand and an increased focus by
the Company in the areas of commercial and consumer lending.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses. Average loans for the year ended
December 31, 1999 were $100.1 million compared to average loans for the 1998
period of $86.4 million, an increase of approximately 16%. The growth in loans
was funded by a decrease in short-term interest bearing deposits and increases
in deposits and FHLB advances. The average rates on loans were 8.02% for 1998
and 7.71% for 1999, a decrease of 31 basis points. As loans increased the
allowance for loan losses also increased from $362,000 at December 31, 1998 to
$422,000 at December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
total loans remained constant from 1998 to 1999 at .40%. The increase in the
allowance for loan losses was a result of a $60,000 provision for loan losses
for the year ended December 31, 1999. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses
to non-performing loans was 103.7% at December 31, 1998 compared to 253.7% at
December 31, 1999. Nonperforming loans decreased from $349,000 at December 31,
1998 to $166,000 at December 31, 1999.
Deposits. Deposits increased $4.1 million to $69.0 million during 1999,
an increase of 6.4%. Increased deposits were utilized to fund loan growth.
Interest bearing demand accounted for the majority of the growth with an
increase of $6.0 million, or 50.5%, during this period. Average total deposits
increased $4.7 million, or 7.6%, from $62.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1998 compared to $67.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Borrowed Funds. Borrowed funds increased $10.7 million from December
31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. The increase in total borrowed funds was
comprised of an increase in FHLB advances of $10.9 million 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
$183,000. The note to Pedcor was used to fund an 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. As with deposits, the increased
borrowed funds were used to fund loan growth. Average FHLB advances increased to
$6.0 million for 1999 compared to $873,000 for 1998.
Shareholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity decreased approximately $2.3
million to $38.3 million at December 31, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to
stock repurchases of $3.4 million and cash dividends of $1.2 million. These
decreases were offset by net income for year ended December 31, 1999 of $2.0
million, Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares earned of $122,000 and unearned
compensation amortization of $227,000.
Financial Condition at December 31, 1998 Compared to Financial Condition at
December 31, 1997
Total assets decreased $23.9 million, or 18.1% at December 31, 1998,
compared to December 31, 1997. The decline was primarily in cash and cash
equivalents, which decreased $38.6 million as the result of the Company's
payment of the stock subscriptions refundable of $22.7 million at December 31,
1997. This decrease in cash and cash equivalents was offset by increases in net
loans and investment securities held to maturity. Net loans increased $12.5
million, or 15.9%, due primarily to an increase in customer demand. Investment
securities held to maturity increased by $2.2 million, or 37.9%.
Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses. Average loans increased $12.0 million,
or 16.2%, from the period ended December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998. The
growth in loans was funded by stock conversion proceeds. Average loans were
$74.4 million for the 1997 period and $86.4 million for the 1998 period. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased from .32% to
.40% due to an increase in the allowance for loan losses from $252,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $362,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase in the
allowance for loan losses was a result of a $110,000 provision for loan losses
for the year ended December 31, 1998. This increase in the allowance was due to
loan growth and an increase in non-performing loans. The ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to non-performing loans was 484.6% at December 31, 1997 compared
to 103.7% at December 31, 1998. Nonperforming loans increased from $52,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $349,000 at December 31, 1998. Included in nonperforming
loans at December 31, 1998 were $322,000 of impaired loans.
Deposits. Deposits increased $2.6 million to $64.8 million during 1998, an
increase of 4.2%. Increased deposits were utilized to fund loan growth.
Certificates of deposits accounted for the majority of the growth with an
increase of $2.6 million, or 5.7%, during this period. Average total deposits
increased $787,000, or 1.3%, from $61.6 million for the year ended December 31,
1997 compared to $62.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Borrowed Funds. Borrowed funds decreased $1.8 million, or 49.8%, from
December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998. The decline in total borrowed funds was
comprised of a decrease in FHLB advances of $1.6 million, 67.5%, 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
$179,000, or 14.9%. The note to Pedcor was used to fund an 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. Due to the conversion
proceeds available to fund loan growth, it was not necessary to renew advances
as they matured. Average FHLB advances decreased to $873 million for 1998
compared to $5.7 million for 1997, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 84.8%.
Shareholders' Equity. Shareholders' equity decreased $2.4 million from
$42.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $40.5 million at December 31, 1998. The
decrease was primarily due to the $1.8 million contribution made to fund the
recognition and retention compensation plan, stock repurchases of $1.9 million
and cash dividends of $1.3 million. These decreases were offset by net income
for the year ended December 31, 1998 of $2.0 million, Employee Stock Ownership
Plan shares earned of $149,000 and unearned compensation amortization of
$114,000.
Comparison of Operating Results For Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
General. Net income decreased $4,000, or .2%, from $1,974,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998 to $1,970,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to an increase in total other expenses. The return on
average assets was 1.72% and 1.82 % for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively.
Interest Income. Total interest income was $8.5 million for 1999 compared
to $8.1 million for 1998. The increase in interest income was due to an increase
in volume. Average earning assets increased $6.3 million, or 5.9%, from $106.2
million for 1998 compared to $112.5 million for 1999. The average yield on
interest-earning assets decreased from 7.6% for the year ended December 31, 1998
to 7.5% for the comparable period in 1999.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $402,000, or 11.8%, for the
year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the year ended December 31, 1998.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $9.9 million, or 15.6%, from
$63.3 million for the 1998 period to $73.2 million during the 1999 period.
Average deposits increased by $4.7 million, or 7.5%, from $62.4 million for the
1998 period to $67.1 million for the 1999 period. Average FHLB advances
increased $5.2 million, or 592.2%, from $873,000 for the 1998 period to $6.0
million during the 1999 period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $37,000, or .8%, for the
year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the year ended December 31, 1998. The
decrease was primarily due to a decline in the net interest margin from 4.4 %
for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 4.1% for the year ended December 31,
1999.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended
December 31, 1999 was $60,000 compared to $110,000 for the same period in 1998.
The provision and the related increase in the allowance for loan losses were
considered adequate, based on growth, size, condition and components of the loan
portfolio.
Other Income (Losses). Other income (losses) increased from losses of
$48,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to income of $139,000 for the
comparable period in 1999. This increase was in part due to $73,000 of gains on
sales of securities available for sale. Securities available for sale with a
cost of $523,000 were sold during the third quarter of 1999. In addition, equity
in losses of the limited partnership was down $77,000 from 1998 due to the
operating results of the limited partnership. The investment in the limited
partnership represents a 99% equity in Pedcor. In addition to recording the
equity in the losses of Pedcor, a benefit of low-income housing income tax
credits in the amount of $178,000 for both 1999 and 1998 was recorded.
Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits were $1.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $850,000 for the 1998
period, and increase of $219,000, or 25.8%. This increase was in part due to a
$114,000 increase in compensation expense related to the recognition and
retention compensation plan that became effective on June 30, 1998. The
remaining increase resulted from an increase in the number of full-time
equivalent employees and normal increases in employee compensation and related
payroll taxes.
Net Occupancy and Equipment Expenses. Occupancy expenses and equipment
expenses increased $7,000, or 10.4%, during 1999 compared to 1998.
Deposit Insurance Expense. Deposit insurance expense decreased $2,000, or
4.3%, from $46,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $44,000 for the same
period in 1999.
Legal and Professional Fees. Legal and professional fees were $127,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $128,000 for the 1998 period, a
decrease of $1,000.
Data Processing. Data processing expense increased from $77,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1998 to $122,000 for the comparable period in 1999, an
increase of $45,000. This increase was due to approximately $45,000 of
non-recurring expenses related to the Company's data processing conversion
during the first quarter of 1999.
Other Expense. Other expenses, consisting primarily of expenses related to
advertising, directors' fees, supervisory examination fees, supplies, and
postage increased $27,000, or 9.1% for 1999 compared to 1998. The increase
resulted from nominal increases in a variety of expense categories.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $91,000, or 8.3%, during
1999 compared to 1998. The effective tax rate was 33.7% and 35.7% for the
respective 1999 and 1998 periods.
Comparison of Operating Results For Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
General. Net income increased $776,000, or 64.8%, from $1.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997 to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31,
1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income which
was primarily attributable to the Company's stock issuance on December 29, 1997
which resulted in net proceeds to the Company in the amount of approximately
$27.8 million after costs and excluding the shares issued for the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan. The Company primarily used the proceeds of the stock offering to
invest in loans and short-term interest-bearing deposits and for the repayment
of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which resulted in increased net interest
income. The return on average assets was 1.82% and 1.38 % for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Interest Income. Our total interest income was $8.1 million for 1998
compared to $6.8 million for 1997. The increase in interest income was due
primarily to an increase in volume. Average earning assets increased $21.4
million, or 25.3%, from $84.8 million for 1997 compared to $106.2 million for
1998. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 8.0% for the
year ended December 31, 1997 to 7.6% for the comparable period in 1998.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $421,000, or 11.0%, for the
year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $6.8 million, or 9.7%, from $70.1
million for the 1997 period to $63.3 million during the 1998 period. Average
deposits increased by $787,000, or 1.3%, from $61.6 million for the 1997 period
to $62.4 million for the 1998 period. Average FHLB advances decreased $4.9
million, or 84.8%, from $5.8 million for the 1997 period to $873,000 during the
1998 period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.7 million, or 58.2%,
for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the year ended December 31,
1997. $1.9 million of the increase was primarily due to the increase in volume
of earning assets. The net yield of weighted average interest-earning assets was
4.4% for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to 3.5% for the comparable
1997 period.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended
December 31, 1998 was $110,000 compared to $165,000 for the same period in 1997.
The provision and the related increase in the allowance for loan losses were
considered adequate, based on growth, size, condition and components of the loan
portfolio.
Other Losses. Other losses decreased $48,000, or 50.0%, for the year ended
December 31, 1998 compared to the 1997 period primarily due to decreased losses
of $37,000 from Union Federal's investment in a low-income housing income tax
credit limited partnership. The investment in the limited partnership represents
a 99% equity in Pedcor. In addition to recording the equity in the losses of
Pedcor, a benefit of low-income housing income tax credits in the amount of
$178,000 for both 1998 and 1997 was recorded.
Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits were
$850,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to $480,000 for the 1997
period, an increase of $370,000, or 77.1%. This increase resulted primarily from
$263,000 of compensation expense related to the ESOP and the recognition and
retention compensation plan. The remaining increase resulted from an increase in
the number of full-time equivalent employees and normal increases in employee
compensation and related payroll taxes.
Net Occupancy and Equipment Expenses. Occupancy expenses and equipment
expenses increased $6,000, or 9.8%, during 1998 compared to 1997.
Deposit Insurance Expense. Deposit insurance expense increased $15,000, or
48.4%, from $31,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $46,000 for the same
period in 1998.
Legal and Professional Fees. Legal and professional fees were $128,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to $34,000 for the 1997 period, an
increase of $94,000. This increase was a result of the additional expenses
incurred as a public company.
Data Processing. Data processing expense increased $11,000, or 16.7%, from
$66,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $77,000 for the same period in
1999.
Other Expense. Other expenses, consisting primarily of expenses related to
service center fees, advertising, directors' fees, supervisory examination fees,
supplies, and postage increased $7,000, or 2.4% for 1998 compared to 1997. The
increase resulted from nominal increases in a variety of expense categories.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $549,000, or 100.7%,
during 1998 compared to 1997. The increase was directly related to the increase
in taxable income for the period. The effective tax rate was 35.7% and 31.2% for
the respective 1998 and 1997 periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following is a summary of the Company's 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 the Company experiences 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 year in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1999.

Federal law requires that savings associations maintain an average daily
balance of liquid assets in an amount not less than 4% or more than 10% of their
withdrawable accounts 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. The OTS recently amended its
regulation that implements this statutory liquidity requirement to reduce the
amount of liquid assets a savings association must hold from 5% of net
withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowings to 4%. The OTS also eliminated
the requirement that savings associations maintain short-term liquid assets
constituting at least 1% of their average daily balance of net withdrawable
deposit accounts and current borrowings. The revised OTS rule also permits
savings associations to calculate compliance with the liquidity requirement
based upon their average daily balance of liquid assets during each quarter
rather than during each month, as was required under the prior rule. The OTS may
impose monetary penalties on savings associations that fail to meet these
liquidity requirements. As of December 31, 1999, Union Federal had liquid assets
of $5.6 million, and a regulatory liquidity ratio of 6.5%.
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 December 31, 1999, Union Federal's capital levels exceeded all applicable
regulatory capital requirements currently in effect. The following table
provides the minimum regulatory capital requirements and Union Federal's capital
ratios as of December 31, 1999:

(2) The OTS adopted a core capital requirement for savings associations
comparable to that recently adopted by the OCC for national banks. The new
regulation, which became effective on April 1, 1999, requires at least 3%
of total adjusted assets for savings associations that receive the highest
supervisory rating for safety and soundness, and 4% to 5% for all other
savings associations. Union Federal is in compliance with the revised
regulation.
As of December 31, 1999, 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 Union
Federal's liquidity, capital resources 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.
The Company's primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As
a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's
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 the Company's 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 the Company has made. The Company is unable to determine the
extent, if any, to which properties securing its loans have appreciated in
dollar value due to inflation.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
An important component of Union Federal's asset/liability management
policy includes examining the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and
liabilities and monitoring the expected effects of interest rate changes on its
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 Union Federal's
assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than its
liabilities, Union Federal's 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 Union Federal's assets mature
or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, its 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.
Union Federal's 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 its earnings to material and prolonged changes in
interest rates.
Because of the lack of customer demand for adjustable rate loans in its
market area, Union Federal primarily originates fixed-rate real estate loans,
which accounted for approximately 79.7% of its loan portfolio at December 31,
1999. To manage the interest rate risk of this type of loan portfolio, Union
Federal limits maturities of fixed-rate loans to no more than 20 years. In
addition, Union Federal continues to offer and attempts to increase its volume
of adjustable rate loans when market interest rates make these type loans more
attractive to customers.
Management believes it is critical to manage the relationship between
interest rates and the effect on Union Federal's 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. Union
Federal manages assets and liabilities within the context of the marketplace,
regulatory limitations and within limits established by its Board of Directors
on the amount of change in NPV which is acceptable given certain interest rate
changes.
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 Union Federal
does not meet either of these requirements, it is not required to file Schedule
CMR, although it does 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.
It is estimated that at December 31, 1999, NPV would decrease 20% and
30% in the event of 200 and 300 basis point increases in market interest rates,
respectively, compared to 15% and 23% for the same increases at December 31,
1998. Union Federal's NPV at December 31, 1999 would increase 15% and 22% in the
event of 200 and 300 basis point decreases in market rates, respectively. A year
earlier, 200 and 300 basis point decreases in market rates would have increased
NPV 9% and 15%, respectively.
Presented below, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, is an analysis
performed by the OTS of Union Federal's 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 300 basis points. At December
31, 1999, 2% of the present value of Union Federal's assets was approximately
$2.4 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 $6.3 million at December 31, 1999, Union Federal would have been
required to deduct $2.0 million from its total capital available to calculate
its risk based capital requirement if it had been subject to the OTS' reporting
requirements under this methodology. Union Federal's exposure to interest rate
risk results from the concentration of fixed rate mortgage loans in its
portfolio.

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.

UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Note 1 -- Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Union Community Bancorp (Company) and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Union Federal Savings and Loan Association
(Association) and the Association's 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 Company is a thrift holding company whose principal activity is the
ownership and management of the Association. 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 and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
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
Company, the Association and UFS after elimination of all material intercompany
transactions.
Investment Securities--Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt
securities not classified as held to maturity and marketable equity securities
are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carried
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported separately in
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded as interest
income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security
gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the
specific-identification method.
<PAGE>
UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
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. Loans with payment 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.
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
December 31, 1999, 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.
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.
Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated
selling costs. When foreclosed assets are acquired, any required adjustment is
charged to the allowance for loan losses. All subsequent activity is included in
current operations.

UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Stock options are granted for a fixed number of shares to employees with an
exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The
Bank accounts for and will continue to account for stock option grants in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and, accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option
grants.
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 Company
files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.
Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average common
shares outstanding during each year. Unearned ESOP shares have been excluded
from the computation of average shares outstanding. Net income per share for the
periods before and including the conversion to a stock savings and loan
association on December 29, 1997, is not meaningful.
Note 2 -- Conversion
On December 29, 1997, the Association completed the conversion from a federally
chartered mutual institution to a federally chartered stock savings and loan
association and the formation of the Company as the holding company of the
Association. As part of the conversion, the Company issued 3,042,000 shares of
common stock at $10 per share. Net proceeds of the Company's stock issuance,
after costs of $780,000 and excluding the shares issued for the ESOP, were
$27,798,000, of which $14,861,000 was used to acquire 100% of the stock and
ownership of the Association. The transaction was accounted for at historical
cost in a manner similar to that utilized in a pooling of interests.

Retained earnings 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
including redemption of bank stock or excess dividends, 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.
Note 11 -- 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 as of
December 31 were as follows:
December 31 1999 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commitments to extend credit $3,762 $2,566
Standby letters of credit 3,215 2,514
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 Company and Association have entered into an employment agreement with the
president which provides for the continuation of salary and certain benefits for
a specified period of time under certain conditions. Under the terms of the
agreement, these payments could occur in the event of a change in control of the
Company, as defined, along with other specific conditions. The contingent
liability under the agreement in the event of a change in control is
approximately $300,000. The Company is not required to pay any amounts under
this agreement which cannot be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
The Company, 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 Company.

Note 12 -- Dividend and Capital Restrictions
Without prior approval, current regulations allow the Association to pay
dividends to the Company not exceeding retained net income for the current year
plus those for the previous two years. The Association normally restricts
dividends to a lesser amount because of the need to maintain an adequate capital
structure.
At the time of conversion, a liquidation account was established in an amount
equal to the Association's net worth as reflected in the latest statement of
condition used in its final conversion offering circular. The liquidation
account is maintained for the benefit of eligible deposit account holders who
maintain their deposit account in the Association after conversion. In the event
of a complete liquidation, and only in such event, each eligible deposit account
holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the
liquidation account in the amount of the then current adjusted subaccount
balance for deposit accounts then held, before any liquidation distribution may
be made to shareholders. Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of
dividends, the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or
application of net worth. The initial balance of the liquidation account was
$14,473,000.
At December 31, 1999, the shareholders' equity of the Association was
$32,532,000, of which approximately $4,018,000 was available for the payment of
dividends.
Note 13 -- Regulatory Capital
The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies and is assigned to a capital
category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios
that are calculated according to the regulations: total risk adjusted capital,
Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. The ratios are intended to measure
capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and
off-balance sheet exposures of the entity. The capital category assigned to an
entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies
about the risk inherent in the entity's activities that are not part of the
calculated ratios.
There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well
capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification of an association in
any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that
could have a material effect on an association's operations. At December 31,
1999 and 1998, the Association is categorized as well capitalized and meets all
subject capital adequacy requirements. There are no conditions or events since
December 31, 1999 that management believes have changed the Association's
classification.

Note 14 -- Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides pension benefits for substantially all of its employees,
and is a participant in a pension fund known as the Pentegra Group. This plan is
a multi-employer plan; separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect
to each participating employer. Pension expense (benefit) was $2,000, $2,000,
and $(4,000) for 1999, 1998, and 1997.
The Company has a retirement savings 401(k) plan in which substantially all
employees may participate. The Company matches employees' contributions at the
rate of 50% for the first 5% of base salary contributed by participants. The
Company's expense for the plan was $8,000, $10,000 and $11,000 for 1999, 1998,
and 1997.
<PAGE>
UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
As part of the conversion in 1997, the Company established an ESOP covering
substantially all employees of the Company and Association. The ESOP acquired
184,000 shares of the Company common stock at $10 per share in the conversion
with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, the $1,840,000 of
common stock acquired by the ESOP is shown as a reduction of shareholders'
equity. Unearned ESOP shares totaled 162,444 and 173,074 at December 31, 1999
and 1998 and had a fair value of $1,787,000 and $1,947,000 at December 31, 1999
and 1998. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is
repaid. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as dividends and charged to
retained earnings. Dividends on unallocated shares, which may be distributed to
participants or used to repay the loan, are treated as compensation expense.
Compensation expense is recorded equal to the fair market value of the stock
when contributions, which are determined annually by the Board of Directors of
the Association, are made to the ESOP. ESOP expense for the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998 was $122,000 and $149,000. There was no expense under the ESOP
for the year ended December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1999, the ESOP had 21,556
allocated shares, 162,444 suspense shares and no committed-be-be released
shares. At December 31, 1998, the ESOP had 10,926 allocated shares, 173,074
suspense shares and no committed-to-be released shares.
In connection with the conversion, the Board of Directors established a
Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust (RRP). The Bank contributed $1,753,853
to the RRP for the purchase of 121,670 shares of Company common stock, and
effective June 30, 1998, awards of grants for 78,900 of these shares were issued
to various directors, officers and employees of the Association. These awards
generally are to vest and be earned by the recipient at a rate of 20 percent per
year, commencing June 30, 1999. The unearned portion of these stock awards is
presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Expense under the plan for the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $227,000 and $114,000.
Note 15 -- Stock Option Plan
Under the Company's stock option plan (Plan), which is accounted for in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, the Company grants
selected executives and other key employees stock option awards which vest at a
rate of 20 percent per year. During 1998, the Company authorized the grant of
options for up to 304,175 shares of the Company's common stock. Effective June
30, 1998, the Company granted 186,000 of the options. The exercise price of each
option, which has a ten-year life, was equal to the market price of the
Company's stock on the date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense was
recognized.
Although the Company has elected to follow APB No. 25, SFAS No. 123 requires pro
forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under that Statement. No options were
granted in 1999. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant
date using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risk-free interest rates 5.5%
Dividend yields 2.7%
Volatility factors of expected market price of common stock 14.0%
Weighted-average expected life of the options 7 years
<PAGE>
UNION COMMUNITY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is recognized in the amount of the
estimated fair value of the options and amortized to expense over the options'
vesting period. The pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share of
this statement are as follows:

Note 16 -- Related Party Transactions
The Association has entered into transactions with certain directors, executive
officers, significant shareholders and their affiliates or associates (related
parties). 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

Note 18 -- 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

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
MARKET INFORMATION
The Association converted from a federal mutual savings and loan
association to a federal stock savings and loan associaiton effective December
29, 1997, and simultaneously formed a savings and loan holding company, the
Holding Company. The Holding Company's Common Stock, is traded on the NASDAQ
National Market System under the symbol "UCBC." As of February 21, 2000, there
were approximately 352 record holders of the Holding Company's Common Stock.
Any dividends paid by the Holding Company will be subject to
determination and declaration by the Board of Directors in its discretion. In
determining the level of any future dividends, the Board of Directors will
consider, among other factors, the following: tax considerations; industry
standards; economic conditions; capital levels; regulatory restrictions on
dividend payments by the Association to the Holding Company; and, general
business practices.
The Holding Company is not subject to OTS regulatory restrictions on
the payment of dividends to its shareholders although the source of such
dividends will depend in part upon the receipt of dividends from the
Association. Applicable law restricts the amount of dividends Union Federal may
pay to the Holding Company without obtaining the prior approval of the OTS to an
amount that does not exceed Union Federal's year-to-date net income plus its
retained net income for the preceding two years. 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 the Holding
Company's common stock.
In addition to the foregoing, the portion of the Association's earnings
which has been appropriated for bad debt reserves and deducted for federal
income tax purposes cannot be used by the Association to pay cash dividends to
the Holding Company without the payment of federal income taxes by the
Associaiton at the then current income tax rate on the amount deemed
distributed, which would include any federal income taxes attributable to the
distribution. The Holding Company does not contemplate any distribution by the
Assciation that would result in a recapture of the Association's bad debt
reserve or otherwise create federal tax liabilities.
