                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

United Community Financial Corp. (the "Holding Company") was incorporated under
Ohio law in February 1998 by The Home Savings & Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio
(the "Company") in connection with the planned conversion of the Company from an
Ohio mutual savings and loan association to an Ohio capital stock savings and
loan association, the issuance of the Company's stock to the Holding Company and
the offer and sale of the Holding Company's common stock by the Holding Company
(the "Conversion").  Upon consummation of the Conversion, the Holding Company
will become the unitary savings and loan holding company for the Company.  This
transaction received conditional regulatory approval on May 15, 1998.  For
purposes of this Form 10-Q, the financial statements and management's discussion
and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are presented for
the Company since the Holding Company was not active during any of the periods
presented.  No pro forma effect has been given to the planned sale of the
Holding Company's common stock in the Conversion.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Holding Company have
been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  However, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair
statement of results for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.  The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997, contained in the Holding Company's
prospectus dated May 15, 1998.

2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share have not been presented in the Consolidated Statements
of Income as United Community Financial Corp. is currently in the process of
completing the Conversion (as noted in footnote 1. above.)  Earnings per common
share will be presented from the effective date of the Conversion.

3.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", was issued in June 1997 and became effective on January 1, 1998.  This
statement requires companies to report all items that are recognized as
components of comprehensive income under accounting standards.  The Company's
comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are as
follows:

4.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accountings Standards (SFAS) No. 131,
"Disclosures about segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", on
January 1, 1998.  This statement provides accounting and reporting standards for
the way public enterprises are to report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to 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.  Management has
determined that adoption of SFAS No. 131 will not result in increased reporting
and disclosure requirements.

5.   SALE OF HELD TO MATURITY MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

In January 1998, the Company sold approximately $114,000 of mortgage-backed
securities held to maturity with outstanding balances less than 15% of the
principal outstanding at acquisition.  Approximately a $5,500 gain was recorded
on the sale.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1998 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997

     Total assets increased $4.4 million, or .4%, from December 31, 1997, to
March 31, 1998.  The primary reason for the increase was that loans increased
$2.0 million mostly due to increased loan originations.

     Total liabilities increased $1.7 million, or .2%, primarily as a result of
an increase in deposits of approximately $1.7 million.  The Company had no
borrowings at March 31, 1998.

     Total equity increased $2.7 million, or 2.0%, to $144.1 million at March
31, 1998, from $141.4 million at December 31, 1997, due to net income of $2.7
million.

     Nonaccrual and restructured loans decreased approximately $1.3 million to
$8.8 million at March 31, 1998, from $10.2 million at December 31, 1997.
Nonaccrual one- to four-family mortgage loans, construction loans and commercial
loans decreased $596,000, $317,000 and $268,000, respectively.  The reduction of
the one-to four -family loans was due to a number of loans becoming current on
their payments and not any one particular loan.  At March 31, 1998, total
nonaccrual and restructured loans accounted for 1.39% of net loans receivable,
compared to 1.60% at December 31, 1997.  Total non-performing assets were .84%
of total assets, a decrease of .14% from .98% at December 31, 1997.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND
MARCH 31, 1997

     NET INCOME.   Net income decreased $22,000, or .8%, to $2.701 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.723 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  The slight decrease was due to an increase in the
provision for loan loss allowances and an increase in the provision for income
taxes, which offset the increase in net interest income.

     NET INTEREST INCOME.   Net interest income increased $332,000, or 3.4%, for
the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997, primarily due
to a decrease in the cost of deposits.  Two main factors contributed to the
decrease in the cost of deposits.  The first was a decrease in the interest
rates of the savings, demand and checking accounts for the first quarter of 1998
versus 1997 due to the interest rate environment.  The second factor was a
decrease of certificates of deposits for first quarter 1998 versus 1997.

     PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.   The provision for loan loss allowances
increased $250,000 in the first quarter of 1998, as a result of an increase in
the total loan portfolio, particularly in commercial and consumer loans that
generally have greater inherent risk than residential first mortgage loans.
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had charge-offs of
$60,000 and recoveries of $4,000.  At March 31, 1998, the Company's allowance
for loan losses totaled $6.2 million, which was .96% of total loans.

     NONINTEREST INCOME.   Noninterest income increased $80,000, or 26.8%, to
$378,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, from $298,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase was primarily due to increases in
automated teller machine service charges and NOW non-sufficient funds fees.

     NONINTEREST EXPENSE.   Total noninterest expense increased $90,000, or
1.5%, for the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997,
primarily as a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits expenses.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.   The provision for federal income taxes has not 
changed significantly for the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first 
quarter of 1997.

The table below describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the
periods indicated.  For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to
(i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii)
changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii)
total changes in rate and volume.  The combined effects of changes in both
volume and rate, which cannot be separately identified, have been allocated in
proportion to the changes due to volume and rate:
