If there is a tender offer for United Community Bancorp common stock, the Plan provides that each participant will be allotted a number of tender instruction rights reflecting the participants proportionate interest in the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund. The percentage of shares of United Community Bancorp common stock held in the Stock Fund that will be tendered will be the same as the percentage of the total number of tender instruction rights that are exercised in favor of the tender offer.

United Community Bank intends for the Plan to comply, in form and in operation, with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA. United Community Bank may change the Plan from time to time in the future to ensure continued compliance with these laws. United Community Bank may also amend the Plan from time to time in the future to add, modify, or eliminate certain features of the plan, as it sees fit. As a plan governed by ERISA, federal law provides you with various rights and protections as a plan participant.

As of , 200 , of the employees at United Community Bank elected to participate in the Plan.
Contributions Under the 401(k) Plan
Plan Participant Contributions. Subject to certain Internal Revenue Code limitations, the 401(k) Plan permits each participant to contribute up to 100% of their annual compensation to the Plan (See Limitations on Contributions below.). [Participants may change their rate of contribution with respect to pre-tax deferrals upon providing thirty (30) days notice to the Bank.]
United Community Bank Contributions. The 401(k) Plan provides that United Community Bank may make matching contributions. United Community Bank currently matches 50% of each participants salary deferrals, up to a maximum of 10% of annual compensation. United Community Bank may also make discretionary contributions on behalf of Plan participants. Employer contributions (matching and discretionary) are allocated to each participant who has completed 500 hours of service during the Plan Year (i.e., the calendar year) and remains employed on the last day of the Plan Year (or who terminated employment during the Plan Year due to disability, retirement or death).
Limitations on Employee Salary Deferrals. Although the Plan permits you to defer up to 100% of your compensation, by law your total deferrals under the Plan, together with similar plans, may not exceed $15,000 for 2006. Employees who are age 50 and over may make additional catch-up contributions to the Plan, in amounts up to $5,000 for 2006. (The Internal Revenue Service will periodically increase these annual limitations.) Contributions in excess of these limitations, or excess deferrals, will be included in an affected participants gross income for federal income tax purposes in the year the contributions are made, provided they are distributed to the participant no later than the first April 15th following the close of the taxable year in which the excess deferrals were made. Excess deferrals distributed after that date will be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as earned and received by the participant in the taxable year of the distribution.
Limitations on Annual Additions and Benefits. Under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides that the total amount of contributions and forfeitures (annual additions) credited to a participant during any year under all defined contribution plans of United Community Bank (including the
4
401(k) Plan and the proposed United Community Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan) may not exceed the lesser of 100% of the participants compensation, or $42,000 for 2005 ($44,000 for 2006).
Limitations on Plan Contributions for Highly Compensated Employees. Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code limit the amount of salary deferrals and matching contributions that may be made to the 401(k) Plan in any year on behalf of highly compensated employees in relation to the amount of deferrals and matching contributions made by or on behalf of all other employees eligible to participate in the Plan. If contributions exceed these limitations, the Plan must adjust the contribution levels for highly compensated employees.
In general, a highly compensated employee includes any employee who (1) was a five percent owner of the sponsoring employer at any time during the year or preceding year, or (2) had compensation for the preceding year in excess of $100,000 and, if the sponsoring employer so elects, was in the top 20% of employees by compensation for such year. These dollar amounts may be adjusted periodically by the IRS.
Top-Heavy Plan Requirements. If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for any calendar year, United Community Bank may be required to make certain minimum contributions to the Plan on behalf of non-key employees. In general, the Plan will be treated as a Top-Heavy Plan for any calendar year if, as of the last day of the preceding calendar year, the aggregate balance of the accounts of participants who are Key Employees exceeds 60% of the aggregate balance of the accounts of all participants. A Key Employee generally includes any employee who, at any time during the calendar year or any of the four preceding years, is:
(1) | an officer of United Community Bank whose annual compensation exceeds $140,000; |
(2) | 5% owner, meaning an employee who owns more than 5% of the outstanding stock of United Community Bancorp, or who owns stock that possesses more than 5% of the total combined voting power of all stock of United Community Bancorp; or |
(3) | 1% owner, meaning an employee who owns more than 1% of the outstanding stock of United Community Bancorp or who owns stock that possesses more than 1% of the combined voting power of the total stock of United Community Bancorp and whose annual compensation exceeds $150,000. |
Investment of Contributions. Prior to 200 , contributions under the Plan were invested in the funds specified below. The annual percentage return on these funds (net of fees) for the prior three years was:

The 401(k) Plan now offers the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund as an additional choice to the investment alternatives described above. The Stock Fund invests primarily in the common stock of United Community Bancorp, Participants in the Plan may direct the trustee to invest all or a portion of their Plan account balances in United Community Bancorp common stock.
The United Community Bancorp Stock Fund consists of investments in the common stock of United Community Bancorp and cash. Each participants proportionate undivided beneficial interest in the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund is measured by units. The daily unit value is calculated by determining the market value of the common stock held and adding to that any cash held by the trustee. This total will be divided by the number of units outstanding to determine the unit value of the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund.
Upon payment of a cash dividend, the trustee will determine the unit value prior to distributing the dividend. The trustee may use the dividend to purchase shares of United Community Bancorp common stock. The trustee will, to the extent practicable, use amounts held in the Stock Fund to purchase shares of common stock. Pending investment in the common stock, assets held in the Stock Fund will be placed in bank deposits and other short-term investments.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, no shares of United Community Bancorp common stock have been issued or are outstanding and there is no established market for the United Community Bancorp common stock. Accordingly, there is no record of the historical performance of the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund. The performance of the Stock Fund will depend on a number of factors, including the financial condition and profitability of United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank and general market conditions for United Community Bancorp common stock.
6
Vesting. 401(k) Plan participants are 100% vested in their elective salary deferrals. Employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan vest 100% upon the completion of three years of service; participants are 0% vested prior to their completion of three years of service.
Withdrawals and Distributions From the Plan
Withdrawals Before Termination of Employment. You may receive in-service distributions from the 401(k) Plan under limited circumstances in the form of hardship distributions and loans. In order to qualify for a hardship withdrawal, you must have an immediate and substantial need to meet certain expenses and have no other reasonably available resources to meet the financial need. If you qualify for a hardship distribution, the Plan trustee will make the distribution proportionately from the investment funds in which you have invested your account balances. Participants and beneficiaries are also eligible for Plan loans, subject to the procedures and requirements established by the Plan Administrator. You may obtain additional information from at United Community Bank.
Distribution Upon Retirement or Disability. Upon retirement or disability, you may receive a full lump sum payment or installment payments from the 401(k) Plan equal to the value of your account. Distribution Upon Death. If you die before your benefits are paid from the 401(k) Plan, your benefits will be paid to your surviving spouse or beneficiary under one or more of the forms available under the Plan.
Distribution Upon Termination for Any Other Reason. If you terminate employment for any reason other than retirement, disability or death and your account balance exceeds [$1,000], the Plan trustee will make your distribution on your normal retirement date, unless you request otherwise. If your account balances do not exceed [$1,000], the trustee will generally distribute your benefits to you as soon as administratively practicable following termination of employment.
Distributions: Rollovers and Direct Transfers to Another Qualified Plan or to an IRA. You may roll over virtually all distributions from the 401(k) Plan to another qualified retirement plan or to an individual retirement account.
Nonalienation of Benefits. Except with respect to federal income tax withholding and as provided for under a qualified domestic relations order, benefits payable under the 401(k) Plan will not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, charge, garnishment, execution, or levy of any kind, either voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or otherwise dispose of any rights to benefits payable under the Plan will be void.
Applicable federal tax law requires the 401(k) Plan to impose substantial restrictions on your right to withdraw amounts held under the Plan before your termination of employment with United Community Bank. Federal law may also impose an excise tax on withdrawals from the Plan before you attain 59 1/2 years of age, regardless of whether the withdrawal occurs during your employment with United Community Bank or after your termination of employment.
7
Trustees. The trustee of the 401(k) Plan is the named fiduciary of the Plan for purposes of ERISA. The board of directors of United Community Bank has appointed William F. Ritzmann as trustee of the 401(k) Plan. The board of directors has also appointed a separate, independent trustee for the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund. MG Trust Company, LLC serves as Stock Fund trustee.
The Plan trustee receives, holds and invests the assets of the Plan (other than the Stock Fund) and distributes them to participants and beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Stock Fund trustee holds the assets of the Stock Fund and invests them in United Community Bancorp common stock on behalf of Plan participants.
United Community Bank, as Plan Administrator, will furnish you a statement at least quarterly showing the balance in your account as of the end of that period, the amount of contributions allocated to your account for that period, and any adjustments to your account to reflect earnings or losses.
The current Plan Administrator is United Community Bank. The Plan Administrator is responsible for the administration of the 401(k) Plan, interpretation of the provisions of the Plan, prescribing procedures for filing applications for benefits, preparation and distribution of information explaining the Plan, maintenance of records, books of account and all other data necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, preparation and filing of all returns and reports required to be filed with the U.S. Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service, and for all disclosures to participants, beneficiaries and others required under ERISA.
United Community Bank expects to continue the 401(k) Plan indefinitely. Nevertheless, United Community Bank may terminate the Plan at any time. If United Community Bank terminates the Plan in whole or in part, regardless of any contrary provisions of the Plan, all affected participants will become fully vested in their accounts. United Community Bank reserves the right to make, from time to time, changes which do not cause any part of the trust to be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of participants or their beneficiaries; provided, however, that United Community Bank may amend the plan as it determines necessary or desirable, with or without retroactive effect, to comply with ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.
Merger, Consolidation or Transfer
If the 401(k) Plan merges or consolidates with another plan or transfers the trust assets to another plan, and if either the Plan or the other plan is then terminated, you would receive a benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer that would be equal to or greater than the benefit you would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summarizes only briefly the material federal income tax aspects of the 401(k) Plan. You should not rely on this summary as a complete or definitive description of the material federal income tax consequences relating to the Plan. Statutory provisions change, as do their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. Finally, the consequences under applicable state and local income tax laws may not be the same as under the federal income tax laws. You should consult with your tax advisor with respect to any transaction involving the 401(k) Plan and any distribution from the Plan.
As a qualified retirement plan, the Internal Revenue Code affords the Plan tax advantages, including the following:
(1) The sponsoring employer is allowed an immediate tax deduction for the amount contributed to the Plan each year;
(2) Participants pay no current income tax on amounts contributed by the employer on their behalf; and
(3) Earnings of the plan are tax-deferred, thereby permitting the tax-free accumulation of income and gains on investments.
United Community Bank administers the Plan to comply with the operational requirements of the Internal Revenue Code as of the applicable effective date of any change in the law. If United Community Bank should receive an adverse determination letter regarding the Plans tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service, all participants would generally recognize income equal to their vested interest in the Plan, the participants would not be permitted to transfer amounts distributed from the Plan to an Individual Retirement Account or to another tax-qualified retirement plan, and United Community Bank would be denied certain deductions with respect to the Plan.
Lump Sum Distribution. A distribution from the 401(k) Plan to a participant or the beneficiary of a participant will qualify as a lump sum distribution if it is made within one taxable year, on account of the participants death, disability or separation from service, or after the participant attains age 59 1/2, and consists of the balance credited to the participant under the 401(k) Plan and all other profit sharing plans, if any, maintained by United Community Bank. The portion of any lump sum distribution included in taxable income for federal income tax purposes consists of the entire amount of the lump sum distribution, less the amount of after-tax contributions, if any, you have made to any other profit sharing plans maintained by United Community Bank, if the distribution includes those amounts.
United Community Bancorp Common Stock Included in Lump Sum Distribution. If a lump sum distribution includes United Community Bancorp common stock, the distribution generally is taxed in the manner described above. The total taxable amount is reduced, however, by the amount of any net unrealized appreciation with respect to United Community Bancorp common stock; that is, the excess of the value of United Community Bancorp common stock at the time of the distribution over its cost or other basis of the securities to the trust. The tax basis of United Community Bancorp common stock, for purposes of computing gain or loss on its subsequent sale, equals the value of United Community Bancorp common stock at the time of distribution, less the amount of net unrealized appreciation. Any gain on a

subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of United Community Bancorp common stock, to the extent of the amount of net unrealized appreciation at the time of distribution, is long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you hold the United Community Bancorp common stock, or the holding period. Any gain on a subsequent sale or other taxable disposition of United Community Bancorp common stock that exceeds the amount of net unrealized appreciation at the time of distribution is considered long-term capital gain, regardless of the holding period. The recipient of a distribution may elect to include the amount of any net unrealized appreciation in the total taxable amount of the distribution, to the extent allowed under IRS regulations.
We have provided you with a brief description of the material federal income tax aspects of the 401(k) Plan that are generally applicable under the Internal Revenue Code. We do not intend this to be a complete or definitive description of the federal income tax consequences of participating in or receiving distributions from the Plan. Accordingly, you should consult a tax advisor concerning the federal, state and local tax consequences of participating in and receiving distributions from the Plan.
Any affiliate of United Community Bancorp under Rules 144 and 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, who receives a distribution of common stock under the 401(k) Plan, may re-offer or resell such shares only under a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, assuming the availability of a registration statement, or under Rule 144 or some other exemption from the registration requirements. An affiliate of United Community Bank is someone who, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, United Community Bank. Generally, a director, principal officer or major shareholder of a corporation is deemed to be an affiliate of that corporation.
Any person who may be an affiliate of United Community Bank may wish to consult with counsel before transferring any common stock they own. In addition, participants should consult with counsel regarding the applicability to them of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which may restrict the sale of United Community Bancorp common stock acquired under the 401(k) Plan or other sales of United Community Bancorp common stock.
Persons who are not deemed to be affiliates of United Community Bank at the time of resale may resell freely any shares of United Community Bancorp common stock distributed to them under the 401(k) Plan, either publicly or privately, without regard to the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or compliance with the restrictions and conditions contained in the exemptions available under federal law. A person deemed an affiliate of United Community Bank at the time of a proposed resale may publicly resell common stock only under a re-offer prospectus or in accordance with the restrictions and conditions contained in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or some other exemption from registration, and may not use this prospectus in connection with any such resale. In general, Rule 144 restricts the amount of common stock which an affiliate may publicly resell in any three-month period to the greater of one percent of United Community Bancorp common stock then outstanding or the average weekly trading volume reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market during the four calendar weeks before the sale. Affiliates may sell only through brokers without solicitation and only at a time when United Community Bancorp is current in filing all required reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

SEC Reporting and Short-Swing Profit Liability
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, imposes reporting and liability requirements on officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of public companies such as United Community Bancorp. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the filing of reports of beneficial ownership. Within ten days of becoming a person required to file reports under Section 16(a), a Form 3 reporting initial beneficial ownership must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reporting persons must also report certain changes in beneficial ownership involving allocation or reallocation of assets held in their Plan accounts, either on a Form 4 within two days after a transaction, or annually on a Form 5 within 45 days after the close of a companys fiscal year.
In addition to the reporting requirements described above, Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides for the recovery by United Community Bancorp of profits realized from the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the common stock within any six-month period by any officer, director or any person who beneficially owns more than ten percent of the common stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that exempt many transactions involving the 401(k) Plan from the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b). The exemptions generally involve restrictions upon the timing of elections to buy or sell employer securities for the accounts of any officer, director or other person who beneficially owns more than ten percent of the common stock.
Except for distributions of the common stock due to death, disability, retirement, termination of employment or under a qualified domestic relations order, persons who are governed by Section 16(b) may be required, under limited circumstances involving the purchase of common stock within six months of a distribution, to hold shares of the common stock distributed from the Plan for six months after the distribution date.
The validity of the issuance of the common stock of United Community Bancorp will be passed upon by Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP, Washington, D.C. Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP acted as special counsel for United Community Bank in connection with the reorganization and stock offering of United Community Bank.

The Companies
United Community MHC 92 Walnut Street Lawrenceburg, Indiana 47025 (812) 537-4822 |
United Community MHC is a federally chartered mutual holding company that we are forming to own 55.0% of the common stock of United Community Bancorp. As a savings and loan holding company, United Community MHC will be examined by, and must comply with the rules and regulations of, the Office of Thrift Supervision. As a mutual holding company, United Community MHC will be a non-stock company whose members are the depositors of United Community Bank. Under federal regulations, so long as United Community MHC exists, it will own a majority of the voting stock of United Community Bancorp, and through its board of directors, will be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders. The same persons who will comprise the board of directors of United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank will also comprise the board of directors of United Community MHC. United Community MHC is not currently an operating company and has not engaged in any business to date. United Community MHC will be formed upon completion of the reorganization. We do not expect that United Community MHC will engage in any business activity other than owning a majority of the common stock of United Community Bancorp. | |
United Community Bancorp 92 Walnut Street Lawrenceburg, Indiana 47025 (812) 537-4822 |

After the reorganization, United Community Bancorp will own all of United Community Banks capital stock and will direct, plan and coordinate United Community Banks business activities.

United Community Bank 92 Walnut Street Lawrenceburg, Indiana 47025 (812) 537-4822 |
United Community Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial services needs of consumers and businesses within its market area. United Community Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, its deposit insurer. We attract deposits from the general public and local municipalities and use such funds to originate primarily one- to four-family residential real estate loans. To a lesser but growing extent, we originate multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. |

At September 30, 2005, we operated out of our main office and three branch offices in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and a temporary office in Aurora, Indiana, pending construction of a permanent facility. At September 30, 2005, we had total assets of $321.3 million, deposits of $289.1 million and total equity of $29.8 million. | ||
Our Operating Strategy (page ) | Our mission is to operate and grow a profitable community-oriented and independent financial institution serving primarily retail customers and small businesses in our market area. After the reorganization, we plan to continue our strategy of:
offering a full range of financial services to retail customers and businesses in our market area;
expanding our branch network into new market areas;
increasing deposits by continuing to offer exceptional customer service and emphasizing our commercial deposit offerings;
managing our net interest margin and net interest spread by seeking to increase lending levels and by originating higher-yielding loans;
pursuing
opportunities to increase commercial and multi-family lending in our primary market area;
applying disciplined underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan portfolio; and
managing our investment and borrowings portfolios to manage interest rate risk.
Opening new branch offices is an integral part of our growth strategy. In August 2005, we opened a branch office in a temporary facility in Aurora, Indiana. We are in the process of building a permanent full-service facility for the Aurora branch which we anticipate will be completed in June 2006. In addition, we have acquired property and intend to build and open a full-service branch office in both St. Leon, Indiana, and Milan, Indiana. Aurora and St. Leon are located in Dearborn County, Indiana. Milan is located in adjacent Ripley County.
We consider our primary market area to be Dearborn County and the surrounding Indiana counties, as well as the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area and Northern Kentucky. |

The Reorganization
Description of the Reorganization (page ____) |
Currently, we are a federally chartered mutual savings bank with no stockholders. Our depositors currently have the right to vote on certain matters such as the election of directors and this reorganization.
The mutual holding company reorganization process that we are now undertaking involves a series of transactions by which we will convert our organization from the mutual form of organization to the mutual holding company form of organization. In the mutual holding company structure, United Community Bank will become a federally chartered stock savings bank to be named United Community Bank and all of its stock will be owned by United Community Bancorp. In addition, 43.1% of United Community Bancorps stock will be owned by the public, including our employee stock ownership plan, 1.9% of United Community Bancorps stock will be owned by United Community Bank Charitable Foundation and 55.0% of United Community Bancorps stock will be owned by United Community MHC. Our depositors will become members of United Community MHC and will have similar voting rights in United Community MHC as they currently have in United Community Bank.
After the reorganization, our ownership structure will be as follows:
Our normal business operations will continue without interruption during the reorganization. The same directors who adopted the plan of reorganization and stock issuance and who continue to be directors of United Community Bank at the time of the reorganization will serve as directors of United Community MHC, United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank after the reorganization. The initial officers of United Community MHC, United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank will be persons who are currently officers of United Community Bank. |

The Offering
Purchase Price |
The purchase price is $10.00 per share. | |
Number of Shares to be Sold | We are offering for sale between 2,344,640 and 3,172,160 shares of United Community Bancorp common stock in this reorganization to persons other than United Community MHC and the charitable foundation. With regulatory approval, we may increase the number of shares to be sold to 3,647,984 shares without giving you further notice or the opportunity to change or cancel your order. The Office of Thrift Supervision will consider the level of subscriptions, the views of our independent appraiser, our financial condition and results of operations and changes in market conditions in connection with a request to increase the offering size. | |
How We Determined the Offering Range (page ) |
We decided to offer between 2,344,640 and 3,172,160 shares, which is our offering range, based on an independent appraisal of our pro forma market value prepared by Keller & Company, Inc., an appraisal firm experienced in appraisals of financial institutions. Keller & Company will receive fees totaling $37,000 for its appraisal services, plus $1,000 for each appraisal valuation update and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. Keller & Company estimates that as of November 14, 2005, our pro forma market value on a fully converted basis was between $54.4 million and $73.6 million, with a midpoint of $64.0 million. The term fully converted means that Keller & Company assumed that 100.0% of our common stock had been sold to the public or contributed to the charitable foundation, rather than the 45.0% that will be sold or contributed in connection with this offering.
In preparing its appraisal, Keller & Company considered the information in this prospectus, including our financial statements. Keller & Company also considered the following factors, among others:
our historical, present and projected operating results and financial condition and the economic and demographic characteristics of our market areas;
a comparative evaluation of the operating and financial statistics of United Community Bank with those of other similarly-situated, publicly-traded savings associations and savings association holding companies;
the effect of the capital raised in this offering on our net worth and earnings potential;
the trading market for securities of comparable institutions and general conditions in the market for such securities; and
our intention to make a contribution to the United Community Bank Charitable Foundation of 1.9% of United Community Bancorps common stock and $250,000 in cash. |
4
Our board of directors determined that the common stock should be sold at $10.00 per share and that 43.1% of the shares of our common stock should be offered for sale to the public in the offering. The following table shows the number of shares that will be sold in the offering, issued to United Community MHC and contributed to the charitable foundation, based on the estimated valuation range and the purchase price.

Two measures that some investors use to analyze whether a stock might be a good investment are the ratio of the offering price to the issuers tangible book value and the ratio of the offering price to the issuers annual core earnings. Keller & Company considered these ratios in preparing its appraisal, among other factors. Tangible book value is the same as total equity, less intangibles, and represents the difference between the issuers tangible assets and liabilities. Core earnings, for purposes of the appraisal, is defined as net earnings after taxes, plus non-recurring expenses and minus non- recurring income, adjusted for income taxes in each case. Keller & Companys appraisal also incorporates an analysis of a peer group of publicly traded fully converted savings associations and fully converted savings association holding companies that Keller & Company considered as comparable to us.
The following table presents a summary of selected pricing ratios for the peer group companies and the pricing ratios for us, utilized by Keller & Company in its appraisal. The ratios are presented on a fully-converted basis. Our ratios are based on core earnings for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 and tangible book value as of September 30, 2005.

basis and a discount of 35.17% to the peer group on a price-to- tangible book basis. This means that, at the maximum of the offering range, a share of our common stock would be more expensive than the peer group on a core earnings per share basis and less expensive than the peer group on a tangible book value per share basis.
The independent appraisal does not indicate market value. You should not assume or expect that the valuation described above means that our common stock will trade at or above the $10.00 purchase price after the reorganization.

In addition, the effect of stock repurchases also affects the ratios to a greater or lesser degree depending upon repurchase activity. |

Possible Change in Offering Range (page ) |
Keller & Company will update its appraisal before we complete the stock offering. If, as a result of regulatory considerations, demand for the shares or changes in market conditions, Keller & Company determines that our pro forma market value has increased, we may sell up to 3,647,984 shares without further notice to you. If the pro forma market value of the common stock to be sold in the offering at the time the appraisal is updated is either below $2,344,640 or above $3,647,984, then, after consulting with the Office of Thrift Supervision, we may either: terminate the stock offering and promptly return all funds; promptly return all funds, set a new offering range and give all subscribers the opportunity to place a new order for shares of United Community Bancorp common stock; or take such other actions as may be permitted by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Securities and Exchange Commission. | |||||
Possible Termination of the Offering |
We must sell a minimum of 2,344,640 shares to complete the |
6
offering. If we do not sell the minimum number of shares, or if we terminate the offering for any other reason, we will promptly return all funds with interest at our current statement savings rate. | ||
Conditions to Completing the Reorganization |
We are conducting the reorganization under the terms of our plan of reorganization and stock issuance. We cannot complete the reorganization and related offering unless:
the plan of reorganization and stock issuance is approved by at least a majority of votes eligible to be cast by members of United Community Bank (depositors of United Community Bank);
we sell at least the minimum number of shares offered; and
we receive the final approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision to complete the reorganization and offering. | |
Reasons for the Reorganization (page ) |
Our primary reasons for the reorganization are to:
increase the capital of United Community Bank;
support future lending and operational growth;
support future branching activities and/or the acquisition of other financial institutions or financial services companies or their assets; and
enhance our ability to attract and retain qualified directors and management through stock-based compensation plans.
While we exceed all of our regulatory capital requirements and are considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes, our core capital level of $29.5 million, or 9.2% of adjusted total assets, at September 30, 2005 restricts our ability both to grow and continue to maintain our well capitalized status. Accordingly, we require additional capital in order to increase our lending activities and expand our operations.
As discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperating Strategy, we have branch expansion plans that are already underway. The new branches have been and are expected to continue to be funded by cash generated by our business and we do not expect to borrow funds for these expansion plans. Funding for these branches is also not contingent on this offering. Although we are interested in establishing branches in addition to branch expansion plans that are already underway, we do not have any additional specific plans or arrangements for further expansion. We do not now have any specific acquisition plans.
We chose to conduct a mutual holding company reorganization and minority stock offering rather than a full mutual-to-stock conversion because it permits us, by issuing less than 50.0% of our common stock to the public, to control the amount of capital being raised, |
7
which will enable us to deploy the proceeds of the offering more prudently and to provide for the control of United Community Bancorp by United Community MHC through its majority ownership position. We chose to sell 43.1% of our shares to the public, rather than a smaller portion, because we believe that we will be able to deploy the capital raised through an offering of this size.
We also will be able to increase our philanthropic endeavors to the communities we serve through the formation and funding of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. | ||
We Will Form the United Community Bank Charitable Foundation (page ) |
To continue our long-standing commitment to our local communities, we intend to establish a charitable foundation, named the United Community Bank Charitable Foundation, as part of the reorganization. Subject to separate approval by at least a majority of votes eligible to be cast by members of United Community Bank, the charitable foundation will be funded with a number of shares of United Community Bancorp common stock that will result in the charitable foundation owning 1.9% of our outstanding shares and $250,000 in cash. At the midpoint of the offering range, we would contribute 121,600 shares of United Community Bancorp common stock. At the midpoint of the offering range, our contribution to the charitable foundation would reduce net earnings by $968,000, after tax, in the year in which the charitable foundation is established, which is expected to be fiscal 2006. United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will make grants and donations to non-profit and community groups and projects located within our market areas. The amount of common stock that we would offer for sale would be greater if the reorganization were to be completed without the formation of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. For a further discussion of the financial impact of the charitable foundation, including its effect on those who purchase shares in the offering and on the shares issued to stockholders of United Community Bancorp, see Comparison of Independent Valuation and Pro Forma Financial Information With and Without the Foundation. | |
Benefits of the Reorganization to Management (page ) |
We intend to adopt the following benefit plans and employment agreements:
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. We intend to establish an employee stock ownership plan that will provide retirement benefits to our employees. The plan will purchase 3.92% of the shares issued in the reorganization, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation, with the proceeds of a loan from United Community Bancorp. As the loan is repaid and shares are released from collateral, the shares will be allocated to the accounts of participants based on a participants compensation as a percentage of total plan compensation. Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the employee stock ownership plan. We will incur additional compensation expense as a result of this plan. See Pro Forma Data for an illustration of the effects of this plan. |
8
Equity Incentive Plan. We intend to implement an equity- based incentive plan no earlier than six months after the reorganization. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the plan must be approved by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by our stockholders, other than United Community MHC, unless we obtain a waiver that allows approval by a majority of votes cast, other than by United Community MHC. Under this plan, we may award stock options and shares of restricted stock to employees and directors. Shares of restricted stock will be awarded at no cost to the recipient. Stock options will be granted at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the option grant date. We will incur additional compensation expense as a result of this plan. See Pro Forma Data for an illustration of the effects of this plan. Under this plan, we may grant stock options in an amount up to 4.9% of the number of shares issued in the offering, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to the charitable foundation, and restricted stock awards in an amount equal to 1.96% of the shares issued in the offering, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to the charitable foundation. The equity incentive plan will comply with all applicable Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.
The following table presents the total value of all shares to be available for restricted stock awards under the equity incentive plan, based on a range of market prices from $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share. Ultimately, the value of the grants will depend on the actual trading price of our common stock, which depends on numerous factors.

Employment Agreements. United Community Bancorp intends to enter into three-year employment agreements with William F. Ritzmann, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Elmer G. McLaughlin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. United Community Bancorp also intends to enter into a two-year employment agreement with Vicki A. March, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. These agreements will provide for severance benefits if the executives are terminated following a change in control of United Community Bancorp or United Community Bank. Based solely on cash compensation earned for the year ended June 30, 2005 and excluding any benefits that would be payable under any employee benefit plan, if a change in control of United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank occurred, and we terminated these officers, the total payments due under the employment agreements would equal approximately $1.41 million.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. This plan will provide benefits to eligible employees if their retirement benefits under the employee stock ownership plan and the 401(k) plan are reduced because of federal tax law limitations. The plan will also provide benefits to eligible employees if they retire or are terminated following a change in control but before the complete allocation of shares under the employee stock ownership plan.
Employee Severance Compensation Plan. This plan will provide severance benefits to eligible employees if there is a change in control. Based solely on compensation levels as of December 31, 2004 and years of service at September 30, 2005, if a change in control of United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank occurred, and we terminated all employees covered by the severance compensation plan, the total payment due under the plan would equal approximately $1.45 million.
The following table summarizes, at the maximum of the offering range, the total number and value of the shares of common stock that the employee stock ownership plan expects to acquire and the total value of all restricted stock awards that are expected to be available under the equity incentive plan.

Tax Consequences (page ) | As a general matter, the reorganization will not be a taxable transaction for purposes of federal or state income taxes to us or persons who receive or exercise subscription rights. Our special counsel, Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP, has issued a federal tax opinion to us that, among other items, provides:
the reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization and no gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the reorganization;
no gain or loss will be recognized by our account holders upon the issuance to them of deposit accounts in United Community Bank immediately after the reorganization;
it is more likely than not that the fair market value of the rights to subscribe for shares of our common stock is zero and, accordingly, that no income will be realized by our members upon the issuance or exercise of the subscription rights;
it is more likely than not that the tax basis to the purchasers in the offering will be the amount paid for our common stock, and that the holding period for shares of common stock will begin on the date of completion of the offering; and
the holding period for shares of common stock purchased in the community offering or syndicated community offering will begin on the day after the date of the purchase.
We have also received an opinion from Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co. stating that, assuming the reorganization does not result in any federal income tax liability to us or our account holders, |
11
implementation of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance will not result in any Indiana income tax liability to those entities or persons. See The Reorganization and Stock OfferingMaterial Income Tax Consequences. | ||
Persons Who Can Order Stock in the Offering (page )
Note: Subscription rights are not transferable, and persons with subscription rights may not subscribe for shares for the benefit of any other person. If you violate this prohibition, you may lose your rights to purchase shares and may face criminal prosecution and/or other sanctions. |
We have granted rights to subscribe for shares of our common stock in a subscription offering to the following persons in the following order of priority:
1. Persons with $50 or more on deposit at United Community Bank as of August 31, 2004.
2. Our employee stock ownership plan.
3. Persons with $50 or more on deposit at United Community Bank as of December 31, 2005.
4. United Community Banks depositors as of , 2006 who were not able to subscribe for shares under categories 1 and 3.
If we receive subscriptions for more shares than are to be sold in this offering, we may be unable to fill or may only partially fill your order. Shares will be allocated in order of the priorities described above under a formula outlined in the plan of reorganization and stock issuance. If we increase the number of shares to be sold above 3,172,640, our employee stock ownership plan will have the first priority right to purchase any shares exceeding that amount to the extent that its subscription has not previously been filled. Any shares remaining will be allocated in the order of priorities described above. See The Reorganization and Stock OfferingSubscription Offering and Subscription Rights for a description of the allocation procedure.
We may offer shares not sold in the subscription offering to the general public in a community offering or through a syndicate of broker-dealers. People and trusts for the benefit of people who are residents of Dearborn County, Indiana will have first preference to purchase shares in the community offering. The community offering and syndicated community offering, if held, may begin at any time during or immediately following the subscription offering. | |
Subscription Rights Are Not Transferable |
You are not allowed to transfer your subscription rights and we will act to ensure that you do not do so. 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 accept any stock orders that we believe involve the transfer of subscription rights. Eligible depositors who enter into agreements to allow ineligible investors to participate in the subscription offering may be violating federal law and may be subject to civil enforcement actions or criminal prosecution. | |
Deadline for Ordering Stock (page ) |
The subscription offering will end at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on [Expiration Date]. We expect that the community offering will terminate at the same time, although it may continue for up to 45 |
12
days after the end of the subscription offering, or longer if regulators approve a later date. No single extension may be for more than 90 days. If we extend the offering beyond [Extension Date #1] or if we intend to sell fewer than 2,344,640 shares or more than 3,172,160, all subscribers will be notified and given the opportunity to confirm, change or cancel their orders. If you do not respond to this notice, we will return your funds promptly, in full and with interest, at our statement savings rate. | ||
Purchase Limitations (page ) | Our plan of reorganization and stock issuance establishes limitations on the purchase of stock in the offering. These limitations include the following:
The minimum purchase is 25 shares.
No individual (or individuals on a single deposit account) may purchase more than $150,000 of common stock (which equals 15,000 shares) in the subscription offering.
No individual, no individual together with any associates, and no group of persons acting in concert may purchase more than $650,000 of common stock (which equals 65,000 shares) in the offering.
Subject to the Office of Thrift Supervisions approval, we may increase or decrease the purchase and ownership limitations at any time. | |
How to Purchase Common Stock (page ) |
If you want to place an order for shares in the offering, you must complete an original stock order and certification form and send it to us, together with full payment. You must sign the certification that is on the reverse side of the stock order and certification form. We must receive your stock order and certification form before the end of the subscription offering or the end of the community offering, as appropriate. Once we receive your order, you cannot cancel or change it without our consent.
To ensure that we properly identify your subscription rights, you must list all of your deposit accounts as of the eligibility dates on the stock order and certification form. If you fail to do so, your subscription may be reduced or rejected if the offering is oversubscribed. To preserve your purchase priority, you must register the shares only in the name or names of eligible purchasers at the applicable date of eligibility. You may not add the names of others who were not eligible to purchase common stock in the offering on the applicable date of eligibility.
We may, in our sole discretion, reject orders received in the community offering either in whole or in part. For example, we may reject an order submitted by a person who we believe is making false representations or who we believe is attempting to violate, evade or circumvent the terms and conditions of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance. If your order is rejected in part, you cannot cancel the remainder of your order.
You may pay for shares in the subscription offering or the community offering in any of the following ways: |
13
By check or money order made payable to United Community Bancorp.
By authorizing a withdrawal from an account at United Community Bank. To use funds in an existing Individual Retirement Account at United Community Bank, you must transfer your account to an unaffiliated institution or broker, and open a self-directed Individual Retirement Account. Individual Retirement Accounts at United Community Bank are not self-directed and common stock may only be purchased using a self-directed Individual Retirement Account. Please contact your broker or financial institution as quickly as possible to see if you may transfer your Individual Retirement Account from United Community Bank because completing the transfer may take several days.
We will pay interest on your subscription funds at the rate we pay on statement savings accounts, which is currently %, from the date we receive your funds until the reorganization is completed or terminated. All funds authorized for withdrawal from deposit accounts with us will earn interest at the applicable account rate until the offering is completed or terminated. If, as a result of a withdrawal from a certificate of deposit, the balance falls below the minimum balance requirement, the remaining funds will earn interest at our statement savings rate. There will be no early withdrawal penalty for withdrawals from certificates of deposit used to pay for common stock. | ||||||

United Community Bank may use the portion of the proceeds that it receives to fund new loans, open new branches, invest in securities and expand its business activities. |
14
Purchases by Directors and Executive Officers (page ) |
We expect that our directors and executive officers, together with their associates, will subscribe for 482,500 shares, which equals 15.2% of the shares offered for sale at the maximum of the offering range. Directors and executive officers will pay the same $10.00 per share price as everyone else who purchases shares in the offering. Like all of our depositors, our directors and executive officers have subscription rights based on their deposits and, in the event of an oversubscription, their orders will be subject to the allocation provisions set forth in our plan of reorganization and stock issuance. Purchases by our directors and executive officers will count towards the minimum number of shares we must sell to close the offering. | |
Market for United Community Bancorp Common Stock (page ) |
We intend to have our common stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. currently intends to become a market maker in the common stock, but is under no obligation to do so. We cannot assure you that other market makers will be obtained or that an active and liquid trading market for our common stock will develop or, if developed, will be maintained. After shares of the common stock begin trading, you may contact a stock broker to buy or sell shares. | |
United Community Bancorps Dividend Policy (page ) |
We have not yet determined whether we will pay a dividend on the common stock. After the reorganization, we will consider a policy of paying regular cash dividends. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on a number of factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations and our operating results and financial condition. We anticipate that United Community MHC will waive receipt of any dividends that we may pay. | |
Possible Conversion of United Community MHC to Stock Form (page ) |
In the future, we may undertake a transaction commonly known as a second-step conversion in which we would sell to the public the shares held by United Community MHC. In a second-step conversion, members of United Community MHC would have subscription rights to purchase common stock of United Community Bancorp or its successor, and the public stockholders of United Community Bancorp would be entitled to exchange their shares of common stock for an equal percentage of shares of the new holding company. This percentage may be adjusted to reflect any assets owned by United Community MHC. United Community Bancorps public stockholders, therefore, would own approximately the same percentage of the resulting entity as they owned before the second- step conversion. Any second-step conversion would require the approval of the stockholders of United Community Bancorp, other than United Community MHC, and the members of United Community MHC. The board of directors has no current plan to undertake a second-step conversion transaction. | |
Stock Information Center | If you have any questions regarding the offering or our reorganization, please call the stock information center at ( ) .
The stock information center is open Monday through Friday, except bank holidays, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time.
To ensure that each purchaser in the subscription and community offering receives a prospectus at least 48 hours before the |
15
expiration date of the subscription and community offering in accordance with federal law, no prospectus will be mailed any later than five days before the expiration date, sent via overnight delivery any later than three days before the expiration date or hand delivered any later than two days before the expiration date. Order forms will be distributed only when preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. |

You should consider carefully the following risk factors before purchasing United Community Bancorp
common stock.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our primary market area depends substantially on the gaming industry, and a downturn in that
industry could hurt our business and our prospects.
Our business is concentrated in the Lawrenceburg, Indiana area. Lawrenceburg is the site of a riverboat
casino that opened in 1996. The economy of the Lawrenceburg metropolitan area significantly depends on services
and industries related to gaming and tourism. Any event that negatively and materially impacts the gaming and
tourism industry will adversely impact the Lawrenceburg economy.
Gaming revenue is vulnerable to fluctuations in the national economy. A prolonged downturn in the
national economy could have a significant adverse effect on the economy of the Lawrenceburg area. Virtually any
development or event that could dissuade travel or spending related to gaming and tourism, whether inside or
outside of Lawrenceburg, could adversely affect the Lawrenceburg economy. Consequently, the Lawrenceburg
economy is more susceptible than the economies of other cities to issues such as higher gasoline and other fuel
prices, unemployment levels, recession, rising interest rates, and other economic conditions, whether domestic or
foreign.
A deterioration in economic conditions generally, and a slowdown in gaming and tourism activities in
particular, could result in the following consequences, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects and expose us to a greater risk of loss:
| Loan delinquencies may increase; |
| Problem assets and foreclosures may increase; |
| Demand for our products and services may decline; and |
| Collateral for loans made by us may decline in value, reducing the amount of money that our |
customers may borrow against the collateral, and reducing the value of assets and collateral |
associated with our loans. |
An expansion of permissible gaming activities in other states, particularly in Kentucky and/or
Ohio, may lead to a decline in gaming revenue in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, which could hurt our
business and our prospects.
Lawrenceburg, Indiana competes with other areas of the country for gaming revenue, and it is possible
that the expansion of gaming operations in other states, as a result of changes in laws or otherwise, could
significantly reduce gaming revenue in the Lawrenceburg area. This is particularly true of gaming operations in
Kentucky and/or Ohio, states from which Lawrenceburg generally draws substantial year-round clientele.
Kentucky and/or Ohio legislative proposals could permit gaming activities. The establishment of casino gaming in
Kentucky and/or Ohio, or other states, could have a substantial adverse effect on gaming revenue in Lawrenceburg
which would adversely affect the Lawrenceburg economy and our business.
17
We rely heavily on municipal deposits as a source of funds and a reduced level of those deposits
may hurt our profits.
Historically, municipal deposits, consisting primarily of tax revenues from the local river boat casino
operations, have been a significant source of funds for our lending and investment activities. At September 30,
2005, $139.2 million, or 48.1% of our total deposits, consisted of municipal deposits. Municipal deposits are
generally short-term deposits and are generally considered rate-sensitive instruments. Consequently, if our
municipal deposits decrease to a level where we would need to resort to other sources of funds for our lending and
investment activities, such as borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, the interest expense
associated with these other funding sources may be higher than the rates we pay on the municipal deposits, which
would also hurt our profits.
Rising interest rates may hurt our earnings and asset value.
Interest rates have recently been at historically low levels. However, since June 30, 2004, the U.S. Federal
Reserve has increased its target for the federal funds rate 12 times, from 1.0% to 4.0%. While these short-term
market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our deposits) have increased, longer-term market interest
rates (which we use as a guide to price our longer-term loans) have not. This flattening of the market yield curve
has had a negative impact on our interest rate spread and net interest margin, and if short-term interest rates
continue to rise, and if rates on our deposits and borrowings continue to reprice upwards faster than the rates on
our long-term loans and investments, we would continue to experience compression of our interest rate spread and
net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on our profitability.
Changes in interest rates also affect the value of our interest-earning assets, and in particular our
securities portfolio. Generally, the value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates.
Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of equity, net of
tax. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale resulting from increases in interest rates could have
an adverse effect on stockholders equity. In addition, we invest in callable securities that expose us to
reinvestment risk, particularly during periods of rising market interest rates when issuers of callable securities tend
to call or redeem their securities. Reinvestment risk is the risk that we may have to reinvest the proceeds from
called securities at lower rates of return than the rates earned on the called securities. For further discussion of
how changes in interest rates could impact us, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Operations Risk ManagementInterest Rate Risk Management.
Our increased emphasis on multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate and land
lending may expose us to increased lending risks.
At September 30, 2005, $72.5 million, or 34.5%, of our loan portfolio consisted of multi-family
residential and nonresidential real estate and land loans. We have grown our loan portfolio in recent years,
particularly with respect to multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate and land loans and intend to
continue to emphasize these types of lending. These types of loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-
payment and loss than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends
on the successful operation of the property and the income stream of the borrowers. Such loans typically involve
larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans. In addition, since such loans generally entail greater credit risk than one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans, we may need to increase our allowance for loan losses in the future to account for the
likely increase in probable incurred credit losses associated with the growth of such loans. Also, many of our
multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate and land borrowers have more than one loan outstanding
with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to
a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family
residential mortgage loan. At September 30, 2005, our largest multi-family residential and nonresidential real
estate and land lending relationship was a $4.3 million commercial real estate loan relationship. This loan
18
relationship was within our maximum lending limit to one borrower at September 30, 2005. See Our
BusinessLending ActivitiesLoans to One Borrower.
If we do not achieve profitability on new branches, the new branches may hurt our earnings.
We cannot assure you that our branch expansion strategy and our branch upgrading will increase our
earnings in the short term or within a reasonable period of time, if at all. Numerous factors will affect our branch
expansion strategy, such as our ability to select suitable branch locations, real estate acquisition costs, competition,
interest rates, managerial resources, our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel, the effectiveness of our
marketing strategy and our ability to attract deposits. It takes time for a new branch to generate significant
deposits and loan volume to offset expenses, some of which, like salaries and occupancy expense, are relatively
fixed costs. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in increasing the volume of our loans and
deposits by expanding our branch network. Building and staffing new branch offices will increase our operating
expenses. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to manage the costs and implementation risks
associated with this strategy so that expansion of our branch network will be profitable.
Strong competition within our market areas could hurt our profits and slow growth.
We face intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. In particular, several financial
institutions have recently opened new offices or branches in Dearborn County. This competition has made it more
difficult for us to make new loans and at times has forced us to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for
loans and deposits might result in us earning less on our loans and paying more on our deposits, which would
reduce net interest income. Competition also makes it more difficult to grow loans and deposits. As of June 30,
2005, the most recent date for which information is available, we held 36.3% of the deposits in Dearborn County,
Indiana. Competition also makes it more difficult to hire and retain experienced employees. Some of the
institutions with which we compete have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may
offer services that we do not provide. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative,
regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry.
Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to compete successfully in our market areas. For more
information about our market areas and the competition we face, see Our BusinessMarket Areas and Our
BusinessCompetition.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and we may be adversely affected by changes in
laws and regulations.
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision,
our primary federal regulator, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of our deposits. United
Community MHC, United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank will all be subject to regulation and
supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Such regulation and supervision governs the activities in which an
institution and its holding company may engage, and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance
fund and the depositors and borrowers of United Community Bank rather than for holders of United Community
Bancorp common stock. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement
activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets and
determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether
in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our
operations.

Risks Related to this Offering
Additional expenses following the offering from operating as a public company and from new
stock-based benefit plans will adversely affect our profitability.
Following the offering, our noninterest expenses are likely to increase as a result of the financial
accounting, legal and various other additional expenses usually associated with operating as a public company. We
also will recognize additional annual salaries and employee benefits expenses stemming from the shares purchased
or granted to employees and executives under new benefit plans. These additional expenses will adversely affect
our profitability. We cannot determine the actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit
expenses at this time because applicable accounting practices require that they be based on the fair market value of
the shares of common stock at specific points in the future; however, we expect them to be material. We will
recognize expenses for our employee stock ownership plan when shares are committed to be released to
participants accounts and will recognize expenses for restricted stock awards and stock options over the vesting
period of awards made to recipients. These benefit expenses in the first year following the offering have been
estimated to be approximately $511,000 at the maximum of the offering range as set forth in the pro forma
financial information under Pro Forma Data assuming the $10.00 per share purchase price as fair market value.
Actual expenses, however, may be higher or lower, depending on the price of our common stock. For further
discussion of these plans, see Our ManagementBenefit Plans.
We will need to implement additional finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls
in order to satisfy our new public company reporting requirements.
Upon the completion of this offering, we will become a public reporting company. The federal securities
laws and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that we file annual, quarterly and
current reports and that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over
financial reporting. We expect that the obligations of being a public company, including substantial public
reporting obligations, will require significant expenditures and place additional demands on our management
team. These obligations will increase our operating expenses and could divert our managements attention from
our operations. Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission will require us to certify the adequacy of our internal controls and
procedures, which will require us to upgrade our accounting systems, which will increase our operating costs.
Our low return on equity may negatively impact the value of our common stock.
Return on equity, which equals net income divided by average equity, is a ratio used by many investors to
compare the performance of a particular company with other companies. For the year ended June 30, 2005 and the
three months ended September 30, 2005, our return on equity was 7.02% and 7.50%, respectively. Our pro forma
return on equity for the same periods is expected to be 3.96% and 4.17%, respectively, assuming the midpoint of
the offering range. Our peer group used in the valuation of United Community Bancorp had a average return on
equity of 8.11% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2005, while all publicly traded fully converted thrifts had a
average return on equity of 12.73% for the same period. Over time, we intend to use the net proceeds from this
offering to increase earnings per share and book value per share, without assuming undue risk, with the goal of
achieving a return on equity that is competitive with other publicly held subsidiaries of mutual holding companies.
This goal could take a number of years to achieve, and we cannot assure you that it will be attained. Consequently,
you should not expect a competitive return on equity in the near future. Failure to achieve a competitive return on
equity might make an investment in our common stock unattractive to some investors and might cause our
common stock to trade at lower prices than comparable companies with higher returns on equity. See Pro Forma
Data for an illustration of the financial impact of this offering. The information in Pro Forma Data does not
reflect the impact that the new expenses we expect to incur as a result of our expansion and operating as a public
company will have on our return on equity.
20
We have broad discretion in allocating the proceeds of the offering. Our failure to utilize
effectively such proceeds would reduce our profitability.
United Community Bancorp intends to contribute approximately 50.0% of the net proceeds of the offering
to United Community Bank. We may use the remaining net proceeds to pay dividends to stockholders, repurchase
common stock, purchase securities, finance the acquisition of other financial institutions or other businesses that
are related to banking, or for other general corporate purposes. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds to
fund the purchase by our employee stock ownership plan of shares in the offering. United Community Bank may
use the proceeds it receives to fund new loans, purchase loans, purchase securities, establish or acquire new
branches, acquire financial institutions or other businesses that are related to banking, or for general corporate
purposes. We have not allocated specific amounts of proceeds for any of these purposes, and we will have
significant flexibility in determining how much of the net proceeds we apply to different uses and the timing of
such applications. Our failure to utilize these funds effectively would reduce our profitability.
Issuance of shares for benefit programs may dilute your ownership interest.
We intend to adopt an equity incentive plan following the reorganization. If stockholders approve the new
equity incentive plan, we intend to issue shares to our officers and directors through this plan. If the restricted
stock awards under the equity incentive plan are funded from authorized but unissued stock, your ownership
interest in the shares issued to persons other than United Community MHC could be diluted by up to
approximately 4.17%, assuming awards of common stock equal to 1.96% of the shares issued in the offering,
including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation, are awarded under the plan. If the shares issued upon the exercise of stock options under the equity
incentive plan are issued from authorized but unissued stock, your ownership interest in the shares issued to
persons other than United Community MHC could be diluted by up to approximately 9.82%, assuming stock option
grants equal to 4.9% of the shares issued in the reorganization, including shares issued to United Community
MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation, are granted under the plan. See Pro
Forma Data and Our ManagementBenefit Plans.
United Community MHCs majority control of our common stock will enable it to exercise voting
control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders and will prevent stockholders from
forcing a sale or a second-step conversion transaction you may find advantageous.
United Community MHC will own a majority of United Community Bancorps common stock after the
offering and, through its board of directors, will be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of
stockholders. The same directors and officers who will manage United Community Bancorp and United
Community Bank will also manage United Community MHC. As a federally chartered mutual holding company,
the board of directors of United Community MHC must ensure that the interests of depositors of United
Community Bank are represented and considered in matters put to a vote of stockholders of United Community
Bancorp. Therefore, the votes cast by United Community MHC may not be in your personal best interests as a
stockholder. For example, United Community MHC may exercise its voting control to defeat a stockholder
nominee for election to the board of directors of United Community Bancorp. In addition, stockholders will not be
able to force a merger or second-step conversion transaction without the consent of United Community MHC.
Some stockholders may desire a sale or merger transaction, since stockholders typically receive a premium for their
shares, or a second-step conversion transaction, since fully converted institutions tend to trade at higher multiples
than mutual holding companies.
Office of Thrift Supervision policy on remutualization transactions could prohibit acquisition of
United Community Bancorp, which may adversely affect our stock price.
Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit a mutual holding company to be acquired by a
mutual institution in a remutualization transaction. The possibility of a remutualization transaction has recently
resulted in a degree of takeover speculation for mutual holding companies that is reflected in the per share price of
21
mutual holding companies common stock. However, the Office of Thrift Supervision has issued a policy
statement indicating that it views remutualization transactions as raising significant issues concerning disparate
treatment of minority stockholders and mutual members of the target entity and raising issues concerning the effect
on the mutual members of the acquiring entity. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Thrift Supervision
intends to give these issues special scrutiny and reject applications providing for the remutualization of a mutual
holding company unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate that the Office of Thrift Supervisions concerns are
not warranted in the particular case. Should the Office of Thrift Supervision prohibit or otherwise restrict these
transactions in the future, our per share stock price may be adversely affected. For further information, see
Restrictions on Acquisition of United Community Bancorp and United Community BankRegulatory
Restrictions.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and anti-takeover provisions in our charter restrict the
accumulation of our common stock, which may adversely affect our stock price.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations provide that for a period of three years following the date of the
completion of the reorganization, no person, acting alone, together with associates or in a group of persons acting
in concert, may directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10.0% of our
common stock without the prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, United
Community Bancorps charter provides that, for a period of five years from the date of the reorganization, no
person, other than United Community MHC may acquire directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of more
than 10.0% of any class of any equity security of United Community Bancorp. In the event a person acquires
shares in violation of this charter provision, all shares beneficially owned by such person in excess of 10.0% will be
considered excess shares and will not be counted as shares entitled to vote or counted as voting shares in
connection with any matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. These factors make it more difficult and less
attractive for stockholders to acquire a significant amount of our common stock, which may adversely affect our
stock price.
Our stock price may decline when trading commences.
We cannot guarantee that if you purchase shares in the offering that you will be able to sell them at or
above the $10.00 purchase price. The shares of several recent minority offerings by mutual holding companies
have traded below the initial offering price after completion of the offering. After the shares of our common stock
begin trading, the trading price of the common stock will be determined by the marketplace, and will be influenced
by many factors outside of our control, including prevailing interest rates, investor perceptions and general
industry, geopolitical and economic conditions. Publicly traded stocks, including stocks of financial institutions,
often experience substantial market price volatility. These market fluctuations might not be related to the
operating performance of particular companies whose shares are traded.
There may be a limited market for our common stock, which may adversely affect our stock price.
Although we intend to have our stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, there is no guarantee that
the shares will be actively traded. If an active trading market for our common stock does not develop, you may not
be able to sell all of your shares of common stock on short notice and the sale of a large number of shares at one
time could temporarily depress the market price. There also may be a wide spread between the bid and asked price
for our common stock. When there is a wide spread between the bid and asked price, the price at which you may
be able to sell our common stock may be significantly lower than the price at which you could buy it at that time.
22
Risks Related to the Formation of the Charitable Foundation
The contribution to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will decrease the ownership
interest and voting interest in the shares issued to persons other than United Community MHC
by 4.2% after the contribution.
Purchasers of shares other than United Community MHC will have their ownership and voting interests
diluted by 4.2% at the close of the reorganization when United Community Bancorp issues and contributes an
additional number of shares to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. For a further discussion regarding
the effect of the contribution to the charitable foundation, see Pro Forma Data and Comparison of Independent
Valuation and Pro Forma Financial Information With and Without the Foundation.
Our contribution to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation may not be tax deductible,
which could hurt our profits.
We believe that our contribution to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation, valued at $1.7
million at the maximum of the offering, pre-tax, will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, we
do not have any assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will grant tax-exempt status to the foundation. If the
contribution is not deductible, we would not receive any tax benefit from the contribution. In addition, even if the
contribution is tax deductible, we may not have sufficient profits to be able to use the deduction fully. In the event
it is more likely than not that we will be unable to use the entire deduction, we will be required to establish a
valuation allowance related to any deferred tax asset that has been recorded for this contribution.
Establishment of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will hurt our profits for fiscal
year 2006.
United Community Bancorp intends to contribute $250,000 in cash and 1.9% of United Community
Bancorps common stock to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. This contribution will be an
additional operating expense and will reduce net income during the fiscal year in which the foundation is
established, which is expected to be the year ending June 30, 2006. Based on the pro forma assumptions, at the
midpoint of the offering range, the contribution to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation would reduce
net earnings by $968,000, after tax, in fiscal year 2006. See Pro Forma Data.

A Warning About Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as
believes, expects, anticipates, estimates or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include:
| statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; |
| statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; |
| statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and |
| estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. |
These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following
factors:
| general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than |
expected; |
| changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our interest margins or reduce the fair value |
of financial instruments; |
| increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; |
| changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; |
| legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business; |
| adverse changes in the securities markets; |
| inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to United Community Bank; |
| changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, |
the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; |
and |
| our ability to successfully implement our branch expansion strategy. |
Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this prospectus and in other public statements we
make may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors
illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Consequently, no forward-looking statement
can be guaranteed.

The following table shows how we expect to use the net proceeds of the offering. The actual net proceeds
will depend on the number of shares of common stock sold in the offering and the expenses incurred in connection
with the offering. Payments for shares made through withdrawals from deposit accounts at United Community
Bank will reduce United Community Banks deposits and will not result in the receipt of new funds for investment.
See Pro Forma Data for the assumptions used to arrive at these amounts.

United Community Bancorp intends to invest the proceeds it retains from the offering initially in short-
term, liquid investments. Over time, United Community Bancorp may use the proceeds it retains from the
offering:
| to invest in securities; |
| to pay dividends to stockholders; |
| to repurchase shares of its common stock, subject to regulatory restrictions; |
| to finance the possible acquisition of financial institutions or other businesses that are related to banking; and |
| for general corporate purposes. |
Under current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, United Community Bancorp may not repurchase
shares of its common stock during the first year following the reorganization, except to fund stock-based benefit
plans or, with prior regulatory approval, when extraordinary circumstances exist.
United Community Bank intends to invest the proceeds it receives from the offering initially in short-
term, liquid investments. Over time, United Community Bank may use the proceeds that it receives from the
offering, which are shown in the table above as the amount contributed to United Community Bank:
| to fund new loans; |
27
| to invest in securities; |
| to finance the possible expansion of its business activities, including developing new branch |
locations; and |
| for general corporate purposes. |
United Community Bank may need regulatory approvals to engage in some of the activities listed above.
It currently has no specific plans or agreements regarding any expansion activities or acquisitions other than the
planned branch office openings discussed under Our BusinessProperties. Financing for opening these
branches is not contingent on this offering.
Except as described above, neither United Community Bancorp nor United Community Bank has any
specific plans for the investment of the proceeds of this offering and has not allocated a specific portion of the
proceeds to any particular use. For a discussion of our business reasons for undertaking the reorganization, see
The Reorganization and Stock OfferingReasons for the Reorganization.
Following the reorganization, our board of directors intends to adopt a policy of paying regular cash
dividends, but has not decided the amount that may be paid or when the payments may begin. In addition, the
board of directors may declare and pay periodic special cash dividends in addition to, or in lieu of, regular cash
dividends. In determining whether to declare or pay any dividends, whether regular or special, the board of
directors will take into account United Community Bancorps financial condition and results of operations, tax
considerations, capital requirements, industry standards and economic conditions. The regulatory restrictions that
affect the payment of dividends by United Community Bank to United Community Bancorp discussed below will
also be considered. United Community Bancorp cannot guarantee that it will pay dividends or that, if paid, United
Community Bancorp will not reduce or eliminate dividends in the future.
If United Community Bancorp pays dividends to its stockholders, it also will be required to pay dividends
to United Community MHC, unless United Community MHC elects to waive the receipt of dividends. We
anticipate that United Community MHC will waive any dividends that United Community Bancorp may pay. Any
decision to waive dividends will be subject to regulatory approval.
United Community Bancorp will not be subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulatory restrictions on
the payment of dividends. However, United Community Bancorps ability to pay dividends may depend, in part,
upon its receipt of dividends from United Community Bank because United Community Bancorp initially will have
no source of income other than earnings from the investment of the net proceeds from the offering that it retains.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations limit dividends and other distributions from United Community Bank to
United Community Bancorp. In addition, United Community Bank may not make a distribution that would
constitute a return of capital during the three-year term of the business plan submitted in connection with the
reorganization. No insured depository institution may make a capital distribution if, after making the distribution,
the institution would be undercapitalized. See Regulation and SupervisionRegulation of Federal Savings
AssociationsLimitation on Capital Distributions.
Any payment of dividends by United Community Bank to United Community Bancorp that would be
deemed to be drawn out of United Community Banks bad debt reserves would require United Community Bank to
pay federal income taxes at the then-current income tax rate on the amount deemed distributed. See Federal and
State TaxationFederal Income Taxation and note 15 of the notes to financial statements included in this
prospectus. United Community Bancorp does not contemplate any distribution by United Community Bank that
would result in this type of tax liability.
28
We have not previously issued common stock and there is currently no established market for the common
stock. Upon completion of the reorganization, we expect to meet the listing standards of and expect that our shares
of common stock will be quoted on, the Nasdaq National Market. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. intends to
become a market maker in our common stock following the reorganization, but is under no obligation to do so. We
cannot assure you that other market makers will be obtained or that an active and liquid trading market for the
common stock will develop or, if developed, will be maintained.
The development of a public market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness
depends on the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within our control or that of
any market maker. The number of active buyers and sellers of our common stock at any particular time may be
limited, which may have an adverse effect on the price at which our common stock can be sold. There can be no
assurance that persons purchasing the common stock will be able to sell their shares at or above the $10.00 price
per share in the offering. Purchasers of our common stock should have a longer term investment intent and should

The following table presents the historical capitalization of United Community Bank at September 30,
2005 and the capitalization of United Community Bancorp reflecting the offering (referred to as pro forma
information). The pro forma capitalization gives effect to the assumptions listed under Pro Forma Data, based
on the sale of the number of shares of common stock indicated in the table. This table does not reflect the issuance
of additional shares under the proposed equity incentive plan. A change in the number of shares to be issued in
the offering may materially affect pro forma capitalization. United Community Bancorp is offering its
common stock on a best efforts basis. United Community Bancorp must sell a minimum of 2,344,640 shares to
complete the offering.

MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation, will be acquired by the employee stock |
ownership plan in the offering with funds borrowed from United Community Bancorp. Under U.S. generally accepted |
accounting principles, the amount of common stock to be purchased by the employee stock ownership plan represents |
unearned compensation and is, accordingly, reflected as a reduction of equity. As shares are released to plan participants |
accounts, a corresponding reduction in the charge against equity will occur. Since the funds are borrowed from United |
Community Bancorp, the borrowing will be eliminated in consolidation and no liability or interest expense will be |
reflected in the financial statements of United Community Bancorp. See Pro Forma Data and Our |

Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. The shares are reflected as a |
reduction of stockholders equity. The equity incentive plan will be submitted to stockholders for approval at a meeting |
following the reorganization. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to this OfferingIssuance of shares for benefit programs |

At September 30, 2005, United Community Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to be
considered a well capitalized institution. The following table presents United Community Banks capital
position relative to its regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2005, on a historical and pro forma basis.
The table reflects receipt by United Community Bank of 50.0% of the net proceeds of the offering. For purposes of
the table, the amount expected to be borrowed by the employee stock ownership plan and the cost of the shares
expected to be awarded under the equity incentive plan as restricted stock (3.92% and 1.96% of the shares of
common stock issued, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community
Bank Charitable Foundation, respectively) are deducted from pro forma regulatory capital. For a discussion of the
assumptions underlying the pro forma capital calculations presented below, see Use of Proceeds,
Capitalization and Pro Forma Data. The definitions of the terms used in the table are those provided in the
capital regulations issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision. For a discussion of the capital standards applicable
to United Community Bank, see Regulation and SupervisionRegulation of Federal Savings
AssociationsCapital Requirements.

The following tables show information about our net income and stockholders equity reflecting the
reorganization. The information provided illustrates our pro forma net income and stockholders equity based on
the sale of common stock at the minimum of the offering range, the midpoint of the offering range, the maximum
of the offering range and 15% above the maximum of the offering range. The actual net proceeds from the sale of
the common stock cannot be determined until the reorganization is completed. Net proceeds indicated in the
following tables are based upon the following assumptions:
| All shares of stock will be sold in the subscription and community offerings; |
| Our employee stock ownership plan will purchase a number of shares equal to 3.96% of the shares issued in the reorganization, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation, with a loan from United Community Bancorp that will be repaid in equal installments over a period of 15 years; |
| Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will receive a fee equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares sold in the offering, except that no fee will be paid with respect to shares contributed to the charitable foundation or purchased by the employee stock ownership plan or by our officers, directors and employees and members of their immediate families; |
| Total expenses of the offering, excluding fees paid to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., will be $850,000; and |
| We will make a charitable contribution of a number of shares of United Community Bancorp common stock equal to 1.9% of the shares issued in the reorganization, including shares issued to United Community MHC, with an assumed value of $10.00 per share, plus $250,000 in cash. The number of shares contributed to the foundation would equal 103,360, 121,600, 139,840 and 160,816 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively. |
Actual expenses may vary from this estimate, and the fees paid will depend upon whether a syndicate of
broker-dealers or other means is necessary to sell the shares (which would increase offering expenses), and other
factors.
Pro forma net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the year ended June 30, 2005
have been calculated as if the reorganization was completed at the beginning of each period, and the net proceeds
had been invested at 4.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 3.25% for the year ended June 30,
2005, which represents the one-year treasury rate on each date. We believe that the one-year treasury rate
represents a more realistic yield on the investment of the offering proceeds than the arithmetic average of the
weighted average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on our deposits,
which is the reinvestment rate required by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.
A pro forma after-tax return of 2.88% is used for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2.15%
for the year ended June 30, 2005, after giving effect to a combined federal and state income tax rate of 34.0% for
each period. The actual rate experienced by United Community Bancorp may vary. Historical and pro forma per
share amounts have been calculated by dividing historical and pro forma amounts by the number of shares of
common stock indicated in the tables.
When reviewing the following tables, you should consider the following:
| The final column gives effect to a 15% increase in the offering range, which may occur without |
any further notice if Keller & Company increases its appraisal to reflect the results of this |
32
offering, changes in our financial condition or results of operations or changes in market or economic conditions after the offering begins or due to regulatory considerations. See The Reorganization and Stock OfferingHow We Determined the Offering Range and the $10.00 Purchase Price. |
| Since funds on deposit at United Community Bank may be withdrawn to purchase shares of common stock, the amount of funds available for investment will be reduced by the amount of withdrawals for stock purchases. The pro forma tables do not reflect withdrawals from deposit accounts. |
| Historical per share amounts have been computed as if the shares of common stock expected to be issued in the reorganization had been outstanding at the beginning of the period covered by the table. However, neither historical nor pro forma stockholders equity has been adjusted to reflect the investment of the estimated net proceeds from the sale of the shares in the reorganization, the additional employee stock ownership plan expense or the proposed equity incentive plan. |
| Pro forma stockholders equity (book value) represents the difference between the stated amounts of our assets and liabilities. Book value amounts do not represent fair market values or amounts available for distribution to stockholders in the unlikely event of liquidation. The amounts shown do not reflect the federal income tax consequences of the restoration to income of United Community Banks special bad debt reserves for income tax purposes, which would be required in the unlikely event of liquidation. See Federal and State Taxation. |
| The amounts shown as pro forma stockholders equity per share do not represent possible future price appreciation of United Community Bancorps common stock. |
| The pro forma tables do not reflect the impact of the net expenses we initially expect to incur as a result of the construction of branch offices in Aurora, St. Leon and Milan, Indiana, and our operating as a public company. |
The following pro forma data may not represent the actual financial effects of the reorganization or our
operating results after the reorganization. The pro forma data rely exclusively on the assumptions outlined above
and in the notes to the pro forma tables. The pro forma data do not represent the fair market value of our common
stock, the current fair market value of our assets or liabilities or the amount of money that would be available for
distribution to stockholders if we are liquidated after the reorganization.
We are offering our common stock on a best efforts basis. United Community Bancorp must sell a
minimum of 2,344,640 shares to complete the offering.

(1) | Assumes that the employee stock ownership plan will acquire a number of shares equal to 3.92% of the shares issued in |
the reorganization, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank |
Charitable Foundation (213,248, 250,880, 288,512 and 331,789 shares at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted |
maximum of the offering range, respectively). The employee stock ownership plan will borrow the funds used to acquire |
these shares from the net proceeds from the reorganization retained by United Community Bancorp. The amount of this |
borrowing has been reflected as a reduction from gross proceeds to determine estimated net investable proceeds. This |
borrowing will have an interest rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, which is currently |
%, and a term of 15 years. United Community Bank intends to make contributions to the employee stock ownership |
plan in amounts at least equal to the principal and interest requirement of the debt. Interest income that United |
Community Bancorp will earn on the loan will offset the interest paid on the loan by United Community Bank. As the |
debt is paid down, shares will be released for allocation to participants accounts and stockholders equity will be |
increased. |
The adjustment to pro forma net income for the employee stock ownership plan reflects the after-tax compensation
expense associated with the plan. Applicable accounting principles require that compensation expense for the employee
stock ownership plan be based upon shares committed to be released and that unallocated shares be excluded from
earnings per share computations. An equal number of shares (1/15 of the total, based on a 15-year loan) will be released
each year over the term of the loan. The valuation of shares committed to be released would be based upon the average
market value of the shares during the year, which, for purposes of this calculation, was assumed to be equal to the $10.00
per share purchase price. If the average market value per share is greater than $10.00 per share, total employee stock
ownership plan expense would be greater. See Our ManagementBenefit PlansEmployee Stock Ownership Plan.
(2) | Assumes that United Community Bancorp will purchase in the open market a number of shares equal to 1.96% of the |
shares issued in the offering, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community |
Bank Charitable Foundation (106,624, 125,440, 144,256 and 165,894 shares at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and |
adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively), that will be reissued as restricted stock awards under an equity |
incentive plan to be adopted following the reorganization. Repurchases will be funded with cash on hand at United |
Community Bancorp or with dividends paid to United Community Bancorp by United Community Bank. The cost of these |
shares has been reflected as a reduction from gross proceeds to determine estimated net investable proceeds. In |
calculating the pro forma effect of the restricted stock awards, it is assumed that the required stockholder approval has |
been received, that the shares used to fund the awards were acquired at the beginning of the respective period and that the |
shares were acquired at the $10.00 per share purchase price. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of the |
common stock instead of shares repurchased in the open market would dilute the ownership interests of existing |
stockholders, other than United Community MHC, by approximately 4.17%. |
The adjustment to pro forma net income for the restricted stock awards reflects the after-tax compensation expense
associated with the awards. It is assumed that the fair market value of a share of United Community Bancorp common
stock was $10.00 at the time the awards were made, that shares of restricted stock issued under the equity incentive plan
vest 20.0% per year, that compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over each vesting period so that
20.0% of the value of the shares awarded was an amortized expense during each year, and that the combined federal and
state income tax rate was 34.0%. If the fair market value per share is greater than $10.00 per share on the date shares are
awarded under the equity incentive plan, total equity incentive plan expense would be greater.
(3) | Does not give effect to the non-recurring expense that will be recognized in fiscal 2006 as a result of the contribution of |
common stock to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. |

The pro forma data assume that we will realize 100.0% of the income tax benefit as a result of the contribution to the
foundation based on a 34.0% tax rate. The realization of the tax benefit is limited annually to 10.0% of our annual taxable
income. However, for federal and state tax purposes, we can carry forward any unused portion of the deduction for five
years following the year in which the contribution is made.
(4) | The adjustment to pro forma net income for stock options reflects the after-tax compensation expense associated with the |
stock options that may be granted under the equity incentive plan to be adopted following the offering. If the equity |
incentive plan is approved by stockholders, a number of shares equal to 4.9% of the number of shares issued in the |
offering, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable |
Foundation (266,560, 313,600, 360,640 and 414,736 shares at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum |
of the offering range, respectively) will be reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of stock options that may be |
granted under the plan. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula, the options are assumed to have a value of $4.08 |
each option, based on the following assumptions: exercise price, $10.00; trading price on date of grant, $10.00; dividend |
yield, 0.0%; expected life, 10 years; expected volatility, 16.3%; and risk-free interest rate, 4.56%. Because there currently |
is no market for United Community Bancorp common stock, the assumed expected volatility is based on the SNL |
Financial MHC Index. The dividend yield is assumed to be 0.0% because there is no history of dividend payments and the |
board of directors has not expressed an intention to commence dividend payments upon completion of the offering. It is |
assumed that stock options granted under the equity incentive plan vest 20.0% per year, that compensation expense is |
recognized on a straight-line basis over each vesting period so that 20.0% of the value of the options awarded was an |
amortized expense during each year, that 25.0% of the options awarded are non-qualified options and that the combined |
federal and state income tax rate was 34.0%. If the fair market value per share is different than $10.00 per share on the |
date options are awarded under the equity incentive plan, or if the assumptions used in the option-pricing formula are |
different from those used in preparing this pro forma data, the value of the stock options and the related expense would be |
different. Applicable accounting standards do not prescribe a specific valuation technique to be used to estimate the fair |
value of employee stock options. United Community Bancorp may use a valuation technique other than the Black-Scholes |
option-pricing formula and that technique may produce a different value. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares |
of common stock to satisfy option exercises instead of shares repurchased in the open market would dilute the ownership |
interests of existing stockholders, other than United Community MHC, by approximately 8.92%. |
(5) | The number of shares used to calculate pro forma net income per share is equal to the total number of shares to be outstanding |
upon completion of the reorganization, less the number of shares purchased by the employee stock ownership |
plan not committed to be released within one year following the reorganization. The number of shares used to calculate |
pro forma stockholders equity per share is equal to the total number of shares to be outstanding upon completion of the |
offering. |

Comparison of Independent Valuation and Pro Forma Financial
Information With and Without the Foundation
As set forth in the following table, if we do not establish and fund United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation as part of the offering, Keller & Company estimates that our pro forma valuation would be greater,
which would have resulted in an increase in the amount of common stock offered for sale in the offering. If the
foundation were not established, there is no assurance that the updated appraisal that Keller & Company will
prepare at the closing of the offering would conclude that our pro forma market value would be the same as the
estimate set forth in the table below. The updated appraisal will be based on the facts and circumstances existing
at that time, including, among other things, market and economic conditions.
The information presented in the following table is for comparative purposes only. It assumes that the
offering was completed at September 30, 2005, based on the assumptions set forth under Pro Forma Data.

General
United Community Bancorp will be organized as a federal corporation upon completion of the
reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, United Community Bank will be a wholly owned subsidiary of
United Community Bancorp and United Community Bancorp will be a majority-owned subsidiary of United
Community MHC. Upon completion of the reorganization, United Community Bancorps business activities will
be the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of United Community Bank and management of the investment
of offering proceeds retained from the reorganization. Initially, United Community Bancorp will neither own nor
lease any property but will instead use the premises, equipment and other property of United Community Bank
with the payment of appropriate rental fees, as required by applicable law and regulations. In the future, United
Community Bancorp may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries; however, there are no current plans,
arrangements, agreements or understandings, written or oral, to do so.
United Community Bank was created on April 12, 1999 through the merger of Perpetual Federal Savings
and Loan Association, originally chartered in 1894, and Progressive Federal Savings Bank, originally chartered in
1914. Both institutions were headquarted in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and operated as community-oriented financial
institutions in the Lawrenceburg market area. At the time of our merger, we had approximately $185.0 million in
assets and $166.0 million in deposits. At September 30, 2005, we have approximately $321.3 million in assets and
$289.1 million in deposits.
United Community Bank provides customers with quality customer service combined with a full menu of
banking services and products. Recent years have seen the expansion of services we offer from a traditional
savings and loan product mix to one of a full-service financial institution servicing the needs of consumer and
commercial customers. We give back to the communities we serve by assuming a role in community affairs, not
only through monetary donations, but by asking our employees to also contribute their time by taking leadership
roles in the many organizations dedicated to serving the community.
We operate as a community-oriented financial institution offering traditional financial services to
consumers and businesses in our market areas. We attract deposits from the general public and local
municipalities and use those funds to originate one- to four-family real estate, multi-family and nonresidential real
estate and land, construction, commercial and consumer loans, which, with the exception of long-term fixed-rate
one-to four-family real estate loans, we primarily hold for investment. We also maintain an investment portfolio.
We offer non-deposit investment products through a third-party network arrangement with a registered broker-
dealer.
Our website address is www.bankucb.com. Information on our website should not be considered a part of
this prospectus.
Market Areas
We are headquartered in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, which is in the eastern part of Dearborn County,
Indiana, along the Ohio River. The economy of the region in which our current offices are located, and planned
future offices will be located, has historically been a mixture of light industrial enterprises and services. The
economy in Lawrenceburg has been strong in recent years as a result of the opening of a Riverboat casino in
Lawrenceburg whose presence has led to new retail centers, job growth and an increase in housing development.
Located 20 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio, Dearborn County has also benefitted from the growth in and around
Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, as many residents commute to these areas for employment.
39
Dearborn Countys road system includes eight state highways and two U.S. highways. I-275 enters
Indiana near Lawrenceburg and offers easy connection to 1-71 and 1-75. At the northern end of the county, 1-74
connects us with Indianapolis to the west and Cincinnati to the east. Dearborn County is 20 minutes from the
Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport by way of Interstate 275. The county has four rail
lines and port facilities due to the proximity of the Ohio River.
Based on United States Census data, in 2000, personal income per capita for Dearborn County, Indiana
approximately $27,472 compared to $26,933 for Indiana and $29,469 for the entire United States. In addition, the
population of Dearborn County was 46,000 as compared to 6.1 million for Indiana.
Competition
We face significant competition for the attraction of deposits and origination of loans. Our most direct
competition for deposits has historically come from the several financial institutions operating in our market areas
and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service companies such as brokerage firms, credit unions and insurance
companies. We also face competition for investors funds from money market funds, mutual funds and other
corporate and government securities. At June 30, 2005, which is the most recent date for which data is available
from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, we held approximately 36.3% of the deposits in Dearborn
County, which was the largest market share out of the nine financial institutions with offices in Dearborn County.
In addition, banks owned by large out-of-state bank holding companies such as Wells Fargo & Company, Fifth
Third Bancorp and U.S. Bancorp also operate in our market areas. These institutions are significantly larger than
us and, therefore, have significantly greater resources.
Our competition for loans comes primarily from financial institutions in our market areas, and, to a lesser
extent, from other financial service providers such as mortgage companies and mortgage brokers. Competition for
loans also comes from the increasing number of non-depository financial service companies entering the mortgage
market such as insurance companies, securities companies and specialty finance companies.
We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological
changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for
example, have lowered the barriers to market entry, allowed banks and other lenders to expand their geographic
reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products
and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among
banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which promotes a competitive environment in the financial
services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit our future growth.
Lending Activities
General. We originate loans primarily for investment purposes. The largest segment of our loan
portfolio is one- to four-family residential real estate loans. The other significant segments of our loan portfolio
are nonresidential real estate and land loans, multifamily residential real estate loans, residential loans and
consumer loans.
One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. The largest segment of our loan portfolio is
comprised of mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance existing homes most of which serve as
the primary residence of the owner. We offer fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans with terms up to 30 years.
Borrower demand for adjustable-rate loans versus fixed-rate loans is a function of the level of interest rates, the
expectations of changes in the level of interest rates, and the difference between the interest rates and loan fees
offered for fixed-rate mortgage loans and the initial period interest rates and loan fees for adjustable-rate loans.
The relative amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans and adjustable-rate mortgage loans that can be originated at any
time is largely determined by the demand for each in a competitive environment. The loan fees, interest rates and
40
other provisions of mortgage loans are determined by us on the basis of our own pricing criteria and competitive
market conditions. Most of our loan originations result from relationships with existing or past customers,
members of our local community and referrals from realtors, attorneys and builders.
While one- to four-family residential real estate loans are normally originated with up to 30-year terms,
such loans typically remain outstanding for substantially shorter periods because borrowers often prepay their loans
in full upon sale of the property pledged as security or upon refinancing the original loan. Therefore, average loan
maturity is a function of, among other factors, the level of purchase and sale activity in the real estate market,
prevailing interest rates and the interest rates payable on outstanding loans. Additionally, our current practice is
generally to (i) sell to the secondary market newly originated conforming fixed-rate 15-, 20- and 30-year one- to
four-family residential real estate loans, and (ii) to hold in our portfolio fixed-rate loans with 10-year terms or less
and adjustable-rate loans. Occasionally, we have purchased loans and purchased participation interests in loans
originated by other institutions to supplement our origination efforts.
Interest rates and payments on our adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally adjust annually after an initial
fixed period that ranges from one to 10 years. Interest rates and payments on these adjustable-rate loans generally
are based on the one-year constant maturity Treasury index (three-year constant maturity Treasury index in the
case of three-year adjustable-rate loans) as published by the Federal Reserve in Statistical Release H.15. The
maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased is generally two percentage points per adjustment
period and the lifetime interest rate cap ranges from five to six percentage points over the initial interest rate of the
loan. Our adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans generally do not provide for a decrease in the rate paid below
the initial contract rate. The inability of our residential real estate loans to adjust downward below the initial
contract rate can contribute to increased income in periods of declining interest rates, and also assists us in our
efforts to limit the risks to earnings and equity value resulting from changes in interest rates, subject to the risk that
borrowers may refinance these loans during periods of declining interest rates.
We generally do not make conventional loans with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 95% at the time the
loan is originated. Private mortgage insurance is generally required for all fixed-rate loans with loan-to-value
ratios in excess of 80%, and all adjustable-rate loans with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 85%. We require all
properties securing mortgage loans to be appraised by a board-approved independent appraiser. We generally
require title insurance on all first mortgage loans. Borrowers must obtain hazard insurance, and flood insurance
for loans on properties located in a flood zone, before closing the loan.
In an effort to provide financing for low- and moderate-income and first-time buyers, we offer a special
home buyers program. We offer residential mortgage loans through this program to qualified individuals and
originate the loans using reduced interest rates, fees and loan conditions.
Multi-Family Real Estate Loans. We offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by multi-family
real estate. Our multi-family real estate loans are generally secured by apartment buildings. We also make multi-
family real estate loans secured by apartment buildings outside of our primary market area to existing customers
who reside in our primary market area. We intend to continue to grow this segment of our loan portfolio.
These loans are typically repaid or the term extended before maturity, in which case a new rate is
negotiated to meet market conditions and an extension of the loan is executed for a new term with a new
amortization schedule. We originate adjustable-rate multi-family real estate loans with terms up to 30 years.
Interest rates and payments on most of these loans typically adjust annually after an initial fixed term of five
or seven years. Interest rates and payments on our adjustable-rate loans generally are based on the prime interest rate.
The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased is generally two percentage points per
adjustment period and the lifetime interest rate cap is six percentage points over the initial interest rate of the loan
(five percentage points for loans with three-year terms). Loans are secured by first mortgages that generally do not
exceed 80% of the propertys appraised value. When the borrower is a corporation, partnership or other entity, we
41
generally require that significant equity holders serve as co-borrowers on the loan, or, to a lesser extent, serve as a
personal guarantor of the loan.
Loans secured by multi-family real estate generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of
risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in multi-family real estate lending is
the borrowers creditworthiness and the feasability and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans
secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result,
repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential real estate loans to
adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. To monitor cash flows on income properties, we
require borrowers and loan guarantors of loan relationships totaling more than $1.0 million, in the aggregate, to
provide annual financial statements and/or tax returns. In reaching a decision on whether to make a multi-family
real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise, credit history and
profitability and the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to rental properties, we will also
consider the term of the lease and the credit quality of the tenants. We have generally required that the properties
securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt
service) of at least 1.20x.
At September 30, 2005, the largest outstanding multi-family real estate loan had an outstanding balance
of $2.2 million and is secured by an apartment building located in Northern Kentucky. This loan was performing
according to its original terms at September 30, 2005.
Nonresidential Real Estate and Land Loans. We offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by
nonresidential real estate. Our nonresidential real estate loans are generally secured by apartment buildings. We
intend to continue to grow this segment of our loan portfolio. These loans are typically repaid or the term
extended before maturity, in which case a new rate is negotiated to meet market conditions and an extension of the
loan is executed for a new term with a new amortization schedule. We originate adjustable-rate nonresidential real
estate loans with terms up to 30 years. Interest rates and payments on most of these loans typically adjust annually
after an initial fixed term of five or seven years. Interest rates and payments on these loans generally are based on
the prime interest rate. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased is generally two
percentage points per adjustment period and the lifetime interest rate cap is six percentage points over the initial
interest rate of the loan (five percentage points for loans with three-year terms). Loans are secured by first
mortgages that generally do not exceed 80% of the propertys appraised value (75% for land only loans). When
the borrower is a corporation, partnership or other entity, we generally require that significant equity holders serve
as co-borrowers or as personal guarantors of the loan.
Loans secured by nonresidential real estate generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of
risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in nonresidential real estate lending
is the borrowers creditworthiness and the feasability and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans
secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result,
repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than one- to four-family residential real estate loans to
adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. To monitor cash flows on income properties, we
require borrowers and loan guarantors of loan relationships totaling more than $1.0 million, in the aggregate, to
provide annual financial statements and/or tax returns. In reaching a decision on whether to make a nonresidential
real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise, credit history and
profitability and the value of the underlying property. In addition, with respect to rental properties, we will also
consider the term of the lease and the credit quality of the tenants. We have generally required that the properties
securing these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt
service) of at least 1.20x. Environmental surveys and inspections are generally required for loans over $500,000.
We also originate loans secured by unimproved property, including lots for single family homes and for
mobile homes, raw land, commercial property and agricultural property. The terms and rates of our land loans are
the same as our nonresidential and multifamily real estate loans. Loans secured by undeveloped land or improved
42
lots generally involve greater risks than residential mortgage lending because land loans are more difficult to
evaluate. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, in the event of default and foreclosure, we may be
confronted with a property the value of which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Loan amounts generally do
not exceed 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price.
At September 30, 2005, we had $49.5 million in nonresidential real estate loans outstanding, or 24.0% of
total loans, and $9.7 million in land loans outstanding, or 4.6% of total loans.
At September 30, 2005, the largest outstanding nonresidential real estate loan had an outstanding balance
of $2.9 million. This loan is a participation loan in which we have a 4.3% interest. This loan is secured by truck
terminals located in 26 states across the United States and was performing according to its original terms at
September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, our largest land loan, which was performing according to its original
terms at that date, was for $1.5 million and was secured by a mobile home park.
Construction Loans. We originate fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans to individuals and, to a lesser
extent, builders to finance the construction of residential dwellings. We also make construction loans for
commercial development projects, including apartment buildings, restaurants, shopping centers and owner-
occupied properties used for businesses. Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only
during the construction phase, which is usually nine months for residential properties and 12 months for
commercial properties. At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent mortgage
loan. Loans generally can be made with a maximum loan to value ratio of 95% on residential construction and
80% on commercial construction at the time the loan is originated. Before making a commitment to fund a
construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We also will
require an inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan.
At September 30, 2005, our largest outstanding residential construction loan was for $440,000, of which
$283,000 was outstanding. At September 30, 2005, our largest outstanding commercial construction loan was for
$500,000, of which $167,000 was outstanding. This loan is secured by a medical professional building. These
loans were performing in accordance with their original terms at September 30, 2005.
Commercial Loans. We occasionally make commercial business loans to professionals, sole
proprietorships and small businesses in our market area. We extend commercial business loans on an unsecured
basis and secured basis, the maximum amount of which is limited by our in-house-loans-to one borrower limit.
We originate secured and unsecured commercial lines of credit to finance the working capital needs of
businesses to be repaid by seasonal cash flows or to provide a period of time during which the business can borrow
funds for planned equipment purchases. Secured commercial lines of credit secured by nonresidential real estate
are adjustable-rate loans and whose rates are based on the prime interest rate and adjust monthly. Commercial
lines of credit secured by nonresidential real estate have a maximum term of five years and a maximum loan-to-
value ratio of 80% of the pledged collateral when the collateral is commercial real estate. We also originate
commercial lines of credit secured by marketable securities and unsecured lines of credit. These lines of credit, as
well as certain commercial lines of credit secured by nonresidential real estate, require that only interest be paid
on a monthly or quarterly basis and have a maximum term of five years.
We also originate secured and unsecured commercial loans. Secured commercial loans are generally
collateralized by nonresidential real estate, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory,
industrial/commercial machinery and equipment and furniture and fixtures. We originate both fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate commercial loans with terms up to 20 years for secured loans and up to five years for unsecured
loans. Adjustable-rate loans are based on prime and adjust either monthly or annually. Where the borrower is a
corporation, partnership or other entity, we generally require significant equity holders to be co-borrowers and in
cases where they are not co-borrowers we require personal guarantees from significant equity holders.
43
When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial statements and/or tax returns of the
borrower, the borrowers payment history of both corporate and personal debt, the debt service capabilities of the
borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the viability of the industry in which the customer operates and
the value of the collateral.
At September 30, 2005, our largest commercial loan was a $649,000 loan secured by the assets of a local
privately owned utility company. This loan was performing in accordance with its original terms at September 30,
2005.
Consumer Loans. We offer a variety of consumer loans, primarily home equity loans and lines of
credit, and, to a much lesser extent, loans secured by savings accounts or certificate of deposits (share loans), new
farm and garden equipment, automobile and recreational vehicle loans and secured and unsecured personal loans.
The procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of the applicants payment history
on other debts and ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although the
applicants creditworthiness is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the
value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount.
We generally offer home equity loans and lines of credit with a maximum combined loan to value ratio of
90%. Home equity lines of credit have adjustable-rates of interest that are based on the prime interest rate. Home
equity lines of credit generally require that only interest be paid on a monthly basis and have terms up to 20 years.
Interest rates on these loans typically adjust monthly. We offer fixed-rate and adjustable-rate home equity loans.
Home equity loans with fixed-rates have terms that range from one to 15 years. Home equity loans with
adjustable-rates have terms that range from 16 to 30 years. Interest rates on these loans are based on the prime
interest rate. We hold a first mortgage position on most of the homes that secure our home equity loans and home
equity lines of credit.
We offer loans secured by new and used vehicles. These loans have fixed interest rates and generally have
terms up to five years.
We offer loans secured by new and used boats, motor homes, campers and motorcycles. We offer fixed
and adjustable-rate loans for new motor homes and boats with terms up to 20 years for adjustable-rate loans and up
to 10 years for fixed-rate loans. We offer fixed-rate loans for all other new and used recreational vehicles with
terms up to 10 years for campers and five years for motorcycles.
We offer secured consumer loans with fixed interest rates and terms up to 10 years and secured lines of
credit with adjustable-rates based on prime with terms up to five years. We also offer fixed-rate unsecured
consumer loans and lines of credit with terms up to five years. For more information on our loan commitments,
see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsLiquidity
Management.
Loan Underwriting Risks
Adjustable-Rate Loans. While we anticipate that adjustable-rate loans will better offset the adverse
effects of an increase in interest rates as compared to fixed_rate mortgages, the increased mortgage payments
required of adjustable-rate loan borrowers in a rising interest rate environment could cause an increase in
delinquencies and defaults. The marketability of the underlying property also may be adversely affected in a high
interest rate environment. In addition, although adjustable-rate mortgage loans help make our loan portfolio more
responsive to changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the annual and lifetime
interest rate adjustment limits.
44
Multi-Family and Nonresidential Real Estate and Land Loans. Loans secured by multi-family
and nonresidential real estate generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to
four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in multi-family and nonresidential real estate lending
is the borrowers creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans
secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result,
repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in
the real estate market or the economy. To monitor cash flows on income properties, we require borrowers and loan
guarantors of loan relationships totaling more than $1.0 million, in the aggregate, to provide annual financial
statements and/or tax returns. In reaching a decision on whether to make a multi-family and nonresidential real
estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise, credit history and
profitability and the value of the underlying property. We have generally required that the properties securing
these real estate loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of
at least 1.20x. Environmental surveys and inspections are obtained when circumstances suggest the possibility of
the presence of hazardous materials.
We underwrite all loan participations to our own underwriting standards and will not participate in a loan
unless each participant has at least a 10% interest in the loan. In addition, we also consider the financial strength
and reputation of the lead lender. To monitor cash flows on loan participations, we require the lead lender to
provide annual financial statements for the borrower. Generally, we also conduct an annual internal loan review
for loan participations.
Construction Loans. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk
of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends
largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the propertys value at completion of construction and the
estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result
in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to
advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the building. If the estimate of
value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted, at or before the maturity of the loan, with a building having a
value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. If we are forced to foreclose on a building before or at
completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that we will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of,
and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.
Commercial Loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the
borrowers ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real
property the value of which tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans are of higher risk and typically
are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrowers business.
As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial loans may depend substantially on the
success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult
to appraise and may fluctuate in value.
Consumer Loans. Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans,
particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly. In such
cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for
the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts
against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrowers continuing financial
stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may
limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans.
Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales. Loan originations come from a number of sources. The
primary source of loan originations are existing customers, walk-in traffic, advertising and referrals from
customers. We advertise on television, on the radio and in newspapers that are widely circulated in Dearborn
45
County, Indiana. Accordingly, when our rates are competitive, we attract loans from throughout Dearborn County.
We occasionally purchase loans and participation interests in loans to supplement our origination efforts.
We generally originate loans for our portfolio but our current practice is to sell to the secondary market
almost all newly originated conforming fixed-rate, 15-, 20- and 30-year one- to four-family residential real estate
loans and to hold in our portfolio fixed-rate loans with 10-year terms or less and adjustable-rate loans. Our decision
to sell loans is based on prevailing market interest rate conditions and interest rate risk management. Generally,
loans are sold to Freddie Mac with servicing retained.
Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory,
underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our board of directors and management. The
board has granted the Management Mortgage Loan Committee (comprised of the President, Executive Vice
President and the Senior Vice President, Lending) with loan approval authority for mortgage loans up to $100,000
and to the Board Loan Committee up to $1 million.
The board has granted authority to approve consumer loans to certain employees up to prescribed limits,
depending on the officers experience and tenure. The board also granted loan approval authority to the
Management Consumer Loan Committee, consisting of the President and the Executive Vice President, the Senior
Vice President, Lending and the Vice President, Consumer Lending. Any two members of the committee may
approve consumer loans secured by real estate up to $250,000, consumer loans secured by assets other than real
estate up to $100,000 and unsecured consumer loans up to $50,000. The board of directors has also granted loan
approval authority to the Management Commercial Loan Committee, consisting of the President, the Executive
Vice President, the Senior Vice President, Lending and the Senior Vice President, Investments Officer and
Commercial Lending Officer. Any two members of the committee may approve commercial loans secured by real
estate up to $250,000, commercial loans secured by assets other than real estate up to $50,000 and unsecured
commercial loans up to $25,000. A majority of the Management Commercial Loan Committee may approve
commercial loans secured by real estate up to $500,000, commercial loans secured by assets other than real estate
up to $100,000 and unsecured commercial loans up to $50,000.
The Board Loan Committee, consisting of the President, the Executive Vice President and five to six other
members of the board, may approve consumer and commercial loans secured by real estate up to $1,000,000,
consumer and commercial loans secured by assets other than real estate up to $300,000 and unsecured consumer
commercial loans up to $100,000.
All loans in excess of these limits must be approved by the full board of directors.
Loans to One Borrower. The maximum amount that we may lend to one borrower and the borrowers
related entities generally is limited, by regulation, to 15% of our stated capital and reserves. At September 30,
2005, our general regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $4.5 million. On September 30, 2005, our largest
lending relationship was a $4.3 million commercial real estate loan relationship. The loans that comprise this
relationship were performing according to their original terms at September 30, 2005.
Loan Commitments. We issue commitments for fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans conditioned
upon the occurrence of certain events. Commitments to originate mortgage loans are legally binding agreements to
lend to our customers. Generally, our mortgage loan commitments expire after 30 days.
Investment Activities
We have legal authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations,
securities of various federal agencies and municipal governments, deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis and certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions. Within certain regulatory limits, we also
46
may invest a portion of our assets in mutual funds. We also are required to maintain an investment in Federal
Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis stock. While we have the authority under applicable law to invest in derivative
securities, our investment policy does not permit this investment. We had no investments in derivative securities at
September 30, 2005.
At September 30, 2005, our investment portfolio totaled $80.6 million and consisted primarily of U.S.
Government sponsored entity securities and mortgage-backed securities issued primarily by Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac and Ginnie Mae, securities of municipal governments, corporate debt securities and mutual funds that invest
in adjustable-rate mortgages and U.S. Treasury obligations.
At September 30, 2005, $27.5 million of our investment portfolio consisted of callable securities. These
securities contain either a one-time call option or may be called anytime during the life of the security. We face
reinvestment risk with callable securities, particularly during periods of falling market interest rates when issuers
of callable securities tend to call or redeem their securities. Reinvestment risk is the risk that we may have to
reinvest the proceeds from called securities at lower rates of return than the rates paid on the called securities.
Our investment objectives are to provide and maintain liquidity, to establish an acceptable level of interest
rate and credit risk, to provide an alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to
generate a favorable return. The Investment Committee is responsible for the implementation of the investment
policy. The Management Investment Committee, consisting of the President and Chief Executive Officer, the
Chief Operating Officer and the Senior Vice President, Investment Officer, is responsible for monitoring our
investment performance. Individual investment transactions, portfolio composition and performance are reviewed
by our board of directors monthly.
Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
General. Deposits, borrowings and loan repayments are the major sources of our funds for lending and
other investment purposes. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and
outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions.
Deposit Accounts. Substantially all of our depositors are residents of the State of Indiana. We attract
deposits in our market area through advertising and through our website. We offer a broad selection of deposit
instruments, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts (such as checking accounts), interest-bearing
accounts (such as NOW and money market accounts), regular savings accounts and certificates of deposit.
Municipal deposits comprise a substantial portion of our total deposits. At September 30, 2005, $139.2 million, or
48.1% of our total deposits were municipal deposits. At September 30, 2005, we did not utilize brokered deposits.
Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on
deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of our deposit accounts, we consider
the rates offered by our competition, our liquidity needs, profitability to us, matching deposit and loan products and
customer preferences and concerns. We generally review our deposit mix and pricing weekly. Our current
strategy is to offer competitive rates and to be in the middle of the market for rates on all types of deposit products.
Borrowings. We may utilize advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis to supplement
our supply of investable funds. The Federal Home Loan Bank functions as a central reserve bank providing credit
for its member financial institutions. As a member, we are required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan
Bank and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of our whole first mortgage
loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States),
provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are made under several different
programs, each having its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the
amount of advances are based either on a fixed percentage of an institutions net worth or on the Federal Home
Loan Banks assessment of the institutions creditworthiness.

In 2003, we purchased the oldest three-story brick building in the State of Indiana, renovated it and
moved our headquarters there in 2004. In addition to our main office, we operate from three additional locations
in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. In the beginning of 2004, our Board of Directors made the strategic decision to expand
into other select markets in Dearborn County, Indiana and adjacent Ripley County, Indiana. In April 2004, we
purchased land in Aurora and St. Leon, Indiana and in May 2004 purchased land in Milan, Indiana (Ripley
County), each for the purpose of opening a full-service branch office. We opened a limited-service branch office in
a temporary facility across the street from the Aurora property in August 2005 and we are in the process of
building a permanent full-service facility for the Aurora branch on the Aurora property. We expect the Aurora full-
service branch office to be completed in June 2006. In addition, we intend to build and open a full-service branch
office on the St. Leon, Indiana property, which we also expect will be completed in June 2006. In addition, we
expect to open a full-service branch office on the Milan, Indiana property in 2007.
48
Personnel
As of September 30, 2005, we had 65 full-time employees and eight part-time employees, none of whom is
represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe our relationship with our employees is good.
Legal Proceedings
Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens and
contracts, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the
making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not a party to any
pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows.
Subsidiaries
United Community Banks only active subsidiary is United Community Bank Financial Services, Inc.
United Community Bank Financial Services, Inc. receives commissions from the sale of non-deposit investment
and insurance products.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The objective of this section is to help potential investors understand our results of operations and
financial condition. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the
financial statements that appear at the end of this prospectus.
Overview
Income. Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the
difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and securities, and interest
expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Other
significant sources of pre-tax income are service charges on deposit accounts and other loan fees. In addition, we
recently created a relationship with Lincoln Financial Advisors that allows us to provide non-deposit investment
products and services to our community which has enabled us to increase our fee income, and we recognize
income or losses from the sale of investments in years that we have such sales.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable
credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses,
which is charged to income. Charge-offs, if any, are charged to the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience,
the nature and value of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations, and estimated collateral
values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocation of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the
entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged off.
Expenses. The noninterest expenses we incur in operating our business consist of salaries and employee
benefits expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising and public relations expenses and various other
miscellaneous expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll
taxes and expenses for health insurance and other employee benefits. Following the offering, we will recognize
additional annual employee compensation expenses stemming from the adoption of new stock-based benefit plans.
We cannot determine the actual amount of these new stock-related compensation and benefit expenses at this time
49
because applicable accounting practices require that they be based on the fair market value of the shares of
common stock at specific points in the future. For an illustration of these expenses, see Pro Forma Data.
Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment,
consist primarily of depreciation charges, furniture and equipment expenses, maintenance, real estate taxes and
costs of utilities. Depreciation of premises and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the
useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to 40 years.
Advertising and public relations expenses include expenses for print, radio and television advertisements,
promotions, third-party marketing services and premium items.
Regulatory fees and deposit insurance premiums are primarily payments we make to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation for insurance of our deposit accounts.
Other expenses include expenses for supplies, telephone and postage, data processing, contributions and
donations, director and committee fees, insurance and surety bond premiums and other fees and expenses.
Following the offering, our noninterest expenses are likely to increase as a result of operating as a public
company. These additional expenses will be primarily legal and accounting fees, expenses necessary to comply
with the internal control over financial reporting provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and expenses related to
stockholder communications and meetings.
We also expect that noninterest expenses will increase as a result of our strategy to expand our branch
network. These additional expenses will be primarily salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment
expenses. Over time, we anticipate that we will generate sufficient income to offset the expenses related to our new
facilities and new employees, but we cannot assure you that our branch expansion will increase our earnings or that
it will increase our earnings within a reasonable period of time.
In addition, our contribution to the charitable foundation will be an additional operating expense that will
reduce net income during the fiscal quarter in which the foundation is established and, as a result, we expect to
record a loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that
have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting
policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies: allowance for loan losses and deferred
income taxes.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as
necessary to cover probable credit losses in the loan portfolio at the statement of financial condition date. The
allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the
amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material
estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash
flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements
of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the
allowance on a quarterly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the
portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan
portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses,
future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the
assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its
examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize
adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its
examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance,
50
which would negatively affect earnings. For additional discussion, see note 1 of the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included in this prospectus.
Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as
prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If
current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is
established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise
significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets.
These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in
determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as
regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record
a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance would result in additional income tax
expense in the period, which would negatively affect earnings.
Operating Strategy
Our mission is to operate and grow a profitable, independent
community-oriented financial institution
serving primarily retail customers and small businesses in our market areas. After the reorganization, we plan to
continue our strategy of:
| expanding our branch network and upgrading our existing branches; |
| pursuing opportunities to increase and diversify our loan portfolio in our expanding market areas; |
| increasing core deposits through the expansion of our branch network and new deposit products; |
| continuing to increase our sale of non-deposit investment products and services; and |
| applying disciplined underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan portfolio. |
Expanding our branch network and upgrading our existing branches
Since our merger in 1999, we have opened two new branches and are leasing a third new temporary
modular branch in Aurora, Indiana until the permanent branch construction is complete in June 2006. In
addition to these branches, we have acquired two more branch sites and intend to have a branch open in St. Leon,
Indiana in June 2006 and one in Milan, Indiana open in 2007. We expect the total cost of the land and
construction for the new Aurora location to be approximately $1.8 million, of which approximately $1.2 million
had been incurred at September 30, 2005. We have entered into an agreement to lease part of the Aurora property
for $88,000 per year until March 2008, when the lessee will purchase that portion of the Aurora property for
$750,000. We expect the total cost of the land and construction for the new St. Leon location to be approximately
$1.0 million, of which $250,000 had been incurred at September 30, 2005. We purchased the site in Milan for a
cost of $135,000 and expect the total cost, including improvements, to be approximately $750,000.
In connection with the addition of three new branches to our branch network, we expect to need to hire
approximately 20 new employees to support our expanded infrastructure, eight of whom have been hired through
September 30, 2005.
The new branches have been and are expected to continue to be, funded by cash generated by our business.
Consequently, we do not expect to borrow funds for these expansion projects. Furthermore, funding for these
expansion projects is not contingent on this offering. We may continue to upgrade our current branch facilities and
may pursue further expansion in Southeastern Indiana, Northern Kentucky or Southwest Ohio in future years
51
through de novo branching, branch acquisitions and acquisitions of other financial institutions. See Risk
FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessWe may not be able to successfully implement our plans for growth and
We are expanding our branch network into geographic markets in which we have no previous experience.
52
Pursuing opportunities to increase and diversify our lending portfolio in our expanding
market areas
In recent years we have sought to diversify our loan portfolio beyond residential mortgage loans. In
particular, since June 30, 2003, our multi-family and nonresidential real estate, commercial business and
construction loan portfolio has increased $42.2 million, or 109.6%, and at September 30, 2005 was 38.5% of our
total loan portfolio. During this period, we have taken advantage of the significant growth in both residential and
nonresidential real estate development in our market and have originated loans in other market areas. With the
additional capital raised in the offering, we expect to continue to expand all of our lending activities and, in
particular, intend to continue to pursue the larger lending relationships associated with multi-family and
nonresidential real estate and construction lending opportunities. We expect that our loan portfolio, including our
multi-family and nonresidential real estate, commercial business and construction loan portfolio, will continue to
increase. For a discussion of the risks related to our commercial and construction loan portfolio, see Risk
FactorsRisks Related to Our BusinessOur increased emphasis on commercial and construction lending may
expose us to increased lending risk and Our BusinessLending ActivitiesLoan Underwriting Risks.
Increasing core deposits through the expansion of our branch network and new deposit
products
Historically, retail deposits are our primary source of funds for investing and lending. However, in recent
years, we have increased our reliance on municipal deposits significantly. These municipal deposits represent tax
and other revenues from the local gaming industry. Currently, our core deposits, which include all deposit account
types except certificates of deposit and municipal deposits. Core deposits are generally lower cost to us than
certificate of deposit accounts, and they are generally less sensitive to withdrawal when interest rates fluctuate. At
September 30, 2005, core deposits represented 15.7% of our total deposits. We believe that our expanding branch
network and offering new deposit and savings products will contribute to increasing core deposits.
Continuing to increase non-interest income
Our profits rely heavily on the spread between the interest earned on loans and securities and interest paid
on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. In order to decrease our reliance on interest rate spread
income, we have pursued initiatives to increase noninterest income. Our primary recurring source of non-interest
income has been services charges on deposit products and other services. In addition, we now offer non-deposit
investment products through a third party registered broker-dealer, Lincoln Financial Advisors. In connection
with our expanding branch network, we intend to continue to increase our sale of non-deposit investment products
and expect to increase service charge income.
Applying disciplined underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan
portfolio
We believe that high asset quality is a key to long-term financial success. We have sought to grow and
diversify the loan portfolio, while maintaining a high level of asset quality and moderate credit risk, using
underwriting standards, that we believe are conservative, and diligent monitoring and collection efforts. At June
30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, our nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans and accruing loans which are 90 or
more days delinquent) were 0.72% and 0.73% of our total loan portfolio, respectively. Although we intend to
continue our efforts to originate multi-family and nonresidential real estate, commercial business and construction
loans after the reorganization, we intend to continue our philosophy of managing large loan exposure through our
conservative approach to lending.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by real estate. We originate one-
to four-family residential loans, multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans and construction loans. To a
lesser extent, we originate commercial and consumer loans.
53
The largest segment of our loan portfolio is one- to four-family residential loans. At September 30, 2005,
these loans totaled $111.5 million, or 53.1% of total gross loans. At June 30, 2005, these loans totaled $109.3
million, or 53.2% of total loans, compared to $107.6 million, or 58.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2004 and $99.0
million, or 66.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2003. The size of our one- to four-family residential loan portfolio has
increased over this period as new originations outpaced payoffs during the recent refinancing boom. As a
percentage of the total loan portfolio, one- to four-family residential loans have decreased as we grew other
segments of the portfolio.
Multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans totaled $72.5 million and represented 34.5% of total
loans at September 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, these loans totaled $70.9 million, or 34.5% of total loans,
compared to $59.2 million, or 32.4% of total loans, at June 30, 2004 and $34.8 million, or 23.5% of total loans, at
June 30, 2003. Our multi-family and nonresidential real estate loan portfolio increased over the period as a result
of our efforts to diversify our total loan portfolio.
Construction loans totaled $4.4 million, or 2.1% of total loans at September 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005,
these loans totaled $5.9 million, or 2.9% of total loans, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.6% of total loans, at June
30, 2004 and $1.6 million, or 1.1% of total loans, at June 30, 2003. Our construction loan portfolio decreased in
the third quarter of 2005 primarily as a result of large construction loans converting to amortizing loans. Between
June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2005, the portfolio increased by $4.7 million as a result of the origination of several
large construction loans.
Commercial business loans totaled $3.9 million, or 1.8% of total loans at September 30, 2005. At June
30, 2005, these loans totaled $5.0 million, or 2.4% of total loans, compared to $2.1 million, or 1.1% of total loans,
at June 30, 2004 and $2.1 million, or 1.4% of total loans, at June 30, 2003. Commercial business loans decreased
$1.1 million, or 22.9% in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as a result of the payoff of a sizeable commercial
business loan and increased $2.9 million, or 140.1%, in the year ended June 30, 2005 as a result of our efforts to
increase our commercial business loan portfolio.
Consumer loans totaled $17.6 million, or 8.5% of total loans at September 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005,
these loans totaled $12.8 million, or 6.2% of total loans, compared to $12.6 million, or 6.9% of total loans, at
June 30, 2004 and $10.5 million, or 7.1% of total loans, at June 30, 2003.

Securities. Our securities portfolio consists primarily of callable U.S. government agency bonds and
U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities. Securities increased $43.0 million, or 116.8%, in the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of our investing $60.0 million in municipal deposits. In the years
ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, our securities decreased $18.1 million and $35.7 million, respectively,
primarily as a result of our efforts to increase our loan portfolios. Our callable securities consist of U.S.
government agency bonds which contain either a one-time call option or may be callable anytime during the life of
the security.

Deposits. Our primary source of funds is our deposit accounts, which are comprised
of noninterest-
bearing accounts, interest-bearing NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts and certificates of
deposit. These deposits are provided primarily by individuals within our market areas. However in recent years,
we
have increased our municipal deposits significantly. Deposits decreased $10.2 million, or 3.4%, for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of municipal deposit withdrawals. During the year ended June 30,
2005, our deposits increased by $71.4 million, or 31.3%, primarily as a result of increased municipal deposits
which exceeded the decrease in certificates of deposit. The increase in municipal deposits is primarily attributable

million in deposits received from a local municipality. Deposits decreased in the year ended June 30,

Net income increased $31,000, or 5.8%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to the
quarter ended September 30, 2004. Factors that contributed to the increase in net income were an increase in net
interest income of $100,000 due primarily to an increase in interest earning assets of $57.3 million from $249.9
million in September 2004 to $307.3 million in 2005, as compared to an increase in interest-bearing liabilities of
$46.9 million from $243,880 in September 2004 to $290,825 in September 2005, an increase in other income in
the amount of $40,000 and an increase in other expenses in the amount of $67,000.
Net Interest Income.
Net interest income increased $100,000, or 4.5%, to $2.3 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2005. Total interest income increased $920,000, or 28.7%, to $4.1 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2005, as both interest income on loans increased and interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets
increased. Interest income on loans increased 16.6% to $3.2 million between the periods nonwithstanding a slight
decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio due to an increase in the average balance of loans in the quarter.
The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased as a result of the continuation of the low interest rate
environment that began in 2001. Interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets increased 94.2% to
$1.0 million, as both average balances and average yields increased.
Total interest expense increased $820,000, or 82.1%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2005 due to an 86 basis point increase in average deposit costs and a $46.9 million increase in average balances.
The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased 19.2 % to $290.8 million, primarily as a result of an
increase in municipal deposits.

Average Balance and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of
assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning
assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average
yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the
average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. For purposes of this table, average
balances have been calculated using month-end balances, and nonaccrual loans are included in average balances
only. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of daily average balances has
caused any material differences in the information presented. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans
and are insignificant. Yields are not presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Any adjustments necessary to present
yields on a tax-equivalent basis are insignificant.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our
net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied
by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table,
changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated
proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

2005 v. 2004. Net income decreased $111,000, or 5.1%, for the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to
the year ended June 30, 2004. Net interest income increased and was offset by the increase in provision for loan
losses from $120,000 in 2004 to $857,000 in 2005.
2004 v. 2003. Net income decreased $659,000, or 23.4%, for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the year ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of the pre-tax gain of $1.2
million realized from the sale of the Banks former main office in 2003.
Net Interest Income.
2005 v. 2004. Net interest income increased by $461,000, or 5.5%, to $8.8 million in the year ended June
30, 2005. Total interest income increased $982,000, or 7.9%, to $13.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, as
interest income on loans increased while interest income on securities decreased and interest income on other
assets increased. Interest income on loans increased 18.1% to $11.5 million between the periods due to an increase
in average balances while average yields remained nearly the same. Interest income on securities decreased 28.6%
65
to $2.0 million between the periods due to a decrease in average yield and a decrease in average balance as funds
were deployed into the loan portfolio.
Total interest expense increased $521,000 or 12.6% to $4.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2005, due
primarily to a 14 basis point increase in average deposit costs and a $10.9 million increase in average balances.
The increase in average balances was caused by a $15.1 million increase in municipal deposits and a $9.3 million
decrease in certificates of deposit.
2004 v. 2003. Net interest income increased by $434,000, or 5.5%, to $8.4 million in the year ended June
30, 2004. Total interest income decreased $1.5 million, or 10.9%, to $12.5 million for the year ended June 30,
2003 due to a decrease in interest income on loans. Interest income on loans decreased 10.6% to $9.4 million and
interest income on securities decreased 11.9% to $2.7 million between the periods as decreases in yields more than
offset the increases in both portfolio balances. Total interest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 32.1%, to $4.2
million for the year ended June 30, 2004 due primarily to a reduction in interest rates that more than offset the
growth in deposits. During this period, our certificates of deposit, NOW and money market deposit accounts and
passbook accounts experienced decreases in average costs by 1.10%, 0.40% and 0.74%, respectively.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances
of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning
assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting
annualized average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income
or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. For purposes of

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our
net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied
by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table,
changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated
proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses.
2005 v. 2004. The provision for loan losses was $857,000 in 2005 compared to $120,000 in 2004. The
provision for loan losses increased in 2005 primarily as a result of increases in the portfolios of nonresidential real
estate and land loans, multi-family loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, all of
which are generally considered to have greater inherent credit risk than one- to four-family mortgage loans. As a
result of the increases in these portfolios, one- to four-family mortgage loans to as a percentage of total loans
decreased. Increases in non-performing loans and net charge-offs during 2005 also contributed to the increase in
the provision for loan losses.
2004 v. 2003. The provision for loan losses was $120,000 in 2004 compared to $620,000 in 2003. The
provision for loan losses in 2004 decreased due to lower net charge-offs in 2004 compared to 2003.
An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is presented under Risk
ManagementAnalysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses.

Risk Management
Overview. Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our most
prominent risk exposures are credit risk, interest rate risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting
the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Interest rate risk is the potential
reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Market risk arises from fluctuations in
interest rates that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities,
that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Other risks that we face are operational risks, liquidity risks and
reputation risk. Operational risks include risks related to fraud, regulatory compliance, processing errors,
technology and disaster recovery. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, lenders or
borrowers. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could cause a decline in
our customer base or revenue.
Credit Risk Management. Our strategy for credit risk management focuses on having well-defined
credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans. This
strategy also emphasizes the origination of one- to four-family mortgage loans, which typically have lower default
rates than other types of loans and are secured by collateral that generally tends to appreciate in value.
When a borrower fails to make a required loan payment, we take a number of steps to attempt to have the
borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. When the loan becomes 15 days past due, a
late charge notice is generated and sent to the borrower and phone calls are made. If payment is not then received
by the 30th day of delinquency, a further notification is sent to the borrower. If no successful workout can be
achieved, after a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, we may commence foreclosure or other legal proceedings. If a
foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full, or refinanced before the foreclosure
sale, the real property securing the loan generally is sold at foreclosure. We may consider loan workout
arrangements with certain borrowers under certain circumstances.
Management reports to the Board of Directors monthly regarding the amount of loans delinquent more
than 30 days, all loans in foreclosure and all foreclosed and repossessed property that we own.
Analysis of Nonperforming and Classified Assets. We consider repossessed assets and loans that
are 90 days or more past due to be nonperforming assets. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when
they become 90 days delinquent at which time the accrual of interest ceases and the allowance for any uncollectible
accrued interest is established and charged against operations. Typically, payments received on a nonaccrual loan
are applied to the outstanding principal and interest as determined at the time of collection of the loan.
Real estate that we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as
foreclosed assets until it is sold. When property is acquired, it is initially recorded at the lower of its cost, or
market, less estimate selling expenses. Holding costs and declines in fair value after acquisition of the property
result in charges against income.
The following table provides information with respect to our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.
We did not have any troubled debt restructurings at the dates presented.

Federal regulations require us to review and classify our assets on a regular basis. In addition, the Office
of Thrift Supervision has the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified.
There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. Substandard assets must have
one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if
the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts,
conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered
uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The
regulations also provide for a special mention category, described as assets which do not currently expose us to a
sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses
deserving our close attention. When we classify an asset as special mention, substandard or doubtful, we establish a
specific allowance for loan losses. If we classify an asset as loss, we allocate an amount equal to 100% of the portion of the
asset classified loss.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses
is a valuation allowance for probable credit losses in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish
allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for
loan losses is charged to earnings. The recommendations for increases or decreases to the allowance are presented
by management to the Board of Directors.
72
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of: (1) a
specific allowance on identified problem loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan
portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for
loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.
Specific Allowance Required for Identified Problem Loans. We establish an allowance on
certain identified problem loans based on such factors as: (1) the strength of the customers personal or business
cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value
of collateral; (5) the strength of our collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the
borrowers effort to cure the delinquency.
General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish a general
allowance for loans that are not delinquent to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities. This
general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning percentages to
each category. The percentages are adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgment, affect the
collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in existing
general economic and business conditions affecting our primary lending areas and the national economy, staff
lending experience, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, specific reserve and classified
asset trends, delinquency trends and risk rating trends. These loss factors are subject to ongoing evaluation to
ensure their relevance in the current economic environment.
As a result of our systematic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the loss factors we
presently use to determine the reserve level were updated in 2005 based on various risk factors such as trends in
underperforming loans, trends and concentrations in loans and loan volume, economic trends in our market area,
particularly the impact of the gaming and tourism industry on the economy of our market area, the effect of which
has become significant in recent periods. In order to reflect trends in the composition of our loan portfolio and in
our recent historical loan loss experience, we increased the allowance percentage on certain loan categories which
demonstrated a higher risk of loss and decreased the allowance percentage on certain loan categories which
demonstrated a lower risk of loss. The update to the allowance percentages resulted in a decrease in the amount of
the allowance allocated to loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties and an increase in the amount
of the allowance allocated to loans secured by multi-family real estate, nonresidential real estate and loans,
commercial business loans and consumer loans.
We also identify loans that may need to be charged off as a loss by reviewing all delinquent loans,
classified loans and other loans that management may have concerns about collectibility. For individually
reviewed loans, the borrowers inability to make payments under the terms of the loan or a shortfall in collateral
value would result in our allocating a portion of the allowance to the loan that was impaired.
At September 30, 2005, our allowance for loan losses represented 1.09% of total gross loans and 150.1%
of nonperforming loans. At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the allowance for loan losses was $2.3
million.
At June 30, 2005, our allowance for loan losses represented 1.10% of total gross loans and 153.2% of
nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses increased $716,000 to $2.3 million at June 30, 2005 from
$1.6 million at June 30, 2004 due to the provision for loan losses of $857,000, partially offset by net charge-offs of
$141,000. The provision for loan losses in 2005 primarily reflects the application of the updated allowance factor
percentages to the increases in the portfolios of nonresidential real estate and land loans, commercial business
loans, construction loans and multi-family real estate loans, all of which have an inherently higher risk of loss
compared to one- to four-family mortgage loans.
At June 30, 2004, our allowance for loan losses represented 0.85% of total gross loans and 138.15% of
nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses increased from $1.5 million at June 30, 2003 to $1.6 million
at June 30, 2004 due to the provision for loan losses of $120,000, partially offset by net charge-offs of $54,000.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses,
future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and our results of operations could be
adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.
Furthermore, while we believe we have established our allowance for loan losses in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that the Office of Thrift Supervision, in reviewing our
loan portfolio, will not request us to increase our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may
require us to increase our allowance for loan losses based on judgments different from ours. In addition, because
future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that
increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.
Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.

Interest Rate Risk Management. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing
liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate
environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans
because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our
earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of
our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities and rates, while
maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Our strategy for managing interest rate risk emphasizes: adjusting
the maturities of borrowings; adjusting the investment portfolio mix and duration; and generally selling in the
secondary market newly originated conforming fixed-rate 15-, 20- and 30-year one- to four-family residential real
estate loans and available-for-sale securities. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate
swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments.
We have an Asset/Liability Committee, which includes members of management and Board members, to
communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management. The committee establishes
and monitors the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing
assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability
goals.
Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of interest rate fluctuations on
net interest income and net income.
Net Portfolio Value Analysis. We use a net portfolio value analyses prepared by the Office of Thrift
Supervision to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes
in net portfolio value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of
75
assumed changes in market interest rates. Net portfolio value represents the market value of portfolio equity and is
equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance
sheet items. These analyses assess the risk of loss in market risk-sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and
sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or 100 and 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect
given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. Because of the low level
of market interest rates, these analyses are not performed for decreases of more than 200 basis points.
The following table, which is based on information that we provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision,
presents the change in our net portfolio value at September 30, 2005 that would occur in the event of an immediate
change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions, with no effect given to any steps that we
might take to counteract that change.

The Office of Thrift Supervision uses various assumptions in assessing interest rate risk. These
assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates and the market values of certain
assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk,
certain shortcomings are inherent in the methods of analyses presented in the foregoing tables. 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 mortgage loans, have features that
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
deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact
on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or
falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the
rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments
tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these
assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual
future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.
Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a
short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of
securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan
demands; (2) expected deposit flows, in particular municipal deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning
deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
76
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating,
financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $18.3
million and $76.3 million at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. Securities classified as available-
for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $2.8 million
and $6.1 million at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. Total securities classified as available-for-
sale were $80.3 million and $38.1 million at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. In addition, at
June 30, 2005, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $85 million from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Indianapolis.
At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, we had $23.8 million and $19.9 million in loan commitments
outstanding, respectively. At September 30, 2005, this consisted of $9.7 million of mortgage loan commitments,
$12.9 million in unused home equity lines of credit and $1.2 million in commercial lines of credit. At September
30, 2005 we also had $3.2 million of letters of credit outstanding compared to $2.0 million at June 30, 2005. At
June 30, 2005, we had $6.7 million in mortgage loan commitments, $12.1 million in unused home equity lines of
credit and $1.1 million in commercial lines of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30,
2005 and June 30, 2005 totaled $76.7 million and $69.3 million, respectively. This represented 73.3% and 66.3%
of certificates of deposit at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. We believe the large percentage of
certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers hesitancy to invest their funds for long
periods in the current low interest rate environment. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be
required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on
market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently
pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2006. We believe, however, based on past experience,
that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain
deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activities are the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of securities.
Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our
local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to
increase core deposit relationships. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract
deposits.

Capital Management. As a mutual savings bank, we have managed our capital to maintain strong
protection for depositors and creditors. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include
both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets
and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, we exceeded all of
our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. See
Regulation and SupervisionRegulation of Federal Savings AssociationsCapital Requirements, Regulatory
Capital Compliance and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus.
This offering is expected to increase our consolidated equity by $26.4 million to $56.1 million at the
maximum of the offering. See Capitalization. Following completion of this offering, we also will manage our
capital for maximum stockholder benefit. The capital from the offering will significantly increase our liquidity and
capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the stock offering are
used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of lending activities. Our financial condition and results
of operations are expected to be enhanced by the capital from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-
earning assets and net income. However, the large increase in equity resulting from the capital raised in the
offering will, initially, have an adverse impact on our return on equity. Following the offering, we may use capital
management tools such as cash dividends and common share repurchases. However, under Office of Thrift
Supervision regulations, we will not be allowed to repurchase any shares during the first year following the
offering, except to fund the restricted stock awards under the equity incentive plan, unless extraordinary
circumstances exist and we receive regulatory approval.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of
financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in
our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and
liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers requests for funding and take the form of
loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit. For information about our loan commitments and unused
lines of credit, see note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. We currently have no plans to
engage in hedging activities in the future.
For the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 and as of the three months ended September 30,
2005, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This statement will require that all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized as compensation
costs in the financial statements based on their fair values. The effective date of this statement was delayed until
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt this standard as required, and management has not
calculated the effect on our financial statements as we have not adopted the employee stock ownership plan.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets, an amendment of
APB Opinion No. 29, which eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non-monetary exchanges
of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do
not have commercial substance. The statement defines a non-monetary exchange with commercial substance as one
in which the future cash flows of an entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS
No. 153 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Bank will adopt this statement as required,
and management does not believe the adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
position.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-5 Implicit Variable Interests
under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FSP FIN 46(R)-5 provides
guidance for a reporting enterprise that holds an implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and
is also a related party to other variable interest holders. This guidance requires that if the aggregate variable
interests held by the reporting enterprise and its related parties would, if held by a single party, identify that party
as the primary beneficiary, then the party within the related party group that is most closely associated with the
VIE is the primary beneficiary. The effective date of FSP FIN 46(R)-5 is the first reporting period ending after
December 15, 2005 with early application permitted for periods for which financial statements have not been
issued. The Bank does not believe that implementation of this FSP will have a material effect on its results of
operations or financial position as it does not have any Variable Interest Entities.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which
establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in
accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting
principle. The statement provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle is impracticable. The statement also addresses the reporting of a correction of error by
restating previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections
of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Bank will adopt this statement as required,
and management does not believe the adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial
position.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related financial data presented in this prospectus have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is
reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a
financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on
a financial institutions performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in
the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, the avoidance of conflicts of interest, full and
accurate disclosure and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Current Agreements
Employment Agreements. United Community Bank currently maintains employment agreements,
each dated as of July 1, 2005, with the following officers: William F. Ritzmann, President and Chief Executive
Officer, E.G. McLaughlin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and James W. Kittle, Senior
Vice President of Lending (collectively referred to as the executive or executives, as appropriate, in the
following paragraphs). The Bank also maintains similar employment agreements with additional executive
officers. The agreements with William Ritzmann and E.G. McLaughlin each provide for a three-year term, subject
to annual renewal by the board of directors for an additional year beyond the then current expiration date. The
agreement with Mr. Kittle has a two-year term, subject to annual renewal for an additional year.
The initial base salaries under the employment agreements are as follows: $123,301 for Mr. Ritzmann,
$111,371 for Mr. McLaughlin and $89,407 for Mr. Kittle. The agreements also provide for participation in
employee benefit plans and programs maintained by the Bank for the benefit of senior management personnel.
Upon a termination of an executives employment by United Community Bank for cause, as defined in the
agreement, the executive receives no further compensation or benefits under the agreement.
Upon termination by United Community Bank within one year of a change in control, as defined in the
agreement, or termination by the executive under circumstances constituting good reason for termination, as
outlined in the agreement, the Bank agrees to pay each executive an amount equal to the product of 2.99 and the
employees base amount as defined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code). Under Section 280G of the Code, the base amount equals the executives average annual taxable
compensation over the five years preceding termination of employment (or years of employment, if the executive is
employed for a lesser period of time). The Executive also receives continued coverage under all health, life,
disability and other benefit plans until the earlier of the expiration of the agreement term or the date the executive
becomes covered under another employers benefit plans. The agreements provide, however, that a mutual holding
company reorganization is not a change in control for purposes of the agreement.
If United Community Bank terminates the executives employment for reasons other than death, cause, or
upon a change in control, the executive receives base salary for the remaining term of the agreement, plus a cash
bonus equal to the cash bonus paid by the Bank during the 12-month period preceding the executives termination
of employment. United Community Bank also continues health, life, disability and other benefits through the
earlier of the agreement expiration date or coverage by another employer. Upon the death of the executive, the
agreement automatically expires and the executives estate receives an amount equal to three months of continued
base salary.
The agreements provide for the reduction of change in control payments to the executive to the extent
necessary to ensure that the executive would not receive an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the
Code that would result in the imposition of a 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. Upon an
executives voluntary termination of employment (other than for good reason in connection with a change in
control), the executive agrees not to engage in competitive business activities within Dearborn County, Indiana or
within thirty (30) miles of United Community Banks principal business office for the remaining term of the
agreement.
Proposed Company Employment Agreements. Upon completion of the offering, United
Community Bancorp will enter into employment agreements similar to the Banks existing agreements with
Messrs Ritzmann and McLaughlin and Ms. March. Ms. March has an employment agreement with a two-year
term, and an initial base salary of $86,451; the remaining provisions of her employment agreement are identical to
the agreements with Messrs. Ritzmann, McLaughlin and Kittle, as described above. These employment
agreements are intended to maintain a stable and competent management base after the offering, as the continued
85
success of United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank depends to a significant degree on the skills
and competence of these individuals. Under the employment agreements, United Community Bancorp will agree
to make any payments not made by the Bank under its employment agreements with the executives, but the
executives will not receive any duplicative payments.
Each employment agreement between United Community Bancorp and the executives will provide for the
same term lengths, annual renewal provisions and base salaries as the Bank agreements described above. The
agreements will also provide for, among other things, participation in stock-based benefit plans and fringe benefits.
As under the Bank agreements, each United Community Bancorp employment agreement will provide
that United Community Bancorp may terminate an executives employment for cause (as described in the
agreements) at any time, with no further benefits payable under the agreement following such termination. If
United Community Bancorp terminates the executives employment other than for cause or upon a change in
control, the executive or, upon his death, his beneficiary, will receive a payment equivalent to the executives base
salary for the remaining term of the agreement, plus the value of the cash bonus paid to the executive during the
12-month period preceding termination of employment. United Community Bancorp will also continue health,
life, disability and other benefits through the earlier of the agreement expiration date or coverage by another
employer. Upon the executives death during the agreement term, the agreement will automatically expire and the
executives estate will receive a payment equivalent to three months continued base salary.
Upon the executives involuntary termination or constructive termination (a termination with good
reason under circumstances outlined in the agreement) within one year of a change in control, under
circumstances identical to those discussed above in the Bank agreement, the Company will pay to each executive
an amount equal to the product of 2.99 and the executives base amount under Section 280G of the Code and
continue to cover the executive under all health and welfare benefit plans in which the executive participated prior
to termination, until the earlier of the expiration of the agreement term of the date of coverage by another
employer.
Each agreement will limit payments made to the executive in connection with a change in control to
amounts that will not exceed the requirements imposed by Section 280G of the Code, as discussed above. In
addition, the executive will agree not to compete with United Community Bank of United Community Bancorp for
the remaining term of the agreement following termination of employment (other than in connection with a change
in control). The agreements will become effective on the closing date of the offering.
Directors Retirement Plan. United Community Bank currently sponsors a Directors Retirement Plan.
Directors Nanz, Weismiller, G. Michael Seitz, Gehring, Miller, Meyer, Sprecher, Hacker, Strzynski, Ewbank, and
E.B. Seitz currently participate in the plan. Under the plan, a director who has completed at least three years of
service and has attained the benefit age (ranging from age 72 to age 80 years and 9 months) set forth in an
individual agreement under the plan is eligible to receive a retirement benefit of $20,000 per year for ten years,
payable in monthly installments for a total of 120 months. A participating director may also receive an early
retirement benefit upon termination of service after the completion of at least three years of service and attainment
of age 65. The early retirement benefit equals $10,000 per year for ten years upon retirement after age 65 but prior
to age 68, or $15,000 per year for ten years upon retirement after age 68 but prior to the designated benefit age.
Upon the death of a participating director prior to the completion of the applicable retirement benefit payments, the
Bank will pay any remaining benefits to the directors designated beneficiary. Upon a termination of service in
connection with a change in control, a participating director becomes entitled to the same retirement benefits the
director would have received if he has remained in service until reaching the benefit age, payable over a ten-year
period. The plan also provides that the Board of Directors may approve a disability benefit equal to the actuarially-
determined annuitized value of a directors benefit under the plan upon a termination of service due to disability.
In addition to the above benefits, the plan provides the directors beneficiary with a separate lump sum death
benefit of $10,000 for the payment of funeral expenses. In consideration for the benefits provided under the plan
and outlined above, a participating director agrees not to engage in certain competitive business activities while
serving as a director or following a termination of service for reasons other than a change in control. No benefits
are payable under the plan upon a termination of service for cause.
86
Director Emeritus Designation. The board of directors of United Community Bank, by resolution
dated April 11, 2002, provided that a director may be designated by the board as a director emeritus upon
termination of service (other than for cause), attainment of age 72, and upon the directors agreement to provide
advisory services and attend a minimum of three board meetings per year. Provided the director emeritus is not
receiving a retirement benefit under the Directors Retirement Plan outlined above, he or she is entitled to a
$20,000 annual fee. Directors emeriti may also participate in the medical and health benefit coverage provided to
non-employee directors of the Bank. Upon the death of a director emeritus, the surviving spouse may also continue
to receive such benefits by providing reimbursement to United Community Bank for the coverage costs until the
earliest of the termination of such insurance plan by the Bank, eligibility for benefits under another group
insurance plan, or remarriage. No directors currently serve in a director emeritus capacity.
Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreements. United Community Bank has entered
in Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreements (SERPs) with Messrs. Ritzmann, E.G. McLaughlin
and Kittle, as well as with certain other members of management. Benefits contemplated by the agreements may
be funded through the secular grantor trust agreements (see below under Grantor Trust Agreements or through
the rabbi trust (see below under Rabbi Trust Agreement) that have been established by United Community
Bank. The Bank makes contributions annually to the secular grantor trust on behalf of SERP participants. After
withholding taxes on these contributions, the remaining amounts are used to purchase life insurance or other
investment vehicles to fund the payment of the applicable SERP benefits. If a participant exercises withdrawal
rights with respect to the United Community Bank contributions made to the secular grantor trust, the Bank
continues to accrue phantom contributions to the grantor trust, but makes no further contributions to the secular
trust on the participants behalf. Upon termination of employment after age 65, SERP participants receive an
annual supplemental retirement benefit. The annual benefit amounts are $65,908 for Mr. Ritzmann, $62,585 for
E.G. McLaughlin and $52,076 for Mr. Kittle, payable over a period of 180 months. Upon termination of
employment following a change in control (regardless of age), participants become entitled to the full supplemental
retirement benefit, commencing at age 65 and payable for 180 months. Upon termination due to disability,
participants receive the accrued balance of the grantor trust as of their termination date in a lump sum payment.
Upon voluntary termination, United Community Bank makes no further contributions to the grantor trust, and the
participant receives the accrued balance of the grantor trust as of termination over the payout period of 180
months, beginning at age 65. In the event of the participants death, the designated beneficiary receives the
supplemental retirement benefit (or any remaining payments) as well as an additional lump sum benefit of $10,000
for the payment of funeral expenses. Upon termination for cause, United Community Bank makes no further
contributions to the grantor trust, and the participant receives the accrued balance held in the grantor trust upon
the earlier of death or age 65. In consideration for the payments described above, participants agree not to engage
in certain competitive business activities during and after their employment with United Community Bank (except
following termination in connection with a change in control).
Grantor Trust Agreements. In connection with the SERP, United Community Bank and participants
in the SERP discussed above have entered into secular Grantor Trust Agreements with an independent trustee.
Under each trust agreement, United Community Bank and the participant may make contributions to the trust for
the purpose of funding benefits payable under the SERP. Contributions made by United Community Bank are
taxable to the participants, who maintain certain withdrawal rights under the agreements. Exercise of withdrawal
rights, however, terminates United Community Banks obligation to make future contributions to the trust,
although the Bank will continue to accrue phantom contributions. Participants may also direct the investment of
contributions made to the trust on their behalf. Payments from the trust are made in accordance with the terms of
the SERPs described above.
Rabbi Trust. United Community Bank entered into a grantor or rabbi trust agreement with an
independent trustee effective as of April 1, 2002. The grantor trust has been established to hold assets that the
Bank may contribute for the purpose of making benefit payments under the Directors Retirement Plan and the
Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreements described above. Funds held in the trust remain at all
times subject to the claims of United Community Banks creditors in the event of the Banks insolvency.
87
Benefit Plans
401(k) Plan. We maintain the United Community Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a tax-qualified
defined contribution plan, for all employees of United Community Bank who have satisfied the plan eligibility
requirements. Participants become eligible to participate in the plan on the January 1st or July 1st following their
attainment of age 18 and completion of one year of service. Eligible employees may contribute up to 100% of their
compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. For 2005, the limit is $14,000; provided, however, that participants over age 50 may contribute an
additional $4,000 to the plan. Under the plan, the Bank makes matching contributions equal to 50% of a
participants deferral contributions up to a maximum of 10% of annual compensation, as well as additional
discretionary profit-sharing contributions, to the accounts of participants who have completed 500 hours of service
during the plan year. Participants are always 100% vested in their salary deferrals. Participants are 0% vested in
the Banks discretionary matching contributions until they have completed three years of service, at which time
they become 100% vested in those contributions.
Participants have individual accounts under the plan and may direct the investment of their accounts
among a variety of investment funds. In connection with the offering, the plan will add another investment
alternative, the United Community Bancorp Stock Fund. The stock fund will permit participants to invest up to
100% of their 401(k) plan funds in United Community Bancorp common stock. A participant who elects to
purchase common stock in the offering through the plan will receive the same subscription priority, and be subject
to the same individual purchase limitations, as if the participant had elected to purchase the common stock using
other funds. See The Reorganization and the Stock Offering Subscription Offering and Subscription Rights
and Limitations on Purchases of Shares. An independent trustee will purchase common stock in the offering
on behalf of plan participants, to the extent that shares are available. Participants will direct the trustee regarding
the voting of shares purchased for their plan accounts.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In connection with the reorganization, the Bank intends to adopt
an employee stock ownership plan for eligible employees. Eligible employees who have attained age 18 and are
employed by United Community Bank on the closing date of the offering will participate in the Plan as of the
closing date. Thereafter, new employees of United Community Bank will be eligible to participate in the employee
stock ownership plan upon the attainment of age 18 and the completion of one year of service.
We expect to engage a third party trustee to purchase, on behalf of the employee stock ownership plan,
3.92% of the total number of shares of United Community Bancorp common stock issued in the reorganization,
including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to the charitable foundation (21,320, 25,090,
28,850 and 33,180 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range,
respectively). We anticipate that the employee stock ownership plan will fund its purchase in the offering through
a loan from United Community Bancorp. The loan amount will equal 100% of the aggregate purchase price of the
common stock, and will be repaid principally through United Community Banks contributions to the employee
stock ownership plan and dividends payable on common stock held by the plan over the anticipated 15-year term of
the loan. The interest rate for the employee stock ownership plan loan is expected to be the prime rate, as
published in The Wall Street Journal on the closing date of the offering. See Pro Forma Data.
The trustee will hold the shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan in a loan suspense
account. Shares will be released from the suspense account on a pro rata basis as the Bank repays the employee
stock ownership plan loan. The trustee will allocate the shares released among participants on the basis of each
participants proportional share of compensation. Participant will vest 100% in their employee stock ownership
plan benefits upon the completion of three years of service. Participants also will become fully vested upon
retirement, death or disability, a change in control, or the termination of the plan. Participants will generally
receive distributions from the plan upon separation from service. Any unvested shares forfeited upon a
participants termination of employment will be reallocated among remaining participants, in accordance with the
terms of the plan.
88
Participants may direct the trustee regarding the voting of common stock credited to their employee stock
ownership plan accounts. The trustee will vote all allocated shares held in the plan as instructed by participants.
The trustee will vote unallocated shares, as well as allocated shares for which no participant instructions are
received, in the same ratio as those shares for which participants provide instructions, subject to the fiduciary
responsibilities of the trustee.
Under applicable accounting requirements, the Bank will record compensation expense for the leveraged
employee stock ownership plan at the fair market value of the shares when committed for release to participant
accounts. See Pro Forma Data.
The employee stock ownership plan must meet certain requirements of the Code and the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). We intend to request a favorable determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax-qualified status of the plan. We expect, but cannot
guarantee, the receipt of a favorable determination letter for the plan.
Employee Severance Compensation Plan. United Community Bank expects to adopt the United
Community Bank Employee Severance Compensation Plan in connection with the offering. The plan will provide
severance benefits to eligible employees who terminate employment in connection with a change in control of
United Community Bank or United Community Bancorp. Employees will be eligible for severance benefits under
the plan if they have a minimum of one year of service with United Community Bank and have not entered into an
employment or change in control agreement with United Community Bank or United Community Bancorp. Under
the severance plan, if, within 12 months of a change in control, United Community Bank or United Community
Bancorp or their successors terminate an employees employment or if the individual voluntarily terminates
employment upon the occurrence of events specified in the severance plan, the employee will receive a severance
payment equal to one months compensation for each year of service, up to a maximum payment of 199% of the
employees base compensation. Based solely on compensation levels as of December 31, 2004 and years of service
at September 30, 2005, and assuming that a change in control occurred on such date, and all eligible employees
became entitled to receive severance payments, the aggregate payments due under the severance plan would equal
approximately $1,451,455.45.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. In connection with the reorganization, United
Community Bank will establish a new supplemental executive retirement plan to provide certain supplemental
retirement benefits with respect to the employee stock ownership plan and the 401(k) plan. The plan will provide
participating executives with benefits that would otherwise be limited by certain provisions of the Code or the
terms of the employee stock ownership plan loan. Specifically, the plan will provide benefits to eligible officers
(those designated by the board of directors of United Community Bank) that cannot be provided under the 401(k)
plan or employee stock ownership plan, but for the Code limitations. In addition to providing benefits that would
otherwise be lost under the tax-qualified plans because of the Code limitations, the new plan will also provide
supplemental benefits upon a change in control prior to the scheduled repayment of the employee stock ownership
plan loan. Generally, upon a change in control, the supplemental executive retirement plan will provide
participants with a benefit equal to what they would have received under the employee stock ownership plan, had
they remained employed through the term of the loan, less the benefits actually provided to the participant under
the plan. United Community Bank anticipates that the board of directors will designate William F. Ritzmann and
E.G. McLaughlin as initial participants in the supplemental executive retirement plan. The board may designate
other individuals as participants in the future.
United Community Bank may also utilize a grantor trust in connection with the supplemental executive
retirement plan, as a means to set aside funds for the payment of benefits under the plan. Until paid to plan
participants, the assets of the grantor trust would remain subject to the claims of United Community Banks
creditors in the event of its insolvency.
Future Equity Incentive Plan. Following the reorganization, we may adopt an equity incentive plan
that will provide for grants of stock options and restricted stock. In accordance with applicable regulations, we
89
anticipate that the plan will authorize a number of stock options equal to 4.9% of the total shares issued in the
reorganization, including shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to the charitable foundation,
and shares of restricted stock equal to 1.96% of the total shares issued in the reorganization. Therefore, the
number of shares reserved under the plan will range from 10,660 shares, assuming 2,344,640 shares are sold in the
offering, to 14,430 shares, assuming 3,172,160 shares are sold in the offering.
We may fund the equity incentive plan through the purchase of United Community Bancorp common
stock in the open market by a trust established in connection with the plan or from authorized, but unissued, shares
of common stock. The acquisition of additional authorized, but unissued, shares by the equity incentive plan after
the offering would dilute the interests of existing stockholders. See Pro Forma Data.
We will grant all stock options at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the stock on
the grant date. We will grant restricted stock awards at no cost to recipients. Restricted stock awards and stock
options will generally vest ratably over a five-year period, or as otherwise permitted by the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS), but United Community Bancorp may also make vesting contingent upon the satisfaction of
performance goals established by the board of directors or the committee charged with administering the plan. All
outstanding awards will accelerate and become fully vested upon a change in control of United Community
Bancorp.
The equity incentive plan will comply with all applicable OTS regulations. We will submit the equity
incentive plan to stockholders for approval, at which time we will provide stockholders with detailed information
about the plan. Under current OTS regulations, the plan must be approved by a majority of the total votes eligible
to be cast by our stockholders, other than United Community MHC, unless we obtain a waiver that allows approval
by a different vote standard.
Transactions with United Community Bank
Loans and Extensions of Credit. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally prohibits loans by United
Community Bank to its executive officers and directors. However, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act contains a specific
exemption from such prohibition for loans by United Community Bank to its executive officers and directors in
compliance with federal banking regulations. Federal regulations require that all loans or extensions of credit to
executive officers and directors of insured institutions must be made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and
must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. United
Community Bank is therefore prohibited from making any new loans or extensions of credit to executive officers
and directors at different rates or terms than those offered to the general public. Notwithstanding this rule, federal
regulations permit United Community Bank to make loans to executive officers and directors at reduced interest
rates if the loan is made under a benefit program generally available to all other employees and does not give
preference to any executive officer or director over any other employee.
In addition, loans made to a director or executive officer in an amount that, when aggregated with the
amount of all other loans to the person and his or her related interests, are in excess of the greater of $25,000 or
5% of United Community Banks 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. See Regulation and
SupervisionRegulation of Federal Savings AssociationsTransactions with Related Parties.
The aggregate amount of loans by United Community Bank to its executive officers and directors was $3.3
million at September 30, 2005, or approximately 6.0% of pro forma stockholders equity, assuming that 3,172,160
shares are sold in the offering. These loans were performing according to their original terms at September 30,
2005.
90
Other Transactions
Ewbank Kramer & Dornette LLP of Lawrenceburg, Indiana, of which Robert J. Ewbank is a partner,
performs legal services for United Community Bank. Mr. Ewbank is also President and owner of Ewbank Land
Title, Inc., which performs title searches and provides title insurance for United Community Bank loans. In fiscal
2005, United Community Bank paid a total of $48,000 in legal fees to Ewbank Kramer & Dornette LLP and
$228,000 to Ewbank Land Title, Inc. for title searches and title insurance. George M. Seitz and Eugene B. Seitz
are officers and co-owners of Seitz Insurance Agency, Inc., an insurance agency to which United Community Bank
paid $120,000 in insurance premiums in fiscal 2005. There are no other transactions or series of similar
transactions between United Community Bank and any director or executive officer in which the amount involved
exceeds $60,000 since the beginning of United Community Banks last fiscal year, or which are currently
proposed.
Indemnification for Directors and Officers
United Community Bancorps bylaws provide that United Community Bancorp shall indemnify all
officers, directors and employees of United Community Bancorp to the fullest extent permitted under federal law
against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by them in connection with or arising out of any action, suit
or proceeding in which they may be involved by reason of their having been a director or officer of United
Community Bancorp. Such indemnification may include the advancement of funds to pay for or reimburse
reasonable expenses incurred by an indemnified party to the fullest extent permitted under federal law. Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of United Community Bancorp pursuant to its bylaws or otherwise, United Community
Bancorp has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Subscriptions by Executive Officers and Directors
The following table presents certain information as to the approximate anticipated purchases of common
stock by our directors and executive officers, including their associates, as defined by applicable regulations. No
individual has entered into a binding agreement to purchase these shares and, therefore, actual purchases could be
more or less than indicated. Directors and executive officers and their associates may not purchase more than 29%
of the shares sold in the reorganization to persons other than United Community MHC. For purposes of the
following table, sufficient shares are assumed to be available to satisfy subscriptions in all categories.

General
United Community Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of
Thrift Supervision, as its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as its deposits
insurer. United Community Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and its deposit accounts
are insured up to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund managed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. United Community Bank must file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining
regulatory approvals before entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other
financial institutions. There are periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and, under certain
circumstances, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to evaluate United Community Banks safety and
soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulatory structure is intended primarily
for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory
authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination
policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss
reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such policies, whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on United Community
Bancorp, United Community MHC and United Community Bank and their operations. United Community
Bancorp and United Community MHC, as savings and loan holding companies, will be required to file certain
reports with, will be subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the
Office of Thrift Supervision. United Community Bancorp will also be subject to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
Certain of the regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to United Community Bank, United
Community Bancorp and United Community MHC are described below. This description of statutes and
regulations is not intended to be a complete explanation of such statutes and regulations and their effects on United
Community Bank, United Community Bancorp and United Community MHC and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the actual statutes and regulations.
Regulation | of Federal Savings Associations |
Business Activities. Federal law and regulations, primarily the Home Owners Loan Act and the
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, govern the activities of federal savings banks, such as United
Community Bank. These laws and regulations delineate the nature and extent of the activities in which federal
savings banks may engage. In particular, certain lending authority for federal savings banks, e.g., commercial,
nonresidential real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified percentage of the institutions
capital or assets.
Branching. Federal savings banks are generally authorized to establish branch offices in any state or
states of the United States and its territories, subject to applicable notice or application requirements of the Office
of Thrift Supervision.
Capital Requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervisions capital regulations require federal savings
institutions to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital to total assets ratio; a 4% leverage
ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS examination rating system); and an 8%
risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in
effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest
rating on the CAMELS system) and, together with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based
capital standard. The Office of Thrift Supervision regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible, leverage
and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries
engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national bank.
93
The risk-based capital standard requires federal savings institutions to maintain Tier 1 (core) and total
capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%,
respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet
assets, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of
0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in
the type of asset. Core (Tier 1) capital is defined as common stockholders equity (including retained earnings),
certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card
relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term
perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the
allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45.0% of
unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the
amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100.0% of core capital.
The Office of Thrift Supervision also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements
in appropriate cases upon a determination that an institutions capital level is or may become inadequate in light of
the particular circumstances. At September 30, 2005, United Community Bank met each of these capital
requirements.
Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. The Office of Thrift Supervision is required to take certain
supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institutions
degree of undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk weighted
assets of less than 8.0%, a ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4.0% or a ratio of core
capital to total assets of less than 4.0% (3.0% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating) is
considered to be undercapitalized. A savings institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than
6.0%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3.0% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% is considered to be
significantly undercapitalized and a savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less
than 2.0% is deemed to be critically undercapitalized. Subject to a narrow exception, the Office of Thrift
Supervision is required to appoint a receiver or conservator within specified time frames for an institution that is
critically undercapitalized. An institution must file a capital restoration plan with the Office of Thrift
Supervision within 45 days of the date it receives notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. Compliance with the plan must be guaranteed by any parent
holding company. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an
undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on
growth, capital distributions and expansion. Significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized
institutions are subject to more extensive mandatory regulatory actions. The Office of Thrift Supervision could
also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and
the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
Loans to One Borrower. Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the
limits on loans to one borrower applicable to national banks. A savings institution may not make a loan or extend
credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15.0% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An
additional amount may be lent, equal to 10.0% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if secured by specified
readily-marketable collateral.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. As required by statute, the federal banking agencies have
adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness. The guidelines set forth the
safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured
depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the Office of Thrift Supervision determines that a
savings institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the Office of Thrift Supervision may
require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.
94
Limitation on Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations
upon all capital distributions by a savings institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares
and payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. Under the regulations, an application to
and the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision are required before any capital distribution if the
institution does not meet the criteria for expedited treatment of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision
regulations (i.e., generally, examination and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the
total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount of retained net
income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the
distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision.
If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision of
the capital distribution if, like United Community Bank, it is a subsidiary of a holding company. If United
Community Banks capital were ever to fall below its regulatory requirements or the Office of Thrift Supervision
notified it that it was in need of increased supervision, its ability to make capital distributions could be restricted.
In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital distribution that would otherwise be
permitted by the regulation, if the agency determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound
practice.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Federal law requires savings institutions to meet a qualified thrift
lender test. Under the test, a savings association is required to either qualify as a domestic building and loan
association under the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65.0% of its portfolio assets (total assets less:
(i) specified liquid assets up to 20.0% of total assets; (ii) intangibles, including goodwill; and (iii) the value of
property used to conduct business) in certain qualified thrift investments (primarily residential mortgages and
related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities) in at least 9 months out of each 12 month period.
A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is subject to certain operating restrictions and
may be required to convert to a bank charter. Recent legislation has expanded the extent to which education loans,
credit card loans and small business loans may be considered qualified thrift investments. As of September 30,
2005, United Community Bank maintained 94.6% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and,
therefore, met the qualified thrift lender test.
Transactions with Related Parties. United Community Banks authority to engage in transactions
with affiliates is limited by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act as implemented by the Federal Reserve Boards Regulation W. The term affiliates for these
purposes generally means any company that controls or is under common control with an institution. United
Community Bancorp, United Community MHC and their non-savings institution subsidiaries will be affiliates of
United Community Bank. In general, transactions with affiliates must be on terms that are as favorable to the
institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of transactions are restricted to
an aggregate percentage of the institutions capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided by
affiliates in order to receive loans from an institution. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending
to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings
institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits a company from making loans to its executive
officers and directors. However, that act contains a specific exception for loans by a depository institution to its
executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws. Under such laws, United Community
Banks authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10.0% stockholders (insiders), as well as
entities such persons control, is limited. The law restricts both the individual and aggregate amount of loans
United Community Bank may make to insiders based, in part, on United Community Banks capital position and
requires certain board approval procedures to be followed. Such loans must be made on terms substantially the
same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is
an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all
95
employees of the institution and does not give preference to insiders over other employees. There are additional
restrictions applicable to loans to executive officers.
Enforcement. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement responsibility over federal
savings institutions and has the authority to bring actions against the institution and all institution-affiliated
parties, including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly
participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action
may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors
to institution of receivership, conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide
range of violations and can amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1.0 million per day in especially egregious cases.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to recommend to the Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken
by the Director, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take such action under certain
circumstances. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.
Assessments. Federal savings banks are required to pay assessments to the Office of Thrift Supervision
to fund its operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are based upon the savings
institutions total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in the institutions latest quarterly thrift
financial report.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. United Community Bank is a member of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation maintains a risk-based assessment system by which
institutions are assigned to one of three categories based on their capitalization and one of three subcategories
based on examination ratings and other supervisory information. An institutions assessment rate depends upon
the categories to which it is assigned. Assessment rates for Savings Association Insurance Fund member
institutions are determined semi-annually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and currently range from
zero basis points of assessable deposits for the healthiest institutions to 27.00 basis points of assessable deposits for
the riskiest.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance assessments. A material
increase in Savings Association Insurance Fund insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the
operating expenses and results of operations of United Community Bank. Management cannot predict what
insurance assessment rates will be in the future.
In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds
issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association
Insurance Fund. During the four quarters ended September 30, 2005, Financing Corporation payments for Savings
Association Insurance Fund members averaged 1.42 basis points of assessable deposits.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may terminate an institutions insurance of deposits upon a
finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to
continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Office of Thrift Supervision. The management of United Community Bank
does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. United Community Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides a
central credit facility primarily for member institutions. United Community Bank, as a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan
Bank. United Community Bank was in compliance with this requirement with an investment in Federal Home
Loan Bank stock at September 30, 2005 of $1.7 million.
96
The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of insolvent thrifts in the
late 1980s and to contribute funds for affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount
of dividends that the Federal Home Loan Banks pay to their members and could also result in the Federal Home
Loan Banks imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or
interest on future Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased, our net interest income would likely also be
reduced.
Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, as implemented by Office
of Thrift Supervision regulations, a savings association has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with
its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or
programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institutions discretion to develop the types of products and
services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment
Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with its
examination of a savings association, to assess the institutions record of meeting the credit needs of its community
and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution.
The Community Reinvestment Act requires public disclosure of an institutions rating and requires the
Office of Thrift Supervision to provide a written evaluation of an associations Community Reinvestment Act
performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system.
United Community Bank received a satisfactory rating as a result of its most recent Community
Reinvestment Act assessment.
Privacy Requirements of the GLBA
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 provides for sweeping financial modernization for commercial
banks, savings banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial institutions operating in the United
States. Among other provisions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act places limitations on the sharing of consumer
financial information with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all
financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the
financial institutions privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to opt out of the sharing of
personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.
Anti-Money Laundering
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (referred to as the USA PATRIOT Act) significantly expands the responsibilities
of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, in preventing the use of the U.S. financial system
to fund terrorist activities. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act provides for a significant overhaul of the U.S. anti-
money laundering regime. Among other provisions, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act and the related regulations
of the Office of Thrift Supervision require financial institutions operating in the United States to develop new anti-
money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting
of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance
requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets
Control Regulations.
Other Regulations
Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by United Community Bank are subject to state usury
laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. United Community Banks loan operations are also subject to
federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
97
| Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; |
| Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves; |
| Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit; |
| Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; |
| Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and |
| rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws. |
The deposit operations of United Community Bank also are subject to the:
| Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records; |
| Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services; and |
| Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also
known as Check 21), which gives substitute checks, such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check. |
Holding Company Regulation
General. United Community Bancorp and United Community MHC will be savings and loan holding
companies within the meaning of federal law. As such, they will be registered with the Office of Thrift
Supervision and will be subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, examinations, supervision, reporting
requirements and regulations concerning corporate governance and activities. In addition, the Office of Thrift
Supervision will have enforcement authority over United Community Bancorp and United Community MHC and
their non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Office of Thrift
Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to United Community Bank.
Restrictions Applicable to Mutual Holding Companies. According to federal law and Office of
Thrift Supervision regulations, a mutual holding company, such as United Community MHC, may generally
engage in the following activities: (1) investing in the stock of a savings association; (2) acquiring a mutual
association through the merger of such association into a savings association subsidiary of such holding company
or an interim savings association subsidiary of such holding company; (3) merging with or acquiring another
holding company, one of whose subsidiaries is a savings association; and (4) any activity approved by the Federal
Reserve Board for a bank holding company or financial holding company or previously approved by the Office of
Thrift Supervision for multiple savings and loan holding companies. Recent legislation, which authorized mutual
holding companies to engage in activities permitted for financial holding companies, expanded the authorized
activities. Financial holding companies may engage in a broad array of financial service activities including
insurance and securities.
98
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including a federal mutual holding company,
from directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, acquiring more than 5.0% of the voting stock of
another savings institution, or its holding company, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift
Supervision. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift
Supervision must consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and
institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of
the community and competitive factors. Federal law also prohibits a savings and loan holding company from
acquiring more than 5.0% of a company engaged in activities other than those authorized for savings and loan
holding companies by federal law; or acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Office of Thrift Supervision is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a
multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, except: (1) the
approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and (2) the acquisition of a
savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such
acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company
acquisitions. This limitation would not prohibit an interstate merger of the subsidiary savings association.
If the savings institution subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company fails to meet the qualified
thrift lender test, the holding company must register with the Federal Reserve Board as a bank holding company
within one year of the savings institutions failure to so qualify.
Stock Holding Company Subsidiary Regulation. The Office of Thrift Supervision has adopted
regulations governing the two-tier mutual holding company form of organization and subsidiary stock holding
companies that are controlled by mutual holding companies. United Community Bancorp will be the stock holding
company subsidiary of United Community MHC. United Community Bancorp will be permitted to engage in
activities that are permitted for United Community MHC subject to the same restrictions and conditions.
Waivers of Dividends by United Community MHC. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations
require United Community MHC to notify the Office of Thrift Supervision if it proposes to waive receipt of
dividends from United Community Bancorp. The Office of Thrift Supervision reviews dividend waiver notices on
a case-by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to a waiver if: (i) the waiver would not be detrimental to the
safe and sound operation of the savings association; and (ii) the mutual holding companys board of directors
determines that such waiver is consistent with such directors fiduciary duties to the mutual holding companys
members. We anticipate that United Community MHC will waive dividends that United Community Bancorp may
pay, if any.
Conversion of United Community MHC to Stock Form. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations
permit United Community MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of
organization. There can be no assurance when, if ever, a conversion transaction will occur, and the Board of
Directors has no current intention or plan to undertake a conversion transaction. In a conversion transaction, a
new holding company would be formed as the successor to United Community Bancorp, United Community
MHCs corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of United Community Bank would receive the right
to subscribe for additional shares of the new holding company. In a conversion transaction, each share of common
stock held by stockholders other than United Community MHC would be automatically converted into a number of
shares of common stock of the new holding company based on an exchange ratio determined at the time of
conversion that ensures that stockholders other than United Community MHC own the same percentage of
common stock in the new holding company as they owned in United Community Bancorp immediately before
conversion. The total number of shares held by stockholders other than United Community MHC after a
conversion transaction would be increased by any purchases by such stockholders in the stock offering conducted
as part of the conversion transaction.
Acquisition of Control. Under the federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to
the Office of Thrift Supervision if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire
99
control of a savings and loan holding company or savings association. An acquisition of control can occur
upon the acquisition of 10.0% or more of the voting stock of a savings and loan holding company or savings
institution or as otherwise defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the
Office of Thrift Supervision has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration
certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effects of the
acquisition. Any company that so acquires control would then be subject to regulation as a savings and loan
holding company.
Federal Securities Laws
United Community Bancorp has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for the registration of the common stock to be issued by means of this
prospectus. Upon completion of the offering, United Community Bancorp common stock will also be registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. United Community
Bancorp will be subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, of the shares of common stock to be issued in the
offering does not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not
affiliates of United Community Bancorp may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of
United Community Bancorp will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
If United Community Bancorp meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144, each affiliate of
United Community Bancorp that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the
affiliates sale to be aggregated with those of 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 1% of the outstanding
shares of United Community Bancorp, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding
four calendar weeks. In the future, United Community Bancorp may permit affiliates to have their shares
registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and
accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, United Community Bancorps Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer each will be required to certify that United Community Bancorps quarterly and annual reports do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they
are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls;
they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about our
internal controls; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation
and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls. United Community Bancorp will be subject to further reporting and audit requirements
beginning with the year ending June 30, 2007 under the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. United
Community Bancorp will prepare policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations to
ensure compliance with these regulations.
100
Federal Income Taxation
General. United Community Bank reports its income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of
accounting. The federal income tax laws apply to United Community Bank in the same manner as to other
corporations with some exceptions, including the reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion
of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax
rules applicable to United Community Bank. United Community Banks federal income tax returns have been
either audited or closed under the statute of limitations through June 30, 2002. For its 2005 tax year, United
Community Banks maximum federal income tax rate was 35.0%.
Bad Debt Reserves. For fiscal years beginning before June 30, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified
under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain
favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt
reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by
interests in real property improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the
experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal
legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable
income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and require savings institutions to recapture or take into income
certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves. Approximately $748,000 of United Community Banks
accumulated bad debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income unless United Community Bank makes
a non-dividend distribution to United Community Bancorp as described below.
Distributions. If United Community Bank makes non_dividend distributions to United Community
Bancorp, the distributions will be considered to have been made from United Community Banks unrecaptured tax
bad debt reserves, including the balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987, to the extent of the non-dividend
distributions, and then from United Community Banks supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent of
those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than the amount of those reserves,
will be included in United Community Banks taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include distributions in
excess of United Community Banks current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal
income tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation.
Dividends paid out of United Community Banks current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be so
included in United Community Banks taxable income.
The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an amount that, when reduced by
the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Therefore, if United Community Bank
makes a non-dividend distribution to United Community Bancorp, approximately one and one-half times the
amount of the distribution not in excess of the amount of the reserves would be includable in income for federal
income tax purposes, assuming a 34.0% federal corporate income tax rate. United Community Bank does not
intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.
State Taxation
Indiana Taxation. Indiana imposes an 8.5% franchise tax based on a financial institutions adjusted
gross income as defined by statute. In computing adjusted gross income, deductions for municipal interest, U.S.
Government interest, the bad debt deduction computed using the reserve method and pre-1990 net operating losses
are disallowed. United Community Banks state franchise tax returns have not been audited for the past five tax
years.
101
The Reorganization and Stock Offering
The Board of Directors of United Community Bank has approved the plan of reorganization and
stock issuance. The plan of reorganization and stock issuance also must be approved by the members of
United Community Bank. A special meeting of members has been called for this purpose. The Office of
Thrift Supervision also has conditionally approved the plan of reorganization and stock issuance; however,
such approval does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the plan of reorganization and stock
issuance by such agency.
General
On September 22, 2005, the Board of Directors of United Community Bank unanimously adopted, and on
December 8, 2005 unanimously amended and restated, the plan of reorganization and stock issuance by which
United Community Bank will reorganize into a two-tiered mutual holding company. This structure is called a two-
tier structure because it will have two levels of holding companies. After the reorganization, United Community
Bancorp will be the mid-tier stock holding company and United Community MHC will be the top-tier mutual
holding company. Under the terms of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance, United Community Bancorp
will own all of the stock of United Community Bank and United Community MHC will own at least a majority of
United Community Bancorp.
The reorganization also includes the offering by United Community Bancorp of 43.1% of its common
stock to qualifying depositors and borrowers of United Community Bank in a subscription offering and, if
necessary, to members of the general public through a community offering and/or a syndicate of registered broker-
dealers. The completion of the offering depends on market conditions and other factors beyond our control.
United Community Bank can give no assurance as to the length of time that will be required to complete the sale of
the common stock. If there are any delays, significant changes may occur in the appraisal of United Community
Bancorp and United Community Bank as reorganized, which would require a change in the offering range. A
change in the offering range would result in a change in the net proceeds realized by United Community Bancorp
from the sale of the common stock. If the reorganization is terminated, United Community Bank would be
required to charge all reorganization expenses against current income.
The Office of Thrift Supervision has approved our plan of reorganization and stock issuance, subject to,
among other things, approval of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance by United Community Banks
members. The plan of reorganization and stock issuance also provides for the establishment of the United
Community Bank Charitable Foundation and our funding of the foundation with 1.9% of the shares of our
common stock issued in the reorganization. The establishment of the United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation is subject to a separate vote of United Community Banks members. The special meeting of United
Community Banks members has been called for this purpose on , 2006.
The following is a brief summary of the pertinent aspects of the reorganization. A copy of the plan of
reorganization and stock issuance is available from United Community Bank upon request and is available for
inspection at the offices of United Community Bank and at the Office of Thrift Supervision. The plan of
reorganization and stock issuance is also filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, of which this prospectus
forms a part, that United Community Bancorp has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See
Where You Can Find More Information.
Reasons for the Reorganization
After considering the advantages and disadvantages of the reorganization, the Board of Directors of
United Community Bank unanimously approved the reorganization as being in the best interests of United
Community Bank and its members. The Board of Directors concluded that the reorganization offers a number of
102
advantages that will be important to United Community Banks future growth and performance and that outweigh
the disadvantages of the reorganization.
The reorganization will result in the raising of additional capital for United Community Bancorp and
United Community Bank, which will support United Community Banks future lending and operational growth
and may also support possible future branching activities or the acquisition of other financial institutions or
financial service companies or their assets. As a subsidiary of a mutual holding company with a mid-tier stock
holding company, United Community Bank will have greater flexibility in structuring mergers and acquisitions,
including the form of consideration paid in a transaction. The current mutual structure, by its nature, limits any
ability to offer any common stock as consideration in a merger or acquisition. The new mutual holding company
structure will enhance United Community Banks ability to compete with other bidders when acquisition
opportunities arise by better enabling it to offer stock or cash consideration, or a combination of the two. Since
United Community Bancorp will not be offering all of its common stock for sale in the offering, the reorganization
will result in less capital raised in comparison to a standard mutual-to-stock conversion. Therefore, the
reorganization permits United Community Bank to control the amount of capital being raised, while at the same
time enabling United Community Bank to continue to grow its lending and investment activities. United
Community Bank will be able to raise additional capital in the future should United Community MHC consummate
a second-step conversion to stock form.
The reorganization will afford United Community Banks officers and employees the opportunity to
become stockholders, which United Community Bank believes to be an effective performance incentive and an
effective means of attracting and retaining qualified personnel. The reorganization also will provide United
Community Banks customers and local community members with an opportunity to acquire United Community
Bancorps common stock.
The disadvantages of the reorganization considered by United Community Banks Board of Directors are
the additional expense and effort of operating as a public company, the inability of stockholders other than United
Community MHC to obtain majority ownership of United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank,
which may result in the perpetuation of our management and board of directors, and the corporate ownership and
regulatory policies relating to the mutual holding company structure that may be adopted from time to time that
may have an adverse impact on stockholders other than United Community MHC. A majority of our voting stock
will be owned by United Community MHC, which will be controlled by its board of directors. While this structure
will permit management to focus on our long-term business strategy for growth and capital deployment without
undue pressure from stockholders, it will also serve to perpetuate our existing management and directors. United
Community MHC will be able to elect all the members of United Community Bancorps board of directors, and
will be able to control the outcome of most matters presented to our stockholders for resolution by vote. The
matters as to which stockholders other than United Community MHC will be able to exercise voting control are
limited and include any proposal to implement an equity incentive plan. No assurance can be given that United
Community MHC will not take action adverse to the interests of other stockholders. For example, United
Community MHC could prevent the sale of control of United Community Bancorp, or defeat a candidate for the
board of directors of United Community Bancorp or other proposals put forth by stockholders.
The reorganization does not preclude the conversion of United Community MHC from the mutual to stock
form of organization in the future. No assurance can be given when, if ever, United Community MHC will convert
to stock form or what conditions the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory agencies may impose on such
a transaction. See Risk Factors and Summary Possible Conversion of United Community MHC to Stock
Form.
Description of the Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance
Following receipt of all required regulatory approvals and approval of the plan of reorganization and stock
issuance by United Community Banks members, the reorganization will be effected as follows or in any other
103
manner approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision that is consistent with the purposes of the plan of
reorganization and stock issuance and applicable laws and regulations:
| United Community Bank will organize an interim federal stock savings bank as a wholly owned |
subsidiary (Interim One); |
| Interim One will organize United Community Bancorp, a federal stock corporation, as a wholly |
owned subsidiary; |
| Interim One will then organize an interim federal savings bank as a wholly owned subsidiary |
(Interim Two); |
| United Community Bank will exchange its charter to a federal stock savings bank charter and |
Interim One will exchange its charter for a federal mutual holding company charter to become |
United Community MHC; |
| Interim Two will merge with and into United Community Bank with United Community Bank in |
stock form surviving as a subsidiary of United Community MHC; |
| former members of United Community Bank will become members of United Community MHC; |
| United Community MHC will contribute 100.0% of the issued common stock of United |
Community Bank to United Community Bancorp; and |
| the shares of United Community Bancorp common stock issued to United Community MHC |
under step (2) will be cancelled and United Community Bancorp will issue a majority of its |
common stock to United Community MHC. |
Concurrently with the reorganization, United Community Bancorp will sell up to 43.1% of its common
stock representing up to 43.1% of the pro forma market value of United Community Bank on a fully converted
basis. United Community Bank intends to capitalize United Community MHC with $100,000 in cash.
As a result of the reorganization, United Community Bank will be organized in stock form and will be
wholly owned by United Community Bancorp. The legal existence of United Community Bank will not terminate
as a result of the reorganization. Instead, United Community Bank in stock form will be a continuation of United
Community Bank in mutual form. All property of United Community Bank, including its right, title and interest
in all property of any kind and nature, interest and asset of every conceivable value or benefit then existing or
pertaining to United Community Bank, or which would inure to United Community Bank immediately by
operation of law and without the necessity of any conveyance or transfer and without any further act or deed, will
vest in United Community Bank in stock form. United Community Bank in stock form will have, hold and enjoy
the same in its right and fully and to the same extent as the same was possessed, held and enjoyed by United
Community Bank in the mutual form. United Community Bank in stock form will continue to have, succeed to
and be responsible for all the rights, liabilities and obligations of United Community Bank in the mutual form and
will maintain its headquarters and operations at United Community Banks present locations.
Effects of Reorganization on Deposits, Borrowers and Members
Continuity. During the reorganization process, the normal business of United Community Bank will
continue without interruption, including continued regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. After reorganization, United Community Bank will continue to provide services
for depositors and borrowers under current policies by its present management and staff.
The directors of United Community Bank who adopted the plan of reorganization and stock issuance and
who continue to be directors of United Community Bank at the time of reorganization will serve as directors of
104
United Community Bank after the reorganization. The Board of Directors of United Community Bancorp and
United Community MHC will be composed solely of the individuals who serve on the Board of Directors of United
Community Bank. All officers of United Community Bank at the time of reorganization will retain their positions
after the reorganization.
Deposit Accounts and Loans. The reorganization will not affect any deposit accounts or borrower
relationships with United Community Bank. All deposit accounts in United Community Bank after the
reorganization will continue to be insured up to the legal maximum by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
in the same manner as such deposit accounts were insured immediately before the reorganization. The
reorganization will not change the interest rate or the maturity of deposits at United Community Bank.
After the reorganization, each depositor of United Community Bank will have both a deposit account in
United Community Bank and a pro rata ownership interest in the equity of United Community MHC based upon
the balance in the depositors account. This ownership interest is tied to the depositors account, has no tangible
market value separate from the deposit account and may only be realized in the event of a liquidation of United
Community MHC. Any depositor who opens a deposit account obtains a pro rata ownership interest in the equity
of United Community MHC without any additional payment beyond the amount of the deposit. A depositor who
reduces or closes his or her account receives the balance in the account but receives nothing for his or her
ownership interest in the equity of United Community MHC, which is lost to the extent that the balance in the
account is reduced. Consequently, depositors of United Community MHC have no way to realize the value of their
ownership interest in United Community MHC, except in the unlikely event that United Community MHC is
liquidated.
After the reorganization, all loans of United Community Bank will retain the same status that they had
before the reorganization. The amount, interest rate, maturity and security for each loan will remain as they were
contractually fixed prior to the reorganization.
Effect on Voting Rights of Members. After the reorganization, the direction of United Community
Bank will continue to be under the control of its board of directors. United Community Bancorp, as the holder of
all of the outstanding common stock of United Community Bank, will have exclusive voting rights with respect to
any matters concerning United Community Bank requiring stockholder approval, including the election of
directors.
After the reorganization, stockholders of United Community Bancorp will have exclusive voting rights
with respect to any matters concerning United Community Bancorp requiring stockholder approval. By virtue of
its ownership of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of United Community Bancorp, United
Community MHC will be able to control the outcome of most matters presented to the stockholders for resolution
by vote. However, United Community MHC will not be able to control the vote for merger and sale transactions,
second-step transactions and implementation of equity incentive plans, all of which would require the approval by
the stockholders other than United Community MHC.
As a federally chartered mutual holding company, United Community MHC will have no authorized
capital stock and, thus, no stockholders. Holders of deposit accounts of United Community Bank will become
members of United Community MHC. Such persons will be entitled to vote on all questions requiring action by
the members of United Community MHC, including the election of directors of United Community MHC. In
addition, all persons who become depositors of United Community Bank following the reorganization will have
membership rights with respect to United Community MHC. Borrowers of United Community Bank who were
borrower members of United Community Bank at the time of the reorganization will not become members of
United Community MHC. Borrowers will not receive membership rights in connection with any new borrowings
made after the reorganization.
Effect on Liquidation Rights. In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of United Community
Bank before the completion of the reorganization, each depositor would receive a pro rata share of any assets of
105
United Community Bank remaining after payment of expenses and satisfaction of claims of all creditors. Each
depositors pro rata share of such liquidating distribution would be in the same proportion as the value of such
depositors deposit account was to the total value of all deposit accounts in United Community Bank at the time of
liquidation.
In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of United Community Bank after the reorganization, each
depositor would have a claim as a creditor of the same general priority as the claims of all other general creditors
of United Community Bank. Except as described below, a depositors claim would be solely for the amount of the
balance in such depositors deposit account plus accrued interest. Such depositor would not have an interest in the
value or assets of United Community Bank above that amount. Instead, the holder of United Community Banks
common stock (i.e., United Community Bancorp) would be entitled to any assets remaining upon a liquidation of
United Community Bank.
In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of United Community Bancorp after the reorganization, the
stockholders of United Community Bancorp, including United Community MHC, would be entitled to receive the
remaining assets of United Community Bancorp, following payment of all debts, liabilities and claims of greater
priority of or against United Community Bancorp.
In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of United Community MHC after the reorganization, all
depositors of United Community Bank at that time will be entitled, pro rata to the value of their deposit accounts,
to a distribution of any assets of United Community MHC remaining after payment of all debts and claims of
creditors. Any second step conversion of United Community MHC to stock form would not be considered a
liquidation.
There are no plans to liquidate United Community Bank, United Community Bancorp or United
Community MHC in the future.
Material Income Tax Consequences
Although the reorganization may be effected in any manner approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision
that is consistent with the purposes of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance and applicable law, regulations
and policies, it is intended that the reorganization will be effected through a merger. Completion of the
reorganization is conditioned upon prior receipt of either a ruling or an opinion of counsel with respect to federal
tax laws, and either a ruling or an opinion with respect to Indiana tax laws, that no gain or loss will be recognized
by United Community Bank, United Community Bancorp or United Community MHC as a result of the
reorganization or by account holders receiving subscription rights, except to the extent, if any, that subscription
rights are deemed to have fair market value on the date such rights are issued. United Community Bank believes
that the tax opinions summarized below address all material federal income tax consequences that are generally
applicable to United Community Bank, United Community Bancorp and United Community MHC and persons
receiving subscription rights.
Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP has issued an opinion to United Community Bank that, for federal
income tax purposes, concludes that:
| the reorganization will constitute a reorganization under Internal Revenue Code section |
368(a)(1)(F), and United Community Bank (in either its mutual form (the Mutual Bank) or its |
stock form (the Stock Bank) will recognize no gain or loss as a result of the reorganization; |
| the basis of each asset of the Mutual Bank received by the Stock Bank in the reorganization will |
be the same as the Mutual Banks basis for such asset immediately before the reorganization; |
106
| the holding period of each asset of the Mutual Bank received by the Stock Bank in the reorganization will include the period during which such asset was held by the Mutual Bank |
before the reorganization; |
| for purposes of Internal Revenue Code section 381(b), the Stock Bank will be treated as if there had been no reorganization and, accordingly, the taxable year of the Mutual Bank will not end on |
the effective date of the reorganization and the tax attributes of the Mutual Bank (subject to |
application of Internal Revenue Code sections 381, 382 and 384) will be taken into account by |
the Stock Bank as if the reorganization had not occurred; |
| the Mutual Banks members will recognize no gain or loss upon their constructive receipt of shares of the Stock Bank common stock solely in exchange for their mutual ownership interest in |
the Mutual Bank; |
| no gain or loss will be recognized by members of the Mutual Bank upon the issuance to them of deposits in the Stock Bank in the same dollar amount as their deposits in the Mutual Bank; |
| with respect to the members of the Mutual Banks exchange of the stock of the Stock Bank constructively received for the mutual ownership interests in United Community MHC, the |
exchange will qualify as an exchange of property for stock under Internal Revenue Code Section |
351, the initial stockholders of the Stock Bank will recognize no gain or loss upon the |
constructive transfer to United Community MHC of the shares of the Stock Bank they |
constructively received and United Community MHC will recognize no gain or loss upon its |
receipt of the common stock of the Stock Bank in exchange for mutual ownership interests in the |
Mutual Bank; |
| with respect to United Community MHCs transfer of 100.0% of the common stock of the Stock Bank to United Community Bancorp, United Community Bancorp will recognize no gain or loss |
upon its transfer of 100.0% of the common stock of the Stock Bank from United Community |
MHC and United Community MHC will recognize no gain or loss upon its transfer of 100.0% of |
the common stock of the Stock Bank from United Community MHC to United Community |
Bancorp; |
| it is more likely than not that the fair market value of the non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock of United Community Bancorp to be issued to eligible account |
holders, supplemental eligible account holders and other members is zero and, accordingly, that |
no income will be realized by eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and |
other members upon the issuance to them of the subscription rights or upon the exercise of the |
subscription rights; |
| it is more likely than not that the tax basis to the holders of shares of common stock purchased in the reorganization pursuant to the exercise of the subscription rights will be the amount paid |
therefor, and that the holding period for such shares of common stock will begin on the date of |
completion of the reorganization; and |
| the holding period for shares of common stock purchased in the community offering or syndicated community offering will begin on the day after the date of the purchase. |
The opinions set forth in the 9th and 10th bullet points above are based on the position that the subscription
rights do not have any market value at the time of distribution or at the time they are exercised. Whether
subscription rights have a market value for federal income tax purposes is a question of fact, depending upon all
relevant facts and circumstances. According to our counsel, the Internal Revenue Service will not issue rulings on
whether subscription rights have a market value. Counsel has also advised us that they are unaware of any
instance in which the Internal Revenue Service has taken the position that nontransferable subscription rights
107
issued by a converting financial institution have a market value. Counsel also noted that the subscription rights
will be granted at no cost to the recipients, will be nontransferable and of short duration, and will afford the
recipients the right only to purchase United Community Bancorp common stock at a price equal to its estimated
fair market value, which will be the same price as the purchase price for the unsubscribed shares of common stock.
Unlike a private letter ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service, an opinion of counsel is not binding
on the Internal Revenue Service and the Internal Revenue Service could disagree with the conclusions reached in
the opinion. If there is a disagreement, no assurance can be given that the conclusions reached in an opinion of
counsel would be sustained by a court if contested by the Internal Revenue Service.
United Community Bank has also received an opinion from Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., Cincinnati,
Ohio, that, assuming the reorganization does not result in any federal income tax liability to United Community
Bank, its account holders, or United Community Bancorp, implementation of the plan of reorganization and stock
issuance will not result in any Indiana income tax liability to those entities or persons.
The opinions of Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP and Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., are filed as
exhibits to the registration statement that United Community Bancorp has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. See Where You Can Find More Information.
Subscription Offering and Subscription Rights
Under the plan of reorganization and stock issuance, United Community Bank has granted rights to
subscribe for United Community Bancorp common stock to the following persons in the following order of priority:
| Persons with deposits in United Community Bank with balances aggregating $50 or more |
(qualifying deposits) as of August 31, 2004 (eligible account holders). For this purpose, |
deposit accounts include all savings, time and demand accounts. |
| United Community Banks employee stock ownership plan. |
| Persons with qualifying deposits in United Community Bank as of December 31, 2005 |
(supplemental eligible account holders). |
| Depositors of United Community Bank as of , 2006 (other members). |
The amount of common stock that any person may purchase will depend on the availability of the
common stock after satisfaction of all subscriptions having prior rights in the subscription offering and to the
maximum and minimum purchase limitations set forth in the plan of reorganization and stock issuance. See
Limitations on Purchases of Shares. All persons on a joint account will be counted as a single depositor for
purposes of determining the maximum amount that may be subscribed for by owners of a joint account.
Category 1: Eligible Account Holders. Subject to the purchase limitation described below under
Limitations on Purchases of Shares, each eligible account holder has the right to subscribe for up to the greater
of:
| $150,000 of common stock (which equals 15,000 shares); |
| one-tenth of 1% of the total offering of common stock to persons other than United Community |
MHC; or |
| 15 times the product, rounded down to the next whole number, obtained by multiplying the total |
number of shares of common stock to be sold by a fraction of which the numerator is the amount |
of qualifying deposits of the eligible account holder and the denominator is the total amount of |
108
qualifying deposits of all eligible account holders. The balance of qualifying deposits of all |
eligible account holders was $ million. |
If there are insufficient shares to satisfy all subscriptions by eligible account holders, shares first will be
allocated so as to permit each subscribing eligible account holder, if possible, to purchase a number of shares
sufficient to make the persons total allocation equal to 100 shares or the number of shares actually subscribed for,
whichever is less. After that, unallocated shares will be allocated among the remaining subscribing eligible
account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective
qualifying deposits bear to the total qualifying deposits of all remaining eligible account holders whose
subscriptions remain unfilled. Subscription rights of eligible account holders who are also executive officers or
directors of United Community Bancorp or United Community Bank or their associates will be subordinated to the
subscription rights of other eligible account holders to the extent attributable to increased deposits in United
Community Bank in the one year period preceding August 31, 2004.
To ensure a proper allocation of stock, each eligible account holder must list on his or her stock order and
certification form all deposit accounts in which such eligible account holder had an ownership interest at August
31, 2004. Failure to list an account, or providing incorrect information, could result in the loss of all or part of a
subscribers stock allocation.
United Community Bank will strive to identify a subscribers ownership in all accounts, but cannot
guarantee that it will identify all accounts in which a subscriber may have an ownership interest.
Category 2: Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans. United Community Banks tax-
qualified employee benefit plans have the right to purchase up to 10.0% of the shares of common stock issued in
the reorganization to persons other than United Community MHC. As a tax-qualified employee benefit plan, the
employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase 3.92% of the shares issued in the reorganization, including
shares issued to United Community MHC and contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation.
Subscriptions by the employee stock ownership plan will not be aggregated with shares of common stock purchased
by any other participants in the reorganization, including subscriptions by United Community Banks officers and
directors, for the purpose of applying the purchase limitations in the plan of reorganization. If eligible account
holders subscribe for all of the shares being sold, no shares will be available for our tax-qualified employee benefit
plans. However, if the number of shares offered for sale are increased above the maximum of the offering range,
the employee stock ownership plan will have a first priority right to purchase any shares exceeding that amount up
to 10% of the common stock issued in the reorganization to persons other than United Community MHC. If the
employee stock ownership plans subscription is not filled in its entirety, the employee stock ownership plan may
purchase shares in the open market or may purchase shares directly from United Community Bancorp with the
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Category 3: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. Subject to the purchase limitation described
below under Limitations on Purchases of Shares, each supplemental eligible account holder has the right to
subscribe for up to the greater of:
| $150,000 of common stock (which equals 15,000 shares); |
| one-tenth of 1.0% of the total offering of common stock to persons other than United Community |
MHC; or |
| 15 times the product, rounded down to the next whole number, obtained by multiplying the total |
number of shares of common stock to be sold by a fraction of which the numerator is the amount |
of qualifying deposits of the supplemental eligible account holder and the denominator is the |
total amount of qualifying deposits of all supplemental eligible account holders. The balance of |
qualifying deposits of all supplemental eligible account holders was $ million. |
109
If eligible account holders and United Community Banks employee stock ownership plan subscribe for all
of the shares being sold by United Community Bancorp, no shares will be available for supplemental eligible
account holders. If shares are available for supplemental eligible account holders but there are insufficient shares
to satisfy all subscriptions by supplemental eligible account holders, shares first will be allocated so as to permit
each subscribing supplemental eligible account holder, if possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to
make the persons total allocation equal 100 shares or the number of shares actually subscribed for, whichever is
less. After that, unallocated shares will be allocated among the remaining subscribing supplemental eligible
account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective
qualifying deposits bear to the total qualifying deposits of all remaining supplemental eligible account holders
whose subscriptions remain unfilled.
To ensure a proper allocation of stock, each supplemental eligible account holder must list on his or her
stock order and certification form all deposit accounts in which such supplemental eligible account holder had an
ownership interest at December 31, 2005. Failure to list an account, or providing incorrect information, could
result in the loss of all or part of a subscribers stock allocation.
110
Category 4: Other Members. Subject to the purchase limitations as described below under
Limitations on Purchases of Shares, each other member of United Community Bank has the right to purchase
up to the greater of $150,000 of common stock (which equals 15,000 shares) or one-tenth of 1.0% of the total
offering of common stock issued to persons other than United Community MHC. If eligible account holders, the
employee stock ownership plan and supplemental eligible account holders subscribe for all of the shares being sold,
no shares will be available for other members. If shares are available for other members but there are not sufficient
shares to satisfy all subscriptions by other members, shares first will be allocated so as to permit each subscribing
other member, if possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make the persons total allocation equal 100
shares or the number of shares actually subscribed for, whichever is less. After that, unallocated shares will be
allocated among the remaining subscribing other members in the proportion that each other members subscription
bears to the total subscriptions of all such subscribing other members whose subscriptions remain unfilled.
To ensure a proper allocation of stock, each other member must list on his or her stock order and
certification form all deposit accounts in which such other member had an ownership interest at ,
2006. Failure to list an account or loan, or providing incorrect information, could result in the loss of all or part of
a subscribers stock allocation.
Expiration Date for the Subscription Offering. The subscription offering and all subscription
rights under the plan of reorganization and stock issuance is expected to terminate at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on
[Expiration Date]. We will not accept orders for common stock in the subscription offering received after
that time. We will make reasonable attempts to provide a prospectus and related offering materials to holders of
subscription rights; however, all subscription rights will expire on the expiration date whether or not we have been
able to locate each person entitled to subscription rights.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require that we complete the sale of common stock within 45 days
after the close of the subscription offering. If the sale of the common stock is not completed within that period, all
funds received will be returned promptly with interest, at United Community Banks statement savings rate and all
withdrawal authorizations will be canceled unless we receive approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision to extend
the time for completing the offering. If regulatory approval of an extension of the time period has been granted, we
will notify all subscribers of the extension and of the duration of any extension that has been granted, and
subscribers will have the right to modify or rescind their purchase orders. If we do not receive an affirmative
response from a subscriber to any resolicitation, the subscribers order will be rescinded and all funds received will
be returned promptly with interest, or withdrawal authorizations will be canceled. No single extension can exceed
90 days, and all extensions in the aggregate may not last beyond [Expiration Date #2].
Persons in Non-Qualified States. 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 under the plan of reorganization
and stock issuance reside. However, we are not required to offer stock in the subscription offering to any person
who resides in a foreign country or who resides in a state of the United States in which (1) only a small number of
persons otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares of common stock reside; (2) the granting of subscription rights or
the offer or sale of shares to such person would require that we or our officers or directors register as a broker,
dealer, salesman or selling agent under the securities laws of the state, or register or otherwise qualify the
subscription rights or common stock for sale or qualify as a foreign corporation or file a consent to service of
process; or (3) we determine that compliance with that states securities laws would be impracticable for reasons of
cost or otherwise.
Restrictions on Transfer of Subscription Rights and Shares. Subscription rights are
nontransferable. You may not transfer, or enter into any agreement or understanding to transfer, the legal or
beneficial ownership of your subscription rights issued under the plan of reorganization and stock issuance or the
shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of your subscription rights. Your subscription rights may be
exercised only by you and only for your own account. 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 such shares. Federal regulations also prohibit any person from
111
offering, or making an announcement of an offer or intent to make an offer, to purchase such subscription rights or
shares of common stock before the completion of the reorganization.
If you sell or otherwise transfer your rights to subscribe for common stock in the subscription offering or
subscribe for common stock on behalf of another person, you may forfeit those rights and face possible further
sanctions and penalties imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision or another agency of the U.S. Government.
We will 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.
Community Offering
To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in
the subscription offering, we may offer shares pursuant to the plan of reorganization and stock issuance in a
community offering to the following persons in the following order of priority:
| Natural persons and trusts of natural persons who are residents of Dearborn County, Indiana; and |
| Other persons to whom United Community Bank delivers a prospectus. |
We will consider persons to be residing in Dearborn County, Indiana, if they occupy a dwelling in the
county and establish a physical presence in the county that is not merely transitory in nature. We may utilize
depositor or loan records or other evidence provided to us to make a determination as to whether a person is a
resident in one of the specified counties. In all cases, the determination of residence status will be made by us in
our sole discretion.
Purchasers in the community offering are eligible to purchase up to $150,000 of common stock (which
equals 15,000 shares). To the extent practicable, and subject to the preferred subscriber preference and various
purchase limitations, orders for the common stock in the community offering shall first be filled to a maximum of
2.0% of the total number of shares of common stock sold in the offering, and thereafter any remaining shares shall
be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order until all orders have been filled. If shares are available
for preferred subscribers in the community offering but there are insufficient shares to satisfy all orders, the
available shares will be allocated first to each preferred subscriber whose order we accept in an amount equal to the
lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares ordered by each such subscriber, if possible. After that, unallocated
shares will be allocated among the remaining preferred subscribers whose orders remain unsatisfied in the same
proportion that the unfilled order of each such subscriber bears to the total unfilled orders of all such subscribers.
If, after filling the orders of preferred subscribers in the community offering, shares are available for other
subscribers in the community offering but there are insufficient shares to satisfy all orders, shares will be allocated
in the same manner as for preferred subscribers.
The community offering, if held, may commence concurrently with, during or after, the subscription
offering and will terminate no later than 45 days after the close of the subscription offering unless extended by us,
with the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. If we receive regulatory approval for an extension, all
subscribers will be notified of the extension and of the duration of any extension that has been granted, and will
have the right to confirm, increase, decrease or rescind their orders. If we do not receive an affirmative response
from a subscriber to any resolicitation, the subscribers order will be rescinded and all funds received will be
returned promptly with interest.
The opportunity to subscribe for shares of common stock in the community offering is subject to our
right in our sole discretion to reject orders, in whole or part, either at the time of receipt of an order or as
soon as practicable following the expiration date of the offering. If your order is rejected in part, you will
not have the right to cancel the remainder of your order.
112
Syndicated Community or Underwritten Public Offering
The plan of reorganization and stock issuance provides that, if necessary, all shares of common stock not
purchased in the subscription offering and community offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a
syndicated community offering to be managed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., acting as our agent. In such
capacity, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may form a syndicate of broker-dealers. Alternatively, we may sell any
remaining shares in an underwritten public offering. However, we retain the right to accept or reject, in whole or
in part, any orders in the syndicated community offering or underwritten public offering. Neither Keefe, Bruyette
& Woods, Inc. nor any registered broker-dealer will have any obligation to take or purchase any shares of the
common stock in the syndicated community offering; however, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has agreed to use its
best efforts in the sale of shares in any syndicated community offering. The syndicated community offering would
terminate no later than 45 days after the expiration of the subscription offering, unless extended by us, with
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. See Community Offering above for a discussion of rights of
subscribers in the event an extension is granted.
Common stock sold in the syndicated community offering also will be sold at the $10.00 per share
purchase price. Purchasers in the syndicated community offering are eligible to purchase up to $150,000 of
common stock (which equals 15,000 shares). Orders for common stock in the syndicated community offering will
be filled first to a maximum of 2.0% of the total number of shares sold in the offering and thereafter any remaining
shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order until all orders have been filled. However, no
fractional shares will be issued. We may begin the syndicated community offering or underwritten public offering
at any time following the commencement of the subscription offering.
The opportunity to subscribe for shares of common stock in the syndicated community offering or
underwritten public offering is subject to our right in our sole discretion to accept or reject orders, in whole
or part, either at the time of receipt of an order or as soon as practicable following the expiration date of the
offering. If your order is rejected in part, you will not have the right to cancel the remainder of your order.
If we are unable to find purchasers from the general public for all unsubscribed shares, we will make other
purchase arrangements, if feasible. Other purchase arrangements must be approved by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and may provide for purchases by directors, officers, their associates and other persons in excess of the
limitations provided in the plan of reorganization and stock issuance and in excess of the proposed director
purchases discussed earlier, although no purchases are currently intended. If other purchase arrangements cannot
be made, we may either: terminate the stock offering and promptly return all funds; set a new offering range,
notify all subscribers and give them the opportunity to place a new order for shares of United Community Bancorp
common stock; or take such other actions as may be permitted by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Limitations on Purchases of Shares
The plan of reorganization and stock issuance imposes limitations upon the purchase of common stock by
eligible subscribers and others in the reorganization. In addition to the purchase limitations described above under
Subscription Offering and Subscription Rights, Community Offering and Syndicated Community
Offering, the plan of reorganization and stock issuance provides for the following purchase limitations:
| The aggregate amount of our outstanding common stock owned or controlled by persons other than United Community MHC at the close of the offering shall be less than 50.0% of our total |
outstanding common stock. |
| Except for our tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, no person, either alone or together with associates of or persons acting in concert with such person, may purchase in the aggregate |
more than $650,000 of the common stock (which equals 65,000 shares), subject to increase as described below. |
113
| Each subscriber must subscribe for a minimum of 25 shares. |
| The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering by any non-tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan or any management person and his or her associates, shall not |
exceed 4.9% of the (i) outstanding shares of common stock at the conclusion of the offering; or |
(ii) the stockholders equity of United Community Bancorp at the conclusion of the offering. In |
calculating the number of shares held by management persons and their associates, shares held |
by any tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan that are attributable to such |
person will not be counted. |
| The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering by any one or more tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, exclusive of any shares of United Community Bancorp common |
stock acquired by such plans in the secondary market, shall not exceed 4.9% of (i) the |
outstanding shares of United Community Bancorp common stock at the conclusion of the |
offering; or (ii) the stockholders equity of United Community Bancorp at the conclusion of the |
offering. |
| The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering by all of our stock benefit plans, other than employee stock ownership plans, shall not exceed 25.0% of the outstanding common |
stock held by persons other than United Community MHC. |
| The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering by all non-tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans or management persons and their associates, exclusive of any |
common stock acquired by such plans or management persons and their associates in the |
secondary market, shall not exceed 29.0% of (i) the outstanding shares of United Community |
Bancorp common stock held by persons other than United Community MHC at the conclusion of |
the offering; or (ii) the stockholders equity of United Community Bancorp held by persons other |
than United Community MHC at the conclusion of the offering. In calculating the number of |
shares held by management persons and their associates, shares held by any tax-qualified or non- |
tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan that are attributable to such person will not be counted. |
We may, in our sole discretion, increase the individual or aggregate purchase limitation to up to 5.0% of
the shares of common stock sold in the offering to persons other than United Community MHC. We do not intend
to increase the maximum purchase limitation unless market conditions warrant an increase in the maximum
purchase limitation and we do not sell shares in excess of the minimum of the offering range. If we decide to
increase the purchase limitations, persons who subscribed for the maximum number of shares of common stock
will be given the opportunity to increase their subscriptions accordingly, subject to the rights and preferences of
any person who has priority subscription rights. If we increase the maximum purchase limitation to 5.0% of the
shares of common stock sold in the offering to persons other than United Community MHC, we may in our
discretion further increase this limitation to 9.99% provided that orders for common stock exceeding 5.0% shall
not exceed in the aggregate 10.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering to persons other than United
Community MHC.
The plan of reorganization and stock issuance defines acting in concert to mean knowing participation
in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not by an express
agreement or understanding; or a combination or pooling of voting or other interests in the securities of an issuer
for a common purpose under any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement, whether
written or otherwise. In general, a person or company that acts in concert with another party will also be deemed
to be acting in concert with any person who is also acting in concert with that other party. We may presume that
certain persons are acting in concert based upon, among other things, joint account relationships and the fact that
persons may have filed joint Schedules 13D or 13G with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to
other companies. For purposes of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance, our directors are not deemed to be
acting in concert solely by reason of their Board membership.
114
The plan of reorganization and stock issuance defines associate, with respect to a particular person, to
mean:
| a corporation or organization other than United Community MHC, United Community Bancorp or |
United Community Bank or a majority-owned subsidiary of United Community MHC, United |
Community Bancorp or United Community Bank of which a person is a senior officer or partner |
or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10.0% or more of any class of equity securities |
of such corporation or organization; |
| a trust or other estate in which a person has a substantial beneficial interest or as to which a person serves as trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; and |
| a relative or spouse of a person, or any relative of a spouse, who either has the same home as a person or who is a director or officer of United Community MHC, United Community Bancorp or |
United Community Bank or any of their subsidiaries. |
For example, a corporation of which a person serves as a senior officer would be an associate of that
person and, therefore, all shares purchased by the corporation would be included with the number of shares that the
person could purchase individually under the purchase limitations described above. We have the right in our sole
discretion to reject any order submitted by a person whose representations we believe to be false or who we
otherwise believe, either alone or acting in concert with others, is violating or circumventing, or intends to violate
or circumvent, the terms and conditions of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance. Directors and officers
are not treated as associates of each other solely by virtue of holding such positions. We have the sole discretion to
determine whether prospective purchasers are associates or acting in concert.
Marketing Arrangements
We have retained Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to consult with and advise and assist us, on a best efforts
basis, in the distribution of shares in the offering. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. is a broker-dealer registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will assist us in the reorganization by acting as marketing advisor with respect to
the subscription offering and will represent us as placement agent on a best efforts basis in the sale of the common
stock in the community offering if one is held. The services that Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will provide
include, but are not limited to:
| training our employees who will perform ministerial functions in the subscription offering and |
community offering regarding the mechanics and regulatory requirements of the stock offering |
process; |
| managing the stock information center by assisting interested stock subscribers and by keeping |
records of all stock orders; |
| preparing marketing materials; and |
| assisting in the solicitation of proxies from United Community Banks members for use at the |
special meeting (Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. may hire a separate proxy solicitor to assist in |
the solicitation of proxies). |
For these services, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will receive a fee of 1.5% of the aggregate dollar
amount of the common stock sold in the subscription and community offerings to persons other than the employee
stock ownership plan and directors, officers and employees of United Community Bank or their immediate
families. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. will also not receive any fee on the aggregate dollar amount of the
common stock contributed to the charitable foundation. We have made an advance payment of $50,000 to Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. for expenses. We will also reimburse Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. for its legal fees and
115
expenses associated with its marketing effort, up to a maximum of $50,000. If there is a syndicated community
offering, the total fees paid to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and other NASD member firms in the syndicated
community offering will not exceed 5.5% of the aggregate dollar amount of the common stock sold in the
syndicated community offering.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. has not prepared any report or opinion constituting a recommendation or
advice to us or to persons who subscribe for stock, nor has it prepared an opinion as to the fairness to us of the
purchase price or the terms of the stock to be sold. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. expresses no opinion as to the
prices at which common stock to be issued may trade. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and selected dealers
participating in the syndicated community offering may receive a commission in the syndicated community
offering in a maximum amount to be agreed upon by us to reflect market requirements at the time of the allocation
of shares in the syndicated community offering.
We have also agreed to indemnify Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. against liabilities and expenses,
including legal fees, incurred in connection with certain claims or litigation arising out of or based upon untrue
statements or omissions contained in the offering materials for the common stock, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the performance of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. of its services in connection with the
reorganization.
Description of Sales Activities
United Community Bancorp will offer the common stock in the subscription offering and community
offering principally by the distribution of this prospectus and through activities conducted at our stock information
center. The stock information center is expected to operate during normal business hours throughout the
subscription offering and community offering. It is expected that at any particular time one or more Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc. employees will be working at the stock information center. Employees of Keefe, Bruyette
& Woods, Inc. will be responsible for mailing materials relating to the offering, responding to questions regarding
the reorganization and the offering and processing stock orders.
Sales of common stock will be made by registered representatives affiliated with Keefe, Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. or by the selected dealers managed by Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. United Community Banks
officers and employees may participate in the offering in clerical capacities, providing administrative support in
effecting sales transactions or, when permitted by state securities laws, answering questions of a mechanical nature
relating to the proper execution of the order form. United Community Banks officers may answer questions
regarding our business when permitted by state securities laws. Other questions of prospective purchasers,
including questions as to the advisability or nature of the investment, will be directed to registered representatives.
United Community Banks officers and employees have been instructed not to solicit offers to purchase common
stock or provide advice regarding the purchase of common stock.
None of United Community Banks officers, directors or employees will be compensated, directly or
indirectly, for any activities in connection with the offer or sale of securities issued in the reorganization.
None of United Community Banks personnel participating in the offering is registered or licensed as a
broker or dealer or an agent of a broker or dealer. United Community Banks personnel will assist in the above-
described sales activities under an exemption from registration as a broker or dealer provided by Rule 3a4-1
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 3a4-1 generally provides that an associated person
of an issuer of securities will not be deemed a broker solely by reason of participation in the sale of securities of
the issuer if the associated person meets certain conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, that
the associated person participating in the sale of an issuers securities not be compensated in connection with the
offering at the time of participation, that the person not be associated with a broker or dealer and that the person
observe certain limitations on his or her participation in the sale of securities. For purposes of this exemption,
associated person of an issuer is defined to include any person who is a director, officer or employee of the issuer
or a company that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the issuer.
116
Procedure for Purchasing Shares in the Subscription and Community Offerings
Use of Order Forms. To purchase shares in the subscription offering, you must submit a properly
completed and executed order form to United Community Bank by 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on [Expiration
Date]. Your order form must be accompanied by full payment for all of the shares subscribed for or include
appropriate authorization in the space provided on the order form for withdrawal of full payment from a deposit
account with United Community Bank. To purchase shares in the community offering, you must submit a properly
completed and executed order form to United Community Bank, accompanied by the required payment for each
share subscribed for, before the community offering terminates, which may be on, or at any time after, the end of
the subscription offering. We may, in our sole discretion, permit institutional investors to submit irrevocable
orders together with the legally binding commitment for payment and to thereafter pay for such shares of common
stock for which they subscribe in the community offering at any time before the 48 hours before the completion of
the reorganization. This payment may be made by wire transfer. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of
the plan of reorganization and stock issuance and of the acceptability of the order forms will be final.
To ensure that your stock purchase eligibility and priority are properly identified, you must list all
accounts on the order form, giving all names in each account and the account number. We will strive to identify
your ownership in all accounts, but cannot guarantee we will identify all accounts in which you have ownership
interest.
We need not accept order forms that are received after the expiration of the subscription offering or
community offering, as the case may be, or that are executed defectively or that are received without full payment
or without appropriate withdrawal instructions. In addition, we are not obligated to accept orders submitted on
photocopied or facsimilied stock order and certification forms. We have the right to waive or permit the correction
of incomplete or improperly executed order forms, but do not represent that we will do so. Under the plan of
reorganization and stock issuance, our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the plan of reorganization and
stock issuance and of the order form will be final. Once received, an executed order form may not be modified,
amended or rescinded without our consent unless the reorganization has not been completed within 45 days after
the end of the subscription offering.
The reverse side of the order form contains a regulatorily mandated certification form. We will not accept
order forms on which the certification form is not executed. By executing and returning the certification form, you
will be certifying that you received this prospectus and acknowledging that the common stock is not a deposit
account and is not insured or guaranteed by the federal government. You also will be acknowledging that you
received disclosure concerning the risks involved in this offering. The certification form could be used as support
to show that you understand the nature of this investment.
To ensure that each purchaser in the subscription and community offerings receives a prospectus at least
48 hours before the end of the subscription and community offerings, as required by Rule 15c2-8 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, no prospectus will be mailed any later than five days before that date or hand
delivered any later than two days before that date. Execution of the order form will confirm receipt or delivery
under Rule 15c2-8. Order forms will be distributed only when preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
Payment for Shares. Payment for subscriptions may be made by check, bank draft or money order, or
by authorization of withdrawal from deposit accounts maintained with United Community Bank. Subscription
funds will be held by United Community Bank or, at our discretion, in an escrow account at an independent
insured depository institution. Appropriate means by which withdrawals may be authorized are provided on the
order form. No wire transfers or third party checks will be accepted. Interest will be paid on payments made by
check or money order at our statement savings rate from the date payment is received at the stock information
center until the completion or termination of the reorganization. If payment is made by authorization of
withdrawal from deposit accounts, the funds authorized to be withdrawn from a deposit account will continue to
accrue interest at the contractual rates until completion or termination of the reorganization, unless the certificate
matures after the date of receipt of the order form but before closing, in which case funds will earn interest at the
117
statement savings rate from the date of maturity until the reorganization is completed or terminated, but a hold will
be placed on the funds, making them unavailable to the depositor until completion or termination of the
reorganization. When the reorganization is completed, the funds received in the offering will be used to purchase
the shares of common stock ordered. The shares of common stock issued in the reorganization cannot and will
not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. If the
reorganization is not consummated for any reason, all funds submitted will be refunded promptly with interest, as
described above.
If a subscriber authorizes us to withdraw the amount of the purchase price from his or her deposit account,
we will do so as of the effective date of reorganization, though the account must contain the full amount necessary
for payment at the time the subscription order is received. We will waive any applicable penalties for early
withdrawal from certificate accounts. If the remaining balance in a certificate account is reduced below the
applicable minimum balance requirement at the time funds are actually transferred under the authorization, the
certificate will be canceled at the time of the withdrawal, without penalty, and the remaining balance will earn
interest at our statement savings rate.
We may, in our sole discretion, permit institutional investors to submit irrevocable orders together with
the legally binding commitment for payment and to thereafter pay for such shares of common stock for which they
subscribe in the community offering at any time before the 48 hours before the completion of the reorganization.
This payment may be made by wire transfer.
The employee stock ownership plan will not be required to pay for the shares subscribed for at the time it
subscribes, but rather may pay for shares of common stock subscribed for upon the completion of the
reorganization; provided that there is in force from the time of its subscription until that time, a loan commitment
from an unrelated financial institution or United Community Bancorp to lend to the employee stock ownership
plan, at that time, the aggregate purchase price of the shares for which it subscribed.
Individual retirement accounts maintained at United Community Bank do not permit investment in the
common stock. A depositor interested in using his or her individual retirement account funds to purchase common
stock must do so through a self-directed individual retirement account. Since we do not offer those accounts, we
will allow a depositor to make a trustee-to-trustee transfer of the individual retirement account funds to a trustee
offering a self-directed individual retirement account program with the agreement that the funds will be used to
purchase United Community Bancorps common stock in the offering. There will be no early withdrawal or
Internal Revenue Service interest penalties for transfers. The new trustee would hold the common stock in a self-
directed account in the same manner as United Community Bank now holds the depositors individual retirement
account funds. An annual administrative fee may be payable to the new trustee. Depositors interested in using
funds in an individual retirement account at United Community Bank to purchase common stock should contact
the stock information center as soon as possible so that the necessary forms may be forwarded for execution and
returned before the subscription offering ends. In addition, federal laws and regulations require that officers,
directors and 10% stockholders who use self-directed individual retirement account funds to purchase shares of
common stock in the subscription offering, make purchases for the exclusive benefit of individual retirement
accounts.
How We Determined the Offering Range and the $10.00 Purchase Price
Federal regulations require that the aggregate purchase price of the securities sold in connection with the
reorganization be based upon an estimated pro forma value of United Community Bancorp and United Community
Bank on a fully converted basis as determined by an independent appraisal. The term fully converted means that
the appraiser assumed that 100.0% of our stock had been sold to the public. We have retained Keller & Company,
Inc. which is experienced in the evaluation and appraisal of business entities, to prepare the independent appraisal.
Keller & Company will receive fees totaling $37,000 for its appraisal services, plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses not to exceed $800. We have agreed to indemnify Keller & Company under certain circumstances
against liabilities and expenses, including legal fees, arising out of, related to, or based upon the reorganization.
118
Keller & Company prepared the appraisal taking into account the pro forma impact of the offering. For
its analysis, Keller & Company undertook substantial investigations to learn about our business and operations. We
supplied financial information, including annual financial statements, information on the composition of assets
and liabilities, and other financial schedules. In addition to this information, Keller & Company reviewed United
Community Banks reorganization and stock issuance applications as filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision
and United Community Bancorps registration statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Furthermore, Keller & Company visited our facilities and had discussions with our management. Keller &
Company did not perform a detailed individual analysis of the separate components of our assets and liabilities.
We did not impose any limitations on Keller & Company in connection with its appraisal.
In connection with its appraisal, Keller & Company reviewed the following factors, among others:
| the economic make-up of our primary market areas; |
| our financial performance and condition in relation to publicly traded savings associations and |
savings association holding companies that Keller & Company deemed comparable to United |
Community Bank; |
| the specific terms of the offering of United Community Bancorps common stock; |
| the pro forma impact of the additional capital raised in the reorganization; |
| our proposed dividend policy; |
| conditions of securities markets in general; and |
| the market for thrift institution common stock in particular. |
Consistent with Office of Thrift Supervision appraisal guidelines, Keller & Companys analysis utilized
three selected valuation procedures, the price/tangible book method, the price/core earnings method and the
price/assets method, all of which are described in its report. Keller & Companys appraisal report is filed as an
exhibit to the registration statement we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See Where You Can
Find More Information. Keller & Company placed the greatest emphasis on the price/core earnings and
price/tangible book methods in estimating pro forma market value. Keller & Company compared the pro forma
price/tangible book and price/core earnings ratios for United Community Bancorp to the same ratios for a peer
group of comparable companies. The peer group consisted of 10 publicly traded savings associations and savings
association holding companies. The peer group included companies with:
| average assets of $449.3 million; |
| average nonperforming assets of 0.66% of total assets; |
| average net loans of 64.12% of total assets; |
| average equity of 10.25% of total assets; and |
| average net income of 0.83% of average assets. |
On the basis of the analysis in its report, Keller & Company has advised us that, in its opinion, as of
November 14, 2005, the estimated pro forma market value of United Community Bancorp and United Community
Bank, on a fully converted basis, was within the valuation range of $54.4 million and $84.6 million with a
midpoint of $64.0 million.
119
The following table presents a summary of selected pricing ratios for United Community Bank on a fully-
converted basis, for the peer group companies and for all publicly traded thrifts. Compared to the average pricing
ratios of the peer group, United Community Banks pro forma pricing ratios at the maximum of the offering range
indicated a premium of 18.42% on a price-to-core earnings basis and a discount of 35.17% on a price-to-book
value basis.

The price-to-earnings multiples set forth in the above table do not reflect the recognition of compensation
expense in connection with stock options. Recent accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board requires the recognition of compensation expense related to stock options outstanding based upon
the fair value of such awards at the date of grant over the period that such awards are earned. The implementation
of this accounting guidance will have a significant impact on pricing ratios of United Community Bank once
United Community Bancorp adopts a stock option plan and issues stock options and will likely have a significant
impact on the peer group companies as well. The pro forma information presented under Pro Forma Data
reflects an estimated expense for the stock option plan that may be adopted by United Community Bancorp and the
resulting effect on the pro forma price-to-earnings multiples for United Community Bancorp.
Our board of directors reviewed Keller & Companys appraisal report, including the methodology and the
assumptions used by Keller & Company, and determined that the valuation range was reasonable and adequate.
Our board of directors determined that 43.1% of the shares of our common stock should be sold in the offering at a
purchase price of $10.00 per share. Multiplying this percentage by Keller & Companys valuation range yielded
an offering range of $23,446,400 to $36,479,840, with a midpoint of $27,584,000. Dividing these dollar amounts
by the purchase price resulted in an offering range of between 2,344,640 and 3,647,984 shares, with a midpoint of
2,758,400 shares. The purchase price of $10.00 per share was determined by us, taking into account, among other
factors, the requirement under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations that the common stock be offered in a
manner that will achieve the widest distribution of the stock and desired liquidity in the common stock after the
offering.
Since the outcome of the offering relates in large measure to market conditions at the time of sale, it is not
possible to determine the exact number of shares that will be issued by United Community Bancorp at this time.
The offering range may be amended, with the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, if necessitated by
developments following the date of the appraisal in, among other things, market conditions, our financial condition
or operating results, regulatory guidelines or national or local economic conditions.
120
If, upon completion of the subscription offering, at least the minimum number of shares are subscribed
for, Keller & Company, after taking into account factors similar to those involved in its prior appraisal, will
determine its estimate of our pro forma market value as of the close of the subscription offering. If, as a result of
regulatory considerations, demand for the shares or changes in market conditions, Keller & Company determines
that our pro forma market value has increased, we may sell up to 3,647,984 shares without any further notice to
you.
No shares will be sold unless Keller & Company confirms that, to the best of its knowledge and judgment,
nothing of a material nature has occurred that would cause it to conclude that the actual total purchase price of the
shares on an aggregate basis was materially incompatible with its appraisal. If, however, the facts do not justify
that statement, the offering may be canceled, a new offering range and price per share set and new subscription,
community and syndicated community offerings held. Under those circumstances, all funds would be promptly
returned and all subscribers would be given the opportunity to place a new order. If the offering is terminated, all
subscriptions will be cancelled and subscription funds will be returned promptly with interest, and holds on funds
authorized for withdrawal from deposit accounts will be released or reduced. If Keller & Company establishes a
new valuation range, it must be approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
In formulating its appraisal, Keller & Company relied upon the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness
of all documents we furnished to it. Keller & Company also considered financial and other information from
regulatory agencies, other financial institutions and other public sources, as appropriate. While Keller & Company
believes this information to be reliable, Keller & Company does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the
information and did not independently verify the financial statements and other data provided by us or
independently value our assets or liabilities. The appraisal is not intended to be, and must not be interpreted
as, a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of voting to approve the plan of reorganization and
stock issuance or of purchasing shares of common stock. Moreover, because the appraisal must be based on
many factors that change periodically, there is no assurance that purchasers of shares in the reorganization
will be able to sell shares after the reorganization at prices at or above the purchase price.
Copies of the appraisal report of Keller & Company, including any amendments to the report, and the
detailed memorandum of the appraiser setting forth the method and assumptions for such appraisal are available
for inspection at the main office of United Community Bank and the other locations specified under Where You
Can Find More Information.
Delivery of Certificates
Certificates representing the common stock sold in the offering will be mailed by our transfer agent to the
persons whose subscriptions or orders are filled at the addresses of such persons appearing on the stock order and
certification form as soon as practicable following completion of the reorganization. We will hold certificates
returned as undeliverable until claimed by the persons legally entitled to the certificates or otherwise disposed of in
accordance with applicable law. Until certificates for common stock are available and delivered to subscribers,
subscribers may not be able to sell their shares, even though trading of the common stock may have commenced.
Restrictions on Repurchase of Stock
Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, we may not, for a period of one year from the date of the
completion of the reorganization, repurchase any of our common stock from any person, except (1) in an offer
made to all stockholders to repurchase the common stock on a pro rata basis, approved by the Office of Thrift
Supervision, (2) the repurchase of qualifying shares of a director, or (3) repurchases to fund restricted stock plans
or tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans. Where extraordinary circumstances exist, the Office of Thrift
Supervision may approve the open market repurchase of up to 5% of our common stock during the first year
following the reorganization. To receive such approval, we must establish compelling and valid business purposes
for the repurchase to the satisfaction of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Furthermore, repurchases of any common
121
stock are prohibited if they would cause United Community Banks regulatory capital to be reduced below the
amount required under the regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Restrictions on Transfer of Shares After the Reorganization Applicable to Officers and Directors
Common stock purchased in the reorganization will be freely transferable, except for shares purchased by
our directors and executive officers.
Shares of common stock purchased by our directors and executive officers may not be sold for a period of
one year following the reorganization, except upon the death of the stockholder or unless approved by the Office of
Thrift Supervision. Shares purchased by these persons in the open market after the reorganization will be free of
this restriction. Shares of common stock issued to directors and executive officers will bear a legend giving
appropriate notice of the restriction and, in addition, we will give appropriate instructions to our transfer agent
with respect to the restriction on transfers. Any shares issued to directors and executive officers as a stock
dividend, stock split or otherwise with respect to restricted common stock will be similarly restricted.
Persons affiliated with United Community Bank, including our directors and executive officers, received
subscription rights based only on their deposits with United Community Bank as account holders. Any purchases
made by persons affiliated with United Community Bank for the explicit purpose of meeting the minimum of the
offering must be made for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards redistribution. Furthermore, as
set forth above, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations restrict sales of common stock purchased in the offering by
directors and executive officers for a period of one year following the reorganization.
Purchases of outstanding shares of United Community Bancorp common stock by directors, officers, or
any person who becomes an executive officer or director of United Community Bank after adoption of the plan of
reorganization and stock issuance, and their associates, during the three-year period following the reorganization
may be made only through a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, except
with the prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. This restriction does not apply, however, to
negotiated transactions involving more than 1% of United Community Bancorps outstanding common stock or to
the purchase of stock under stock benefit plans.
United Community Bancorp has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 for the registration of the common stock to be sold in the offering
and contributed to the charitable foundation. This registration does not cover the resale of the shares. Shares of
common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of United Community Bancorp may be resold without
registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of United Community Bancorp will have resale restrictions under
Rule 144 of the Securities Act. If United Community Bancorp meets the current public information requirements
of Rule 144, each affiliate of United Community Bancorp who complies with the other conditions of Rule 144,
including those that require the affiliates 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 1.0% of the outstanding shares of United Community Bancorp or the average weekly volume of trading
in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. United Community Bancorp may make future provision to
permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act under certain circumstances.
Interpretation, Amendment and Termination
To the extent permitted by law, all interpretations by us of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance
will be final; however, such interpretations have no binding effect on the Office of Thrift Supervision. The plan of
reorganization and stock issuance provides that, if deemed necessary or desirable, we may substantively amend the
plan of reorganization and stock issuance as a result of comments from regulatory authorities or otherwise.
Completion of the reorganization requires the sale of all shares of the common stock within 90 days
following approval of the plan of reorganization and stock issuance by the Office of Thrift Supervision, unless an
122
extension is granted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. If this condition is not satisfied, the plan of reorganization
and stock issuance will be terminated and United Community Bank will continue its business in the mutual form of
organization. We may terminate the plan of reorganization and stock issuance at any time.
United Community Bank Charitable Foundation
General
In furtherance of our commitment to our local community, the plan of reorganization provides that we
will establish a charitable foundation in connection with the reorganization. We have established United
Community Bank Charitable Foundation as a nonstock Delaware corporation to serve as the charitable foundation.
The foundation will be funded with United Community Bancorp common stock as described below. By further
enhancing our visibility and reputation in our local community, we believe that the foundation will enhance the
long-term value of our community banking franchise. We believe the reorganization presents us with a unique
opportunity to provide a substantial and continuing benefit to our community and to receive the associated tax
benefits, without any significant cash outlay by us.
Purpose of the Charitable Foundation
We emphasize community lending and community activities. United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation is being formed to complement, not to replace, our existing community activities. Although we intend
to continue to emphasize community lending and community activities following the reorganization, such activities
are not our sole corporate purpose. United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will be dedicated completely
to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes, and may be able to support such activities in
manners that are not presently available to us. We believe that United Community Bank Charitable Foundation
will enable us to assist the communities within our market areas in areas beyond community development and
lending and will enhance our current activities under the Community Reinvestment Act.
We further believe that the funding of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation with our common
stock will allow our community to share in our potential growth and success long after the reorganization. United
Community Bank Charitable Foundation will accomplish that goal by providing for continued ties between our
community and us, thereby forming a partnership within the communities in which we operate.
We do not expect the contribution to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation to take the place of
our traditional community lending and charitable activities. For the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004,
we contributed $12,142 and $12,378, respectively, to community organizations. We expect to continue making
charitable contributions and donations within our community. In connection with the closing of the offering, we
intend to contribute to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation a number of shares of our common stock
that will result in the foundation owning 1.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock. At the midpoint of the
offering range we would contribute 121,600 shares of United Community Bancorp common stock.
Structure of the Charitable Foundation
United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will be incorporated under Delaware law as a non-stock
corporation. The Certificate of Incorporation of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will provide that
United Community Bank Charitable Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes as set forth in
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Certificate of Incorporation will further provide that no part
of the net earnings of the foundation will inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to, its directors, officers or
members.
We have selected two of our employee directors and three of our non-employee directors to serve on the
initial board of directors of the foundation. The employee directors who will serve as directors of the foundation
are William F. Ritzmann and Elmer G. McLaughlin and the non-employee directors are Robert J. Ewbank, Jerry
123
W. Hacker and Eugene B. Seitz, II. We also will select one additional person to serve on the foundations board of
directors who will not be one of our officers or directors. As required by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations,
this other director will have experience with local charitable organizations and grant making. While there are no
plans to change the size of the initial board of directors during the year following the completion of the
reorganization, following the first anniversary of the reorganization, the foundation may alter the size and
composition of its board of directors. For five years after the reorganization, one seat on the foundations board of
directors will be reserved for a person from our local community who has experience with local community
charitable organizations and grant making and who is not one of our officers, directors or employees, and one seat
on the foundations board of directors will be reserved for one of our directors. It is currently not anticipated that
directors of the foundation will receive compensation for their service.
The board of directors of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will be responsible for
establishing its grant and donation policies, consistent with the purposes for which it was established. As directors
of a nonprofit corporation, directors of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will always be bound by
their fiduciary duty to advance the foundations charitable goals, to protect its assets and to act in a manner
consistent with the charitable purposes for which the foundation is established. The directors of United
Community Bank Charitable Foundation also will be responsible for directing the activities of the foundation,
including the management and voting of our common stock held by the foundation. However, as required by
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, all shares of common stock held by United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation must be voted in the same ratio as all other shares of the common stock on all proposals considered by
our stockholders.
United Community Bank Charitable Foundations place of business will be located at our administrative
offices. The board of directors of United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will appoint such officers and
employees as may be necessary to manage its operations, although no employees are expected to be hired. To the
extent applicable, we will comply with the affiliates restrictions set forth in Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act and the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations governing transactions between us and the
foundation.
United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will receive working capital from: (1) any dividends that
may be paid on our common stock in the future; (2) within the limits of applicable federal and state laws, loans
collateralized by the common stock; or (3) the proceeds of the sale of any of the common stock in the open market
from time to time. As a private foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, United
Community Bank Charitable Foundation will be required to distribute annually in grants or donations a minimum
of 5% of the average fair market value of its net investment assets. One of the conditions imposed on the gift of
common stock by us is that the amount of common stock that may be sold by United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation in any one year shall not exceed 5% of the average market value of the assets held by United
Community Bank Charitable Foundation, except where the board of directors of the foundation determines that the
failure to sell an amount of common stock greater than such amount would result in a long-term reduction of the
value of its assets and/or would otherwise jeopardize its capacity to carry out its charitable purposes.
Tax Considerations
Our independent tax advisor has advised us that an organization created for the above purposes should
qualify as a Section 501(c)(3) exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code and should be classified as a
private foundation. United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will submit a timely request to the Internal
Revenue Service to be recognized as an exempt organization. As long as United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation files its application for tax-exempt status within 15 months from the date of its organization, and
provided the Internal Revenue Service approves the application, its effective date as a Section 501(c)(3)
organization will be the date of its organization. Our independent tax advisor, however, has not rendered any
advice on whether United Community Bank Charitable Foundations tax exempt status will be affected by the
regulatory requirement that all shares of our common stock held by United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation must be voted in the same ratio as all other outstanding shares of common stock on all proposals
considered by our stockholders.
124
We are authorized under federal law to make charitable contributions. We believe that the reorganization
presents a unique opportunity to establish and fund a charitable foundation given the substantial amount of
additional capital being raised. In making such a determination, we considered the dilutive impact of the
contribution of common stock to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation on the amount of common stock
to be sold in the reorganization. See Capitalization, Regulatory Capital Compliance, and Comparison of
Independent Valuation and Pro Forma Financial Information With and Without the Foundation. The amount of
the contribution will not adversely impact our financial condition. We therefore believe that the amount of the
charitable contribution is reasonable given our pro forma capital position and does not raise safety and soundness
concerns.
We have received an opinion from our independent tax advisor that our contribution of our stock to
United Community Bank Charitable Foundation should not constitute an act of self-dealing and that we should be
entitled to a deduction under federal law in the amount of the fair market value of the stock at the time of the
contribution less the nominal amount that United Community Bank Charitable Foundation is required to pay us for
such stock. Under the Internal Revenue Code, we are permitted to deduct only an amount equal to 10% of our
annual taxable income in any one year. We are permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to carry the excess
contribution over the five year period following the contribution to United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation. We estimate that substantially all of the contribution should be deductible under federal law over the
six-year period. Indiana law does not provide a similar deduction. However, we do not have any assurance that
the Internal Revenue Service will grant tax-exempt status to the foundation. Furthermore, even if the contribution
is deductible under federal law, we may not have sufficient earnings to be able to use the deduction in full. We do
not expect to make any further contributions to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation within the first
five years following the initial contribution, unless such contributions would be deductible under the Internal
Revenue Code. Any such decisions would be based on an assessment of, among other factors, our financial
condition at that time, the interests of our stockholders and depositors, and the financial condition and operations
of the foundation.
Although we have received an opinion from our independent tax advisor that we should be entitled to a
deduction under federal law for the charitable contribution, there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue
Service will recognize United Community Bank Charitable Foundation as a Section 501(c)(3) exempt organization
or that the deduction will be permitted. In such event, our contribution to United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation would be expensed without tax benefit, resulting in a reduction in earnings in the year in which the
Internal Revenue Service makes such a determination. See Risk Factors Risks Related to the Formation of the
Charitable Foundation Our Contribution to United Community Bank Foundation may not be tax deductible,
which could hurt our profits.
As a private foundation, earnings and gains, if any, from the sale of common stock or other assets are
exempt from federal and state income taxation. However, investment income, such as interest, dividends and
capital gains, is generally taxed at a rate of 2.0%. United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will be required
to file an annual return with the Internal Revenue Service within four and one-half months after the close of its
fiscal year. United Community Bank Charitable Foundation will be required to make its annual return available
for public inspection. The annual return for a private foundation includes, among other things, an itemized list of
all grants made or approved, showing the amount of each grant, the recipient, any relationship between a grant
recipient and the foundations managers and a concise statement of the purpose of each grant.
Regulatory Conditions Imposed on the Charitable Foundation
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations will impose the following conditions on the establishment of
United Community Bank Charitable Foundation:
| the Office of Thrift Supervision can examine the foundation; |
125
| the foundation must comply with all supervisory directives imposed by the Office of Thrift |
Supervision; |
| the foundation must provide annually to the Office of Thrift Supervision a copy of the annual |
report that the foundation submits to the IRS; |
| the foundation must operate according to written policies adopted by its board of directors, |
including a conflict of interest policy; |
| the foundation may not engage in self-dealing and must comply with all laws necessary to |
maintain its tax-exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code; and |
| the foundation must vote its shares in the same ratio as all of the other shares voted on each |
proposal considered by our stockholders. |
In addition, within six months of completing the reorganization, United Community Bank Charitable
Foundation must submit to the Office of Thrift Supervision a three-year operating plan.
Restrictions on Acquisition of United Community Bancorp
and United Community Bank
General
The plan of reorganization and stock issuance provides that United Community Bank will reorganize from
a federally chartered savings bank into a federal mutual holding company structure and includes the adoption of a
federal stock charter and bylaws for United Community Bancorp. Certain provisions in the federal stock charter
and bylaws of United Community Bancorp may have anti-takeover effects. In addition, provisions in United
Community Banks charter and bylaws may also have anti-takeover effects. Finally, regulatory restrictions may
also make it more difficult for persons or companies to acquire control of United Community Bancorp and United
Community Bank.
Mutual Holding Company Structure
Following the reorganization, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of United Community Bank
will be owned by United Community Bancorp. A majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of United
Community Bancorp will be owned by United Community MHC. As a result, management of United Community
MHC will be able to exert voting control over United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank and will
restrict the ability of the minority stockholders of United Community Bancorp to effect a change of control of
management. United Community MHC, as long as it remains in the mutual form of organization, will control a
majority of the voting stock of United Community Bancorp.
The Stock Charter and Bylaws of United Community Bancorp
Although the Board of Directors of United Community Bancorp is not aware of any effort that might be
made to obtain control of United Community Bancorp after the reorganization, the Board of Directors believes it is
appropriate to adopt certain provisions permitted by federal regulations that may have the effect of deterring a
future takeover attempt that is not approved by United Community Bancorps Board of Directors. The following
description of these provisions is only a summary and does not provide all of the information contained in United
Community Bancorps charter and bylaws. See Additional Information for where to obtain a copy of these
documents.
126
Beneficial Ownership Limitation. United Community Bancorps charter provides that, for a period
of five years from the date of the reorganization, no person, other than United Community MHC may acquire
directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of more than 10.0% of any class of any equity security of United
Community Bancorp. In the event a person acquires shares in violation of this provision, all shares beneficially
owned by such person in excess of 10.0% will be considered excess shares and will not be counted as shares
entitled to vote or counted as voting shares in connection with any matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote.
This provision does not apply to a transaction in which United Community Bancorp fully converts from the mutual
holding company form of organization.
Board of Directors.
Classified Board. United Community Bancorps board of directors is divided into three classes as
nearly as equal in number as possible. The stockholders elect one class of directors each year for a term of three
years. The classified board makes it more difficult and time consuming for a stockholder group to fully use its
voting power to gain control of the board of directors without the consent of the incumbent board of directors of
United Community Bancorp.
Filling of Vacancies; Removal. The bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring in the board of
directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by a vote of a
majority of the remaining directors although less than a quorum of the board of directors then in office. A person
elected to fill a vacancy on the board of directors will serve until the next election of directors by the stockholders.
Our bylaws provide that a director may be removed from the board of directors prior to the expiration of his or her
term only for cause and only upon the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock. These
provisions make it more difficult for stockholders to remove directors and replace them with their own nominees.
Elimination of Cumulative Voting. The charter of United Community Bancorp provides that no
shares will be entitled to cumulative voting. The elimination of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a
stockholder group to elect a director nominee.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. United Community Bancorps
stockholders must act only through an annual or special meeting or by unanimous written consent. The bylaws
provide that the chairman of the board of directors, the president or a majority of the board of directors or holders
of 10% or more of our outstanding shares may request the calling of a special meeting. The provisions of our
charter and bylaws limiting stockholder action by written consent and calling of special meetings of stockholders
may have the effect of delaying consideration of a stockholder proposal until the next annual meeting, unless a
special meeting is called in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws. These provisions also would prevent the
holders of a majority of common stock from unilaterally using the written consent procedure to take stockholder
action.
Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. United Community
Bancorps bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or bring other
business before an annual meeting of stockholders. Advance notice of nominations or proposed business by
stockholders gives the board of directors time to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees, the merits of
the proposals and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the board of directors, to inform stockholders and
make recommendations about those matters.
Stockholder Nominations. A person may not be nominated for election as a director unless that
person is nominated by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who has given appropriate
notice to United Community Bancorp before the meeting. Stockholder nominations must be in writing and
delivered to the Secretary of United Community Bancorp at least 30 days before the date of the annual meeting,
provided however, that if less than 40 days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made, notice by a stockholder of his or her intention to nominate a director must be received not later than the
127
close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or
such public disclosure of the annual meeting was made.
Stockholder Proposals. A stockholder may not bring new business before an annual meeting unless
the stockholder has given United Community Bancorp appropriate notice of its intention to bring that business
before the meeting. A stockholder may propose new business at an annual meeting or special meeting, however,
such business must be approved by the board of directors and stated in writing and filed with United Community
Bancorps Secretary at least 30 days before the date of the annual meeting, provided however, that when public
notice of the date of the annual meeting is less than 40 days, notice by the stockholder of a proposal must not be
received later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual
meeting was made to the public. Additionally, if such proposal is not presented, in writing, to United Community
Bancorps Secretary at least 30 days before such meeting, such nomination or proposal shall be laid over for action
at an adjourned, special or annual meeting taking place 30 days or more thereafter. A stockholder who desires to
raise new business must provide certain information to United Community Bancorp concerning the nature of the
new business, the stockholder and the stockholders interest in the business matter.
Authorized but Unissued Shares of Capital Stock. Following the reorganization, we will have
authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock. United Community Bancorps charter authorizes
the board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock and, for any series of preferred stock, to
determine the terms and rights of the series, including voting rights, conversion rates, and liquidation preferences.
Although such shares of common and preferred stock could be issued by the board of directors to render more
difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or
otherwise, it is anticipated that such uses will be unlikely given that United Community MHC must always own a
majority of our common stock.
Regulatory | Restrictions |
Office of Thrift Supervision Regulations. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations provide that for
a period of three years following the date of the completion of the reorganization, no person, acting singly or
together with associates in a group of persons acting in concert, will directly or indirectly offer to acquire or
acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10% of a class of our equity securities without the prior written
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Where any person, directly or indirectly, acquires beneficial
ownership of more than 10% of a class of United Community Bancorps equity securities without the prior written
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the securities beneficially owned by such person in excess of 10.0%
will not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any matter submitted to the
stockholders for a vote, and will not be counted as outstanding for purposes of determining the affirmative vote
necessary to approve any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote.
Restrictions on Remutualization Transactions. Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations
permit a mutual holding company to be acquired by a mutual institution in a remutualization transaction.
However, in June 2003 the Office of Thrift Supervision issued a policy statement indicating that it views
remutualization transactions as raising significant issues concerning disparate treatment of minority stockholders
and mutual members of the target entity and raising issues concerning the effect on the mutual members of the
acquiring entity. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Thrift Supervision intends to give these issues special
scrutiny and reject applications providing for the remutualization of a mutual holding company unless the
applicant can clearly demonstrate that the Office of Thrift Supervisions concerns are not warranted in the
particular case. The Office of Thrift Supervision will require empirical data that demonstrates that the minority
stockholders are receiving a reasonable value in proportion to their interest in the company. If any of the pricing
parameters specified by the Office of Thrift Supervision are exceeded, the Office of Thrift Supervision will
consider requiring that the transaction be approved by a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the members of
the acquiring mutual and the target mutual holding company without the use of running proxies.
128
Since the Office of Thrift Supervision policy on remutualization transactions was issued, there has been
only one such transaction announced. It is likely that the pricing parameters imposed by the Office of Thrift
Supervision policy will make remutualization transactions less attractive to mutual holding companies.
Change in Bank Control Act. The acquisition of 10.0% or more of our outstanding common stock
may trigger the provisions of the Change in Bank Control Act. The Office of Thrift Supervision has also adopted a
regulation under the Change in Bank Control Act which generally requires persons who at any time intend to
acquire control of a federally chartered savings association or its holding company to provide 60 days prior written
notice and certain financial and other information to the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The 60-day notice period does not commence until the information is deemed to be substantially complete.
Control for these purposes exists in situations in which the acquiring party has voting control of at least 25.0% of
any class of our voting stock or the power to direct our management or policies. However, under Office of Thrift
Supervision regulations, control is presumed to exist where the acquiring party has voting control of at least 10.0%
of any class of our voting securities if specified control factors are present. The statute and underlying
regulations authorize the Office of Thrift Supervision to disapprove a proposed acquisition on certain specified
grounds.
129
Description of United Community Bancorp Capital Stock
The common stock of United Community Bancorp will represent nonwithdrawable capital, will not be an account of any type, and will not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. |
General
United Community Bancorp is authorized to issue 19,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value
of $.01 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $.01 per share. Each share of
United Community Bancorps common stock will have the same relative rights as, and will be identical in all
respects with, each other share of common stock. Upon payment of the purchase price for the common stock, as
required by the plan of reorganization and stock issuance, all stock will be duly authorized, fully paid and
nonassessable. United Community Bancorp will not issue any shares of preferred stock in the reorganization.
Common Stock
Dividends. United Community Bancorp can pay dividends if, as and when declared by its Board of
Directors. The payment of dividends by United Community Bancorp is limited by law and applicable regulation.
See Our Dividend Policy. The holders of common stock of United Community Bancorp will be entitled to
receive and share equally in dividends declared by the Board of Directors of United Community Bancorp. If
United Community Bancorp issues preferred stock, the holders of the preferred stock may have a priority over the
holders of the common stock with respect to dividends.
Voting Rights. After the reorganization, the holders of common stock of United Community Bancorp
will possess exclusive voting rights in United Community Bancorp. They will elect United Community Bancorps
Board of Directors and act on other matters as are required to be presented to them under federal law or as are
otherwise presented to them by the Board of Directors. Except as discussed in Restrictions on Acquisition of
United Community Bancorp and United Community Bank, each holder of common stock will be entitled to one
vote per share and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. If United Community
Bancorp issues preferred stock, holders of United Community Bancorp preferred stock may also possess voting
rights.
Liquidation. In the unlikely event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of United Community
Bank, United Community Bancorp, as the sole holder of United Community Banks capital stock, would be entitled
to receive all of United Community Banks assets available for distribution after payment or provision for payment
of all debts and liabilities of United Community Bank, including all deposit accounts and accrued interest. Upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of United Community Bancorp, the holders of its common stock would be
entitled to receive all of the assets of United Community Bancorp available for distribution after payment or
provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities. If United Community Bancorp issues preferred stock, the
preferred stock holders may have a priority over the holders of the common stock upon liquidation or dissolution.
Preemptive Rights; Redemption. Holders of the common stock of United Community Bancorp will
not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares that may be issued. The common stock cannot be
redeemed.
Preferred Stock
United Community Bancorp will not issue any preferred stock in the reorganization and it has no current
plans to issue any preferred stock after the reorganization. Preferred stock may be issued with designations,
powers, preferences and rights as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The Board of Directors
130
can, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights
that could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding
an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control.
The transfer agent and registrar for United Community Bancorps common stock will be
, .
United Community Bancorp has registered its common stock with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not deregister its
common stock for a period of at least three years following the reorganization. As a result of registration, the
proxy and tender offer rules, insider trading reporting and restrictions, annual and periodic reporting and other
requirements of that statute will apply.
The legality of the common stock has been passed upon for us by Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP,
Washington, DC. The federal tax consequences of the reorganization have been opined upon by Muldoon Murphy
& Aguggia LLP and the state tax consequences of the reorganization have been opined upon by Clark, Schaefer,
Hackett & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP and Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co. have
consented to the references to their opinions in this prospectus. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. by Barnes & Thornburg LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana.
The consolidated financial statements of United Community Bank at June 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the
three years in the period ended June 30, 2005 appearing in this prospectus and in the registration statement have
been audited by Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co., an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in
its report appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement and are included in
reliance upon such report given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Keller & Company, Inc. has consented to the summary in this prospectus of its report to United
Community Bank setting forth its opinion as to the estimated pro forma market value of United Community
Bancorp and United Community Bank, as converted, and to the use of its name and statements with respect to it
appearing in this prospectus.
131
Where You Can Find More Information
United Community Bancorp has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that registers the common stock offered in the
reorganization, including the shares to be contributed to United Community Bank Charitable Foundation. The

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To The Board of Directors
United Community Bank:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of United Community Bank as of June 30, 2005
and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Banks management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of United Community Bank at June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: |
The following describes the organization and the significant accounting policies followed in
the preparation of these financial statements.
Nature of operations
United Community Bank (the Bank) is a federal chartered savings bank and a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system (FHLB) subject to regulation
by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), an office of the U.S. Department of
Treasury. The Bank was formed as a result of a merger of Perpetual Federal
Savings and Loan Association into Progressive Federal Savings Bank and the
immediate change of name to United Community Bank which occurred April 12,
1999. As a member of the FHLB system, United Community Bank maintains a
required investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Indianapolis.
The Banks business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and
applying those funds in the origination of residential, consumer and
nonresidential loans. The Companys profitability is significantly dependent on
its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated
from interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investments) and the interest expense
paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. customer deposits and borrowed funds).
Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances.
The level of interest rates paid or received by United Community Bank can be
significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as
governmental monetary policy, that are outside of managements control.
Savings accounts are insured by the Savings Bank Insurance Fund (SAIF), a
division of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), within certain
limitations. Semi-annual premiums are required by the SAIF for the insurance of
such savings accounts.
The accompanying financial statements and related selected footnote data as of
September 30, 2005 and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004, are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments

Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its
wholly owned service corporation, United Community Service Corp. Total
assets of the service corporation consist of cash of $119,561, $110,736 and
$59,093 at September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Bank considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities when purchased of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash
and Federal Home Loan Bank time deposit, demand deposit accounts, and
commercial paper.
Investment securities
Investments and mortgage-backed securities are classified upon acquisition into
one of three categories, held to maturity, trading, and available for sale. Debt
securities that the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held to maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. Debt and
equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in
the near-term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Bank has no trading
securities. Debt and equity securities not classified as either held to maturity
securities or trading securities are classified as available for sale securities and
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses excluded from earnings and
reported as a separate component of equity, net of deferred taxes.
Securities are recorded net of applicable premium or discount with the premium or
discount being amortized on the straight line or interest method over the estimated
average life of the investment.
The Bank designates its investment in U. S. League Intermediate-Term Portfolio,
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Common Stock and corporate bonds
as available for sale as well as certain mortgage-backed securities.
Gains and losses realized on the sale of investment securities are accounted for on
the trade date using the specific identification method.
Loans receivable
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding
unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-offs or specific valuation accounts
and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or unamortized premiums
or discounts on purchased loans. Interest on loans is calculated by using the
F - 8
simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding.
Loans held for sale are recorded at lower of cost or market determined in the
aggregate. The Bank had no loans designated as held for sale at September 30,
2005, June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and
recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan.
The Bank retains the servicing on loans sold and agrees to remit to the investor
loan principal and interest at agreed-upon rates. These rates can differ from the
loans contractual interest rate resulting in a yield differential. In addition to
previously deferred loan origination fees and cash gains, gains on sale of loans can
represent the present value of the future yield differential less normal servicing
fees, capitalized over the estimated life of the loans sold. Normal servicing fees are
determined by reference to the stipulated minimum servicing fee set forth by the
government agencies to whom the loans are sold. Such servicing fees are
amortized to operations over the life of the loans using the interest method. If
prepayments are higher than expected, an immediate charge to operations is made.
If prepayments are lower than original estimates, then the related adjustments are
made prospectively.
The mortgage servicing rights, recorded by the Bank, were segregated into pools
for valuation purposes using as pooling criteria the loan term and coupon rate.
Once pooled, each grouping of loans was evaluated on a discounted earnings basis
to determine the present value of the future earnings that a purchaser could expect
to realize from each portfolio. Earnings were projected from a variety of sources
including loan-servicing fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on
escrows, miscellaneous income and costs to service the loans. The present value
of future earnings is the economic value for the pool.
The allowance for loan and real estate losses is increased by charges to income and
decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Managements periodic evaluation of
the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Banks past loan loss experience,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the
borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and
current economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks allowance
for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the
allowance based on judgments different from those of management.
Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates,
future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating,
regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Banks control.
The internal asset review committee reviews each loan delinquent three payments
or more, that is ninety days or more, and decides on whether the circumstances
involved, give reason to placing the loan on non-accrual status. The Board of
F - 9
Directors reviews this information as determined by the internal asset review
committee each month.
Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts
contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment
within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment
performance by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of interest
and principal. While a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest income is generally
recognized on a cash basis.
A loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Bank considers its investment in
one-to-four family residential loans and consumer installment loans to be
homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of
impairment. With respect to the Banks investment in multi-family and
nonresidential loans, such loans are collateral dependent and, as a practical
expedient, are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Collateral dependent loans
which are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute more than
a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment at that time.
Concentration of credit risk
The Bank grants primarily residential loans to customers in local counties in South
Eastern Indiana. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial
portion of its debtors ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the local
economy.
Management may, at times, maintain deposit accounts with financial institutions in
excess of federal deposit insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates
used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors
including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local
economy. Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect
the Companys net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and
liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation
of the financial statements.
Other real estate owned
F - 10
Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially
recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure. Holding costs are expensed when
incurred. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance
for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a
property exceeds its estimated net realizable value.
Property and equipment
The Bank carries property and equipment at cost. Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Income taxes
Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that the amount of net
deductible or taxable temporary differences or carry forward attributes may be
utilized against current period earnings, carried back against prior years earnings,
offset against taxable temporary differences reversing in future periods, or utilized
to the extent of managements estimate of future taxable income. A valuation
allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that the value of net
deductible temporary differences and carry forward attributes exceeds
managements estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income. Deferred tax
liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary differences taxable in
the future.
The Banks principal temporary differences between pretax financial income and
taxable income result primarily from the different methods of accounting for
deferred loan origination fees, Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends, certain
components of retirement and post-retirement expense and book and tax bad debt
deductions. Additional temporary differences result from depreciation expense
computed utilizing accelerated methods for federal income tax purposes.
Advertising
The Bank expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs consist
primarily of television, radio, newspaper and billboard advertising.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2004 and 2003 Consolidated Financial Statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. This has resulted in
no change to net income, or retained earnings of the Company.

9. | Financial Instruments: |
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair values of financial
instruments, cash, interest bearing deposits and investment in FHLB stock. The carrying
value of cash and interest bearing deposits approximates those assets fair value.
Investments and mortgage-backed securities
For investment securities (debt instruments) and mortgage-backed securities, fair
values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices of
comparable instruments.
Loans receivable
The fair value of the loan portfolio is estimated by evaluating homogeneous
categories of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by
types, such as residential mortgage, commercial real estate, and consumer. Each
loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest, terms,
and by performing and non-performing categories.
The fair value of performing loans, except residential mortgage loans, is calculated
by discounting contractual cash flows using estimated market discount rates which
reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. For performing
residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash
flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using discount rates based on secondary
market sources. The fair value for significant non-performing loans is based on
recent internal or external appraisals. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash
flow, and discount rates are judgmentally determined by using available market
information.
Deposits
The fair values of passbook accounts, NOW accounts, and money market savings
and demand deposits approximates their carrying values. The fair value of fixed
maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow
F - 22
calculation that applies interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar
maturities.
Off-balance sheet items
Carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. These instruments are
generally variable rate or short-term in nature, with minimal fees charged.
The estimated fair values of the Banks financial instruments at June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as

The Bank has not recorded a valuation allowance, as the deferred tax assets are presently
considered to be realizable based on the level of anticipated future taxable income. Net
deferred tax liabilities and federal income tax expense in future years can be significantly
affected by changes in enacted tax rates.
In 2005, the Bank qualified for the federal rehabilitation tax credit for its improvements to a
historical building located in Southwestern Indiana. The credit of approximately $231,000
reduces federal income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2005.

16. | Bad Debt Reserve Recapture: |
A bill repealing the thrift bad debt reserve has been signed into law and is effective for
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995. All savings banks and thrifts were
required to account for tax reserves for bad debts in the same manner as banks. Such
entities with assets less than $500 million will be required to maintain a moving average
expense based reserve and no longer will be able to calculate a reserve based on a
percentage of taxable income.
F - 27
Tax reserves accumulated after 1987 will automatically be subject to recapture. The
recapture will occur in equal amounts over six years beginning in 1997 and can be deferred
up to two years, depending on the level of loans originated.
As a result of the tax law change, the Bank is expected to ultimately recapture $748,478 of
tax reserves accumulated after 1987, resulting in additional tax payments of $255,000. The
recapture of these reserves will not result in any significant income statement effect to the Bank.
Pre-1988 tax reserves will not have to be recaptured unless the Bank or successor
institution liquidates, redeems shares or pays a dividend in excess of earnings and profits.
17. | Deferred Compensation: |
In March 2002 the Bank adopted a supplemental retirement income program with selected
officers and board members. To fund this plan, the Bank purchased single-premium life
insurance policies on each officer and director, at a cumulative total cost of $5,100,000.
The cash surrender value of these policies was $5,955,116, $5,898,842 and $5,676,770 at
September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The directors liability is
accrued based on life expectancies, return on investment and a discount rate. For the
officers, an annual contribution based on actuarial assumptions, is made to a secular trust
with the employee as beneficiary. Deferred compensation payments will be funded out of
accumulated assets of the secular trust at age 65. If the officer leaves employment of the
bank before age 65, deferred compensation payments are funded by available assets in the
secular trust. No further funding is required by the Bank, with the exception that upon a
change in control of the Bank, the plan provides for full supplemental benefits which would
have occurred at age 65.
Future expected contributions for the funding of officers deferred compensation is as
follows:

supplemental retirement expense of $964,360, $932,679 and $641,559, respectively, and
expensed $63,970, $408,605, $419,515 and $353,629 for officers and directors
supplemental retirement expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the
years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

18. | Leases: |
During 2003 the bank entered into a lease agreement with the City of Lawrenceburg, to
lease the Walnut St. branch for fifteen months. During 2004 this lease was extended for one
month. Lease expense for June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $16,492, $197,904 and
$49,476, respectively.
The Bank has a three-year operating lease for one of its branches. Lease expense for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004
and 2003 was $6,268, $6,728, $25,829, $26,310 and $24,518, respectively. Future
minimum lease payments under this lease agreement are as follows as of September 30,

in a strip mall where the Bank has a branch. Revenue from these leases for the three months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003
was $12,862, $10,424 $52,825, $52,449 and $49,575, respectively.
Future minimum lease revenue to be received on these leases is as follows:
2006 |
$ | 13,557 | |
19. | Loan Commitments: |
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments to
extend credit that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
These commitments involve elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in
the balance sheet.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments for loans as it does for
loans that have been disbursed and recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. The
Company generally requires collateral when it makes loan commitments, which generally
consists of the right to receive first mortgages on improved or unimproved real estate when
performance under the contract occurs.
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 some
portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Certain of
these commitments are for fixed rate loans, and, therefore, their value is subject to market
risk as well as credit risk.
F - 29
At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the Companys total commitment to extend
credit was approximately $23,800,000 and $19,900,000, respectively.

21. | Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance |
On September 22, 2005, the Banks Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Reorganization
and Stock Issuance pursuant to which the Bank will: (i) convert to a stock savings bank
(Stock Bank), (ii) organize a stock holding company (Stock Holding Company) as a
federally chartered corporation that will own 100% of the issued and outstanding common
stock of the Stock Bank, and (iii) organize a mutual holding company (MHC) as a
federally chartered mutual holding company that will own at least 51% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Stock Holding Company so long as the MHC remains in
existence. The Stock Bank will succeed to the business and operation of the Bank in mutual
form and the Stock Holding Company will sell a minority interest in its common stock in a
public stock offering in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Reorganization and Stock
Issuance. The Bank also intends to establish a charitable foundation in connection with the
reorganization and minority stock offering.
The Plan of Reorganization and Stock Issuance must be approved by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and by the Banks depositors. The Stock Holding Companys registration
statement for the common stock to be issued in the minority stock offering must be declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Stock Holding Company plans
to offer to the public shares of common stock representing a minority ownership interest
based on the estimated pro forma market value of the Bank as determined by an independent
appraisal.
Following completion of the reorganization, all depositors who had membership or
liquidation rights with respect to the Bank as of the effective date of the reorganization will
continue to have such rights with respect to the MHC so long as they continue to hold
deposit accounts with the Bank. In addition, all persons who become depositors of the
Bank after the reorganization will have such membership and liquidation rights with respect
to the MHC.
Reorganization costs of approximately $52,000 and $0 have been incurred as of September
30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. If the reorganization is ultimately successful,
reorganization costs will be accounted for as a reduction of the stock proceeds. If the
reorganization is unsuccessful, reorganization costs will be charged to the Banks
operations.

22. | Future Accounting Issues: |
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees. This statement will require that all share-based payments to employees,
including grants of employee stock options, be recognized as compensation costs in the
financial statements based on their fair values. The effective date of this Statement was
delayed until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Bank anticipates adopting this
standard as required, upon approval of the stock option plan after conversion.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets,
an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, which eliminates the exception from fair value
measurement for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a
general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial
substance. The statement defines a non-monetary exchange with commercial substance as
one in which the future cash flows of an entity are expected to change significantly as a
result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2005. The Bank will adopt this statement as required, and management does not believe the
adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-5 Implicit
Variable Interests under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities. FSP FIN 46(R)-5 provides guidance for a reporting enterprise that holds an
implicit variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and is also a related party to
other variable interest holders. This guidance requires that if the aggregate variable interests
held by the reporting enterprise and its related parties would, if held by a single party,
identify that party as the primary beneficiary, then the party within the related party group
that is most closely associated with the VIE is the primary beneficiary. The effective date of
FSP FIN 46(R)-5 is the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2005 with early
application permitted for periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The
Bank does not believe that implementation of this FSP will have a material effect on its
results of operations or financial position as it does not have any Variable Interest Entities.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the
required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit
transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. The statement
provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle is impracticable. The statement also addresses the reporting of a
correction of error by restating previously issued financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The Bank will adopt this statement as required, and management
does not believe the adoption will have a material effect on its results of operations or
financial position.

Item 14. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Article XII of the Registrants Bylaws provides:
The Subsidiary Holding Company shall indemnify all officers, directors and employees of the Subsidiary Holding Company, and their heirs, executors and administrators, to the fullest extent permitted under federal law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by them in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which they may be involved by reason of their having been a director or officer of the Subsidiary Holding Company, whether or not they continue to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities, such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys fees and the cost of reasonable settlements.
Generally, federal law provides indemnity coverage for:

(i) Any amount for which that person becomes liable under a judgment in such action; and
(ii) Reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, actually paid or incurred by that person in defending or settling such action, or in enforcing his or her rights under this section if he or she attains a favorable judgment in such enforcement action.
(b) Indemnification shall be made to such person only if:
(i) Final judgment on the merits is in his or her favor; or
(ii) In case of:
a. | Settlement; |
b. | Final judgment against him or her; or |
c. | Final judgment in his or her favor, other than on the merits, if a majority of the disinterested directors of the savings association determine that he or she was acting in good faith within the scope of his or her employment or authority as he or she could reasonably have perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he or she could reasonably have believed under the circumstances was in the best interests of the savings association or its members. |
However, no indemnification shall be made unless the association gives the Office of Thrift Supervision at least 60 days notice of its intention to make such indemnification. No such indemnification shall be made if the Office of Thrift Supervision advises the association in writing, within such notice period, of its objection thereto.
(c) As used in this paragraph:
(i) | Action means any judicial or administrative proceeding, or threatened proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or otherwise, including any appeal or other proceeding for review. |
(ii) | Court includes, without limitation, any court to which or in which any appeal or any proceeding for review is brought. |
(iii) | Final judgment means a judgment, decree or order which is not appealable or as to which the period for appeal has expired with no appeal taken. |
(iv) | Settlement includes the entry of a judgment by consent or confession or a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere. |

Item 17. | Undertakings. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | 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 forgoing, 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 in the effective registration statement; |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.:
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
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.
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 any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
