Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in the interest rate environment, legislative or regulatory changes that may adversely affect our business, changes in accounting policies and practices, changes in competition and demand for financial services, adverse changes in the securities markets, changes in deposit flows, and changes in the quality or composition of the Company's loan or investment portfolios. Additionally, other risks and uncertainties may be described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 7, 2012, which is available through the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake the responsibility, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

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: the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of 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; and value of collateral. Inherent loss factors are then applied to the remaining loan 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 the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), 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, which would negatively affect earnings. For additional discussion, see notes 11 and 12 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 7, 2012.

DEFERRED INCOME TAXES - We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740-10-50. 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. The Company applies the provisions of ASC 275-10-50-8 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. The Company recognized no interest and penalties on the underpayment of income taxes during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and had no accrued interest and penalties on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. The Company has no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase with the next twelve months. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets were $516.7 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $495.9 million at June 30, 2012. Total assets increased $20.8 million, or 4.2%, primarily as a result of a $10.3 million increase in cash and a $26.9 million increase in investment securities, partially offset by a $16.5 million decrease in loans. The increase in cash is primarily due to subscription funds held in escrow at the Bank at December 31, 2012 in connection with our previously announced conversion from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form on January 9, 2013. The increase in our investment securities was the result of purchases of mortgage-backed securities. The decrease in loans was primarily the result of payoffs aggregating $8.0 million for performing commercial real estate loans in addition to transfers to REO totaling $2.3 million during the six month period ending December 31, 2012.

Total liabilities were $438.5 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $440.9 million at June 30, 2012. Additionally, commitments and contingencies totaled $22.9 million at December 31, 2012 as a result of subscription funds received in conjunction with the aforementioned conversion. There was no recorded balance in commitments and contingencies at June 30, 2012.

Total stockholders' equity was $55.3 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $55.0 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, partially offset by dividends paid of $812,000 during the six month period. As previously announced, the Company suspended the payment of dividends as a result of the cost and uncertainty associated with United Community MHC's ability to waive receipt of the Company's dividends. This cost and uncertainty was due to the Federal Reserve Board requirement that a "grandfathered" mutual holding company, like United Community MHC, obtain member (depositor) approval and comply with other procedural requirements prior to waiving dividends, which would make dividend waivers impracticable. Accordingly, on August 31, 2012, the Company paid a cash dividend to all stockholders, including United Community MHC, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, which totalled $812,000, including $512,000 paid to United Community MHC.

Loans. At December 31, 2012, one- to four- family residential loans totaled $135.0 million, or 49.7% of total gross loans, compared to $139.5 million, or 48.4% of total gross loans, at June 30, 2012. The reduction in the one- to four-family residential portfolio during the 2012 period was primarily due principal repayments coupled with our strategy of selling in the secondary market newly-originated fixed-rate loans with terms longer than 10 years.

Multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans totaled $89.0 million and represented 32.8% of total loans at December 31, 2012, compared to $101.4 million, or 35.2% of total loans, at June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the repayment of one nonresidential real estate loan totaling $1.8 million and two multi-family real estate loans totaling $4.0 million.

The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

Net interest income decreased $429,000, or 11.8%, to $3.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $3.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The decrease of $597,000 in interest income was partially offset by a $168,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the average interest rate earned on loans from 5.60% to 4.94%, a $16.4 million decrease in the average balance of loans and a decrease in the average rate earned on investments from 2.16% to 1.81%, partially offset by a $42.2 million increase in the average balance of investments. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits from 1.01% to 0.78%, partially offset by a $17.0 million increase in the average balance of outstanding deposits and a $9.0 million increase in the average balance of outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Net interest income decreased $742,000, or 10.3%, to $6.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $7.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease of $1.1 million in interest income was partially offset by a $317,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the average interest rate earned on loans from 5.54% to 4.96%, a $12.3 million decrease in the average balance of loans and a decrease in the average rate earned on investments from 2.28% to 1.90%, partially offset by a $32.9 million increase in the average balance of investments. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits from 1.06% to 0.84%, partially offset by a $16.0 million increase in the average balance of outstanding deposits and a $9.0 million increase in the average balance of outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Changes in interest rates are reflective of decreases in overall market rates.
