- --------------------------------

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

The registrant hereby represents that:

   [x]  (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of
this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
expense;

   [x]  (b) The subject report on Form 10-QSB or portion thereof will be

                                - 1 -



   [x]  (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III--NARRATIVE
- -------------------

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-QSB or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. 

On August 21, 1998, Unified Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company")
acquired Fiduciary Counsel, Inc. and EMCO Estate Management Company,
Inc.  In addition, on October 16, 1998, the Company entered into
agreements to acquire Equity Underwriting Group, Inc., Commonwealth
Premium Finance Corporation, Commonwealth Investment Services, Inc.,
AmeriPrime Financial Services, Inc. and Strategic Fund Services, Inc.  

Despite the Company's diligent efforts, completion of the Form 10-QSB
has been delayed due to the substantial amount of time that has been
devoted to the Company's recent acquisitions and the unanticipated
difficulties in incorporating the financial information of the target
companies into the Company's financial statements.

PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION
- --------------------------

   (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification:


        Timothy L. Ashburn       (317)           534-3301
              (Name)          (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

   (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for
such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such
report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
                                                     [X] Yes     [ ] No

   (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will
be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof?
                                                     [X] Yes     [ ] No

   If so:  attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
   The Company anticipates that the consolidated statements of income
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 will report net income of
$256,126, reflecting an increase of $121,241 over net income reported
for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in net
income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 is attributable to
the increased revenues associated with increased assets under
management.
