CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT. On February 20, 2001, United Community Financial Corp. ("UCFC") notified Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") that, upon completion of Deloitte & Touche's audit of UCFC's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, which is currently in process, UCFC will change auditors to Crowe Chizek and Company ("Crowe Chizek"). The decision to replace Deloitte & Touche with Crowe Chizek was based on Crowe Chizek's substantially lower fees, and was recommended by the Audit Committee of UCFC to the full Board of Directors which approved the decision. The reports of Deloitte & Touche on UCFC's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 do not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, and the subsequent interim period preceding UCFC's notification to Deloitte & Touche of its intention to dismiss Deloitte & Touche, there have been no disagreements between Deloitte & Touche and UCFC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, consolidated financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
