UNITED COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

United Community Financial Corp. (United Community or the Company) was incorporated under Ohio law in February 1998 by The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio (Home Savings) in connection with the conversion of Home Savings from an Ohio mutual savings and loan association to an Ohio capital stock savings association (the Conversion). Upon consummation of the Conversion on July 8, 1998, United Community became the unitary thrift holding company for Home Savings. Home Savings, a state-chartered savings bank, conducts business from its main office located in Youngstown, Ohio, 32 full-service branches and nine loan production offices located throughout Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

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

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes contained in United Community’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity.

2. REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT ACTION

United Community is a unitary thrift holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). On August 8, 2008, the board of directors of United Community approved a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the predecessor regulator of United Community (the Holding Company Order). The Holding Company Order required United Community to obtain FRB approval prior to: (i) incurring or increasing its debt position; (ii) repurchasing any United Community stock; or (iii) paying any dividends. The Holding Company Order also required United Community to develop a debt reduction plan and submit the plan to the OTS for approval. The Holding Company Order, as subsequently amended was terminated on July 2, 2013. On July 9, 2013, United Community entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the Holding Company MOU) with the FRB, under which United Community agreed not to pay dividends, repurchase shares, or take on debt without the FRB’s prior approval.

The Holding Company MOU was terminated on January 8, 2014.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended existing guidance related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. These amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application was permitted. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In January 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan.

9

Specifically, the new ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required detailing the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgages collateralized by real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional disclosures.

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. STOCK COMPENSATION

Stock Options:

On April 26, 2007, shareholders approved the United Community Financial Corp. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the 2007 Plan). The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to promote and advance the interests of United Community and its shareholders by enabling United Community to attract, retain and reward directors, directors emeritus, managerial and other key employees of United Community, including Home Savings, by facilitating their purchase of an ownership interest in United Community. The 2007 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares that are to be used for awards of restricted stock, stock options, performance awards, stock appreciation rights (SARs), or other forms of stock-based incentive awards. There were 5,443 stock options granted in 2014 and there were 12,317 stock options granted in 2013 under the 2007 Plan. The options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant.

On July 12, 1999, shareholders approved the United Community Financial Corp. 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the 1999 Plan). The purpose of the 1999 Plan was the same as the 2007 Plan. The 1999 Plan terminated on May 20, 2009, although the 1999 Plan survives so long as options issued under the 1999 Plan remain outstanding and exercisable.

The 1999 Plan provided for the grant of either incentive or nonqualified stock options. Options were awarded at exercise prices that were not less than the fair market value of the share at the grant date. The maximum number of common shares that could be issued under the 1999 Plan was 3,569,766. Because the 1999 Plan terminated, no additional options may be issued under it. All of the options awarded became exercisable on the date of grant except that options granted in 2009 became exercisable over three years beginning on December 31, 2009. All options expire 10 years from the date of grant.

Expenses related to stock option grants are included with salaries and employee benefits. The Company recognized $6,197 in stock option expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized $18,748 in stock option expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized $5,344 in stock option expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized $14,814 in stock option expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company expects to recognize additional expense of $5,729 for the remainder of 2014, $17,661 in 2015 and $1,406 in 2016.

Restricted Stock Awards:

The 2007 Plan permits the issuance of restricted stock awards to employees and nonemployee directors. Nonvested shares at September 30, 2014 aggregated 333,588, of which 113,801 will vest during 2014, 93,958 will vest in 2015, 60,615 will vest in 2016 and 65,214 will vest in 2017. Expenses related to restricted stock awards are charged to salaries and employee benefits and are recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the market value of the shares at the grant date. The Company recognized approximately $120,000 in restricted stock award expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized approximately $356,000 in restricted stock award expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

All of the U.S. Treasury and government sponsored entities (GSE) and mortgage-backed securities that were temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were impaired due to the level of interest rates at that time. Unrealized losses on U.S. Treasury and government sponsored entities and mortgage-backed securities have not been recognized into income as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because the issuer’s securities are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. From April 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013, the 10-year treasury yield rose from 1.70% to 3.04% which caused the securities portfolio to lose value. Since December 31, 2013, the 10-year treasury yield has fallen to 2.52% resulting in an increase in the value of the portfolio. The duration of the securities portfolio was approximately 6.3 years at September 30, 2014. There is risk that longer term rates could rise further resulting in greater unrealized losses. The Company can look for opportunities to sell securities to reduce the portfolio or change the duration characteristics. All of the securities are GSE issued debt or mortgage-backed securities and carry the same rating as the U.S. Government. The Company expects to realize all interest and principal on these securities and has no intent ot sell and more than lilely will not be required to sell these securities until maturity.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company expects to realize all interest and principal on these securities.

Proceeds from sales of equity securities available for sale were $470,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross gains of $328,000 and $0 were realized on these sales during the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Proceeds from sales of equity and other securities available for sale were $5.5 million and $97.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross gains of $362,000 and $2.6 million were realized on these sales during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments extend over various periods of time with the majority of such commitments disbursed within a sixty-day period, but can be extended up to 36 months. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may require payment of a fee and may expire unused. Commitments to extend credit at fixed rates expose Home Savings to some degree of interest rate risk. Home Savings evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The type or amount of collateral obtained varies and is based on management’s credit evaluation of the potential borrower. Home Savings normally has a number of outstanding commitments to extend credit.

A troubled debt restructuring is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

The troubled debt restructurings described above that subsequently defaulted resulted in no charge-offs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, and had no effect on the provision for loan losses.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes homogeneous loans past due 90 cumulative days, and all non-homogeneous loans including commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are primarily monitored by payment status.

Asset quality ratings are divided into two groups: Pass (unclassified) and Classified. Within the unclassified group, certain loans that display potential weakness are risk rated as special mention. In addition, there are three classified risk ratings: substandard, doubtful and loss. These specific credit risk categories are defined as follows:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

36

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value, that continuance as assets is not warranted. Although there may be a chance of recovery on these assets, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset.

The Company monitors loans on a monthly basis to determine if they should be included in one of the categories listed above. All impaired non-homogeneous credits classified as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are analyzed on an individual basis for a specific reserve requirement. This analysis is performed on each individual credit at least annually or more frequently if warranted.

9. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Home Savings sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that was curtailed in 2000, but continues to provide post-retirement medical benefits for employees who had worked 20 years and attained a minimum age of 60 by September 1, 2000, while in service with Home Savings. The plan is contributory and contains minor cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. In addition, post-retirement life insurance coverage is provided for employees who were participants prior to December 10, 1976. The life insurance plan is non-contributory. Home Savings’ policy is to pay premiums monthly, with no pre-funding.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset if paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

40

United Community uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Available for sale securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2).

Impaired loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are individually evaluated at least annually for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by Home Savings. Once received, a member of the Special Assets Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with the independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. In addition to the Special Assets Department review, a third party independent review is also performed.  On an annual basis, Home Savings compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. At the time a property is acquired and classified as real estate owned, the fair value is determined utilizing the most appropriate method. A fair value in excess of $250,000 will be supported by an appraisal. After determination of fair value, each property will be recorded at the lower of cost (i.e., recorded investment in the loan) or the estimated net realizable value on the date of transfer to real estate owned. In determining net realizable value, reductions to fair market value may be taken for estimated costs of sale, conditions that must be remedied immediately upon acquisition, and other factors that negatively impact the marketability and prompt sale of the property.

Mortgage servicing rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that tranche so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Fair value is determined at a tranche level, based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (Level 2).

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

Interest rate caps: Home Savings uses an independent third party that performs a market valuation analysis for interest rate caps. The methodology used consists of a discounted cash flow model, all future floating cash flows are projected and both floating and fixed cash flows are discounted to the valuation date. The yield curve utilized for discounting and projecting is built by obtaining publicly available third party market quotes from Reuters, which handle up to 30-year swap maturities (Level 3). Assumptions used in the valuation of interest rate caps are back-tested for reasonableness on a quarterly basis using an independent source along with a third party service.

41

Purchased and written certificate of deposit option: Home Savings periodically enters into written and purchased option derivative instruments to facilitate the Power CD. The written and purchased options are mirror derivative instruments which are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Home Savings uses an independent third party that performs a market valuation analysis for purchased and written certificate of deposit options. (Level 2)

Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses, carried at fair value, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net carrying amount of $4.9 million at September 30, 2014, that includes a specific valuation allowance of $450,000. This resulted in a increase of the provision for loan losses of $21,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $460,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses, carried at fair value, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net carrying amount of $2.2 million at September 30, 2013, which includes a specific valuation allowance of $808,000. This resulted in an increase in the provision for loan losses of $307,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses, carried at fair value, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net carrying amount of $4.1 million at December 31, 2013, that includes a specific valuation allowance of $792,000.

The significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral dependent impaired loans included in the above table primarily relate to the adjustment between carrying values versus appraised value. During the reported periods, discounts applied to appraisals for estimated selling costs were 10%.

At September 30, 2014, mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value were $228,000, resulting in a net valuation allowance of $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2013, mortgage servicing rights, carried at fair value, totaled $387,000, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $391,000, net of a valuation allowance of $4,000. At December 31, 2013, mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value of $0, resulting in a net recovery of $680,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Mortgage servicing rights are valued by an independent third party that is active in purchasing and selling these instruments. The value reflects the characteristics of the underlying loans discounted at a market multiple.

At September 30, 2014, other real estate owned, carried at fair value, which is measured for impairment using the fair value of the property less estimated selling costs and had a gross carrying amount of $6.3 million, with a valuation allowance of $3.5 million. This resulted in additional expenses of $140,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and additional expenses of $578,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2013, other real estate owned, carried at fair value, which is measured for impairment using the fair value of the property less estimated selling costs, and had a net carrying amount of $6.4 million with a valuation allowance of $6.7 million. This resulted in additional expenses of $464,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and additional expenses of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2013, other real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $4.2 million, with a valuation allowance of $4.1 million.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) FHLB Stock

It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(c) Loans

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification; fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification; and impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(d) Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(e) Short-term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within 90 days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Other Borrowings

The fair values of Home Savings long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification, depending on the classification of the underlying asset or liability.

(h) Off-balance Sheet Instruments

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has granted stock compensation awards with nonforfeitable dividend rights which are considered participating securities. As such, earnings per share is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC 206-10-45. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes the participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but also excludes awards considered participating securities. Stock options for 75,008 shares were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and stock options for 685,272 shares were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Stock options for 78,220 shares were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and stock options for 681,962 shares were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As previously announced and described under Note 16 below, United Community sold 7,942 preferred shares to various investors. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, United Community recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of these preferred shares because they contain a conversion feature at a fixed rate that was in-the-money when issued. A BCF is “in-the-money” when the investor is deemed to be able to obtain the underlying common shares at a below-market price upon conversion of the preferred shares. The BCF was recognized in United Community’s Shareholders’ Equity and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The effective purchase price of the common shares into which the preferred shares were convertible was deemed to be $2.75, which was used to compute the intrinsic value. The intrinsic value was calculated as the difference between the deemed purchase price of the common shares ($2.75 per share) and the market value ($3.60 per share) on the date the preferred shares were issued (March 22, 2013), multiplied by the number of shares into which the preferred shares were convertible.

The BCF resulting from the issuance of the preferred shares of United Community is calculated as follows:

Total common shares that may be issued upon conversion of preferred shares		7,942,000
Intrinsic value (difference between consideration allocated to preferred stock upon conversion at $2.75 per share and market price of $3.60 per share on March 22, 2013)	$	0.85
Beneficial conversion feature	$	6,750,700

The BCF has no effect on net income. The BCF calculated above is deemed to be an implied dividend for purposes of determining earnings per common share in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is amortized over the period the preferred shares were outstanding. The preferred shares converted to common shares upon shareholder approval which was obtained in the second quarter of 2013. This amortization resulted in a reduction to retained earnings and thus net income available to common shareholders for earnings per common share purposes. Therefore, United Community took into account the BCF discount when computing earnings per common share in 2013.

13. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Other comprehensive income (loss) included in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity consists of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and reflects no change in unrealized gains and losses on postretirement liability. The change includes $328,000 reclassification of gains on sales of securities and no impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and no gains on sales of securities and no impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The change includes $362,000 reclassification of gains on sales of securities and no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and gains on sales of securities of $2.6 million and no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, management concluded it was more likely than not that the Company’s net deferred tax asset (DTA) would be realized and accordingly determined a full deferred tax valuation allowance was no longer required. Upon reversal of the former full deferred tax valuation allowance as of September 30, 2014, certain disproportionate tax effects are retained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) totaling approximately a ($16.6) million loss. Almost the entire disproportionate tax effect is attributable to valuation allowance expense recorded through other comprehensive income (loss) on the tax benefit of losses sustained on the available for sale securities portfolio while the Company was in a full deferred tax valuation allowance. This valuation allowance was appropriately reversed through continuing operations at June 30, 2014, leaving the original expense in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), where it will remain in accordance with the Company’s election of the “portfolio approach”, until such time as the Company would cease to have an available for sale security portfolio.

14. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Home Savings is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Home Savings and United Community. The regulations require Home Savings to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines in keeping with the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action that involve quantitative measures of Home Savings’ assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Home Savings’ capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation for capital adequacy require Home Savings to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 (or Core) capital (as defined in the regulations) to average total assets (as defined) and of total risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Actual and regulatory required capital ratios for Home Savings, along with the dollar amount of capital implied by such ratios, are presented below.

Deferred tax liabilities		7,711			10,089
Net deferred tax asset	$	31,029		$	—

As of September 30, 2014, the net deferred tax asset (DTA) was $31.0 million, and as of December 31, 2013, the net DTA (prior to any valuation allowance) was $42.8 million. Management recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 based on consideration of, but not limited to, its cumulative pre-tax losses during the past three years, the composition of recurring and non-recurring income from operations over the past several years and the magnitude of recent taxable income as compared to net operating loss carryforwards.

The remaining $1.1 million of valuation allowance is expected to reverse due to operating income projected for the remainder of 2014. The realization of a DTA is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the DTA will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as the DTA being more than 50% likely of being realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance against the net DTA is required. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered all available evidence about the realization of the DTA both positive and negative, that could be objectively verified.

Positive evidence considered included (1) the Company’s recent history of quarterly pre-tax earnings (with the most recent quarterly loss being recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2012), (2) expectations for sustained and continued profitability with sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the remaining net deferred tax benefits (3) significant reductions in the level of non-performing assets since their peak, which was the primary source of the losses generated in prior periods (4) resolution to an executive search placed on a key management position (5) evaluation of core earnings (6) adequacy of capital to fund balance sheet and future growth and (7) cost-saving initiatives triggered during 2014.

Negative evidence considered was (1) the uncertainty about the potential impact on future earnings from nonperforming assets along with (2) former pre-tax losses reported by the Company. As the number of consecutive periods of profitability increased and the level of profits are indicative of on-going results, the weight of cumulative losses as negative evidence decreased. A reduction in the weight given to such losses is further validated given that the source of the losses was due to an elevated level of problem assets and related credit costs, which have since been significantly reduced due to the bulk asset sale in 2012 and as evidenced by the improvements in the Company’s asset quality metrics.

54

After weighing both the positive and negative evidence, management determined that a valuation allowance on the net DTA was no longer warranted as of June 30, 2014. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s tax calculation, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K.

Net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2030.

The Company’s ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to any of these variables.

On January 11, 2013, United Community entered into securities purchase agreements with 28 accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to invest an aggregate of approximately $39.9 million in United Community for 6,574,272 newly issued common shares of United Community at a purchase price of $2.75 per share, and 7,942 newly created and issued perpetual mandatorily convertible non-cumulative preferred shares of United Community at a purchase price of $2,750 per share. On March 22, 2013, United Community received $39.9 million from the completion of this portion of the private placement of the capital raise. Upon receipt of United Community shareholder approval, each of the preferred shares automatically converted into 1,000 United Community common shares. Shareholder approval was obtained at a special meeting of shareholders held on May 28, 2013. The preferred shares did not pay any preferred dividends.

Also on January 11, 2013, United Community entered into subscription agreements with certain of United Community’s directors, officers and their affiliates pursuant to which these insider investors agreed to invest an aggregate of approximately $2.1 million in United Community for 755,820 newly issued common shares, at the same purchase price of $2.75 per share. The issuance and sale of common shares to the insider investors, pursuant to the subscription agreements, was subject to United Community shareholder approval, which was obtained on May 28, 2013.

On April 26, 2013, United Community issued a prospectus for the purpose of offering existing shareholders the right to purchase up to $5.0 million of United Community common shares at $2.75 per share. The rights offering closed on May 28, 2013 and United Community issued 1,818,181 shares to existing shareholders that elected to participate.

Legal, investment banking and other consulting expenses incurred by United Community to complete the capital raise were approximately $4.6 million in the aggregate. The increase in equity from the capital raise was reduced by these expenses.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

Total assets increased $63.7 million to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013. Contributing to the change were increases in net loans of $90.8 million, loans held for sale of $5.7 million and other assets of $29.3 million offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million, available for sale securities of $3.9 million, Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $8.4 million and real estate owned and other repossessed assets of $1.9 million.

Funds not currently utilized for general corporate purposes are invested in overnight funds. Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the first nine months of 2014 as excess funds held on deposit at the Federal Reserve were used to fund loan growth during the period.

The decrease in available for sale securities was the result of maturities, paydowns and amortization of securities totaling $20.1 million and sales of $5.5 million, offset by a positive market value adjustment of $23.6 million during the first nine months of 2014. The balance of the unrealized loss position at September 30, 2014 was $16.8 million, pretax. The unrealized loss position is primarily driven by market conditions. To that end, the Company expects to receive all principal and interest payments contractually due and has no intent to sell and more than likely will not be required to sell these securities until maturity. All of the securities are GSE issued debt or mortgage-backed securities and carry the same rating as the U.S. Government.

The duration of the securities portfolio was approximately 6.3 years at September 30, 2014. There is risk that longer term rates could rise, resulting in greater unrealized losses. It is also possible, however, that longer term rates could fall, resulting in the recovery of all of the unrealized losses. Management continues to allow the portfolio to decline in the normal course. In addition, the Company may look for opportunities to sell securities to continue to reduce the portfolio and/or change the duration characteristics of the portfolio.

Net loans increased $90.8 million during the first nine months of 2014. Contributing to the increase was a combination of an increase in permanent construction and secured commercial loans during the period. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the composition of net loans.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The allowance for loan losses was $18.1 million at September 30, 2014, down from $21.1 million at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.59% at September 30, 2014, compared to 2.01% at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 87.57% at September 30, 2014, compared to 89.52% at December 31, 2013. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are added back to the allowance. Home Savings’ allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies”. Accordingly, the methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade applied to specific risk pools, plus specific loss allocations and adjustments for current events and conditions. Home Savings’ process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for possible loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs. The provision for possible loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual loans, past due loans, classified loans and net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors.

During the first nine months of 2014, the Company recorded a negative loan loss provision of $1.5 million. The negative provision of $1.1 million associated with nonresidential real estate loans has been impacted by the payoff of a nonresidential real estate loan aggregating $7.7 million, which resulted in a release of approximately $748,000 in reserves. In addition, the negative provision of $995,000 associated with residential construction one- to four-family loans is being impacted by a change in loan loss factors. When construction is complete and the borrower occupies the residence, the loan will convert to a permanent one-to four- family residential loan. Accordingly, the loan loss factors applied to these construction one- to four-family residential loans are being aligned with one-to four-family residential real estate loans.

58

Home Savings individually analyzed a large portion of impaired mortgage and home equity loans in 2014. Many of these loans were deemed to have adequate collateral to cover any potential future losses allowing for the release of reserves. Finally, as a result of continued improvement in asset quality and a decline in loan loss history Home Savings has adjusted historical and environmental factors resulting in a decrease in reserves.

A loan is considered impaired when there is a deterioration of the credit worthiness of the borrower to the extent that there is no longer reasonable assurance of the timely collection of the full amount of principal and interest. The total outstanding balance of all impaired loans was $47.3 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $48.2 million at December 31, 2013. The schedule below summarizes impaired loans for September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Included in impaired loans above are certain loans Home Savings considers to be troubled debt restructurings (TDR). A loan is considered a TDR if Home Savings grants a concession to the debtor that it would otherwise not consider. The concession either stems from an agreement between the creditor and the debtor or is imposed by law or a court. If the debtor is not currently experiencing financial difficulties, but would probably be in payment default in the future without the modification, then this type of restructure also could be considered a TDR.

A TDR may include, but is not necessarily limited to, one or a combination of the following:

— Modification of the terms of a debt, such as one or a combination of:

— Reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the loan;

— Extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk;

— Reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the loan as stated in the instrument or other agreement; or

— Reduction of accrued interest.

59

— Transfer from the borrower to Home Savings of receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets to fully or partially satisfy a debt (including a transfer resulting from foreclosure or repossession).

— Issuance or other granting of an equity interest to Home Savings by the borrower to satisfy fully or partially a loan unless the equity interest is granted pursuant to existing terms for converting the debt into an equity interest.

A debt restructuring is not necessarily a TDR for purposes of this definition even if the borrower is experiencing some financial difficulties. A TDR is not involved if:

— the fair value of cash, other assets, or an equity interest accepted by Home Savings from a borrower in full satisfaction of its loan at least equals the recorded investment in the loan;

— the fair value of cash, other assets, or an equity interest transferred by a borrower to Home Savings in full settlement of its loan at least equals the carrying amount of the loan;

— Home Savings reduces the effective interest rate on the loan primarily to reflect a decrease in market interest rates in general or a decrease in the risk so as to maintain a relationship with a borrower that can readily obtain funds from other sources at the current market interest rate; or

— Home Savings issues, in exchange for the original loan, a new marketable loan having an effective interest rate based on its market price that is at or near the current market interest rates of loans with similar maturity dates and stated interest rates issued by other banks.

The change in TDRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is as follows:

Total Restructured Loans	$	29,568	$	31,518	$	(1,950	)

The decrease in the level of TDR loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable primarily to paydowns in accordance with terms of the loans.

60

Once a restructured loan has fallen into nonaccrual status, the restructured loan will remain on nonaccrual status for a period of at least six months until the borrower has demonstrated a willingness and ability to make the restructured loan payments. TDR loans that were on nonaccrual status aggregated $4.4 million and $4.9 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Such loans are considered nonperforming loans. TDR loans that were accruing according to their modified terms aggregated $25.1 million at September 30, 2014 and $26.6 million at December 31, 2013.

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing. Nonperforming loans were $20.7 million, or 1.85% of net loans, at September 30, 2014, compared to $23.6 million, or 2.29% of net loans, at December 31, 2013.

The schedule below summarizes the change in nonperforming loans for the first nine months of 2014.

Loans held for sale increased $5.8 million, or 118.4%, to $10.6 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $4.8 million at December 31, 2013. The change was primarily attributable to the originations of permanent construction loans during the period.  These loans are not sold until construction of the new residence is complete. Home Savings continues to sell a portion of newly originated mortgage loans into the secondary market as part of its risk management strategy and anticipates continuing to do so in the future.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock decreased to $18.1 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, the FHLB redeemed 83,962 shares, having a historical cost of $8.4 million (or $100 per share). Home Savings received cash for the redemption. There was no gain or loss recognized on the redemption. Also during the first nine months of 2014, the FHLB paid a cash dividend of $677,000 in lieu of stock dividends to its member banks.

61

Real estate owned and other repossessed assets decreased $1.9 million, or 29.2%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The following table summarizes the activity in real estate owned and other repossessed assets during the period:

	Real Estate Owned			Repossessed Assets			Total

Total real estate owned and other repossessed assets	$	7,992	$	(3,505	)	$	4,487

Real estate owned and other repossessed assets are recorded at the lower of (a) the loan’s acquisition balance or (b) the fair market value of the property secured less costs to sell. Appraisals are obtained at least annually on nonresidential real estate properties that exceed $1.0 million in value and residential real estate properties that exceed $250,000 in value. Based on current appraisals, a valuation allowance may be established to properly reflect the asset at fair value. The increase in the valuation allowance on property acquired was due to the decline in market value of those properties.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) is maintained on select officers and employees of Home Savings whereby Home Savings is the beneficiary. BOLI is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount currently realizable. Increases in the Home Savings’ policy cash surrender value are tax exempt and death benefit proceeds received by Home Savings are tax-free. Income from these policies and changes in the cash surrender value are recorded in other income. There is no post-termination coverage, split dollar or other benefits provided to participants covered by the BOLI. Home Savings recognized $1.1 million and $722,000, as other non-interest income based on the change in cash value of the policies in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Other assets increased $29.3 million, largely due to the reversal of the valuation allowance previously established on the Company’s net deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. When determining the amount of net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, United Community conducts a regular assessment of all available evidence, both positive and negative. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, taxable income in prior periods, projected future income, projected future reversals of deferred tax items and the future effects of enacted tax law changes. Based on these criteria, including projected usage of its net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, United Community determined that it was necessary to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2013.

62

As of September 30, 2014, the net deferred tax asset (DTA) was $31.0 million, and as of December 31, 2013, the net DTA (prior to any valuation allowance) was $42.8 million. Management maintained a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2013 based on consideration of, but not limited to, its cumulative pre-tax losses during the past three years, the composition of recurring and non-recurring income from operations over the past several years and the magnitude of recent taxable income as compared to net operating loss carryforwards.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had reversed $41.7 million of the valuation allowance on its net DTA. $3.0 million of the reversal is due to current year-to-date operating income; the remaining $38.7 million is due to management’s reassessment and judgment regarding the ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years. The realization of a DTA is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the DTA will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as the DTA being more than 50% likely of being realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance against the net DTA is required. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered all available evidence about the realization of the DTA both positive and negative, that could be objectively verified.

Positive evidence considered included (1) the Company’s recent history of quarterly pre-tax earnings (with the most recent quarterly loss being recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 due to a bulk sale of troubled assets), (2) expectations for sustained and continued profitability with sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the remaining net deferred tax benefits (3) significant reductions in the level of non-performing assets since their peak, which was the primary source of the losses generated in prior periods (4) resolution of an executive search focused on a key management position (5) evaluation of core earnings (6) adequacy of capital to fund balance sheet and future growth and (7) cost-saving initiatives realized during the quarter.

Negative evidence considered was (1) the uncertainty about the potential impact on future earnings from nonperforming assets along with (2) a pre-tax loss reported by the Company during one quarterly period over the previous eleven quarters. As the number of consecutive periods of profitability increased and the level of profits are indicative of on-going results, the weight of cumulative losses as negative evidence decreased. A reduction in the weight given to such losses is further validated given that the source of the losses was due to an elevated level of problem assets and related credit costs, which have since been significantly reduced due to the bulk asset sale in 2012 and as evidenced by the improvements in the Company’s asset quality metrics.

After weighing both the positive and negative evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance on the net DTA was no longer warranted as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s tax calculation, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K.

The Company’s ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to any of these variables.

Total deposits decreased $45.4 million to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013. Certificates of deposit declined $45.5 million and other interest bearing deposits declined $10.9 million.  Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in noninterest bearing deposits of $11.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, Home Savings had no brokered deposits.

Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $6.7 million during the first nine months of 2014. Remittance of real estate taxes and property insurance made on behalf of customers of Home Savings accounted for $1.8 million of the decrease. In addition, funds held for payments received on loans sold where servicing was retained by Home Savings decreased $4.9 million.

FHLB advances increased from $50.0 million at December 31, 2013 to $138.0 million at September 30, 2014. FHLB term advances were $50.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  Overnight advances were $88.0 million at September 30, 2014 and $0 at Decenber 31, 2013.The change in overnight advances was due to an increase of $88.0 million that partially funded the growth of the Company.  Additionally, the Company prepaid a $30.0 million tranche of repurchase agreements with overnight borrowings, discussed below.

Repurchase agreements and other borrowings decreased from $90.6 million at December 31, 2013 to $60.6 million at September 30, 2014.  At the end of September 2014, Home Savings prepaid one $30.0 million tranche of the Company’s repurchase agreements and, as a result, incurred a $1.4 million prepayment charge.  Due to the timing of the debt prepayment, there was minimal impact on the third quarter net interest margin.  The debt prepayment actions are one of many efforts underway to reduce the Company’s funding costs.

Home Savings receives requests for reimbursements from both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to make them whole on loans sold to them in the secondary market. These loans were originated by Home Savings in the normal course, but such loans have certain defined weaknesses such that a settlement to the investor is required. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Home Savings incurred expenses of $44,000 associated with such repurchases. Home Savings has included in other liabilities a reserve for future make-whole settlements aggregating $992,000 at September 30, 2014.

Other liabilities decreased $672,000 to $9.2 million at September 30, 2014, from $9.8 million at December 31, 2013. The change was the result of the payment of accrued expenses associated with severance payments, a reduction of $189,000 in the reserve for loan repurchases and the remittance of funds owed to the Small Business Administration after the sale of collateral secured on a foreclosed loan.

Shareholders’ equity increased $58.6 million to $233.7 million at September 30, 2014, from $175.1 million at December 31, 2013. The change occurred as a result of net income for the period, including the tax benefit recognized on the reversal of the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, along with positive adjustments to other comprehensive income for the recovery of value of available for sale securities during the period, offset by the payment of a quarterly dividend in the third quarter of 2014.

Accumulated other comprehensive income improved $15.4 million from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014. Unrealized losses on U.S. Treasury and government sponsored entities and mortgage-backed securities included in other comprehensive income have not been recognized into income at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because the issuer’s securities are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), management does not intend to sell (and it is likely that management will not be required to sell) the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to the rise in longer-term interest rates in 2013 and 2014. The fair value is expected to recover as the investments approach maturity.

In July 2013, United Community’s primary federal regulator, the FRB, and Home Savings’ primary federal regulator, the FDIC, along with other regulatory agencies, published final rules (the Basel III Capital Rules) that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain available-for-sale securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital risk-based weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meeting its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

The final rule becomes effective for Home Savings on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective. The final rule also implements consolidated capital requirements, effective January 1, 2015.

Events beyond management’s control, such as fluctuations in interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which Home Savings’ loans and securities are concentrated, could adversely affect future earnings and consequently Home Savings’ ability to meet its future capital requirements.

Book value per common share as of September 30, 2014 was $4.70 as compared to $3.48 per common share as of December 31, 2013. Book value per share is calculated as total common equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Book value was impacted by the overall change in equity as mentioned above.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended

September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

Net Income. United Community recognized net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014, of $2.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted common share compared to net income of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, or $0.03 per diluted share.

The increase in earnings for the third quarter of 2014 was primarily a result of the $541,000 lower provision for loan loss and a reversal of portions of the remaining valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets adjusted for forecasted 2014 income, which provided an income tax benefit of $369,000. In addition, the Company recorded $21,000 higher net interest income and $626,000 higher noninterest income.   These increases were offset partially by higher noninterest expense due to a prepayment charge on the early repayment of a repurchase agreement.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for both of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $12.7 million. Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 3.06% and 3.04%, respectively.

Total interest income decreased $273,000 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of a decrease of $31.7 million in the average balance of available for sale securities as well as a decrease in the yield on these assets of 13 basis points. These declines were offset by an increase in the average balance of net loans of $96.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year, despite a decrease in the yield on those assets of 35 basis points.

Total interest expense decreased $294,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same quarter last year. The change was due primarily to reductions of $299,000 in interest paid on deposits. The overall decrease in interest expense was a reduction in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $68.6 million.

The following table shows the impact of interest rate and outstanding balance (volume) changes compared to the third quarter of last year. The interest rate spread for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was 2.90 % and 2.89%, respectively. The net interest margin increased two basis points to 3.06% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 3.04% for the same quarter in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to income to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management to be adequate, based on management’s evaluation of such factors as the delinquency status of loans, current economic conditions, the net realizable value of the underlying collateral, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio and prior loan loss experience. The Company recognized a loan loss provision of $116,000 in the third quarter of 2014, compared to a $657,000 provision in the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, the provision was reduced by $326,000 due to the realignment of loan loss factors assigned to construction one-to four-family residential loans. The loan loss factors applied to these construction one- to four-family residential loans are being aligned with permanent one-to four-family residential real estate loans.

During the third quarter of 2014, chargeoffs exceeded provision expense primarily as a result of reserves for loans charged off being established in a prior period.  Home Savings also made a change in loan loss factors associated with residential construction one- to four-family loans. When construction is complete the loan will convert to a permanent one-to four- family residential loan. Accordingly, the loan loss factors applied to these construction one- to four-family residential loans are being aligned with one- to four-family residential real estate loans.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income in the third quarter of 2014 was $4.2 million, as compared to noninterest income for the third quarter of 2013 of $3.5 million. The increase in noninterest income was driven by increased nondeposit investment income, gains on the sale of available for sale securities and other income.   The increase in nondeposit investment income was due to higher sales volume in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the same quarter last year.  The change in gains recognized on the sale of available for sale securities was the result of sales in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in other income was the result of a valuation allowance on interest rate caps that was recognized in the third quarter of 2013.  A similar charge was not required in the third quarter of 2014.  These changes were offset by a decline in mortgage banking income of $219,000, resulting from a decrease of $11.6 million in mortgage originations sold, when comparing the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2013.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $14.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, a difference of $724,000. During the third quarter of 2014, Home Savings incurred a $1.4 million charge related to the prepayment of a repurchase agreement discussed above.  

In the third quarter of 2014, most other expenses decreased primarily because of lower expenses incurred on loans sold in the secondary market. Reduced FDIC insurance premiums of $303,000 and franchise/financial institutions tax expenses of $187,000 also contributed to the change. Reduced FDIC premiums are the result of the termination of all regulatory orders that the Bank had been operating under. The lower franchise/financial institutions tax is the result of a change in Ohio tax law. Salaries and employee benefits also declined, primarily due to cost reduction initiatives that began in the second quarter of 2014.

Income Taxes. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $369,000 on pre-tax income of $2.5 million, compared to tax expense of $350,000 on pre-tax income of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The primary reason for the variance was the reversal of portions of the remaining valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets adjusted for forecasted 2014 income in the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

After weighing both the positive and negative evidence, management determined that a valuation allowance on the net DTA was no longer warranted as of June 30, 2014 and not required as of September 30, 2014. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s tax calculation, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K.

The Company’s ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to any of these variables.

The Company expects tax expense for the remainder of the year to be offset by the reversal of the remaining valuation allowance, for an effective tax rate of zero, excluding the discrete benefit recorded in the second quarter. The effective tax rate for 2015 is expected to more closely reflect marginal tax rates.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended

September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

Net Income. United Community recognized net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, of $47.4 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share compared to net income of $7.8 million, before amortization of the discount on preferred stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. As part of the capital raise in 2013, United Community issued preferred stock that was later converted to common stock. No dividend was declared or paid on the preferred stock. However, because the preferred stock was issued at a price below the then market price of our common stock, the difference is deemed a non-cash dividend under U.S. GAAP and is deducted in the calculation of net income available to common shareholders. Therefore, net income available to common shareholders as of September 30, 2013 was $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

The significant increase in earnings for the first nine months of 2014 was primarily a result of the reversal of the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, which provided an income tax benefit of $39.1 million. In addition, the Company recorded a negative loan loss provision of $(1.5) million, compared to provision for loan losses of $3.8 million for the first nine months of 2013.

Net interest income for the period decreased $189,000. The provision for loan losses decreased $5.3 million during the same period. Additionally, non-interest income decreased $4.8 million and noninterest expense increased $261,000. United Community’s annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 3.58% and 30.46%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the comparable period in 2013 were 0.58% and 5.49%, respectively.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $38.1 million and $38.3 million, respectively. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 3.07% and 2.99%, respectively.

Total interest income decreased $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013, primarily as a result of a decrease of $62.7 million in the average balance of available for sale securities as well as a decrease in the yield on net loans of 24 basis points. These declines were offset by an increase in the average balance of net loans of $48.4 million in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period last year.

Total interest expense decreased $991,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the same period last year. The overall decrease in interest expense was partially attributable to a 15.8% growth in noninterest bearing deposits. Also contributing to the decrease between the two periods was a reduction of three basis points in the cost of certificates of deposit. The average outstanding balance of certificates of deposit in the first nine months of 2014 declined by $70.4 million as compared to the first nine months of 2013. Furthermore, the average balance of non-time deposits decreased $7.9 million and the cost of non-time deposits decreased 4 basis points.

67

The following table shows the impact of interest rate and outstanding balance (volume) changes compared to the first nine months of last year. The interest rate spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, increased to 2.91% compared to 2.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The net interest margin increased eight basis points to 3.07% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 2.99% for the same period in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to income to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management to be adequate, based on management’s evaluation of such factors as the delinquency status of loans, current economic conditions, the net realizable value of the underlying collateral, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio and prior loan loss experience. The Company recognized negative loan loss provision of $1.5 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared to a $3.8 million expense in the first nine months of 2013. During the second quarter of 2014, a commercial real estate loan aggregating $7.7 million paid off, causing a reduction in the loan loss provision $748,000. Furthermore, the provision was reduced by $968,000 due to the realignment of loan loss factors assigned to construction one- to four- family residential loans. The loan loss factors applied to these construction one- to four-family residential loans are being aligned with permanent one to four family residential real estate loans. Also contributing to the change in the provision for loan losses were charge offs of $560,000 previously reserved associated with one commercial lending relationship that was settled in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, a $382,000 specific reserve was established in 2013 on another commercial relationship to adjust the net book value to the anticipated resolution balance.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income in the first nine months of 2014 was $10.8 million, as compared to noninterest income for the first nine months of 2013 of $15.6 million. The decrease in noninterest income was driven by decreases in mortgage banking income, gains on the sale of available for sale securities and other income. The decrease in mortgage banking income was caused by a $92.9 million reduction in mortgage originations sold, which resulted in a $2.3 million decline in mortgage banking income. The change in gains recognized on the sale of available for sale securities was the result of sales made in the first nine months of 2013 that did not reoccur in the first nine months of 2014. The change in other income was the result of lower net rental income received on real estate owned and lower debit card fees earned in the current quarter, compared to the same quarter last year. Also, Home Savings recognized a recovery of $547,000 on interest rate caps in the first nine months of 2013.

68

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $42.0 million in the first nine months of 2014, compared to $41.8 million in the first nine months of 2013; a difference of $261,000. In the first nine months of 2014, other expenses increased primarily because of a $1.4 million prepayment charge incurred on the early termination of repurchase agreements mentioned above.  Salaries and employee benefits were also $1.9 million higher.  Reduced FDIC premiums of $880,000 and franchise/financial institutions tax expenses of $622,000 partially offset the change. Reduced FDIC premiums are the result of the termination of all regulatory orders under which the Bank had been operating. The lower franchise/financial institutions tax is the result of a change in Ohio tax law.

Income Taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company recognized a tax benefit of $39.1 million on pre-tax income of $8.3 million, compared to tax expense of $500,000 on pre-tax income of $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The primary reason for the variance was the reversal of substantially all of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the net DTA was $31.0 million, and as of December 31, 2013, the net DTA (prior to any valuation allowance) was $42.8 million. Management maintained a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 based on consideration of, but not limited to, its cumulative pre-tax losses during the past three years, the composition of recurring and non-recurring income from operations over the past several years and the magnitude of recent taxable income as compared to net operating loss carryforwards.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had reversed $41.7 million of the valuation allowance on its net DTA. $3.0 million of the reversal is due to current year-to-date operating income; the remaining $38.7 million is due to management’s reassessment and judgment regarding the ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years. The realization of a DTA is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the DTA will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as the DTA being more than 50% likely of being realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance against the net DTA is required. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered all available evidence about the realization of the DTA both positive and negative that could be objectively verified.

Positive evidence considered included (1) the Company’s recent history of quarterly pre-tax earnings (ten out of the last eleven quarters with the most recent quarterly loss being recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 due to a bulk sale of troubled assets ), (2) expectations for sustained and continued profitability with sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the remaining net deferred tax benefits (3) significant reductions in the level of non-performing assets since their peak, which was the primary source of the losses generated in prior periods (4) resolution of an executive search focused on a key management position (5) evaluation of core earnings (6) adequacy of capital to fund balance sheet and future growth and (7) cost-saving initiatives realized during the period.

Negative evidence considered was (1) the uncertainty about the potential impact on future earnings from nonperforming assets along with (2) a pre-tax loss reported by the Company during one quarterly period over the previous eleven quarters. As the number of consecutive periods of profitability increased and the level of profits are indicative of on-going results, the weight of cumulative losses as negative evidence decreased. A reduction in the weight given to such losses is further validated given that the source of the losses was due to an elevated level of problem assets and related credit costs, which have since been significantly reduced due to the bulk asset sale in 2012 and as evidenced by the improvements in the Company’s asset quality metrics.

After weighing both the positive and negative evidence, management determined that a valuation allowance on the net DTA was no longer warranted as of June 30, 2014. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s tax calculation, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K.

The Company’s ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to any of these variables.

The Company expects tax expense for the remainder of the year to be offset by the reversal of the remaining valuation allowance, for an effective tax rate of zero, excluding the discrete benefit recorded in the second quarter. The effective tax rate for 2015 is expected to more closely reflect marginal tax rates.

The principal sources of funds for United Community are deposits, loan repayments, maturities of securities, borrowings from financial institutions, repurchase agreements and other funds provided by operations.  Home Savings also has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition.  Investments in liquid assets maintained by United Community and Home Savings are based upon management's assessment of (1) the need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets, and (4) objectives of the asset and liability management program.  At September 30, 2014, approximately $171.4 million of Home Savings’ certificates of deposit were expected to mature within one year.  Based on past experience and Home Savings’ prevailing pricing strategies, management believes that a substantial percentage of such certificates will be renewed with Home Savings at maturity, although there can be no assurance that this will occur.

Home Savings’ Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity guidelines, policies and procedures.  ALCO uses a variety of methods to monitor the liquidity position of Home Savings including a liquidity analysis that measures potential sources and uses of funds over future time periods out to one year.  ALCO also performs contingency funding analyses to determine Home Savings’ ability to meet potential liquidity needs under stress scenarios that cover varying time horizons ranging from immediate to long-term.

At September 30, 2014, United Community had total on-hand liquidity, defined as cash and cash equivalents, unencumbered securities and additional FHLB borrowing capacity, of $699.7 million.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. The principal market risk affecting United Community is interest rate risk. United Community is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest earning assets reprice differently than its interest bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of United Community’s earnings and net asset values to changes in interest rates. As part of its efforts to monitor and manage the interest rate risk, the Board of Directors of Home Savings has adopted an interest rate risk policy that requires the Home Savings Board to review quarterly reports related to interest rate risk and to annually set exposure limits for Home Savings as a guide to management in setting and implementing day to day operating strategies.

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. As part of its interest rate risk analysis, Home Savings uses the net portfolio value (NPV) and net interest income methodology. Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash flows on interest earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows on interest bearing and other liabilities. The application of the methodology attempts to quantify interest rate risk as the change in the NPV and net interest income that would result from various levels of theoretical basis point changes in market interest rates.

Home Savings uses an NPV and earnings simulation model prepared internally as its primary method to identify and manage its interest rate risk profile. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for all financial instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on future volumes and the prepayment rate of applicable financial instruments. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates also are incorporated into the model. These assumptions inherently are uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot measure precisely NPV or net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

Presented below are analyses of Home Savings’ interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV and net interest income for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts of 100 basis point increments in market interest rates. As noted, for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the percentage changes fall within the policy limits set by the Board of Directors of Home Savings as the minimum NPV ratio and the maximum change in interest income the Home Savings Board deems advisable in the event of various changes in interest rates. See the table below for Board adopted policy limits.

Due to a low interest rate environment, it was not meaningful to calculate results for a drop in interest rates.

73

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the above approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of 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. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit may deviate significantly from those assumed in making risk calculations.

Potential Impact of Changes in Interest Rates. Home Savings’ profitability depends to a large extent on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from loans and securities and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Like most financial institutions, Home Savings’ short-term interest income and interest expense are affected significantly by changes in market interest rates and other economic factors beyond its control.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation was carried out by United Community’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of United Community’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)/15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2014. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that United Community’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014, were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that United Community files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including United Community’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, there were no changes in United Community’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect United Community’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

UNITED COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORP.

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

United Community and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation arising in the normal course of business. While it is impossible to determine the ultimate resolution of these contingent matters, management believes any resulting liability would not have a material effect upon United Community’s financial statements.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

Excluding deferred tax assets and liabilities, as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in United Community’s risk factors as outlined in United Community’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013. The risk factors described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results. Moreover, the Company undertakes no obligation and disclaims any intention to publish revised information or updates to forward-looking statements contained in such risk factors or in any other statement made at any time by the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees or other representatives, unless and until any such revisions or updates are expressly required to be disclosed by securities laws or regulations.

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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision (credit) for income taxes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount to be realized.

Income tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of income tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

The Company reversed its DTA valuation allowance as of June 30, 2014 resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $30.2 million at that date. This compares to no deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2013 as it was fully reserved against. There are a number of tax issues that impact the deferred tax asset balancing including changes in temporary differences between the financial statement and tax recognition of revenue and expenses and estimates as to the deductibility of prior losses.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, management determined it was more likely than not that a significant portion of the DTA would be realized. Management’s decision was based upon evidence including its earnings performance trend, expected continued profitability, and improvement in the Company’s financial condition. The Company’s ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to any of these variables.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

Presentation Unrecognized Tax Benefit

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended existing guidance related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. These amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application was permitted. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors

In January 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan.

Specifically, the new ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required detailing the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgages collateralized by real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional disclosures.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

United Community Financial Corp. (United Community or the Company) was incorporated under Ohio law in February 1998 by The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio (Home Savings) in connection with the conversion of Home Savings from an Ohio mutual savings and loan association to an Ohio capital stock savings association (the Conversion). Upon consummation of the Conversion on July 8, 1998, United Community became the unitary thrift holding company for Home Savings. Home Savings, a state-chartered savings bank, conducts business from its main office located in Youngstown, Ohio, 32 full-service branches and nine loan production offices located throughout Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

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

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes contained in United Community’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Banking And Thrift [Abstract]

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

14. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Home Savings is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Home Savings and United Community. The regulations require Home Savings to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines in keeping with the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action that involve quantitative measures of Home Savings’ assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Home Savings’ capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation for capital adequacy require Home Savings to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 (or Core) capital (as defined in the regulations) to average total assets (as defined) and of total risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Actual and regulatory required capital ratios for Home Savings, along with the dollar amount of capital implied by such ratios, are presented below.

CAPITAL RAISE

16. CAPITAL RAISE

On January 11, 2013, United Community entered into securities purchase agreements with 28 accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors agreed to invest an aggregate of approximately $39.9 million in United Community for 6,574,272 newly issued common shares of United Community at a purchase price of $2.75 per share, and 7,942 newly created and issued perpetual mandatorily convertible non-cumulative preferred shares of United Community at a purchase price of $2,750 per share. On March 22, 2013, United Community received $39.9 million from the completion of this portion of the private placement of the capital raise. Upon receipt of United Community shareholder approval, each of the preferred shares automatically converted into 1,000 United Community common shares. Shareholder approval was obtained at a special meeting of shareholders held on May 28, 2013. The preferred shares did not pay any preferred dividends.

Also on January 11, 2013, United Community entered into subscription agreements with certain of United Community’s directors, officers and their affiliates pursuant to which these insider investors agreed to invest an aggregate of approximately $2.1 million in United Community for 755,820 newly issued common shares, at the same purchase price of $2.75 per share. The issuance and sale of common shares to the insider investors, pursuant to the subscription agreements, was subject to United Community shareholder approval, which was obtained on May 28, 2013.

On April 26, 2013, United Community issued a prospectus for the purpose of offering existing shareholders the right to purchase up to $5.0 million of United Community common shares at $2.75 per share. The rights offering closed on May 28, 2013 and United Community issued 1,818,181 shares to existing shareholders that elected to participate.

Legal, investment banking and other consulting expenses incurred by United Community to complete the capital raise were approximately $4.6 million in the aggregate. The increase in equity from the capital raise was reduced by these expenses.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset if paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

United Community uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Available for sale securities: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2).

Impaired loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are individually evaluated at least annually for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by Home Savings. Once received, a member of the Special Assets Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with the independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. In addition to the Special Assets Department review, a third party independent review is also performed.  On an annual basis, Home Savings compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. At the time a property is acquired and classified as real estate owned, the fair value is determined utilizing the most appropriate method. A fair value in excess of $250,000 will be supported by an appraisal. After determination of fair value, each property will be recorded at the lower of cost (i.e., recorded investment in the loan) or the estimated net realizable value on the date of transfer to real estate owned. In determining net realizable value, reductions to fair market value may be taken for estimated costs of sale, conditions that must be remedied immediately upon acquisition, and other factors that negatively impact the marketability and prompt sale of the property.

Mortgage servicing rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that tranche so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Fair value is determined at a tranche level, based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (Level 2).

Loans held for sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

Interest rate caps: Home Savings uses an independent third party that performs a market valuation analysis for interest rate caps. The methodology used consists of a discounted cash flow model, all future floating cash flows are projected and both floating and fixed cash flows are discounted to the valuation date. The yield curve utilized for discounting and projecting is built by obtaining publicly available third party market quotes from Reuters, which handle up to 30-year swap maturities (Level 3). Assumptions used in the valuation of interest rate caps are back-tested for reasonableness on a quarterly basis using an independent source along with a third party service.

Purchased and written certificate of deposit option: Home Savings periodically enters into written and purchased option derivative instruments to facilitate the Power CD. The written and purchased options are mirror derivative instruments which are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Home Savings uses an independent third party that performs a market valuation analysis for purchased and written certificate of deposit options. (Level 2)

Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses, carried at fair value, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net carrying amount of $4.9 million at September 30, 2014, that includes a specific valuation allowance of $450,000. This resulted in a increase of the provision for loan losses of $21,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $460,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses, carried at fair value, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net carrying amount of $2.2 million at September 30, 2013, which includes a specific valuation allowance of $808,000. This resulted in an increase in the provision for loan losses of $307,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses, carried at fair value, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a net carrying amount of $4.1 million at December 31, 2013, that includes a specific valuation allowance of $792,000.

The significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral dependent impaired loans included in the above table primarily relate to the adjustment between carrying values versus appraised value. During the reported periods, discounts applied to appraisals for estimated selling costs were 10%.

At September 30, 2014, mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value were $228,000, resulting in a net valuation allowance of $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2013, mortgage servicing rights, carried at fair value, totaled $387,000, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $391,000, net of a valuation allowance of $4,000. At December 31, 2013, mortgage servicing rights carried at fair value of $0, resulting in a net recovery of $680,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Mortgage servicing rights are valued by an independent third party that is active in purchasing and selling these instruments. The value reflects the characteristics of the underlying loans discounted at a market multiple.

At September 30, 2014, other real estate owned, carried at fair value, which is measured for impairment using the fair value of the property less estimated selling costs and had a gross carrying amount of $6.3 million, with a valuation allowance of $3.5 million. This resulted in additional expenses of $140,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and additional expenses of $578,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2013, other real estate owned, carried at fair value, which is measured for impairment using the fair value of the property less estimated selling costs, and had a net carrying amount of $6.4 million with a valuation allowance of $6.7 million. This resulted in additional expenses of $464,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and additional expenses of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2013, other real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $4.2 million, with a valuation allowance of $4.1 million.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

(b) FHLB Stock

It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

(c) Loans

Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification; fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification; and impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(d) Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed and variable rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(e) Short-term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within 90 days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(f) Other Borrowings

The fair values of Home Savings long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

(g) Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification, depending on the classification of the underlying asset or liability.

(h) Off-balance Sheet Instruments

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

STOCK COMPENSATION

4. STOCK COMPENSATION

Stock Options:

On April 26, 2007, shareholders approved the United Community Financial Corp. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the 2007 Plan). The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to promote and advance the interests of United Community and its shareholders by enabling United Community to attract, retain and reward directors, directors emeritus, managerial and other key employees of United Community, including Home Savings, by facilitating their purchase of an ownership interest in United Community. The 2007 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares that are to be used for awards of restricted stock, stock options, performance awards, stock appreciation rights (SARs), or other forms of stock-based incentive awards. There were 5,443 stock options granted in 2014 and there were 12,317 stock options granted in 2013 under the 2007 Plan. The options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant.

On July 12, 1999, shareholders approved the United Community Financial Corp. 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the 1999 Plan). The purpose of the 1999 Plan was the same as the 2007 Plan. The 1999 Plan terminated on May 20, 2009, although the 1999 Plan survives so long as options issued under the 1999 Plan remain outstanding and exercisable.

The 1999 Plan provided for the grant of either incentive or nonqualified stock options. Options were awarded at exercise prices that were not less than the fair market value of the share at the grant date. The maximum number of common shares that could be issued under the 1999 Plan was 3,569,766. Because the 1999 Plan terminated, no additional options may be issued under it. All of the options awarded became exercisable on the date of grant except that options granted in 2009 became exercisable over three years beginning on December 31, 2009. All options expire 10 years from the date of grant.

Expenses related to stock option grants are included with salaries and employee benefits. The Company recognized $6,197 in stock option expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized $18,748 in stock option expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized $5,344 in stock option expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recognized $14,814 in stock option expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company expects to recognize additional expense of $5,729 for the remainder of 2014, $17,661 in 2015 and $1,406 in 2016.

A summary of activity in the plans is as follows:

	For the nine months ended September 30, 2014
	Shares		Weighted average exercise price		Aggregate intrinsic value (in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of year		948,690	$	5.44

Forfeited and expired		(290,909)		12.24
Outstanding at end of period		578,224		2.51	$	1,341
Options exercisable at end of period		557,358		2.47	$	1,321

Information related to the stock option plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 follows:

	September 30, 2014
Intrinsic value of options exercised	$	147,410
Cash received from option exercises		173,000
Tax benefit realized from option exercises		10,267
Weighted average fair value of options granted, per share	$	2.07

As of September 30, 2014, the cost of nonvested stockoptions is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

The fair value of options granted during the third quarter of 2014 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date:

	July 3, 2014
Risk-free interest rate		1.74	%
Expected term (years)		5
Expected stock volatility		55.96	%
Dividend yield		—	%

Outstanding stock options have a weighted average remaining life of 5.22 years and may be exercised in the range of $1.20 to $5.89.

Restricted Stock Awards:

The 2007 Plan permits the issuance of restricted stock awards to employees and nonemployee directors. Nonvested shares at September 30, 2014 aggregated 333,588, of which 113,801 will vest during 2014, 93,958 will vest in 2015, 60,615 will vest in 2016 and 65,214 will vest in 2017. Expenses related to restricted stock awards are charged to salaries and employee benefits and are recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the market value of the shares at the grant date. The Company recognized approximately $120,000 in restricted stock award expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized approximately $356,000 in restricted stock award expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recognized approximately $68,000 in restricted stock award expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and approximately $260,000 in restricted stock award expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company expects to recognize additional expenses of approximately $117,000 in 2014, $379,000 in 2015, $299,000 in 2016 and $86,000 in 2017.

A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested restricted shares for the first nine months of 2014 is as follows:

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended existing guidance related to the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. These amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application was permitted. The effect of adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In January 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan.

Specifically, the new ASU requires a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Additional disclosures are required detailing the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgages collateralized by real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional disclosures.

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Deferred tax liabilities		7,711			10,089
Net deferred tax asset	$	31,029		$	—

As of September 30, 2014, the net deferred tax asset (DTA) was $31.0 million, and as of December 31, 2013, the net DTA (prior to any valuation allowance) was $42.8 million. Management recorded a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 based on consideration of, but not limited to, its cumulative pre-tax losses during the past three years, the composition of recurring and non-recurring income from operations over the past several years and the magnitude of recent taxable income as compared to net operating loss carryforwards.

The remaining $1.1 million of valuation allowance is expected to reverse due to operating income projected for the remainder of 2014. The realization of a DTA is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the DTA will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as the DTA being more than 50% likely of being realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance against the net DTA is required. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered all available evidence about the realization of the DTA both positive and negative, that could be objectively verified.

Positive evidence considered included (1) the Company’s recent history of quarterly pre-tax earnings (with the most recent quarterly loss being recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2012), (2) expectations for sustained and continued profitability with sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the remaining net deferred tax benefits (3) significant reductions in the level of non-performing assets since their peak, which was the primary source of the losses generated in prior periods (4) resolution to an executive search placed on a key management position (5) evaluation of core earnings (6) adequacy of capital to fund balance sheet and future growth and (7) cost-saving initiatives triggered during 2014.

Negative evidence considered was (1) the uncertainty about the potential impact on future earnings from nonperforming assets along with (2) former pre-tax losses reported by the Company. As the number of consecutive periods of profitability increased and the level of profits are indicative of on-going results, the weight of cumulative losses as negative evidence decreased. A reduction in the weight given to such losses is further validated given that the source of the losses was due to an elevated level of problem assets and related credit costs, which have since been significantly reduced due to the bulk asset sale in 2012 and as evidenced by the improvements in the Company’s asset quality metrics.

After weighing both the positive and negative evidence, management determined that a valuation allowance on the net DTA was no longer warranted as of June 30, 2014. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s tax calculation, see Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, included in Item 8 of the Company’s Form 10-K.

Net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2030.

The Company’s ultimate realization of the DTA is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the nature and amount of historical and projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and available tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The amount of deferred taxes recognized could be impacted by changes to any of these variables.

All of the U.S. Treasury and government sponsored entities (GSE) and mortgage-backed securities that were temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were impaired due to the level of interest rates at that time. Unrealized losses on U.S. Treasury and government sponsored entities and mortgage-backed securities have not been recognized into income as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 because the issuer’s securities are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. From April 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013, the 10-year treasury yield rose from 1.70% to 3.04% which caused the securities portfolio to lose value. Since December 31, 2013, the 10-year treasury yield has fallen to 2.52% resulting in an increase in the value of the portfolio. The duration of the securities portfolio was approximately 6.3 years at September 30, 2014. There is risk that longer term rates could rise further resulting in greater unrealized losses. The Company can look for opportunities to sell securities to reduce the portfolio or change the duration characteristics. All of the securities are GSE issued debt or mortgage-backed securities and carry the same rating as the U.S. Government. The Company expects to realize all interest and principal on these securities and has no intent ot sell and more than lilely will not be required to sell these securities until maturity.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company expects to realize all interest and principal on these securities.

Proceeds from sales of equity securities available for sale were $470,000 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross gains of $328,000 and $0 were realized on these sales during the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Proceeds from sales of equity and other securities available for sale were $5.5 million and $97.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gross gains of $362,000 and $2.6 million were realized on these sales during the first nine months of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments extend over various periods of time with the majority of such commitments disbursed within a sixty-day period, but can be extended up to 36 months. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, may require payment of a fee and may expire unused. Commitments to extend credit at fixed rates expose Home Savings to some degree of interest rate risk. Home Savings evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The type or amount of collateral obtained varies and is based on management’s credit evaluation of the potential borrower. Home Savings normally has a number of outstanding commitments to extend credit.

The following tables present the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans by portfolio segment and are based on impairment method as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

A troubled debt restructuring is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

The troubled debt restructurings described above that subsequently defaulted resulted in no charge-offs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, and had no effect on the provision for loan losses.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes homogeneous loans past due 90 cumulative days, and all non-homogeneous loans including commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are primarily monitored by payment status.

Asset quality ratings are divided into two groups: Pass (unclassified) and Classified. Within the unclassified group, certain loans that display potential weakness are risk rated as special mention. In addition, there are three classified risk ratings: substandard, doubtful and loss. These specific credit risk categories are defined as follows:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value, that continuance as assets is not warranted. Although there may be a chance of recovery on these assets, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset.

The Company monitors loans on a monthly basis to determine if they should be included in one of the categories listed above. All impaired non-homogeneous credits classified as Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are analyzed on an individual basis for a specific reserve requirement. This analysis is performed on each individual credit at least annually or more frequently if warranted.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Equity [Abstract]

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

13. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Other comprehensive income (loss) included in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity consists of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and reflects no change in unrealized gains and losses on postretirement liability. The change includes $328,000 reclassification of gains on sales of securities and no impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and no gains on sales of securities and no impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The change includes $362,000 reclassification of gains on sales of securities and no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and gains on sales of securities of $2.6 million and no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Other comprehensive income (loss) components and related tax effects for the three and nine month periods are as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,						Nine months ended September 30,

The following is a summary of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balances, net of tax:

Unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale	$	(43,364	)	$	15,355	$	(28,009	)

As of June 30, 2014, management concluded it was more likely than not that the Company’s net deferred tax asset (DTA) would be realized and accordingly determined a full deferred tax valuation allowance was no longer required. Upon reversal of the former full deferred tax valuation allowance as of September 30, 2014, certain disproportionate tax effects are retained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) totaling approximately a ($16.6) million loss. Almost the entire disproportionate tax effect is attributable to valuation allowance expense recorded through other comprehensive income (loss) on the tax benefit of losses sustained on the available for sale securities portfolio while the Company was in a full deferred tax valuation allowance. This valuation allowance was appropriately reversed through continuing operations at June 30, 2014, leaving the original expense in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), where it will remain in accordance with the Company’s election of the “portfolio approach”, until such time as the Company would cease to have an available for sale security portfolio.

The following is a summary of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that was reclassified into net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, net of tax:

REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT ACTION

2. REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT ACTION

United Community is a unitary thrift holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). On August 8, 2008, the board of directors of United Community approved a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the predecessor regulator of United Community (the Holding Company Order). The Holding Company Order required United Community to obtain FRB approval prior to: (i) incurring or increasing its debt position; (ii) repurchasing any United Community stock; or (iii) paying any dividends. The Holding Company Order also required United Community to develop a debt reduction plan and submit the plan to the OTS for approval. The Holding Company Order, as subsequently amended was terminated on July 2, 2013. On July 9, 2013, United Community entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the Holding Company MOU) with the FRB, under which United Community agreed not to pay dividends, repurchase shares, or take on debt without the FRB’s prior approval.

The Holding Company MOU was terminated on January 8, 2014.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has granted stock compensation awards with nonforfeitable dividend rights which are considered participating securities. As such, earnings per share is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC 206-10-45. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes the participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but also excludes awards considered participating securities. Stock options for 75,008 shares were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and stock options for 685,272 shares were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Stock options for 78,220 shares were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and stock options for 681,962 shares were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As previously announced and described under Note 16 below, United Community sold 7,942 preferred shares to various investors. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, United Community recorded a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) related to the issuance of these preferred shares because they contain a conversion feature at a fixed rate that was in-the-money when issued. A BCF is “in-the-money” when the investor is deemed to be able to obtain the underlying common shares at a below-market price upon conversion of the preferred shares. The BCF was recognized in United Community’s Shareholders’ Equity and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The effective purchase price of the common shares into which the preferred shares were convertible was deemed to be $2.75, which was used to compute the intrinsic value. The intrinsic value was calculated as the difference between the deemed purchase price of the common shares ($2.75 per share) and the market value ($3.60 per share) on the date the preferred shares were issued (March 22, 2013), multiplied by the number of shares into which the preferred shares were convertible.

The BCF resulting from the issuance of the preferred shares of United Community is calculated as follows:

Total common shares that may be issued upon conversion of preferred shares		7,942,000
Intrinsic value (difference between consideration allocated to preferred stock upon conversion at $2.75 per share and market price of $3.60 per share on March 22, 2013)	$	0.85
Beneficial conversion feature	$	6,750,700

The BCF has no effect on net income. The BCF calculated above is deemed to be an implied dividend for purposes of determining earnings per common share in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is amortized over the period the preferred shares were outstanding. The preferred shares converted to common shares upon shareholder approval which was obtained in the second quarter of 2013. This amortization resulted in a reduction to retained earnings and thus net income available to common shareholders for earnings per common share purposes. Therefore, United Community took into account the BCF discount when computing earnings per common share in 2013.
