Item 5.       Other Events

        On July 24, 2001,  Montgomery  Financial  Corporation (the "Registrant")
and  Union  Community  Bancorp  ("UCB")  jointly  announced  the  signing  of  a
definitive  agreement (the  "Agreement")  pursuant to which  Registrant  will be
merged with and into UCB (the "Merger"),  and Registrant's  savings  association
subsidiary  will be merged with and into UCB's savings  association  subsidiary.
The  Agreement  provides  that  upon  the  effective  date  of the  Merger  (the
"Effective  Time"),  each  shareholder of Registrant  will receive either 1.1244
shares of UCB's common stock,  without par value ("UCB Common Stock"), or $15.00
in cash for each  share of  Registrant  common  stock,  $.01 par value per share
("Registrant Common Stock"), owned by such shareholder; provided that the number
of shares of UCB Common  Stock  issued in the Merger  must equal .5622 times the
number of shares of Registrant Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time of the Merger. There may be pro rata allocations of cash or stock
made to Registrant's  shareholders to ensure that this requirement is satisfied.
Based on the closing  price of UCB Common Stock on July 23, 2001  ($13.50),  the
transaction has an aggregate value of approximately  $18.5 million (assuming all
outstanding stock options of Registrant are valued at the difference between the
merger consideration and the exercise price of the options).

        The Merger will be accounted  for as a purchase and is expected to close
in the fourth  quarter of 2001. The Agreement has been approved by the boards of
directors  of  Registrant  and UCB.  However,  it is subject  to  certain  other
conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of both companies and the
approval of regulatory authorities.

        Pursuant to General Instruction F to Form 8-K, the Agreement  concerning
the Merger is incorporated herein by reference and is attached hereto as Exhibit
2.
