Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On January 2,  2002,  the  Registrant  completed  the merger of  Montgomery
Financial  Corporation  ("MFC") with and into  Registrant (the "Merger") and the
merger of Montgomery  Savings, A Federal Association with and into Union Federal
Savings  and  Loan  Association  ("Union  Federal").   Information  as  to  this
transaction  was  previously  reported in the joint  proxy  statement/prospectus
contained  in  Registrant's  Registration  Statement  on Form S-4,  Registration
Number   333-71302,   which   is   incorporated   herein   by   reference   (the
"Proxy/Prospectus").  For a  discussion  of  the  terms  and  conditions  of the
transaction, reference is made to the Proxy/Prospectus.

     Upon  consummation of the Merger,  each outstanding  share of common stock,
$.01 par value per share, of MFC was converted into the right to receive, at the
election of the  applicable  shareholder,  either 1.1244 shares of  Registrant's
common stock,  without par value ("Registrant Common Stock"), or $15.00 in cash;
provided that an aggregate of approximately  678,967 shares of Registrant Common
Stock  were  issued  in the  Merger.  As a  result  of the  various  shareholder
elections made, all  shareholders who elected only cash and all shareholders who
failed to make an election by the December 21, 2001 deadline will receive $15.00
for each MFC share they own. Because more  shareholders  elected stock than were
permitted  in the  Merger,  stock  elections  were paid in shares of  Registrant
common stock to the extent of 83.67%,  with the balance paid in cash at the rate
of $15.00 per share of MFC common stock.

     In the aggregate,  Registrant  issued  678,897 shares of Registrant  common
stock in the  merger  and paid cash in the  aggregate  of  $9,058,680.  The cash
consideration  was  derived  from  Federal  Home Loan Bank  borrowings  by Union
Federal that were paid to Registrant in the form of dividend distributions.

     The Merger will be accounted for under the purchase  method of  accounting.
The exchange is intended to be tax-free to the MFC  shareholders,  except to the
extent any MFC  shareholder  receives  cash instead of  Registrant  Common Stock
(including  cash  received in lieu of  fractional  shares or  Registrant  Common
Stock) and the cash exceeds the MFC  shareholder's  adjusted basis. Cash will be
paid for fractional shares in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional
interest by $13.34.

     In addition,  options for 31,618 shares of MFC common stock were  purchased
at the closing of the Merger by Registrant for an aggregate of $220,377 in cash.

     Pursuant to General  Instruction  F to Form 8-K, the press  release  issued
January 2, 2002, concerning the closing of the merger between the Registrant and
MFC is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

     When used in this Current  Report on Form 8-K and in future  filings by the
Registrant  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  Registrant's  press
releases or other public or shareholder  communications,  and in oral statements
made with the approval of an authorized  executive officer, the words or phrases
"pro forma,"  "will likely  result," "are  expected  to," "will  continue,"  "is
anticipated,"  "estimate,"  "project"  or similar  expressions  are  intended to
identify  "forward-looking   statements"  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain
risks and  uncertainties,  including,  among other things,  the possibility that
expected cost savings from the  acquisition  of MFC cannot be fully  realized or
realized within the expected time frame, the possibility that revenues following
the  acquisition  of  MFC  may be  lower  than  expected,  changes  in  economic
conditions in the  Registrant's  market area,  changes in policies by regulatory
agencies,  fluctuations  in  interest  rates,  demand for loans in  Registrant's
market  area  and  competition,  that  could  cause  actual  results  do  differ
materially from historical results and those presently anticipated or projected.
The Registrant wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Registrant
wishes  to advise  readers  that the  factors  listed  above  could  affect  the
Registrant's  financial  performance  and could  cause the  Registrant's  actual
results for future periods to differ  materially from any opinions or statements
expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

     The Registrant does not undertake and specifically  declines any obligation
to  publicly  release  the  result  of any  revisions  which  may be made to any
forward-looking  statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such  statements or to reflect the occurrence of  anticipated  or  unanticipated
events.
