CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are or
may constitute forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Such forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about
Unified Financial Services' industries, management's beliefs and assumptions
made by management.For example, a downturn in economic conditions generally and
in particular those affecting bond and securities markets could lead to an exit
of investors from mutual funds. Similarly, an increase in Federal and state
regulations of the mutual fund or securities industries or the imposition of
regulatory penalties could have an effect on our operating results. Investments
may decline in value in a rising interest rate environment. Although we believe
our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate, it may prove inadequate if one
or more large clients, or numerous smaller clients, or a combination of both,
experience financial difficulty for individual, national or international
reasons. Because the financial services industry is highly regulated, decisions
of governmental authorities can have a major effect on operating results. These
uncertainties, as well as others, are present in the financial services industry
and we caution stockholders that management's view of the future on which we
price and distribute our products and estimate costs of operations and
regulations may prove to be other than as anticipated. In addition, our current
expectations with respect to our three business lines, our ability to enhance
stockholder value and aggressively and profitably grow assets under management,
under service and under administration, our ability to provide a high level of
service satisfaction and manage costs, our ability to expand profit margins, our
ability to achieve future growth and the development of VSX Holdings as an
alternative trading system may prove to be other than expected. Words such as
"anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates,"
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that
are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results and outcomes may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth herein under
"Risk Factors." Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. The data presented in the following pages should be
read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto on pages 30 to 49 of this report.

GENERAL

        Unified Financial Services, Inc., a Delaware holding company that was
organized on December 7, 1989, is an integrated provider of financial products
and services. We focus on three principal businesses:

o             The provision of complete back-office and shareholder services for
              the assets of third-party mutual fund families, as well as our
              affiliated series funds, including mutual fund distribution
              services;

o             Management and administration of 401(k) and other ERISA-directed
              assets; and

o             Management of wealth for individuals through portfolio
              management and a suite of family- office services.

        Our fundamental objective is to enhance stockholder value by profitably
growing assets under management, service and administration. A registered
investment adviser tells customers what securities to purchase. The trust
company maintains the activity of the various 401k and ERISA plans. We believe


                                       -2-
<PAGE>

that our ability to provide a high level of service satisfaction, with an
emphasis on managing costs, combined with a dedication to maintaining a highly
trained and motivated workforce should help us to our goal of expanding profit
margins.

         Our mutual fund administration services affiliate, Unified Fund
Services, Inc., is an SEC-registered stock transfer agent that provides transfer
agency, fund accounting, administrative and/or compliance services for mutual
fund families. Unified Fund Services is based in Indianapolis, Indiana.

         Our trust and retirement services affiliate, Unified Trust Company,
National Association, a limited purpose national banking association, was
organized in 2000 upon the conversion of First Lexington Trust Company to a
national banking association. Unified Trust Company, National Association is
based in Lexington, Kentucky and provides complete retirement plan solutions and
trust services to its clients, focusing primarily on providing trust and
administrative services for, and acting as trustee of, 401(k) plans. Unified
Trust Company also provides wealth management and investment services to
individuals as well as investment services to trusts and business entities.

         Our investment advisory affiliate, Fiduciary Counsel, Inc., a company
that dates back to 1931, provides professional investment management to
individuals and institutions from its offices in New York City.

         Our brokerage affiliate, Unified Financial Securities, Inc., serves as
the distributor for various mutual fund families serviced by Unified Fund
Services. Unified Financial Securities is located in Indianapolis, Indiana.

         In early spring 2001, our board of directors made the decision to sell
our insurance operations, which operations were determined to be incompatible
with our core business - managing and servicing assets. Our board further
believed that such sale would allow management to focus further on our primary
businesses and provide capital to expand our core business lines. In December
2001, we sold and assigned substantially all of the assets and liabilities of
our insurance subsidiaries to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Cash proceeds from the
sale were used to retire approximately $1.6 million of outstanding indebtedness
and are used to expand our other core business lines.

         In keeping with the narrowed business focus, in November 2003 we sold
all of the capital stock of Unified Banking Company to Blue River Bancshares,
Inc., for $8.2 million. In addition, in December 2003 we completed the sale of
our small retail brokerage business to Westminster Financial Securities, Inc.
for $40,000 cash. Our broker/dealer subsidiary, Unified Financial Securities,
Inc., will now concentrate exclusively on providing active and passive
distribution services to our mutual fund clients. This increased emphasis on
distribution services strengthens our complete product/service solution to the
third party mutual fund servicing industry in which we compete.

         During 2003, total revenues at our trust and retirement operations for
our company grew, fueled by new clients significantly outpacing lost business in
our 401(k) ERISA-directed assets line of business. Assets under service at our
Unified Fund Services increased by 19.9%. Despite the increase, revenue
decreased principally due to Unified Financial Securities exiting the clearing,
retail and discount brokerage business. Assets under management at our
investment advisory affiliate (Fiduciary Counsel, Inc.) decreased 11.2% during
2003 from the prior year.

             Unified Trust Company introduced two new products and services. The
Unified Retirement Counselor will help determine how much money to save, choose
an asset allocation, and recommend a combination of funds available in a
person's retirement plan that matches the person's chosen asset allocation. The
Unified Fiduciary Monitoring Index is a useful and value added fund management
technique. It is a mathematical formula for analyzing future mutual fund
performance.

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

         During 2003, our mutual fund administration operation focused on
improving quality of services and compliance through significantly expanding
internal controls, training employees, hiring experienced employees, and
industry participation. New systems have been implemented to improve operational
efficiency and reduce errors.

         Financial information with respect to our business lines for each of
the last three years is contained in Note 14 of our consolidated financial
statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Our principal executive offices are located at 2353 Alexandria Drive,
Lexington, Kentucky 40504, telephone number (859) 514-6174. Our subsidiaries
maintain offices at 431 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana,
telephone number (317) 917-7001; 2353 Alexandria Drive, Lexington, Kentucky
40504, telephone number (859) 296-4407; and 36 West 44th Street, The Bar
Association Building, Suite 1310, New York, New York 10036, telephone number
(212) 852-8852.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

         We believe that we have developed and utilize valuable technology and
innovations that are trade secrets and in which we have a proprietary interest.
We seek to protect our proprietary information by, among other things, requiring
employees to execute confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. We also have
applied for certain trademarks and patents.

OUR AFFILIATED MUTUAL FUNDS

         As of December 31, 2003, our affiliated mutual funds, the AmeriPrime
Advisers Trust, the AmeriPrime Funds and the Unified Series Trust, maintained
approximately $329 million, $146 million and $169 million, respectively, in
total net assets. Each of the AmeriPrime Advisers Trust, AmeriPrime Funds and
the Unified Series Trust is administered by Unified Fund Services and
distributed by Unified Financial Securities. The board of trustees of each of
the AmeriPrime Advisers Trust, AmeriPrime Funds and the Unified Series Trust
consists of three disinterested trustees and two interested trustees, Timothy L.
Ashburn and Ronald C. Tritschler, stockholders of our company.

VSX HOLDINGS, LLC

         On May 23, 2000, we subscribed for ten shares of VSX Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, in exchange for $10 and certain intangible
property rights. We currently own approximately 0.5% of the outstanding shares
of VSX Holdings, but have the right to purchase up to an additional 1,990 shares
at a price of $1 per share, representing approximately 19.9% of VSX, upon the
occurrence of certain specified events. VSX Holdings is involved in the
development of an alternative trading system to be known as VSX.com, which, upon
and subject to organization and regulatory approval, is intended to serve as a
virtual, real-time private financial market place. In connection with the
organization of VSX Holdings, a third-party investor made a $3.0 million loan to
VSX Holdings, which loan is evidenced by a promissory note issued by VSX
Holdings to such investor. The note initially was secured by 85,000 shares of
our common stock pledged by certain executive officers of our company. During
January 2004, we purchased 35,500 of such shares, which remain pledged as
collateral. In addition, concurrent with the issuance of such note, we issued an
option to the third-party investor to acquire shares of our common stock, which
option has a five-year term. The investor may elect to foreclose on the pledged
collateral or exercise the option. Pursuant to such option, the holder of the
option and the note is entitled to surrender the note to us in payment of the
exercise price of the option. During the years ending May 23, 2004 and 2005, the
exercise price per share of our common stock subject to the option will be $60
and $65. Should the investor foreclose on the pledged collateral, the executive
officers would succeed to the option and/or the claim against VSX Holdings.
Should the option be exercised prior to May 23, 2003 by the holder of the note


                                       -4-
<PAGE>

(whether the investor, the executive officers or any other holder): (a) we would
issue 50,000 shares of stock (46,153 after May 23, 2004) to the investor, the
executive officers or any other holder, as the case may be, and (b) we would
succeed to the $3.0 million claim against VSX Holdings.

         Our investment in VSX Holdings is accounted for on the cost method of
accounting. In April 2001, we entered into a Management and Construction
Agreement with VSX Holdings whereby we agreed to provide consulting and
development services to VSX Holdings. Such contract also memorialized the
payments received by us during 2000 for services delivered to VSX Holdings. For
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, we received payments totaling
$71,006, $258,758 and $419,977, respectively, from VSX Holdings for such
consulting and development services, which amounts are recorded as a reduction
of "Other operating expenses" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

REGULATION OF HOLDING COMPANY ACTIVITIES

         USA PATRIOD ACT OF 2001. In October 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001
was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and
Washington D.C. which occurred on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act is
intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement's and the intelligence communities'
abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The
potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is
significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money
laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations,
including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and
rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law
enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or
money laundering.

         FINANCIAL SERVICES MODERNIZATION LEGISLATION. In November 1999, the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, or the GLB, was enacted. The GLB repeals
provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act which restricted the affiliation of Federal
Reserve member banks with firms "engaged principally" in specified securities
activities, and which restricted officer, director or employee interlocks
between a member bank and any company or person "primarily engaged" in specified
securities activities.

         In addition, GLB also contains provisions that expressly preempt any
state law restricting the establishment of financial affiliations, primarily
related to insurance. The general effect of the law is to establish a
comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance
companies, securities firms and other financial service providers by revising
and expanding the Bank Holding Company Act framework to permit a holding company
to engage in a full range of financial activities through a new entity known as
a "financial holding company." "Financial activities" is broadly defined to
include not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but also merchant
banking and additional activities that the Federal Reserve Board, in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines to be financial in
nature, incidental to such financial activities or complementary activities that
do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository
institutions or the financial system generally.

         The GLB also permits national banks to engage in expanded activities
through the formation of financial subsidiaries. A national bank may have a
subsidiary engaged in any activity authorized for national banks directly or any
financial activity, except for insurance underwriting, insurance investments,
real estate or development, or merchant banking, which may only be conducted
through a subsidiary of a financial holding company. Financial activities
include all activities permitted under new sections of the Bank Holding Company
Act or permitted by regulation.


                                       -5-
<PAGE>




         To the extent that GLB permits banks, securities firms and insurance
companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further
consolidation. The GLB is intended to grant to community banks certain powers as
a matter of right that larger institutions have accumulated on an ad hoc basis
and which unitary savings and loan holding companies already possess.
Nevertheless, the GLB may have the result of increasing the amount of
competition that we face from larger institutions and other types of companies
offering financial products, many of which may have substantially more financial
resources than we have.

TRUST COMPANY REGULATIONS

         Unified Trust Company, National Association, a limited purpose national
trust company, is chartered, regulated and examined by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency. Unified Trust Company, NA also is a member of the
Federal Reserve System. As a national trust company, the activities of Unified
Trust Company, NA must comply with various statutory and regulatory
requirements, including, among other things, the maintenance of adequate capital
and the exercise of fiduciary powers. Currently, Unified Trust Company, NA is
required to maintain a minimum of $2.0 million in capital, and may be required
to maintain additional minimum capital as assets under management at the trust
company increase.

REGULATION OF OUR SECURITIES AND PREMIUM FINANCE BUSINESSES

         Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the advisory,
subadvisory shareholder servicing and distribution agreements between our
subsidiaries and various mutual funds are subject to annual review by each
fund's board of trustees and the agreements must be approved annually to remain
in effect. There are no assurances that the funds' boards of trustees will renew
each agreement with these funds. The non-renewal of those agreements by a fund's
board of trustees could have a material adverse effect on our business. We have
no reason to believe that such approvals will not be granted and that the
various mutual fund agreements will not be renewed.

         The securities industry, including broker-dealer, investment advisory
and transfer agency firms in the United States, are subject to extensive
regulation under Federal and state laws. Much of the regulation of
broker-dealers has been delegated to self-regulatory organizations, principally
the NASD, Inc., or NASD. The regulations to which broker-dealers are subject
cover all aspects of the securities business, including sales methods, trade
practices, capital structure of securities firms, recordkeeping and the conduct
of directors, officers and employees. Additional state and Federal legislation,
changes in rules promulgated by the SEC and by self-regulatory organizations, or
changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules often
directly affect the methods of operation and profitability of money managers,
broker-dealers and transfer agents. Subject to certain preemptive Federal law,
investment-related firms also are subject to regulation and licensing by state
securities commissions in the states in which they transact business. The SEC,
state securities administrators and the self-regulatory organizations may
conduct administrative proceedings that can result in censure, fine, suspension
or expulsion of an investment adviser or broker-dealer, its officers or
employees. The principal purpose of regulation and discipline of broker-dealers,
investment advisers and transfer agents is the protection of customers and the
securities markets rather than protection of creditors and shareholders of such
firms. We also are subject to extensive regulation as to our duties,
affiliations, conduct and limitations on fees.

         Our subsidiary, Commonwealth Premium Finance Corporation, must be
licensed as a premium finance company in the states of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Illinois and Ohio. Although Commonwealth Premium Finance Corporation also
conducts business in the states of West Virginia and Indiana, such states
presently do not require premium finance licensure. Applicable regulations in
all states in which Commonwealth Premium Finance Corporation conducts business
require the approval of service charges, forms and applications used by
Commonwealth Premium Finance Corporation in its business and also require
compliance with certain recordkeeping and record inspection requirements.

                                       -6-
<PAGE>

INDUSTRY REGULATIONS

         Our broker-dealer subsidiary, Unified Financial Securities, Inc., is an
NASD member. The NASD is a self-regulatory organization that has prescribed
rules with respect to maximum commissions, charges and fees related to sales of
shares in any open-end investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act.

         Fiduciary Counsel, Inc. is an investment adviser registered with the
SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Under the Investment
Advisers Act, it is unlawful for any investment adviser to: (1) employ any
device, scheme or artifice to defraud any client or prospective client; (2)
engage in any transaction, practice or course of business that operates as a
fraud or deceit upon any client or prospective client; or (3) engage in any act,
practice or course of business that is fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative.

         Mutual fund directors and investment advisers to mutual funds are
deemed to be "fiduciaries" of the fund. The SEC is authorized to initiate an
action to enjoin a breach of fiduciary duties involving personal misconduct by
any officer, director, investment adviser or principal underwriter of a fund.
Shareholders or the SEC also may bring an action against the officers,
directors, investment adviser or principal underwriters for breach of fiduciary
duty in establishing the compensation paid to the investment adviser or
underwriter. An investment adviser or underwriter to a fund, its principals and
its employees, also may be subject to proceedings initiated by the SEC to impose
remedial sanctions for violation of any provision of the Federal securities laws
and the regulations adopted thereunder, and the SEC may preclude a firm that has
been sanctioned from continuing to act in such capacity. Investment companies
such as the AmeriPrime Funds, AmeriPrime Advisers Trust and Unified Series Trust
are subject to substantive regulation under the Investment Company Act. Such
companies must comply with periodic reporting requirements. Proxy solicitations
are subject to the general proxy rules as well as to special proxy rules
applicable only to investment companies. Shares of investment companies can only
be offered at the next-determined net asset value plus any sales load. A fund's
management agreement initially must be approved by the fund's board of trustees
and a majority of the outstanding shares and, after two years, must be annually
approved, either by the board or by the outstanding voting shares. A fund's
management agreement must automatically terminate in the event of assignment and
typically is subject to termination upon 60-days' notice by the board or by a
vote of the majority of the outstanding voting shares. The underwriting or
distribution agreement also must be annually approved by the board or by a vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting shares, and must provide for automatic
termination in event of assignment. Transactions between the investment company
and an affiliate are prohibited.

REGULATORY PENALITIES FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN MINIMUM NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

         The Securities Exchange Act imposes minimum net capital requirements
for broker-dealer firms. A decrease below the minimum level of net capital
required to be maintained by Unified Financial Securities under the Securities
Exchange Act could force Unified Financial Securities to suspend activities
pending recovery of net capital. Factors that may affect Unified Financial
Securities' net capital include the general investment climate as well as our
ability to obtain any assets necessary to contribute equity capital to Unified
Financial Securities.

RISKS OF BUSINESS

         Our businesses are subject to various risks and contingencies, many of
which are beyond our ability to control. These risks include: economic
conditions generally and, in particular, those affecting the bond and securities
markets; discretionary income available for investment; customer inability to
meet payment or delivery commitments; customer fraud; and employee fraud,
misconduct and error.

COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATORY PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE

         Various aspects of our businesses are subject to Federal and state
regulation as well as to oversight by self-regulatory organizations that,
depending on the nature of any failure to comply with an applicable entity's
rules, may result in the suspension or revocation of licenses or registration,
including broker-dealer, investment adviser, transfer agent and premium finance
licenses and registrations, as well as the imposition of civil fines and
criminal penalties. Failure by us or any of our employees to comply with such
regulations or with any of the laws, rules or regulations of Federal, state or
industry authorities (principally the NASD, SEC and Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency) could result in censure, imposition of fines or other sanctions,
including revocation of our right to do business or in suspension or expulsion
from the NASD. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon
us. Such NASD, SEC and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations are
designed primarily for the protection of the investing customers of securities
firms and financial institutions and not our stockholders. Finally, there is no
assurance that we, along with other financial institutions, fund distributors,
administrators and managers will not be subjected to additional stringent
regulation and publicity that may adversely affect our business.

COMPETITION

         Since inception, we have encountered substantial competition in the
businesses in which we compete. Our principal competitors include mutual funds,
investment advisers, investment counsel firms and financial institutions such as
banks, trust companies, savings and loan institutions and credit unions.
Competition is influenced by various factors, including breadth, quality of
service and price. All aspects of our business are competitive. Large national
firms have much greater marketing capabilities, offer a broader range of
financial services and compete not only with us and among themselves but also
with commercial banks, insurance companies and others for retail and
institutional clients. Competition for assets under management, under service
and under administration is intense from both national and regional firms.
Access to local investment and the population of the region by modern
communication systems is so efficient that our geographical position cannot be
deemed an advantage. Our investment management operations compete with a large
number of other investment management firms, commercial banks, insurance
companies, broker-dealers and other financial service firms. Most of these firms
are larger and have access to greater resources than us. The investment advisory
industry is characterized by relatively low cost of entry and the formation of
new investment advisory entities that may compete directly with us is a frequent
occurrence. We directly compete with as many as several hundred firms that are
of similar or larger size. Our ability to increase and retain clients' assets
could be materially adversely affected if client accounts under-perform the
market. The ability of our investment management subsidiaries to compete with
other investment management firms also is dependent, in part, on the relative
attractiveness of their investment philosophies and methods under prevailing
market conditions. Although we may expand the financial services we provide to
our customers, we do not now offer as broad a range of financial services as
national stock exchange member firms, commercial banks, insurance companies and
others.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY CLIENTS

         As of December 31, 2003, we provided mutual fund services, transfer
agency, fund accounting, administration and/or distribution services to 31
mutual fund families consisting of 176 portfolios, with revenues from the
largest mutual fund family representing approximately 31.8% of Unified Fund
Services' revenues. The contracts with respect to such funds typically expire
within one to three years. No assurance can be given that any of these funds
will remain our clients upon expiration or termination of the various
administration and distribution agreements. The loss by us of such mutual fund
clients could have a material adverse effect on us.

                                       -8-
<PAGE>

         As of December 31, 2003, we provided trust and retirement services to
approximately 1,800 different clients, with revenues from the largest client
representing 1.9% of our trust company's revenues. Clients have the right to
cancel their contracts at anytime. No assurance can be given that any of these
clients will remain our clients upon expiration or termination of the
agreements.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

         We are dependent in a large part on our senior management personnel.
The loss or unavailability of any of these persons could have a material adverse
effect on us. Our success also will depend on our ability to attract and retain
highly skilled personnel in all areas of our business. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to attract and retain personnel on acceptable terms in the
future. We do not presently own insurance covering the lives of our senior
management. There can be no assurance that the services of our senior management
will continue to be available.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 2003, we and our subsidiaries had 126 employees, of
which 122 were full-time employees. None of our employees or the employees of
our subsidiaries is subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We consider
our relationship with our employees and those of our subsidiaries to be good.

WEB SITES

         Our web site address is "www.unified.com." We make available free of
charge on our web site our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments thereto, as soon as
reasonably practicable after we file such reports with the SEC. The reference to
our web site does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information
contained in the web site and should not be considered part of this document.

         Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
periodic and current reports must be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). We electronically file the following reports with the SEC:
Form 10-K (Annual Report), Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report), Form 8-K (Report of
Unscheduled Material Events), Form S-8 and 8-A (Registration Statements), and
Form DEF 14A (Proxy Statement). We may file additional forms. The SEC maintains
an Internet site, www.sec.gov, in which all forms filed electronically may be
accessed.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
         ----------

         We, through our subsidiary, Unified Trust Company, National
Association, lease our corporate headquarters and administrative office
facilities located at 2353 Alexandria Drive, Lexington, Kentucky. Unified
Financial Securities' and Unified Fund Services' administrative offices are
located at 431 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Such facilities
consist of approximately 12,836 square feet and are subject to a lease expiring
in 2007. Unified Trust Company, National Association's administrative offices
are located at 2353 Alexandria Drive, Lexington, Kentucky. The operating lease
for Unified Trust Company, National Association's offices expires in 2007 and
such offices have approximately 12,983 square feet. Fiduciary Counsel's
administrative offices are located at 36 West 44th Street, New York, New York.
The operating lease for such offices expires on April 30, 2004 and such offices
have approximately 4,920 square feet. There are various alternatives including
extending the lease with the landlord or relocating to another in the New York
area. Our current offices are considered adequate to serve our foreseeable
needs. Other than the administrative office leases, we have no other significant
property holdings.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
         -----------------

         On November 15, 2001, an arbitration was filed against Unified
Financial Securities, Inc. and certain other defendants (Martin and Diane
Saniski v. Unified Financial Securities, Inc., Hackett Associates, Inc., Donald
Friedman, Louis Aarons and Cliff Cardine, NASD Arbitration No. 01-05465). The
claimants in such action opened a joint account with Unified Financial
Securities, Inc. into which they deposited restricted shares of PMC Sierra
common stock registered to Martin Saniski. Apparently for estate and income tax
planning purposes, claimants sought to transfer a portion of the shares to an
account belonging to Diane Saniski only, and then transfer the shares to a
charitable remainder trust, which then would sell the shares. The entire
sequence of transfers took a little less than 60 days to complete. During such
60-day period, the market price of the PMC Sierra shares declined. Claimants
allege that they placed an order to sell the PMC Sierra shares with the
individual financial planner with whom they were dealing (an individual who is
not a registered agent of Unified Financial Securities, Inc.), but that the
order was not executed. Claimants request at least $6.5 million in compensatory
damages. Management believes, upon consultation with counsel, that the claims
are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. Unified Financial
Securities, Inc. has filed cross claims against the other defendants in this
arbitration and also has filed a claim against Hackett Associates, Inc.,
pursuant to its agreement with Hackett Associates, Inc., for reimbursement of
Unified Financial Securities, Inc.'s expenses to defend this matter. (Hackett is
a broker dealer who cleared through Unified Financial Securities.) The
arbitration with respect to this matter currently is scheduled to be held in
June 2004.

         Various other claims and lawsuits incidental to our ordinary course of
business are pending against us and our subsidiaries. In the opinion of
management, after consultation with legal counsel, resolution of these matters
is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
         ---------------------------------------------------

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

     (1) During June 2002 and June 2003, we repurchased 240 and 129 shares,
         respectively, of our common stock from the Unified Financial Services
         Equity Participation Plan at a price of $16.50 and $8.40, respectively,
         per share. The prices paid for such repurchased shares were based upon
         the most recent independent valuation that we had for our common stock
         as of the respective date of purchase.
     (2) During the fourth quarter of 2002, we repurchased 14,700 shares of our
         common stock in connection with the extinguishment of an outstanding
         loan to Unified Banking Company. In connection with such repurchase, we
         (i) gave both a release of claims to the borrower and (ii) paid $73,630
         to Unified Banking Company on behalf of the borrower. The fair market
         value of the release was not determined.
     (3) During March 2003 and December 2003, we repurchased 15,000 and 3,000
         shares, respectively, of our common stock from former officers of
         Equity Underwriting Group pursuant to the terms of agreements that we
         entered into with such officers in December 2001 in connection with the
         sale of our insurance operations.
     (4) Private.

         Because of our closely held nature, no representation is made that the
foregoing prices are or are not reflective of a "market price." As of March 2,
2004, we reported approximately 335 stockholders of record holding our common
stock. We sold no securities during 2003. To our knowledge, the most recent
transaction in our common stock occurred on February 3, 2004 at a price of
$10.30 per share.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        ---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

         The following presents management's discussion and analysis of our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations as of the dates and
for the years indicated. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our
audited, consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.

                                       -13-
<PAGE>





         In December 2001, we sold substantially all of the assets and assigned
substantially all of the liabilities of our insurance subsidiaries, Equity
Insurance Managers, Inc., Equity Insurance Administrators, Inc. and 21st Century
Claims Service, Inc., to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. In connection with the sale,
$800,000 in cash was deposited into an escrow account and was subject to
possible indemnification claims of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. pursuant to the
sale agreement. As of December 31, 2001, we established a liability of $800,000
related to the escrow. Based on our estimate of the anticipated claims
settlement at December 31, 2002, we recorded a gain on the sale of $280,000
during 2002. During the third quarter 2003, we settled all outstanding claims
against the escrow for $250,000. As a result of such settlement, we recorded an
additional gain on the sale of operations of $270,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2003. In addition, we reversed $42,116 in selling expenses accrued
for potential miscellaneous taxes and professional fees that was not required.
During the year ended December 31, 2003, we also accrued $122,599 for income
taxes related to the gain on sale.

         During 2000 and into 2001, our nature of operations changed, and
personnel and costs were oriented to the consolidation, merger and repositioning
of the subsidiaries and lines of business acquired in 1998 and 1999. While this
consolidation, merger and repositioning continued in 2001, the major focus of
2001, in terms of both personnel time and company expense, was the positioning,
marketing, negotiating and due diligence of the sale of our insurance
operations. Legal and professional fees attributable to the preparation, sale
and discontinuation of the insurance operations were charged against the sale.
Additionally, $1,632,311 in corporate expenses associated with personnel
involved with the sale and discontinuation of the insurance operations was
charged against the sale.

         In May 2002, we disposed of Fully Armed Productions, Inc., which we
acquired in June 1999 in exchange for 18,182 shares of our common stock. In
connection with such disposition, and in exchange for all of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of Fully Armed Productions, Inc., we received 18,182
shares of our common stock and $37,569 in cash. The results of Fully Armed
Productions are shown as a non-cash flow transaction in our consolidated
statements of cash flows.

         In November 2003, we sold Unified Banking Company to Blue River
Bancshares, Inc. in exchange for $8.2 million in cash. In connection with such
sale, we executed a depository agreement pursuant to which we agreed to maintain
deposits solely with Shelby County Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue River
Bancshares, or Unified Banking Company until we and our subsidiaries have
maintained with either or both of Unified Banking Company and Shelby County Bank
an aggregate minimum deposit balance, computed quarterly, of $8.5 million. The
depository agreement has a term of three years from November 19, 2003. In
connection with the sale, we had selling expenses of $228,449. We recorded state
and federal taxes of $958,355. The after tax gain on sale was $1,552,251.

         As required by accounting rules, the operating results of our insurance
subsidiaries, Fully Armed Productions, Inc. and Unified Banking Company have
been excluded from our results from continuing operations for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. Such results are reported as discontinued
operations for such years.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 and 2002

         Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same
period of 2002 declined $781,110, or 5.0%, from $15,535,762 to $14,754,652. For
such periods, gross profit increased $395,831, or 3.2%, from $12,197,141 to
$12,592,972.

         For the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002,
trust and retirement gross revenue and gross profit increased $421,407, or 8.5%,
and $407,818, or 10.1%, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the
average level of assets under management/administration. During the year ended


                                       -14-
<PAGE>

December 31, 2003, our trust and retirement services operation added 126 new
accounts, representing approximately $119.8 million in assets under
administration/management, but also lost 45 accounts representing approximately
$34.4 million in assets under administration/management. As of December 31,
2003, our trust and retirement services operation had approximately $677.4
million in assets compared to $491.8 million as of December 31, 2002 an increase
of approximately 37.7%. Wealth management assets total growth increased
$94,823,824, or 35.1%, to $364,609,329 as of December 31, 2003 from $269,785,505
at December 31, 2002. ERISA assets total growth increased $90,171,784, or 40.5%
to $312,771,784.

         For such periods, mutual fund administration services revenue declined
$1,202,937, or 14.4%, and gross profit decreased $22,503, or 0.4%. Our mutual
fund administration services operation consists of Unified Fund Services, Inc.,
our mutual fund administration services subsidiary, and Unified Financial
Securities, Inc., our brokerage subsidiary. Unified Financial Securities gross
revenue declined $1,031,843 from $1,750,032 to $718,189. Gross profit for
Unified Financial Securities decreased $72,200 from $481,421 to $409,520. During
2002, management made the decision to exit the clearing, retail and discount
brokerage business and focus the efforts of our brokerage subsidiary on the
distribution of mutual funds. By the end of 2003, we had completely exited the
retail and discount brokerage businesses. For the year ended December 31, 2003,
Unified Fund Services' revenue decreased by $171,094, or 2.6%, and gross profit
increased $49,697, or .9%, respectively, compared to the same period of 2002.
For the year ended December 31, 2003, transfer agency revenue and gross profit
increased $493,079, or 21.8%, and $562,055, or 28.7%, respectively, due
principally to the addition of the Huntington funds in June 2002, which added
$2.9 billion in assets for all of 2003 versus $3.4 billion for half of 2002. The
addition of five new funds in 2003 added approximately $342 million in assets
under service as of the end of 2003. Fund accounting revenue and gross profit
declined $149,599, or 9.0%, and $146,807, or 10.3%, respectively, due to three
funds closing in early 2003. Retirement service fees revenue and gross profit
declined $91,479, or 32.8%, as more fund clients discontinued operations due to
continuing poor market conditions. Administrative services decreased $38,698, or
2.7% and gross profit decreased $51,566, or 3.6%, due to the closure of three
funds in early 2003. Service plan fees increased $66,951 and gross profit
increased $119,714. For such periods, trail income and net trail income declined
by $201,158, or 42.0%, and $57,799, or 28.7%, respectively, due to a decrease in
basis points received from one of our mutual fund providers. Investment
management fee income and gross profit declined $256,631 due to Unified
Investment Advisers, Inc. ceasing to serve as the investment advisor to the
Liquid Green Money Market Fund in 2002. As of December 31, 2003, we provided
mutual fund administrative services to 31 mutual fund families consisting of 176
portfolios and approximately $14.0 billion in assets under service, compared to
29 mutual fund families consisting of 185 portfolios and approximately $11.7
billion in mutual fund assets under service as of December 31, 2002.

         For the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period of
2002, investment advisory revenue and gross profit declined $182,860, or 11.7%,
and $125,033, or 9.8%, respectively. Such declines primarily were due to the
loss of a large client during the early part of 2003. Also contributing to the
decrease in revenue was the loss of a large family client amounting to
approximately $20,000 in fee income. In addition, many of our investment
advisory clients are billed annually in the beginning of the year. Asset levels
were lower during January 2003 than January 2002, which resulted in lower fee
income during 2003. Assets under management at our investment advisory operation
decreased $19.7 million, or 8.6%, to $207,598,658.

            Gross revenue and gross profit at our premium financing operation
increased $249,231 and $201,500, respectively. This is primarily due to a
$135,549, or 19.7%, increase in revenues at our premium finance company.
Revenues at such company increased primarily as the result of an increased
volume of loans outstanding and an increased interest spread due to a reduction
in the prime rate of interest. Receivables at our insurance premium finance
company were $4,320,251 at December 31, 2003 compared to $2,960,344 at December
31, 2002.

                                       -15-
<PAGE>

         For such periods, corporate revenue and gross profit decreased $65,951,
or 64.6%. This is due to interest received on note receivable in 2002.

         Total operating expenses decreased $2,024,381, or 11.7%, for the year
ended December 31, 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. Of such decrease,
$1,176,941 relates to cost sales discussed above as a part of gross profit.
Total expenses less cost of sales decreased $847,440. Employee compensation
expense declined by $617,894, or 8.0%, primarily due to salary reductions taken
by certain officers of our company during March and April of 2003 and 2002,
which reductions ranged from 20% to 40% of such officers' annualized salary, and
a reduced employee workforce. Correspondingly, employee benefits decreased by
$50,540, or 4.4%. Data processing expense increased $77,891, primarily due to an
$82,723 increase at our trust and retirement services operation due to its
expanded usage of vendor products. Mail and courier expense declined $22,393, or
17.5%, primarily due to lower business volume at our brokerage subsidiary.
Telephone costs declined $68,645, or 30.4%, primarily due to the elimination of
our wide area network in May 2002. Equipment rental and maintenance expense
decreased by $19,292, or 4.7%, primarily due to $33,058 increase in licensing
fees related to new cash reconciliation software at our mutual fund
administration services operation, offset by a $23,502 decline in expenses
associated with our brokerage clearing relationships. Also contributing to the
decrease is due to capitalizing software in 2003 versus expensing in 2002, which
amounted to $13,995, and $16,185 decline at our corporate segment due to non
recurring system enhancements in 2002. Occupancy increased $57,761, or 7.1%,
primarily due to a $77,422 increase at our premium finance company, which was
part of the selling agreement and a $12,919 increase at our trust company.
Offsetting this is a $30,516 reduction in costs at our corporate segment. For
such periods, depreciation and amortization expense increased $60,547, or 25.1%.
The depreciation and amortization expense recorded for 2003 is typical of our
normal, recurring expense. The expense recorded for 2002 included a reversal of
an accrual made during 2001, which resulted in a reduction of depreciation and
amortization expense for 2002 compared to the same period of 2003. Professional
fees decreased $112,939, or 11.0%, primarily due to a $252,789 decrease at our
mutual fund service operation. This decrease relates to the accrual of costs to
startup the Unified Series Trust in 2002 and the closure of Unified Investment
Advisers, which reduced trustee fees. Also contributing to the decline was a
reduction of $21,087 in professional fees at our brokerage subsidiary due to it
being reimbursed by a third-party clearing broker dealer for legal expenses we
previously paid in connection with a pending arbitration. Expenses at our Trust
operation decreased $38,423. Travel expense decreased $116,818 of which $70,646
is due to accruing expenses relating to the cash management reconciliation issue
in 2002. Also contributing was a decrease in traveling by our corporate staff.
Insurance expenses increased $203,859, or 84.5%, primarily due to our purchase
of expanded insurance coverage and due to a general increase in insurance rates
in the insurance industry. For such periods, errors/recovery expense declined
$210,013, primarily due to a $454,000 accrual at our mutual fund operation in
2002, relating to reconciliation issues. Offsetting expense in 2002 was a
$190,000 recovery in 2002. Provision for bad debt decreased $64,638, or 57.0%.
Business development costs decreased $107,020, or 69.8%. For such periods, other
operating expenses increased $152,694, or 35.1%, primarily due to an increase in
all other expense at our trust operation of $193,649.

         Trust and retirement results from operations increased $791,745 from a
loss of $378,867 in 2002 to a profit of $421,407. Of such increase revenue
increased $412,407 and expenses decreased approximately $367,000 principally
related to a reduction in staff and lower operating expenses. Mutual fund
administration results from operations increased $354,371 from $234,019 in 2002
to $588,390 in 2003. Revenue decreased $1,202,937 principally at our brokerage
operations which exited the clearing, retail and discount brokerage business
which has lower gross profit businesses. Our mutual fund administration
operating expenses decreased $494,656. For such periods, errors/recovery expense
declined $210,013, primarily due to a $454,000 accrual in 2002, relating to
reconciliation issues. Offsetting the expense in 2002 was a $190,000 recovery.
Our professional and consulting fees decreased $196,519 due to the closure of
Unified Investment Advisers, which was partially offset by higher consulting
fees related to consulting associated with the cash management reconciliation
project. Our investment advisory results from operations decreased $53,411 due


                                       -16-
<PAGE>

to the loss of a large client in early 2003 and many of our investment advisory
clients are billed annually when asset levels were lower during January 2003
than January 2002, which resulted in lower fee income during 2003. Our premium
financing results from operations increased $124,010 primarily as the result of
an increased volume of loans outstanding and an increased interest spread due to
a reduction in the prime rate of interest.

         Loss from operations decreased $1,223,271, or 72.0%, due to the
$2,004,381 decrease in expenses as discussed above offset by the $781,110
decrease in revenue. Net loss from continuing operations increased $770,754,
primarily due to a $2,708,078 expense relating to the settlement of employment
contracts. We terminated our in house counsels' employment agreements and will
be utilizing external counsel. We anticipate this will lower expenses.
Partially, offsetting this was an increase of $674,345 in tax benefit.

         For the year ended December 31, 2003, we recorded a gain on sale of
operations of $1,741,768 compared to $637,681 for the same period of 2002. For
the year ended December 31, 2003, net gain on sale of Unified Banking Company
was $1,552,251. Net gain on sale of Equity Insurance Managers was $189,517. We
recorded income of $270,000 from settlement of the escrow established for
possible indemnification claims of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. pursuant to the
sale agreement dated December 17, 2001. The reversal of accruals relating to the
sale of our insurance operations amounted to $42,116. During 2002, the $637,681
gain on sale was related to Equity Insurance Managers. Taxes on the gain on sale
increased $575,288.

         Income from discontinued operations for year 2003 was $47,864 compared
to a loss of $373,509 for the same period of 2002. Income for the year ended
December 31, 2003 at Unified Banking Company was $80,004 compared to a loss of
$626,369 for the same period of 2002. During June 2002, Unified Banking Company
charged-off $655,590 in loans, which accounted for most of the 2002 loss. Also
included in net income/loss from discontinued operations is $6,822 related to
Equity Insurance Managers of Illinois, Fully Armed Productions, and Unified
Employee Services.

          Net loss decreased $754,706 from a loss of $1,345,814 for the year
ended December 31, 2002 to a loss of $591,108 for the same period of 2003.
Income from discontinued operations improved $421,373 with Unified Banking
Company accounting for $546,365 of the improvement ($655,590 of the $626,369
loss was related to loans written off in 2002). In addition, we recorded a net
gain on the sale of operations of $1,741,768 in 2003 compared to $637,681 in
2002, a change of $1,104,087. The net loss from continuing operations increased
$770,754 from a loss of $1,609,986 in 2002 to a loss of $2,380,740 for the year
ended December 31, 2003. For such periods, expenses declined $2,004,381 and
gross revenue decreased $781,110. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share for
the year ended December 31, 2003 were ($0.21) per share compared to ($0.47) per
share in 2002.

 COMPARISON OF RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 and 2001

         Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the prior year
decreased $182,572, or 1.2%, from $15,718,334 to $15,535,762. For such years,
gross profit decreased $143,852, or 1.2%.

         For the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to 2001, trust and
retirement services revenue increased $124,021, or 2.6% primarily due to
increased fees associated with new accounts. Gross profit decreased $17,441, or
0.4%, primarily due to an increase in commissions paid. During 2002, our trust
and retirement services operation added approximately 250 new accounts,
representing approximately $63.1 million in assets under management. As of
December 31, 2002, our trust and retirement services operation had approximately
$492.4 million in assets under management compared to $511.1 million as of
December 31, 2001, a decline of approximately 3.7% for the year. This minor
decline primarily was due to the effect of the general decline in the financial
markets during 2002, partially offset by the addition of new assets under
management as a result of new client accounts and contributions made during 2002
to existing client accounts.

         Our mutual fund administration services operation consists of Unified
Fund Services, Inc., our mutual fund administration services subsidiary, and
Unified Financial Securities, Inc., our brokerage subsidiary. Gross revenue for
our mutual fund administration increased $138,642, or 1.7%. Gross profit
increased $413,746, or 7.2%. For such years, Unified Fund Services revenue
increased $685,164, or 12.7%, and gross profit increased $595,876, each
primarily due to an increase in assets under service at such operation during
2002. As of December 31, 2002, we provided mutual fund administrative services
to 29 mutual fund families consisting of approximately 185 portfolios and
approximately $11.7 billion in assets under service, compared to 30 mutual fund
families consisting of 143 portfolios and approximately $5.9 billion in mutual
fund assets under service as of December 31, 2001. Approximately $2.8 billion of
the increase in assets under service was added during June 2002 with our
commencement of services for the Huntington Funds. During 2002, Unified Fund
Services added several new larger clients, but also saw several smaller clients
discontinue operations due to market conditions. While our assets under service
increased year to year, the mix of services (transfer agency, fund accounting
and administrative services) that we provided to certain of our mutual fund
clients changed. We recognize higher margins on administrative services and, to
a lesser extent, fund accounting services compared to transfer agency services.
Our pricing, in certain instances, also is dependent upon the number of
shareholder accounts serviced. An omnibus account may represent a significant
amount of assets under service, but would not generate as much in fees as an
account with hundreds of shareholders but less assets under service. For such
years, transfer agency and fund accounting revenues increased $680,070 and
$183,191, respectively, while administration services revenues declined
$164,321. For the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to 2001, brokerage
revenue and gross profit declined $546,522, or 19.6%, and $182,130, or 17.0%,
respectively. These declines were, in large part, attributable to a $215,011
decline in commission revenue due to the loss of certain full service brokerage
accounts. In 2002, management made the decision to begin to exit the retail
brokerage business and terminate our relationship with various certified public
accountants that serve as registered representatives of our brokerage operation,
based upon the risks and costs associated with this type of business. All such
CPA relationships terminated in June 2003. Also contributing to the declines in
brokerage revenue and gross profit were a $139,222 decline in fees associated
with the Liquid Green Money Market Fund, which fund was transferred to
Huntington Bank in September 2002, a $131,527 decline in commission revenue from
introducing firm clients and a $85,129 decline in investment management fees
resulting from lower trading volume from and lower asset levels at our trust and
retirement services' Manager Resource program.

         For such years, investment advisory revenue and gross profit declined
$398,714, or 20.3%, and $493,636, or 27.9%, respectively. Such declines
primarily were due to the lower market value of assets under management at such
operation. Assets under management at our investment advisory operation declined
$120.2 million, or 34.5%, from $348.5 million at December 31, 2001 to $228.3
million at December 31, 2002. Of such decline, approximately $37.9 million, or
31.6%, was attributable to the transfer of the assets of the Liquid Green Money
Market Fund to the Huntington Funds and approximately $26.9 million, or 22.4%,
was attributable to the termination of such operation's relationship with one
portfolio manager, which manager represented approximately $120,000 in revenue
during 2001.

         Gross revenue and gross profit at our premium financing operation
increased $9,235, or 1.6%. Receivables at our premium finance company were
$2,960,344 at December 31, 2002 and $2,216,803 at December 31, 2001.

         Corporate revenue and gross profit declined $55,756, or 35.3%,
primarily due to our receipt in 2001 of $135,000 in settlement of a trademark
dispute. Revenue in 2001 included $82,826 of cash receipts from Equity Insurance
Managers.

         Total expenses decreased $204,443, or 1.2%, for the year ended December
31, 2002 compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. Of such decrease, cost of
sales accounts for $38,720. Total expenses less cost of sales decreased
$165,723. During the second half of 2001, management implemented certain expense
cuts in an effort to improve the profitability of our company, which cuts were
offset by the establishment of a $454,000 reserve at our mutual fund
administrative services operation for possible losses relating to reconciliation
issues. Significant efforts are being made to resolve the reconciliation ITEMs
and we will make every effort to recoup any loss that is determined to have been
caused by a third party. In addition to the $454,000 reserve, we also
established a $400,000 reserve related to the estimated costs to ascertain the
extent and nature of such possible losses and to redesign control procedures and
make other system enhancements to ensure that such reconciliation issues do not
recur. Data processing expense increased $194,092, or 36.3%, primarily due to
the purchase of a new straight through processing system at our trust and
retirement services operation. Occupancy expense increased $112,993, or 16.1%,
primarily due to an $83,319 increase in expense at Commonwealth Premium Finance
Company. Prior to 2002, Commonwealth Premium Finance Corporation occupied space
leased by a sister company. In December 2001, Commonwealth Premium Finance
Corporation began leasing space following the sale of our insurance operation.
Also contributing to the increase was the loss of a subtenant at our New York
office, which resulted in $14,195 in additional expense. For such years,
depreciation and amortization expense declined $329,293, or 57.7%, primarily due
to the effect of a reversal of a previous depreciation accrual of $187,054 and
our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, which
required us to cease amortizing goodwill. Under recently adopted accounting
rules, we will be required to periodically evaluate the carrying value of our
goodwill balances to determine whether the value has been impaired. If we
determine there has been an impairment, we will recognize a charge to our
earnings in the quarter we determine the value has been impaired, which could be
material. Without the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill expense would have been
$104,320. Professional fees increased $484,273, or 89.6%, primarily due to
$280,000 in fees related to ascertaining the extent and nature of possible
reconciliation losses at our mutual fund administration services operation and
to redesign control procedures and make other system enhancements to ensure that
such reconciliation issues do not recur. Errors/recovery expense decreased
$479,783, or 67.8%. During 2002, we experienced operational issues at our mutual
fund administrative services affiliate relating to reconciliation issues. As a
result, we established a $454,000 reserve related to possible losses, which was
recorded as errors during the fourth quarter of 2002. Offsetting this expense
was a $517,000 loss recognized by Unified Investment Advisers, Inc. in the
fourth quarter of 2001, which loss was related to our affiliated money market
fund. We received a partial recovery of $145,000 during 2002 with respect to
this loss. Our provision for bad debt declined $287,321, or 71.7%, due to our


                                       -19-
<PAGE>

write-off during 2001 of certain uncollected receivables at our mutual fund
services operations, without any corresponding write-off during 2002. Business
development costs declined by $58,148, or 27.5%, due to a decline in marketing
costs at our trust operation. Insurance expense increased $109,770, or 83.4%,
for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the prior year, primarily as a
result of increased premiums charged by our insurance carriers. For such years,
other operating expense increased $77,142, or 22.2%, primarily due to a $419,977
benefit received by us during 2001 in connection with the construction and
development of the VSX marketplace and its corresponding products, compared to a
$258,758 benefit received by us during 2002. Removing the effect of the benefit
received from VSX Holdings during 2002 and 2001, other expenses declined
$84,077, or 11.0%, primarily due to our efforts to control costs.

         Trust and retirement results from operations increased $91,573 to a
loss of $378,867 in 2002 from a loss of $470,440. The improvement is principally
due to lower expenses related to a reduction in staff and lower operating
expenses. Mutual fund administration results from operations increased $178,173
to $234,019 in 2003 from $55,846 in 2002. This increase resulted from a decrease
in operating expenses, partially offset by a decline in revenues. Revenue at our
mutual fund administrative services operation increased $7997,941 while our
brokerage operations revenue declined $659,299. Our brokerage operations began
in 2002 to exit the clearing, retail and discount brokerage business which has
lower profit business. Our 2002 mutual fund administration operating expenses
decreased significantly compared to 2001 as a result of writing off
uncollectible receivables. During the second half of 2001, management
implemented certain expense reductions in an effort to improve the profitability
of the operations. These reductions were offset by the establishment of a
$454,000 reserve for possible losses related to reconciliation issues. We also
established a $400,000 reserved related to the estimated cost to ascertain the
extent and nature of such possible losses and to redesign control procedures and
make other system enhancement to ensure that such reconciliation issues do not
recur. Our investment advisory results of operations decreased $105,246 related
to lower market value of assets under management partially offset by the
elimination of goodwill amortization as required by general accepted accounting
principles and a planned reduction in operating expenses. Our premium financing
results from operations increased $18,402 primarily as the results of an
increased volume of loans outstanding slightly offset by higher operating
expenses.

         For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a $1,609,986 net loss
from continuing operations compared to a $126,353 income for 2001. The
$1,736,339 increase in net loss during such years primarily was due to the
decline in income tax benefit from $1,926,353 for the year ended December 31
2001 to $123,549 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Accounting rules require
us to recapture prior net operating loss carryforwards by displaying them as an
income tax benefit on continued operations. Also contributing to the increase
was the $143,852 decrease in gross profit, as discussed above, offset by the
decreased expenses.

         For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $637,681 in net gain
on the sale of operations compared to $2,847,708 in 2001. We recorded $373,509
in net loss from discontinued operations for 2002 compared to $394,412 in net
income from discontinued operations for 2001. Discontinued operations for the
year ended December 31, 2001 included the operating results of our insurance
operations, which were sold in December 2001 and of our banking operations in
November of 2003.

         We recorded a net loss of $1,345,814, or a basic and fully diluted loss
per share of $0.47, for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to net income
of $3,368,473, or basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.17 and $1.11,
respectively, for the same period of 2001.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

         GENERAL. The discussion contained in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is based upon the
audited, consolidated financial statements contained in this report, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carry values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and
disclosure of these estimates with the members of the audit, nominating and
compensation committee of our board of directors. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes
the following critical accounting policies reflect its more significant
estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report.

         VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, INCLUDING. We review intangible assets
and our operating assets, including goodwill, for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be
recoverable. Our asset impairment review assesses the fair value of assets based
on the future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss
is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result
from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the
asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. This approach uses
our estimates of future market growth, forecasted revenue and costs, expected
periods the assets will be utilized and the appropriate discount methods. Such
evaluations of impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, are an
integral part of, but not limited to, our strategic reviews of our business and
operations performed in conjunction with restructuring actions. When an
impairment is identified, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its
estimated fair value. Deterioration of our business in a geographic region or
within a business segment in the future could also lead to impairment
adjustments as such issues are identified.

         Critical estimates in valuing goodwill include, but are not limited to,
those discussed above. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon
assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and
unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates.
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," at which time goodwill amortization
ceased. Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing implied value to its
carry value. We engaged an independent third-party appraiser, which assisted us
in concluding that our recorded goodwill was not impaired. Impairment
adjustments after adoption of the accounting rule, if any, are required to be
recognized as operating expense when determined.

         ACCRUED LIABILITY FOR OPERATIONAL ISSUES. Specifically, During 2002, we
experienced operational issues with respect to our mutual fund administrative
services affiliate, which issues are primarily related to problems associated
with our reconciliation of various cash accounts. In connection therewith, we
established an $854,000 reserve, $454,000 of which is related to possible
reconciliation losses and $400,000 of which is related to estimated costs to
ascertain the extent and nature of such losses and to redesign control
procedures and make other system enhancements to ensure that such reconciliation
issues do not recur. During 2003, we expended all of the $400,000 reserve. At
December 31, 2003, we have estimated a remaining liability of $161,000 of the
$454,000 reserve mentioned above.



                                       -21-
<PAGE>



         REVENUE RECOGNITION. Our trust and retirement services operation's
revenue reflects a revenue sharing arrangement, as well as investment adviser
fees earned by third party advisers, which are recorded on the accrual basis.
The fees earned by the operation and paid to sub-advisers are based on
established fee schedules and contracts. Generally, fees paid to our trust and
retirement services operation by the various mutual funds in which client assets
are invested are used to offset the fees due from the client. In the event such
fees do not cover all fees due to our operation, the remainder is collected from
the client. If the fees exceed fees due, a credit is given to the client.
Revenue is recorded as it is earned each month based upon assets under
management times a stated fee schedule. Historically, we have experienced very
low levels of deviation from recorded estimates, and we assume the estimates are
reasonable.

         ALLOWANCES FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND LOAN LOSSES. We evaluate the
collectibility of our trade and financing receivables based on a combination of
factors. We regularly analyze our customer accounts and, in the event we become
aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to us
(such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the client's
financial position or operating results), we record a reserve for bad debt or
loan loss to reduce the related receivable to an amount we reasonable believe is
collectible. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our
estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

         TAXES ON EARNINGS. Our effective tax rate is low because of our federal
income tax net operating loss carryforwards. We record the tax benefit on the
net operating loss when realized.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         LIQUIDITY . Our primary sources of liquidity historically have been and
continue to be cash flow from operating activities. During 2003, $550,000 was
released from escrow. We received $800,000 in cash for the years ended December
31, 2002 in connection with the sale of the assets of our insurance subsidiaries
in 2001. We also received $8.2 million in cash before selling expenses of
$228,449 for the year ended December 31, 2003 in connection with the sale of
Unified Banking Company.

         Cash and cash equivalents for the year-ended December 31, 2002 of
$4,269,657 increased to $5,536,622 at December 31, 2003. The net increase of
cash and cash equivalents for the company was $1,226,965. Of such amount, we
received $8,200,000 from Blue River Bancshares for the sale of stock of Unified
Banking Company, NA, and we incurred selling expenses of $228,449. We received
cash related to the note receivable from Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. of $800,000
and paid Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. $250,000 related to indemnification claims
with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Our premium insurance financing receivable
increased $1,359,907 of which the premium finance operations received proceeds
from its line of credit of $55,000. Our receivables increased $403,750. We
invested the part of the proceeds from the sale of Unified Banking Company of
$6,012,939 less the monies used to finance the premium finance receivable of
$2,430,000. We retired 18,129 shares of our common stock for $316,084. Capital
expenditures accounted for a $228,170 usage of cash. We expended $400,000 for
the cost of professional fees, related travel and administration expenses to
ascertain the nature and extent of operational issues at our mutual fund
operations and we incurred $292,600 related to reconciliation losses. The cash
loss from operations, net of non-cash items such as: provisions for
depreciation, provision for bad debt, change in market value of securities, loss
on disposal of fixed assets. We expended cash of $78,000 for the prepaid income
taxes and deposit on the purchase of Latinvalley LLC., securities of $43,000. We
also received $71,006 from VSX Holdings, LLC during the year ended December 31,
2003 in connection with services we provided relating to the construction and
development of the VSX marketplace and its corresponding products.

                                       -22-
<PAGE>

         CAPITAL RESOURCES. Total stockholders' equity was $13,486,626 at
December 31, 2003 compared to $15,494,821 at year-end 2002. The decline in total
equity was due to our loss from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2003, partially offset by the gain realized upon the sale of the
assets of our insurance subsidiaries. Contributing to the decline was the
retirement of common stock. We had no material commitments for capital
expenditures as of December 31, 2003.

         We believe that anticipated revenues from operations should be adequate
for the working capital requirements of our existing core businesses over the
next year. In the event that our plans or assumptions change, or if our
resources available to meet unanticipated changes in business conditions prove
to be insufficient to fund operations, we could be required to seek additional
financing prior to that time.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

         In connection with the organization of VSX a third-party investor made
a $3.0 million loan to VSX, which loan is evidenced by a note issued by VSX to
such investor. In connection with our subscription for member interests in VSX,
we issued an option to the third-party investor to acquire shares of our common
stock, which option is exercisable for up to 50,000 shares before May 23, 2004
and 46,153 shares after May 23, 2004. The holder of the option may surrender the
$3.0 million promissory note issued with respect to VSX Holding's loan in full
satisfaction of the exercise price of the option.

         We have entered into a management arrangement with VSX, a Delaware
limited liability company, whereby we provide consulting and development
services to VSX Holdings. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001,
we received payments totaling $71,006, $258,758 and $419,977, respectively, from
VSX for such consulting and development services, which amount is recorded as a
reduction of "Other operating expenses" on our Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

         On May 23, 2000, we subscribed for 10 shares of VSX in exchange for $10
and certain intangible property rights. We currently own approximately 0.5% of
the outstanding shares of VSX Holdings, but have the right to purchase up to an
additional 1,990 (19.9%) shares at a price of $1 per share, upon the occurrence
of certain specified events. Our investment in VSX is accounted for on the cost
method of accounting. VSX is involved in the development of an alternative
trading system to be known as VSX.com, which, upon and subject to organization
and regulatory approval, is intended to serve as a virtual, real-time private
financial market place. In connection with the organization of VSX, a
third-party investor made a $3.0 million loan to VSX, which loan is evidenced by
a debenture issued by VSX Holdings to such investor. The debenture initially was
secured by 85,000 shares of our common stock pledged by certain executive
officers of our company. During January 2004, we purchased 35,500 of such
shares, which remain pledged as collateral. In addition, concurrent with the
issuance of such debenture, we issued an option to the third-party investor to
acquire shares of our common stock, which option has a five-year term. The
investor may elect to foreclose on the pledged collateral or exercise the
option. Pursuant to such option, the holder of the option and the debenture is
entitled to surrender the debenture to us in payment of the exercise price of
the option. During the years ending May 23, 2003, 2004 and 2005, the exercise
price per share of our common stock subject to the option will be $55, $60 and
$65, respectively. Should the investor foreclose on the pledged collateral, the
executive officers would succeed to the option and/or the claim against VSX
Holdings.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

         In January 2004, we entered into agreements with our general counsel
and our associate general counsel to buy out their employment contracts. In
accordance with the agreement employment of the officers will cease during early
2004. The agreement requires the Company to pay, the officers a cash settlement
of $2,708,078, which has been accrued as of December 31, 2003 and is reflected
as a non-recurring charge in the statement of operations for 2003. The
agreements also includes the buy back of 47,025 shares of our stock held by the
officers and we granted 35,500 stock options to the officers with an exercise
price of $10.30 per share

RISK FACTORS

         Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. The
risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our
company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe
are immaterial also may impair our business operations. Our business could be
harmed by any of these risks. If any of the following risks actually occur, our
business, financial condition or results of future operations could be
materially adversely affected. In such case, the price of our common stock could
decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these
risks, you should refer to the other information contained in this report,
including our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

         THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL ACHIEVE FURTHER GROWTH IN ASSETS
OR EARNINGS. Our ability to achieve growth will be dependent upon numerous
factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, our ability
to recruit qualified personnel and our ability to execute our business plan. We
also have completed various acquisitions in the past few years that have
significantly enhanced our rate of growth. We cannot provide you assurances that
we will continue to sustain this rate of growth or grow at all.

         INSIDERS MAY CONTROL OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS AS A RESULT OF THE
CONCENTRATION OF CONTROL OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Our executive officers and
directors beneficially own approximately 24.9% of our outstanding common stock.
As a result, these insiders may be able to control the election of our board of
directors and thus our direction and future operations, and our stockholders may
lack an effective vote with respect to such matters.

         WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION. The banking, trust and
securities industries are heavily regulated under both Federal and state law.
These regulations are primarily intended to protect customers, not our creditors
or stockholders. We and our subsidiaries also are subject to the supervision of
the SEC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, in addition to other
regulatory and self-regulatory organizations. Regulations affecting banks, trust
companies and other financial services companies undergo continuous change, and
the ultimate effect of such changes cannot be predicted. Regulations and laws
may be modified at any time, and new legislation may be enacted that affects us
and our subsidiaries. We cannot assure you that such modifications or new laws
will not adversely affect us or our subsidiaries.

         WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RAPID GROWTH IN NET REVENUE AND EXPANSION OF OUR
OPERATIONS. Rapid growth has placed strain on our management, information
systems, operation and resources. During 2002, we established a $454,000 reserve
for possible losses relating to reconciliation issues, a problem that we believe
stemmed from the recent growth of our mutual fund administration services
operation. We also established a $400,000 reserve related to the estimated costs
to ascertain the extent and nature of such possible losses and to redesign
control procedures and make other system enhancements to ensure such
reconciliation issues do not recur. During 2003, we expended all of the $400,000
reserve. At December 31, 2003, we have estimated the remaining liability of
$161,000 of the $454,000 reserve. The review process is complete. Our ability to
manage any future growth will continue to depend upon the successful expansion
of our sales, marketing, customer support, administrative infrastructure and the
ongoing implementation and improvement of a variety of internal management
systems, procedures and controls. Continued growth also will require us to hire
more personnel, and expand management information systems. Recruiting qualified
personnel is an intensely competitive and time-consuming process. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain the necessary personnel
to accomplish our growth strategies or that we will not experience constraints
that will adversely affect our ability to support satisfactorily our clients and
operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract, manage
and retain additional personnel to support any future growth, if any, or will
not experience significant problems with respect to any infrastructure expansion
or the attempted implementation of systems, procedures and controls. If our
management is unable to manage growth effectively, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

         OUR SUCCESS AND ABILITY TO COMPETE IS DEPENDENT IN PART UPON OUR
TECHNOLOGY. We principally rely upon a combination of copyright, trademark and
trade secret laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary
technology. It may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and
use our products or technology without authorization or to develop similar
technology independently, and there can be no assurance that such measures have
been, or will be, adequate to protect our proprietary technology or that our
competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technology. We propose to operate a portion of our
business over the Internet, which is subject to a variety of risks. Such risks
include, but are not limited to, the substantial uncertainties that exist
regarding the system for assigning domain names and the status of private rules
for resolution of disputes regarding rights to domain names. There can be no
assurance that we will continue to be able to employ our current domain names in
the future or that the loss of rights to one or more domain names will not have
a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

         Although we do not believe that we infringe the proprietary rights of
any third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
such claims against us in the future or that such claims will not be successful.
We could incur substantial costs and diversion of management resources with
respect to the defense of any claims relating to proprietary rights, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. In addition, we may become obligated under certain agreements to
indemnify another party in connection with infringement by us of the proprietary
rights of third parties. In the event we are required to indemnify parties under
these agreements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. In the event a claim relating to
proprietary technology or information is asserted against us, we may seek
licenses to such intellectual property. There can be no assurance, however, that
licenses could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or that
the terms of any offered licenses would be acceptable to us. The failure to
obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         OUR OPERATIONS ARE PARTIALLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR
NETWORK INFASTRUCTURE AGAINST DAMAGE. Events such as fire, earthquakes, severe
flooding, mudslides, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events,
and our failure to construct networks that are not vulnerable to the effects of
these events, could cause additional major interruptions in the services
provided by us.

         In addition, some networks may experience interruptions in service as a
result of the accidental or intentional actions of Internet users, current and
former employees or others. Unauthorized use of our network could jeopardize the
security of confidential information stored in our computer systems, which may
result in liability to our customers or deter potential customers.

         Our failure to adequately manage service disruptions resulting from
physical damage to our network or breaches of the network's integrity, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

         OUR NETWORK IS VULNERABLE TO VARIOUS SECURITIES RISKS. Despite the
implementation of network security measures by us, such as limiting physical and
network access to our routers, our Internet access systems and information
services are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptive
problems caused by our customers or other Internet users. Such problems caused
by third parties could lead to interruption, delays or cessation in service to
our customers. Furthermore, such inappropriate use of the Internet by third
parties also could potentially jeopardize the security of confidential
information stored in the computer systems of our customers and other parties
connected to the Internet, which may deter potential subscribers. Persistent
security problems continue to plague public and private data networks. Recent
break-ins reported in the press and otherwise have reached computers connected
to the Internet at major corporations and Internet access providers and have
involved the theft of information, including incidents in which hackers bypassed
firewalls by posing as trusted computers. Alleviating problems caused by
computer viruses, break-ins or other problems caused by third parties may
require significant expenditures of capital and resources by us, which could
have a material adverse effect on us. Until more comprehensive security
technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and
potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet service industry in
general and our customer base and revenues in particular. Moreover, if we
experience a breach of network security or privacy, there can be no assurance
that our customers will not assert or threaten claims against us based on or
arising out of such breach, or that any such claims will not be upheld, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operation.

         THERE IS INTENSE COMPETITION FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, ADVERTISING
AND SALES OF GOODS AND SERVICES. Competition for products and services,
advertising and electronic commerce is intense. We expect that competition will
continue to intensify. Barriers to entry are minimal. Our competitors may
develop products and services that are superior to, or have greater market
acceptance than, our solutions. If we are unable to compete successfully against
our competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results will be
adversely affected. Many of our competitors have greater brand recognition and
greater financial, marketing and other resources than us. This may place us at a
disadvantage in responding to our competitors' pricing strategies, technological
advances, advertising campaigns, strategic partnerships and other initiatives.
Our principal competitors include mutual funds, investment advisers, brokerage
firms, investment counsel firms and financial institutions such as banks,
savings and loan institutions and credit unions.

         OUR PENDING AND PROPOSED PROJECTS HAVE REQUIRED AND WILL CONTINUE TO
REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENTS IN AND DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH PROJECTS.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate or raise the capital
necessary to fund our projects. The failure to generate or raise such funds may
require us to delay or abandon some of our planned future expansion or
expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on our growth.

                                       -26-

         To expand our markets and take advantage of the consolidation trend in
the financial services industry, our business strategy may include growth
through acquisitions. There can be no assurance that future acquisitions can be
consummated on acceptable terms or that any acquired companies can be
successfully integrated into our operations. In connection with future
acquisitions, we may incur additional indebtedness or may issue additional
equity. Our ability to make future acquisitions may be constrained by our
ability to obtain such additional financing. To the extent we use equity to
finance future acquisitions, there is a risk of dilution to holders of our
common stock.

         In addition, acquisitions may involve a number of special risks,
including: initial reductions in our reported operating results; diversion of
management's attention; and unanticipated problems or legal liabilities. Some or
all of these items could have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no
assurance that businesses acquired in the future will achieve sales and
profitability that justify the investment therein. In addition, to the extent
that consolidation continues in the industry, the prices for attractive
acquisition candidates may increase to unacceptable levels.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
          ---------------------------------------------------------

         The business activities of our company expose it to a variety of risks.
Management of these risks is necessary for the long-term profitability of our
company. We manage these risks through the establishment of numerous policies,
procedures and controls. The most significant risks that affect us are market
risk and credit risk.

         Market risk is the risk of loss to us resulting from changes in
interest rates, equity prices or both. We are exposed to market risk since we,
through our subsidiaries, maintain positions in fixed-income and equity
securities. We primarily manage our risk through the establishment of trading
policies and guidelines and through the implementation of control and review
procedures.

         In connection with our credit risk, we evaluate the collectibility of
our trade and financing receivables based on a combination of factors. We
regularly analyze our customer accounts and, in the event we become aware of a
specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to us (such as
in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the client's financial
position or operating results), we record a reserve for bad debt or loan loss to
reduce the related receivable to an amount we reasonable believe is collectible.
If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the
recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted.

Note 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

         Unified Financial Services, Inc., a Delaware holding company for
         various financial services companies, was organized on December 7,
         1989. We distribute our services platform via the traditional industry
         channels of our subsidiaries and via the Internet. Through our
         subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, we provide services
         primarily in three lines of business: trust and retirement services;
         mutual fund administration services; and investment advisory services.

         Our trust and retirement services operation, which is headquartered in
         Lexington, Kentucky, provides professional financial management to
         individuals and institutions, including private pension plans and
         foundations. Unified Trust Company, National Association, specializes
         in retirement plans and is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller
         of the Currency. Our trust company also provides consulting,
         recordkeeping and trust accounting services for qualified retirement
         and cafeteria plans. Our trust subsidiary is required by the Office of
         the Comptroller of the Currency to maintain minimum capital of $2.0
         million. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, Unified Trust Company,
         National Association had total capital of $2.5 million and $2.2
         million, respectively.

         Our mutual fund administration services operation, which is based in
         Indianapolis, Indiana, provides services such as transfer agency, fund
         accounting, and administrative, regulatory, compliance distributions
         services and start-up services for mutual funds, investment advisors,
         banks and other money managers in their proprietary mutual fund
         efforts. Our brokerage, Unified Financial Securities, Inc.
         "Securities", operation consists of a registered broker-dealer under
         the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is a member of
         the NASD, Inc. As of December 2003, our brokerage operation limited its
         business to mutual fund distributor.

         Our premium finance subsidiary, Commonwealth Premium Finance
         Corporation, provides financing for the payment of premiums on
         insurance coverage placed by an unaffiliated insurance brokerage
         operation and is licensed under applicable governing regulations in the
         States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois and Ohio and also conducts
         business in the states of West Virginia and Indiana, which do not
         require licensing of premium finance companies.

         Our investment advisory services operation, which is based in New York
         City, provides professional financial management to individuals and
         institutions on a customized basis.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------
         Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which
         required the use of estimates made by our management. Actual results
         may vary from those estimates. Our financial statements include the
         accounts of Unified Financial Services, Inc. and our subsidiaries after
         elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions.

         Cash and cash equivalents
         -------------------------
         For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we consider
         all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
         less to be cash equivalents. We maintain money market investments that
         are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and bank
         accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's
         insurance limit during the year.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

         Investments
         -----------
         Investments, which consist primarily of investments in mutual funds
         (affiliated or non-affiliated), are recorded and adjusted to the fair
         market value as of the date of the financial statements and reported on
         the Consolidated Statements of Operations as unrealized gain or loss on
         securities.

         Accounts Receivable
         -------------------
         Accounts receivable are carried at cost less an allowance for doubtful
         accounts. On a periodic basis, accounts receivable are evaluated and an
         allowance for doubtful accounts is established, based on a history of
         past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.
         Concentration of credit risk in accounts receivable is believed to be
         minimal.

         Revenue recognition
         -------------------
         We record all revenue on the accrual basis of accounting. The fees
         earned by the operation and paid to sub-advisers are based on
         established fee schedules and contracts. Generally, fees may be
         collected from the invested assets. Thus, collection of the fees is
         reasonably certain. Revenue is recorded as it is earned each month
         based. Associated fees are generally based on market values of account
         balances.

         Fixed Assets
         ------------
         Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the
         straight-line or accelerated method over the estimated useful life of
         the assets for financial statement purposes. Property and equipment at
         December 31 consist of:

</TABLE>

         Compensation and related benefits attributable to the development of
         computer software for internal use totaling $41,808 in 2003 have been
         capitalized and are being amortized over a three year period.

         Other Non-Current Assets
         ------------------------
         Other non-current assets consist primarily of deposits and the cash
         surrender value of life insurance policies. At December 31, 2003 other
         non-current assets also includes our investment of $43,000 for the
         purchase of Latinvalley Securities, LLC, securities which as of
         December 17, 2003 we have purchased 20% ownership with the remaining
         80% pending in 2004.

         Income Taxes
         ------------
         We file consolidated Federal and state income tax returns with our
         subsidiaries.

         We have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
         No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires use of the
         liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

         Goodwill and other intangibles
         ------------------------------
         Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
         Intangible Assets," at which time goodwill amortization ceased.
         Goodwill was tested for impairment by comparing its implied value to
         its carrying value. Based upon these tests, we have determined that
         goodwill was not impaired. Impairment adjustments recognized after
         adoption, if any, are required to be recognized as operating expense.

         Significant Estimate
         ---------------------
         Specifically, during 2002, we experienced operational issues with
         respect to our mutual fund administrative services affiliate, which
         issues primarily are related to problems associated with our
         reconciliation of various cash accounts. In connection therewith, we
         established an $854,000 reserve, $454,000 of which is related to
         possible reconciliation losses and $400,000 of which is related to
         estimated costs to ascertain the extent and nature of such losses and
         to redesign control procedures and make other system enhancements to
         ensure that such reconciliation issues do not recur. During 2003, we
         expended all of the $400,000 reserve. At December 31, 2003, we have
         estimated a remaining liability of $161,000 of the $454,000 reserve
         mentioned above.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements
         --------------------------------
         During 2003, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 132 (revised
         2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
         Benefits-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87 Employers Accounting
         for Pensions, No.88 Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
         Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plan and for Termination
         Benefits, and No.106 Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
         Other Than Pensions." This statement requires additional disclosures to
         those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash
         flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans
         and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required
         information should be provided separately for pension plans and for
         other postretirement benefit plans.

         During 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain
         Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and
         Equity," which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
         measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
         liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a
         financial instrument that falls within its scope as a liability (or an
         asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial
         instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise
         is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning
         after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material
         impact on our financial statements.

         FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
         Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
         Indebtedness of Others," was issued in late 2002. The Interpretation
         elaborates on existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees,
         including loan guarantees such as financial and performance standby
         letters of credit routinely issued by financial institutions. At the
         time a guarantor issues a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize an
         initial liability for the fair value of the obligations it assumes
         under the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions
         of the Interpretation apply to guarantees issued or modified after
         December 31, 2002, regardless of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The
         adoption of Interpretation No. 45 did not have a material impact on our
         financial statements.

                                                              -

         During January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46
         "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This statement explains
         how to apply the controlling financial interest criterion in ARB51 to
         variable interest entities. Variable interest entities include many
         entities that have been referred to as special-purpose entities as well
         as other entities that are structured in such a way that a) the equity
         investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance
         itself with subordinated financial support in other forms or b) the
         equity investors as a group lack decision-making powers and do not
         absorb losses or receive residual returns. The adoption of
         Interpretation No. 46 did not have a material impact on our financial
         statements.

         In connection with the organization of VSX Holdings, Inc. ("VSX") a
         third-party investor made a $3.0 million loan to VSX, which loan is
         evidenced by a debenture issued by VSX to such investor. In connection
         with our subscription for member interests in VSX, we issued an option
         to the third-party investor to acquire shares of our common stock,
         which option is exercisable for up to 50,000 shares before May 23, 2004
         and 46,153 shares after May 23, 2004. The holder of the option may
         surrender the $3.0 million promissory note issued with respect to VSX's
         loan in full satisfaction of the exercise price of the option (see note
         4 - "Options" and note 15 - "Investment in Affiliate").

         Reclassifications
         -----------------
         Certain amounts in the 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements
         have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation. For segment
         report purposes, Unified Financial Securities (our brokerage
         subsidiary) has been included in mutual fund administration services
         based upon management's decision to exit the clearing, discount and
         full services brokerage operations and concentrate on mutual fund
         distribution. Our premium financing operation has been included in the
         corporate segment due to Unified Banking Company being reflected as a
         discontinued operation based upon our agreement to sell Unified Banking
         Company.

Note 3 - ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND SALES

         Income from discontinued operations reflects Unified Banking Company's
         pretax profit of $80,004 and Equity Insurance Managers of Illinois,
         L.L.C.'s pretax loss of $1,176 and income taxes provision of $30,964
         for the year ended December 31, 2003. For the year-end December 31,
         2002, the results from discontinued operations included Unified Banking
         Company's pre-tax loss of $626,369, Fully Armed Productions, Inc.'s
         pretax profit of $1,174, Equity Insurance Manager of Illinois, L.L.C.'s
         pretax profit of $10,062 and income taxes benefit of $241,624. For the
         year-end December 31, 2001, the results from discontinued operations
         included Unified Banking Company's pretax loss of $810,877, Fully Armed

         Managers pretax profit of $1,415,636 and income taxes provision of
         $285,609.

         Sale of Unified Banking Company
         ------------------------------
         On November 19, 2003, we sold all of the outstanding capital stock of
         Unified Banking Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to
         Blue River Bancshares, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Blue River"). In
         connection with the sale, the Company received $8.2 million in cash in
         exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of Unified Banking
         Company. In connection with such sale, the recorded net book value of
         Unified Banking Company and selling expenses totaled $5,804,887. We
         recorded state and federal income taxes on $842,862, which resulted in
         an after-tax gain of $1,552,251 with respect to the sale for the year
         ended December 31, 2003.

         In connection with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the

         minimum deposit balance, computed quarterly, of $8.5 million. The
         Depository Agreement has a term of three years from November 19, 2003.

         Sale of Insurance Operations
         ----------------------------

         On December 17, 2001, we sold substantially all of the assets and
         assigned substantially all of the liabilities of our insurance
         subsidiaries, Equity Insurance Managers, Inc., Equity Insurance
         Administrators, Inc. and 21st Century Claims Service, Inc., to Arthur
         J. Gallagher & Co.  In connection with the sale, we received an
         $800,000 note, payment of which was to be made only when the insurance
         subsidiary achieved certain performance measurement in 2002, and cash,
         $800,000 of which was deposited in escrow pending possible
         indemnification claims of Arthur J. Gallagher and Co. pursuant to the
         sale agreement.  We recorded a net after tax gain of $2,847,708 on the
         sale of the insurance operations reflecting a pretax profit of
         $4,689,901.  We also recorded

Note 3 - ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND SALES (continued)

         an $800,000 liability related to the escrow. Also, we recorded an
         escrow of $600,000 for two of the principal officers, $240,000 of which
         remains at December 31, 2003 in a restricted cash account. For the year
         ended December 31, 2002, Arthur J. Gallagher achieved the income and
         revenue targets for the acquired business. As a result, the promissory
         note was earned in full and we recorded $800,000 as income related to
         the sale during 2002. During 2002, we also recorded a gain on the sale
         of $280,000 based on our estimate of the anticipated claims settlement.
         Additionally, during 2002 we accrued $52,146 in selling expenses
         related to the sale. During the third quarter 2003, we settled all
         outstanding claims against the escrow for $250,000. For the year ended
         December 31, 2002, we also accrued $390,173 for income taxes related to
         the gain on sale. Based thereupon, we recorded an additional gain on
         the sale of operations of $270,000 in 2003. In addition in 2003, we
         reversed $42,116 in selling expenses accrued for potential
         miscellaneous expenses and professional fees that were not required.

         Disposal of Fully Armed Productions
         -----------------------------------
         Effective May 31, 2002, we disposed of Fully Armed Productions, Inc.,
         which we acquired on June 1, 1999 in exchange for 18,182 shares of our
         common stock. In connection with such disposition, and in exchange for
         all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Fully Armed
         Productions, Inc., we received 18,182 shares of our common stock and
         $37,569 in cash.

Note 4 - OPTIONS

         Under the terms of our stock incentive plan, employees, directors,
         advisers and consultants of our company and its subsidiaries are
         eligible to receive the following: (a) incentive stock options; (b)
         nonqualified stock options; (c) stock appreciation rights; (d)
         restricted stock; (e) restricted stock units; and (f) performance
         awards.

         Options granted under our plan may be nonqualified or incentive stock
         options and typically are granted at a price equal to an annual
         valuation made by independent valuation experts on our common stock.
         Generally, options granted will have a term of ten years from the date
         of the grant, and will vest in increments of 33% per year over a
         three-year period or be 100% vested on the date of grant. Effective as
         of December 31, 2001, in conjunction with the sale of our insurance
         operations, our board of directors extended to December 31, 2006 the
         exercise period of 13,255 options held by employees of our former
         insurance operations, regardless of the date of termination of such
         employees. All other terms of such options, including the vesting
         schedules, were unchanged.

         As of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, options to acquire 83,858,
         107,441 and 89,396 shares, respectively, of our common stock were
         outstanding and issued to certain of our employees, directors and
         advisers pursuant to our stock incentive plan. In addition, as of
         December 31, 2003 and 2002, our board had granted options to acquire
         50,000 and 54,545 shares, respectively, of our common stock outside of
         such plan (see note 15).

</TABLE>


         As of December 31, 2003, 57,433 of such options were intended to
         qualify as incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

         We apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
         Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for stock-based employee
         compensation arrangements whereby compensation costs related to stock
         options generally are not recognized in determining net income. Had we
         computed compensation costs for our stock options pursuant to Financial
         Accounting Standard Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the effect would
         have been immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2003 (based upon
         the Black-Scholes option pricing model).

Note 5 - NON-RECURRING CHARGES, NET

         We have chosen to separately disclose special items because the items
         are non-recurring in nature and the results excluding special items are
         an appropriate measurement of the Company's on-going operating results.
         As part of converting our brokerage operations to solely a mutual fund
         distributor, we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2003, a pretax gain
         of $40,000 from the sale of its discount brokerage operation. In
         addition, as part of our cost reduction initiatives/programs, we
         entered into agreements with our general counsel and our associate
         general counsel to buy out their employment contracts and recorded a
         pretax charge of $2,708,078 in the statement of operations (see note
         17).

Note 8 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         We are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal actions
         arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
         management, after consultation with legal counsel, all such matters are
         without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that
         unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on our
         consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 9 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         We provide a defined contribution retirement plan that covers
         substantially all employees. Our board of directors determines
         contributions to the plan. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002
         and 2001, our board of directors did not make any contributions. The
         plan currently hold 46,966 shares of the Company's common stock, on
         behalf of its participants (see note 17).

         We also maintain a 401(k) plan for the consolidated companies. The plan
         includes a matching for funds contributed by an employee. We match the
         employee's contribution up to fifty percent of the first six percent of
         an employee's pre-tax contribution. For the years ended December 31,
         2003, 2002 and 2001, we contributed $148,445, $159,317 and $165,459,
         respectively, as matching contributions.

Note 10 - PREFERRED STOCK

         As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, our total preferred shares authorized
         was 1,000,000 with a par value of $.01 per share. Of such authorized
         shares, 200,000 shares are designated Series D Convertible Junior
         Participating Preferred Stock. We have reserved all of the shares of
         Series D Preferred Stock for issuance under a Rights Agreement dated
         August 26, 1998 between us and Unified Fund Services, as rights agent.
         Such rights were dividend to our common stockholders on that date.
         Generally, each Preferred Stock purchase right, when exercisable,
         entitles the registered holder to purchase from our company one
         one-hundredth of a share of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of
         $200.00 per one one-hundredth of a share.

Note 11 - INCOME TAXES

         Consolidated net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2003 and
         2002 amounted to approximately $21,656,000 and $22,242,000,
         respectively, expiring from 2004 to 2023. Net deferred income tax
         assets primarily consist of the tax effect of the net operating loss
         carryforwards. A valuation allowance in amounts equal to the carrying
         value of the net deferred income tax asset at December 31, 2003 and
         2002, has been established because of the uncertainty regarding its
         realizability. The components of income tax expense (benefit) from
         continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and
         2001 were as follows:

</TABLE>


         Deferred federal income tax benefits from continuing operations were
         recognized in all periods presented due to the realization of
         offsetting deferred income tax expenses that were recognized on the
         gain on sales of discontinued operations. The difference in the income
         tax benefit, as computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34%
         to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes as
         compared to the income tax benefit recognized, is primarily
         attributable to the tax provision recognized on the discontinued
         operations and current state tax expense recognized.



Note 12 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Note 13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of our financial
         instruments at December 31, 2003 and 2002 approximates fair value.
         Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosures
         About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," defines the fair value of a
         financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be
         exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.

Note 14 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT REPORTING SEGMENTS

         We have four reportable operating segments: trust and retirement
         services; mutual fund administration services; investment advisory
         services; and premium financing. Generally, corporate expenses are not
         allocated to the segment for purposes of segment reporting.

         The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those
         described in the summary of significant accounting policies. We
         evaluate performance based on profit or loss from operations before
         income taxes, not including recurring gains and losses.

         Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
         different products and services. They are managed separately because
         each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
         Most of the businesses were acquired as a unit and the management at
         the time of the acquisition was retained. Reportable segment revenues,
         profit before income taxes, total assets and depreciation were as
         follows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

Note 15 -         INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

         We have entered into a management arrangement with VSX, a Delaware
         limited liability company, whereby we provide consulting and
         development services to VSX Holdings. For the years ended December 31,
         2003, 2002 and 2001, we received payments totaling $71,006, $258,758
         and $419,977, respectively, from VSX for such consulting and
         development services, which amount is recorded as a reduction of "Other
         operating expenses" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations for
         the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Note 15 - INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE (continued)

         On May 23, 2000, we subscribed for 10 shares of VSX in exchange for $10
         and certain intangible property rights. We currently own approximately
         0.5% of the outstanding shares of VSX Holdings, but have the right to
         purchase up to an additional 1,990 (19.9%) shares at a price of $1 per
         share, upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Our investment
         in VSX is accounted for on the cost method of accounting.

         VSX is involved in the development of an alternative trading system to
         be known as VSX.com, which, upon and subject to organization and
         regulatory approval, will serve as a virtual, real-time private
         financial market place. In connection with the organization of VSX, a
         third-party investor made a $3.0 million loan to VSX, which loan is
         evidenced by a debenture issued by VSX Holdings to such investor. The
         debenture initially was secured by 85,000 shares of our common stock
         pledged by certain executive officers of our company. During January
         2004, we purchased 35,500 of such shares, which remain pledged as
         collateral. In addition, concurrent with the issuance of such
         debenture, we issued an option to the third-party investor to acquire
         shares of our common stock, which option has a five-year term. The
         investor may elect to foreclose on the pledged collateral or exercise
         the option. Pursuant to such option, the holder of the option and the
         debenture is entitled to surrender the debenture to us and receive, in
         exchange, shares of the Unified equivalent to the debenture face amount
         divided by the exercise price. During the years ending May 23, 2004 and
         2005, the exercise price per share of our common stock subject to the
         option will be $60 and $65, respectively. Should the investor foreclose
         on the pledged collateral, the executive officers would succeed to the
         option and/or the claim against VSX Holdings.

Note 16 - INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF STOCK

         Income (loss) per share of stock is computed using the number of common
         shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted income (loss)
         per share of stock is computed using the number of common shares
         outstanding and dilutive potential common shares (outstanding stock
         options).

         Dilutive potential common shares included in the diluted income (loss)
         per share calculation were determined using the treasury stock method.
         Under the treasury stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive
         when the average "market price" of our common stock exceeds the option
         price during a period. In addition, proceeds from the assumed exercise
         of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed to
         be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such
         stock during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002
         and 2001, potential common shares of 133,858, 161,986,and -0-,
         respectively, were considered to be anti-dilutive and were excluded
         from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share.

Note 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         In January 2004, we entered into agreements with our general counsel
         and our associate general counsel to buy out their employment
         contracts. In accordance with the agreement employment of the officers
         will cease during early 2004. The agreement requires the Company to
         pay, the officers a cash settlement of $2,708,078 and buy back 47,025
         shares of our stock held by the officers for $484,358. The sum of the
         required payments, $3,192,436, is reflected as a contract settlement
         liability on the statement of financial condition at December 31, 2003.
         In connection with the agreement, we also granted 35,500 stock options
         to the officers with an exercise price of $10.30 per share.

Note 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  (continued)

         As of December 17, 2003 we purchased 20% of Latinvalley Securities,
         LLC. The remaining 80% ownership and amendment to the member agreement
         to provide authority to serve as a mutual fund distributor is pending
         approval of by the NASD. Effective January 14, 2004, the name
         Latinvalley Securities, LLC was changed to Unified Distributors, LLC.

         As of January 26, 2004, Securities entered into a new NASD Membership
         Agreement. Securities is now required to maintain a net capital
         requirement of $5,000 pursuant to SEC rule 5c3-(a)(1)(I) and
         (a)(2)(vi). Pursuant to SEC rule 15c3-(k)(1), the customer protection
         rule, Securities business is now limited to the distribution of mutual
         funds. This rule also stipulates the Broker Dealer will not hold
         customer funds or safe-keep customer securities.

         The board of directors has authorized the buy back of our common stock
         held by the Unified Equity Participation plan. Such shares are held for
         the benefit of employees of our company. During early 2004, the 46,996
         shares in the plan are anticipated to be repurchased. Upon repurchase
         the plan will be terminated.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

</TABLE>

         On September 5, 2003, the Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committee
of our Board of Directors approved the engagement of J.D. Cloud & Co. LLP as our
independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2003. The committee
retained J.D. Cloud & Co. based upon the committee's determination that our
company would benefit from J.D. Cloud & Co.'s relative size, local service and
experience. Additional information with respect to our new auditor as well as
our former auditor is contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated
September 5, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
          -----------------------

         We maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, evaluated,
summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. As of the end of the
period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the company, including the consolidated
subsidiaries required to be included in this report and other reports that we
file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the date of
that evaluation. The conclusions of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer from this evaluation were communicated to the audit,
nominating, and compensation committee of our board of directors. In connection
with this evaluation, there were no breaches of such controls that would require
disclosure to the audit committee or our auditors.
         During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
