On July 6, 2005, United Financial Mortgage Corp., an Illinois corporation ("Issuer"), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act")1and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,2to withdraw its common stock, no par value ("Security"), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC ("Amex").

On May 2, 2005, the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Issuer approved resolutions to withdraw the Security from listing and registration on Amex and to list the Security on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq"). The Issuer stated that the Board believes trading the Security on Nasdaq will provide a variety of advantages over Amex, including, but not limited to: (i) Improved liquidity in the Security; (ii) an increase in the Issuer's visibility and faster trade execution time; and (iii) better execution quality for investors in the Security. The Issuer stated that the Board believes it is in the best interest of the Issuer and its stockholders to change the listing of the Security to Nasdaq.
The Issuer stated that it has met the requirements of Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration by complying with all the applicable laws in effect in Illinois, in which it is incorporated. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on Amex and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Act,3and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.4
