United Financial Mortgage Corporation, an Illinois corporation (“Issuer”), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder, to withdraw its Common Stock, no par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (“CHX” or “Exchange”).

The Issuer states in its application that it has met the complied with the requirements of the CHX Article XXVIII, Rule 4, by complying with Exchange's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.

On October 15, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved a resolution to withdraw the Company's Security from listing on the CHX. The Board states that the following reasons factored into its decision to withdraw the Security from listing and registration on the CHX: (i) The Issuer's Security began trading on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex”) on September 9, 2002, and (ii) the Issuer believes that listing on the Amex will provide greater visibility for its Security. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing and registration on the CHX and shall have no effect upon its continued listing and registration on the Amex under section 12(b) of the Act.

Any interested person may, on or before February 3, 2003, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the CHX and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the matter.
