SCHEDULE 13D

(Amendment No. 14)

relating to the

Common Stock, $.10 par value

of

United Capital Corp.

This Amendment No. 14 amends the Schedule 13D dated January 20, 1994 (the “Schedule 13D”), originally filed by A.F. Petrocelli (“Mr. Petrocelli”) and his wife, Beverly Petrocelli (“Mrs. Petrocelli”), as amended by Amendment No. 13 to Schedule 13D dated July 11, 2008 to include Michael J. Weinbaum, Melissa Weinbaum, Michael T. Lamoretti, Jill Lamoretti and Anthony J. Miceli as reporting persons (together with Mr. Petrocelli and Mrs. Petrocelli, the “Reporting Persons”).  This Amendment No. 14 reflects the withdrawal of an offer by Mr. Petrocelli to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and the dissolution of a group consisting of all of the Reporting Persons. Mr. Petrocelli and Mrs. Petrocelli shall continue to file as a group. The items specified below are hereby amended and supplemented as specified herein.

ITEM 4.
PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On July 23, 2008, Mr. Petrocelli advised the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, formed for the purpose of evaluating an acquisition proposal from him, that he was withdrawing his offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for $23.00 per share. A copy of the letter of withdrawal, dated July 23, 2008, is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
As of July 23, 2008, the Reporting Persons are no longer a group for the purposes of beneficial ownership in the Issuer and reporting under Schedule 13D. Accordingly, the group that consisted of Mr. Petrocelli, Mrs. Petrocelli, Michael J. Weinbaum, Melissa Weinbaum, Michael T. Lamoretti, Jill Lamoretti and Anthony J. Miceli is now dissolved.
 
9

CUSIP NO. 909912 10 7
 
Mr. Petrocelli and Mrs. Petrocelli will continue to be a group, of which they are the only members, for the purposes of their beneficial ownership of the Issuer and reporting under Schedule 13D.
 
Michael J. Weinbaum, Melissa Weinbaum, Michael T. Lamoretti, Jill Lamoretti and Anthony J. Miceli each disclaim membership of any group.

ITEM 7.
