COMMON STOCK
This prospectus covers 2,882,000 shares of the common stock of UCN, Inc., that may be sold from time to time by the persons listed under the caption “Selling Security Holders,” beginning on page 3. The shares were registered under a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2005.

None of the warrants have been exercised. UCN will receive the proceeds from exercise of the warrants, if any are exercised. UCN will not receive any proceeds or benefit from resale of the shares by the selling security holders. Of the 2,882,000 shares registered, to our knowledge 132,000 have been sold by the selling security holders.
Quotations for our common stock are reported on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “UCNN.” On March 28, 2006, the closing bid price for our common stock was $2.50 per share.

The following table sets forth as of March 24, 2006 the name of each of the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock that each selling security holder owns, the number of shares of common stock owned by each selling security holder that may be offered for sale from time to time by this prospectus, and the percent of our outstanding common stock each selling security holder will continue hold assuming the sale of all the common stock offered.
Some of the selling security holders may distribute their shares, from time to time, to their limited and/or general partners and members, who may sell shares pursuant to this prospectus. Each selling security holder may also transfer shares owned by him by gift, and upon any such transfer the donee would have the same right of sale as the selling security holder. Except as described in the notes to the table, none of the selling security holders has had a material relationship with us within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our common stock. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth herein.
We originally registered 2,882,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, on behalf of the selling security holders. Of these shares, 2,332,000 shares were acquired in private
3
placements in November and December 2005, and 550,000 shares are issuable at a price of $2.00 per share upon exercise of warrants issued in the same private placements. Of the warrants, 312,500 expire November 14, 2010, and 237,500 expire December 22, 2010. Since the date we registered the shares in January 2006, to our knowledge 132,000 shares have been sold and none of the warrants have been exercised.
The registration agreement we made with the purchase agreement used in connection with the private placements provides that we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement we filed for the selling security holders continuously effective. In the event the registration statement ceases to be effective or we suspend the use of the prospectus for one or more periods that total 20 trading days, then we may be required to pay a fee to the selling security holders equal to one percent of the total purchase price of the shares purchased in the private placement on the day we exceed the 20-day maximum plus two percent of that amount per month for each subsequent 30 day period that the registration statement is not effective or use of the prospectus is suspended.

The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Investors; |
| • | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| • | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| • | privately negotiated transactions; |
| • | to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission; |
| • | broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
5
| • | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| • | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling security holders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.
Upon UCN being notified in writing by a selling security holder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling security holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon UCN being notified in writing by a selling security holder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling security holders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling security holder and/or the purchasers. Each selling security holder has represented and warranted to UCN that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling security holder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling security holder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
UCN has advised each selling security holder that it may not use shares registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to cover short sales of common stock made prior
6
to the date on which the registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. If a selling security holder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. The selling security holders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling security holders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this prospectus.
UCN is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but it will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock. UCN has agreed to indemnify the selling security holders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
UCN’s charter authorizes it to issue up to: (i) 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share; and (ii) 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 23,131,331 shares of common stock outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. In addition, there are outstanding options and warrants to acquire up to an additional 4,198,166 shares of common stock.
Common stock
Holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. There are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The shares of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared and paid by the board of directors out of funds legally available there for and to share, ratably, in the net assets, if any, of UCN upon liquidation. The stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase any shares of our capital stock.
Preferred stock
The board of directors, without further action by the holders of the common stock, is authorized to classify any shares of our authorized but unissued preferred stock as preferred stock in one or more series. With respect to each series, the board of directors may determine:
| • | The number of shares which shall constitute such series; |
| • | The rate of dividend, if any, payable on shares of such series; |
| • | Whether the shares of such series shall be cumulative, non-cumulative or partially cumulative as to dividends, and the dates from which any cumulative dividends are to accumulate; |
| • | Whether the shares of such series may be redeemed, and, if so, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions on which shares of such series may be redeemed; |
| • | The amount payable upon shares of such series in the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of UCN; |
| • | The sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption of shares of such series; |
7
| • | The voting rights, if any, of the shares of such series; |
| • | The terms and conditions, if any, on which shares of such series may be converted into shares of capital stock of UCN of any other class or series; |
| • | Whether the shares of such series are to be preferred over shares of capital stock of UCN of any other class or series as to dividends, or upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the affairs of UCN, or otherwise; and |
| • | Any other characteristics, preferences, limitations, rights, privileges, immunities or terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the Charter. |
The availability of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of discouraging takeover proposals, and the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of UCN not approved by the board of directors.
Statutory business combinations provision
UCN is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 provides, with certain exceptions, that a Delaware corporation may not engage in any of a broad range of business combinations with a person or an affiliate, or associate of such person, who is an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years from the date that such person becomes an interested stockholder unless: (i) the transaction resulting in a person becoming an interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquired 85 percent or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that makes such person an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are both officers and directors of the corporation, and shares held by certain employee stock ownership plans); or (iii) on or after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved at an annual or special meeting by the corporation’s board of directors and by the holders of at least 66 2/3 percent of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Under Section 203, an “interested stockholder” is defined as any person who is: (i) the owner of 15 percent or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and who was the owner of 15 percent or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder.
A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, through action of its stockholders, to exempt itself from coverage, provided that such bylaw or certificate of incorporation amendment shall not become effective until 12 months after the date it is adopted. UCN has not adopted such an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
Limitation on directors’ liabilities
Pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and under Delaware law, directors and executive officers are not liable to UCN or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except liability in connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, dividend payments or stock
8
repurchases illegal under Delaware law, or any transaction in which a director has derived an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which these persons may be involved because of their offices with us if they acted in good faith or in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. However, nothing in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee, or agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. To the extent that a director or officer has been successful in defense of any proceeding, our bylaws provide that he shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.
Transfer agent
The transfer agent for the common stock is Atlas Stock Transfer Company, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of UCN the board of directors has the authority to indemnify officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Further, UCN has separate indemnification agreements with certain of its officers and directors. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, or to the extent any of the selling security holders are entitled to indemnification under their agreements with us, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Certain legal matters relating to the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for UCN by Parsons Behle & Latimer, Salt Lake City, Utah.
The financial statements and related financial statement schedule for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, incorporated in this registration statement by reference from UCN’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference, and have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
