FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In addition, United Security Bancshares, Inc. (“USBI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), through its senior management, from time to time makes forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning its expected future operations and performance and other developments. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe” and similar expressions are indicative of forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the Company’s best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and various factors could cause results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Such factors could include those identified from time to time in USBI’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements, including the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of USBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Specifically, with respect to statements relating to loan demand, growth and earnings potential and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for the Company, these factors include, but are not limited to, the rate of growth (or lack thereof) in the economy, the relative strength and weakness in the consumer and commercial credit sectors and in the real estate markets and collateral values. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the dates on which the forward-looking statements are made, except as required by law.

UNITED SECURITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Security Bancshares, Inc. (“USBI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). USBI is the parent holding company of First United Security Bank (the “Bank” or “FUSB”). The Bank operates a finance company, Acceptance Loan Company, Inc. (“ALC”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in USBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in USBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management evaluated subsequent events through the date on which the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that have financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The requirements amend the disclosure requirements on offsetting in Section 210-20-50. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this ASU. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance, which involves disclosure only, did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. NET INCOME

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Diluted net income per share for each of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is computed based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive instruments outstanding. There were no outstanding potentially dilutive instruments during the three- and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 or 2012, and, therefore, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were the same.

Table of Contents

The following table represents the basic and diluted net income per share calculations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands of dollars, except per share data):

   $ 1,371         6,017,732       $ 0.23   

For the Six Months Ended:

June 30, 2012

   $ 133         6,017,410       $ 0.02   

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income consists of net income and the change in the unrealized gains or losses on the Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio arising during the period. In the calculation of comprehensive income, certain reclassification adjustments would be made for any sale of investment securities to avoid double counting items that are displayed as part of net income for a period that also had been displayed as part of other comprehensive income in that period or earlier periods.

5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the consolidated statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are detailed below. Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques. The use of discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following disclosures should not be considered a surrogate of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather represent a good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination or issuance.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

   

Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes equity securities in banks that are publicly traded. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 — Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker-traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value and recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include exchange traded equities. Level 2 securities include U.S. treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. Level 2 fair values are obtained from quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. In certain cases, where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Impaired Loans

Estimates of fair value are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Bank’s management related to values of properties in the Bank’s market areas. Management takes into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property, as well as current economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, fair value estimates for impaired loans are classified as Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets

Estimates of fair values are determined based on a variety of information, including the use of available appraisals, estimates of market value by licensed appraisers or local real estate brokers and the knowledge and experience of the Bank’s senior lending officers related to values of properties in the Bank’s market areas. These officers take into consideration the type, location and occupancy of the property, as well as current economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, in assessing estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates for foreclosed real estate are classified as Level 3.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are summarized below.

Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

The Company rarely transfers assets and liabilities measured at fair value between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. There were no such transfers during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012. Trading account assets and securities available-for-sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the best method of pricing for an individual security. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occurred at the beginning of a reporting period.

The Company is required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including impaired loans. Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. When an impaired loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the fair value is determined through the utilization of a third-party appraisal. It is the policy of the Company to update appraisals every 18-24 months. The types of collateral influence the frequency of obtaining updated appraisals. Management knows the market trends of collateral values well and monitors trends in sales and valuations in all of the various categories of collateral. These trends influence how often new appraisals are obtained within the 18-24 month timeframe. For example, a significant number of currently impaired loans are collateralized by residential subdivision lots. The values of this type of collateral have been volatile in recent years, and, therefore, appraisals are generally updated at the lower end of the timeframe (i.e., closer to 18 months), while timberland appraisals would be updated closer to the upper end of the timeframe (i.e., closer to 24 months), as these values have remained more stable. Any observed trend indicating reduced valuations would require updated appraisals. Based on experience, current appraisals are discounted 9% for estimated costs associated with foreclosures and costs to sell. If a loan is evaluated for impairment under ASC Topic 310-10-35, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and the appraisal is outdated, a new appraisal is ordered. If the new appraisal is not received in sufficient time to assess any required impairment to meet financial reporting obligations, the old appraisal may be discounted to reflect values observed in similar properties. These discounts have ranged from 20% to 30% and are based on the most recent valuation/appraisal information available related to that particular type of loan/collateral. After the new appraisal is obtained, the analysis is updated to reflect the new valuation. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan is confirmed. Loans, net of specific allowances, subject to this evaluation amounted to $18,041,521 and $14,956,079 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. This valuation would be considered Level 3, consisting of appraisals of underlying collateral and discounted cash flow analysis.

During 2013, certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, were measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value of a foreclosed asset, upon initial recognition, is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. Foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial recognition

totaled $1,936,664 and $2,097,440 (utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs) as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In connection with the measurement and initial recognition of the foregoing foreclosed assets, the Company has recognized charge-offs of the allowance for possible loan losses totaling approximately $375,667 and $407,043 during the periods ended June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Foreclosed assets totaling $1,338,363 and $9,270,443 (utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs) were remeasured at fair value at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, resulting in impairment loss of $361,775 and $3,582,596 on other real estate owned during the periods ended June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The following table presents detailed information regarding assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013. The table includes the valuation techniques and the significant unobservable inputs utilized. The range of each unobservable input, as well as the weighted average within the range utilized at June 30, 2013, are both included. Following the table is a description of the valuation technique and the sensitivity of the technique to changes in the significant unobservable input.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs:

Impaired loans

Impaired loans are valued based on multiple data points indicating the fair value for each loan. The primary data point for non-performing loans is the appraisal value of the underlying collateral to which a discount is applied. Management establishes this discount or comparability adjustment based on recent sales of similar property types. As liquidity in the market increases or decreases, the comparability adjustment and the resulting asset valuation are impacted.

Foreclosed property and other real estate

Foreclosed property and other real estate under contract for sale are valued based on contract price. If no sales contract is pending for a specific property, management establishes a comparability adjustment to the appraised value based on historical activity considering proceeds for properties sold versus the corresponding appraised value. Increases or decreases in realization for properties sold impact the comparability adjustment for similar assets remaining on the balance sheet.

Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash, due from banks and federal funds sold: The carrying amount of cash, due from banks and federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”): Based on the redemption provision of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

 

13


Table of Contents

Securities: Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on market prices of comparable instruments.

Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Loans, net: For variable-rate loans, fair values are based on carrying values. Fixed-rate commercial loans, other installment loans and certain real estate mortgage loans are valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rate used to determine the present value of these loans is based on interest rates currently being charged by the Company on comparable loans as to credit risk and term.

Demand and savings deposits: The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying value of such deposits. Demand deposits include non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market demand accounts.

Time deposits: The fair values of relatively short-term time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Discounted cash flows are used to value long-term time deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term.

Short-term borrowings: These borrowings may consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the floating rate borrowings from the FHLB account. Due to the short-term nature of these borrowings, fair values approximate carrying values.

Long-term debt: The fair value of this debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Off-balance sheet instruments: The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the off-balance sheet financial instruments is based on fees currently charged to enter into such agreements.

The estimated fair value and related carrying or notional amounts, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the weighted-average contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities generally mature earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities because of principal prepayments.

The following table reflects the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment no less frequently than quarterly and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) whether the Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on the aforementioned considerations, management did not record an other-than-temporary impairment on any security that was in an unrealized loss position.

As of June 30, 2013, two debt securities had been in a loss position for more than twelve months, and twenty-eight debt securities had been in a loss position for less than twelve months. The losses for all securities are considered to be a direct result of the effect that the current interest rate environment has on the value of debt securities and not related to the creditworthiness of the issuers. Further, the Company has the current intent and ability to retain its investments in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Therefore, the Company has not recognized any other-than-temporary impairments.

Investment securities available-for-sale with a carrying value of $64.9 million and $61.6 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

There were no gross gains and losses realized on sales of securities available-for-sale during the periods ended June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012, respectively.

7. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

The Company has limited partnership investments in affordable housing projects for which it provides funding as a limited partner and receives tax credits related to its investments in the projects based on its partnership share. The Company has invested in limited partnerships of affordable housing projects, both as direct investments and investments in funds that invest solely in affordable housing projects. The Company has determined that these structures require valuation as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under ASC Topic 810, Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. The Company consolidates one of the funds in which it has a 99.9% limited partnership interest. The resulting financial impact to the Company of the consolidation was a net increase to total assets of approximately $69,845 as of June 30, 2013. The remaining limited partnership investments are unconsolidated and are accounted for under the cost method as allowed under ASC Topic 325, Accounting for Tax Benefits Resulting from Investments in Affordable Housing Projects. The Company amortizes the excess of carrying value of the investment over its estimated residual value during the period in which tax credits are allocated to the investors. The Company’s maximum exposure to future loss related to these limited partnerships is limited to the $836,163 recorded investment.

The assets and liabilities of these partnerships consist primarily of apartment complexes and related mortgages. The Company’s carrying value approximates cost or its underlying equity in the net assets of the partnerships. Market quotations are not available for any of the aforementioned partnerships. Management has no knowledge of intervening events since the date of the partnerships’ financial statements that would have had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company had no remaining cash commitments to these partnerships at June 30, 2013.

The Company grants commercial, real estate and installment loans to its customers. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, 70.3% and 70.9% of the portfolio was concentrated in loans secured by real estate located primarily within a single geographic region of the United States as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Portfolio Segments

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into eight portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing the risk described as follows:

Construction, land development and other land loans – Commercial construction, land and land development loans include the development of residential housing projects, loans for the development of commercial and industrial use property and loans for the purchase and improvement of raw land. These loans are secured in whole or in part by the underlying real estate collateral and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower.

Secured by 1–4 family residential properties – These loans include conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential properties. These properties may serve as the borrower’s primary residence, vacation home or investment property. Also included in this portfolio are home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home.

Secured by multi-family residential properties – These are mortgage loans secured by apartment buildings.

Secured by non-farm, non-residential properties – Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by commercial and industrial properties, office or mixed-use facilities, strip shopping centers or other commercial property. These loans are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower.

Other real estate loans – Other real estate loans are loans primarily for agricultural production, secured by mortgages on farm land.

Commercial and industrial loans – Includes loans to commercial customers for use in normal business to finance working projects. These credits may be loans and lines of credit to financially strong borrowers, secured by inventories, equipment or receivables, and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower.

Consumer loans – Includes a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including automobile loans, loans for household and personal purposes and all other direct consumer installment loans.

Other loans – Other loans comprise overdrawn checking accounts reclassified to loans and overdraft lines of credit.

Related Party Loans

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers and directors of USBI, the Bank and ALC, including companies with which they are associated. These loans are made on the same terms as those prevailing for comparable transactions with others. Such loans do not represent more than normal risk of collectibility, nor do they present other unfavorable features. The amounts of such related party loans and commitments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $3,743,077 and $2,468,563, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, new loans to these parties totaled $1,509,242, and repayments by active related parties were $235,807. During the year ended December 31, 2012, new loans to these parties totaled $310,265, and repayments by active related parties were $747,536.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank has established a credit risk rating system to assess and manage the risk in the loan portfolio. It establishes a uniform framework and common language for assessing and monitoring risk in the portfolio.

The following is a guide for an 8-grade system of credit risk:

 

  1. Minimal Risk: Borrowers in this category have the lowest risk of any resulting loss. Borrowers are of the highest quality, presently and prospectively.

 

  2. Better Than Average Risk: Borrowers in the high end of medium range between borrowers who are definitely sound and those with minor risk characteristics.

 

  3. Moderate Risk: Borrowers in this category have little chance of resulting in a loss. This category should include the average loan, under average economic conditions.

 

  4. Acceptable Risk: Borrowers in this category have a limited chance of resulting in a loss.

 

  5. Special Mention (Potential Weakness): Borrowers in this category exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving Bank management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Included in special mention assets could be workout or turnaround situations, as well as those borrowers previously rated 2-4 who have shown deterioration, for whatever reason, indicating a downgrading from the better grade. The special mention rating is designed to identify a specific level of risk and concern about a loan’s and/or borrower’s quality. Although a special mention asset has a higher probability of default than previously rated categories, its default is not imminent.

 

  6. Substandard (Definite Weakness – Loss Unlikely): These are borrowers with defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy, although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard.

  7. Doubtful: Borrowers classified doubtful have all the weaknesses found in substandard borrowers with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the assets, the loans’ classification as estimated losses is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. Management of borrowers classified doubtful may have demonstrated a history of failing to live up to agreements, unethical or dishonest business practices and/or conviction on criminal charges.

 

  8. Loss: Borrowers deemed incapable of repayment of unsecured debt. Loans to such borrowers are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as active assets of the Bank is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these worthless assets, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $14,847,248 and $23,618,330 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $380,877 and $1,058,377 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Interest income actually recorded on those loans amounted to $20,626 and $157,601 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more amounted to $1,673,624 and $1,570,548 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loans are considered restructured loans if concessions have been granted to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. The concessions granted generally involve the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment schedule or interest rate, which generally would not otherwise be considered. Restructured loans can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Nonaccrual restructured loans are included and treated with all other nonaccrual loans. In addition, all accruing restructured loans are reported as troubled debt restructurings. Generally, restructured loans remain on nonaccrual until the customer has attained a sustained period of repayment performance under the modified loan terms (generally a minimum of six months). However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and whether the loan should be returned to or maintained on nonaccrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan remains on nonaccrual status. Based on the above, the Company had $8,332,305 and $12,397,049 of non-accruing loans that were restructured and remained on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The following table provides the number of loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring by loan portfolio as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as well as the recorded investment and unpaid principal balance as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

All loans $500,000 and over, modified in a troubled debt restructuring and rated substandard or lower, are evaluated for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of restructured loans, including those that have experienced a subsequent payment default, is considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. This evaluation resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $1,291,911 and $6,322,593 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

9. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

Valuation adjustments are primarily recorded in other non-interest expense; adjustments are also recorded as a charge to the allowance for loan losses if incurred within 60 days after the date of transfer from loans. Valuation adjustments are primarily post-foreclosure write-downs that are a result of declining property values based on updated appraisals or other indications of value, such as offers to purchase.

10. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Federal funds purchased generally mature within one to four days. There were no such amounts outstanding at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, generally are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Company monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis. Securities sold under repurchase agreements at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $455,943 and $638,000, respectively.

At June 30, 2013, the Bank had $17.8 million in available federal fund lines from correspondent banks.

11. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company uses FHLB advances as an alternative to funding sources with similar maturities, such as certificates of deposit or other deposit programs. These advances generally offer more attractive rates when compared to other mid-term financing options. They are also flexible, allowing the Company to quickly obtain the necessary maturities and rates that best suit its overall asset/liability strategy. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no advances were outstanding, and no assets were pledged.

At June 30, 2013, the Bank had $166.7 million in available credit from the FHLB.

12. INCOME TAXES

The Company files a consolidated income tax return with the federal government and the state of Alabama. ALC files a Mississippi state income tax return related to operations from its Mississippi branches. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service and the states in which it files for the years ended December 31, 2009 through 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits related to federal or state income tax matters and does not anticipate any material increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits relative to any tax positions taken prior to June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had accrued no interest and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The consolidated tax expense (benefit) differed from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 34.0%, as described in the following table:

The Company’s determination of the realization of the net deferred tax asset is based on its assessment of all available positive and negative evidence. The Company is currently in a three-year cumulative loss position, which represents negative evidence. As of June 30, 2013, of the $7.5 million net deferred tax asset, $4.4 million relates to the provision for loan losses, $1.8 million relates to impairment of other real estate owned (“OREO”) and $1.6 million resulted from deferred compensation. As of December 31, 2012, of the $9.5 million net deferred tax asset, $7.3 million relates to the provision for loan losses, $2.3 million relates to impairment of OREO and $1.5 million resulted from deferred compensation.

At June 30, 2013, positive evidence supporting the realization of the deferred tax asset included a strong earnings history, exclusive of loan loss provisions and other real estate write-downs, which created the most significant portion of the deferred asset. The majority of these provisions and write-downs resulted from one type of loan – real estate development. The Company believes that impaired loans of this type have been identified and adequately reserved. Management has projected taxable income over the next five years, resulting from reduced provisions for loan losses and write-downs of OREO. Except in unusual circumstances, the Company no longer invests in these types of loans.

Along with the taxable income in 2012 and the first and second quarters of 2013, the Company has projected future taxable income over the next five tax years, although there can be no assurance that such income will be realized due

to unanticipated changes in economic, competitive and other factors. Further positive evidence includes the Company’s strong capital position and history of significant pre-tax earnings, which the Company believes outweighs the negative evidence of recent pre-tax losses. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has not been established at June 30, 2013.

13. SEGMENT REPORTING

Under ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, certain information is disclosed for the two reportable operating segments of the Company. The reportable segments were determined using the internal management reporting system. These segments are composed of USBI’s significant subsidiaries. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in USBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012. The segment results include certain overhead allocations and intercompany transactions that were recorded at current market prices. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated to determine the consolidated balances. The results for the two reportable segments of the Company are included in the following table:

14. GUARANTEES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For interest rate swap transactions and commitments to purchase or sell securities for forward delivery, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. The Bank controls the credit risk of these derivative instruments through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Certain derivative contracts have credit risk for the carrying value plus the amount to replace such contracts in the event of counterparty default. All of the Bank’s financial instruments are held for risk management and not for trading purposes. During the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no credit losses associated with derivative contracts.

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and others, that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. A summary of these commitments and contingent liabilities is presented below:

 

     June 30,
2013
     December 31,
2012
 
     (Dollars in Thousands)  

Standby Letters of Credit

   $ 1,022       $ 1,092   

Commitments to Extend Credit

   $ 29,482       $ 32,123   

Standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Bank generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Bank has recourse against the customer for any amount that it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit. Revenues are recognized over the lives of the standby letters of credit. The potential amount of future payments that the Bank could be required to make under its standby letters of credit at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.0 million, representing the Bank’s total credit risk.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Commitments to purchase securities for delayed delivery require the Bank to purchase a specified security at a specified price for delivery on a specified date. Similarly, commitments to sell securities for delayed delivery require the Bank to sell a specified security at a specified price for delivery on a specified date. Market risk arises from potential movements in security values and interest rates between the commitment and delivery dates. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding commitments to purchase and sell securities for delayed delivery.

Litigation

On September 27, 2007, Malcomb Graves Automotive, LLC (“Graves Automotive”), Malcomb Graves and Tina Graves filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Alabama against USBI, the Bank, ALC and their respective directors and officers seeking an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. A former employee of ALC, Corey Mitchell, was named as a co-defendant, and ALC and the Bank filed a crossclaim against him seeking, among other relief, defense and indemnification for any damages suffered in the underlying lawsuit. The underlying complaint alleged that the defendants committed fraud in misrepresenting to Graves Automotive the amounts that Graves Automotive owed on certain loans and failing to credit Graves Automotive properly for certain loans. The defendants moved to compel arbitration, and the trial court denied the defendants’ motion. The defendants appealed this decision, and, on September 29, 2010, the Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s denial of defendants’ motion. Following the return of the case to the active docket, on November 30, 2010, ALC and the Bank moved to dismiss the lawsuit. In response to this motion to dismiss, on June 15, 2011, the Circuit Court dismissed all claims against USBI, the Bank and their respective directors and officers and all claims that were brought by Malcomb Graves and Tina Graves in their individual capacities. The Circuit Court also dismissed Graves Automotive’s claims for conversion and negligent supervision against ALC and ordered Graves

Automotive to re-plead its fraud allegations against ALC with more particularity. On September 15, 2011, Graves Automotive filed a third amended complaint in response to the Circuit Court’s June 15, 2011 order. In its third amended complaint, Graves Automotive asserted claims against ALC for breach of contract, fraud, unjust enrichment and conversion. ALC moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on many of the same grounds as set forth in its previous motion to dismiss. On October 13, 2011, the Circuit Court dismissed Graves Automotive’s conversion claim and again ordered Graves Automotive to re-plead its fraud claims with more particularity, this time within 60 days. On December 12, 2011, Graves Automotive filed its fourth amended complaint, this time asserting only two counts, breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Despite removing the fraud claims, the fourth amended complaint still requests punitive damages. On January 11, 2012, ALC filed a motion to dismiss the fourth amended complaint and to strike Graves Automotive’s request for punitive damages. This motion was heard on November 27, 2012, and the Circuit Court struck the punitive damages claim but allowed the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims to go forward. Because the case has been at a virtual standstill since the November 27, 2012 hearing, ALC recently requested a status conference with the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court granted this request and set the case for a status conference on September 24, 2013. ALC also recently made a nominal settlement offer to avoid the costs associated with additional litigation. ALC has yet to receive a response to this offer. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter remains unknown, ALC continues to deny the allegations against it in the underlying lawsuit with respect to the remaining claims and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

On February 17, 2011, Wayne Allen Russell, Jr. (“Russell”) filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Tuscaloosa County, Alabama against the Bank and Bill Morgan, who served as the Bank’s Business Development Officer. The allegations in the lawsuit relate to a mortgage on a parcel of real estate, executed by Russell in favor of the Bank as security for a loan, and certain related transactions, including foreclosure proceedings executed by the Bank. Additionally, on June 17, 2011, Mr. Russell’s wife, Rebecca Russell, in response to a lawsuit filed against Mrs. Russell by the Bank, filed a counterclaim against the Bank seeking compensatory and punitive damages, asserting that she was induced to mortgage a rental dwelling owned by her, the proceeds of which were paid upon certain obligations owed to the Bank by her husband, and that the Bank had orally agreed to refinance her loan as a part of an alleged refinancing promise by the Bank with respect to the obligations of Mr. Russell. On October 29, 2012, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Bank and Mr. Morgan with respect to all claims asserted in the consolidated lawsuits, and a subsequent motion to alter, amend or vacate filed by Mr. and Mrs. Russell was denied by operation of law. On March 25, 2013, Mr. and Mrs. Russell filed a Notice of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Alabama. Although the ultimate outcome of this matter remains unknown, the Bank believes that it should prevail on appeal, that the granting of summary judgment by the lower court will be upheld and that any contrary result would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

On or about June 1, 2012, a former employee filed a complaint against the Bank with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) alleging violations of Section 806 of the Corporate and Criminal Fraud Accountability Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1514A (“Section 806”), and Section 1057 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5567, in connection with his separation from the Bank in April 2012. Based on its investigation, OSHA concluded it had no reasonable cause to believe the statutes were violated. As was his right, however, the former employee timely requested a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) and filed an amended complaint in that forum. The Bank filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint (in lieu of an answer), and the motion has been granted as to all claims other than the claim alleging a violation of Section 806. The ALJ has suspended all discovery and is allowing the former employee to pursue, by subpoena to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Alabama State Banking Department, the confidential supervisory information, if any, that relates to the Section 806 claim. This discovery from third-party agencies will run its course before other discovery by the parties is resumed. Although the Bank believes that the remaining Section 806 claim is wholly without merit and that it will be able to demonstrate several meritorious defenses, it is too early to assess the likelihood of a resolution of this matter or the possibility of an unfavorable outcome.

USBI and its subsidiaries also are parties to other litigation, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in all such litigation. In the opinion of the Company, based on review and consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such other litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and consolidated financial information are presented to aid in an understanding of the current consolidated financial position, changes in financial position and results of operations of United Security Bancshares, Inc. (“USBI”). USBI is the parent holding company of First United Security Bank (the “Bank” or “FUSB”). The Bank operates a finance company, Acceptance Loan Company, Inc. (“ALC”). USBI has no operations of any consequence other than the ownership of its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

The accounting principles and reporting policies of USBI and its subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”), and the methods of applying these principles, conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and general practices within the financial services industry. Critical accounting policies relate to securities, loans, allowance for loan losses, derivatives and hedging. A description of these estimates, which significantly affect the determination of consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, is set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in USBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2013 to year-end 2012, while comparing income and expense for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are based on the accrual basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis, unless otherwise indicated.

This information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in USBI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

COMPARING THE THREE- AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 TO THE THREE- AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

Net income for the Company in the second quarter of 2013 was $1.2 million, compared to net income for the Company of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2012, resulting in a decrease of basic net income per share from $0.23 per share during the second quarter of 2012 to $0.20 per share in the same quarter of 2013.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Bank had net income of $548,000, compared to net income of $868,000 for the same quarter of 2012. The decline in income for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter of 2012 was primarily the result of a $1.2 million decline in interest income, offset somewhat by a $442,000 decrease in interest expense. The decline in interest income resulted from an overall decrease in the average volume and yield on loans. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Bank had net income of $1.4 million, compared to net loss of $528,000 for the same period in 2012. For the six-month period, the increase in net income for the Bank resulted primarily from lower impairment charges on other real estate owned (“OREO”) and lower provisions for loan losses.

Net income for ALC for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $663,000, compared to $496,000 for the same quarter of 2012. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, net income for ALC was $786,000, compared to $682,000 for the same period in 2012. Improvement in both periods for ALC resulted from lower provisions for loan losses.

Interest income for the Company in the 2013 second quarter decreased $1.3 million, or 13.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, interest income decreased $2.7 million, or 13.8%, compared with the same period in 2012. The decrease in interest income during these periods was primarily due to a decrease in interest earned on loans resulting from an overall decrease in the average volume of loans and the decrease in the average yield on loans and investment securities. Interest income at the Bank for the 2013 second quarter decreased $1.1 million, or 20.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, interest income decreased $2.2 million, or 20.7%, compared with the same period of 2012. Interest income at ALC for the second quarter of 2013 decreased $286,000, or 6.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, interest income at ALC decreased $535,000, or 5.8%, compared with the same period of 2012. The decreases in interest income at the Bank and ALC were due to an overall decrease in the average volume of loans and a decrease in yield on loans. Interest income on investment securities decreased due to the decrease in the average yield of investment securities. Loan demand continues to be weak due to continuing challenging economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

Interest expense for the Company in the 2013 second quarter decreased $440,000, or 37.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2012. Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 42.1%, to $1.5 million for the first six months of 2013, compared to $2.6 million for the first six months of 2012. These decreases resulted from decreased volume of certificates of deposit, as well as lower interest rates paid on certificates of deposit. As longer term certificates of deposit mature, they reprice at lower rates, as rates on deposits remain at record historical lows.

Net interest income for the Company decreased $876,000, or 10.2%, for the second quarter of 2013, and decreased $1.6 million, or 9.5%, for the first six months of 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. The net interest margin declined from 6.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 6.02% for the six months ended June

Table of Contents

30, 2013, and from 6.16% for the second quarter of 2012 to 5.97% for the second quarter of 2013. Loan and investment yields declined for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012. The cost of funds declined due to a decline in interest rates paid on interest bearing deposits. Asset yields and funds costs have stabilized, and the net interest margin is expected to remain near current levels until the Federal Reserve adjusts rates.

The provision for loan losses for the Company was $53,000, or 0.06% annualized of average loans, in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $468,000, or 0.5% annualized of average loans, in the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the provision for loan losses decreased to $559,000, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2012. The annualized provision as a percent of average loans was 0.33% for the first six months of 2013, compared to 1.4% for the same period in 2012. Net charge-offs at the Company level were $5.2 million for the 2013 second quarter and $8.2 million for the first six months of 2013, compared to $1.1 million and $4.8 million for the same periods in 2012. The substantial increase in net charge-offs resulted from the actual charge-down of several large commercial real estate loans at the Bank that had been identified as non-performing, with the appropriate allowance allocated, and no additional provision was required.

The provision for loan losses at the Bank was a negative provision of $(200,000) for the 2013 second quarter and $(162,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net charge-offs increased $4.2 million to $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 and increased $3.6 million to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, when compared to the same periods in 2012.

The provision for loan losses at ALC decreased to $253,000 for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $448,000 for the same period of 2012. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the provision was $721,000, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2012. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2013 were $562,000, compared to $620,000 for the second quarter of 2012. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, net charge-offs were $1.2 million, compared to $1.4 million for the first six months of 2012.

Total non-interest income for the Company decreased $103,000, or 7.7%, for the second quarter of 2013 and increased $246,000, or 9.4%, for the first six months of 2013. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $45,000 for the second quarter of 2013, and decreased $83,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, when compared to the same periods in 2012, primarily due to decreased fees generated from customer overdrafts and non-sufficient funds in both quarters of 2013. Other income increased $391,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. This increase is attributable to a non-recurring prepayment penalty of $484,000 from the early payoff of a mortgage-backed pool received in the first quarter of 2013.

Total non-interest expense decreased $264,000, or 3.5%, for the 2013 second quarter and decreased $2.4 million, or 13.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012. Salary and employee benefits increased $251,000 when comparing the second quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2012 and increased $498,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. For the 2013 second quarter, impairment on other real estate increased $135,000, and realized loss on sale of OREO increased $6,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, impairment on OREO decreased $2.5 million, and realized loss on sale of OREO increased $245,000. Management was able to reduce OREO in 2012 and in the first and second quarters of 2013, which resulted in lower impairment expense on OREO. If the economy remains weak and real estate values decline, however, further impairment and losses could occur.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2013 was $512,000, compared to $623,000 for the same period of 2012. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, income tax expense was $856,000, compared to a tax benefit of $360,000 for the same period of 2012. Management estimates the effective tax rate for the Company to be approximately 30.0% of pre-tax income for the period ended June 30, 2013.

COMPARING THE JUNE 30, 2013 STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION TO DECEMBER 31, 2012

In comparing consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2013 to December 31, 2012, total assets decreased $11.4 million to $555.7 million, while liabilities decreased $11.8 million to $486.7 million. Shareholders’ equity increased $364,000 as a result of net income of $2.1 million, offset somewhat by a $1.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Investment securities increased $24.0 million, or 21.1%, during the first six months of 2013. Investments provide the Company with a stable form of liquidity while maximizing earnings yield. Loans, net of unearned income, decreased $33.1 million, from $356.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $323.6 million at June 30, 2013. Deposits decreased $10.9 million, or 2.2%, during the first six months of 2013. Loans, net of unearned income, at ALC

decreased $3.7 million, from $75.1 million at December 31, 2012 to $71.4 million at June 30, 2013. Loans at the Bank, after consolidation eliminations, decreased $29.4 million, from $281.6 million at December 31, 2012 to $252.2 million at June 30, 2013.

Other assets declined $3.3 million from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013. This reduction resulted primarily from a $2.9 million income tax refund receivable and a $465,000 refund receivable from prepaid FDIC assessments as of December 31, 2012. All other components of other assets remained fairly consistent for the six month period.

The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed adequate by management to absorb possible losses from loans in the portfolio. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers numerous factors, including, but not limited to, management’s estimate of: (a) future economic conditions, (b) the financial condition and liquidity of certain loan customers and (c) collateral values of property securing certain loans. Because these factors and others involve the use of management’s estimation and judgment, the allowance for loan losses is inherently subject to adjustment at future dates. Unfavorable changes in the factors used by management to determine the adequacy of the allowance, including increased loan delinquencies and subsequent charge-offs, or the availability of new information, could require additional provisions, in excess of normal provisions, to the allowance for loan losses in future periods. There can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additions to the allowances will not be required.

At June 30, 2013, the allowance for loan losses was $11.6 million, or 3.6% of loans net of unearned income, compared to $19.3 million, or 5.4% of loans net of unearned income, at December 31, 2012. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets decreased to 40.3% at June 30, 2013, compared to 50.1% at December 31, 2012. The level of non-performing and impaired loans has decreased since December 31, 2012 through collections, charge-offs and upgrades. The impairment and reserve required by loans evaluated individually for impairment has decreased. In addition, the historical loss ratios utilized in calculating the allowance for loan losses for the remaining portion of the loan portfolio, which is evaluated collectively for impairment, have also decreased. These factors have contributed to the decreased allowance for loan losses.

Net charge-offs for 2013 as of June 30, 2013 were $8.2 million, or 4.8% of average loans on an annualized basis, an increase of 41.5%, or $3.4 million, from the charge-offs of $4.8 million, or 2.5% of average loans on an annualized basis, reported a year earlier as of June 30, 2012. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $559,000, compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2012.

Non-performing assets as a percentage of net loans and other real estate was 8.60% at June 30, 2013 and 10.40% at December 31, 2012. Loans on nonaccrual status decreased $8.8 million, accruing loans past due 90 days or more increased $103,000 and real estate acquired in settlement of loans decreased $0.9 million from December 31, 2012. The Company forecasts that challenging economic conditions and the weakened real estate market in the Company’s market area will continue to put downward pressure on real estate collateral values and will impact the Company’s ability to reduce non-performing assets. OREO as of June 30, 2013 consisted of six residential properties totaling $473,911 and thirty-three commercial properties totaling $11.1 million at the Bank and thirty-one residential properties totaling $505,413 and fifteen commercial properties totaling $269,326 at ALC. Every effort is made to dispose of these properties in a timely manner, but these efforts continue to be hampered by current economic conditions. Real estate values are depressed, and the real estate market remains weakened in all of the Company’s market areas. Management reviews these non-performing assets and reports to the Board of Directors of the Bank monthly. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing are reviewed by management and are allowed to continue accruing only when management believes that underlying collateral values and the financial strength of the borrowers are sufficient to protect the Bank from loss. If at any time management determines that there may be a loss of interest or principal, these loans will be changed to nonaccrual status and their asset values downgraded.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, FHLB advances, repayments of loan principal and interest from loans and investments. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition, making them less predictable. The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired deposit balance. In addition, the Bank invests in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

The Bank currently has up to $166.7 million in borrowing capacity from the FHLB and $17.8 million in established federal funds lines.

USBI and the Bank are required to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, USBI and the Bank were in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements.

Management is not aware of any condition that currently exists that would have an adverse effect on the liquidity, capital resources or operation of the Company. However, USBI and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. See Note 14 to Item 1, “Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies,” for a discussion of such claims and legal actions.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary functions of asset and liability management are to (1) assure adequate liquidity, (2) maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities, (3) maximize the profit of the Bank and (4) reduce risks to the Bank’s capital. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements of the Bank’s customers, whether they are depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without proper liquidity management, the Bank would not be able to perform a primary function under its role as a financial intermediary and would not be able to meet the needs of the communities that it serves. Interest rate risk management focuses on the maturity structure and repricing characteristics of the Bank’s assets and liabilities when changes occur in market interest rates. Effective interest rate sensitivity management ensures that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable time frame, thereby minimizing the effect of such interest rate movements on short- and long-term net interest margin and net interest income.

Table of Contents

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily from two sources. These are principal payments and maturities of loans and maturities and principal payments from the investment portfolio. Other short-term investments, such as federal funds sold, are additional sources of liquidity. Loans maturing or repricing in one year or less amounted to $155.5 million at December 31, 2012 and $127.0 million at June 30, 2013.

Investment securities forecasted to mature or reprice over the next twelve months ending June 30, 2014 are estimated to be $14.0 million, or approximately 10.2% of the investment portfolio, as of June 30, 2013. For comparison, principal payments on investment securities totaled $19.4 million, or 14.1% of the investment portfolio, as of June 30, 2013.

Although the majority of the securities portfolio has legal final maturities longer than 10 years, a substantial percentage of the portfolio provides monthly principal and interest payments and consists of securities that are readily marketable and easily convertible into cash on short notice. As of June 30, 2013, the bond portfolio had an expected average maturity of 2.7 years, and approximately 80.1% of the $137.7 million in bonds was expected to be repaid within 5 years. However, management does not rely solely upon the investment portfolio to generate cash flows to fund loans, capital expenditures, dividends, debt repayment and other cash requirements. Instead, these activities are funded by cash flows from loan payments, as well as increases in deposits and short-term borrowings.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposit accounts. Federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term and long-term borrowings are additional sources of liquidity. Liquidity management involves the continual monitoring of the sources and uses of funds to maintain an acceptable cash position. Long-term liquidity management focuses on considerations related to the total balance sheet structure.

At each of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank had short-term borrowings that, on average, represented 0.9% of total liabilities and equity. The Bank had no long-term debt outstanding during 2013 to date or at year-end 2012.

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the portfolio of assets and liabilities. These repricing characteristics are the time frames during which the interest-bearing assets and liabilities are subject to changes in interest rates, either at replacement or maturity, during the life of the instruments. Measuring interest rate sensitivity is a function of the differences in the volume of assets and the volume of liabilities that are subject to repricing in future time periods. These differences are known as interest sensitivity gaps and are usually calculated for segments of time and on a cumulative basis.

Measuring Interest Rate Sensitivity: Gap analysis is a technique used to measure interest rate sensitivity at a particular point in time. Assets and liabilities are placed in gap intervals based on their repricing dates. Assets and liabilities for which no specific repricing dates exist are placed in gap intervals based on management’s judgment concerning their most likely repricing behaviors.

A net gap for each time period is calculated by subtracting the liabilities repricing in that interval from the assets repricing. A positive gap – more assets repricing than liabilities – will benefit net interest income if rates are rising and will detract from net interest income in a falling rate environment. Conversely, a negative gap – more liabilities repricing than assets – will benefit net interest income in a declining interest rate environment and will detract from net interest income in a rising interest rate environment.

Gap analysis is the simplest representation of the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. However, it cannot reveal the impact of factors such as administered rates, pricing strategies on consumer and business deposits, changes in balance sheet mix or the effect of various options embedded in balance sheet instruments, such as refinancing rates within the loan and bond portfolios.

Simple gap analysis is no longer considered to be as accurate a tool for measuring interest rate risk as pro forma income simulation because it does not make an allowance for how much an item reprices as interest rates change, only that it is possible that the item could reprice. Accordingly, the Bank does not rely on gap analysis but instead measures changes in net interest income and net interest margin through income simulation over +/- 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% interest rate shocks. Our estimates have consistently shown that the Bank has very limited, if any, net interest margin and net interest income risk to rising interest rates.

On a monthly basis, the Bank simulates how changes in short- and long-term interest rates will impact future profitability, as reflected by changes in the Bank’s net interest margin.

Also on a monthly basis, the Bank calculates how changes in interest rates would impact the market value of its assets and liabilities, as well as changes in long-term profitability. The process is similar to assessing short-term risk but emphasizes and is measured over a five-year time period, which allows for a more comprehensive assessment of longer-term repricing and cash flow imbalances that may not be captured by short-term net interest margin simulation. The results of these calculations are representative of long-term interest rate risk, both in terms of changes in the present value of the Bank’s assets and liabilities, as well as long-term changes in core profitability.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in USBI’s Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

The management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2013, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of June 30, 2013, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in USBI’s periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
