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. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “USBI”), 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 the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings and other public announcements, including the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010. With respect to 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 interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Security Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “USBI”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and results of operations 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, 2011. While certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended. 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management evaluated subsequent events through the date on which the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing amended previous guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The amended guidance eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities and requires that these entities be evaluated for consolidation under applicable accounting guidance, and it also removes the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when control over the transferred assets had not been surrendered. Based on this new standard, many types of transferred financial assets that would previously have been derecognized will now remain on the transferor’s financial statements. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets and the transferor’s continuing involvement with those assets and related risk exposure. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC Topic 810 Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities was issued in June 2009 and amended then-existing guidance on accounting for Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). This guidance replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise might have a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The new, more qualitative evaluation focuses on who has the power to direct the significant economic activities of the VIE and also has the obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive benefits from the VIE. It also requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and calls for certain expanded disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities. The new guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC Topic 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements) impacting ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The amendments in this update require new disclosures about significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The amendments also require a reporting entity to provide information about activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements and to clarify disclosures about the level of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. This update became effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset, which clarifies the accounting for acquired loans that have evidence of a deterioration in credit quality since origination (referred to as “Subtopic 310-30 Loans”). Under this ASU, an entity may not apply troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting guidance to individual Subtopic 310-30 Loans that are part of a pool, even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. Once a pool is established, individual loans should not be removed from the pool unless the entity sells, forecloses or writes off the loan. Entities would continue to consider whether the pool of loans is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. Subtopic 310-30 Loans that are accounted for individually would continue to be subject to TDR accounting guidance. A one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool, which may be made on a pool-by-pool basis, is provided upon adoption of the ASU. This ASU became effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning September 30, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. This ASU became effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASU 2010-28 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU No. 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310) - A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings and is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude, under the guidance clarified by ASU 2011-02, that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 will be effective for the Company on July 1, 2011 and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. Adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU No. 2011-03 affects all entities that enter into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-03 remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. ASU No. 2011-03 also eliminates the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets. The guidance is effective for the Company’s reporting period ended March 31, 2012. The guidance will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2012.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The standards set forth in ASU 2011-04 supersede most of the accounting guidance currently found in Topic 820 of FASB’s ASC and previously known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157,

The amendments will improve comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments also clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. These amendments include (1) the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, (2) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity and (3) disclosing quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used within the Level 3 hierarchy. The guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied prospectively.

 

3. NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO USBI PER SHARE

Basic net income attributable to USBI per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to USBI by the weighted average shares during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Diluted net income attributable to USBI per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 periods ended March 31, 2011 or 2010, and, therefore, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were the same.

The following table represents the basic and diluted net income attributable to USBI per share calculations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

   $ 3,285         6,017,495       $ 0.55   

 

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income consists of net income attributable to USBI 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 are made 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 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

Table of Contents

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.

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

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: 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 were 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 value of relatively short-term time deposits is 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, floating rate borrowings from the FHLB and the U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized below.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, 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 highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. Level 2 securities include U.S. 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. Currently, all of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are considered to be Level 2 securities, except for $237,733 in equity securities that are considered to be Level 1 securities.

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

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. 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 $18,997,776 and $19,900,745 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This valuation would be considered Level 3, consisting of appraisals of underlying collateral and discounted cash flow analysis.

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.

During 2011, certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, were remeasured 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 $2,212,200 and $7,084,265 (utilizing Level 2 valuation inputs) during 2011 and 2010, 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 $1,394,405 and $4,268,544 during 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no foreclosed assets remeasured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition during 2011.

The estimated fair value and related carrying or notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 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 market value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, based on the aforementioned considerations, management did not record an other-than-temporary impairment on any security that was in an

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 meet the definition of 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 is the sole limited partner and one of the affordable housing projects in which the fund invests. The resulting financial impact to the Company of the consolidation of these two entities was a net increase to total assets of approximately $3.1 million as of March 31, 2011. This included $7.4 million in premises and equipment less a loan totaling $5.0 million. This loan, payable by the partnership to the Company, was eliminated as a result of this

consolidation. Unconsolidated investments in these partnerships 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 $1.7 million recorded investment.

The assets and liabilities of these partnerships consist primarily of apartment complexes and related mortgages. The Bank’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 Bank had no remaining cash commitments to these partnerships at March 31, 2011.

9. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, treasury tax and loan deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Federal funds purchased generally mature within one to four days. None were outstanding at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Treasury tax and loan deposits totaled $619,799 and $778,294 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These deposits are withdrawable on demand.

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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $518,363 and $192,139, respectively.

At March 31, 2011, the Bank had $7.8 million in available federal fund lines from correspondent banks.

 

10. 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, investment securities and mortgage loans amounting to $31,631,881 and $45,533,914, respectively, were pledged to secure these borrowings.

At March 31, 2011, the Bank had $162.2 million in available credit from the FHLB.

12. 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. They are composed of the Company’s and First United Security Bank’s (the “Bank” or “FUSB”) 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, as amended. 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:

13. GUARANTEES, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and in connection with its interest rate risk management, investing and trading activities. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

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 period ended March 31, 2011, 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 financial statements. A summary of these commitments and contingent liabilities is presented below:

 

     March 31,      December 31,  
     2011      2010  
     (Dollars in Thousands)  

Standby Letters of Credit

   $ 1,332       $ 1,127   

Commitments to Extend Credit

   $ 41,062       $ 36,560

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2011 was $1.3 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 March 31, 2011, there were no outstanding commitments to purchase and sell securities for delayed delivery.

Litigation

On September 27, 2007, Malcomb Graves Automotive, LLC, Malcomb Graves and Tina Graves (collectively, “Graves”) filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Alabama against the Company, the Bank, the Bank’s subsidiary, Acceptance Loan Company (“ALC”), and their respective directors and officers seeking an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. A former employee of ALC, Corey Mitchell, has been named as a co-defendant. The complaint alleges that the defendants committed fraud in allegedly misrepresenting to Graves the amounts that Graves owed on certain loans and failing to credit Graves 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. Graves has not yet responded to the motion to dismiss, and the motion has not yet been set for hearing. Additionally, on January 24, 2011, ALC and the Bank filed a crossclaim against Corey Mitchell seeking, among other relief, defense and indemnification for any damages suffered in the underlying lawsuit. The defendants deny the allegations against them in the underlying lawsuit and intend to vigorously defend themselves in this matter. Given the pendency of the motion to dismiss and the lack of discovery conducted, it is too early to assess the likelihood of a resolution of this matter or the possibility of an unfavorable outcome.

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 currently serves 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. The complaint includes a demand for compensatory and punitive damages and costs. The court recently struck the plantiff’s jury demand included in the complaint. Although the defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves in this matter, it is too early to assess the likelihood of a resolution of this matter or the possibility of an unfavorable outcome.

The Company and its subsidiaries also are parties to other litigation, and intend to vigorously defend themselves in all such litigation. In the opinion of management, 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 position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

14. RESTATEMENT OF 2010 FORM 10-K

Between the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and the filing of this Form 10-Q, as reported by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2011, subsequent to the March 14, 2011 filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Initial Form 10-K”), management of the Company was made aware of certain material adjustments to the current appraised values of several properties securing impaired loans held by the Bank. The adjustments were not factored into the Company’s provision for loan losses in the previously issued consolidated financial statements and

accompanying footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Financials”). As a result, management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Initial Form 10-K and accompanying 2010 Financials should be amended and restated. Therefore, on May 20, 2010, the Company’s management filed Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Form 10-K to reflect the amendment and restatement of the 2010 Financials.

 

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

The following discussion and 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. (the “Company” or “USBI”). The Company 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”). The Company has no operations of any consequence other than the ownership of its subsidiaries.

The accounting principles and reporting policies of the Company, and the methods of applying these principles, conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with 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 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended.

The emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2011 to year-end 2010, while comparing income and expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended.

COMPARING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010

Net income attributable to USBI for the first quarter of 2011 was $819,000, compared to net income attributable to USBI of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2010. This first quarter income resulted in income of $0.14 per share, compared to income of $0.55 per share for the same quarter of 2010. First quarter 2010 net income benefited from the settlement payment received from The Cincinnati Insurance Company of $4,150,000, which increased net income attributable to USBI per share by $0.41.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, the Bank provided net income of $578,000, compared to $904,000 for the same quarter of 2010. Net income at FUSB declined when compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to an increased impairment write-down on other real estate owned, realized losses on the sale of other real estate sold and increased costs to maintain these properties. These increased expenses related to other real estate owned were somewhat offset by a decreased provision for loan losses of $188,000 and decreased legal and accounting fees of $350,000, all compared to the first quarter of 2010.

Net income attributable to ALC for the three-month period ending March 31, 2011 was $307,000, compared to $2.5 million for the same quarter of 2010. This decrease resulted from the non-recurring insurance settlement received in the first quarter of 2010.

Interest income on loans during the 2011 first quarter declined $218,000 primarily as a result of a $9.2 million decline in loans outstanding from the first quarter of 2010. Investment securities declined $31.9 million from March 31, 2010 and resulted in a decrease in interest earned of $592,000 when compared with the first quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

Interest expense for the 2011 first quarter decreased $1.1 million, or 36.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2010. This decrease was the result of lower interest rates paid on certificates of deposit and borrowed funds and a $24.0 million decrease in long-term debt.

Net interest income increased $246,000, or 3.0%, for the first quarter of 2011 as a result of improved net interest margin due to decreased cost of funds, on both deposits and borrowed funds.

The provision for loan losses was $1.3 million, or 1.3% annualized of average loans, for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $1.7 million, or 1.7% annualized of average loans, for the first quarter of 2010. Charge-offs exceeded recoveries by $2.2 million for the 2011 first quarter, an increase of approximately $751,000 over the same period in the prior year. The provision for loan losses at the Bank decreased to $818,000 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2010. The provision for loan losses at ALC decreased to $486,000 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $736,000 for the same quarter of 2010. Non-performing loans at ALC have declined from previous levels, and charge-offs have declined, thus requiring a lower provision for loan losses in 2011.

Total non-interest income decreased $4.4 million, or 78.7%, for the first quarter of 2011, due to the non-recurring insurance settlement received in the first quarter of 2010. All other fees decreased $4.5 million for the first quarter 2011 primarily due to the non-recurring insurance settlement of $4.2 million received in the first quarter of 2010.

Total non-interest expense increased $211,000, or 2.9%, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Impairment write-down on other real estate increased $321,000 to $484,000, compared to $163,000 at March 31, 2010. Loss on the sale of other real estate owned amounted to $339,000 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $221,000 in the first quarter of 2010. Salary and employee benefits increased $110,000 over the first quarter of 2010. Salary increased $73,000, or 2.6%, over the first quarter of 2010, and employee benefits increased $37,000, amounting to an increase of 5.6%, when compared to March 31, 2010. All other expense declined $367,000 from the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to a $362,000 decline in legal and accounting fees.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $1.6 million over the first quarter of 2010. The decrease resulted from the $3.9 million decline in taxable income from the first quarter of 2010, due to the non-recurring insurance settlement received in the first quarter of 2010. Management estimates that the effective tax rate for the Company will be approximately 30.0% of pre-tax income for the remainder of the year.

COMPARING THE MARCH 31, 2011 STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION TO DECEMBER 31, 2010

In comparing consolidated financial condition at March 31, 2011 to December 31, 2010, total assets increased $17.6 million to $639.4 million, while liabilities increased $16.9 million to $564.1 million. Shareholders’ equity increased $733,000 as a result of an increase in other comprehensive income of $158,000 and earnings in excess of dividends of $578,000.

Investment securities decreased $2.7 million, or 2.0%, during the first three months of 2011. Investments provide the Company with a stable form of liquidity while maximizing earnings yield. Loans, net of unearned income, decreased $4.0 million, from $408.4 million at December 31, 2010 to $404.4 million at March 31, 2011. Loan growth at the Bank has been flat due to the slowdown in construction and real estate development in the trade areas served by the Company. Deposits increased $16.7 million, or 3.3%, during the first three months of 2011. Loans, net of unearned income at ALC, decreased $2.9 million, from $84.6 million at December 31, 2010 to $81.7 million at March 31, 2011. Loans at the Bank, after consolidation eliminations, decreased $1.0 million from $323.8 million at December 31, 2010 to $322.8 million at March 31, 2011.

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.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $20.0 million, or 4.9% of loans net of unearned income, compared to $10.3 million, or 2.5% of loans net of unearned income, at March 31, 2010, and $20.9 million, or 5.1% of loans net of unearned income, at December 31, 2010. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets decreased to 38.6% at March 31, 2011, compared to 47.1% at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, loans on non-accrual increased $8.0 million, accruing loans past due 90 days or more decreased $0.8 million and real estate acquired in settlement of loans increased $189,000, each as compared to December 31, 2010.

Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 were $2.2 million, or 2.2% of average loans on an annualized basis, an increase of 50.8 %, or $0.7 million, from the charge-offs of $1.5 million, or 1.4% of average loans on an annualized basis, reported a year earlier. The provision for loan losses for the first three months of 2011 was $1.3 million, compared to $1.7 million in the first three months of 2010.

Non-performing assets were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Non-Performing Assets as a Percentage of Net Loans and Other Real Estate

     11.97     11.56     14.50

Non-performing assets as a percentage of net loans and other real estate was 12.0% at March 31, 2011 and 10.2% at December 31, 2010. Loans on non-accrual status increased $8.0 million, accruing loans past due 90 days or more decreased $811,000 and real estate acquired in settlement of loans increased $189,000 from December 31, 2010. The substantial increase in non-accrual loans resulted from placing four commercial real estate loans to a single borrower totaling $8.7 million on non-accrual status in the first quarter of 2011. The Company forecasts that adverse economic conditions and the severely depressed real estate market will continue to put downward pressure on real estate collateral values and will impact our ability to reduce non-performing assets. Other real estate acquired as of March 31, 2011 consisted of thirteen residential properties totaling $477,000 and fifty-one commercial properties totaling $19.0 million at the Bank and one hundred forty-seven residential properties totaling $6.0 million and fifteen commercial properties totaling $418,000 at ALC. Every effort is made to dispose of these properties in a timely manner, but these efforts continue to be hampered by poor economic conditions. Real estate values continue to decline, and the real estate market remains severely depressed in all of our 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 non-accrual 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 $162.2 million in borrowing capacity from the FHLB and $7.8 million in established federal funds lines.

The Bank is required to maintain certain levels of regulatory capital. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company 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, the Company is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. See Note 13 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 its 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.

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 $195.0 million at December 31, 2010 and $161.5 million at March 31, 2011.

Investment securities forecasted to mature or reprice over the next twelve months ending March 31, 2012 are estimated to be $10.8 million, or about 8.0%, of the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2011. For comparison, principal payments on investment securities totaled $11.9 million, or 8.8%, of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2011.

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 March 31, 2011, the bond portfolio had an expected average maturity of 4.3 years, and approximately 68.6% of the $134.4 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.

Table of Contents

The Bank, at March 31, 2011, had long-term debt and short-term borrowings that, on average, represented 4.9% of total liabilities and equity, compared to 8.3% at year-end 2010.

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% and 3% 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 designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objective that information in its reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified and pursuant to the requirements of the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2011, pursuant to the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of March 31, 2011, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness that existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting relating to the system of monitoring the real estate collateral values of certain impaired loans at the Bank. In certain instances, reductions in collateral values on impaired loans based on recent appraisals had not been communicated to management responsible for financial reporting on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

31


Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During May 2011, after management discovered the material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting described above, management implemented the following internal control procedures to ensure timely reporting of changes in collateral values on impaired loans to management responsible for financial reporting of the Company:

 

  1. The Chief Credit Officer (“CCO”) of the Bank has been assigned the additional responsibility for monitoring all assets classified as impaired. The CCO will also be responsible for determining when appraisals or evaluations will be needed on impaired loans, and for reporting any reductions in collateral values to the Chief Financial Officer on a quarterly basis prior to the filing of the quarterly and annual reports with the SEC.

 

  2. A third-party appraisal firm has been engaged to provide appraisals on real estate securing all loans over $500,000, and those of lesser amounts which require more than an evaluation.

 

  3. Each appraisal will be accompanied by an independent appraisal review, also performed by an independent third party.

 

  4. When appraisals are received from the third-party appraisal firm, a copy of the appraisal will promptly be provided to the Loan Officer and the Loan Operations Manager, each of whom will be responsible to promptly place the appraisal in the customer file and forward a copy to both the Senior Loan Officer and the CCO.

 

  5. The Credit Quality Improvement Committee comprised of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, CCO, North and South Senior Regional Lenders, Corporate Secretary, Manager of Loan Operations, Credit Administration Analyst and Special Assets Manager has been formed. The Credit Quality Improvement Committee will meet at least quarterly to discuss loan portfolio and problem asset quality, and review and discuss all impaired assets greater than $500,000 in order to assist the CCO in determining appropriate impairment valuation and related recommendation of any additional impairment charge.
