United Security Bancshares reported consolidated net income of $2,047,000 or $0.14 per basic and diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $1,397,000 or $0.09 per basic and diluted common shares for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Annualized return on average assets (ROAA) was 0.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 0.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. On a year to date comparative basis, changes in income were the result of an increase of $1,196,000 in non-interest income, an increase of $529,000 in total interest income, and a $250,000 decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $1,311,000 in non-interest expense.

Annualized return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to 0.88% for the same period in 2013.

Dennis R. Woods, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, states, “We continue to see positive momentum with growth in loan demand, increasing net earnings, and reductions in non-performing assets. During the first half of 2014, we have grown our loan portfolio by $27.1 million and look forward to continued loan growth and strengthening our core earnings during the remainder of 2014.” Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2014 was $79,537,000, up $2,994,000 from shareholders’ equity of $76,543,000 at December 31, 2013.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $11,381,000, an increase of $779,000 from the $10,602,000 reported for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The net interest margin was 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 3.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 totaled $5,916,000, an increase of $574,000 from $5,342,000 reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The net interest margin was 4.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 3.94% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Company experienced a slight improvement in net interest margin due to an increase in the balance of high-yielding loans as a percentage of total earning assets.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $2,822,000, reflecting an increase of $1,196,000 from $1,626,000 in noninterest income reported for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Customer service fees continue to provide the majority of the Company's noninterest income, totaling $1,682,000 and $1,681,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. On a year over year comparative basis, non-interest income increased primarily due to a decrease of $531,000 on loss on fair value option of financial assets and a $691,000 gain on the sale of investment during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 totaled $2,105,000, reflecting an increase of $998,000 from $1,107,000 in noninterest income reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Customer service fees totaled $888,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $902,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Changes in noninterest income on a quarter-to-quarter comparative basis between the second quarters of 2014 and 2013 are largely the result of $319,000 in reduction in losses on fair value option of financial assets and a $691,000 gain on the sale of investment during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, noninterest expense totaled $9,538,000, an increase of $1,311,000 as compared to $8,227,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. On a year over year comparative basis, noninterest expense increased primarily due to a $364,000 net cost on OREO during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net gain on OREO of
$1,218,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2013. Partially offsetting the increase due to net cost on OREO were reductions in professional fees and regulatory assessments. Noninterest expense totaled $4,744,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a increase of $590,000 as compared to $4,154,000 reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Between the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, net cost on OREO increased $420,000, partially offset by decreases in professional fees and regulatory assessments of $48,000 and $100,000, respectively.
The Company had a negative provision for loan loss of $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a provision of $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net loan recoveries totaled $200,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net charge-offs of $657,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company had a negative provision for loan loss of $93,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to a provision of $39,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net loan recoveries totaled $57,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net charge-offs of $285,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. With a modest recovery in the economy and real estate markets within the Bank's service area, the Company has maintained an adequate allowance for loan losses which totaled 2.62% of total loans at June 30, 2014, compared to 2.78% of total loans at December 31, 2013. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, Management's judgment is the primary determining factor for establishing the amount of the provision for loan losses and management considers the allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2014 to be adequate.
Non-performing assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructures (TDR), other real estate owned through foreclosure (OREO), and loans more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest, decreased approximately $3,379,000 between December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014. Additionally, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 5.04% at December 31, 2013 to 4.39% at June 30, 2014. Nonaccrual loans decreased $2,792,000 between December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014, while OREO increased $154,000 during the same period. Impaired loans totaled $14,486,000 at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $3,646,000 from the balance of $18,132,000 at December 31, 2013.
