NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(unaudited)
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies

United Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.  The Company's principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, United Bank of Philadelphia (the "Bank").

During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 when reviewing this Form 10-Q.  Quarterly results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for other quarters.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Management’s Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates which are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the fair value of investment securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of loans held at fair value, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the carrying value of other real estate owned, the determination of other than temporary impairment for securities.

Commitments
In the general course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit, such as letters of credit and un-advanced loan commitments, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.

Contingencies
The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation in the normal course of its business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. However, the ultimate outcome of any such litigation, as with litigation generally, is inherently uncertain and it is possible that some litigation matters may be resolved adversely to the Company.

Loans Held for Sale
From time to time, the Bank originates SBA loans for which the guaranteed portion is intended to be sold within a short period of time in the secondary market.  These loans are carried at estimated fair value based on a loan-by-loan valuation using actual market bids in accordance with the irrevocable option permitted under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10-25 Financial Instruments. 

Loans Held at Fair Value
The Bank originates SBA loans for which the un-guaranteed portion is retained after the guaranteed portion is sold in the secondary market.  Management has elected to carry these loans at fair value.  Fair value of these loans is estimated based on the present value of future cashflows for each asset based on their unique characteristics, market-based assumptions for prepayment speeds, discount rates, default and voluntary prepayments as well as assumptions for losses and recoveries.

 
6



Loans
The Bank has both the positive intent and ability to hold the majority of its loans to maturity.  These loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by net unearned discount and an allowance for loan losses.  Interest income on loans is recognized as earned based on contractual interest rates applied to daily principal amounts outstanding and accretion of discount.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses.  Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.  When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, an assessment of the loan portfolio will typically include changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality and past loss experience, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions which may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, and other factors which may warrant current recognition.  Such periodic assessments may, in management’s judgment, require the Bank to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance.

Various regulatory agencies periodically review the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process.  Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions or reductions to the allowance based on their evaluation of information available to them at the time of their examination.  It is reasonably possible that the above factors may change significantly and, therefore, affects management’s determination of the allowance for loan losses in the near term.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience, other qualitative factors, and adjustments made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.  The Bank does not allocate reserves for unfunded commitments to fund lines of credit.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  The Bank will identify and assess loans that may be impaired through any of the following processes:
 
 
·
During regularly scheduled meetings of the Asset Quality Committee
 
·
During regular reviews of the delinquency report
 
·
During the course of routine account servicing, annual review, or credit file update
 
·
Upon receipt of verifiable evidence of a material reduction in the value of collateral to a level that creates a less than desirable Loan-to-Value ratio
 
Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
Large groups of smaller, homogeneous loans, including consumer installment and home equity loans, 1-4 family residential mortgages, and student loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

 
7


Non-accrual and Past Due Loans.
Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received 30 days as of the date such payments were due.  The Bank generally places a loan on non-accrual status when interest or principal is past due 90 days or more.  If it otherwise appears doubtful that the loan will be repaid, management may place the loan on nonaccrual status before the lapse of 90 days. Interest on loans past due 90 days or more ceases to accrue except for loans that are well collateralized and in the process of collection.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed out of income.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Income Taxes
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment based upon available evidence that future realization is more likely than not.   For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of 100% of the net deferred tax asset has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets related to cumulative temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards.  If management determines that the Company may be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an income tax benefit may be required to increase the recorded value of the net deferred tax asset to the expected realizable amount.
 
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
 
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, would be recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

4. New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
 
ASU 2014-04, Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (a) the creditor obtaining legal title to residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (b) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan though completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement.  The amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of the foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2018.

Government Sponsored Enterprises residential mortgage-backed securities. Unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in Government Sponsored Enterprises residential mortgage-backed securities were caused by market interest rate increases. The Company purchased those investments at a discount relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of those investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
U.S. Government and Agency Securities. Unrealized losses on the Company's investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were caused by market interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
The Company has a process in place to identify debt securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other than temporary.  This process involves monitoring late payments, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, key financial ratios, financial statements, revenue forecasts and cash flow projections as indicators of credit issues.  On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews all securities to determine whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists and whether losses should be recognized. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether a credit or interest rate-related impairment of a security is other than temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include: (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) for fixed maturity securities, the intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity and for equity securities, the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time that allows for the recovery in value.

6. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
The composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio is as follows:
 
(Dollars in thousands)
 
September 30,
2015
   
December 31,
2014
 
Commercial and industrial
  $ 3,351     $ 4,635  
Commercial real estate
    27,010       31,556  
Consumer real estate
    2,926       3,297  
Consumer loans other
    1,268       1,373  
           Total loans
  $ 34,555     $ 40,861  
 
 
 
11

 
The determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance is the accumulation of three components that are calculated based on various independent methodologies that are based on management’s estimates.  The three components are as follows:
 
 
·
Specific Loan Evaluation Component – Includes the specific evaluation of impaired loans.  
 
 
·
Historical Charge-Off Component – Applies an annualized eight-quarter rolling historical charge-off rate to all pools of non-classified loans.
 
 
·
Qualitative Factors Component – The loan portfolio is broken down into multiple homogenous sub classifications, upon which multiple factors (such as delinquency trends, economic conditions, concentrations, growth/volume trends, and management/staff ability) are evaluated, resulting in an allowance amount for each of the sub classifications. The sum of these amounts comprises the Qualitative Factors Component.
 
All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Bank reduced several of its qualitative factors in the commercial real estate segment of the loan portfolio for which it has never experienced losses or charge-offs.  In addition, the average historical loss factors increased for the commercial and industrial segment of the portfolio as a result of $212,000 charge-offs during the quarter. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
 
The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for loan losses.
