FRESNO, Calif., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dennis R. Woods,
President and Chief Executive Officer of United Security Bancshares
http://www.unitedsecuritybank.com/ (NASDAQ:UBFO) reported today the
results of operations for the 2nd quarter and six months ended June
30, 2009. The net loss was $5,726,000 for the 2nd quarter of 2009,
as compared with net income of $2,070,000 for the 2nd quarter in
2008. Basic and diluted loss per share for the 2nd quarter 2009 was
($0.47) compared with basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.17
for the 2nd quarter 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009,
net loss was $4,805,000 compared with net income of $4,570,000 in
2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, return on average
equity was (12.04%) and the return on average assets was (1.30%).
For the same period in 2008, return on average equity was 10.98%
and return on average assets was 1.19%. The largest components
adversely impacting the 2nd quarter and six months ended June 30,
2009 loss were a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $3,026,000
related to the Legacy Bank acquisition completed during the first
quarter of 2007, and provisions for loan loss of $3,981,000
(after-tax) or $0.32 per share for the quarter and $4,771,000
(after-tax) or $0.39 per share for the six months ended June 30,
2009. The Board of Directors of United Security Bancshares declared
a 3rd quarter 2009 stock dividend of one percent (1%). The stock
dividend replaces the quarterly cash dividend. The stock dividend
was payable to shareholders of record on July 10, 2009 and the
shares were issued on July 22, 2009. Woods added, "Even though the
2nd quarter produced bleak results, in part from a $3 million
non-cash, non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment, the Company's
capital level, regulatory capital ratios and core earnings remain
strong, and signs the economy and real estate markets are improving
are now evident as we enter the 3rd quarter of 2009." The $3
million goodwill impairment loss and enhancements to the allowance
for loan losses during the 2nd quarter reflects the continued
challenging economic and the weaker real estate environments in
some markets we serve. A pretax provision for loan losses of
$6,806,000 was added to the reserve during the 2nd quarter 2009.
The reserve now stands at 2.89% of gross loans. We continued to
sell foreclosed properties during the quarter and worked with
borrowers to restructure loans where possible. Now well into the
3rd quarter, the accelerated pace of property sales and borrowers
debt restructures will help reduce the Company's level of problem
assets as signs of an improving real estate market and general
economy emerge. Since June 30, 2009, we have completed sales of
$3.1 million in foreclosed properties, and have a number of pending
sales of nonperforming assets in escrow. Shareholders' equity at
quarter end was $74 million. Net interest income for the 2nd
quarter 2009 was $6.8 million, down $933,000 from the 2nd quarter
of 2008 for a decrease of 12.1%. The net interest margin decreased
from 4.42% in the 2nd quarter 2008 to 4.30% in 2009. The net
interest margin for the 2nd quarter of 2009 was negatively impacted
by nonaccrual loans reducing the net margin by approximately 0.15%
for the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net
interest income was $13,943,000, down $1,771,000 from $15,713,000
for the same period in 2008. Noninterest income for the 2nd quarter
of 2009 was $1,277,000, down $444,000 from $1,721,000 in 2008 for a
decrease of 25.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 2009,
noninterest income was $2,419,000, down $1,635,000 from $4,054,000
for the same period in 2008. The largest single component of
noninterest income difference was in the gain from the fair value
adjustment to the carrying amount of Trust Preferred Securities,
that accounted for $605,000 of the change. Other operating expenses
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $9,095,000 and
$5,741,000 for 2008, an increase of $3,354,000 or 58.4%. For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, other operating expenses totaled
$14,764,000, up $2,907,000 from $11,857,000 for the same period in
2008. Four expense components accounted for the much of differences
for the quarter, as well as year-to-date. For the six month period,
FDIC assessments increased by $376,000, write-downs on foreclosed
properties were up $472,000, foreclosed property expenses were up
$762,000 and the goodwill impairment expense was up $3,026,000 in
2009 over 2008. Salaries and benefits decreased by $1,459,000,
occupancy expense declined $79,000. The provision for loan loss was
$6,806,000 for the 2nd quarter of 2009 and $451,000 for 2nd quarter
of 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the provision was
$8,158,000 compared with $716,000 for the same period in 2008. 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, 2009 to be adequate. Non-performing assets increased to
14.03% of total assets on June 30, 2009 from 11.14% on March 31,
2009, as a result of increases in nonperforming loans as well as
other real estate owned through foreclosure. At year-end 2008
non-performing assets were 10.68% of total assets and on June 30,
2008 6.67%. United Security Bancshares is a $730+ million bank
holding company. United Security Bank, its principal subsidiary is
a state chartered bank and member of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This news release
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Company
intends such statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions
for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based
on management's knowledge and belief as of today and include
information concerning the Company's possible or assumed future
financial condition, and its results of operations, business and
earnings outlook. These forward-looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties. A number of factors, some of which are
beyond the Company's ability to control or predict, could cause
future results to differ materially from those contemplated by such
forward-looking statements. These factors include (1) changes in
interest rates, (2) significant changes in banking laws or
regulations, (3) increased competition in the company's market, (4)
other-than-expected credit losses, (5) earthquake or other natural
disasters impacting the condition of real estate collateral, (6)
the effect of acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses,
(7) the impact of proposed and/or recently adopted changes in
regulatory, judicial, or legislative tax treatment of business
transactions, particularly recently enacted California tax
legislation and the subsequent Dec. 31, 2003, announcement by the
Franchise Tax Board regarding the taxation of REITs and RICs; and
(8) unknown economic impacts caused by the State of California's
budget issues. Management cannot predict at this time the severity
or duration of the effects of the recent business slowdown on our
specific business activities and profitability. Weaker or a further
decline in capital and consumer spending, and related recessionary
trends could adversely affect our performance in a number of ways
including decreased demand for our products and services and
increased credit losses. Likewise, changes in interest rates, among
other things, could slow the rate of growth or put pressure on
current deposit levels and affect the ability of borrowers to repay
loans. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made, and the company does not undertake to update
forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that
occur after the date the statements are made, or to update earnings
guidance including the factors that influence earnings. For a more
