UNITED SECURITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


Note A - General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Security
Bancshares, Inc. (Bancshares) and its subsidiary.  All significant intercompany
accounts have been eliminated.

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results
for such periods.  Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The
results of operation for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1995, of United Security
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary.


Note B - Acquisitions 

On June 1, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the 
outstanding shares of Brent Banking Company for $7.05 million in cash.  This 
acquisition increased the Company's total assets by $33.7 million.


Note C - New Accounting Standards

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets".  The adoption of this standard did not have
a significant effect on the Financial position of the Company.


Note D - Reclassifications

Certain balances in the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation adopted in the current year.







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 financial position and results of operations of
United Security Bancshares, Inc. ("United Security").  United Security is the
Parent Holding Company of United Security Bank (the "Bank"), and it has no
operations of any consequence other than the ownership of its subsidiary.  The
emphasis of this discussion is a comparison of Assets, Liabilities, and Capital
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, to year-end 1996; while comparing 
income for the first half ended June 30, 1996, to income for the first half 
ended June 30, 1995.

On June 1, 1996, United Security Bank completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding shares of Brent Banking Company.  The acquisition increased United
Security's total assets by $33.7 million.  The total asset and liability
increase is reflected in the June 30, 1996 Statement of Condition,  However,
since the merger did not occur until June 1, 1996, only one month of income
after the merger is recorded in the Statement of Income.  The discussion and
analysis below, therefore, will be impacted by some large increases due to the
merger, particularly in the areas of asset and deposit growth.

All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are based on the cash 
basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis.


COMPARING THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1995:

Net income increased $349,398 or 19.79% increasing net income per share to $.99
from $.83.  The increase is due to improved net interest income.

Net interest income increased $487,846 or 10.64% over the first half of 1995. 
A combination of volume, rate and yield changes contributed to this increase. 
Total interest income increased $953,583 or 12.05% over the first half of 1995. 
Much of this increase is due to the increases in investment income generated. 
Total interest-earning assets increased by $37,614,399 or 20.46% while interest-
bearing liabilities increased $38,655,992 or 26.61% in the first half of 1996. 
It is again significant to note that while assets and liabilities have 
increased considerably due to the Brent Bank merger, the income from that merger
is reflected for only one month.

Net operating income (income excluding taxes and securities transactions)
increased $262,906 or 10.78% in the first half of 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995.  Management's investment strategy continued to be maximizing
portfolio returns commensurate with appropriate risk and liquidity
considerations.  In July of 1995, United Security reclassified all investment
securities from held to maturity to available for sale to allow more 
flexibility in managing the investment portfolio.  This investment strategy 
has resulted in increased yields and liquidity.

Total interest expense increased $450,737 or 13.53% in the first half of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995.  Interest expense on short-term borrowings
increased $235,098 during the first half of 1996 compared to the first half of
1995.  Short-term borrowing consists of U. S. Treasury demand notes in the
Treasury, Tax and Loan Accounts, securities sold under repurchase agreements 
and federal funds purchased and are used to satisfy short term funding needs
including arbitrage when advantageous to the Bank.  The increased interest
expense on deposits during the first half of 1996 is a result of the increase
in total interest bearing deposits during the same period.  Interest expense
associated with the Brent Bank merger is only reflected in one month's 
operating expense.





Total net non-interest expense (non-interest expense less non-interest income)
increased only $1,448 or less than 1%.  This flat rate of growth was due in part
to the gains realized in securities transactions and reduction in FDIC premiums
during the first half of 1996.


COMPARING THE ENDING FIGURES JUNE 30, 1996, TO ENDING FIGURES DECEMBER 31, 1995:

Total assets increased $41,527,267 or 21.03% to $238,995,039. The Brent Banking
Company merger accounted for $33.7 million or 17.06% of the increase in total
assets.  Net loans increased $16,314,387 or 30.10% to $70,517,553, while
investment securities increased by $21,900,012 or 16.98% to $150,902,614. 
Deposits increased by $35,799,304 or 24.43% to $182,314,019 in the first half
of 1996.

Federal funds purchased generally mature within one to four days from the
transaction date and these funds are generally used to satisfy daily funding
needs.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank had purchased $1,575,000 in federal funds. 
Other borrowings increased by $2,000,000 during the first half of 1996.  Other
borrowings consist of loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the amount of
$24,000,000 and also represents short term debt. Treasury tax and loan deposits
are on demand and increased by $490,320 at June 30, 1996.

The long-term debt consists of a floating rate note from the Federal Home Loan
Bank secured by investment securities pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank. 
This debt is used to fund long-term fixed-rate mortgages and the final
installment is due in 2005.  The first half reduction was $41,667.

Undivided profits increased $1,558,998 or 8.17%, and net unrealized gain on
available for sale securities realized a decrease of $127,857 in the first 
half, which resulted in a Stockholder's Equity increase of $1,431,141 or 
5.67% to $26,660,388.  Shareholders' Equity was not impacted by the merger of 
Brent Banking Company because the acquisition was a purchase transaction of 
all the outstanding shares.

Management is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which would have any adverse effect on the liquidity, capital
resources or operation of the Bank.  However, there were six law suits pending
against the Bank at the end of the first half of 1996, which could impact the
Banks future earnings.  Management, however does not expect any material
financial impact at this time and the Bank is committed to offer a vigorous
defense in each case.
