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, 1996, of United Security Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary. Note B - Acquisitions On August 19, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with First Bancshares, Inc. The merger has been approved by all regulatory authorities and is pending approval by the shareholders. A vote is scheduled for May 20, 1997. At December 31, 1996 First Bancshares, Inc. had assets of $195.2 million and shareholders equity of $18.8 million. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 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 three months ended March 31, 1997, to year-end 1996; while comparing income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, to income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. All yields and ratios presented and discussed herein are based on the cash basis and not on the tax-equivalent basis. On June 1, 1996, United Security Bank completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Brent Banking Company. The acquisition increased United Security's total assets by $33.7 million. Since the March 31, 1996 Statement of Income was not effected by the merger, the Statement of Income comparison will be impacted. COMPARING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997, TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996; Net income increased $86,551 or 7.9% increasing net income per share to $.54 from $.50. The increase is due in part to improved net interest income. Net interest income increased $219,020 or 8.97% over the first quarter of 1996. A combination of volume, rate and yield changes, as well as the increased income generated by the Brent Bank acquisition, contributed to this increase. Total interest-earning assets increased by $9,552,687 or 4.41% in the first quarter of 1997 and interest-bearing liabilities increased $9,278,739 during the same period. Growth in interest earning assets and growth in low interest deposit products over the first quarter of 1997 has contributed to the increased net interest income because of the spread between the yield on assets and the rates paid on liabilities. Total interest expense increased $299,873 or 16.73% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase can be directly attributed to the increase in interest on deposits of $298,463, much of which is due to the Brent Bank acquisition. Most of the short-term borrowings have been reclassified as long-term debt, and the interest expense for each classi- fication is off-set in the first quarter comparison. 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. Long- term debt consists of loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Net operating income (income excluding taxes and securities transactions) increased $28,126 or 2.02% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1996. 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 non-interest income increased $184,279 or 50.06% in the first quarter of 1997 when compared to the first quarter of 1996. There are three major factors in the increase. First, securities related income increased $61,427. Secondly, the increase in deposits bought through the Brent acquisition produced more service charge income, and third, the Bond Division opened by United Security Bank in the fourth quarter of 1996 contributed to non-interest income in the first quarter of 1997. Total non-interest expense increased $313,748 or 24.44% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996. This increase is a direct result of the Brent Bank acquisition and the start-up of the Bond Division. COMPARING THE ENDING FIGURES MARCH 31, 1997, TO THE ENDING FIGURES DECEMBER 31, 1996: Total assets increased $8,915,595 or 3.79% to $244,106,718. Net loans increased $1,718,655 or 2.66%, while investment securities increased by $5,634,032 or 3.71% to $157,507,596. Deposits continue to show steady growth by increasing $6,794,706 or 3.78% to $186,720,423 in the first quarter of 1997. $5,306,816 of the deposit growth was in demand deposits. On December 31, 1996, Other Borrowings totalled $20 million and consisted of loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank. These loans were reclassified as long- term debt in the first quarter of 1997 and increased by $5 million. Investment securities are pledged to secure these borrowings. Treasury tax and loan deposits are on demand and increased by $325,962 as in the first quarter of 1997. Undivided profits increased $834,125 or 3.75%, and net unrealized gain (loss) on available for sale securities had a total decrease of $1,614,113 in the first quarter due to an unrealized gain of $1,062,247 at December 31, 1996 and an unrealized loss of $551,866 at March 31, 1997. The unrealized loss resulted in a decline in Stockholders' Equity of $779,988 or (2.71%) to $28,046,191. 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 four law suits filed against the Bank at the end of the first quarter 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. On August 19, 1996, United Security Bancshares, Inc. entered into an agreement to merge with First Bancshares, Inc. The application to merge has been approved by all regulatory authorities and the merger is now pending approval by the shareholders. The meeting for a shareholder vote is scheduled for May 20, 1997.
