Exhibit 99.1
On April 25, 2011, United Bancshares, Inc. issued the following release:
United Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: UBOH – news), a bank holding company headquartered in Columbus Grove, Ohio with consolidated assets of $600 million today announced operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Corporation reported net income of $766,000, or $0.22 per share compared to first quarter 2010 net income of $1,024,000, or $0.30 per share. Compared with the same period in 2010, first quarter 2011 net income decreased $258,000 or 25.2%. The decrease for the quarter, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010, was primarily attributable to a $130,000 decrease in net interest income and a $475,000 increase in the provision for loan losses offset by a $147,000 decrease in non-interest expenses and the related income tax effects of these items.
The Corporation recognized a $1,275,000 provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $800,000 for the same period in 2010. In light of high unemployment and the continued uncertainty of the real estate markets in which the Corporation serves, especially with respect to commercial real estate, management believed it prudent to make the aforementioned provisions to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans has increased to 2.41% at March 31, 2011 compared to 1.34% at March 31, 2010.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, non-interest income was $740,000, compared to $730,000 for the first quarter of 2010, a $10,000 (1.4%) increase. The increase in non-interest income for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to a $21,000 increase in gains on sales of securities, offset by a $12,000 decrease in gains on sales of loans.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, non-interest expenses were $3,776,000, compared to $3,924,000 for the first quarter of 2010, a $148,000 (3.8%) decrease. The decrease in non-interest expenses for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010 was primarily attributable to a $166,000 decrease related to other real estate owned and related asset management costs; a $55,000 decrease in data processing expenses, a $53,000 decrease in deposit premium amortization and a $54,000 decrease in miscellaneous expenses offset by a $91,000 increase in salaries and benefits, and a $54,000 increase in FDIC premium expenses.
Total assets amounted to $600.4 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $612.6 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $12.2 million, or 2.0%. The decrease in total assets resulted primarily from a decrease of $11.9 million (3.1%) in gross loans, offset by an increase in available-for-sale securities of $2.8 million (2.0%). Deposits during this same period decreased $7.0 million, or 1.4% and other borrowings, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings, and customer repurchase agreements, decreased $6.3 million (11.3%).
Shareholders’ equity increased from $55.0 million at December 31, 2010 to $56.2 million at March 31, 2011. This increase was the result of $766,000 in net income, the issuance of 389 treasury shares under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan ($6,000), and a $441,000 increase in unrealized securities gains, net of tax.

United Bancshares, Inc.
Quarterly Report
March 31, 2011
Dear Shareholders, Customers, and Employees,
Recent economic reports suggest that the national economy is improving, but it appears as though our market area is trailing in the recovery. We have seen a decrease in delinquencies over the past two quarters; however, we have continued to increase our allowance for loan losses to recognize the current risk in the loan portfolio. Loan demand remains soft and we have begun to experience net interest margin compression as competition for qualified borrowers has increased.
The Company was able to generate net income of $766,000 or $0.22 per share for the first quarter of 2011, which is a 22% increase over the $0.18 per share earned in the fourth quarter of 2010. This was accomplished with a decreasing net interest margin and a decreasing loan to deposit ratio. Shareholders’ equity increased to $56.2 million as of March 31, 2011. We believe that maintaining strong capital levels will continue to be very important to community banking.
We, as a group, continue to work diligently to produce the best possible results for your institution. As always, your support is appreciated.
Respectfully,
Daniel W. Schutt
President & CEO
