PART I



Item 1.

Business



General



United Bancshares, Inc. (the Corporation), an Ohio corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Board).  The Corporation was incorporated and organized in 1985.  The executive offices of the Corporation are located at 100 S. High Street, Columbus Grove, Ohio 45830.  As of December 31, 2004, the Corporation employs approximately 165 employees.  On March 7, 2003, following the receipt of approval from the appropriate regulatory authorities, the Corporation collapsed the charters of Citizens Bank of Delphos and the Bank of Leipsic and merged them into the charter of The Union Bank Company (Union).  Following the merger of the Corporations other two bank subsidiaries into The Union Bank Company, the Corporation is now a one-bank holding company, as that term is defined by the Federal Reserve Board.



United Bancshares, Inc. has traded its common stock on the Nasdaq Markets Exchange under the symbol UBOH since March 2001.  From January 2000 to March 2001, the Corporations common stock was traded on the Nasdaq over-the-counter Bulletin Board.





Forward Looking Statements



Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and losses, and other risks.  Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ materially from those currently expected.  Such forward-looking statements represent managements judgment as of the current date.  The Corporation disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking statements.





General Description of Holding Company Subsidiaries and Recent Acquisition



As described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporations Annual Report, The Union Bank Company acquired branches from RFC Banking Company, effective March 28, 2003.  Since the acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, only the operations of the branches subsequent to March 28, 2003 are included in the Corporations consolidated financial information.



Union is engaged in the business of commercial banking.  Union is an Ohio state-chartered bank, which serves Allen, Putnam, Sandusky, Van Wert and Wood Counties, with office locations in Bowling Green, Columbus Grove, Delphos, Gibsonburg, Kalida, Leipsic, Lima, Ottawa, and Pemberville.



Union offers a full range of commercial banking services, including checking and NOW accounts, savings and money market accounts; time certificates of deposit; automatic teller machines; commercial, consumer, agricultural, residential mortgage loans and home equity loans; credit card services; safe deposit box rentals; and other personalized banking services.



The Corporation is registered as a Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act) reporting company.

Competition



The Corporation competes for deposits with other savings associations, commercial banks and credit unions and issuers of commercial paper and other securities, such as shares in money market mutual funds. Primary factors in competing for deposits include customer service, interest rates and convenience of office location. In making loans, the Corporation competes with other commercial banks, savings associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies, mortgage companies and other lenders. Competition is affected by, among other things, the general availability of lendable funds, general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and other factors that are not readily predictable. The size of financial institutions competing with the Corporation are likely to increase as a result of changes in statutes and regulations eliminating various restrictions on interstate and inter-industry branching and acquisitions. Such increased competition may have an adverse effect upon the Corporation.



Effect of Environmental Regulation



Compliance with federal, state and local provision regulating the discharge of material into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, has not had a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Corporation and its subsidiary.  The Corporation believes that the nature of the operations of its subsidiary has little, if any, environmental impact.  The Corporation, therefore, anticipates no material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for its current fiscal year or for the foreseeable future.  The Corporations subsidiary may be required to make capital expenditures for environmental control facilities related to properties, which they may acquire through foreclosure proceedings in the future; however, the amount of such capital expenditures, if any, is not currently determinable.



Supervision and Regulation



Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 - On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the SOA. The stated goals of the SOA are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties within publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws.



The SOA is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in some time. The SOA generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S., that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to many of the SOAs new requirements, the final scope of these requirements remains to be determined.



The SOA includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the Comptroller General. The SOA represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, including the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees.

4





The SOA addresses, among other matters:



*

audit committees for all reporting companies;

*

certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer;

*

the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuers securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement;

*

a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out periods;

*

disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions;

*

a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers;

*

expedited filing requirements for Forms 4;

*

disclosure of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code;

*

real time filing of periodic reports;

*

the formation of a public accounting oversight board;

*

auditor independence;

*

and various increased criminal penalties for violations of securities laws.



The SOA contains provisions, which became effective upon enactment on July 30, 2002 and provisions which will become effective from within 30 days to one or more years from enactment. The SEC has been delegated the task of enacting rules to implement various provisions with respect to, among other matters, disclosure in periodic filings pursuant to the Exchange Act.



Other Statutes and Regulations



The following is a summary of certain other statutes and regulations affecting the Corporation and its subsidiary.  This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.



The Corporation is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, which restricts the activities of the Corporation and the acquisition by the Corporation of voting shares or assets of any bank, savings association or other company.  The Corporation is also subject to the reporting requirements of, and examination and regulation by, the Federal Reserve Board.  Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on transactions with affiliates, including any loans or extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, investments in the stock or other securities thereof and the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans or extensions of credit to any borrower; the issuance of guarantees, acceptances or letters of credit on behalf of the bank holding company and its subsidiary; purchases or sales of securities or other assets; and the payment of money or furnishing of services to the bank holding company and other subsidiaries.  Bank holding companies are prohibited from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board.  A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with extensions of credit and/or the provision of other property or services to a customer by the bank holding company or its subsidiaries.

5





As an Ohio state-chartered bank, Union is supervised and regulated by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  The deposits of Union are insured by the FDIC and the bank is subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.  A subsidiary of a bank holding company can be liable to reimburse the FDIC if the FDIC incurs or anticipates a loss because of a default of another FDIC-insured subsidiary of the bank holding company or in connection with FDIC assistance provided to such subsidiary in danger of default.  In addition, the holding company of any insured financial institution that submits a capital plan under the federal banking agencies regulations on prompt corrective action guarantees a portion of the institutions capital shortfall, as discussed below.



Various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and the State of Ohio affect the operations of Union, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which may be made and the interest that may be charged thereon, restrictions relating to investments and other activities, limitations on credit exposure to correspondent banks, limitations on activities based on capital and surplus, limitations on payment of dividends, and limitations on branching.



The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies.  The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition and a framework for calculating risk weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories.  The minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%.  At least 4% is to be comprised of common Shareholders equity (including retained earnings but excluding treasury stock), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interest in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets (Tier 1 capital).  The remainder (Tier 2 capital) may consist, among other things, of mandatory convertible debt securities, a limited amount of subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of allowance for loan losses.  The Federal Reserve Board also imposes a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) of 3% for bank holding companies and state member banks that meet certain specified conditions, including having the highest regulatory rating.  The minimum leverage ratio is 1%-2% higher for other bank holding companies and state member banks based on their particular circumstances and risk profiles and for those banks experiencing or anticipating significant growth.  State non-member bank subsidiaries, such as Union are subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.



The Corporation and its subsidiary currently satisfy all capital requirements.  Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of enforcement remedies available to federal and state regulatory authorities, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.  The trust preferred securities issued in 2003, as described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporations Annual Report, currently qualify as Tier I capital for regulatory purposes.  However, it is possible that regulations could change so that such securities do not qualify.



The federal banking regulators have established regulations governing prompt corrective action to resolve capital deficient banks.  Under these regulations, institutions, which become undercapitalized, become subject to mandatory regulatory scrutiny and limitations that increase as capital decreases.  Such institutions are also required to file capital plans with their primary federal regulator, and their holding companies must guarantee the capital shortfall up to 5% of the assets of the capital deficient institution at the time it becomes undercapitalized.

6





The ability of a bank holding company to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements is largely dependent on the amount of dividends that may be declared by its subsidiary bank and other subsidiaries.  However, the Federal Reserve Board expects the Corporation to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary bank, which may require it to retain capital for further investment in the subsidiary, rather than for dividends for shareholders of the Corporation.  Union may not pay dividends to the Corporation if, after paying such dividends, it would fail to meet the required minimum levels under the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum leverage ratio requirements.  Union must have the approval of its regulatory authorities if a dividend in any year would cause the total dividends for that year to exceed the sum of the current years net income and the retained net income for the preceding two years, less required transfers to surplus.  Payment of dividends by a bank subsidiary may be restricted at any time at the discretion of the regulatory authorities, if they deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or unsound banking practice.  These provisions could have the effect of limiting the Corporations ability to pay dividends on its outstanding common shares.





Deposit Insurance Assessments and Recent Legislation



The FDIC is authorized to establish separate annual assessment rates for deposit insurance for members of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), of which The Union Bank Company is a member.  The FDIC may increase assessment rates for the fund if necessary to restore the funds ratio of reserves to insured deposits to its target level within a reasonable time and may decrease such rates if such target level has been met.  The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment system for BIF members.  Under this system, assessments vary based on the risk the institution poses to its deposit insurance fund.  The risk level is determined based on the institutions capital level and the FDICs level of supervisory concern about the institution.





Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions



The commercial banking business is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions primarily through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits.  These policies and regulations significantly affect the overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans as well as the interest rates paid on deposits and accounts.



The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to have significant effects in the future.  In view of the changing conditions in the economy and the money market and the activities of monetary and fiscal authorities, no definitive predictions can be made as to future changes in interest rates, credit availability or deposit level.

C.

The following tables set forth the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expenses for the periods indicated.  For purposes of these tables, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows:

Volume variance - change in volume multiplied by the previous years rate.

Rate variance - change in rate multiplied by the previous years volume.

Rate/volume variance - change in volume multiplied by the change in rate.

This variance was allocated to volume variances and rate variances in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in each.

Interest on non-taxable securities has been adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis using a statutory tax rate of 34% in all years presented.

1.

Discussion of the non-accrual policy

The accrual of interest income is discontinued when the collection of a loan or interest, in whole or in part, is doubtful.  When the accrual of  interest is discontinued, all interest income accrued but uncollected is reversed.  While loans which are past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments are considered for non-accrual status, management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral, in managements judgment, is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest.  These policies apply to both commercial and real estate loans.



2.

Potential problem loans

As of December 31, 2004, in addition to the $2,842,000 of loans reported under Item III. C, there are approximately $12,302,000 in other outstanding loans where known information causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans pursuant to Item III. C, at some future date.  Consideration was given to loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed in Item III. C above.  To the extent that such loans are not included in the $12,302,000 in potential problem loans described above, management believes that such loans will not materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.



3.

Foreign outstandings

None



4.

Loan concentrations

At December 31, 2004, loans outstanding relating to agricultural operations or collateralized by agricultural real estate aggregated approximately $52,529,000.  At December 31, 2004, there were $414,000 in agricultural commercial loans, which were accounted for on a non-accrual basis; and there were $177,000 accruing agricultural commercial loans which were contractually past due ninety days or more as to interest or principal payments.



D.

Other interest-bearing assets

As of December 31, 2004, there were no other interest-bearing assets that are required to be disclosed.

Including loans held for sale.

The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision for loan losses are judgmentally determined by management based upon periodic reviews of the loan portfolio.  In addition, management considered the level of charge-offs on loans as well as the fluctuations of charge-offs and recoveries on loans including the factors, which caused these changes.  Estimating the risk of loans and the amount of loss is necessarily subjective.  Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral value and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time.
