Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On January 31, 2006, United Security Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Security Bancshares, sold its shares of common stock in Pacific Coast Banker’s Bancshares (“PCBB”). The sale, approved by the Bank’s Board in December, was made to accommodate other investor bank’s desiring to purchase shares and serve on PCBB’s Board.

PCBB was formed in 1998 to provide services to community banks. United Security Bank purchased the shares in 1999 and Dennis Woods, President and CEO of United Security Bank, will complete 7 years on PCBB’s Board when he completes the current term this spring.

The net sales proceeds were $2,607,000. After subtracting the book value of $730,000, the resulting pretax gain was $1,877,000. The after tax gain will approximate $1.2 million. United Security Bank owned 5,500 shares of PCBB that sold for $475.00 per share less a $5,500 sales charge.

Woods stated, “Its been an excellent investment for the Bank and PCBB will continue to provide the Bank with a number of services. The time has come to let new Directors and Investors participate in managing PCBB and its time for our shareholders to receive a return on their investment.”
