<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">There were issued and
outstanding 5,523,713 shares of United Security Bancshares&#146; common stock on
March&nbsp;26, 2004, which has been fixed as the record date for the purpose of
determining shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the
meeting.&#160; On any matter submitted to the
vote of the shareholders, each holder of United Security Bancshares&#146; common
stock will be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of
common stock he or she held of record on the books of United Security
Bancshares as of the record date.&#160; In
connection with the election of directors, shares may be voted cumulatively if
a shareholder present at the meeting gives notice at the meeting, prior to the
voting for election of directors, of his or her intention to vote
cumulatively.&#160; If any shareholder of
United Security Bancshares gives such notice, then all shareholders eligible to
vote will be entitled to cumulate their shares in voting for election of
directors.&#160; Cumulative voting allows a
shareholder to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares held in his
or her name as of the record date, multiplied by the number of directors to be
elected.&#160; These votes may be cast for
any one nominee, or may be distributed among as many nominees as the
shareholder sees fit.&#160; If cumulative
voting is declared at the meeting, votes represented by proxies delivered
pursuant to this proxy statement may be cumulated in the discretion of the
proxyholders, in accordance with management&#146;s recommendation.&#160; The effect of broker nonvotes is that such
votes are not counted as being voted; however such votes are counted for
purposes of determining a quorum.&#160; The
effect of a vote of abstention on any matter is that such vote is not counted
as a vote for or against the matter, but is counted as an abstention.</font></p>

director, named executive officer or principal shareholder has sole or shared
voting or investment power and shares which such person has the right to

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The independent directors
are responsible for identifying candidates for membership on the Board and
makes determinations as to whether to recommend such candidates nomination to
the Board based on their character, judgment, and business experience, as well
as their ability to add to the Board&#146;s existing strengths.&#160; This assessment typically includes issues of
expertise in industries important to United Security Bancshares, functional
expertise in areas such as marketing, human resources, operations, finance and
information technology and an assessment of an individual&#146;s abilities to work
constructively with the existing Board and management, all in the context of an
assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that point in time.&#160; The independent directors do not have any
written specific minimum qualifications or skills that they believe must be met
by either their candidates or a shareholder-recommended candidate in order to
serve on the Board.&#160; The independent
directors identify nominees by first evaluating the current members of the
Board of Directors qualified and willing to continue in service.&#160; Current members of the Board with skills and
experience that are relevant to United Security Bancshares&#146; business and who
are willing to continue in service are considered for renomination, balancing
the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that
of obtaining a new perspective.&#160; If any
member of the Board does not to wish to continue in service or if the independent
directors or the Board decided not to nominate a member for reelection, the
independent directors identify the desired skills and experience of a new
nominee in light of the following criteria.&#160;
When identifying and evaluating new directors, the independent directors
consider the diversity and mix of the existing board of directors, including,
but not limited to, such factors as: the age of the current directors, their
geographic location (being a community bank, there is a strong preference for
local directors), minority and female representation on the Board of Directors,
employment experience, community representation, public interest considerations
and the implementation of United Security Bancshares&#146; strategic plan.&#160; Among other things, when examining a
specific candidate&#146;s qualifications, the independent directors consider: the
ability to represent the best interest of United Security Bancshares, existing
relationships with United Security Bancshares, interest in the affairs of
United Security Bancshares and its purpose, the ability to fulfill director
responsibilities, leadership skill, reputation within United Security
Bancshares&#146; community, community service, integrity, business judgment, ability
to develop business for United Security Bancshares and the ability to work as a
member of a team.&#160; All nominees to be
considered at the Meeting were recommended by the independent directors in
executive session.</font></p>

success.&#160; To that end, the independent
directors&#146; policy for compensation packages of executive officers consists of
three components: (i) an annual base salary; (ii) the potential to earn
incentive bonuses dependent on United Security Bancshares&#146; performance, and
(iii) stock option awards and salary continuation plans designed to link
shareholder interests with those of executive management by providing long-term

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Base Salary: </font></b>&#160;Effective January&nbsp;1, 1997, a personnel committee of United
Security Bank established a fixed-based salary program whereby the executive
officers base salaries were frozen.&#160;
Future compensation increases were to be achieved through the
performance-based aspects of compensation.&#160;
In establishing fixed base salaries, that personnel committee considered
salaries of comparably sized California banks, as well as local area
banks.&#160; The information was compiled
from a variety of sources including the California Banker&#146;s Association, proxy
materials, and other independent sources.&#160;
However, executive officers may have their salaries adjusted from time
to time as the size, complexity, and earnings of United Security Bancshares
change, in order to ensure that total compensation remains competitive.&#160; The fixed based salary program was reviewed
during 2000, and the base salaries were increased for the CEO and the other
three executive officers as a result of the significant asset and earnings
growth achieved since the plan was first enacted in 1997.&#160; The fixed based salary program was again
reviewed by the independent directors in January, 2004, and the base salaries
were increased for the four other executive officers.</p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Annual Incentives:</font></b>&#160; The independent directors believe that
incentives for officers are a key component for ensuring continued growth in
shareholder value through increased earnings. Accordingly, executive officers
earn bonuses based upon a percentage of United Security Bancshares&#146; net income
each year.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">All executive officers
are entitled to participate in United Security Bank&#146;s ESOP and 401(k) programs
but are subject to more stringent matching bank contributions than other
employees of United Security Bank, as required by regulation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Long-term Incentives:</font></b>&#160; Long-term incentives are provided through
the grant of stock options to certain employees of United Security Bank
including executive officers.&#160; Incentive
stock options are granted at the market value prevailing on the date of grant
and are intended to retain and motivate key management to improve United
Security Bancshares&#146; long-term shareholder value, as the options only have
value if the market price of the underlying stock appreciates after the date
granted.&#160; At December&nbsp;31, 2003,
total stock options that have been granted to key management and remain
outstanding totaled 113,000 shares, including 90,000 to executive officers
other than the CEO (4 total), and 23,000 to other senior management (6 total).</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A component of United
Security Bank&#146;s 401(k)/ESOP recognizes and rewards employee&#146;s contributions to
its successful operation by enabling those employees to acquire a proprietary
interest in United Security Bancshares&#146; common stock.&#160; All employees of United Security Bank are eligible to participate
in the 401(k) Plan upon the first day of the month after date of hire.&#160; Participants are automatically vested 100%
in all employee contributions which they may invest in any of several authorized
investment vehicles, including United Security Bancshares&#146; stock.&#160; United Security Bank contributes funds to
match the employee&#146;s 401(k) Plan contribution up to 5% of the employee&#146;s
eligible annual compensation.&#160; These
contributions are invested in United Security Bancshares&#146; stock and are subject
to certain vesting requirements over a period of six years.&#160; Under the ESOP portion of the plan, United
Security Bancshares annually contributes</font></p>

its inception in 1994 through 2003.&#160;

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">United Security Bank has
established a nonqualified salary continuation plan for five of United Security
Bank&#146;s key employees, including the president and executive officers, which
provides additional compensation benefits upon retirement for a period of 15
years.&#160; Future compensation under the
plan is earned by the employees for services rendered through retirement and
vests over a period of 12 years.&#160; In
connection with the implementation of the salary continuation plans, United
Security Bank purchased single premium universal life insurance policies on the
life of each of the key employees covered under the plan.&#160; United Security Bank is the owner and
beneficiary of these insurance policies.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Since Mr. Woods became
the CEO in 1993, United Security Bank&#146;s performance and competitive position
have improved significantly.&#160; United
Security Bank&#146;s earnings have increased more than 500% since that time, and dividends
have increased every year; a total of 290% over the period.&#160; Total assets have increased more than 480%
during that same period.&#160; Some of this
growth has come from mergers and acquisitions, which in turn have strengthened
United Security Bancshares&#146; strategic position and competitive growth outlook
for the future.</font></p>

executive officers.&#160; During 2000, the
personnel committee targeted Mr. Woods&#146; base salary at the competitive median
for comparable sized California banks demonstrating comparable net earnings as
taken from a variety of reliable sources.&#160;
Mr. Woods&#146; base salary of $239,000 is currently believed reasonable by
the independent directors based upon reference to competitive pay practices and
the previously described compensation approach to executive officers.&#160; The independent directors believe that the
performance based compensation program, as it relates to the CEO, offers
substantial additional compensation incentives to reward Mr. Woods for
successful results.</p>

same short-term and long-term incentive plans as the other executive officers
of United Security Bancshares.&#160; In
addition, the terms of the bonus plan for the CEO are different than the other
executive officers.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mr. Woods&#146; entire
performance based compensation is tied directly to net income of United
Security Bancshares.&#160; Pursuant to the
provisions of the performance based compensation plan for the CEO, Mr. Woods
was awarded a cash bonus totaling $299,027 as a result of United Security
Bancshares&#146; performance during 2003.</font></p>

Each Director Emeritus will be a lifetime position or until a Director
Emeritus shall sell a majority of his or her ownership in United Security

monthly fee of $400, and receive preferential deposit and customer service with
free checking as long as they serve as a Director Emeritus.&#160; Director Emeritus benefits terminate upon
