Look up the PowerRating of USBK and see how it has performed over the past week as well as the current proprietary PowerRating.

PORT CHESTER, NY, Nov 06, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- USBK | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- USA Bank (OTCBB: USBK | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that it has completed the previously announced review of its financial position and strategic options, which included an assessment of current economic conditions and their continuing impact on the Bank's commercial real estate and construction loan portfolio.

Based on this review, the Bank has concluded that its loan portfolio has continuing exposure to the above referenced markets, which will be reflected in an addition to loan loss reserves when the Bank reports its third quarter 2009 financial results in November.

USA Bank has further concluded that it will be in the best interests of the Bank and its shareholders to pursue a transaction with either a strategic or financial partner to provide the capital needed to resume taking advantage of the strong market demographics of the communities it serves. To that end, the bank has authorized its financial advisor, Laidlaw & Company, to commence efforts to identify a partner for the Bank and to assist in the consummation of such a transaction.

The Chairman of the Bank, Fred A. DeCaro III, said, "While there is little doubt that completing a transaction will involve a new partner assuming a controlling interest in the Bank, it is also very clear to the Board that the fundamentals underlying the formation of the Bank remain strong despite the current economic environment."
