Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was formed as a holding company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”) and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in 2000. Our primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through operation of the Bank.

On August 31, 2014, Hanmi Financial completed its acquisition of Central Bancorp, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CBI”). See Note 2 - Acquisition and Note 6 - Loans for accounting policies regarding purchased loans. During the second quarter of 2014, we sold two subsidiaries, Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc., a California corporation (“Chun-Ha”), and All World Insurance Services, Inc., a California corporation (“All World”). See Note 4 - Sale of Insurance Subsidiaries and Discontinued Operations.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period ended September 30, 2015, but are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be reported for the entire year or any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The aforementioned unaudited consolidated financial statements are in conformity with GAAP. Such interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change include, among other items, the fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CBI acquisition as discussed in Note 2 - Acquisition. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of CBI were measured at their estimated fair values. The Company made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in estimating fair values and accounting for such acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the second quarter of 2014, we adopted an accounting policy related to accounting for investments in low-income housing tax credit according to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. See Note 3 - Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects.

Note 2 — Acquisition

Acquisition of Central Bancorp, Inc.

On August 31, 2014, Hanmi Financial completed its acquisition of CBI, the parent company of United Central Bank (“UCB”). In the merger with CBI, each share of CBI common stock was exchanged for $17.64 per share or $50.0 million in the aggregate. In addition, Hanmi Financial paid $28.7 million to redeem CBI preferred stock immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. The merger consideration was funded from consolidated cash of Hanmi Financial. At August 31, 2014, CBI had total assets, liabilities and net assets of $1.27 billion, $1.17 billion and $93.3 million respectively. Total loans and deposits were $297.3 million and $1.10 billion, respectively, at August 31, 2014.
    
CBI was headquartered in Garland, Texas and through UCB, operated 23 branch locations within Texas, Illinois, Virginia, New York, New Jersey and California. The combined companies operate as Hanmi Financial Corporation and Hanmi Bank, respectively, with banking operations under the Hanmi Bank brand. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The consideration paid, assets acquired and

The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $14.6 million. The operations of CBI are included in our operating results since the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs of $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 were expensed as incurred as merger and integration costs. These expenses are comprised primarily of system conversion costs and professional fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, acquisition costs of none and $1.7 million, respectively, were expensed as incurred as merger and integration costs. The $297.3 million estimated fair value of loans acquired from CBI was determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology considering credit and interest rate risk. Cash flows were determined by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value based on a current market rate for similar loans. There was no carryover of CBI’s allowance for loan losses associated with the loans acquired as loans were initially recorded at fair value.

The core deposit intangible (“CDI”) of $2.2 million was recognized for the core deposits acquired from CBI. The CDI is amortized over its useful life of approximately ten years on an accelerated basis and reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. The amortization of the CDI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $95,000 and $285,000, respectively.

The fair value of savings and transactional deposit accounts was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Expected cash flows were utilized for fair value calculation of the certificates of deposit based on the contractual terms of the certificates of deposit and the cash flows were discounted based on a current market rate for certificates of deposit with corresponding maturities. The premium of $11.3 million was recognized for certificates of deposit acquired from CBI. The amortization of premium for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of subordinated debentures was determined by estimating projected future cash flows and discounting them at a market rate of interest. A discount of $8.3 million was recognized for subordinated debentures, which will be amortized over their contractual term. The amortization of discount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $46,000 and $125,000, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Results of Operations

The following table presents our unaudited pro forma results of operations for the periods presented as if the CBI acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma results of operations include the historical accounts of Hanmi Financial and CBI and pro forma adjustments as may be required, including the amortization of intangibles with definite lives and the amortization or accretion of any premiums or discounts arising from fair value adjustments for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The unaudited pro forma information is intended for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our future operating results or operating results that would have occurred had the CBI acquisition been completed at the beginning of 2014. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions.

Note 3 — Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects

The Bank invests in qualified affordable housing projects (low income housing) and previously accounted for them under the equity method of accounting. The Bank recognized its share of partnership losses in other operating expenses with the tax benefits recognized in the income tax provision. In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects, which amends ASC 323 to provide the ability to elect the proportional amortization method with the amortization expense and tax benefits recognized through the income tax provision. This ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption being permitted. The Bank elected to early adopt the provisions of the ASU in the second quarter of 2014 and elected the proportional amortization method as

10



retrospective transition. This accounting change in the amortization methodology resulted in changes to account for amortization recognized in prior periods, which impacted the balance of tax credit investments and related tax accounts. The investment amortization expense is presented as a component of the income tax provision.

The cumulative effect of the retrospective application of this accounting principle was a $1.1 million charge to stockholders' equity as of January 1, 2012. Net income in the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by $44,000 due to the change in accounting principle.
    
The Bank determined that there were no events or changes in circumstances indicating that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the investment will not be realized. Therefore, no impairment was recognized as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The investment in low income housing was $19.5 million and $21.3 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Bank’s unfunded commitments related to low income housing investments were $7.8 million and $11.9 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. As a component of income tax expense, the Bank recognized amortizations of $592,000 and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively and $592,000 and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Tax credits and other benefits received from the tax expenses were $839,000 and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $821,000 and $1.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Note 4 — Sale of Insurance Subsidiaries and Discontinued Operations

In June, 2014, Hanmi Financial sold its insurance subsidiaries, Chun-Ha and All World, and entered into a stock purchase agreement for their sale. The subsidiaries were classified as held for sale in April 2014 and accounted for as discontinued operations. The operations and cash flows of the businesses have been eliminated and in accordance with the provisions of ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the results are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Hanmi Financial completed the sale of its two insurance subsidiaries to Chunha Holding Corporation on June 30, 2014 when total assets and net assets of Chun-Ha and All World were $5.6 million and $3.3 million as of June 30, 2014, respectively. The total sales price was $3.5 million, of which $2.0 million was paid upon signing. The remaining $1.5 million will be payable in three equal installments on each anniversary of the closing date through June 30, 2017.

The sale resulted in a $51,000 gain, offset by a $470,000 capital gain tax, a $14,000 operating loss and an $11,000 income tax expense. Consequently, the net loss from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2014 was $444,000, or $0.01 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the discontinued operations generated noninterest income, primarily in the line item for insurance commissions, of $2.7 million. They also incurred noninterest expense in various line items of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

All individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 had investment grade ratings upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and the various rating agencies have reaffirmed these securities’ long-term investment grade status as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated.

FASB ASC 320 requires OTTI securities to be written down when fair value is below amortized cost in circumstances where: (1) an entity has the intent to sell a security; (2) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If an entity intends to sell a security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the investments before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the unrealized losses on municipal and corporate bonds are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired, as the bonds are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with the issuers. Interest payments have been made as scheduled, and management believes this will continue in the future and that the bonds will be repaid in full as scheduled. Therefore, in management’s opinion, all securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for the past 12 months or longer as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no impairment charges as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were warranted.

Note 6 — Loans

The loan portfolio includes originated and purchased loans. Loans are originated by the Company with the intent to hold them for investment and are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income. Unearned income includes deferred unamortized nonrefundable loan fees and direct loan origination costs. Net deferred fees or costs are

14



recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or sold. The amortization of loan fees or costs is discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the respective loan and includes prepayment penalties.

Purchased loans, which are loans we have acquired through our acquisition of other banks or purchased from other institutions, are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned discounts or unamortized premiums. All loans acquired in acquisitions are initially measured and recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. A component of the initial fair value measurement is an estimate of the credit losses over the life of the purchased loans. Purchased loans are also evaluated for impairment as of the acquisition date and are accounted for as "acquired non-impaired" or "purchased credit impaired" loans.

Purchased non-impaired loans are those loans for which there was no evidence of credit deterioration at their acquisition date and it was probable that we would be able to collect all contractually required payments. Purchased non-impaired loans, together with originated loans, are referred to as non-purchased credit impaired ("Non-PCI") loans. Purchase discounts or premiums on Non-PCI loans is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of such loans using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or sold.

Purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." A purchased loan is deemed to be credit impaired when there is evidence of credit deterioration since its origination and it is probable at the acquisition date that we would be unable to collect all contractually required payments. We apply PCI loan accounting when we acquire loans deemed to be impaired.

For PCI loans, at the time of acquisition we (i) calculated the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the "undiscounted contractual cash flows") and (ii) estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments (the "undiscounted expected cash flows"). The difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference represents an estimate of the loss exposure of principal and interest related to the PCI loan portfolios; such amount is subject to change over time based on the performance of such loans. The carrying value of PCI loans is reduced by payments received, both principal and interest, and increased by the portion of the accretable yield recognized as interest income.

The excess of expected cash flows at acquisition over the initial fair value of acquired impaired loans is referred to as the "accretable yield" and is recorded as interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the effective yield. If estimated cash flows are indeterminable, the recognition of interest income will cease to be recognized.

At acquisition, the Company may aggregate PCI loans into pools having common credit risk characteristics such as product type, geographic location and risk rating. Increases in expected cash flows over those previously estimated increase the accretable yield and are recognized as interest income prospectively. Decreases in the amount and changes in the timing of expected cash flows compared to those previously estimated decrease the accretable yield and usually result in a provision for loan losses and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses. As the accretable yield increases or decreases from changes in cash flow expectations, the offset is a decrease or increase to the nonaccretable difference. The accretable yield is measured at each financial reporting date based on information then currently available and represents the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the loans.

The Board of Directors and management review and approve the Bank’s loan policy and procedures on a regular basis to reflect issues such as regulatory and organizational structure changes, strategic planning revisions, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming loans, problem loans, and policy adjustments.

Real estate loans are loans secured by liens or interest in real estate, to provide purchase, construction, and refinance on real estate properties. Commercial and industrial loans consist of commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit, and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. Consumer loans consist of auto loans, personal loans, and home equity lines of credit. We maintain management loan review and monitoring departments that review and monitor pass graded loans as well as problem loans to prevent further deterioration.

The majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loans. The Bank has been diversifying and monitoring commercial real estate loans based on property types, tightening underwriting standards and portfolio liquidity and management, and has not exceeded certain specified limits set forth in the Bank’s loan policy.

As of September 30, 2014, there was no allowance for loan losses associated with PCI loans.

The allowance for off-balance sheet items is maintained at a level believed to be sufficient to absorb probable losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the allowance adequacy is based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for off-balance sheet items amounted to $556,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. Net adjustments to the allowance for off-balance sheet items are included in the other operating expenses.

The Company determined that the net adjustments to the allowance for the off-balance sheet items should have been recorded to other noninterest expense rather than the provision for loan losses. Accordingly, the Company has revised the classification of the net adjustments from the provision for loan losses to other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, we utilize an internal loan grading system to identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade, from 0 to 8, for each loan in our loan portfolio. Third party loan reviews are performed throughout the year. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan grade definitions are as follows:
Pass and Pass-Watch: Pass and pass-watch loans, grades 0-4, are in compliance in all respects with the Bank’s credit policy and regulatory requirements, and do not exhibit any potential or defined weaknesses as defined under “Special

20



Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful.” This category is the strongest level of the Bank’s loan grading system. It incorporates all performing loans with no credit weaknesses. It includes cash and stock/security secured loans or other investment grade loans.
Special Mention: A special mention credit, grade 5, has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not corrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects of the debt and result in a Substandard classification. Loans that have significant actual, not potential, weaknesses are considered more severely classified.
Substandard: A substandard credit, grade 6, has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. A credit graded Substandard is not protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, or of the value and type of collateral pledged. With a Substandard loan, there is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful: A doubtful credit, grade 7, is one that has critical weaknesses that would make the collection or liquidation of the full amount due improbable. However, there may be pending events which may work to strengthen the credit, and therefore the amount or timing of a possible loss cannot be determined at the current time.
Loss: A loan classified as loss, grade 8, is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an active bank asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be possible in the future. Loans classified as loss are charged off in a timely manner.

Under regulatory guidance, loans graded special mention or worse are considered criticized loans and loans graded substandard or worse are considered classified loans.

 Impaired Loans

Loans are considered impaired when the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments per contractual terms of the loan agreement, unless the loan is both well-collateralized and in the process of collection; or they are classified as Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) because, due to the financial difficulties of the borrowers, we have granted concessions to the borrowers we would not otherwise consider; or when current information or events make it unlikely to collect in full according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements; or there is a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition that raises uncertainty as to timely collection of either principal or interest; or full payment of both interest and principal is in doubt according to the original contractual terms.
We evaluate loan impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less estimated costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency is either charged off against the allowance for loan losses or we establish a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, loans that are considered impaired are specifically excluded from the quarterly migration analysis when determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses required for the period.

23



The allowance for collateral-dependent loans is determined by calculating the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the value of the collateral as determined by recent appraisals. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans varies from loan to loan based on the collateral coverage of the loan at the time of designation as nonperforming. We continue to monitor the collateral coverage, using recent appraisals, on these loans on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance accordingly.

There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans are included above.

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90

25



days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments become current and full repayment is expected.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total TDRs were $18.2 million and $26.3 million, respectively. A debt restructuring is considered a TDR if we grant a concession that we would not have otherwise considered to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. Loans are considered to be TDRs if they were restructured through payment structure modifications such as reducing the amount of principal and interest due monthly and/or allowing for interest only monthly payments for three months or more. All TDRs are impaired and are individually evaluated for specific impairment using one of these three criteria: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, TDRs were subjected to specific impairment analysis, and $614,000 and $2.9 million, respectively, of reserves relating to these loans were included in the allowance for loan losses.

Includes a modification of $2.2 million through a payment deferral for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we restructured monthly payments on seven loans, with a net carrying value of $2.0 million as of September 30, 2015, through temporary payment structure modifications. For the restructured loans on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, performance and collection under the revised terms are probable.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

As part of the acquisition of CBI, the Company purchased loans for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality subsequent to origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. Outstanding balance of PCI loans, the undiscounted sum of all amounts including amounts deemed principal, interest, fees and penalties, were $33.2 million and $64.3 million, respectively as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Loans accounted for as PCI are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the accretable discount is accreted to interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, PCI loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans. If the timing and amount of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans are classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income is not recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no PCI loans on nonaccrual status and included in the delinquency table below.

At September 30, 2015 and 2014, we serviced loans sold to unaffiliated parties in the amounts of $468.9 million and $341.6 million respectively. These represented loans that have been sold for which the Bank continues to provide servicing.

32



These loans are maintained off balance sheet and are not included in the loans receivable balance. All of the loans being serviced were SBA loans.

FDIC Loss Sharing Asset and Liability

The FDIC loss sharing asset related to the assumption of Single Family and Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement (“SLAs”) between CBI and the FDIC arising from the CBI’s acquisition of Mutual Bank. The loss sharing asset was measured at its fair value as of August 31, 2014 in conjunction with the acquisition of CBI. During the third quarter of 2014, the Bank submitted losses in excess of the stated reimbursement threshold of $611.0 million, increasing the reimbursable percentage to 95 percent from 80 percent. The three-year recovery period for the Commercial Share-Loss Portfolio commenced on October 1, 2014. During the recovery period for the Commercial Share-Loss Portfolio, 80 percent of any recoveries on previously charged-off and reimbursed Commercial SLA loans, less any recovery costs, are remitted to the FDIC. As of September 30, 2015, the FDIC loss sharing liability was $1.2 million and consisted of $1.3 million of FDIC recoveries partially offset by $136,000 of reimbursable expenses. Of the $1.2 million net payable to the FDIC, $1.2 million is payable under the Non-Single Family SLA and $47,000 is due from the FDIC for losses covered under the Single Family SLA.

Note 7 — Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense from continuing operations was $10.6 million and $27.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $20.1 million for the same periods in 2014. The effective income tax rates were 43.09 percent and 41.55 percent, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 19.76 percent and 31.20 percent for the same periods in 2014. Excluding the bargain purchase gain and the merger and integration costs, the effective tax rates were 42.63 percent and 40.34 percent, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Management concluded that no valuation allowance is required for the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company was subjected to audits or examinations by the California Franchise Tax Board for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. Management does not anticipate any material changes in our financial statements due to the results of the audits.

Note 8 — Subordinated Debentures and Rescinded Stock Obligation

Subordinated Debentures

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company assumed CBI’s Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Subordinated Debentures”) with an unpaid principal balance of $26.8 million and an estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The $8.3 million discount will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term. In December 2005, a trust was formed by CBI and issued $26.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities (“TPS”) at 6.26 percent fixed rate for the first five years and a variable rate at the 3 month LIBOR plus 140 basis points thereafter and invested the proceeds in Subordinated Debentures. The Subordinated Debentures will mature on December 31, 2035, however, the Bank may redeem the Subordinated Debentures at an earlier date if certain conditions are met. The TPS will be subject to mandatory redemption if the Subordinated Debentures are repaid by the Company. Interest is payable quarterly, and the Company has the option to defer interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five consecutive years. The amortization was $46,000 and $125,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

Rescinded Stock Obligation

Hanmi Financial assumed a rescinded stock obligation of $15.5 million and related accrued interest payable of $4.5 million at the closing date of the CBI acquisition. The obligation resulted from the issuance of CBI common shares that CBI was not legally authorized to issue in 2010 and 2009. Interest had been accrued on the obligation at statutory interest rates that vary from state to state. As of September 30, 2015, the rescinded stock obligation and related accrued interest payable have been paid in full. The rescinded stock obligation and accrued interest as of December 31, 2014 were $933,000 and $288,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Warrants

As part of an agreement dated as of July 27, 2010 with Cappello Capital Corp., the placement agent in connection with our best efforts offering and the financial advisor in connection with our completed rights offering, we issued warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock for services performed. The warrants had an exercise price of $9.60 per share. According to the agreement, the warrants vested on October 14, 2010 and were exercisable until their expiration on October 14, 2015. The Company followed the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock, which established a framework for determining whether certain freestanding and embedded instruments are indexed to a company’s own stock for purposes of evaluation of the accounting for such instruments under existing accounting literature. Under GAAP, the issuer is required to measure the fair value of the equity instruments in the transaction as of the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance totaling $2.0 million was recorded as a liability and a cost of equity, which was determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected stock volatility was based on historical volatility of our common stock over the expected term of the warrants. We used a weighted average expected stock volatility of 111.46 percent. The expected life assumption was based on the contract term of five years. The dividend yield of zero was based on the fact that we had no intention to pay cash dividends for the term at the grant date. The risk free rate of 2.07 percent used for the warrants was equal to the zero coupon rate in effect at the time of the grant. During the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014, all the stock warrants were exercised and there were no outstanding stock warrants as of December 31, 2014.

Note 11 — Regulatory Matters

Risk-Based Capital

In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved the Basel III regulatory capital framework and related Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes. The rules revise minimum capital requirements and adjust prompt corrective action thresholds. The rules also revise the regulatory capital elements, add a new common equity Tier I capital ratio, and increase the minimum Tier I capital ratio requirement. The revisions permit banking organizations to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, a new rule on the capital conservation buffer will be implemented beginning January 1, 2016. Under the final rules, institutions are subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if certain capital levels fall below newly required amounts. The rules became effective January 1, 2015 for smaller, non-complex banking organizations with full implementation of certain deductions and adjustments to regulatory capital through January 1, 2019. All prior period data is based on Basel I rules.

Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.


36



Fair value is used on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes.

We record securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans, OREO, and other intangible assets, are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument below:

Securities available for sale - The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curve, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Level 1 securities include U.S. treasury securities and mutual funds that are traded on an active exchange or by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. The fair value of these securities is determined by quoted prices on an active exchange or over-the-counter market. Level 2 securities primarily include mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government agency securities, SBA loan pool securities, municipal bonds and corporate bonds in markets that are not active. In determining the fair value of the securities categorized as Level 2, we obtain reports from nationally recognized broker-dealers detailing the fair value of each investment security held as of each reporting date. The broker-dealers use prices obtained from nationally recognized pricing services to value our fixed income securities. The fair value of the municipal bonds is determined based on a proprietary model maintained by the broker-dealers. We review the prices obtained for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and also consider any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and as they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 securities are instruments that are not traded in the market. As such, no observable market data for the instrument is available, which necessitates the use of significant unobservable inputs.

SBA loans held for sale - SBA loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $4.9 million and $5.5 million SBA loans held for sale, respectively. Management obtains quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At September 30, 2015, the entire balance of SBA loans held for sale was recorded at its cost. We record SBA loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.

Impaired loans (excluding PCI loans) - Nonaccrual loans and performing restructured loans are considered impaired for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Nonaccrual Non-PCI loans with an unpaid principal balance over $100,000 and all performing restructured loans are reviewed individually for the amount of impairment, if any. Nonaccrual Non-PCI loans with an unpaid principal balance of $100,000 or less are evaluated for impairment collectively. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent impaired loans are recorded based on either the current appraised value of the collateral, a Level 2 measurement, or management’s judgment and estimation of value reported on older appraisals that are then adjusted based on recent market trends, a Level 3 measurement.

OREO - Fair value of OREO is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and result in a Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals are required annually and may be updated more frequently as circumstances require and the fair value adjustments are made to OREO based on the updated appraised value of the property.

Nonperforming loans held for sale - We reclassify certain nonperforming loans as held for sale when we decide to sell those loans. The fair value of nonperforming loans held for sale is generally based upon the quotes, bids or sales contract prices which approximate their fair value. Nonperforming loans held for sale are recorded at estimated fair value less anticipated liquidation cost. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have nonperforming loans held for sale, which are measured on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.

basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are discussed above.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Level 1 and Level 2 previously reported as $128.4 million and $931.2 million, respectively. U.S. government agency securities of $128.2 million were reclassified as Level 2 rather than Level 1 as originally classified due to significant other observable inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. Other securities of $22.9 million were reclassified as Level 1 rather than Level 2 as originally classified due to the availability of quoted prices in active markets of the holdings.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it was practicable to estimate that value are explained below:
Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments (Level 1).
Securities - The fair value of securities, consisting of securities available for sale, is generally obtained from market bids for similar or identical securities, from independent securities brokers or dealers, or from other model-based valuation techniques described above (Levels 1, 2 and 3).
Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses - Loans receivable include Non-PCI loans, PCI loans and Non-PCI impaired loans. The fair value of Non-PCI loans receivable is estimated based on the discounted cash flow approach. The discount rate was derived from the associated yield curve plus spreads and reflects the offering rates offered by the Bank for loans with similar financial characteristics. Yield curves are constructed by product type using the Bank’s loan pricing model for like-quality credits. The discount rates used in the Bank’s model represent the rates the Bank would offer to current borrowers for like-quality credits. These rates could be different from what other financial institutions could offer for these loans. No adjustments have been made for changes in credit within the loan portfolio. It is our opinion that the allowance for loan losses relating to performing and nonperforming loans results in a fair valuation of such loans. Additionally, the fair value of our loans may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such loans and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize (Level 3).
The fair value of PCI loans receivable was estimated based on discounted expected cash flows. Increases in expected cash flows and improvements in the timing of cash flows over those previously estimated increase the amount of accretable yield and are recognized as an increase in yield and interest income prospectively. Decreases in the amount and delays in the timing of expected cash flows compared to those previously estimated decrease the amount of accretable yield and usually result in a provision for loan losses and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses (Level 3).

41



The fair value of impaired loans (excluding PCI loans) is estimated based on the net realizable fair value of the collateral or the observable market price of the most recent sale or quoted price from loans held for sale.  The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis.  Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent impaired loans are recorded based on the current appraised value of the collateral (Level 3).

Loans held for sale - Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value, as determined based upon quotes, bids or sales contract prices, or as may be assessed based upon the fair value of the collateral which is obtained from recent real estate appraisals (Level 2). Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustment is typically significant and results in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Accrued interest receivable - The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value (Level 1).
Servicing assets or servicing liabilities - Servicing assets or servicing liabilities are carried at implied fair value. The fair values of the servicing assets or servicing liabilities are estimated by discounting future cash flows using market-based discount rates and prepayments speeds. The discount rate is based on the current U.S. Treasury yield curve, as published by the Department of the Treasury, plus a spread for the marketplace risk associated with these assets. (Level 3)
FHLB and FRB stock - The carrying amounts of FHLB and FRB stock approximate fair value as such stock may be resold to the issuer at carrying value (Level 2). Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that investments in FHLB and FRB stock of $17.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively, should be classified as Level 2 rather than Level 1 as originally classified as ownership of these investments is restricted to member banks, the securities are non-marketable equity investments and purchases and sales of these securities are at par with the issuer. Accordingly, the Company has revised the classification of these investments from Level 1 to Level 2 in the table of fair value measurements as of December 31, 2014.
Noninterest-bearing deposits - The fair value of noninterest-bearing deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (Level 2).
Interest-bearing deposits - The fair value of interest-bearing deposits, such as savings accounts, money market checking, and certificates of deposit, is estimated based on discounted cash flows. The cash flows for non-maturity deposits, including savings accounts and money market checking, are estimated based on their historical decaying experiences. The discount rate used for fair valuation is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on comparable deposits as to amount and term (Level 3).
Borrowings - Borrowings consist of FHLB advances, subordinated debentures and other borrowings. Discounted cash flows based on current market rates for borrowings with similar remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of borrowings (Level 3).
Accrued interest payable - The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value (Level 1).

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit - The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Bank has committed to make the loans (Level 3).

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards under the Company’s 2007 and 2013 Equity Compensation Plans typically vest over three years, and are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the lapse of restrictions. Hanmi Financial becomes entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted shares when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Forfeitures of restricted stock are treated as canceled shares.

Note 14 — Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated on both a basic and a diluted basis. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings, excluding common shares in treasury.

Unvested restricted stock is excluded from the calculation of weighted-average number of common shares for basic EPS. For diluted EPS, weighted-average number of common shares included the impact of restricted stock under the treasury method. The Company amended all restricted stock agreements as of September 1, 2015 to allow for the payment of non-forfeitable dividends on unvested restricted stock, accordingly, we adopted the two-class method for EPS calculation pursuant to ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Unvested restricted stock containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities prior to vesting and have been included in the earnings allocation in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income, net of income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares. For diluted EPS, weighted-average number of common shares include the diluted effect of stock options.

Note 15 — Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved with on-balance sheet items recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to loan losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, was based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and income-producing or borrower-occupied properties. The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:

Note 16 — Liquidity

Hanmi Financial

Management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its operating cash needs through September 30, 2016.

Hanmi Bank

The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our customers who either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits. As of September 30, 2015, the Bank had $99,000 of brokered deposits assumed in the CBI acquisition.

We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30 percent of its assets. As of September 30, 2015, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $501.1 million and $351.1 million, respectively, compared to $649.5 million and $499.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The Bank’s FHLB borrowings as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 remained the same at $150.0 million , which represented 3.56 percent and 3.54 percent of assets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by the Bank, and the advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and securities and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.

As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank had an available borrowing source of $35.9 million from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, to which the Bank pledged loans with a carrying value of $49.9 million, and had no borrowings as of September 30, 2015. The Bank has a line of credit with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. for repurchase agreements up to $100.0 million. The Bank established unsecured federal funds lines of credit totaling $95.0 million from three financial institutions to support short-term liquidity.

The Bank has Contingency Funding Plans (“CFPs”) designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet its ongoing obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of a liquidity contraction. The CFPs are designed to examine and quantify its liquidity under various “stress” scenarios. Furthermore, the CFPs provide a framework for management and other critical personnel to follow in the event of a liquidity contraction or in anticipation of such an event. The CFPs address authority for activation and decision making, liquidity options and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of a liquidity contraction.

Note 17 — Segment Reporting

Through our branch network and lending units, we provide a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies. These services include demand, time and savings deposits; and real estate, commercial and industrial and consumer lending. While our chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of our various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, we consider all of our operations to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Note 18 — Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial data included herein. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, or would be required to be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) as of September 30, 2015.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015 (this “Report”).

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements in this Report other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements about anticipated future operating and financial performance, financial position and liquidity, business strategies, regulatory and competitive outlook, investment and expenditure plans, capital and financing needs and availability, developments regarding our capital plans, plans and objectives of management for future operations, strategic alternatives for a possible business combination, merger or sale transactions, and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation and statements of assumption underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. These factors include the following: failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations; the effect of potential future supervisory action against us or Hanmi Bank; general economic and business conditions internationally, nationally and in those areas in which we operate, including, but not limited to, California, Illinois and Texas; volatility and deterioration in the credit and equity markets; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; availability of capital from private and government sources; demographic changes; competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain loans and deposits; fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of our interest rate spread; risks of natural disasters related to our real estate portfolio; risks associated with Small Business Administration loans; failure to attract or retain key employees; changes in governmental regulation; enforcement actions against us and litigation we may become a party to; ability of Hanmi Bank to make distributions to Hanmi Financial, which is restricted by certain factors, including Hanmi Bank's retained earnings, net income, prior distributions made, and certain other financial tests; ability to successfully and efficiently integrate the operations of banks and other institutions we acquire; adequacy of our allowance for loan losses; credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and the ability of our borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans and other terms of credit agreements; our ability to control expenses; and changes in securities markets. In addition, for a discussion of some of the other factors that might cause such a difference, see the discussion contained in this Report under the heading “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Also see “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Interest Rate Risk Management” and “Capital Resources and Liquidity” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as other factors we identify from time to time in our periodic reports, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date, on which such statements were made, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. In addition to our significant accounting policies described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the third quarter of 2014, we applied ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 310‑30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, due to the acquisition of CBI. See Note 2 -Acquisition and Note 6 - Loans for accounting policies regarding purchased loans.

Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these critical accounting policies. For a description of these critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We use estimates and assumptions based

48



on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of Hanmi Financial’s Board of Directors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Tangible Stockholders’ Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio

Tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in analyzing Hanmi Financial’s capital strength. Tangible equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi Financial. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Results of Operations

CBI Acquisition’s Impact on Earnings Performance


51



The comparability of financial information is affected by our acquisition of CBI on August 31, 2014 ($1.27 billion in assets). The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the related operating results have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective acquisition date. See Note 2 - Acquisition.

Net Interest Income

Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and fees derived from earning assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by changes to interest rates, the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.

Interest income increased $5.5 million, or 15.8 percent, to $40.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $34.6 million for the same period in 2014. Interest expense increased $565,000, or 16.3 percent, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $3.5 million for the same period in 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, net interest income before provision for loan losses was $36.0 million and $31.1 million, respectively. The increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to growth in average loan balances acquired in the CBI acquisition, offset by increase in time deposits assumed in the CBI acquisition. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were 3.57 percent and 3.80 percent, respectively, compared to 3.47 percent and 3.72 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2014.


54



Average loans increased $395.4 million, or 15.8 percent, to $2.90 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.50 billion for the same period in 2014. Average securities increased $274,000, or 0.01 percent, to $721.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $721.2 million for the same period in 2014. Average interest-earning assets increased $438.40 million, or 13.2 percent, to $3.76 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $3.32 billion for the same period in 2014. The increase in average interest-earning assets was due mainly to loans and securities acquired in the CBI acquisition. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $358.4 million to $2.43 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2.08 billion for the same period in 2014. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from deposit assumed in the CBI acquisition, partially offset by reduction of high-cost time deposits.

The average yield on loans increased to 5.00 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.91 percent for the same period in 2014, primarily due to a 18 basis point increase in discount accretion on purchased loans. The average yield on securities decreased to 1.60 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 1.75 percent for the same period in 2014, attributable primarily to increases in lower yielding securities acquired in the CBI acquisition. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 10 basis points to 4.23 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.13 percent for the same period in 2014, due mainly to the increased yield related to discount accretion on loans acquired in the CBI acquisition. The average cost on interest-bearing liabilities remained the same at 0.66 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and the same period in 2014.

The increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to growth in average loan balances and securities acquired in the CBI acquisition, partially offset by increase in time deposits assumed in the CBI acquisition. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 3.67 percent and 3.89 percent, respectively, compared to 3.53 percent and 3.80 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2014.

Average loans increased $499.4 million, or 21.2 percent, to $2.85 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.35 billion for the same period in 2014. Average securities increased $258.1 million, or 44.7 percent, to $834.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $576.8 million for the same period in 2014. Average interest-earning assets increased $801.6 million, or 26.7 percent, to $3.80 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $3.00 billion for the same period in 2014. The increase in average interest-earning assets was due mainly to loans and securities acquired in the CBI acquisition. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $663.4 million to $2.51 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.85 billion for the same period in 2014. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from deposits assumed in the CBI acquisition, partially offset by reduction of high-cost time deposits.

The average yield on loans increased to 5.18 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.87 percent for the same period in 2014, primarily due to a 43 basis point increase in discount accretion on purchased loans. The average yield on securities decreased to 1.56 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 1.89 percent for the same period in 2014, attributable primarily to increases in lower yielding securities acquired in the CBI acquisition. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 6 basis points to 4.31 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.25 percent for the same period in 2014, due mainly to the increased yield related to discount accretion on loans acquired in the CBI acquisition. The average cost on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 8 basis points to 0.64 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 0.72 percent for the same period in 2014, due primarily to $4.5 million amortization of time deposit premiums acquired in the CBI acquisition.

Provision for Loan Losses

In anticipation of credit risks inherent in our lending business, we set aside an allowance for loan losses through charges to earnings. These charges are made not only for our outstanding loan portfolio, but also for off-balance sheet items, such as commitments to extend credit, or letters of credit. The charges made for our outstanding loan portfolio are recorded to the allowance for loan losses, whereas charges for off-balance sheet items are recorded to the reserve for off-balance sheet items, and are presented as a component of other liabilities.

Allowance for loan losses decreased $4.8 million, or 9.4 percent, to $46.4 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $51.2 million as of September 30, 2014. The decrease in allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014 was due primarily to improvements in historical loss rates, lower impairment reserves on Non-PCI loans and improved qualitative factor trends, partially offset by increases in impairment reserves for PCI loans. Therefore, negative provisions for loan losses of $3.7 million and $7.8 million were recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to a provision for loan losses of $48,000 and a negative provision of $7.5 million for the same periods in 2014. See “Nonperforming Assets” and “Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items” for further details.

Financial Condition

Securities

Securities are classified as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading in accordance with GAAP. There were no held to maturity or trading securities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Securities classified as available for sale are stated at fair value. The composition of our securities portfolio reflects our securities strategy of providing a relatively stable source of interest income while maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity. Our securities portfolio also provides a source of liquidity by pledging as collateral or through repurchase agreement and collateral for certain public funds deposits.

As of September 30, 2015, our securities portfolio was composed primarily of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and U.S. government agency securities. Most of the securities carried fixed interest rates. Other than holdings of U.S. government agency securities, there were no securities of any one issuer exceeding 10 percent of stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Consumer loans include home equity lines of credit.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, totaled $3.00 billion and $2.74 billion, respectively, representing an increase of $262.9 million, or 9.6 percent. Loans receivable before

allowance for loans losses increased $256.6 million, or 9.2 percent, to $3.05 billion as of September 30, 2015, from $2.79 billion as of December 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to increases in commercial real estate loans of $147.8 million, construction loans of $16.7 million, residential property loans of $62.6 million and commercial lines of credits of $33.1 million.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, total loan disbursements comprised of $476.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $72.7 million in commercial and industrial loans, $92.8 million in SBA loans, $88.8 million in purchased residential property loans, $12.0 million in purchased commercial and industrial loans and $7.0 million in consumer loans. The increase was offset by $307.3 million of payoffs and $117.1 million of paydowns and amortization and $65.6 million of transfers to loans held for sale.

Our loan portfolio included the following concentrations of loans to one type of industry that were greater than 10 percent of loans outstanding:

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans (excluding PCI loans) consist of loans on nonaccrual status and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO. Non-purchased credit impaired (“Non-PCI”) loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of us, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When an asset is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual assets may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for nonaccrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management intends to offer for sale.

Except for nonperforming loans set forth below and PCI loans, we are not aware of any loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment terms, or any known events that would result in the loan being designated as nonperforming at some future date. We cannot, however, predict the extent to which a deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increases in general rates of interest, or changes in the financial condition or business of borrower may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to pay.

Includes nonperforming TDRs of $10.4 million and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Nonaccrual Non-PCI loans totaled $23.9 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $25.3 million as of December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of $1.3 million, or 5.3 percent. There were no PCI loans on nonaccrual as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Delinquent loans (defined as 30 days or more past due) were $14.0 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $24.3 million as of December 31, 2014, representing a 42.4 percent decrease. Delinquent loans of $10.5 million and $7.9 million were included in nonperforming Non-PCI loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, loans totaling $15.7 million were placed on nonaccrual status. The additions to nonaccrual loans were mainly offset by the receipt of a $1.5 million in SBA guaranty received, $14.3 million in principal payoffs and paydowns and $2.5 million in charge-offs.

The ratio of nonperforming Non-PCI loans to Non-PCI loans decreased to 0.79 percent at September 30, 2015 from 0.91 percent at December 31, 2014. Of the $23.9 million nonperforming Non-PCI loans, approximately $22.2 million were impaired based on the definition contained in FASB ASC 310, Receivables, which resulted in aggregate impairment reserve of $4.1 million as of September 30, 2015. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans is calculated as the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the value of the collateral as determined by recent appraisals less estimated costs to sell. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans varies from loan to loan based on the collateral coverage of the loan at the time of designation as nonperforming. We continue to monitor the collateral coverage, based on recent appraisals, on these loans on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance accordingly.

As of September 30, 2015, OREO consisted of 17 properties with a combined carrying value of $13.2 million. Of the $13.2 million, $10.8 million were OREO as loans acquired in the CBI acquisition that were foreclosed subsequent to the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2014, OREO consisted of 25 properties with a combined carrying value of $15.8 million. Of the $15.8 million, $15.3 million were OREO as loans acquired in the CBI acquisition that were foreclosed subsequent to the acquisition date.

Impaired Loans

We evaluate loan impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. With the exception of PCI loans, loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as an expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses or, alternatively, a specific allocation will be established. Additionally, impaired loans are specifically excluded from the quarterly migration analysis when determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses required for the period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we restructured monthly payments for seven and fourteen loans, respectively, with a net carrying value of $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, at the time of modification, which we subsequently classified as TDRs. Temporary payment structure modifications included, but were not limited to, extending the maturity date, reducing the amount of principal and/or interest due monthly, and/or allowing for interest only monthly payments for nine months or less.

As of September 30, 2015, TDRs on accrual status totaled $7.8 million, all of which were temporary interest rate and payment reductions or extensions of maturity, and a $170,000 reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses. For the TDRs on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, performance and collection under the revised terms is probable. As of September 30, 2015, TDRs on nonaccrual status totaled $10.4 million, and a $444,000 reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses.

As of December 31, 2014, TDRs on accrual status totaled $13.8 million, all of which were temporary interest rate and payment reductions or extensions of maturity, and an $844,000 reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses. For the TDRs on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, performance and collection under the revised terms is probable. As of December 31, 2014, TDRs on nonaccrual status totaled $12.5 million, and a $2.0 million reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items

Provisions to allowance for loan losses are made quarterly to recognize probable loan losses. The quarterly provision is based on the allowance need, which is determined through analysis involving quantitative calculations based on historic loss rates for general reserves and individual impairment calculations for specific allocations to impaired loans as well as qualitative adjustments.

Prior to the first quarter of 2014, risk factor calculations were weighted at 50.0 percent for the most recent four quarters, 33.0 percent for the next four quarters, and 17.0 percent for the oldest four quarters. In the first quarter of 2014, management evaluated the look-back period and extended the periods to sixteen quarters to continue capturing a period of higher losses that would have been dropped off and to reflect probable losses in our current credit portfolio. Risk factor calculations are weighted at 46.0 percent for the first four quarters, 31.0 percent for the second four quarters, 15.0 percent for the third four quarters, and 8.0 percent for the last four quarters. The change in methodology maintained the Bank’s allowance at a level consistent with the prior quarter.


68


To determine general reserve requirements, existing loans are divided into 11 general loan pools of risk-rated loans, as well as three homogeneous loan pools. For risk-rated loans, migration analysis allocates historical losses by loan pool and risk grade to determine risk factors for potential loss inherent in the current outstanding loan portfolio. As 3 homogeneous loans are bulk graded, the risk grade is not factored into the historical loss analysis. In addition, specific reserves are allocated for loans deemed “impaired.”
 
When determining the appropriate level for allowance for loan losses, management considers qualitative adjustments for any factors that are likely to cause estimated loan losses associated with the Bank’s current portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, including, but not limited to, national and local economic and business conditions, volume and geographic concentrations, and problem loan trends.
 
To systematically quantify the credit risk impact of trends and changes within the loan portfolio, a credit risk matrix is utilized. The qualitative factors are considered on a loan pool by loan pool basis subsequent to, and in conjunction with, a loss migration analysis. The credit risk matrix provides various scenarios with positive or negative impact on the portfolio along with corresponding basis points for qualitative adjustments.

Net loan recoveries are annualized to calculate the ratios.

Allowance for loan losses decreased $4.8 million, or 9.4 percent, to $46.4 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $51.2 million as of September 30, 2014. The decrease in allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014 was due primarily to improvements in historical loss rates, lower impairment loss reserve and improved qualitative factor trends, primarily offset by increases in reserve for PCI loans. Due to the improvements in historical loss rates, lower impairment loss reserve and improved qualitative factor trends, general reserve decreased $1.4 million, or 14.2 percent, to $8.0 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $9.4 million as of September 30, 2014, impairment loss reserve decreased $1.4 million, or 24.9 percent, to $4.3 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $5.8 million as of September 30, 2014, and qualitative adjustment decreased $4.9 million, or 14.2 percent, to $29.9 million, compared to $34.8 million as of September 30, 2014. Reserve for PCI loans as of September 30, 2015 was $3.1 million, compared to none as of September 30, 2014.

Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans decreased 38 basis point to 1.52 percent as of September 30, 2015, compared to 1.91 percent as of September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, a $3.7 million negative provision for loan losses was recorded, compared to a $48,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended September

71


30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a $7.8 million negative provision for loan losses was recorded, compared to a $7.5 million negative provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

An allowance for off-balance sheet exposure, primarily unfunded loan commitments, totaled $556,000 and $1.5 million as of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The Bank closely monitors the borrower’s repayment capabilities, while funding existing commitments to ensure losses are minimized. Based on management’s evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality and prevailing economic conditions, we believe these reserves are adequate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposure as of September 30, 2015.

Includes $375.5 million and $392.3 million of time deposits of $250,000 or more as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Deposits decreased $38.1 million, or 1.1 percent, to $3.52 billion as of September 30, 2015 from $3.56 billion as of December 31, 2014. The decrease in deposits resulting was attributable mainly to $154.8 million decreases in other time deposits and $17.5 million decreases in time deposits of $100,000 or more, offset mainly by $91.6 million increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. The $154.8 million decreases in other time deposits were primarily due to decreases in higher rate time deposits assumed from CBI acquisition.

Core deposits (defined as demand, money market and savings and other time deposits) decreased $20.1 million, or 0.8 percent, to $2.63 billion at September 30, 2015 from $2.65 billion at December 31, 2014. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits as a percentage of deposits increased to 31.6 percent at September 30, 2015 from 28.7 percent at December 31, 2014. We had brokered deposits of $99,000 assumed in the CBI acquisition as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings

FHLB advances and other borrowings mostly take the form of advances from the FHLB of San Francisco and overnight federal funds. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were $150.0 million advances from the FHLB. See Note 8 - Subordinated Debentures and Rescinded Stock Obligation for other liabilities assumed in the CBI acquisition.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk indicates our exposure to market interest rate fluctuations. The movement of interest rates directly and inversely affects the economic value of fixed-income assets, which is the present value of future cash flow discounted by the current interest rate; under the same conditions, the higher the current interest rate, the higher the denominator of discounting. Interest rate risk management is intended to decrease or increase the level of our exposure to market interest rates. The level of interest rate risk can be managed through such means as the changing of gap positions and the volume of fixed-income assets. For successful management of interest rate risk, we use various methods to measure existing and future interest rate risk exposures, giving effect to historical attrition rates of core deposits. In addition to regular reports used in business operations, repricing gap analysis, stress testing and simulation modeling are the main measurement techniques used to quantify interest rate risk exposure.

The repricing gap analysis measures the static timing of repricing risk of assets and liabilities (i.e., a point-in-time analysis measuring the difference between assets maturing or repricing in a period and liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period). Assets are assigned to maturity and repricing categories based on their expected repayment or repricing dates, and liabilities are assigned based on their repricing or maturity dates. Interest-bearing core deposits that have no maturity dates (savings, and money market checking and NOW accounts) are assigned to categories based on expected decay rates.

As of September 30, 2015, the cumulative repricing gap for the three-month period was at an asset-sensitive position and was 23.60 percent of interest-earning assets, which increased from 17.82 percent as of December 31, 2014. This increase was due mainly to a $214.3 million increase in floating rate loans and a $96.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks, mainly offset by a $52.3 million decrease in fixed rate loans, a $41.8 million decrease in floating rate securities and a $13.4 million increase in money market and savings.

As of September 30, 2015, the cumulative repricing gap for the twelve-month period was at an asset-sensitive position and was 8.09 percent of interest-earning assets, which decreased from 8.96 percent of an asset-sensitive position as of December 31, 2014. This decrease was due mainly to a $79.7 million decrease in fixed rate loans and a $52.2 million decrease in floating rate securities, a $46.1 million increase in time deposits and a $11.9 million increase in money market and savings, mainly offset by a $56.8 million increase in floating rate loans and a $96.0 million increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks.

The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital protection through stable earnings rather than maximizing yield. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established within our guidelines.

To supplement traditional gap analysis, we perform simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes. The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the market value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated below). This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, given the basis point adjustment in interest rates reflected below.

Results are not meaningful in a low interest rate environment

The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast, and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Capital Resources

Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, the Board continually assesses projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and levels of risk. Management considers, among other things, earnings generated from operations, and access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional securities, including common stock or notes, to meet our capital needs.

At September 30, 2015, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio of 14.69 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.43 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.43 percent and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.14 percent, placed the Bank in the “well capitalized” category pursuant to new capital rule, which is defined as institutions with total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.00 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratios equal to or greater than 6.50 percent and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00 percent.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

FASB ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investment in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), which will eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB's fair value measurement guidance. Investments eligible for the practical expedient, but for which it has not been applied, will continue to be included in the fair value hierarchy. The effective date for public business entities is fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. Reporting entities are required to adopt the ASU retrospectively. The adoption of FASB ASU 2015-07 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition or result of operations.

FASB ASU 2014-17, Pushdown Accounting (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which allows an acquired entity to elect to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements on a change-in-control event. The acquired entity elects whether to apply pushdown accounting individually for each change-in-control event, and may apply pushdown accounting during the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. Effective November 18, 2014, an acquired entity may apply ASU 2014-17 to future change-in-control events. The Company did not make an election to apply FASB ASU 2014-17 for the acquisition of CBI, which has no impact on our financial condition or result of operations.

FASB ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, was issued to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires that an entity report as a discontinued operation only a disposal that represents a strategic shift in operations that has a major effect on its operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for new disposals (or classifications as held-for-sale) that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, for public business entities and not-for-profit entities that have issued (or are a conduit obligor for) securities that are traded, listed, or quoted on an exchange or an over-the-counter market. For other entities, the ASU is effective for disposals (or classifications as held-for-sale) that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of FASB ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition or result of operations.

FASB ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (Topic 310-40), was issued to define the term in substance a repossession or foreclosure and physical possession in accounting literature and when a creditor should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate property. The amendments in this update are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendment is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within

76



those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of FASB ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition or result of operations.

FASB ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), was issued to permit a reporting entity to make an accounting policy election to account for investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments are expected to enable more entities to record the amortization of the investment in income tax expense together with the tax credits and other tax benefits generated from the partnership. The ASU is effective retrospectively for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. For all entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-01 effective April 1, 2014. See Note 3 - Accounting for Investment in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects for further details.
