Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a bank holding company whose subsidiary is Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”). 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.

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 March 31, 2016, 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, 2015 (the “2015 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 determination of allowance for loan losses and various other assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

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 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are included in the table shown below based on their contractual maturities.

All individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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

10


investment grade status as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated.

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 securities before the recovery of their 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no impairment charges as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were warranted.

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities and proceeds from sales of securities were as follows for the periods indicated:

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, there was no gain or loss included in earnings resulting from the sale of securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, there was a $2.2 million net gain in earnings resulting from the sale of securities that had previously been recorded as net unrealized gains of $535,000 in comprehensive income.

Securities available for sale with market values of $70.2 million and $72.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. However, the allowance is an estimate that is inherently uncertain and depends on the outcome of future events. Management’s estimates are based on previous loss experience; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; the value of collateral; and current economic conditions. Our lending is concentrated generally in real estate, commercial, SBA and trade finance lending to small and middle market businesses primarily in California, Texas and Illinois.

Loan 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 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.
