Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Note 1 — Organization and 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 the 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, 2018, 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, 2017 (the “2017 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. Material estimates subject to change include, among other items, the determination of allowance for loan and lease losses and various other assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825) and ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Summaries of ASU 2016-01 and 2018-02 and the impact of their adoption are included in Notes 2 and 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively. In addition to other provisions, ASU 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Beginning with the current quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company measured the fair value of certain financial instruments, included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, using an exit price notion.

The Company also adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as of January 1, 2018, as required. ASU 2014-09 replaces existing revenue recognition guidance for contracts to provide goods or services to customers and amends existing guidance related to recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets such as real estate.  See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of the adoption of this new standard on the Company's consolidated financial statement.

All individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 included securities with issuers which have not established any cause for default on these securities. 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. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no impairment charges as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were warranted.

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

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825). This new guidance, among other provisions, amends accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities. We adopted this guidance, as required, in the first quarter of 2018. ASU 2016-01 requires the amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income

10



for equity securities that exist as of the date of adoption previously classified as available-for-sale to be reclassified to retained earnings. The Company reduced the balance of securities by $529,000 as of January 1, 2018, representing the loss related to all of our mutual fund equity securities, which resulted in a net reduction of retained earnings of $382,000 and an increase of $147,000 in net deferred tax assets based on the transition requirements of this standard.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold all of our mutual fund equity securities with gross realized losses of $957,000. The Company recorded a $428,000 net loss in earnings resulting from the sale these securities. The remaining loss of $529,000 related to these sold securities was recorded as a transition adjustment upon adoption of ASU 2016-01 as of the beginning of the period as described in the preceding paragraph. There was a $269,000 net gain in earnings resulting from sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2017, that had previously been recorded as net unrealized gains of $319,000 in comprehensive income.

Securities available for sale with market values of $130.8 million and $130.1 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses is appropriate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan and lease 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 and lease 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, Illinois, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, Georgia and Washington State.

Loan and Lease Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan and lease portfolio, we utilize an internal loan and lease grading system to identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade, from 0 to 8, for each loan or lease in our loan and lease portfolio. Third party loan reviews are performed throughout the year. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan and lease grade definitions are as follows:
Pass and Pass-Watch: Pass and pass-watch loans and leases, 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 and lease grading system. It incorporates all performing loans and leases 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 and leases 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 or lease, 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 or lease classified as loss, grade 8, is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as an active bank asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan or lease 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 and leases classified as loss are charged off in a timely manner.

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

Impaired Loans and Leases

Loans and leases are considered impaired when the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments per the contractual terms of the loan and lease agreement, unless the loan is 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 or lease 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 and lease impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. Impaired loans and leases are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivable's effective interest rate or, as a practical

17



expedient, at the receivable's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan or lease is collateral dependent, less estimated costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan or lease is less than the recorded investment in the loan or lease, the deficiency is either charged off against the allowance for loan and lease losses or we establish a specific allocation in the allowance for loan and lease losses. Additionally, loans and leases that are considered impaired are specifically excluded from the quarterly migration analysis when determining the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses required for the period.
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.
