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 liabilities assumed are summarized in the following table:

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.
