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.

On May 21, 2018, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire SWNB Bancorp, Inc. (“SWNB”), a privately-held bank holding company for Southwestern National Bank, headquartered in Houston, Texas. With total assets of approximately $411 million, SWNB has six retail banking branches located in Houston, Dallas and Austin, Texas. The aggregate consideration for this transaction is estimated at $76.7 million based on the agreement as of the announcement date and the transaction is expected to close late in the third quarter of 2018.

The Board of Directors of the Company and SWNB have approved the transaction. The directors and executive officers of SWNB have also entered into an agreement with the Company pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares of SWNB common stock in favor the transaction. Closing of the transaction is contingent upon approval by SWNB's shareholders as well as customary regulatory approvals.

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 June 30, 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 prepared in conformity with GAAP and 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.

Effective January 1, 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 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 statements.
