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 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 equity of $1.27 billion, $1.17 billion and $93.3 million, respectively. Total loans and deposits were $297.3 million and $1.1 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. Following the acquisition, Hanmi Bank has expanded its geographic presence through a network of 49 branches located throughout the United States. Key strategic benefits of the merger include 1) access to highly attractive markets with large Asian-American communities, creating business opportunities by leveraging Hanmi Bank’s brand and business strategies, 2) ability to realize significant cost savings and operational efficiencies for the combined company, and 3) opportunity to prudently deploy capital at an attractive return for our shareholders.

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 acquisition date. The Company made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in estimating the fair values and accounting for such acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Such fair values are preliminary estimates and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the acquisition date or when additional information relative to the closing date fair values becomes available and such information is considered final, whichever is earlier. The fair values are based on provisional valuation estimates of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The valuation of acquired loans, income taxes and the core deposit intangibles are based on a preliminary estimate and are subject to change as the provisional amounts are finalized. Such changes to the preliminary estimates during the measurement period are recorded as retrospective adjustments to the consolidated financial statements. During the measurement period, the Company identified retrospective adjustments to certain of the provisional amounts recorded that had the net effect of increasing the bargain purchase gain, net of deferred taxes by $8.0 million.

The following table presents the purchase price allocation reported as of the acquisition date, the retrospective adjustments recorded during the measurement period and the purchase price allocation as remeasured as of the acquisition date:

The provisional 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 through the year ended December 31, 2014. 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. 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 following table summarizes the accretable yield on the PCI loans acquired from the CBI merger at August 31, 2014.

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 expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $133,000.

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 the 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 for certificates of deposit was $11.3 million with $2.3 million amortized for year ended December 31, 2014.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $71,000.
