Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), a California state chartered bank, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanmi Financial. During the second quarter of 2014, we disposed of two subsidiaries, Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc., a California corporation (“Chun-Ha”), and All World Insurance Services, Inc., a California corporation (“All World”). See “Note 4 — Sale of Insurance Subsidiaries and Discontinued Operations.” On August 31, 2014, Hanmi Financial completed its acquisition of Central Bancorp, Inc. See “Note 2 — Acquisition.”

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 September 30, 2014, 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, 2013 (the “2013 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 fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in Central Bancorp, Inc. (“CBI”) acquisition as discussed in “Note 2 – Acquisition.” The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Central Bancorp, Inc. were measured at their estimated fair values. The Company made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in estimating fair values and accounting for such acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we adopted an accounting policy related to accounting for investments in low-income housing tax credit according to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. See “Note 3 Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects.” During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we completed acquisition of CBI and our acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. See “Note 2 —Acquisition” for more information about the CBI acquisition and “Note 6 — Loans” for accounting policies regarding purchased loans.
