Item 1.
Business
General
Part I
Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated
on March 14, 2000 to be the holding company for Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”) and is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (“BHCA”). Hanmi Financial also elected financial holding company status under the BHCA in 2000. Our principal
office is located at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, Los Angeles, California 90010, and our telephone number is
(213) 382-2200.
Hanmi Bank, our primary subsidiary, is a state chartered bank incorporated under the laws of the State of California on
August 24, 1981, and licensed pursuant to the California Financial Code (“Financial Code”) on December 15, 1982. The Bank’s
deposit accounts are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) up to applicable limits thereof, and the Bank is a
member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank’s headquarters is located at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, Los
Angeles, California 90010.
The Bank is a community bank conducting general business banking, with its primary market encompassing the Korean-
American community as well as other communities in the multi-ethnic populations of Los Angeles County, Orange County, San
Bernardino County, San Diego County, the San Francisco Bay area, and the Silicon Valley area in Santa Clara County. The Bank’s
full-service offices are located in markets where many of the businesses are run by immigrants and other minority groups. The Bank’s
client base reflects the multi-ethnic composition of these communities. At December 31, 2013, the Bank maintained a network of 27
full-service branch offices in California and two loan production offices (“LPO”) in Washington and Texas.
Our other subsidiaries are Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc. (“Chun-Ha”) and All World Insurance Services, Inc. (“All World”),
which were acquired in January 2007. Founded in 1989, Chun-Ha and All World are insurance agencies that offer a complete line of
insurance products, including life, commercial, automobile, health, and property and casualty.
On December 15, 2013, Hanmi Financial entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Central
Bancorp, Inc., a Texas corporation (“CBI”) and Harmony Merger Sub Inc., a Texas corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hanmi Financial (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into CBI, with CBI as the surviving corporation
(the “CBI Merger”). The Merger Agreement also provides that immediately after the CBI Merger, United Central Bank, a Texas
state-chartered bank and a wholly owned subsidiary of CBI (“UCB”), will merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the
surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”). The consideration to be paid in the CBI Merger will be $50 million in cash, subject to potential
purchase price adjustments. As of December 31, 2013, CBI had $1.4 billion in assets. The transaction is expected to close in the
second half of 2014, subject to approval by CBI’s stockholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Following the
close of the transaction, the combined entity would have approximately $4.3 billion in assets, $2.8 billion in gross loans and $3.8
billion in deposits, based on information as of September 30, 2013, with 50 banking offices and two loan production offices serving a
broad range of communities across California, Texas, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia. See “—Pending CBI Merger”
below for a description of the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction and “Item 1.A. Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the
Pending CBI Merger” for a description of the risks relating to the proposed transaction.
The Bank’s revenues are derived primarily from interest and fees on loans, interest and dividends on securities portfolio, and
service charges on deposit accounts. A summary of revenues for the periods indicated follows:

Market Area
The Bank historically has provided its banking services through its branch network to a wide variety of small- to medium-sized
businesses. Throughout the Bank’s service areas, competition is intense for both loans and deposits. While the market for banking
services is dominated by a few nationwide banks with many offices operating over wide geographic areas, the Bank’s primary
competitors are relatively smaller community banks that focus their marketing efforts on Korean-American businesses in the Bank’s
service areas. Substantially all of our assets are located in, and substantially all of our revenues are derived from, clients located
within Southern California.
Lending Activities
The Bank originates loans for its own portfolio and for sale in the secondary market. Lending activities include real estate loans
(commercial property, construction and residential property), commercial and industrial loans (commercial term loans, commercial
lines of credit, SBA loans and international trade finance), and consumer loans.
Real Estate Loans
Real estate lending involves risks associated with the potential decline in the value of the underlying real estate collateral and the
cash flow from income-producing properties. Declines in real estate values and cash flows can be caused by a number of factors,
including adversity in general economic conditions, rising interest rates, changes in tax and other laws and regulations affecting the
holding of real estate, environmental conditions, governmental and other use restrictions, development of competitive properties and
increasing vacancy rates. When real estate values decline, the Bank’s real estate dependence increases the risk of loss both in the
Bank’s loan portfolio and the Bank’s holdings of “other real estate owned” (“OREO”),which are the result of foreclosures on real
property due to default by borrowers who use the property as collateral for loans. OREO properties are categorized as real property
that is owned by the Bank but which is not directly related to the Bank’s business.
Commercial Property
The Bank offers commercial real estate loans, which are usually collateralized by first deeds of trust. The Bank generally obtains
formal appraisals in accordance with applicable regulations to support the value of the real estate collateral. All appraisal reports on
commercial mortgage loans are reviewed by an appraisal review officer. The review generally covers an examination of the
appraiser’s assumptions and methods that were used to derive a value for the property, as well as compliance with the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”). The Bank first looks to cash flow from the borrower to repay the loan and
then to cash flow from other sources. The majority of the properties securing these loans are located in Los Angeles County and
Orange County.
The Bank’s commercial real estate loans are principally secured by investor-owned commercial buildings and owner-occupied
commercial and industrial buildings. Generally, these types of loans are made for a period of up to seven years based on a longer
amortization period. These loans usually have a loan-to-value ratio at time of origination of 65 percent or less, using an adjustable rate
indexed to the prime rate appearing in the West Coast edition of The Wall Street Journal (“WSJ Prime Rate”) or the Bank’s prime
rate (“Bank Prime Rate”), as adjusted from time to time. The Bank also offers fixed-rate commercial real estate loans, including
hybrid-fixed rate loans that are fixed for one to five years and convert to adjustable rate loans for the remaining term. Amortization
schedules for commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed 25 years.
Payments on loans secured by investor-owned and owner-occupied properties are often dependent upon successful operation or
management of the properties. Repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to the risk of adverse conditions in the real
estate market or the economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including limiting the size of such loans in
relation to the market value of the property and strictly scrutinizing the property securing the loan, which includes vacancy and
interest rate hike sensitivity analysis at the time of loan origination and quarterly risk assessment of the total commercial real estate
secured loan portfolio that includes most recent industry trends. When possible, the Bank also obtains corporate or individual
guarantees. Representatives of the Bank conduct site visits of all of the properties securing the Bank’s real estate loans before the
loans are approved.
The Bank requires title insurance to insure the status of its lien on all of the real estate secured loans when a trust deed on the
real estate is taken as collateral. The Bank also requires the borrower to maintain fire insurance, extended coverage casualty insurance
and, if the property is in a flood zone, flood insurance, in an amount equal to the outstanding loan balance, subject to applicable laws
that may limit the amount of hazard insurance a lender can require to replace such improvements. We cannot assure that these
procedures will protect against losses on loans secured by real property.
4
Construction
The Bank finances the construction of multifamily, low-income housing, commercial and industrial properties within its market
area. The future condition of the local economy could negatively affect the collateral values of such loans. The Bank’s construction
loans typically have the following structure:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
maturities of two years or less;
a floating rate of interest based on the Bank Prime Rate or the WSJ Prime Rate;
minimum cash equity of 35 percent of project cost;
reserve of anticipated interest costs during construction or advance of fees;
first lien position on the underlying real estate;
loan-to-value ratios at time of origination that do not exceed 65 percent; and
recourse against the borrower or a guarantor in the event of default.
On a case-by-case basis, the Bank does commit to making permanent loans on the property under loan conditions that require
strong project stability and debt service coverage. Construction loans involve additional risks compared to loans secured by existing
improved real property. Such risks include:
•
•
•
•
•
the uncertain value of the project prior to completion;
the inherent uncertainty in estimating construction costs, which are often beyond the borrower’s control;
construction delays and cost overruns;
possible difficulties encountered in connection with municipal, state or other governmental ordinances or regulations
during construction; and
the difficulty in accurately evaluating the market value of the completed project.
Because of these uncertainties, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds where repayment of the
loan is dependent, in part, on the success of the final project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and
interest on the loan. If the Bank is forced to foreclose on a construction project prior to or at completion due to a default under the
terms of a loan, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of, or accrued interest on, the
loan as well as the related foreclosure and holding costs. In addition, the Bank may be required to fund additional amounts in order to
complete a pending construction project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminable period of time. The Bank has
underwriting procedures designed to identify factors that it believes to be acceptable levels of risk in construction lending, including,
among other procedures, engaging qualified and bonded third parties to provide progress reports and recommendations for
construction loan disbursements. No assurance can be given that these procedures will prevent losses arising from the risks associated
with construction loans described above.
Residential Property
The Bank originates fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family properties with amortization
schedules of 15 to 30 years and maturity schedules of up to 30 years. The loan fees, interest rates and other provisions of the Bank’s
residential loans are determined by an analysis of the Bank’s cost of funds, cost of origination, cost of servicing, risk factors and
portfolio needs.
The Bank may sell some of the mortgage loans that it originates to secondary market participants. The average turn-around time
from origination of a mortgage loan to its sale to a secondary market participant ranges from 30 to 90 days. The interest rate and the
price of the loan are typically agreed upon between the Bank and the secondary market purchaser prior to the origination of the loan.
Commercial and Industrial Loans
The Bank offers commercial loans for intermediate and short-term credit. Commercial loans may be unsecured, partially secured
or fully secured. The majority of the commercial loans that the Bank originates are for business located in Los Angeles County and
Orange County, and the maturity schedules range from 12 to 60 months. The Bank finances primarily small- and middle-market
businesses in a wide spectrum of industries. Commercial and industrial loans consist of credit lines for operating needs, loans for
equipment purchases and working capital, and various other business purposes. The Bank requires a credit underwriting before
considering any extension of credit.
In contrast with consumer lending, commercial lending entails significant additional risks. Commercial lending loans typically
involve larger loan balances, are generally dependent on the cash flow of the business and may be subject to adverse conditions in the
general economy or in a specific industry. Short-term business loans are customarily intended to finance current operations and
typically provide for principal payment at maturity, with interest payable monthly. Term loans typically provide for floating interest
rates, with monthly payments of both principal and interest.
5
In general, it is the intent of the Bank to take collateral whenever possible, regardless of the loan purpose(s). Collateral may include,
but is not limited to, liens on inventory, accounts receivable, fixtures and equipment, leasehold improvements and real estate. Where real
estate is the primary collateral, the Bank obtains formal appraisals in accordance with applicable regulations to support the value of the
real estate collateral. Typically, the Bank requires all principals of a business to be co-obligors on all loan instruments and all significant
stockholders of corporations to execute a specific debt guaranty. All borrowers must demonstrate the ability to service and repay not only
their obligations to the Bank, but also any and all outstanding business debt, without liquidating the collateral, based on historical earnings
or reliable projections.
Commercial Term Loans
The Bank offers term loans for a variety of needs, including loans for working capital, purchases of equipment, machinery or
inventory, business acquisitions, renovation of facilities, and refinancing of existing business-related debts. These loans have repayment
terms of up to seven years.
Commercial Lines of Credit
The Bank offers lines of credit for a variety of short-term needs, including lines of credit for working capital, accounts receivable
and inventory financing, and other purposes related to business operations. Commercial lines of credit usually have a term of 12 months
or less.
SBA Loans
The Bank originates loans (“SBA Loans”) that are guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), an independent
agency of the federal government. SBA loans are offered for business purposes such as owner-occupied commercial real estate, business
acquisitions, start-ups, franchise financing, working capital, improvements and renovations, inventory and equipment and debt-
refinancing. SBA loans offer lower down payments and longer term financing which helps small business that are starting out, or about to
expand. The guarantees on SBA Loans currently range from 75 percent to 85 percent of the principal amount of the loan. The Bank
typically requires that SBA Loans be secured by business assets and by a first or second deed of trust on any available real property.
When the SBA Loan is secured by a first deed of trust on real property, the Bank generally obtains appraisals in accordance with
applicable regulations. SBA Loans have terms ranging from 5 to 25 years depending on the use of the proceeds. To qualify for a SBA
Loan, a borrower must demonstrate the capacity to service and repay the loan, without liquidating the collateral, based on historical
earnings or reliable projections.
The Bank normally sells to unrelated third parties a substantial amount of the guaranteed portion of the SBA Loans that it originates.
When the Bank sells a SBA Loan, it has an option to repurchase the loan if the loan defaults. If the Bank repurchases a loan, the Bank will
make a demand for guarantee purchase to the SBA. Even after the sale of an SBA Loan, the Bank retains the right to service the SBA
Loan and to receive servicing fees. The unsold portions of the SBA Loans that remain owned by the Bank are included in loans receivable
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank had $151.5 million of SBA Loans in its portfolio, and was
servicing $350.0 million of SBA Loans sold to investors.
International Trade Finance
The Bank offers a variety of international finance and trade services and products, including letters of credit, import financing (trust
receipt financing and bankers’ acceptances) and export financing. Although most of our trade finance activities are related to trade with
Asian countries, all of our loans are made to companies domiciled in the United States, and a substantial portion of those borrowers are
California-based businesses engaged in import and export activities.
Consumer Loans
Consumer loans are extended for a variety of purposes, including automobile loans, secured and unsecured personal loans, home
improvement loans, home equity lines of credit, unsecured lines of credit and credit cards. Management assesses the borrower’s
creditworthiness and ability to repay the debt through a review of credit history and ratings, verification of employment and other income,
review of debt-to-income ratios and other measures of repayment ability. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary
importance, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount. Most
of the Bank’s loans to individual consumers are repayable on an installment basis.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
As part of the suite of services available to its small- to medium-sized business customers, the Bank from time to time issues formal
commitments and lines of credit. These commitments can be either secured or unsecured. They may be in the form of
6
revolving lines of credit for seasonal working capital needs or may take the form of commercial letters of credit or standby letters of credit.
Commercial letters of credit facilitate import trade. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party.
Lending Procedures and Loan Limits
Individual lending authority is granted to the Chief Credit Officer and certain additional designated officers. Loans for which direct and
indirect borrower liability exceeds an individual’s lending authority are referred to the Bank’s Management Credit Committee and, for those in
excess of the Management Credit Committee’s approval limits, to the Board of Directors’ Loan Committee.
Legal lending limits are calculated in conformance with the California Financial Code, which prohibits a bank from lending to any one
individual or entity or its related interests on an unsecured basis any amount that exceeds 15 percent of the sum of such bank’s stockholders’
equity plus the allowance for loan losses, capital notes and any debentures, plus an additional 10 percent on a secured basis. At December 31,
2013, the Bank’s authorized legal lending limits for loans to one borrower were $65.6 million for unsecured loans plus an additional $43.7
million for specific secured loans. However, the Bank has established internal loan limits that are below the legal lending limits.
The Bank seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio by adhering to certain underwriting practices. The review of each loan
application includes analysis of the applicant’s experience, prior credit history, income level, cash flow, financial condition, tax returns, cash
flow projections, and the value of any collateral to secure the loan, based upon reports of independent appraisers and/or audits of accounts
receivable or inventory pledged as security. In the case of real estate loans over a specified threshold, the review of collateral value includes an
appraisal report prepared by an independent Bank-approved appraiser. All appraisal reports on commercial real property secured loans are
reviewed by an appraisal review officer. The review generally covers an examination of the appraiser’s assumptions and methods that were
used to derive a value for the property, as well as compliance with the USPAP.
Allowance for Loan Losses, Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items and Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate to cover the inherent risks of loss
associated with its loan portfolio under prevailing economic conditions. In addition, the Bank maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet
items associated with unfunded commitments and letters of credit, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Bank analyzes its allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. As an integral part of the quarterly credit review process of the
Bank, the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are reviewed for adequacy. The California Department of
Business Oversight (“DBO”), formerly known as the California Department of Financial Institutions, and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”)
may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses through a provision for credit losses based upon their assessment
of the information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Deposits
The Bank offers a traditional array of deposit products, including non-interest bearing checking accounts, interest bearing checking and
savings accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. These accounts,
except for non-interest bearing checking accounts, earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors and
management’s desire to increase certain types or maturities of deposit liabilities. Our approach is to tailor fit products and bundle those that
meet the customer’s needs. This approach is designed to add value for the customer, increase products per household and produce higher
service fee income.
Available Information
We file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Proxy Statements, Annual Reports on
Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments thereto. These reports and other
information on file can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities of the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington D.C., 20549 on
official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room
by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains a website that contains the reports, proxy and information statements and other
information we file with them. The address of the site is www.sec.gov.
We also maintain an Internet website at www.hanmi.com. We make available free of charge throughout our website our Annual Reports
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments thereto, as soon as reasonably
practicable after we file such reports with the SEC. We make our website content available for information purposes only. It should not be
relied upon for investment purposes. None of the information contained in or hyperlinked from our website is incorporated into this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
7
Employees
As of December 31, 2013, the Bank had a total of 437 full-time employees and 17 part-time employees, and Chun-Ha and All
World, together, had a total of 43 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. None of the employees are represented by a union
or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The managements of the Bank, Chun-Ha and All World believe that their employee
relations are satisfactory.
Insurance
We maintain financial institution bond and commercial insurance at levels deemed adequate by management to protect Hanmi
Financial from certain litigation and other losses.
Competition
The banking and financial services industry in California generally, and in the Bank’s market areas specifically, are highly
competitive. The increasingly competitive environment faced by banks is primarily the result of changes in laws and regulation,
changes in technology and product delivery systems, new competitors in the market, and the accelerating pace of consolidation
among financial service providers. We compete for loans, deposits and customers with other commercial banks, savings institutions,
securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, real estate investment trusts, insurance companies, finance companies,
money market funds, credit unions and other non-bank financial service providers. Some of these competitors are larger in total assets
and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets, including foreign-ownership, and/or offer a broader range of financial
services.
Many of our competitors are larger financial institutions that offer some services, such as extensive and established branch
networks and trust services, which the Bank does not provide.
Other institutions, including brokerage firms, credit card companies and retail establishments, offer banking services and
products to consumers that are in direct competition with the Bank, including money market funds with check access and cash
advances on credit card accounts. In addition, many non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive federal or state
regulations that govern bank holding companies and federally insured banks.
The Bank’s direct competitors are community banks that focus their marketing efforts on Korean-American businesses, while
offering the same or similar services and products as those offered by the Bank. These banks compete for loans and deposits primarily
through the interest rates and fees they charge and the convenience and quality of service they provide to customers.
Economic, Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Future profitability, like that of most financial institutions, is primarily dependent on interest rate differentials and credit quality.
In general, the difference between the interest rates paid by us on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings,
and the interest rates received by us on our interest-earning assets, such as loans extended to our customers and securities held in our
investment portfolio, will comprise the major portion of our earnings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond
our control, such as inflation, recession and unemployment, and the impact that future changes in domestic and foreign economic
conditions might have on us cannot be predicted.
Our business is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the “Federal Reserve”), the federal government, and the policies of regulatory agencies, particularly the FRB. The Federal Reserve
implements national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing inflation and combating recession) through its open-market
operations in U.S. government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for depository institutions subject to its reserve
requirements, and by varying the target federal funds and discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions. The
actions of the Federal Reserve in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and affect interest earned
on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The nature and impact on us of any future changes in
monetary and fiscal policies cannot be predicted.
From time to time, federal and state legislation is enacted that may have the effect of materially increasing the cost of doing
business, limiting or expanding permissible activities, or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial services
providers, such as federal legislation permitting affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies and securities firms. We
cannot predict whether or when any potential legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it, or any
8
implementing regulations, would have on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the outcome of any
investigations initiated by state authorities or litigation raising issues may result in necessary changes in our operations, additional
regulation and increased compliance costs.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) was signed into law on July 21, 2010 and
significantly revised and expanded the rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority of federal bank regulators. Dodd-Frank
followed other legislative and regulatory initiatives which were enacted in 2008 and 2009 in response to the economic downturn and
financial industry instability. Dodd-Frank impacts many aspects of the financial industry and, in many cases, will impact larger and
smaller financial institutions and community banks differently over time. Dodd-Frank includes, among other things, the following:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
creation of a Financial Services Oversight Counsel to identify emerging systemic risks and improve interagency
cooperation;
expanded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) resolution authority to conduct the orderly liquidation of
certain systemically significant non-bank financial companies in addition to depository institutions;
establishment of strengthened capital and liquidity requirements for banks and bank holding companies, including
minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements no less than the strictest requirements in effect for depository
institutions as of the date of enactment;
requirement by statute that bank holding companies serve as a source of financial strength for their depository institution
subsidiaries;
enhanced regulation of financial markets, including the derivative and securitization markets, and the elimination of
certain proprietary trading activities by banks;
termination of investments by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Department”) under the Troubled
Asset Relief Program (“TARP”);
(vii)
elimination and phase out of trust preferred securities from Tier 1 capital with certain exceptions;
(viii)
a permanent increase of FDIC deposit insurance to $250,000;
(ix)
(x)
(xi)
(xii)
(xiii)
(xiv)
(xv)
(xvi)
authorization for financial institutions to pay interest on business checking accounts;
changes in the calculation of FDIC deposit insurance assessments, such that the assessment base will no longer be the
institution’s deposit base, but instead, will be its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity and an
increase in the minimum insurance ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent;
elimination of remaining barriers to de novo interstate branching by federal- and state-chartered banks;
expanded restrictions on transactions with affiliates and insiders under Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act
(the “FRA”)and lending limits for derivative transactions, repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing
transactions;
transfer of oversight of federally chartered thrift institutions to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and state
chartered savings banks to the FDIC, and the elimination of the Office of Thrift Supervision;
provisions that affect corporate governance and executive compensation at most United States publicly traded
companies, including financial institutions, including (1) stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation,
(2) executive compensation “clawback” requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges in the event
of materially inaccurate statements of earnings, revenues, gains or other criteria, (3) enhanced independence
requirements for compensation committee members, and (4) authority for the SEC to adopt proxy access rules which
would permit stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as director and have those
nominees included in a company’s proxy statement;
creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), which is authorized to promulgate consumer
protection regulations relating to bank and non-bank financial products and examine and enforce these regulations on
banks with more than $10 billion in assets; and
adoption, on December 10, 2013, by federal bank regulatory agencies, including our primary federal regulator, the
Federal Reserve, of final rules implementing the prohibitions required by the “Volcker Rule” of Dodd-Frank. The final
rules prohibit banking entities from, among other things, (1) engaging in short-term proprietary trading for their own
accounts, and (2) having certain ownership interests in, and relationships with, hedge funds or private equity funds. The
final rules are intended to provide greater clarity with respect to both the extent of those primary prohibitions and of the
related exemptions and exclusions. The final rules also require each regulated entity to establish an internal compliance
program that is consistent with the extent to which it engages in activities covered by the Volcker Rule. The final rules
will become effective on April 1, 2014 with a compliance period that has been extended through July 21, 2015. The
compliance requirements under the final rules vary based on the size of the banking entity and the scope of activities
conducted. Although the Volcker Rule has significant implications for many larger financial institutions, we do not
currently anticipate that the Volcker Rule will have a material effect on the operations of Hanmi Financial or the Bank.
Until the application of the final rules is fully understood, the precise financial impact of the Volcker Rule on Hanmi
Financial, the Bank, our customers or the financial industry more generally, cannot be determined.
9
We cannot predict the extent to which the interpretations and implementation of this wide-ranging federal legislation may affect
us. As a result of the changes required by Dodd-Frank, the profitability of our business activities may be impacted, and we may be
required to make changes to certain of our business practices. These changes may also require us to invest significant management
attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements.
Many of the requirements of Dodd-Frank will be implemented over time, and most will be subject to regulations which have not
yet been implemented or which will not become fully effective for several years. There can be no assurance that these or future
reforms (such as possible new standards for commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending or new stress testing guidance for all banks)
required by Dodd-Frank will not significantly increase our compliance or other operating costs and earnings or otherwise have a
significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Dodd-Frank may result in more stringent capital,
liquidity and leverage requirements, and may otherwise adversely affect our business. For example, the provisions that affect the
payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees are likely to increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place
limitations on certain revenues generated by those deposits. Provisions that revoke the Tier 1 capital treatment of trust preferred
securities could require Hanmi Financial and the Bank to seek other sources of capital in the future.
International Capital and Liquidity Initiatives
The International Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”) is a committee of central banks and bank
supervisors and regulators from the major industrialized countries. The Basel Committee develops broad policy guidelines for use by
each country’s supervisors in determining the supervisory policies they apply. In December 2010, the Basel Committee released its
final framework for strengthening international capital and liquidity regulation, now officially identified as “Basel III.”
Basel III, when fully phased-in, would require bank holding companies and their bank subsidiaries to maintain substantially
more capital than currently required, with a greater emphasis on common equity. Basel III provides for increases in the minimum Tier
1 common equity ratio and the minimum requirement for the Tier 1 capital ratio. Basel III additionally includes a “capital
conservation buffer” on top of the minimum requirement designed to absorb losses in periods of financial and economic distress; and
an additional required countercyclical buffer percentage to be implemented according to a particular nation’s circumstances. These
capital requirements are further supplemented under Basel III by a non-risk-based leverage ratio. Basel III also reaffirms the Basel
Committee’s intention to introduce higher capital requirements on securitization and trading activities at the end of 2011.
On July 2, 2013, the federal banking regulators approved the final proposed rules for a U.S. version of Basel III. The final rules,
among other things, include a new common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets ratio, including a capital
conservation buffer, which will gradually increase from 4.5% on January 1, 2015 to 7.0% on January 1, 2019. The final rules also
raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% on January 1, 2015 to 8.5% on January 1, 2019,
as well as require a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%.
Under the final rules, if an institution grows above $15 billion as a result of an acquisition, or organically grows above $15
billion and then makes an acquisition, the combined trust preferred security debt issuances would be phased out of Tier 1 and into
Tier 2 capital (75% in 2015 and 100% in 2016).
The final rules also provide for a number of adjustments to and deductions from the new CET1. Under current capital standards,
the effects of accumulated other comprehensive income items included in capital are excluded for the purposes of determining
regulatory capital ratios. Under Basel III, the effects of certain accumulated other comprehensive items are not excluded; however,
non-advanced approaches banking organizations, including the Company and the Bank, may make a one-time permanent election to
continue to exclude these items. The Company and Bank expect to make this election in order to avoid significant variations in the
level of capital depending upon the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the fair value of the Bank’s securities portfolio. In addition,
deductions include, for example, the requirement that mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets not dependent upon future
taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one
such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. The Company and the Bank are
currently evaluating the provisions of the final rules and expected impact. The phase-in period for the final rules will begin for the
Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with the final rules entire requirement phased in on January 1, 2019.
Pending CBI Merger
On December 15, 2013, Hanmi Financial entered into the Merger Agreement with CBI and Merger Sub pursuant to which
Merger Sub will merge with and into CBI, with CBI as the surviving corporation. The Merger Agreement also provides that
10
immediately after the CBI Merger, UCB will merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving bank. In conjunction with
the Merger Agreement, certain directors of CBI and UCB entered into voting agreements with Hanmi Financial pursuant to which
they agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of CBI common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “CBI Shares”), in favor of
the Merger Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the CBI Merger, Hanmi Financial will pay
an aggregate merger consideration of $50 million in cash in respect of the outstanding CBI Shares which will be reduced on a dollar-
for-dollar basis (i) by up to $19 million depending on CBI’s ability to realize certain tax refunds arising from CBI’s restatement of
previous years’ tax returns or refunds of prior overpayments, in each case prior to the closing date, or CBI’s 2013 tax liabilities
exceeding a specified amount and (ii) by the amount of certain losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred in the event UCB
fails to secure reimbursements or assurances of reimbursement under the loss share agreements (the “Loss Share Agreements”)
between UCB and the FDIC or the FDIC asserts any clawbacks with respect to prior reimbursements.
Prior to closing, the parties will seek to obtain the agreement of the Treasury Department to the repurchase, as of immediately
prior to the closing, of CBI’s fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued under the Treasury Department’s Capital
Purchase Program (the “TARP Shares”). If for any reason the TARP Shares cannot be purchased prior to closing, the CBI Merger is
conditioned on receiving the approval of the Federal Reserve and the applicable state regulatory authorities to redeem the TARP
Shares following closing.
Each party’s obligation to consummate the CBI Merger is conditioned upon customary matters for a transaction of this nature,
including required regulatory approvals and approval of CBI’s shareholders. The parties currently anticipate that the requisite
regulatory applications will be submitted after the financial information for the first quarter of 2014 becomes available. In addition,
Hanmi Financial’s obligation to consummate the CBI Merger is further conditioned upon, among other things, (i) holders of no more
than 10% of the outstanding CBI Shares having exercised appraisal rights with respect to the CBI Merger, (ii) (A) the consent of the
FDIC to the transaction under the Loss Share Agreements, (B) UCB’s filing all claims certificates required or permitted to be filed
pursuant to the Loss Share Agreements and either the FDIC having reimbursed these claims in full or Hanmi Financial having
received assurances that the claims will be reimbursed and (C) there having not been any clawbacks asserted by the FDIC with
respect to reimbursements under the Loss Share Agreements (provided that in the event items (B) and (C) are not satisfied, the
condition described in this item (ii) will be deemed satisfied if CBI elects to decrease the aggregate merger consideration as described
above), (iii) the carrying value as of the month-end immediately preceding the consummation of the CBI Merger of all loans of CBI
or any of its subsidiaries that are then classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” and assets classified as “other real estate
owned” not exceeding the higher of (1) $160 million and (2) if Hanmi Financial elects in its sole discretion, such higher number as
Hanmi Financial reasonably determines necessary and (iv) CBI having completed its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2013 and Crowe and Horwath LLP having issued an audit report thereon in each case satisfying the applicable rules
and regulations of the SEC.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights including the right of either Hanmi Financial or CBI to terminate the
Merger Agreement if (i) the CBI Merger is not consummated by September 30, 2014, which date may be extended by Hanmi
Financial to December 31, 2014 if the parties have not received the necessary approvals from the applicable regulatory authorities
(the “Drop Dead Date”), (ii) the required approval of CBI’s shareholders is not obtained or (iii) any court or governmental authority
issues an order or takes other action permanently enjoining the CBI Merger or the Bank Merger. The Merger Agreement contains
certain other termination rights customary for a transaction of this nature.
Termination of the Merger Agreement may result in CBI having to pay a termination fee of three percent of the $50 million
aggregate merger consideration, subject to potential adjustment as otherwise described herein in the event that (i) CBI, prior to
obtaining shareholder approval, terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into an alternative acquisition agreement, (ii) a bona fide
acquisition proposal is made to CBI and is not publicly withdrawn and thereafter the Merger Agreement is terminated by either
Hanmi Financial or CBI because (A) the CBI Merger is not consummated by the Drop Dead Date or (B) CBI’s shareholders fail to
approve the CBI Merger or (iii) (A) Hanmi Financial terminates the Merger Agreement because CBI’s board of directors changes its
recommendation to its shareholders, (B) CBI fails to hold a shareholder vote, (C) CBI fails to reaffirm its recommendation to its
shareholders after receiving an acquisition proposal or after the public disclosure of a tender offer for CBI shares or (D) CBI
terminates the Merger Agreement after failing to obtain the requisite vote at its shareholder meeting, provided that the Termination
Fee will be payable under (B) above only if within 12 months of termination CBI enters into an acquisition agreement with respect to
certain business combination transactions or any such combination is effected.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Merger Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2.1 to Hanmi Financial’s Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the SEC on
December 16, 2013.

Supervision and Regulation
General
We are extensively regulated under both federal and certain state laws. Regulation and supervision by the federal and state banking agencies
is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC, and not for the benefit of
stockholders. Set forth below is a summary description of the principal laws and regulations that relate to our operations. These descriptions are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.
Hanmi Financial
Hanmi Financial is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. As a bank and financial holding company, we are regulated by the
BHCA and are subject to inspection, supervision and examination by the FRB. Accordingly, we are subject to the FRB’s authority to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
require periodic reports and such additional information as the FRB may require.
require bank holding companies to maintain certain levels of capital.
require that bank holding companies serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to subsidiary banks and commit resources
as necessary to support each subsidiary bank.
restrict the ability of bank holding companies to obtain dividends or other distributions from their subsidiary banks.
terminate an activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries, affiliates or investments if the FRB believes the
activity or the control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any
bank subsidiary.
take formal or informal enforcement action or issue other supervisory directives and assess civil money penalties for non-compliance
under certain circumstances.
require the prior approval of senior executive officers or director changes and golden parachute payments, including change in control
agreements or new employment agreements with payment terms which are contingent upon termination.
regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt, including the authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements
on such debt and require prior approval to purchase or redeem securities in certain situations.
limit or prohibit and require the FRB’s prior approval of the payment of dividends.
require financial holding companies to divest non-banking activities or subsidiary banks if they fail to meet certain financial holding
company standards.
approve acquisitions of more than 5 percent of the voting shares of another bank and mergers with other banks or savings institutions
and consider certain competitive, management, financial and other factors in granting these approvals, subject to similar California and
other state banking agency approvals, as may be required.
A bank holding company is required to file with the FRB annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and those of
its non-banking subsidiaries. It is also subject to supervision and examination by the FRB. Examinations are designed to inform the FRB of the
financial condition and nature of the operations of the bank holding company and its subsidiaries and to monitor compliance with the BHCA and
other laws affecting the operations of bank holding companies. To determine whether potential weaknesses in the condition or operations of bank
holding companies might pose a risk to the safety and soundness of their subsidiary banks, examinations focus on whether a bank holding company
has adequate systems and internal controls in place to manage the risks inherent in its business, including credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk,
liquidity risk, operational risk, legal risk and reputation risk.
Bank holding companies may be subject to potential enforcement actions by the FRB for unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their
businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation or any condition imposed in writing by the FRB. Enforcement actions may include the
issuance of cease and desist orders, the imposition of civil money penalties, the requirement to meet and maintain specific capital levels for any
capital measure, the issuance of directives to increase capital, formal and informal agreements, or removal and prohibition orders against officers
or directors and other “institution-affiliated” parties.
Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends; Source of Strength
Hanmi Financial is regarded as a legal entity separate and distinct from its other subsidiaries. The principal source of our revenue is
dividends received from the Bank. Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends the Bank can pay to Hanmi
Financial without regulatory approval. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common
stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future
needs and financial condition. The policy provides that bank holding companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the
bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries.
12
The Federal Reserve’s view is that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should
stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or
adversity and should maintain financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its
subsidiary banks. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its source-of-strength obligations may constitute an unsafe and unsound
practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve’s regulations, or both. The source-of-strength doctrine, now codified in the federal
banking statutes pursuant to Dodd-Frank, most directly affects bank holding companies where a bank holding company’s subsidiary
bank fails to maintain adequate capital levels. In such a situation, the subsidiary bank will be required by the bank’s federal regulator
to take “prompt corrective action” including obtaining a guarantee by the bank holding company of a capital plan for undercapitalized
bank subsidiaries. See “Prompt Corrective Action Regulations” below. Additionally, if a bank holding company has more than one
bank subsidiary, the FDIA provides that each subsidiary bank may have “cross-guaranty” liability for any loss incurred by the FDIC
in connection with the failure of another commonly-controlled bank.
Because Hanmi Financial is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank, its right to participate in the distribution of assets
of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. In
the event of a liquidation or other resolution of the Bank, the claims of depositors and other general or subordinated creditors of the
Bank would be entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any obligation of the Bank to its stockholders, including
any depository institution holding company (such as Hanmi Financial) or any stockholder or creditor of such holding company. In the
event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the trustee will be deemed to
have assumed, and is required to cure immediately, any deficit under any commitment by the debtor holding company to any of the
federal banking agencies to maintain the capital of an insured depository institution, and any claim for breach of such obligation will
generally have priority over most other unsecured claims.
Regulatory Restrictions on Activities
Subject to prior notice or FRB approval, as applicable, bank holding companies may generally engage in, or acquire shares of
companies engaged in, activities determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be
a proper incident thereto. Bank holding companies which elect and retain “financial holding company” status pursuant to the Gramm-
Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“GLBA”) may engage in these nonbanking activities and broader securities, insurance, merchant banking
and other activities that are determined to be “financial in nature” or are incidental or complementary to activities that are financial in
nature without prior Federal Reserve approval. Pursuant to GLBA and Dodd-Frank, in order to elect and retain financial holding
company status, a bank holding company and all depository institution subsidiaries of a bank holding company must be well
capitalized, and well managed, and, except in limited circumstances, depository subsidiaries must be in satisfactory compliance with
the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), which requires banks to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they
operate. Failure to sustain compliance with these requirements or correct any non-compliance within a fixed time period could lead to
divestiture of subsidiary banks or require all activities to conform to those permissible for a bank holding company. Hanmi Financial
elected financial holding company status, and Chun-Ha and All World are considered financial subsidiaries of Hanmi Financial.
Hanmi Financial is also a bank holding company within the meaning of Section 3700 of the California Financial Code.
Therefore, Hanmi Financial and any of its subsidiaries are subject to examination by, and may be required to file reports with, the
DBO.
Privacy Policies
Under GLBA, all financial institutions are required to adopt privacy policies, restrict the sharing of nonpublic customer data
with nonaffiliated parties and establish procedures and practices to protect customer data from unauthorized access. Hanmi Financial
and its subsidiaries have established policies and procedures to assure our compliance with all privacy provisions of GLBA.
13
Capital Adequacy Requirements
Under the current capital guidelines, there are three fundamental capital ratios: a total risk-based capital ratio, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio and a Tier 1 leverage ratio. To be deemed “well capitalized,” a bank must have a total risk-based capital ratio, a Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 10 percent, 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. At December 31, 2013, the
respective capital ratios of Hanmi Financial and the Bank exceeded the minimum percentage requirements to be deemed “well-
capitalized” for regulatory purposes. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11 — Regulatory Matters.” The regulatory
capital guidelines and the actual capital ratios for Hanmi Financial and the Bank as of December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Total risk-based capital ratio
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
Tier 1 leverage ratio
Regulatory Capital
Guidelines
Adequately
Capitalized
Well
Capitalized

10.00%
6.00%
5.00%

Financial
17.53%
16.26%
13.66%
Hanmi
Bank
16.84%
15.58%
13.09%
Bank holding companies and banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking
agencies. Increased capital requirements are expected as a result of Dodd-Frank and the Basel III international supervisory
developments. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors.
The current risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks adopted by the federal banking agencies are
expected to provide a measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations for both
transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, such as loans, and those recorded as off-balance sheet items, such as commitments,
letters of credit and recourse arrangements. The risk-based capital ratio is determined by classifying assets and certain off-balance sheet
financial instruments into weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for those categories perceived as representing
greater risks and dividing its qualifying capital by its total risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items.
Under the risk-based capital guidelines, the nominal dollar amounts of assets and credit-equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet
items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0 percent for assets with low credit risk, such as
certain U.S. Treasury securities, to 100 percent for assets with relatively high credit risk, such as business loans.
The risk-based capital requirements also take into account concentrations of credit (i.e., relatively large proportions of loans
involving one borrower, industry, location, collateral or loan type) and the risks of “non-traditional” activities (those that have not
customarily been part of the banking business). The risk-based capital regulations also include exposure to interest rate risk as a factor
that the regulators will consider in evaluating a bank’s capital adequacy. Interest rate risk is the exposure of a bank’s current and future
earnings and equity capital arising from adverse movements in interest rates. While interest rate risk is inherent in a bank’s role as
financial intermediary, it introduces volatility to bank earnings and to the economic value of the institution. Bank holding companies and
banks engaged in significant trading activity may also be subject to the market risk capital guidelines and be required to incorporate
additional market and interest rate risk components into their risk-based capital standards. Neither Hanmi Financial nor the Bank is
currently subject to the market risk capital rules.
Qualifying capital is classified depending on the type of capital:
•
•
“Tier I capital” currently includes common equity and trust preferred securities, subject to certain criteria and quantitative
limits. The capital received from trust preferred offerings also qualifies as Tier I capital, subject to the new provisions of
Dodd-Frank. Under Dodd-Frank, depository institution holding companies with more than $15 billion in total consolidated
assets as of December 31, 2009, will no longer be able to include trust preferred securities as Tier 1 regulatory capital after
the end of a 3-year phase-out period beginning 2013, and would need to replace any outstanding trust preferred securities
issued prior to May 19, 2010 with qualifying Tier 1 regulatory capital during the phase-out period. For institutions with less
than $15 billion in total consolidated assets, existing trust preferred capital will still qualify as Tier 1.
“Tier II capital” includes hybrid capital instruments, other qualifying debt instruments, a limited amount of the allowance for
loan and lease losses, and a limited amount of unrealized holding gains on equity securities. Following the phase-out period
under Dodd-Frank, trust preferred securities will be treated as Tier II capital. The maximum amount of supplemental capital
elements that qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited to 100 percent of Tier 1 capital.
•
“Tier III capital” consists of qualifying unsecured debt. The sum of Tier II and Tier III capital may not exceed the amount of
Tier I capital.
14
Pursuant to federal regulations, banks must maintain capital levels commensurate with the level of risk to which they are
exposed, including the volume and severity of problem loans. The FRB guidelines also provide that banking organizations
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions, substantially above the
minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Federal banking regulators may set higher capital
requirements when a bank’s particular circumstances warrant and have required many banks and bank holding companies subject to
enforcement actions to maintain capital ratios in excess of the minimum ratios otherwise required to be deemed well capitalized. In
such cases, the institutions may no longer be deemed well capitalized and may therefore additionally be subject to restrictions on
taking brokered deposits.
Hanmi Financial and the Bank are also required to maintain a leverage capital ratio designed to supplement the risk-based
capital guidelines. Banks and bank holding companies that have received the highest rating of the five categories used by regulators to
rate banks and that are not anticipating or experiencing any significant growth must maintain a ratio of Tier 1 capital (net of all
intangibles) to adjusted total assets of at least 3 percent. All other institutions are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100
to 200 basis points above the 3 percent minimum, for a minimum of 4 percent to 5 percent. As of December 31, 2013, the Hanmi
Financial’s leverage capital ratio was 13.66 percent, and the Bank’s leverage capital ratio was 13.09 percent, both ratios well
exceeding regulatory minimums.
Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries
Bank regulators are required to take “prompt corrective action” to resolve problems associated with insured depository
institutions whose capital declines below certain levels. In the event an institution becomes “undercapitalized,” it must submit a
capital restoration plan. The capital restoration plan will not be accepted by the regulators unless each company having control of the
undercapitalized institution guarantees the subsidiary’s compliance with the capital restoration plan up to a certain specified amount.
Any such guarantee from a depository institution’s holding company is entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy.
The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank is limited to the lesser of 5 percent of the
institution’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be “adequately
capitalized.” The bank regulators have greater power in situations where an institution becomes “significantly” or “critically”
undercapitalized or fails to submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company controlling such an institution can
be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to consent to a consolidation or to
divest the troubled institution or other affiliates.
Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies
The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before it may acquire all,
or substantially all, of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition the
bank holding company would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the voting shares of such bank. In
approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve is required to consider the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities
to be served, and various competitive factors.
Control Acquisitions
The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company
unless the Federal Reserve has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by
the Federal Reserve, the acquisition of 10 percent or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of
securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute
acquisition of control.
In addition, any company is required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the BHCA before acquiring 25 percent
(5 percent in the case of an acquirer that is a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding common stock of the company, or
otherwise obtaining control or a “controlling influence” over the company.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
The Company is subject to the accounting oversight and corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
which requires, among other things, executive certification of financial presentations, increased requirements for board audit
committees and their members, and enhanced disclosure of controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
15
Securities Registration
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”). We are subject to the periodic reporting, information,
proxy solicitation, insider trading, corporate governance and other requirements and restrictions of the Exchange Act, SEC regulations, and
NASDAQ listing rules and requirements. These requirements and regulations include certain provisions of Dodd-Frank that affect corporate
governance and executive compensation, including: (i) stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation, (ii) executive compensation
“clawback” requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges in the event of materially inaccurate statements of earnings,
revenues, gains or other criteria similar to the requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for TARP CPP recipients,
(iii) enhanced independence requirements for compensation committee members, and (iv) SEC authority to adopt proxy access rules which would
permit stockholders of publicly traded companies to nominate candidates for election as director and have those nominees included in a
company’s proxy statement.
The Bank
The Bank is a California state-chartered bank whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and
regular examination by the DBO, its state banking regulator, and by the FRB, the Bank’s primary federal regulator. Additionally, the Bank must
comply with certain applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Specific federal and state laws and regulations which are
applicable to banks regulate, among other things, the scope of their business, their investments, their reserves against deposits, the timing of the
availability of deposited funds, their activities relating to dividends, investments, loans, the nature and amount of and collateral for certain loans,
borrowings, capital requirements, certain check-clearing activities, branching, and mergers and acquisitions.
The California Financial Code provides that a state-chartered commercial bank has the powers of a California corporation, subject to the
general limitation of state bank powers under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act to those permissible for national
banks. California law also permits state-chartered commercial banks to engage in any activity permissible for national banks, including the many
so-called “closely related to banking” or “nonbanking” activities commonly conducted by national banks in operating subsidiaries or by non-bank
subsidiaries of bank holding companies. GLBA also provides that the Bank may conduct certain “financial” activities in a subsidiary to the same
extent as may a national bank, provided the bank is and remains “well-capitalized,” “well-managed” and in satisfactory compliance with the
CRA. The Bank currently has no financial subsidiaries.
Enforcement Authority
Bank regulatory agencies have the ability to exercise extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities
and examination policies. The regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines to assist in identifying, evaluating and addressing potential safety and
soundness concerns before a financial institution’s capital becomes impaired. The guidelines set forth operational and managerial standards
generally relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting;
(iv) interest-rate exposure; (v) asset growth and asset quality; and (vi) compensation, fees, and benefits. The regulatory agencies have also
adopted safety and soundness guidelines for asset quality and for evaluating and monitoring earnings to ensure that earnings are sufficient for the
maintenance of adequate capital and reserves. If, as a result of an examination, the DBO or the FRB assesses that the financial condition, capital
resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of the Bank’s operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or
its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, the DBO and the FRB, and separately the FDIC as insurer of the Bank’s
deposits, have residual authority to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice;
direct an increase in capital or establish specific minimum capital ratios;
restrict the Bank’s growth geographically, by products and services or by mergers and acquisitions;
enter into informal non-public or formal public memoranda of understanding or written agreements;
enjoin unsafe and unsound practices and issue cease and desist orders to take corrective action;
remove officers and directors and assess civil monetary penalties;
terminate the Bank’s deposit insurance, which would also result in the revocation of the Bank’s license by the DBO; or
take possession and close and liquidate the Bank.
Brokered Deposits
Under the FDIA, banks may be restricted in their ability to accept brokered deposits, depending on their capital classification. “Well-
capitalized” banks are permitted to accept brokered deposits, but any banks that are not well-capitalized could be restricted from accepting such
deposits. The FDIC may, on a case-by-case basis, permit banks that are adequately capitalized to accept brokered deposits if the FDIC determines
that acceptance of such deposits would not constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice with respect to the bank. As of December 31, 2013,
the Bank had no brokered deposits.
16
Community Reinvestment Act
Under the CRA, a financial institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation,
to help meet the credit needs of all segments of the greater community that it services, including low and moderate income
neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an
institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community,
consistent with the CRA. However, the CRA requires federal examiners, in connection with the examination of a financial institution,
to assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of
certain applications by such institution. The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of their CRA ratings. The
Bank has a Compliance Committee, which oversees the Bank’s performance under CRA to ensure that the Bank satisfactorily meets
the lending, service and investment tests by meeting the credit needs of the community, including low and moderate income
communities, consistent with safe and sound operations. The Federal Reserve rated the Bank as “satisfactory” in meeting community
credit needs under the CRA at its most recent examination for CRA performance.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
The Bank is a member and holder of the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLBSF”). There are
a total of twelve Federal Home Loan Banks (each, an “FHLB”) across the U.S. owned by their members who are more than 7,500
community financial institutes of all sizes and types. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its
assigned region and makes available loans or advances to its members. Each FHLB is financed primarily from the sale of
consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. Each FHLB makes available loans or advances to its members in compliance with the
policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the individual FHLB. Each member of FHLBSF is required to own
stock in an amount equal to the greater of (i) a membership stock requirement of 1.0 percent of an institution’s “membership asset
value” which is determined by multiplying the amount of the member’s membership assets by the applicable membership asset
factors and is capped at $25 million, or (ii) an activity based stock requirement (4.7% of the member’s outstanding advances plus
5.0% of the member’s outstanding mortgage loans purchased and held by FHLBSF). At December 31, 2013, the Bank was in
compliance with the FHLBSF’s stock ownership requirement, and our investment in FHLBSF capital stock totaled $14.1 million. The
total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity as of December 31,
2013 were $343.3 million and $215.8 million, respectively.
Federal Reserve System
The FRB requires all depository institutions to maintain noninterest-bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction
accounts. At December 31, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with these requirements.
Prompt Corrective Action Regulations
Pursuant to the FDIA, federal banking authorities are required to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to a depository
institution if it fails to meet certain capital adequacy standards. There are five capital tiers established under the FDIA. They include:
“well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized and “critically undercapitalized.”
A depository institution’s capital tier under the prompt corrective action regulations will depend upon how its capital levels
compare with various relevant capital measures and the other factors established by the regulations. The relevant capital measures are
the capital ratio, the Tier 1 capital ratio, and the leverage ratio. The assessment of a bank’s capital category may not be an accurate
representation of the bank’s overall financial condition. The capital category is determined solely for the purpose of requiring prompt
corrective action regulations and may have no application to the bank’s overall financial condition or prospects for other purposes. A
bank will be: (i) “well capitalized” if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 6.0 percent or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater and is not subject to any order or written directive
by any such regulatory authority to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure; (ii) “adequately capitalized” if
the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0 percent or greater,
and a leverage ratio of 4.0 percent or greater and is not “well capitalized”; (iii) “undercapitalized” if the institution has a total risk-
based capital ratio that is less than 8.0 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0 percent, or a leverage ratio of less than
4.0 percent; (iv) “significantly undercapitalized” if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0 percent, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0 percent, or a leverage ratio of less than 3.0 percent; and (v) “critically undercapitalized” if the
institution’s tangible equity is equal to or less than 2.0 percent of average quarterly tangible assets. An institution may be downgraded
to, or deemed to be in, a capital category that is lower than indicated by its capital ratios if it is determined to be in an unsafe or
unsound condition or if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating with respect to certain matters.
17
The FDIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distributions (including payment of a dividend) or
paying any management fee to its parent holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be “undercapitalized.”
“Undercapitalized” institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. The regulatory
agencies may not accept such a plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely
to succeed in restoring the depository institution’s capital. In addition, for a capital restoration plan to be acceptable, the depository
institution’s parent holding company must guarantee that the institution will comply with such capital restoration plan. The bank holding
company must also provide appropriate assurances of performance. The aggregate liability of the parent holding company is limited to the
lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5.0 percent of the depository institution’s total assets at the time it became undercapitalized and (ii) the
amount which is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards applicable
with respect to such institution as of the time it fails to comply with the plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan,
it is treated as if it is “significantly undercapitalized.” “Significantly undercapitalized” depository institutions may be subject to a number
of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become “adequately capitalized,” requirements to
reduce total assets, and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. “Critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to
the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
The appropriate federal banking agency may, under certain circumstances, reclassify a well-capitalized insured depository institution
as adequately capitalized. The FDIA provides that an institution may be reclassified if the appropriate federal banking agency determines
(after notice and opportunity for a hearing) that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or deems the institution to be engaging
in an unsafe or unsound practice. The appropriate agency is also permitted to require an adequately capitalized or undercapitalized
institution to comply with the supervisory provisions as if the institution were in the next lower category (but not treat a significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized) based on supervisory information other than the capital levels of the institution.
FDIC Deposit Insurance
The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures deposits of federally insured banks and savings institutions up to prescribed
statutory limits, and safeguards the safety and soundness of the banking and savings industries. The FDIC insures our customer deposits
through the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”). Pursuant to Dodd-Frank, the maximum deposit insurance amount per depositor has been
permanently increased to $250,000. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by each DIF member institution is based on its relative risk of
default as measured by regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory factors.
Our FDIC insurance expense totaled $1.2 million for 2013. FDIC insurance expense includes deposit insurance assessments and
Financing Corporation (“FICO”) assessments related to outstanding FICO bonds to fund interest payments on bonds to recapitalize the
predecessor to the DIF. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds mature in 2017. The FICO assessment rate, which is
determined quarterly, was 0.00155% of insured deposits for the year ended December 31, 2013. The total FICO assessment in 2013 was
$155,000.
We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance. If there are additional
bank or financial institution failures or if the FDIC otherwise determines, we may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the
recently increased levels. These announced increases and any future increases in FDIC insurance premiums may have a material effect on
our earnings.
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if it determines that the institution has engaged
in or is engaging in unsafe and unsound banking practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has violated any applicable law,
regulation or order or any condition imposed in writing by, or pursuant to, any written agreement with the FDIC.
Federal Banking Agency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies
Effective June 25, 2010, federal banking agencies adopted the Interagency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies (the
“Compensation Guidance”) to assist banking organizations in designing and implementing incentive compensation arrangements, policies
and procedures that are consistent with promoting the safety and soundness of the organization. The Compensation Guidance covers all
employees who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group. It is based
upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should (i) provide incentives that do not
encourage risk-taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective internal
controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the
organization’s board of directors. Any deficiencies in compensation practices that are identified may be incorporated into the
organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect its ability to make acquisitions or perform other actions. The Compensation Guidance
provides that enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements or related risk-
management control or governance processes pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the organization is not taking
prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies.
18
Some of the considerations used by federal agencies to determine if compensation is excessive include: (i) the combined value
of all cash and noncash benefits provided to the individual; (ii) the compensation history of the individual and other individuals with
comparable expertise at the institution; (iii) the financial condition of the institution; (iv) the compensation practices at comparable
institutions, based upon such factors as assets size, geographic location and the complexity of the loan portfolio or other assets; (v) for
post-employment benefits, the projected total cost and benefit to the institution; (vi) any connection between the individual and any
fraudulent act, omission, breach of trust or fiduciary duty, or insider abuse with regard to the institution; and (vii) any other factors the
agencies determine to be relevant.
In 2011, the FRB and other federal regulatory agencies, including the SEC, proposed joint rules to implement Section 956 of
Dodd-Frank for banks with $1 billion or more in assets. Section 956 prohibits incentive-based compensation arrangements that
encourage inappropriate risk taking by covered financial institutions and are deemed to be excessive, or that may lead to material
losses. The proposed rule would move the U.S. closer to aspects of international compensation standards by (i) requiring deferral of a
substantial portion of incentive compensation for executive officers of particularly large institutions described above; (ii) prohibiting
incentive-based compensation arrangements for covered persons that would encourage inappropriate risks by providing excessive
compensation; (iii) prohibiting incentive-based compensation arrangements for covered persons that would expose the institution to
inappropriate risks by providing compensation that could lead to a material financial loss; (iv) requiring policies and procedures for
incentive-based compensation arrangements that are commensurate with the size and complexity of the institution; and (v) requiring
annual reports on incentive compensation structures to the institution’s appropriate federal regulator. Final rules are still pending.
Loans to One Borrower
With certain limited exceptions, the maximum amount that a California bank may lend to any borrower at any one time
(including the obligations to the bank of certain related entities of the borrower) may not exceed 25 percent (and unsecured loans may
not exceed 15 percent) of the bank’s stockholders’ equity, allowance for loan losses, and any capital notes and debentures of the bank.
The Bank has established internal loan limits which are lower than the legal lending limits for U.S. banks.
Extensions of Credit to Insiders and Transactions with Affiliates
Both the FRA and FRB Regulation O place limitations and conditions on loans or extensions of credit (“Regulation O Loans”)
to:
•
•
•
a bank or bank holding company’s executive officers, directors and principal stockholders (i.e., in most cases, those
persons who own, control or have power to vote more than 10 percent of any class of voting securities);
any company controlled by any such executive officer, director or stockholder; or
any political or campaign committee controlled by such executive officer, director or principal stockholder.
Regulation O Loans:
•
•
•
•
•
must comply with loan-to-one-borrower limits;
require prior full board approval when aggregate extensions of credit to the person exceed specified amounts;
must be made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) and follow credit-underwriting
procedures no less stringent than those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-insiders;
must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and
in the aggregate limit not exceed the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.
Both California law and regulations promulgated by the DBO adopt and apply the provisions of Regulation O to the Bank.
The Bank is also subject to certain restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA, as amended by Dodd-Frank, and FRB
Regulation W, which restrict or limit loans or any extensions of credit to, or on behalf of, any affiliates or purchases of assets from
affiliates, except pursuant to certain limits and exceptions and only on terms and conditions at least as favorable as those prevailing
for comparable transactions with unaffiliated parties. Affiliates include parent holding companies, sister banks, sponsored and advised
companies, financial subsidiaries and investment companies where the Bank’s affiliate serves as investment advisor.
Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on the Bank under the FDIA’s prompt corrective action
regulations and the supervisory authority of the federal and state banking agencies discussed above.
19
Dividends
Hanmi Financial receives income through dividends paid by the Bank. The Bank is subject to various statutory and regulatory
restrictions on its ability to pay dividends. The FRB has advised bank holding companies that it believes that payment of cash
dividends in excess of current earnings from operations is inappropriate and may be cause for supervisory action. It is FRB policy that
bank holding companies should generally pay dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year, and only if
prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. It is also FRB
policy that bank holding companies should not maintain dividend levels that undermine the company’s ability to be a source of
strength to its banking subsidiaries. Additionally, in consideration of the current financial and economic environment, the FRB has
stated that bank holding companies should carefully review their dividend policy and has discouraged payment ratios that are at
maximum allowable levels unless both asset quality and capital are very strong.
In addition, the banking agencies have the authority to prohibit or limit the Bank from paying dividends, depending upon the
Bank’s financial condition, if such payment is deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Furthermore, under the federal
prompt corrective action regulations, the FRB or FDIC may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any dividends if the
holding company’s bank subsidiary is classified as “undercapitalized.” For more information on capitalization, see “Capital Adequacy
Requirements” above.
Any cash dividend from the Bank to its holding company is subject to the California Financial Code, which restricts the amount
available for cash dividends to the lesser of a bank’s retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any
distributions to stockholders made during such period). Where the above test is not met, cash dividends may still be paid, with the
prior approval of the DBO, within specified parameters.
The ability of Hanmi Financial to pay dividends to its stockholders is also directly dependent on the ability of the Bank to pay
dividends to us. Section 642 of the California Financial Code provides that neither a California state-chartered bank nor a majority-
owned subsidiary of a bank can pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount which exceeds the lesser of (i) the retained earnings of
the bank or (ii) the net income of the bank for its last three fiscal years, in each case less the amount of any previous distributions
made during such period. FRB Regulation H Section 208.5 provides that the Bank must obtain FRB approval to declare and pay a
dividend if the total of all dividends declared during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of the
Bank’s net income during the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years.
California Financial Code Section 643 provides, alternatively, that, notwithstanding the foregoing restriction set forth in
Section 642, dividends in an amount not exceeding the greatest of (i) the retained earnings of the bank, (ii) the net income of the bank
for its last fiscal year or (iii) the net income of the bank for its current fiscal year may be declared with the prior approval of the
California Commissioner of Business Oversight.
Bank Secrecy Act and USA PATRIOT Act
The Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) is a disclosure law that forms the basis of the federal government’s framework to prevent and
detect money laundering and to deter other criminal enterprises. Under the BSA, financial institutions such as the Bank are required to
maintain certain records and file certain reports regarding domestic currency transactions and cross-border transportations of
currency. Among other requirements, the BSA requires financial institutions to report imports and exports of currency in the amount
of $10,000 or more and, in general, all cash transactions of $10,000 or more. The Bank has established a BSA compliance policy
under which, among other precautions, the Bank keeps currency transaction reports to document cash transactions in excess of
$10,000 or in multiples totaling more than $10,000 during one business day, monitors certain potentially suspicious transactions such
as the exchange of a large number of small denomination bills for large denomination bills, and scrutinizes electronic funds transfers
for BSA compliance. The BSA also requires that financial institutions report to relevant law enforcement agencies any suspicious
transactions potentially involving violations of law.
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “Patriot Act”) and the regulations promulgated under it significantly expanded the anti-
money laundering and financial transparency laws. The Patriot Act contains significant record keeping and customer identity
requirements, expands the government’s powers to freeze or confiscate assets and increases the available penalties that may be
assessed against financial institutions for violation of the requirements of the Patriot Act intended to detect and deter money
laundering. The Bank has adopted additional comprehensive policies and procedures to address the requirements of the Patriot Act.
Consumer Laws
The Bank must comply with numerous consumer protection statutes and regulations, including the Consumer Financial
Protection Act of 2010, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Equal Credit
20
Opportunity Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act, the National Flood Insurance Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, statutes and regulations regarding unfair,
deceptive or abusive acts or practices, and various federal and state privacy protection laws. These laws and regulations mandate certain
disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with customers when taking deposits, making
loans, collecting loans, and providing other services. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can subject the Bank to various
penalties, including, but not limited to, enforcement actions, injunctions, fines or criminal penalties, punitive damages to consumers, and
the loss of certain contractual rights.
Dodd-Frank provides for the creation of the CFPB as an independent entity within the Federal Reserve. The CFPB is a new
regulatory agency for United States banks. It will have broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement authority over consumer financial
products and services, including deposit products, residential mortgages, home-equity loans and credit cards, and contains provisions on
mortgage-related matters such as steering incentives, determinations as to a borrower’s ability to repay and prepayment penalties. The
CFPB’s functions include investigating consumer complaints, conducting market research, rulemaking, supervising and examining banks’
consumer transactions, and enforcing rules related to consumer financial products and services. Banks with less than $10 billion in assets
will continue to be examined for consumer financial protection compliance by their primary federal banking agency.
Regulation of Subsidiaries
Non-bank subsidiaries are subject to additional or separate regulation and supervision by other state, federal and self-regulatory
bodies. Chun-Ha and All World are subject to the licensing and supervisory authority of the California Commissioner of Insurance.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with the information included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”) and other documents we filed with the SEC. The following risks and uncertainties described
below are those that we have identified as material. Events or circumstances arising from one or more of these risks could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and the value and price of our common stock could decline. The risks
identified below are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to
us, or that we may currently view as not material, may also adversely impact our financial condition, business operations and results of
operations.
Risks Relating to our Business
Unfavorable economic and market conditions could continue to adversely affect our industry. Declines in the housing market,
with decreasing home prices and increasing delinquencies and foreclosures, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage
and construction loans and resulted in significant write-downs of assets by many financial institutions. Unfavorable economic
developments beginning in 2008 have negatively impacted the credit performance of commercial and consumer credit, resulting in
additional write-downs. These write-downs have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with larger and
stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail. The impact on the Bank’s credit quality has stabilized; however, there is a risk that
economic conditions will deteriorate. Further economic deterioration could exacerbate the adverse effects of the difficult market
conditions on us and others in the financial institutions industry. Particularly, we may face the following risks in connection with these
events:
•
•
We potentially face increased regulation of our industry. Compliance with such regulation may increase our costs and limit our
ability to pursue business opportunities.
The process we use to estimate losses inherent in our credit exposure requires difficult, subjective and complex judgments,
including forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic conditions might impair the ability of our borrowers to
repay their loans. The level of uncertainty concerning economic conditions may adversely affect the accuracy of our estimates,
which may, in turn, impact the reliability of the process.
•
Our liquidity could be negatively impacted by an inability to access the capital markets, unforeseen or extraordinary demands
on cash, or regulatory restrictions.
Our Southern California business focus and economic conditions in Southern California could adversely affect our operations.
The Bank’s operations are located primarily in Los Angeles County and Orange County in Southern California. Because of this
geographic concentration, our results depend largely upon economic conditions in these areas. A further deterioration in the economic
conditions or a prolonged delay in economic recovery in the Bank’s market areas, or a significant natural or man-made disaster in these
market areas, could have a material adverse effect on the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, the demand for its products and services and
on its overall financial condition and results of operations.
21
Our concentration in loans collateralized by commercial real estate property located primarily in Southern California could have
adverse effects on credit quality. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank’s loan portfolio included commercial property, construction, and
commercial and industrial loans, which were collateralized by commercial real estate properties located primarily in Southern California,
totaling $1.98 billion, or 88.6 percent of total gross loans. Because of this concentration, a potential deterioration of the commercial real
estate market in Southern California could affect the ability of borrowers, guarantors and related parties to perform in accordance with the
terms of their loans. Among the factors that could contribute to such a potential decline are general economic conditions in Southern
California, interest rates and local market construction and sales activity.
Our concentrations of loans in certain industries could have adverse effects on credit quality. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank’s
loan portfolio included loans to: (i) lessors of non-residential buildings totaling $615.0 million, or 27.5 percent of total gross loans;
(ii) borrowers in the accommodation industry totaling $332.1 million, or 14.9 percent of total gross loans; and (iii) gas stations totaling
$304.6 million, or 13.6 percent of total gross loans. Most of these loans are in Southern California. Because of these concentrations of loans
in specific industries, a continued deterioration of the Southern California economy overall, and specifically within these industries, could
affect the ability of borrowers, guarantors and related parties to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans, which could have
material and adverse consequences for the Bank.
Our focus on lending to small to mid-sized community-based businesses may increase our credit risk. Most of our commercial
business and commercial real estate loans are made to small or middle market businesses. These businesses generally have fewer financial
resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities and have a heightened vulnerability to economic conditions. If general
economic conditions in the markets in which we operate negatively impact this important customer sector, our results of operations and
financial condition and the value of our common stock may be adversely affected. Moreover, a portion of these loans have been made by us
in recent years and the borrowers may not have experienced a complete business or economic cycle. Furthermore, the deterioration of our
borrowers’ businesses may hinder their ability to repay their loans with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our use of appraisals in deciding whether to make loans secured by real property does not ensure that the value of the real property
collateral will be sufficient to repay our loans. In considering whether to make a loan secured by real property, we require an appraisal of
the property. However, an appraisal is only an estimate of the value of the property at the time the appraisal is made and requires the exercise
of a considerable degree of judgment and adherence to professional standards. If the appraisal does not reflect the amount that may be
obtained upon sale or foreclosure of the property, whether due to declines in property values after the date of the original appraisal or
defective preparation, we may not realize an amount equal to the indebtedness secured by the property and may suffer losses.
Changes in economic conditions could materially hurt our business. Our business is directly affected by changes in economic
conditions, including financial, legislative and regulatory changes and changes in government monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all
of which are beyond our control. The economic conditions in the markets in which many of our borrowers operate have deteriorated and the
levels of loan delinquency and defaults that we experienced were substantially higher than historical levels.
If economic conditions deteriorate, it may exacerbate the following consequences:
•
•
•
•
problem assets and foreclosures may increase;
demand for our products and services may decline;
low cost or non-interest bearing deposits may decrease; and
collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may decline in value.
If a significant number of borrowers, guarantors or related parties fail to perform as required by the terms of their loans, we could
sustain losses. A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors or related
parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and
credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for loan losses, that management believe are appropriate to limit this
risk by assessing the likelihood of non-performance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our credit portfolio.
Our loan portfolio is predominantly secured by real estate and thus we have a higher degree of risk from a downturn in our real
estate markets. A downturn in the real estate markets could hurt our business because many of our loans are secured by real estate. Real
estate values and real estate markets are generally affected by changes in national, regional or local economic conditions, fluctuations in
interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and
policies, and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and national disasters particular to California. Substantially all of our real estate collateral is
located in California. If real estate values continue to decline, the value of real estate collateral securing our loans could be significantly
reduced. Our ability to recover on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be diminished, and we
would be more likely to suffer material losses on defaulted loans.
22
We are exposed to risk of environmental liabilities with respect to properties to which we take title. In the course of our
business, we may foreclose and take title to real estate, and could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to these
properties. We may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and
clean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or may be required to investigate or clean
up hazardous or toxic substances, or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities
could be substantial. In addition, if we are the owner or former owner of a contaminated site, we may be subject to common law
claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the property. If we
become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be
materially and adversely affected.
Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses. A significant source of risk arises from the
possibility that we could sustain losses because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the
terms of their loans. The underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures that we have adopted to address this risk may not
prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loan defaults and non-performance. The allowance is also increased
for new loan growth. While we believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover inherent losses, we cannot assure you
that we will not increase the allowance for loan losses further or that our regulators will not require us to increase this allowance.
Our earnings are affected by changing interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the level of loans, deposits and
investments, the credit profile of existing loans, the rates received on loans and securities and the rates paid on deposits and
borrowings. Significant fluctuations in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations. The current historically low interest rate environment caused by the response to the financial market crisis and the global
economic recession may affect our operating earnings negatively.
Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition. Liquidity is essential to our
business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, including brokered deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources
could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities
could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally
impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn or adverse
regulatory action against us.
Our ability to acquire deposits or borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption
of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole as a
result of the recent turmoil faced by banking organizations in the domestic and worldwide credit markets.
We are subject to government regulations that could limit or restrict our activities, which in turn could adversely affect our
operations. The financial services industry is subject to extensive federal and state supervision and regulation. Significant new laws,
including the enactment of Dodd-Frank, changes in existing laws, or repeals of existing laws, may cause our results to differ
materially from historical and projected performance. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the
Federal Reserve, significantly affects credit conditions, and a material change in these conditions could have a material adverse
impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Additional requirements imposed by Dodd-Frank and other regulations could adversely affect us. Dodd-Frank and related
regulations subject us and other financial institutions to more restrictions, oversight, reporting obligations and costs. In addition, this
increased regulation of the financial services industry restricts the ability of institutions within the industry to conduct business
consistent with historical practices, including aspects such as compensation, interest rates, new and inconsistent consumer protection
regulations and mortgage regulation, among others. Federal and state regulatory agencies also frequently adopt changes to their
regulations or change the manner in which existing regulations are applied.
Current and future legal and regulatory requirements, restrictions and regulations, including those imposed under Dodd-Frank,
may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, may require us to invest significant management
attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes required by the legislation and accompanying rules, and may make it more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and employees.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Dodd-Frank created the CFPB within the Federal Reserve. The CFPB is tasked
with establishing and implementing rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct
of providers of certain consumer financial products and services. The CFPB has rulemaking authority over many of the
23
statutes governing products and services offered to bank consumers. In addition, Dodd-Frank permits states to adopt consumer protection
laws and regulations that are more stringent than those regulations promulgated by the CFPB, and state attorneys general are permitted to
enforce consumer protection rules adopted by the CFPB against state-chartered institutions, including the Bank.
The FDIC’s restoration plan and the related increased assessment rate could adversely affect our earnings. As required by Dodd-
Frank, the FDIC adopted a new DIF restoration plan which became effective on January 1, 2011. Among other things, the plan (i) raises the
minimum designated reserve ratio, which the FDIC is required to set each year, to 1.35 percent (from the former minimum of 1.15 percent)
and removes the upper limit on the designated reserve ratio (which was formerly capped at 1.5 percent) and consequently on the size of the
fund, and (ii) requires that the fund reserve ratio reach 1.35 percent by September 30, 2020 (rather than 1.15 percent by the end of 2016, as
formerly required). The FDIA continues to require that the FDIC’s Board of Directors consider the appropriate level for the designated
reserve ratio annually and, if changing the designated reserve ratio, engage in notice-and-comment rulemaking before the beginning of the
calendar year. The FDIC has set a long-term goal of getting its reserve ratio up to 2 percent of insured deposits by 2027.
The amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance is generally beyond our control. If there are additional bank or
financial institution failures or if the FDIC otherwise determines, we may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the recently
increased levels. These increases and any future increases in FDIC insurance premiums may have a material and adverse effect on our
earnings and could have a material adverse effect on the value of, or market for, our common stock.
The impact of the new Basel III capital standards will likely impose enhanced capital adequacy standards on us. In June 2013,
federal banking regulators jointly issued the Basel III Rules. The rules impose new capital requirements and implement Section 171 of
Dodd-Frank. The new rules are to be phased in through 2019, beginning January 1, 2015. Among other things, the rules will require that we
maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%, a total capital ratio of 8%, and a leverage ratio of 4%. In
addition, we will have to maintain an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of total risk weighted assets or be subject to limitations
on dividends and other capital distributions, as well as limiting discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The new rules also
restrict trust preferred securities from comprising more than 25% of Tier 1 capital. If an institution grows above $15 billion as a result of an
acquisition, or organically grows above $15 billion and then makes an acquisition, the combined trust preferred issuances would be phased
out of Tier 1 and into Tier 2 capital (75% in 2015 and 100% in 2016). The application of more stringent capital requirements could, among
other things, result in lower returns on invested capital and result in regulatory actions if we were to be unable to comply with such
requirements.
Competition may adversely affect our performance. The banking and financial services businesses in our market areas are highly
competitive. We face competition in attracting deposits, making loans, and attracting and retaining employees, particularly in the Korean-
American community. The increasingly competitive environment is a result of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product
delivery systems, new competitors in the market, and the pace of consolidation among financial services providers. Our results in the future
may be materially and adversely impacted depending upon the nature and level of competition.
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us. Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of
trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely
execute transactions with counterparties in the financial industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks,
mutual and hedge funds, and other institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our
counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized upon or is liquidated
at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the financial instrument exposure due us. Any such losses could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We could be liable for breaches of security in our online banking services. Fear of security breaches could limit the growth of our
online services. We offer various Internet-based services to our clients, including online banking services. The secure transmission of
confidential information over the Internet is essential to maintain our clients’ confidence in our online services. Advances in computer
capabilities, new discoveries or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology we use to protect client
transaction data. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to prevent security breaches and periodically test our
security, failure to mitigate breaches of security could adversely affect our ability to offer and grow our online services and could harm our
business.
Our information systems may experience an interruption or security breach. We rely heavily on communications and information
systems to conduct our business. We, our customers, and other financial institutions with which we interact, are subject to ongoing,
continuous attempts to penetrate key systems by individual hackers, organized criminals, and in some cases, state-sponsored organizations.
Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship
management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems, misappropriation of funds, and theft of proprietary Company, Bank or
customer data. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption or security
breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failure, interruption or security
24
breach will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failure, interruption or security
breach of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory
scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability.
We are subject to operational risks relating to our technology and information systems. The continued efficacy of our technology
and information systems, related operational infrastructure and relationships with third party vendors in our ongoing operations is integral
to our performance. Failure of any of these resources, including but not limited to operational or systems failures, interruptions of client
service operations and ineffectiveness of or interruption in third party data processing or other vendor support, may cause material
disruptions in our business, impairment of customer relations and exposure to liability for our customers, as well as action by bank
regulatory authorities.
Negative publicity could damage our reputation. Reputation risk, or the risk to our earnings and capital from negative publicity or
public opinion, is inherent in our business. Negative publicity or public opinion could adversely affect our ability to keep and attract
customers and expose us to adverse legal and regulatory consequences. Negative public opinion could result from our actual or perceived
conduct in any number of activities, including lending practices, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions,
and disclosure, sharing or inadequate protection of customer information, and from actions taken by government regulators and
community organizations in response to that conduct.
We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of one or more of those key personnel may materially and adversely affect our
prospects. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract key people who are qualified and have knowledge and experience in
the banking industry in our markets and to retain those people to successfully implement our business objectives. Competition for
qualified employees and personnel in the banking industry is intense, particularly for qualified persons with knowledge of, and experience
in, our banking space. The process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategies
is often lengthy. In addition, legislation and regulations which impose restrictions on executive compensation may make it more difficult
for us to retain and recruit key personnel. Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract and retain qualified
management, loan origination, finance, administrative, marketing and technical personnel and upon the continued contributions of our
management and employees. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of our key personnel or failure to attract or retain such
employees could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to
accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. Effective internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary
for us to provide reliable financial reports and disclosures to stockholders, to prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public
company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports and disclosures or prevent fraud, our business may be adversely affected and our
reputation and operating results would be harmed. Any failure to develop or maintain effective internal controls and disclosure controls
and procedures or difficulties encountered in their implementation may also result in regulatory enforcement action against us, adversely
affect our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.
Changes in accounting standards may affect how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. Our
accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. From
time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the
preparation of our financial statements. These changes and their impacts on us can be hard to predict and may result in unexpected and
materially adverse impacts on our reported financial condition and results of operations.
We are required to assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets on an ongoing basis. Deferred tax assets are evaluated on a
quarterly basis to determine if they are expected to be recoverable in the future. Our evaluation considers positive and negative evidence
to assess whether it is more likely than not that a portion of the asset will not be realized. Future negative operating performance or other
negative evidence may result in a valuation allowance being recorded against some or the entire amount.
We may become subject to regulatory restrictions in the event that our capital levels decline. We cannot provide any assurance
that our total risk-based capital ratio or other capital ratios will not decline in the future such that the Bank may be considered to be
“undercapitalized” for regulatory purposes. If a state member bank, like the Bank, is classified as undercapitalized, the bank is required to
submit a capital restoration plan to the FRB. Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (the “FDICIA”), an
undercapitalized bank is prohibited from increasing its assets, engaging in a new line of business, acquiring any interest in any company
or insured depository institution, or opening or acquiring a new branch office, except under certain circumstances, including the
acceptance by the FRB of a capital restoration plan for the bank. Pursuant to Section 38 of the FDIA and Federal Reserve Regulation H,
the FRB also has the discretion to impose certain other corrective actions.
If a bank is classified as significantly undercapitalized, the FRB would be required to take one or more prompt corrective actions.
These actions would include, among other things, requiring sales of new securities to bolster capital; improvements in
25
management; limits on interest rates paid; prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; termination of certain risky activities and
restrictions on compensation paid to executive officers. These actions may also be taken by the FRB at any time on an
undercapitalized bank if it determines those restrictions are necessary. If a bank is classified as critically undercapitalized, in addition
to the foregoing restrictions, the FDICIA prohibits payment on any subordinated debt and requires the bank to be placed into
conservatorship or receivership within 90 days, unless the FRB determines that other action would better achieve the purposes of the
FDICIA regarding prompt corrective action with respect to undercapitalized banks.
As we expand outside our California markets, we may encounter additional risks that may adversely affect us. Currently, the
majority of our offices are located in Southern California, but we also have two branches in Northern California and two LPOs in
Washington and Texas. Over time, we may also seek to establish offices to serve Korean-American communities in other parts of the
United States. In the course of these expansion activities, we may encounter significant risks, including unfamiliarity with the
characteristics and business dynamics of new markets, increased marketing and administrative expenses and operational difficulties
arising from our efforts to attract business in new markets, manage operations in noncontiguous geographic markets, comply with
local laws and regulations and effectively and consistently manage our non-California personnel and business. If we are unable to
manage these risks, our operations may be adversely affected.
Changing conditions in South Korea could adversely affect our business. A substantial number of our customers have
economic and cultural ties to South Korea and, as a result, we are likely to feel the effects of adverse economic and political
conditions in South Korea. U.S. and global economic policies, political or political tension, and global economic conditions may
adversely impact the South Korean economy.
Management closely monitors our exposure to the South Korean economy and, to date, we have not experienced any significant
loss attributable to our exposure to South Korea. Nevertheless, our efforts to minimize exposure to downturns in the South Korean
economy may not be successful in the future, and a significant downturn in the South Korean economy could possibly have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If economic conditions in South Korea change, we could
experience an outflow of deposits by those of our customers with connections to South Korea and a significant decrease in deposits
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to the risks of natural disasters. A significant portion of our operations is concentrated in Southern California.
California is in an earthquake-prone region. A major earthquake may result in material loss to us. A significant percentage of our
loans are and will be secured by real estate. Many of our borrowers may suffer uninsured property damage, experience interruption of
their businesses or lose their jobs after an earthquake. Those borrowers might not be able to repay their loans, and the collateral for
such loans may decline significantly in value. Unlike a bank with operations that are more geographically diversified, we are
vulnerable to greater losses if an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural catastrophe occurs in Southern California.
We may experience adverse effects from acquisitions. We have acquired other banking companies in the past and consider
additional acquisitions as opportunities arise. If we do not adequately address the financial and operational risks associated with
acquisitions of other companies, including in connection with our pending acquisition of CBI, described in greater detail in this
section under the subsection captioned “Risks Relating to the CBI Merger” and elsewhere in this Report, we may incur material
unexpected costs and disruption of our business. Risks involved in acquisitions of other companies include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the risk of failure to adequately evaluate the asset quality of the acquired company;
difficulty in assimilating the operations, technology and personnel of the acquired company;
diversion of management’s attention from other important business activities;
difficulty in maintaining good relations with the loan and deposit customers of the acquired company;
inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, especially considering geographic
diversification;
potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities; and
amortization of expenses related to acquired intangible assets that have finite lives.
26
Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The Bank could be restricted from paying dividends to us, its sole shareholder, and, thus, we would be restricted from paying
dividends to our stockholders in the future. The primary source of our income from which we pay our obligations and distribute
dividends to our stockholders is from the receipt of dividends from the Bank. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited
by various statutes and regulations. The Bank has a retained deficit of $79.7 million as of December 31, 2013 and suffered net losses
in 2010, 2009 and 2008, largely caused by provision for credit losses and goodwill impairments. As a result, the California Financial
Code does not provide authority for the Bank to declare a dividend to us, with or without approval of the Commissioner of Business
Oversight.
The price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline. The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate
significantly due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations
in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market
fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;
changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts;
failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;
speculation in the press or investment community;
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
actions by institutional stockholders;
fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;
general market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the financial services industry;
proposed or adopted legislative or regulatory changes or developments;
anticipated or pending investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve or affect us; or
domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.
The stock market and, in particular, the market for financial institution stocks, has experienced significant volatility. As a result,
the market price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate more than
usual and cause significant price variations to occur. The trading price of the shares of our common stock will depend on many
factors, which may change from time to time, including, without limitation, our financial condition, performance, creditworthiness
and prospects, future sales of our equity or equity-related securities, and other factors identified above in the section captioned
“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” A significant decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses
for individual stockholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation and potential delisting from NASDAQ.
Your share ownership may be diluted by the issuance of additional shares of our common stock in the future. Your share
ownership may be diluted by the issuance of additional shares of our common stock in the future. We may decide to raise additional
funds through public or private debt or equity financings for a number of reasons, including in response to regulatory or other
requirements to meet our liquidity and capital needs, to finance our operations and business strategy or for other reasons. If we raise
funds by issuing equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing
stockholders will further be reduced, the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our
common stock, and the market of our common stock could decline.
In addition, we have adopted a stock option plan that provides for the granting of stock options to our directors, executive
officers and other employees. As of December 31, 2013, 1,078,668 shares of our common stock were issuable under options granted
in connection with our stock option plans and stock warrants issued in connection with the registered rights and best efforts offerings.
It is probable that the stock options will be exercised during their respective terms if the fair market value of our common stock
exceeds the exercise price of the particular option. If the stock options are exercised, your share ownership will be diluted.
Furthermore, as of December 31, 2013, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
62,500,000 shares of common stock. Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for preemptive rights
to the holders of our common stock. Any authorized but unissued shares are available for issuance by our Board of Directors. As a
result, if we issue additional shares of common stock to raise additional capital or for other corporate purposes, you may be unable to
maintain your pro rata ownership in the Company.
Future sales of common stock by existing stockholders may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common
stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by existing stockholders, or the perception
that large sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or limit our future ability to raise capital
through an offering of equity securities.
27
Anti-takeover provisions and state and federal law may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock
price to decline. Various provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws could delay or prevent a third-
party from acquiring us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions provide for, among other things,
supermajority voting approval for certain actions, limitation on large stockholders taking certain actions and authorization to issue “blank
check” preferred stock by action of the Board of Directors acting alone without obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, the BHCA and
the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, together with applicable federal regulations, require that, depending on the particular
circumstances, either FRB approval must be obtained or notice must be furnished to FRB and not disapproved prior to any person or entity
acquiring “control” of a state member bank, such as the Bank. These provisions may prevent a merger or acquisition that would be attractive
to stockholders and could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.
Risks Relating to the Pending CBI Merger
We may be not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the CBI Merger, including estimated cost savings and synergies, or it
may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits. The realization of the benefits anticipated as a result of the CBI Merger,
including cost savings and synergies, will depend in part on the integration of CBI’s operations with our operations. Hanmi Financial and
CBI have operated and, until the consummation of the CBI Merger, will continue to operate independently. To realize the anticipated
benefits and cost savings, after the completion of the CBI Merger, we expect to integrate CBI’s business into our own. There can be no
assurance that CBI’s operations can be integrated successfully into our operations in a timely fashion, or at all. The dedication of
management and other internal resources to such integration may divert attention from our day-to-day business, and there can be no
assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or that there will not be other material adverse effects
as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including, but not limited to, incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with
such integration, may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Required regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer to receive than expected or may impose conditions that are
materially burdensome or cannot be met. Before the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including both the CBI Merger
and the Bank Merger, may be completed, various approvals must be obtained from our and the Bank’s regulatory authorities. The parties
currently anticipate that the requisite applications will be submitted after the financial information for the first quarter of 2014 becomes
available. Other approvals, waivers or consents from regulators may also be required. In determining whether to grant these approvals, the
regulators consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of the parties to the Merger Agreement. Poor regulatory standing or
an adverse development in such standing or other factors could result in an inability to obtain approval or delay their receipt. UCB is the
subject of a consent order by the Texas Department of Banking (the “TDB”) and the FDIC. CBI is party to a written agreement with the
Federal Reserve and the banking commissioner of the TDB. Regulators may impose conditions on the completion of the CBI Merger or the
Bank Merger which we may not be able to meet or require changes to the terms of the proposed merger. Such conditions or changes could
have the effect of delaying or preventing completion of the CBI Merger as currently contemplated or imposing additional costs on or limiting
the revenues of the combined company following the CBI Merger, any of which might have an adverse effect on the combined company
following the completion of the CBI Merger.
We will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the CBI Merger is pending. Uncertainty about the
effect of the CBI Merger on employees, suppliers, vendors, and customers (including depositors and borrowers) may have an adverse effect
on both Hanmi Financial and CBI. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain or motivate key personnel until the CBI
Merger is completed and may cause customers and others that transact business with us or CBI to seek to change existing business
relationships with either us and/or CBI. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a
desire not to remain with the business, the combined company’s business following the CBI Merger may be negatively affected.
Additionally, these uncertainties could cause suppliers, vendors, and customers (including depositors and borrowers) and others who deal
with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us or fail to extend an existing relationship with us. In addition, competitors
may target our or CBI’s existing customers by highlighting potential uncertainties and integration difficulties that may result from the CBI
Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts CBI from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions while the CBI
Merger is pending, without the prior consent of Hanmi Financial.
If the CBI Merger is not consummated, we will not benefit from the expenses incurred in pursuing it. The Merger Agreement is
subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the CBI Merger. The conditions to the consummation of the
CBI Merger may not be fulfilled and, accordingly, the CBI Merger may not be completed. In addition, if the CBI Merger is not completed by
the Drop Dead Date, either Hanmi Financial or CBI may choose not to proceed with the CBI Merger, and the parties can mutually decide to
terminate the Merger Agreement at any time. Hanmi Financial has incurred and will incur substantial expenses, including in connection with
the negotiation and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as well as combining the business, operations,
networks, systems, technologies, policies and procedures of CBI with ours. If the CBI Merger is not completed, we would have to recognize
these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Although we have
assumed that a certain level of transaction and combination expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond our control
that could affect the total amount or the timing of such
28
combination expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present
time. Due to these factors, the transaction and combination expenses associated with the CBI Merger could, particularly in the near
term, exceed the savings that we expect to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses and the realization of economies of
scale and cost savings related to the combination of the businesses following the consummation of the CBI Merger. As a result of
these expenses, we expect to take charges against our earnings before and after the completion of the CBI Merger. The charges taken
in connection with the CBI Merger are expected to be significant, although the aggregate amount and timing of such charges,
including investment banking, legal and accounting fees and other related charges, are uncertain at present.
Termination of the Merger Agreement may negatively affect us. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, we may suffer various
adverse consequences, including:
•
•
our business may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of
management on the CBI Merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the CBI Merger; and
the market price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the market price prior to termination reflects a market
assumption that the CBI Merger will be completed, in each case, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed
the CBI Merger.
For a detailed description of the CBI Merger, see the section captioned “Pending CBI Merger.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Return on Average Tangible Equity
Return on average tangible equity is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi
Financial’s performance. Average tangible equity is calculated by subtracting average goodwill and average other intangible assets
from average stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from
stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this
financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper
understanding of the financial results of Hanmi Financial, as it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing tangible
capital. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily
comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion presents management’s analysis of the financial condition and results of operations as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes
related thereto presented elsewhere in this Report. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Critical Accounting Policies
We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial
Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions to arrive
at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Our financial position and results of operations can
be materially affected by these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those policies that are most important to the
determination of our financial condition and results of operations or that require management to make assumptions and estimates that are
subjective or complex. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies.” Management believes that the following policies are critical.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items
Our allowance for loan losses methodologies incorporate a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing
an allowance for loan losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include our historical loss
experiences on 14 segmented loan pools by type and risk rating, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing
loans, and other factors. Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in our markets, delinquency and charge-off trends, and the
change in non-performing loans. Concentration of credit, change of lending management and staff, quality of loan review system, and change in
interest rates are other qualitative factors that are considered in our methodologies. See “Financial Condition — Allowance for Loan Losses and
Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items,” “Results of Operations — Provision for Credit Losses” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information on methodologies used to determine the
allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items.
Loan Sales
The guaranteed portions of certain SBA Loans are normally sold to secondary market investors. When SBA Loans are sold, we generally
retain the right to service the loans. We record a loan servicing asset when the benefits of servicing are expected to be more than adequate
compensation to a servicer, which is determined by discounting all of the future net cash flows associated with the contractual rights and
obligations of the servicing agreement. The expected future net cash flows are discounted at a rate equal to the return that would adequately
compensate a substitute servicer for performing the servicing. In addition to the anticipated rate of loan prepayments and discount rates, other
assumptions (such as the cost to service the underlying loans, foreclosure costs, ancillary income and float rates) are also used in determining the
value of the loan servicing assets. Loan servicing assets are discussed in more detail in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 —
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 3 — Loans” presented elsewhere herein.
We reclassify certain loans to loans held for sale. Any such reclassification takes into consideration a number of factors, including, but not
limited to, the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
NPL and/or classified status, non-accrual status, and days delinquent;
possibility of rehabilitation or workout for the near future and long term earning capability as an asset;
number of times the loan was modified;
overall debt coverage ratio;
whether the debt is on troubled debt restructure status;
the location of the collateral; and
the borrower’s overall financial condition.
The fair value of nonperforming loans held for sale is generally based upon the recent appraisals, quotes, bids or sales contract prices which
approximate the fair value. All loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.
Investment Securities
The classification and accounting for investment securities are discussed in more detail in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note 2 – Investment Securities” presented elsewhere herein.
36
Under FASB ASC 320, “Investment,” investment securities generally must be classified as held to maturity, available for sale or
trading. The appropriate classification is based partially on our ability to hold the securities to maturity and largely on management’s
intentions with respect to either holding or selling the securities. The classification of investment securities is significant since it
directly impacts the accounting for unrealized gains and losses on securities. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities flow
directly through earnings during the periods in which they arise. Investment securities that are classified as held to maturity are
recorded at amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss) and do not affect earnings until realized or are deemed to be
other-than-temporarily impaired.
The fair values of investment securities are generally determined by quoted market prices obtained from independent external
brokers or independent external pricing service providers who have experience in valuing these securities. In obtaining such valuation
information from third parties, we have evaluated the methodologies used to develop the resulting fair values. We perform a monthly
analysis on the broker quotes received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. The
procedures include, but are not limited to, initial and on-going review of third party pricing methodologies, review of pricing trends,
and monitoring of trading volumes.
We review investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) or
permanent impairment, taking into consideration current market conditions, fair value in relationship to cost, extent and nature of the
change in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, whether we intend to sell a security or if it is likely that we will be required to
sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity, and other factors.
For debt securities, the classification of OTTI depends on whether we intend to sell the security or if it is more likely than not
that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its costs basis, and on the nature of the impairment. If we intend to sell
a security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is
recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If we do not intend
to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down
is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which
is recognized in other comprehensive income net of tax. A credit loss is the difference between the cost basis of the security and the
present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s effective interest rate at the date of acquisition. The
cost basis of an other than temporarily impaired security is written down by the amount of impairment recognized in earnings. The
new cost basis is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
Management does not believe that there are any investment securities that are deemed OTTI as of December 31, 2013.
Income Taxes
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, the Company periodically reviews its income tax positions based on tax
laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This review takes into
consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of the Company’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing
authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment.
As of each reporting date, management considers the realization of deferred tax assets based on management’s judgment of
various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income, as well as the implementation of various
tax planning strategies to maximize realization of deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2013, management determined that no valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets is required, as management believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized
principally through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Management further believes that future taxable income
will be sufficient to realize the benefits of temporary deductible differences that cannot be realized through carry-back to prior years
or through the reversal of future temporary taxable differences.
Income taxes are discussed in more detail in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies” and “Note 8 — Income Taxes” presented elsewhere herein.

Executive Overview
For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized net income of $39.9 million, $90.4 million and $28.1
million, respectively. The decrease in net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2012 was primarily attributable to the absence of the reversal of the deferred tax asset (“DTA”) valuation allowance, which
contributed an income tax benefit of $47.4 million in 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, our earnings per
diluted share were $1.26, $2.87 and $1.38, respectively.
Significant financial highlights include:
•
•
•
Total assets increased 6.0 percent to $3.06 billion at December 31, 2013, compared to $2.88 billion at December 31, 2012,
resulting from increases in investment portfolio and gross loans.
With new loan growth across the portfolio, particularly in commercial and industrial loans, gross loans increased by $185.5
million, or 9.1 percent, to $2.23 billion as of December 31, 2013, compared to $2.05 billion as of December 31, 2012.
During 2012, gross loans decreased by $109.8 million, or 5.7 percent, compared to $1.94 billion as of December 31, 2011.
Asset quality improved in all major aspects as of December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012. Non-performing
assets declined to 0.87 percent of total assets as of December 2013 from 1.32 percent of total assets as of December 31,
2012. Net loss on sales of other loans was $557,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $9.5 million for
the year ended December 31, 2012. Classified loans were $80.3 million, or 3.6 percent of gross loans, at December 31,
2013, down from $100.4 million, or 4.9 percent, at December 31, 2012.
•
Net income was $39.9 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $90.4
million, or $2.87 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012, which included $47.4 million net tax benefit
from the DTA valuation allowance reversal.
•
Net interest margin continued to increase year over year. For the year ended December 31, 2013, net interest margin was
4.05 percent, increases of 28 and 37 basis points compared to 3.77 percent and 3.68 percent for the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
•
•
Operating efficiency improved to 55.80 percent for the year ended December 31, 2013, from 61.07 percent for the year
ended December 31, 2012 and 67.22 percent for the year ended the December 31, 2011, reflecting higher revenues.
Cash dividends of $0.07 per share of common stock were paid on December 23 and September 17, 2013.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and fees derived from earning
assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by
changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans are
affected principally by changes to interest rates, the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and
other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control,
such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary
matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.

(1) Loans are net of deferred fees and related direct costs, but exclude the allowance for loan losses. Non-accrual loans are
included in the average loan balance. Loan fees have been included in the calculation of interest income. Loan fees were $1.4
million, $1.5 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(2) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using an effective marginal rate of 35 percent.
(3) Represents the average yield earned on interest-earning assets less the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
(4) Represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
The table below shows changes in interest income and interest expense and the amounts attributable to variations in interest rates
and volumes for the periods indicated. The variances attributable to simultaneous volume and rate changes have been allocated to the
change due to volume and the change due to rate categories in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount attributable
solely to the change in volume and to the change in rate.

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, net interest income before provision for credit losses on a tax-equivalent
basis was $109.0 million, $101.3 million and $101.3 million, respectively. The increase in net interest income in 2013, as compared to
2012, was primarily attributable to an increase in average gross loans, a decline in jumbo time deposits, lower deposit costs resulting
from the replacement of high-cost time deposits with low-cost deposit products, and a decrease in interest expense from the full
redemption of $80 million of trust preferred securities (“TPS”). Net interest income remained stable for the years ended December 31,
2012 and 2011 due to the decrease in interest income, which was primarily offset by the decrease in interest expense. The decrease in
interest income was due primarily to declines in average gross loans and loan yields, and a decrease in other debt securities yield. This
decrease was primarily offset in the interest expense by lower deposit costs resulting from the replacement of high-cost promotional time
deposits with low-cost deposits. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2013 were 3.76 percent
and 4.05 percent, respectively, compared to 3.40 percent and 3.77 percent, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012, and 3.27
percent and 3.68 percent, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Average gross loans were $2.16 billion in 2013, as compared with $1.99 billion in 2012 and $2.11 billion in 2011, representing an
increase of 8.2 percent in 2013 and a decrease of 5.7 percent in 2012. Average investment securities were $446.6 million in 2013, as
compared with $443.9 million in 2012 and $479.8 million in 2011, representing an increase of 0.6 percent in 2013 and a decrease of 7.5
percent in 2012. Average interest-earning assets remained stable at $2.69 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as
compared with $2.75 billion in 2011, representing a decrease of 2.4 percent in 2012. The decrease in average interest earning assets in
2012 was a direct result of the proactive disposition of problem loans under the credit quality improvement strategy and the balance
sheet deleveraging strategy. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $1.68 billion in 2013, as compared to $1.76 billion in 2012 and
$1.96 billion in 2011, representing decreases of 4.5 percent and 10.2 percent in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in average
interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from the full redemption of $80 million of TPS in 2013 and the continuing reduction of
high-cost time deposits in 2013 and 2012.
The average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 9 basis points to 4.56 percent in 2013, after a decrease of 21 basis points
to 4.47 percent in 2012 from 4.68 percent in 2011. The increase in 2013 was attributable to deployment of lower yielding funds to higher
yielding loans, and the decrease in 2012 was due primarily to an increase in lower yielding funds and lower yields on investment
securities and loans. The average yield on gross loans decreased by 28 basis points to 5.19 percent in 2013, after a 9 basis point decrease
to 5.47 percent in 2012 from 5.56 percent in 2011. The continued decreases in 2013 and 2012 were attributable to the current low
interest rate environment. The average cost on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 27 basis points to 0.80 percent in 2013, after a
decrease of 34 basis points to 1.07 percent in 2012 from 1.41 percent in 2011. The decrease in 2013 was due mainly to the elimination of
interest payments on TPS and the decline in the balance and cost of jumbo CDs, and the decrease in 2012 was attributable to a continued
shift in funding sources toward lower-cost funds through disciplined deposit pricing while reducing wholesale funds and rate sensitive
deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses
In anticipation of credit risks inherent in our lending business, we set aside allowance for loan losses through charges to
earnings. These charges are made not only for our outstanding loan portfolio, but also for off-balance sheet items, such as
commitments to extend credit, or letters of credit. The charges made for our outstanding loan portfolio are recorded to the allowance
for loan losses, whereas charges for off-balance sheet items are recorded to the reserve for off-balance sheet items, and are presented
as a component of other liabilities.
Net charge-offs decreased by $27.5 million, or 81.3 percent, to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $33.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and decreased by $34.9 million, or 50.8 percent, for the year ended December 31,
2012 from $68.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Non-performing loans decreased by $11.4 million, or 30.6 percent, to
$25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and decreased by
$15.1 million, or 28.8 percent, for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $52.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. All
other credit metrics also experienced improvements as the quality of the loan portfolio improved. Therefore, provision for credit
losses was zero for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. See “Non-
Performing Assets” and “Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items” for further details.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, non-interest income was $31.4 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 26.6 percent,
from $24.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to an $8.9 million decrease in net
loss on sales of other loans, mainly offset by a $1.9 million decrease in gain on sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. Service
charges on deposit accounts, which represent 36.0 percent of total non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013,
decreased to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared with $12.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2012, due mainly to a decrease in non-sufficient fund charges. Gain on sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans for the year
ended December 31, 2013 totaled $8.0 million, or 25.5 percent of total non-interest income. Insurance commissions increased
$390,000, or 8.0 percent, to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2012.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, non-interest income was $24.8 million, an increase of $961,000, or 4.0 percent, from
$23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in non-interest income for 2012 was primarily attributable to a gain
from selling the guaranteed portion of SBA loans, partially offset by a net loss recognized from selling other loans. Gain from selling
the guaranteed portion of SBA loans for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $9.9 million, or 40.0 percent of total non-interest
income, a $5.4 million increase from $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. However, net loss on sales of other loans
increased to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This
increase was a result of management’s effort to reduce problem and non-performing assets. The other large source of non-interest
income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was service charges on deposit accounts, which represented 49.0 percent of total non-
interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012. Service charge income decreased to $12.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2012, compared with $12.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, due mainly to a decrease in number of non-
interest bearing demand deposit accounts.

compared to $76.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was due primarily to the increases in salaries and
employee benefits, and professional fees, mainly offset by the decrease in deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments.
Professional fees increased $2.7 million, 57.7 percent, to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $4.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2012, due mainly to additional professional services required for several strategic transactions pursued
during 2013. Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased by $3.0
million, or 67.6 percent, to $1.4 million, compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, due primarily to the lower
assessment rates for the FDIC insurance on deposits resulting from our improved overall financial conditions. The largest component
of non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was salaries and employee benefits, which represented 49.4 percent of
total non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2013. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.7 million, or 4.6
percent, to $38.6 million, compared to $36.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, due mainly to an annual salary increase,
an increase in the average number of employees, and additional share-based compensation reflecting stock options and restricted
stock awards granted.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, non-interest expense was $76.9 million, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 8.5 percent, from
$84.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was due primarily to a non-recurring expense of $2.2 million
related to an unconsummated capital raise in 2011, and reductions in deposit insurance premiums, directors and officers liability
insurance and other real estate owned expense. Reflecting improved overall financial conditions, deposit insurance premiums and
regulatory assessments decreased by $2.2 million, or 33.2 percent, to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared
to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the same reason, along with a change in new insurance carriers, directors
and officers liability insurance also decreased by $1.7 million, or 58.6 percent, to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012,
compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Salaries and employee benefits, however, increased by $1.4 million,
or 4.0 percent, to $36.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $35.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2011, due mainly to increased bonus provisions and incentive awards during 2012. Other real estate owned expenses decreased by
$1.3 million, or 78.8 percent, to $344,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2011, due mainly to a reduction of OREO properties.
Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s net deferred tax assets of $51.8 million were primarily the result of net operating loss
carryforwards, allowance for loan losses and unrealized loss on securities available for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2012,
the Company recorded a net valuation allowance release of $62.6 million based on management’s reassessment of the amount of its
deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance of $82.3 million was recorded against its gross
deferred tax asset balance as of December 31, 2011.
Income taxes are discussed in more detail in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies” and “Note 8 — Income Taxes” presented elsewhere herein.

Financial Condition
Investment Portfolio
Investment securities are classified as held to maturity or available for sale in accordance with GAAP. Those securities that we
have the ability and the intent to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity.” All other securities are classified as “available
for sale.” There were no trading securities as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Securities classified as held to maturity are stated
at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, and available for sale securities are stated at fair value. The
composition of our investment portfolio reflects our investment strategy of providing a relatively stable source of interest income
while maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity. Our investment portfolio also provides a source of liquidity by pledging as
collateral or through repurchase agreement and collateral for certain public funds deposits.
As of December 31, 2013, our investment portfolio was composed primarily of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized
mortgage obligations and U.S. government agency securities. Investment securities available for sale were 100 percent, 100 percent
and 99.8 percent of the total investment portfolio as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Most of the investment
securities carried fixed interest rates. Other than holdings of U.S. government agency securities, there were no investments in
securities of any one issuer exceeding 10 percent of stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
As of December 31, 2013, securities available for sale were $530.9 million, or 17.4 percent of total assets, compared to $451.1
million, or 15.6 percent of total assets, as of December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, investment portfolio
increased by $79.9 million, or 17.7 percent, to $530.9 million from $451.1 million as of December 31, 2012, due to purchases of
$250.9 million of investment securities primarily consisting of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations,
mainly offset by sales, calls, prepayments and scheduled amortization.

All individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of December 31,
2013 and 2012 had investment grade ratings upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default
on these securities and the various rating agencies have reaffirmed these securities’ long-term investment grade status as of
December 31, 2013. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated.
FASB ASC 320 requires other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities to be written down when fair value is below
amortized cost in circumstances where: (i) an entity has the intent to sell a security; (ii) it is more likely than not that an entity will be
required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (iii) an entity does not expect to recover the entire
amortized cost basis of the security. If an entity intends to sell a security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to
sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s
amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be
required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is
recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the
investments before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the unrealized losses on municipal and corporate bonds are
not considered other-than-temporarily impaired as the bonds are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with
the issuers. 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and
therefore, no impairment charges as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were warranted.
Investment securities available for sale with carrying values of $47.6 million and $18.2 million as of December 31, 2013 and
2012, respectively, were pledged to secure FHLB advances, public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
Loan Portfolio
Real estate loans are extended to finance the purchase and/or improvement of commercial real estate and residential property.
The properties generally are investor-owned, but may be for user-owned purposes. Underwriting guidelines include, among other
things, an appraisal in conformity with the USPAP, limitations on loan-to-value ratios, and minimum cash flow requirements to
service debt. The majority of the properties taken as collateral are located in Southern California. Commercial loans include term
loans and revolving lines of credit. Term loans typically have a maturity schedule ranging from three to seven years and are extended
to finance the purchase of business entities, owner-occupied commercial property, business equipment, leasehold improvements or for
45
permanent working capital. SBA loans usually have a longer maturity schedule ranging from five to 20 years. Lines of credit, in
general, are extended on an annual basis to businesses that need temporary working capital and/or import/export financing. These
borrowers are well diversified as to industry, location and their current and target markets.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, total loan disbursement consisted of $461.4 million in commercial real estate loans,
$118.9 million in SBA loans and $76.8 million in commercial and industrial loans. The increase was offset by $88.5 million of
transfers to loans held for sale, $11.9 million of gross charge-offs and $374.6 million of pay-offs and other net amortizations.

Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing loans consist of loans on non-accrual status and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Non-
performing assets consist of non-performing loans and OREO. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of
management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when
principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and
in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending upon
the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When an asset is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but
unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received,
except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual
assets may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for non-accrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by
foreclosure or similar means that management intends to offer for sale.
47
Except for non-performing loans set forth below, management is not aware of any loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 for
which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their
present loan repayment terms, or any known events that would result in the loan being designated as non-performing at some future
date. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which a deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values,
increases in general rates of interest, or changes in the financial condition or business of borrower may adversely affect a borrower’s
ability to pay.

Include troubled debt restructured non-performing loans of $10.5 million, $18.8 million and $23.2 million as of December 31,
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Non-accrual loans, excluding loans held for sale, totaled $25.9 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $37.3 million as
of December 31, 2012, representing a 30.6 percent decrease. Delinquent loans (defined as 30 days or more past due), excluding loans
held for sale, were $16.3 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $16.5 million as of December 31, 2012, representing a 1.2
percent decrease. Delinquent loans of $12.2 million and $14.1 million were included in non-performing loans as of December 31,
2013 and 2012, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013, loans totaling $14.6 million were placed on non-accrual
status. The additions to non-accrual loans were offset by $8.3 million in charge-offs, $6.9 million in principal paydowns and payoffs,
$5.7 million in transfer to loans held for sale, $2.1 million in upgrades to accrual, $1.3 million in SBA guaranteed portions received,
$1.2 million in note sales and $515,000 transfer to OREO.
The ratio of non-performing loans to gross loans also decreased to 1.16 percent at December 31, 2013 from 1.82 percent at
December 31, 2012. During the same period, allowance for loan losses decreased by $5.8 million, or 9.1 percent, to $57.6 million
from $63.3 million. Of the $25.9 million non-performing loans, approximately $22.4 million were impaired based on the definition
contained in FASB ASC 310, “Receivables,” which resulted in aggregate impairment reserve of $3.9 million as of December 31,
2013. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans is calculated as the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the value
of the collateral as determined by recent appraisals less estimated costs to sell. 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 non-performing. We continue to monitor
the collateral coverage, based on recent appraisals, on these loans on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance accordingly.
As of December 31, 2013, there were three OREO properties located in Washington and California with a combined carrying
value of $756,000 and a valuation adjustment of $56,000. As of December 31, 2012, there were two OREO properties located in
Illinois and Virginia with a combined carrying value of $774,000 and no valuation adjustment.
We evaluate loan impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that we
will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest
payments. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective
interest rate or, as an expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
48
dependent, less costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be
charged off against the allowance for loan losses or, alternatively, a specific allocation will be established. Additionally, impaired loans
are specifically excluded from the quarterly migration analysis when determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses required for
the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we restructured monthly payments for 33 loans, with a net carrying value of $8.6 million
at the time of modification, which we subsequently classified as troubled debt restructured loans. Temporary payment structure
modifications included, but were not limited to, extending the maturity date, reducing the amount of principal and/or interest due
monthly, and/or allowing for interest only monthly payments for six months or less. As of December 31, 2013, troubled debt
restructurings on accrual status totaled $19.4 million, all of which were temporary interest rate and payment reductions and extensions
of maturity, and a $1.4 million reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses. For the restructured loans
on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the
borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, performance and collection under the
revised terms is probable. As of December 31, 2013, restructured loans on non-accrual status totaled $10.5 million, and a $1.4 million
reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses.
As of December 31, 2012, troubled debt restructurings on accrual status totaled $17.0 million, all of which were temporary
interest rate and payment reductions and extensions of maturity, and a $1.5 million reserve relating to these loans was included in the
allowance for loan losses. For the restructured loans on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the
borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous
loan terms, performance and collection under the revised terms is probable. As of December 31, 2012, restructured loans on non-
accrual status totaled $18.8 million, and a $2.1 million reserve relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items
Provisions to allowance for loan losses are made quarterly to recognize probable loan losses. The quarterly provision is based on
the allowance need, which is determined through analysis involving quantitative calculations based on historic loss rates for general
reserves and individual impairment calculations for specific allocations to impaired loans as well as qualitative adjustments.
In the first quarter of 2010, the look-back period was reduced from twelve quarters to eight quarters, with 60.0 percent weighting
given to the most recent four quarters and 40.0 percent to the oldest four quarters, to place greater emphasis on losses taken by the
Bank during the economic downturn. In the second quarter of 2013, management reevaluated the look-back period and restored the
twelve quarter look-back period in order to capture a period of higher losses that would have otherwise been excluded. Risk factor
calculations are weighted at 50.0 percent for the most recent four quarters, 33.0 percent for the next four quarters, and 17.0 percent for
the oldest four quarters. Homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for loss potential. The change in methodology maintained the
Bank’s allowance at a level consistent with the prior quarter.
To determine general reserve requirements, existing loans are divided into 11 general loan pools of risk-rated loans as well as
three homogenous loan pools. For risk-rated loans, migration analysis allocates historical losses by loan pool and risk grade to
determine risk factors for potential loss inherent in the current outstanding loan portfolio.
Specific reserves are allocated for loans deemed “impaired.” A loan is “impaired” when it is probable that a creditor will be
unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms and schedules of the loan
agreement. The loans identified as impaired are measured using one of the three methods of valuations: (i) the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, (ii) the fair market value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent, or (iii) the loan’s observable market price.
When determining the appropriate level for allowance for loan losses, management considers qualitative adjustments for any
factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the Bank’s current portfolio to differ from historical loss
experience, including, but not limited to, national and local economic and business conditions, volume and geographic concentrations,
and problem loan trends.
50
To systematically quantify the credit risk impact of trends and changes within the loan portfolio, a credit risk matrix is utilized.
The qualitative factors are considered on a loan pool by loan pool basis subsequent to, and in conjunction with, a loss migration
analysis. The credit risk matrix provides various scenarios with positive or negative impact on the portfolio along with corresponding
basis points for qualitative adjustments.
The following table reflects our allocation of allowance for loan losses by loan category as well as the loans receivable for each

Allowance for loan losses decreased by $5.7 million, or 9.1 percent, to $57.6 million at December 31, 2013 as compared to
$63.3 million at December 31, 2012, which decreased by $26.6 million, or 29.6 percent, as compared to $89.9 million at December
51
31, 2011. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans decreased to 2.58 percent as of December 31, 2013 compared to 3.09
percent as of December 31, 2012 and 4.64 percent as of December 31, 2011. Provision for credit losses decreased by $6.0 million, or 100
percent, to zero for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and decreased by
$6.1 million, or 50.4 percent, as compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2011.
The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2013 was due primarily to decreases in historical loss rates and
classified assets. Due to these factors, general reserves decreased by $12.5 million, or 43.1 percent, to $16.5 million as of December 31, 2013
as compared to $29.1 million at December 31, 2012. However, total qualitative reserves increased by $6.1 million, or 22.7 percent, to $33.1
million as of December 31, 2013 as compared to $27.0 million as of December 31, 2012, due mainly to increases in unsecured and non-
performing loans and levels of competition, legal and regulation factors.
Impaired loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased by $1.7 million, or 3.1 percent, to $53.1 million as of December 31, 2013 as
compared to $54.7 million at December 31, 2012. However, specific reserve allocations associated with impaired loans increased by
$237,000, or 3.81 percent, to $6.5 million as of December 31, 2013 as compared to $6.2 million as of December 31, 2012.

Total deposits increased by $116.4 million, or 4.9 percent, to $2.51 billion as of December 31, 2013 from $2.40 billion as of
December 31, 2012. The increase in total deposits was mainly attributable to increases of $98.1 million, or 13.6 percent, in demand deposits
and $127.9 million, or 34.7 percent, in other time deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $109.2 million, or 17.7 percent, in time deposits
of $100,000 or more.
The overall mix of funding improved with no-cost transaction account balances increasing. Core deposits (defined as demand, savings,
money market checking and NOW accounts and other time deposits) increased by $225.6 million, or 12.7 percent, to $2.01 billion at
December 31, 2013 from $1.78 billion at December 31, 2012. Time deposits of $100,000 or more decreased by $109.2 million, or 17.7
percent, to $506.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $616.2 million at December 31, 2012. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits
represented 32.5 percent of total deposits at December 31, 2013 compared to 30.1 percent and 27.1 percent of total deposits at December 31,
2012 and 2011, respectively. We had no brokered deposits as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
FHLB advances and other borrowings mostly take the form of advances from the FHLBSF and overnight federal funds. At
December 31, 2013, advances from the FHLB were $127.5 million, an increase of $124.6 million from the December 31, 2012
balance of $2.9 million. At December 31, 2013, all FHLB advances have remaining maturities of less than one year, and the
weighted-average interest rate was 0.16 percent. See “Note 7 – FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings” for more details.
53
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk indicates our exposure to market interest rate fluctuations. The movement of interest rates directly and inversely
affects the economic value of fixed-income assets, which is the present value of future cash flow discounted by the current interest
rate; under the same conditions, the higher the current interest rate, the higher the denominator of discounting. Interest rate risk
management is intended to decrease or increase the level of our exposure to market interest rates. The level of interest rate risk can be
managed through such means as the changing of gap positions and the volume of fixed-income assets. For successful management of
interest rate risk, we use various methods to measure existing and future interest rate risk exposures, giving effect to historical
attrition rates of core deposits. In addition to regular reports used in business operations, repricing gap analysis, stress testing and
simulation modeling are the main measurement techniques used to quantify interest rate risk exposure.

The repricing gap analysis measures the static timing of repricing risk of assets and liabilities (i.e., a point-in-time analysis
measuring the difference between assets maturing or repricing in a period and liabilities maturing or repricing within the same
period). Assets are assigned to maturity and repricing categories based on their expected repayment or repricing dates, and liabilities
are assigned based on their repricing or maturity dates. Core deposits that have no maturity dates (demand deposits, savings, and
money market checking and NOW accounts) are assigned to categories based on expected decay rates.
As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative repricing gap for the three-month period was at an asset-sensitive position of 29.84
percent of interest-earning assets, which decreased from 34.96 percent as of December 31, 2012. This decrease was due mainly to a
$69.6 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks and a $125.0 million increase in federal home loan bank advances,
mainly offset by a $41.8 million increase in fixed rate investment securities, a $40.5 million decrease in money market checking and
NOW accounts, and an $82.4 million decrease in junior subordinated debentures.
54
As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative repricing gap for the twelve-month period was at an asset-sensitive position of 14.35
percent of interest-earning assets, which decreased from 22.32 percent as of December 31, 2012. The decrease was due mainly to a
$69.6 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks and $165.4 million and $127.2 million increases in fixed rate time
deposits and federal home loan bank advances, respectively, primarily offset by a $72.1 million decrease in money market checking
and NOW accounts and an $82.4 million decrease in junior subordinated debentures.

The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal
component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital
protection through stable earnings rather than maximizing yield. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets
and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established
within our guidelines.
To supplement traditional gap analysis, we perform simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes.
The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net
interest income and the market value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an
instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated below). This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits,
which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, given the basis point adjustment
in interest rates reflected below.

Results are not meaningful in a low interest rate environment
The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast, and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to
our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate
levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of
asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no
assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Capital Resources
Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate levels of
capital, the Board continually assesses projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and
levels of risk. Management considers, among other things, earnings generated from operations, and access to capital from financial
markets through the issuance of additional securities, including common stock or notes, to meet our capital needs.
At December 31, 2013, the Bank’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.58 percent, total risk-based capital ratio of 16.84 percent,
and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 13.09 percent, placed the Bank in the “well capitalized” category, which is defined as institutions
with Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6.00%, total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00%, and
Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00%.
55
Liquidity – Hanmi Financial
Management currently believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its operating
cash needs through December 31, 2014. Hanmi Financial redeemed $30.9 million of TPS in March 2013 and fully paid the remaining
$51.5 million on TPS in April 2013.
Liquidity – Hanmi Bank
The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow
requirements of our customers who either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs.
Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s
primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically
consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank had no brokered deposits, and had a FHLB
advance of $127.5 million compared to $2.9 million as of December 31, 2012.
We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary
source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30 percent of its total assets. As of December 31,
2013, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $343.3
million and $215.8 million, respectively, compared to $275.1 million and $272.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The
Bank’s FHLB borrowings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $127.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which represented
4.17 percent and 0.10 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by
the Bank, and the advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB from time to time. To
the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing
borrowings, fund existing and future loans and investment securities and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital
expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.
As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank had an available borrowing source of $87.1 million from the Federal Reserve
Discount Window (the “Fed Discount Window”), to which the Bank pledged loans with a carrying value of $118.4 million, and had
no borrowings as of December 31, 2013. In December 2012, the Bank established a line of credit with Raymond James & Associates,
Inc. for repurchase agreements up to a maximum of $100.0 million.
The Bank has Contingency Funding Plans (“CFPs”) designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet its ongoing
obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of a liquidity contraction. The CFPs are designed to examine and quantify its
liquidity under various “stress” scenarios. Furthermore, the CFPs provide a framework for management and other critical personnel to
follow in the event of a liquidity contraction or in anticipation of such an event. The CFPs address authority for activation and
decision making, liquidity options and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of a liquidity contraction.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved in on-balance sheet items
recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates
each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon
extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty at the time of the credit extension.
56
The types of collateral that the Bank holds varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and
income-producing or borrower-occupied properties. The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as

Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2013, Hanmi Financial carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of
our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal
financial and accounting officer). The purpose of the disclosure controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
57
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Hanmi Financial’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Hanmi Financial is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Consolidated Financial
Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those written policies
and procedures that:
•
•
•
•
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the Company’s assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.
Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s
assessment included an evaluation of the design of Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the
operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the
Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2013, Hanmi Financial maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2013, there has been no change in Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Hanmi Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report dated March 17, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Hanmi Financial Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes
in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations, and
their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Hanmi Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission,
and our report dated March 17, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011
Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Operations
Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was formed as a holding company of
Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”) and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act on March 17, 2001.
Subsequent to its formation, each of the Bank’s shares was exchanged for one share of Hanmi Financial with an equal value. Our
primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of
money through operation of the Bank.
The Bank is a community bank conducting general business banking, with its primary market encompassing the Korean-
American community as well as other ethnic communities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, San
Diego County, the San Francisco Bay area, and the Silicon Valley area in Santa Clara County. The Bank’s full-service offices are
located in markets where many of the businesses are run by immigrants and other minority groups. The Bank’s client base reflects the
multi-ethnic composition of these communities. The Bank is a California state-chartered financial institution insured by the FDIC. As
of December 31, 2013, the Bank maintained a network of 27 full-service branch offices in California and two loan production offices
in Washington and Texas.
Our other subsidiaries, Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc. (“Chun-Ha”) and All World Insurance Services, Inc. (“All World”),
were acquired in January 2007. Founded in 1989, Chun-Ha and All World are insurance agencies that offer a complete line of
insurance products, including life, commercial, automobile, health, and property and casualty.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of Hanmi Financial and subsidiaries conform, in all material respects, to U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.
The number of shares of our common stock and the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were adjusted
retroactively for all periods presented to reflect the 1-for-8 reverse stock split, which became effective on December 19, 2011.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hanmi Financial and our wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank,
Chun-Ha and All World. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Significant areas where estimates are
made consist of the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment, investment securities valuations and income taxes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year’s presentation to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, due from banks, overnight federal funds sold and Treasury bills, all of which have
original or purchased maturities of less than 90 days.
69
Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)
Restricted Cash
Effective June 30, 2011, the Bank was required to enter into a reserve account agreement with the SBA to sell loans into the
secondary market. Under the agreement, the Bank was required to maintain a reserve account at a well-capitalized FDIC insured
depository financial institution for the amount equal to the percentage of the guaranteed portion sold into the secondary market. The
reserve account was terminated on February 4, 2013.
Securities
Securities are classified into three categories and accounted for as follows:
(i)
Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and reported at
amortized cost;
(ii) Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future are classified as “trading
securities” and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in earnings; and
(iii) Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading securities are classified as “available for sale” and reported at fair
value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other
comprehensive income, net of income taxes.
Accreted discounts and amortized premiums on investment securities are included in interest income using the effective interest
method over the remaining period to the call date or contractual maturity and, in the case of mortgage-backed securities and securities
with call features, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Unrealized and realized gains or losses related to holding or selling of
securities are calculated using the specific-identification method.
We review investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) or
permanent impairment, taking into consideration current market conditions, fair value in relationship to cost, extent and nature of the
change in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, whether we intend to sell a security or if it is likely that we will be required to
sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity, and other factors.
For debt securities, the classification of OTTI depends on whether we intend to sell the security or if it is more likely than not
that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its costs basis, and on the nature of the impairment. If we intend to sell
a security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is
recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If we do not intend
to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down
is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which
is recognized in other comprehensive income net of tax. A credit loss is the difference between the cost basis of the security and the
present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s effective interest rate at the date of acquisition. The
cost basis of an other than temporarily impaired security is written down by the amount of impairment recognized in earnings. The
new cost basis is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
Loans Receivable
We originate loans for investment, with such designation made at the time of origination. Loans receivable that we have the
intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity, are stated at their outstanding principal, reduced by an allowance
for loan losses and net of deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Non-refundable fees and direct costs associated with the origination or purchase of loans are deferred and netted against outstanding
loan balances. The deferred net loan fees and costs are recognized in interest income as an adjustment to yield over the loan term
using the effective interest method. Discounts or premiums on purchased loans are accreted or amortized to interest income using the
effective interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Interest on loans is
credited to income as earned and is accrued only if deemed collectible. Accretion of discounts and deferred loan fees is discontinued
when loans are placed on non-accrual status.
70
Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is
in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due.
However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending upon the individual
circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When an asset is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid
interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except
when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual assets
may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for non-accrual.
Non-performing assets consist of loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans
restructured with troubled borrowers where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of
interest or principal, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90
days past due unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Additionally, the
Bank may place loans that are not 90 days past due on non-accrual status, if management reasonably believes the borrower will not be
able to comply with the contractual loan repayment terms and collection of principal or interest is in question.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans originated, or transferred from loans receivable, and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of
aggregate cost or fair market value. Fair market value, if lower than cost, is determined based on valuations obtained from market
participants or the value of underlying collateral, calculated individually. A valuation allowance is established if the market value of
such loans is lower than their cost and net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income. Origination fees on loans held for sale, net of certain costs of processing and closing the loans, are deferred until the time of
sale and are included in the computation of the gain or loss from the sale of the related loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan 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 loan loss experience; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; the value of collateral;
and current economic conditions. Our lending is concentrated in commercial, consumer, construction and real estate loans in greater
Los Angeles County and Orange County.
Provisions to allowance for loan losses are made quarterly to recognize probable loan losses. The quarterly provision is based on
the allowance need, which is determined through analysis involving quantitative calculations based on historic loss rates for general
reserves and individual impairment calculations for specific allocations to impaired loans as well as qualitative adjustments.
In the first quarter of 2010, the look-back period was reduced from twelve quarters to eight quarters, with 60 percent weighting
given to the most recent four quarters and 40 percent to the oldest four quarters, to place greater emphasis on losses taken by the Bank
during the economic downturn. In the second quarter of 2013, management reevaluated the look-back period and restored the twelve
quarter look-back period in order to capture a period of higher losses that would have otherwise been excluded. Risk factor
calculations are weighted at 50 percent for the most recent four quarters, 33 percent for the next four quarters, and 17 percent for the
oldest four quarters. Homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for loss potential. The change in methodology maintained the
Bank’s allowance at a level consistent with the prior quarter.
To determine general reserve requirements, existing loans are divided into 11 general loan pools of risk-rated loans as well as
three homogenous loan pools. For risk-rated loans, migration analysis allocates historical losses by loan pool and risk grade to
determine risk factors for potential loss inherent in the current outstanding loan portfolio. In addition, specific reserves are allocated
for loans deemed “impaired.”
When determining the appropriate level for allowance for loan losses, management considers qualitative adjustments for any
factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the Bank’s current portfolio to differ from historical loss
experience, including, but not limited to, national and local economic and business conditions, volume and geographic concentrations,
and problem loan trends.
71
Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)
To systematically quantify the credit risk impact of trends and changes within the loan portfolio, a credit risk matrix is utilized. The
qualitative factors are considered on a loan pool by loan pool basis subsequent to, and in conjunction with, a loss migration analysis. The
credit risk matrix provides various scenarios with positive or negative impact on the portfolio along with corresponding basis points for
qualitative adjustments.
Loan losses are charged off, and recoveries are credited, to the allowance account. Additions to the allowance account are charged
to the provision for credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to absorb
probable losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management based upon an evaluation and review
of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions, changes in the composition of the
loan portfolio, analysis of collateral values and other pertinent factors.
Loans are measured for impairment when it is probable that not all amounts, including principal and interest, will be collected in
accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment and any subsequent changes are
recorded through the provision for credit losses as an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses.
The Bank follows the “Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” and, as an integral part of the
quarterly credit review process, the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are reviewed for adequacy. The
California Department of Business Oversight (“DBO”) and/or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal
Reserve”) require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based upon their assessment of the information
available to them at the time of their examinations.
In general, the Bank will charge off a loan and declare a loss when its collectability is questionable and when the Bank can no
longer justify presenting the loan as an asset on its balance sheet. To determine if a loan should be charged off, all possible sources of
repayment are analyzed, including the potential for future cash flow from income or liquidation of other assets, the value of any
collateral, and the strength of co-makers or guarantors. When these sources do not provide a reasonable probability that principal can be
collected in full, the Bank will fully or partially charge off the loan.
For a real estate loan, including commercial term loans secured by collateral, any impaired portion is considered as loss if the loan
is more than 90 days past due. In a case where the fair value of collateral is less than the loan balance and the borrower has no other
assets or income to support repayment, the amount of the deficiency is considered loss and charged off.
For a commercial and industrial loan other than those secured by real estate, if the borrower is in the process of a bankruptcy filing
in which the Bank is an unsecured creditor or deemed virtually unsecured by lack of collateral equity or lien position and the borrower
has no realizable equity in assets and prospects for recovery are negligible, the loan is considered loss and charged off. Additionally, a
commercial and industrial unsecured loan that is more than 120 days past due is considered loss and charged off.
An unsecured consumer loan where a borrower files for bankruptcy, the loan is considered loss within 60 days of receipt of
notification of filing from the bankruptcy court. Other consumer loans are considered loss if they are more than 90 days past due. Other
events, such as bankruptcy, fraud, or death result in charge offs being recorded in an earlier period.
Impaired Loans
Loans are identified and classified as impaired when it is probable that not all amounts, including principal and interest, will be
collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Bank will consider the following loans as impaired: non-
accrual loans or loans where principal or interest payments have been contractually past due for 90 days or more, unless the loan is both
well-collateralized and in the process of collection; loans classified as troubled debt restructuring loans; or any loan classified as
Substandard that the amount is over 5 percent of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital.
The Bank considers whether the borrower is experiencing problems such as operating losses, marginal working capital, inadequate
cash flow or business deterioration in realizable value. The Bank also considers the financial condition of a borrower who is in industries
or countries experiencing economic or political instability.
When a loan is considered impaired, any future cash receipts on such loans will be treated as either interest income or return of
principal depending upon management’s opinion of the ultimate risk of loss on the individual loan. Cash payments are treated as interest
income where management believes the remaining principal balance is fully collectible.
72
Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)
We evaluate loan impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less
than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses or, alternatively, a
specific allocation will be established. Additionally, impaired loans are specifically excluded from the quarterly migration analysis
when determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses required for the period.
For impaired loans where the impairment amount is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, any impairment that represents the change in present value attributable to the
passage of time is recognized as provision for credit losses.
The amount of interest income recognized on impaired loans using a cash basis method is disclosed in Note 3 – Loans.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
A loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and, for
economic or legal reasons related to these difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower in the restructuring that it would
not otherwise consider. The Bank has granted a concession when, as a result of the restructuring, it does not expect to collect all
amounts due, including principal and/or interest accrued at the original terms of the loan. The concessions may be granted in various
forms, including a below-market change in the stated interest rate, a reduction in the loan balance or accrued interest, an extension of
the maturity date, or a note split with principal forgiveness. All troubled debt restructurings are reviewed for potential impairment.
Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual status for a period of six months to demonstrate that the
borrower can perform under the restructured terms. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the
loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan. Loans classified as TDRs are reported as impaired loans.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. The ranges of useful lives for the
principal classes of assets are as follows:
Buildings and improvements 10 to 30 years
Furniture and equipment
Leasehold improvements
Software
3 to 7 years
Term of lease or useful life, whichever is shorter
3 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” This
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell.
Other Real Estate Owned
Assets acquired through loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new
cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, valuation impairment is recorded through expense. Operating costs after
acquisition are expensed.
73
Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)
Servicing Assets
Servicing assets are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 860,
“Transfers and Servicing.” The fair values of servicing assets represent either the price paid if purchased, or the allocated carrying
amounts based on relative values when retained in a sale. Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing income. The fair value of servicing assets is determined based on the present value of estimated net future cash
flows related to contractually specified servicing fees.
The servicing asset is recorded based on the present value of the contractually specified servicing fee, net of adequate
compensation, for the estimated life of the loan, using a discount rate and a constant prepayment rate. Management periodically
evaluates the servicing asset for impairment. Impairment, if it occurs, is recognized in a valuation allowance in the period of impairment.
Interest-only strips are recorded based on the present value of the excess of total servicing fee over the contractually specified
servicing fee for the estimated life of the loan, calculated using the same assumptions as noted above. Such interest-only strips are
accounted for at their estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recorded as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss).
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets consist of acquired intangible assets arising from acquisitions, including trade names, carrier relationships
and client/insured relationships. The acquired intangible assets were initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
As required by FASB ASC 350, other intangible assets are assessed for impairment or recoverability whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and is required to own common stock in the
FHLB based upon the Bank’s balance of outstanding FHLB advances. FHLB stock is carried at cost and may be sold back to the FHLB
at its carrying value. FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock
dividends received are reported as dividend income.
Federal Reserve Bank Stock
The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) and is required to maintain stock in the FRB based on a
specified ratio relative to the Bank’s capital. FRB stock is carried at cost and may be sold back to the FRB at its carrying value. FRB
stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends received are
reported as dividend income.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
We have purchased single premium life insurance policies (“bank-owned life insurance”) on certain officers. The Bank is the
beneficiary under the policy. In the event of the death of a covered officer, we will receive the specified insurance benefit from the
insurance carrier. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance
sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due, if any, that are probable at settlement.
Affordable Housing Investments
The Bank has invested in limited partnerships formed to develop and operate affordable housing units for lower income tenants
throughout California. The partnership interests are accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting. The costs of the
investments are being amortized on a straight-line method over the life of related tax credits. If the partnerships cease to qualify during
the compliance period, the credits may be denied for any period in which the projects are not in compliance and a portion of the credits
previously taken is subject to recapture with interest. Such investments are recorded in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (Continued)
Income Tax
We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Share-Based Compensation
We adopted FASB ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” on January 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective”
method. Under this method, awards that are granted, modified or settled after December 31, 2005 are measured and accounted for in
accordance with FASB ASC 718. Also under this method, expense is recognized for services attributed to the current period for
unvested awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006, based upon the fair value determined at the grant date under SFAS
No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”
FASB ASC 718 requires that cash flows resulting from the realization of excess tax benefits recognized on awards that were
fully vested at the time of adoption of FASB ASC 718 be classified as a financing cash inflow and an operating cash outflow on the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Before the adoption of FASB ASC 718, we presented all tax benefits realized from the
exercise of stock options as an operating cash inflow.
In addition, FASB ASC 718 requires that any unearned compensation related to awards granted prior to the adoption of FASB
ASC 718 be eliminated against the appropriate equity accounts. As a result, the presentation of stockholders’ equity was revised to
reflect the transfer of the balance previously reported in unearned compensation to additional paid-in capital.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in
the earnings.
Treasury Stock
We use the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. The cost method requires us to record the reacquisition cost of treasury
stock as a deduction from stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
FASB ASU 2014-04 “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon
Foreclosure (Topic 310-40)” was issued to define a term in substance a repossession or foreclosure and physical possession in
accounting literature and when a creditor should derecognize the loan receivable and recognize the real estate property. The
amendments in this update are intended to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure
occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property
collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property
recognized. The amendment is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of FASB ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on our
financial condition or result of operations.
FASB ASU 2014-01 “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (Topic 323)” was issued to
provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in
affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The amendments in this update permit reporting

entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the
proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the
initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment
performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendment is effective for public business
entities for annual periods and interim presorting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The
adoption of FASB ASU 2014-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial condition or result of operations.
FASB ASU 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax
Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (Topic 740)” was issued to improve the reporting for unrecognized tax benefits when a
net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The pronouncement is expected to reduce
diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in
which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax
position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The pronouncement is effective
prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this
pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”
was issued to address concerns raised in the initial issuance of ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” For items
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income in their entirety, entities must disclose the effect of the
reclassification on each affected net income line item. For accumulated other comprehensive income reclassification items that are not
reclassified in their entirety into net income, entities must provide a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. This
information may be provided either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports net income as long as all
the information is disclosed in a single location. However, an entity is prohibited from providing this information parenthetically on
the face of the statement that reports net income if it has items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income. The
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. The
adoption of FASB ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or result of operations.

All individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of December 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012 had investment grade ratings upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these
securities and the various rating agencies have reaffirmed these securities’ long-term investment grade status as of December 31, 2013. These
securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated.
FASB ASC 320 requires other-than-temporarily impaired investment securities to be written down when fair value is below amortized cost
in circumstances where: (1) an entity has the intent to sell a security; (2) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security
before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If an entity
intends to sell a security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is
recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to
sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into
an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other
comprehensive income.
The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before
the recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the unrealized losses on municipal and corporate bonds are not considered other-than-
temporarily impaired as the bonds are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with the issuers. 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 December 31,
2013 and 2012 were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no impairment charges as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were
warranted.

Note 3 — Loans
The Board of Directors and management review and approve the Bank’s loan policy and procedures on a regular basis to reflect
issues such as regulatory and organizational structure changes, strategic planning revisions, concentrations of credit, loan
delinquencies and non-performing loans, problem loans, and policy adjustments.
Real estate loans are loans secured by liens or interest in real estate, to provide purchase, construction, and refinance on real
estate properties. Commercial and industrial loans consist of commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit, and Small Business
Administration (“SBA”) loans. Consumer loans consist of auto loans, credit cards, personal loans, and home equity lines of credit. We
maintain management loan review and monitoring departments that review and monitor pass graded loans as well as problem loans to
prevent further deterioration.
Concentrations of Credit: The majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate and commercial and
industrial loans. The Bank has been diversifying and monitoring commercial real estate loans based on property types, tightening
underwriting standards, and portfolio liquidity and management, and has not exceeded certain specified limits set forth in the Bank’s
loan policy. Most of the Bank’s lending activity occurs within Southern California.

evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our loan portfolio, we utilize an internal loan grading system to
identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade (from (0) to (8)) for each and every loan in our loan portfolio. A third-party loan
review is required on an annual basis. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan grade definitions
are as follows:
Pass: Pass loans, grades (0) to (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 (5),” “Substandard (6)” or “Doubtful (7).”
This category is the strongest level of the Bank’s loan grading system. It incorporates all performing loans with no credit weaknesses.
It includes cash and stock/security secured loans or other investment grade loans. The following are sub categories within the Pass
category, or grades (0) to (4):
Pass (0): Loans or commitments secured in full by cash or cash equivalents.

Pass (3):
Pass (4):
Loans or commitments requiring a very strong, well-structured credit relationship with an established borrower.
The relationship should be supported by audited financial statements indicating cash flow well in excess of debt
service requirements, excellent liquidity, and very strong capital.
Loans or commitments requiring a well-structured credit that may not be as seasoned or as high quality as
grade (1). Capital, liquidity, debt service capacity, and collateral coverage must all be well above average. This
grade includes individuals with substantial net worth supported by liquid assets and strong income.
Loans or commitments to borrowers exhibiting a fully acceptable credit risk. These borrowers should have
sound balance sheets and significant cash flow coverage, although they may be somewhat more leveraged and
exhibit greater fluctuations in earning and financing but generally would be considered very attractive to the
Bank as a borrower. The borrower has historically demonstrated the ability to manage economic adversity.
Real estate and asset-based loans with this grade must have characteristics that place them well above the
minimum underwriting requirements. Asset-based borrowers assigned this grade must exhibit extremely
favorable leverage and cash flow characteristics and consistently demonstrate a high level of unused borrowing
capacity.
Loans or commitments to borrowers exhibiting either somewhat weaker balance sheets or positive, but
inconsistent, cash flow coverage. These borrowers may exhibit somewhat greater credit risk, and as a result, the
Bank may have secured its exposure to mitigate the risk. If so, the collateral taken should provide an
unquestionable ability to repay the indebtedness in full through liquidation, if necessary. Cash flows should be
adequate to cover debt service and fixed obligations, although there may be a question about the borrower’s
ability to provide alternative sources of funds in emergencies. Better quality real estate and asset-based
borrowers who fully comply with all underwriting standards and are performing according to projections would
be assigned this grade.
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 of the debt and result in a Substandard
classification. Loans 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, 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 classified as Loss, grade (8), is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active
bank assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan 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 classified
Loss will be charged off in a timely manner.

Impaired Loans
Loans are considered impaired when non-accrual and principal or interest payments have been contractually past due for 90 days
or more, unless the loan is both well-collateralized and in the process of collection; or they are classified as TDR loans to offer terms
not typically granted by the Bank; or when current information or events make it unlikely to collect in full according to the
contractual terms of the loan 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 impairment in accordance with applicable GAAP. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs to sell. If the measure of the impaired loan is less
than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses or, alternatively, a
specific allocation will be established. Additionally, loans that are considered impaired are specifically excluded from the quarterly
migration analysis when determining the amount of the allowance for loan 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 non-performing. We continue to monitor the collateral
coverage, using recent appraisals, on these loans on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance accordingly.

Non-Accrual Loans
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is
in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due,
unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we
may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s
delinquency. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income.
Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal
is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when
principal and interest payments become current and full repayment is expected.

Loans on non-accrual status, excluding loans held for sale, totaled $25.9 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $37.3
million as of December 31, 2012, representing a 30.6 percent decrease. Delinquent loans (defined as 30 days or more past due),
excluding loans held for sale, were $16.3 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $16.5 million as of December 31, 2012,
representing a 1.2 percent decrease.
As of December 31, 2013, there were three OREOs located in Washington and California with a combined carrying value of
$756,000 and a valuation adjustment of $56,000. As of December 31, 2012, there were two OREOs located in Illinois and Virginia
with a combined carrying value of $774,000 and no valuation adjustment.
Troubled Debt Restructuring
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt
Restructuring,” which clarifies the guidance for evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. This guidance is effective for
the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the
annual period of adoption. For the purposes of measuring impairment of loans that are newly considered impaired, the guidance
should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.
As a result of the amendments in ASU 2011-02, we reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the
annual period and identified certain receivables as TDRs. Upon identifying those receivables as TDRs, we considered them impaired
and applied the impairment measurement guidance prospectively for those receivables newly identified as impaired.

As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, total TDRs, excluding loans held for sale, were $30.0 million, $35.7 million and $51.4 million, respectively. A debt
restructuring is considered a TDR if we grant a concession that we would not have otherwise considered to the borrower, for economic or legal reasons related to the
borrower’s financial difficulties. Loans are considered to be TDRs if they were restructured through payment structure modifications such as reducing the amount of
principal and interest due monthly and/or allowing for interest only monthly payments for six months or less. All TDRs are impaired and are individually evaluated for
specific impairment using one of these three criteria: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the
loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
At December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, TDRs, excluding loans held for sale, were subjected to specific impairment analysis, and $2.8 million, $3.6 million and
$14.2 million, respectively, of reserves relating to these loans were included in the allowance for loan losses.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we restructured monthly payments on 33 loans, with a net carrying value of $8.6 million as of December 31, 2013,
through temporary payment structure modifications or re-amortization. For the restructured loans on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial
capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms,
performance and collection under the revised terms are probable.

Note 8 — Income Taxes
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740, the Company periodically reviews its income tax positions based on tax
laws and regulations and financial reporting considerations, and records adjustments as appropriate. This review takes into
consideration the status of current taxing authorities’ examinations of the Company’s tax returns, recent positions taken by the taxing
authorities on similar transactions, if any, and the overall tax environment.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years
Lapse of statute of limitations
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of year

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect our effective tax rate if recognized was $1.0 million as of
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, there was no addition in unrecognized tax benefit except increases in accrued interest.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $27,000 in connection with the tax position taken on
expense related to prior business acquisition cost. For the year ended December 31, 2011, unrecognized tax benefits increased by
$341,000 in connection with the tax position taken on expense related to non-qualified stock option and prior business acquisition
costs.
In 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company accrued interest of $45,000, $41,000 and $181,000 for uncertain tax benefits,
respectively. As of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the total amounts of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, net of
federal tax benefit, were $403,000, $360,000 and $319,000, respectively. We account for interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions as part of our provision for federal and state income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related
tax liability line on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unrecognized tax benefits primarily include state exposures from California Enterprise Zone interest deductions and income tax
treatment for prior business acquisition costs, dividend income from FRB stock and expense related to non-qualified stock options.
We believe that it is reasonably possible that certain remaining unrecognized tax positions, each of which are individually
insignificant, may be recognized by the end of 2014 because of a lapse of the statute of limitations. We do not anticipate any material
change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company was subject to examination by various federal and state tax authorities for the years
ended December 31, 2004 through 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was subjected to audit or examination by Internal
Revenue Service for the 2009 tax year and California FTB for the 2008 and 2009 tax years. Management does not anticipate any
material changes in our financial statements due to the result of the audits.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s net deferred tax assets were primarily the result of net operating loss carryforwards,
allowance for loan losses and unrealized loss on securities available for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company
recorded a net valuation allowance release of $62.6 million based on management’s reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax
assets that are more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance of $82.3 million was recorded against its gross deferred tax
asset balance as of December 31, 2011.
As of each reporting date, management considers the realization of deferred tax assets based on management’s judgment of
various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income, as well as the implementation of various
tax planning strategies to maximize realization of deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than
not that some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2013, management determined that no valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets is required, as management believes it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized

principally through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Management further believes that future taxable income
will be sufficient to realize the benefits of temporary deductible differences that cannot be realized through carry-back to prior years
or through the reversal of future temporary taxable differences.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $31.2 million and $186.3 million for federal
and state income tax purposes, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2031.

As part of the agreement dated as of July 27, 2010 with Cappello Capital Corp., the placement agent in connection with our best
efforts offering and the financial advisor in connection with our completed rights offering, we issued warrants to purchase 250,000
shares of our common stock for services performed. The warrants have an exercise price of $9.60 per share. According to the
agreement, the warrants vested on October 14, 2010 and are exercisable until its expiration on October 14, 2015. The Company
followed the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 815- 40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock,” which establishes
a framework for determining whether certain freestanding and embedded instruments are indexed to a company’s own stock for
purposes of evaluation of the accounting for such instruments under existing accounting literature. Under GAAP, the issuer is
required to measure the fair value of the equity instruments in the transaction as of earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for
performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is
complete. The fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance totaling $2.0 million was recorded as a liability and a cost of equity,
which was determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected stock volatility was based on historical volatility of
our common stock over the expected term of the warrants. We used a weighted average expected stock volatility of 111.46 percent.
The expected life assumption was based on the contract term of five years. The dividend yield of zero was based on the fact that we
had no intention to pay cash dividends for the term at the grant date. The risk free rate of 2.07 percent used for the warrants was equal
to the zero coupon rate in effect at the time of the grant.
Upon re-measuring the fair value of the stock warrants remaining, the fair value was $2,000 at December 31, 2013, compared to
$906,000 at December 31, 2012. We used a weighted average expected stock volatility of 25.97 percent and a remaining contractual
life of 1.6 years based on the contract terms. We also used a dividend yield of 1.29 percent and the risk free rate of 0.43 percent used
for the warrants was equal to the zero coupon rate in effect at the end of the measurement period.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, there was a $1.0 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to
gains in earnings resulting from the redemption and sale of available-for-sale securities. The $1.0 million reclassification adjustment out of
accumulated other comprehensive income was included in net gain on sales of investment securities under non-interest income. The
securities were previously recorded as an unrealized gain of $3.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive income.
For the years ended December 31, 2012, there was a $1.1 million reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to
gains in earnings, which resulted from the redemption and sale of available-for-sale securities, and a $292,000 reclassification from other
comprehensive loss to OTTI charge in earnings, which resulted from write-down of the value of investment securities to its fair value. The
reclassification adjustments of a $1.4 million gain and a $292,000 loss out of accumulated other comprehensive income were included in net
gain on sales of investment securities and impairment loss on investment securities, respectively, under non-interest income. The securities
were previously recorded as an unrealized gain of $1.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Note 11 — Regulatory Matters
Risk-Based Capital
Federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based
guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to
average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent.
In order for banks to be considered “well capitalized,” federal bank regulatory agencies require them to maintain a minimum ratio of
qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0 percent. In
addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require depository institutions to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1
capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 5.0 percent.

Regulatory Capital Rule Adjustments
In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved the Basel III regulatory capital framework and related Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes. The rules revise minimum capital requirements and adjust prompt corrective action
thresholds. The rules also revise the regulatory capital elements, add a new common equity Tier I capital ratio, and increase the
minimum Tier I capital ratio requirement. The revisions permit banking organizations to retain, through a one-time election, the
existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. Additionally, the rules implement a new capital conservation buffer.
Under the final rules, institutions are subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying
discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the capital conservation buffer amount. The rules will become effective January 1,
2015 for smaller, non-complex banking organizations with full implementation of the capital conservation buffer and certain
deductions and adjustments to regulatory capital through January 1, 2019. The Company will continue to evaluate the new changes,
and expects that the Company and the Bank will meet the capital requirements.

Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the
exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level fair
value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:
•
•
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to
access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities,
quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data.
•
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Fair value is used on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting.
Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes.
We record investment securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held for
sale, impaired loans, other real estate owned, and other intangible assets, are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-
recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any
impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument below:
Investment securities available for sale – The fair values of investment securities available for sale are determined by obtaining
quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix
pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted
prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities, or other
model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curve, prepayment speeds, and
default rates. Level 1 investment securities include U.S. government and agency debentures and equity securities that are traded on an
active exchange or by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. The fair value of these securities is determined by quoted
prices on an active exchange or over-the-counter market. Level 2 investment securities primarily include mortgage-backed securities,
municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, and SBA loan pool securities. In determining the fair value of the securities
categorized as Level 2, we obtain reports from nationally recognized broker-dealers detailing the fair value of each investment
security held as of each reporting date. The broker-dealers use prices obtained from nationally recognized pricing services to value
our fixed income securities. The fair value of the municipal bonds is determined based on a proprietary model maintained by the
broker-dealers. We review the prices obtained for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and also consider
any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and as they are based
on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 investment securities are
instruments that are not traded in the market. As such, no observable market data for the instrument is available, which necessitates
the use of significant unobservable inputs.
As of December 31, 2013, we had a zero coupon tax credit municipal bond of $748,000, compared to $779,000 as of
December 31, 2012. This bond was recorded at estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow method, and was measured on a
recurring basis with Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the tax credit bond as of December 31, 2013
were discount rate and cash flows. The discount rate was derived from the term structure of Bank Qualified (“BQ”) “A-” rated
municipal bonds, as the tax credit bond’s guarantee had the similar credit strength. The contractual future cash flows were the tax
credits to be received for a remaining life of 1.2 years. If the discount rate is adjusted down to the term structure of BQ “BBB-” rating
municipal bonds, the tax credit bond’s value would decline by 0.61 percent. We do not anticipate a significant deterioration of the tax
credit bond’s credit quality. Management reviews the discount rate on an ongoing basis based on current market rates.
SBA loans held for sale – SBA loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. As of December 31, 2013 and
2012, we had zero and $7.8 million of SBA loans held for sale, respectively. Management obtains quotes, bids or pricing
indication sheets on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received
on the quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At December 31, 2012, the
entire balance of SBA loans held for sale was recorded at its cost. We record SBA loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis with
Level 2 inputs.
Non-performing loans held for sale – We reclassify certain non-performing loans as held for sale when we decide to sell those
loans. The fair value of non-performing loans held for sale is generally based upon the quotes, bids or sales contract prices which
approximate their fair value. Non-performing loans held for sale are recorded at estimated fair value less anticipated liquidation cost.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had zero and $484,000 of non-performing loans held for sale, respectively, which are
measured on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it was practicable to
estimate that value are explained below:
Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments (Level 1).
Restricted cash – The carrying amount of restricted cash approximates its fair value (Level 1).
Investment securities – The fair value of investment securities, consisting of investment securities available for sale, is generally
obtained from market bids for similar or identical securities, from independent securities brokers or dealers, or from other model-based
valuation techniques described above (Level 1, 2 and 3).
Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses – The fair value for loans receivable is estimated based on the discounted cash
flow approach. The discount rate was derived from the associated yield curve plus spreads and reflects the offering rates offered by the
Bank for loans with similar financial characteristics. Yield curves are constructed by product and payment types. These rates could be
different from what other financial institutions could offer for these loans. No adjustments have been made for changes in credit within
the loan portfolio. It is our opinion that the allowance for loan losses relating to performing and nonperforming loans results in a fair
valuation of such loans. Additionally, the fair value of our loans may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had
a ready market existed for such loans and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize (Level 3).
Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair market value, as determined based upon
quotes, bids or sales contract prices, or as may be assessed based upon the fair value of the collateral which is obtained from recent real
estate appraisals (Level 2). Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between
the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustment is typically significant and results in Level 3 classification of the
inputs for determining fair value.

Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value (Level 1).
Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock – The carrying amounts of investment in FHLB and
FRB stock approximate fair value as such stock may be resold to the issuer at carrying value (Level 1).
Non-interest-bearing deposits – The fair value of non-interest-bearing deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date (Level 2).
Interest-bearing deposits – The fair value of interest-bearing deposits, such as savings accounts, money market checking, and
certificates of deposit, is estimated based on discounted cash flows. The cash flows for non-maturity deposits, including savings
accounts and money market checking, are estimated based on their historical decaying experiences. The discount rate used for fair
valuation is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on comparable deposits as to amount and term (Level 3).
Borrowings – Borrowings consist of FHLB advances, junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings. Discounted cash
flows based on current market rates for borrowings with similar remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of borrowings
(Level 3).
Accrued interest payable – The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value (Level 1).
Stock warrants – The fair value of stock warrants is determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected stock
volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock over expected term of the warrants. The expected life assumption is
based on the contract term and dividend yield is based on the company’s annual dividend divided by the current share price. The risk
free rate used for the warrants is equal to the zero coupon rate in effect at the time of the grant (Level 3).
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit – The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit are based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Bank has committed to
make the loans (Level 3).
Note 13 — Share-based Compensations
At December 31, 2013, we had three incentive plans, the Year 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), the 2007 Equity
Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) which replaced the 2000 Plan and the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan” and
with the 2000 Plan and 2007 Plan, the “Plans”) which replaced the 2007 Plan.
The 2013 Plan provides awards of any options, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit award, share
granted as a bonus or in lieu of another award, dividend equivalent, other stock-based award or performance award, together with any
other right or interest to a participant under the plan. Plan participant includes executives and other employees, officers, directors,
consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company or its related entities. Although no future stock options may be
granted under the 2007 Plan and 2000 Plan, certain employees, directors and officers of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries still hold
options to purchase Hanmi Financial common stock under the 2013 Plan.
Under the 2013 Plan, we may grant equity incentive awards for up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31,
2013, 1,078,668 shares were still available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

Stock Options
All stock options granted under the Plans have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock
on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the Plans generally vest based on three to five years of continuous service and expire
10 years from the date of grant. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as
defined in the Plan). New shares of common stock are issued or treasury shares are utilized upon the exercise of stock options.
The weighted-average estimated fair value per share of options granted under the Plans was as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2013

pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected volatility was determined based on the historical weekly volatility of our stock price over a period equal to the
expected term of the options granted. The expected term of the options represents the period that options granted are expected to be
outstanding based primarily on the historical exercise behavior associated with previous option grants. The risk-free interest rate was
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for a period equal to the expected term of the options granted.

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards under the Plans become fully vested after three to five years of continued employment from the date of
grant. Hanmi Financial becomes entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders
of the restricted shares when the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Restricted shares are forfeited if officers and
employees terminate prior to the lapsing of restrictions. Forfeitures of restricted stock are treated as cancelled shares.

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated on both a basic and a diluted basis. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings, excluding common shares
in treasury. Unvested restricted stock is excluded from the calculation of weighted-average common shares for basic EPS. For diluted
EPS, weighted-average common shares include the impact of restricted stock under the treasury method.

of unvested restricted stock outstanding, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their effect
would be anti-dilutive.
Note 15 — Employee Benefits
401(k) Plan
We have a Section 401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all of our employees. We match 75 percent of participant
contributions to the 401(k) plan up to 8 percent of each 401(k) plan participant’s annual compensation. Contributions to the 401(k)
plan were $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
In 2001 and 2004, we purchased single premium life insurance policies called bank-owned life insurance covering certain
officers. The Bank is the beneficiary under the policy. In the event of the death of a covered officer, we will receive the specified
insurance benefit from the insurance carrier.
Deferred Compensation Plan
Effective November 1, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Hanmi Financial Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan
(the “DCP”). The DCP is unfunded, and a non-qualified deferred compensation program for directors and certain key employees
whereby they may defer a portion of annual compensation for payment upon retirement of the amount deferred plus a guaranteed
return. The liabilities for the deferred compensation plan and interest thereon were zero both as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Litigation
In the normal course of business, we are involved in various legal claims. Management has reviewed all legal claims against us
with in-house or outside legal counsel and has taken into consideration the views of such counsel as to the outcome of the claims. In
management’s opinion, the final disposition of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
Note 17 — Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved with on-balance sheet
items recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates
each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon
extension of credit, was based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and income-producing or
borrower-occupied properties. The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:

Note 18 — Liquidity
Hanmi Financial
Management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its operating cash needs
through December 31, 2014. Hanmi Financial redeemed $30.9 million of trust preferred securities (“TPS”) in March 2013, and fully
paid the remaining $51.5 million of TPS in April 2013.
Hanmi Bank
The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow
requirements of our customers who either wish to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs.
Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s
primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically
consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits. As of December 31, 2013, the Bank had no brokered deposits, and had a FHLB
advance of $127.5 million compared to $2.9 million as of December 31, 2012.
We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary
source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30 percent of its total assets. As of December 31,
2013, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $343.3
million and $215.8 million, respectively, compared to $275.1 million and $272.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The
Bank’s FHLB borrowings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $127.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which represented
4.17 percent and 0.10 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by
the Bank, and the advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB from time to time. To
the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing
borrowings, fund existing and future loans and investment securities and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital
expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.
As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank had an available borrowing source of $87.1 million from the Federal Reserve
Discount Window (the “Fed Discount Window”), to which the Bank pledged loans with a carrying value of $118.4 million, and had
no borrowings as of December 31, 2013. In December 2012, the Bank established a line of credit with Raymond James & Associates,
Inc. for repurchase agreements up to a maximum of $100.0 million.
The Bank has Contingency Funding Plans (“CFPs”) designed to ensure that liquidity sources are sufficient to meet its ongoing
obligations and commitments, particularly in the event of a liquidity contraction. The CFPs are designed to examine and quantify its
liquidity under various “stress” scenarios. Furthermore, the CFPs provide a framework for management and other critical personnel to
follow in the event of a liquidity contraction or in anticipation of such an event. The CFPs address authority for activation and
decision making, liquidity options and the responsibilities of key departments in the event of a liquidity contraction.
Note 19 — Segment Reporting
Through our branch network and lending units, we provide a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies
located primarily in Southern California. These services include demand, time and savings deposits; and commercial and industrial,
real estate and consumer lending. While our chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of our various products and services,
operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, we consider all of our
operations to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
