NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.	BBCN Bancorp, Inc.

BBCN Bancorp, Inc. ("BBCN Bancorp" on a parent-only basis and the "Company" on a consolidated basis), headquartered in Los Angeles, California, is the holding company for BBCN Bank ("BBCN Bank" or the "Bank"). The Bank has branches in California, New Jersey, and the New York City, Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas, as well as loan production offices in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Northern California, Seattle and Annandale. The Company is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.


2.	Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), except for the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2013 which was derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BBCN Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, principally BBCN Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has made all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, that in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position at September 30, 2014 and the results of operations for the three and nine months then ended. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance and provision for loan losses, the evaluation of other than temporary impairment of investment securities, accounting for derivatives and hedging activities, the determination of the carrying value for cash surrender value of life insurance, the determination of the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, accounting for deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances, the determination of the fair values of investment securities and other financial instruments, accounting for lease arrangements, accounting for incentive compensation, profit sharing and bonus payments, and the valuation of servicing assets.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

FASB ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU No. 2014-01, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. These amendments 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. Disclosures for a change in accounting principle are required upon transition. ASU 2014-01 is effective for for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

FASB ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. The amendment intends to clarify the terms defining when an in substance foreclosure occurs, which determines when the receivable should be derecognized and the

real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2014. ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved.

3.	Business Combinations

The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under ASC 805 - Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes 100 percent of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Management utilizes valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Where amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred as merger and integration expense.

Acquisition of Foster Bankshares, Inc.

On August 13, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Foster Bankshares, Inc. ("Foster"), the holding company of Foster Bank. The Company acquired Foster in order to expand its market in Illinois and into Virginia. Foster's primary subsidiary, Foster Bank, operated eight branches in Illinois and one branch in Virginia.

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Foster shareholders can elect to receive a cash price of $34.6703 per share or, for shareholders who qualified as accredited investors, 2.62771 shares of Company common stock for each share of Foster common stock.

Acquired Loans

The Company estimated the fair value for most loans acquired by utilizing a methodology wherein loans with comparable characteristics were aggregated by type of collateral, remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows for each pool were determined by estimating future credit losses and prepayment rates. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans to determine the fair value of each pool. To estimate the fair value of the remaining loans, management analyzed the value of the underlying collateral of the loans, assuming the fair values of the loans were derived from the eventual sale of the collateral. The value of the collateral was based on recently completed appraisals adjusted to the valuation date based on recognized industry indices. The Company discounted those values using market derived rates of return, with consideration given to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure and disposition of the collateral. There was no carryover of the allowance for loan losses associated with the loans the Company acquired as the loans were initially recorded at fair value. The following table presents loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality as of the date of acquisition:



	Foster		PIB
	(In thousands)
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	150,430	$	54,462
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount)	37,447		9,687
Expected cash flows at acquisition	112,983		44,775
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)	14,928		4,945
Fair value of acquired impaired loans	$	98,055	$	39,830

The outstanding principal balances and the related carrying amounts of the acquired loans included in the statement of financial condition are $197.6 million and $167.2 million, respectively, for Foster and $78.3 million and $71.0 million, respectively, for PIB, as of September 30, 2014.

4.	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based incentive plan, the 2007 BBCN Bancorp Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan, approved by our stockholders on May 31, 2007, was amended and restated on July 25, 2007 and again on December 1, 2011. The 2007 Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, performance shares and performance units (sometimes referred to individually or collectively as “awards”) to non-employee directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Stock options may be either incentive stock options (“ISOs”), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”).

The 2007 Plan gives the Company flexibility to (i) attract and retain qualified non-employee directors, executives and other key employees and consultants with appropriate equity-based awards; (ii) motivate high levels of performance; (iii) recognize employee contributions to the Company’s success; and (iv) align the interests of the 2007 Plan participants with those of the Company’s stockholders. The exercise price for shares under an ISO may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date the award is granted under Code Section 422. Similarly, under the terms of the 2007 Plan the exercise price for SARs and NQSOs may not be less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant. Performance units are awarded to a participant at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award (after the lapse of the restriction period and the attainment of the performance criteria). No minimum exercise price is prescribed for performance shares and restricted stock awarded under the 2007 Plan.

ISOs, SARs and NQSOs have vesting periods of three to five years and have 10-year contractual terms. Restricted stock, performance shares, and performance units will be granted with a restriction period of not less than one year from the grant date for performance-based awards and not more than three years from the grant date for time-based vesting of grants. Compensation expense for awards is recognized over the vesting period.

The Company has another stock-based incentive plan, the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, adopted April 12, 2006, as amended and restated June 13, 2007 (the "2006 Plan"). The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options to officers and employees and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards to employees (including officers) and non-employee directors. The option prices of all options granted under the 2006 Plan must be not less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. All options granted generally vest at the rate of 20% per year except that the options granted to the non-employee directors vest at the rate of 33% per year. All options not exercised generally expire ten years after the date of grant.

Under the 2007 Plan and 2006 Plan, 2,504,022 shares were available for future grants as of September 30, 2014.

The total shares reserved for issuance will serve as the underlying value for all equity awards under the 2007 Plan and 2006 Plan. With the exception of the shares underlying stock options and restricted stock awards, the board of directors may choose to settle the awards by paying the equivalent cash value or by delivering the appropriate number of shares.

5.	Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS does not reflect the possibility of dilution that could result from the issuance of additional shares of common stock upon exercise or conversion of outstanding securities, and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock that would then share in our earnings. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, stock options and restricted shares awards for 111,256 shares and 126,116 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were antidilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, stock options and restricted shares awards for 90,821 shares and 171,350 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were antidilutive. Additionally, warrants, issued pursuant to the Company's participation in the U.S. Treasury's TARP Capital Purchase Plan, to purchase 18,607 shares and 18,208 shares of common stock were antidilutive and excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following tables show the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

* Investments in U.S. Government agency and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI") on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the length of time and the extent to which the fair values of the securities have been less than the cost of the securities, and management's intention to sell, or whether it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company considers, among other considerations, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

The Company has certain collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of September 30, 2014. The trust preferred securities at September 30, 2014 had an amortized cost of $4.5 million and an unrealized loss of $477 thousand at September 30, 2014. The trust preferred securities are scheduled to mature in May 2047. These securities are rated investment grade and there are no credit quality concerns with the obligor. Certain of the collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities were also in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of September 30, 2014. These securities were issued by U.S. Government agency and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises and have high credit ratings of "AA" grade or better. Interest on the trust preferred securities and the U.S. Government agency and U.S. Government sponsored enterprise investments have been paid as agreed, and management believes this will continue in the future and that the securities will be repaid in full as scheduled. The market value declines for these securities are deemed to be due to the current market volatility and are not reflective of management’s expectations of its ability to fully recover these investments, which may be at maturity. For these reasons, no OTTI was recognized on the trust preferred securities and the U.S. Government agency and U.S. Government sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities that are in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2014.

The Company considers the losses on the investments in unrealized loss positions at September 30, 2014 to be temporary based on: 1) the likelihood of recovery; 2) the information relative to the extent and duration of the decline in market value; and 3) the Company’s intention not to sell, and management's determination that it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

The loan portfolio is made up of four segments: real estate loans, commercial business, trade finance and consumer and other. These segments are further segregated between loans accounted for under the amortized cost method ("Legacy Loans") and acquired loans that were originally recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related pre-acquisition allowance for loan losses ("Acquired Loans"). Acquired Loans are further segregated between Acquired Credit Impaired Loans (loans with credit deterioration on the acquisition date and accounted for under ASC 310-30, or "ACILs") and Acquired Performing Loans (loans that were pass graded on the acquisition date and the fair value adjustment is amortized over the contractual life under ASC 310-20, or "APLs").

The following table presents changes in the accretable discount on the ACILs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	28,284		$	37,090		$	47,398		$	18,651
Additions due to acquisitions during the period	—			14,928			—			19,873
Accretion	(3,790		)	(4,250		)	(12,854		)	(11,281		)
Changes in expected cash flows	2,191			5,689			(7,859		)	26,214
Balance at end of period	$	26,685		$	53,457		$	26,685		$	53,457

On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value of the ACILs is the “accretable yield.” The accretable yield is then measured at each financial reporting date and represents the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the loans. The accretable yield will change from period to period due to the following: 1) estimates of the remaining life of acquired loans will affect the amount of future interest income; 2) indices for variable rates of interest on ACILs may change; and 3) estimates of the amount of the contractual principal and interest that will not be collected (nonaccretable difference) may change.

Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or management deems the collectibility of the principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by regulatory requirements. Loans to a customer whose financial condition has deteriorated are considered for nonaccrual status whether or not the loan is 90 days or more past due. Generally, payments received on nonaccrual loans are recorded as principal reductions. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

⁽¹⁾	The Acquired Loans exclude ACILs.

⁽²⁾Nonaccrual loans exclude guaranteed portion of delinquent SBA loans that are in liquidation totaling $27.5 million.

Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans and the accretable discount is accreted to interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, ACILs that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans. The loans may be classified as nonaccrual if the timing and amount of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes all non-homogeneous loans. This analysis is performed at least on a quarterly basis. The definitions for risk ratings are as follows:


•	Pass: Loans that meet a preponderance or more of the Company's underwriting criteria and evidence an acceptable level of risk.


•	Special Mention: Loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Table of Contents


•	Substandard: Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


•	Doubtful/Loss: Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management based upon an evaluation and review of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss experience, relevant internal and external factors that affect the collection of a loan, and other pertinent factors.

Migration analysis is a formula methodology derived from the Bank's actual historical net charge off experience for each loan class (type) pool and risk grade. The migration analysis ("Migration Analysis") is centered on the Bank's internal credit risk rating system. Management's internal loan review and external contracted credit review examinations are used to determine and validate loan risk grades. This credit review system takes into consideration factors such as: borrower's background and experience; historical and current financial condition; credit history and payment performance; economic conditions and their impact on various industries; type, fair value and volatility of the fair value of collateral; lien position; and the financial strength of any guarantors.

Table of Contents

A general loan loss allowance is provided on loans not specifically identified as impaired (“non-impaired loans”). The Bank's general loan loss allowance has two components: quantitative and qualitative risk factors. The quantitative risk factors are based on a migration analysis methodology described above. The loans are classified by class and risk grade and the historical loss migration is tracked for the various classes. Loss experience is quantified for a specified period and then weighted to place more significance on the most recent loss history. That loss experience is then applied to the stratified portfolio at each quarter end. For ACILs, a general loan loss allowance is provided to the extent that there has been credit deterioration since the date of acquisition.

Additionally, in order to systematically quantify the credit risk impact of other trends and changes within the loan portfolio, the Bank utilizes qualitative adjustments to the Migration Analysis within established parameters. The parameters for making adjustments are established under a Credit Risk Matrix that provides seven possible scenarios for each of the factors below. The matrix allows for up to three positive (Major, Moderate, and Minor), three negative (Major, Moderate, and Minor), and one neutral credit risk scenarios within each factor for each loan type pool. However, if information exists to warrant adjustment to the Migration Analysis, changes are made in accordance with the established parameters supported by narrative and/or statistical analysis. The Credit Risk Matrix and the nine possible scenarios enable the Bank to qualitatively adjust the Loss Migration Ratio by as much as 50 basis points in either direction (positive or negative) for each loan type pool. This matrix considers the following nine factors, which are patterned after the guidelines provided under the FFIEC Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses:


•	Changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge off, and recovery practices;


•	Changes in national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments;


•	Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio;


•	Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff;


•	Changes in the trends of the volume and severity of past due loans, Classified Loans, nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and other loan modifications;


•	Changes in the quality of our loan review system and the degree of oversight by the Directors;


•	Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;


•	The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and


•	The effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated losses in our loan portfolio.

The Company also establishes specific loss allowances for loans that have identified potential credit risk conditions or circumstances related to a specific individual credit. The specific allowance amounts are determined by a method prescribed by FASB ASC 310-10-35-22, Measurement of Impairment. The loans identified as impaired will be accounted for in accordance with one of the three acceptable valuation methods: 1) the present value of 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. For the collateral dependent impaired loans, management obtains a new appraisal to determine the amount of impairment as of the date that the loan became impaired. The appraisals are based on an “as is” valuation. To ensure that appraised values remain current, management either obtains updated appraisals every twelve months from a qualified independent appraiser or an internal evaluation of the collateral is performed by qualified personnel. If the third party market data indicates that the value of the collateral property has declined since the most recent valuation date, management adjusts the value of the property downward to reflect current market conditions. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded amount of the loan, management recognizes impairment by creating or adjusting an existing valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses. If an impaired loan is expected to be collected through liquidation of the underlying collateral, the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent and the amount of impairment is charged off against the allowance for loan losses.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that not all amounts due (principal and interest) will be collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls is determined on a case-by-case basis by taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

For commercial business loans, real estate loans and certain consumer loans, management bases the measurement of loan impairment on the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair

Table of Contents

value of the loan's collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Management evaluates most consumer loans for impairment on a collective basis because these loans generally have smaller balances and are homogeneous in the underwriting of terms and conditions and in the type of collateral.

For ACILs, the allowance for loan losses is based upon expected cash flows for these loans. To the extent that a deterioration in borrower credit quality results in a decrease in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition of the loans, an allowance for loan losses would be established based on an estimate of future credit losses over the remaining life of the loans.

Under certain circumstances, the Company provides borrowers relief through loan modifications. These modifications are either temporary in nature (“temporary modifications”) or are more substantive. At September 30, 2014, total modified loans

Table of Contents

were $77.7 million, compared to $58.9 million at December 31, 2013. The temporary modifications generally consist of interest only payments for a three to six month period, whereby principal payments are deferred. At the end of the modification period, the remaining principal balance is re-amortized based on the original maturity date. Loans subject to temporary modifications are generally downgraded to Special Mention or Substandard. At the end of the modification period, the loan either 1) returns to the original contractual terms; 2) is further modified and accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring in accordance with ASC 310-10-35; or 3) is disposed of through foreclosure or liquidation.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) of loans are defined by ASC 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” and ASC 470-60, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors” and evaluated for impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10-35. The concessions may be granted in various forms, including reduction in the stated interest rate, reduction in the amount of principal amortization, forgiveness of a portion of a loan balance or accrued interest, or extension of the maturity date. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed on the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Bank's internal underwriting policy.

A summary of TDRs on accrual and nonaccrual status by type of concession as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is presented below:

TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing at the time of restructuring and for which the Bank anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest under the restructured terms. TDRs that are on nonaccrual status can be returned to accrual status after a period of sustained performance, generally determined to be six months of timely payments as modified. Sustained performance includes the periods prior to the modification if the prior performance met or exceeded the modified terms. TDRs on accrual status at September 30, 2014 were comprised of 21 commercial real estate loans totaling $27.6 million, 28 commercial business loans totaling $27.8 million, and 3 consumer loans totaling $690 thousand. TDRs on accrual status at December 31, 2013 were comprised of 15 commercial real estate loans totaling $21.3 million, 28 commercial business loans totaling $12.1 million and 2 consumer loans totaling $535 thousand. The Company expects that the TDRs on accrual status as of September 30, 2014, which were all performing in accordance with their restructured terms, to continue to comply with the restructured terms because of the reduced principal or interest payments on these loans. TDRs that were restructured at market interest rates and had sustained performance as agreed under the modified loan terms may be reclassified as non-TDRs after each year end but are reserved for under ASC 310-10.

The Company has allocated $6.1 million and $6.6 million of specific reserves to TDRs as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Covered Assets

On April 16, 2010, the Department of Financial Institutions closed Innovative Bank, California, and appointed the FDIC as its receiver. On the same date, the Bank assumed the banking operations of Innovative Bank from the FDIC under a purchase and assumption agreement and two related loss sharing agreements with the FDIC.

Covered nonperforming assets totaled $2.2 million and $826 thousand at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These covered nonperforming assets are subject to the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The covered nonperforming assets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:



	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(In thousands)

Related Party Loans

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into loan transactions with certain of its directors or associates of such directors (“Related Parties”). The loans to Related Parties are on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. In management’s opinion, these transactions did not involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. All loans to Related Parties were current as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the outstanding principal balance as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $3.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

8.	Borrowings

The Company maintains a secured credit facility with the FHLB against which the Bank may take advances. The borrowing capacity is limited to the lower of 30% of the Bank’s total assets or the Bank’s collateral capacity, which was $1.96 billion at September 30, 2014 and $1.78 billion at December 31, 2013. The terms of this credit facility require the Company to pledge eligible collateral with the FHLB equal to at least 100% of outstanding advances.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, real estate secured loans with a carrying amount of approximately $2.60 billion and $2.33 billion, respectively, were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB. At September 30, 2014, other than FHLB stock, no securities are pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB. At December 31, 2013, other than FHLB stock, securities with a carrying value of $13.2 million were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, FHLB advances were $467.1 million and $421.4 million, respectively, had a weighted average interest rate of 1.14% and 1.16%, respectively, and had various maturities through September 2019. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $37.1 million and $51.4 million, respectively, of the advances were putable advances with various putable dates and strike prices. The cost of FHLB advances as of September 30, 2014 ranged between 0.47% and 3.51%. At September 30, 2014, the Company had a remaining borrowing capacity of $1.49 billion.

At September 30, 2014, the contractual maturities for FHLB advances were as follows:



	Contractual Maturities		Maturity/ Put Date
	(In thousands)
Due within one year	$	66,000	$	87,071
Due after one year through five years	401,071		380,000
	$	467,071	$	467,071

In addition, as a member of the FRB system, the Bank may also borrow from the FRB of San Francisco. The maximum amount that the Bank may borrow from the FRB’s discount window is up to 95% of the outstanding principal balance of the qualifying loans and the fair value of the securities that are pledged. At September 30, 2014, the outstanding principal balance of the qualifying loans was $599.0 million, and the collateral value of investment securities was $1.6 million. There were no borrowings outstanding against this line as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


9.	Subordinated Debentures

At September 30, 2014, four wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by former Nara Bancorp had issued $28 million of pooled Trust Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”) and one wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trust established by former Center Financial Corporation had issued $18 million of trust preferred securities. Upon the acquisition of PIB, the Company assumed one grantor trust established by former PIB which issued $4 million of trust preferred securities, which the Company redeemed on June 17, 2013. Upon the acquisition of Foster, the Company assumed one grantor trust established by former Foster Bank which issued $15 million of trust preferred securities, which the Company redeemed on March 14, 2014. Trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in the indentures. The trusts used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) of BBCN Bancorp. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The Company’s obligations under the subordinated debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole (but not in part) on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company also has a right to defer consecutive payments of interest on the debentures for up to five years.

The following table is a summary of trust preferred securities and Debentures at September 30, 2014:



Issuance Trust	Issuance Date	Trust Preferred Security Amount		Carrying Value of Subordinated Debentures		Rate Type	Initial Rate		Coupon Rate at September 30, 2014			Maturity Date
		(Dollars in thousands)

TOTAL ISSUANCE		$	46,000	$	42,117

⁽¹⁾ The Center Capital Trust I trust preferred security was assumed in the merger with Center Financial Corporation. The remaining discount

was $5.3 million at September 30, 2014 and the effective rate of the security, including the effect of the discount accretion, was 5.54% at

September 30, 2014.

The Company’s investment in the common trust securities of the issuer trusts of $1.6 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is included in other assets. Although the subordinated debt issued by the trusts are not included as a component of stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets, the debt is treated as capital for regulatory purposes. The trust preferred security debt issuances are includable in Tier I capital up to a maximum of 25% of capital on an aggregate basis. Any amount that exceeds 25% qualifies as Tier 2 capital. At September 30, 2014, $40.7 million of the trusts’ securities qualified as Tier 1 capital. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law which, among other things, limits the ability of bank holding companies with total assets of more than $15 billion to treat trust preferred security debt issuances as Tier 1 capital. Since the Company had less than $15 billion in assets at September 30, 2014, we will be able to continue to include existing trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital under the Dodd-Frank Act.

10.	Intangible Assets

The carrying amount of the Company's goodwill as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $105.4 million. There was no impairment of goodwill during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Core deposit intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives, which range from seven to ten years. The Company acquired, through the acquisitions of PIB and Foster during the first and third quarters of 2013, respectively, core deposit intangible assets, which totaled $603 thousand and $2.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to core deposit intangible assets totaled $324 thousand and $316 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amortization expense related to core deposit intangible assets totaled $972 thousand and $813 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table provides information regarding the core deposit intangibles at September 30, 2014:



		As of September 30, 2014
	Amortization period	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization

Core deposit—Center Financial Corporation acquisition	7 years	$	4,100	$	(2,504	)
Core deposit—PIB acquisition	7 years	603		(237		)
Core deposit—Foster acquisition	10 years	2,763		(514		)
Total		$	7,466	$	(3,255	)

Servicing assets are recognized when SBA loans are sold with servicing retained with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of SBA loans. Servicing assets are initially recorded at fair value based on the present value of the contractually specified servicing fee, net of servicing costs, over the estimated life of the loan, using a discount rate based on the related note rate. The Company's servicing costs approximates the industry average servicing costs of 40 basis points. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Management periodically evaluates servicing assets for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on loan type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount.

The changes in servicing assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	9,024		$	8,078		$	8,915		$	6,260
Additions through originations of servicing assets	1,270			977			2,943			2,535
Additions through acquisition of PIB	—			—			—			1,102
Additions through acquisition of Foster	—			162			—			162
Amortization	(771		)	(555		)	(2,335		)	(1,397		)
Balance at end of period	$	9,523		$	8,662		$	9,523		$	8,662

The Company utilizes the discounted cash flow method to calculate the initial excess servicing assets. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the servicing assets at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are presented below.



	September 30, 2014	December 31, 2013
	Range	Range
Weighted-average discount rate	5.46% ~ 5.75%	5.49% ~ 5.73%
Constant prepayment rate	8.90% ~ 12.40%	9.20% ~13.00%

11.	Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as state income taxes. The Company had total unrecognized tax benefits of $1.3 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, that relate primarily to uncertainties related to California enterprise zone loan interest deductions.

Management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

The statute of limitations related to the consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2010. The expiration of the statute of limitations related to the various state income and franchise tax returns varies by state. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2011 tax year and by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for the 2009 and 2010 tax years. While the outcome of the examinations is unknown, the Company expects no material adjustments. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company recorded approximately $79 thousand and $58 thousand for accrued interest and penalties at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management evaluates both positive and negative evidence, including the existence of any cumulative losses in the current year and the prior two years, the amount of taxes paid in available carry-back years, the forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions. This analysis is updated quarterly and adjusted as necessary. Based on the analysis, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was not required as of September 30, 2014.

12.	Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


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; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.


Level 3:	Significant unobservable inputs that reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Securities Available for Sale

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a technique widely used 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 (Level 2 inputs).

The fair values of the Company's Level 3 securities available for sale were measured using an income approach valuation technique. The primary inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement were derived from the securities' underlying collateral, which included discount rates, prepayment speeds, payment delays, and an assessment of the risk of default of the underlying collateral, among other factors. Significant increases or decreases in any of the inputs or assumptions would result in a significant increase or decrease in the fair value measurement.

Impaired Loans

The fair values of impaired loans are generally measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by FASB ASC 310-10-35 including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation and result in a Level 2.

OREO

OREO is fair valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred to OREO. The value is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and result in a Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. OREO is reviewed and evaluated on at least an annual basis for additional impairment and adjusted to lower of cost or market accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

Loans held for sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors, or based on recent comparable sales (Level 2 inputs), if available, and if not available, are based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk (Level 3 inputs) or may be assessed based upon the fair value of the collateral, which is obtained from recent real estate appraisals (Level 3 inputs). These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, savings and other interest bearing demand deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, customer’s and Bank’s liabilities on acceptances, noninterest bearing deposits, short-term debt, secured borrowings and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. The allowance for loan losses is considered to be a reasonable estimate of discount for credit quality concerns. Fair value of SBA loans held for sale is based on market quotes. For fair value of non-SBA loans held for sale, see the measurement method discussed previously. Fair value of time deposits and debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FRB stock or FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability. The fair value of commitments to fund loans represents

13.	Stockholders’ Equity

In June 2012, the Company redeemed all of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department's TARP Capital Purchase Program. As of September 30, 2014, a warrant held by the U.S. Treasury Department for the purchase of 345,334 shares of the Company's common stock remains outstanding.

In conjunction with the acquisition of PIB, the Company assumed a warrant (related to the TARP Capital Purchase Plan) to purchase shares of its common stock. At the acquisition date, the warrants were canceled and converted into a warrant to purchase BBCN Bancorp common stock which expires on December 12, 2018. As of September 30, 2014, the U.S. Treasury Department held the warrant for the purchase of 18,607 shares of the Company's common stock.

The Company's Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.10 per common share for the third quarter of 2014 and $0.05 per common share for the third quarter of 2013.

The following table presents the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

14.	Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material and adverse effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements, such as restrictions on growth or the payment of dividends or other capital distributions or management fees. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the most recent regulatory notification categorized the Bank as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well-capitalized", the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

⁽²⁾	Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses and noninterest income.


⁽³⁾	Net interest margin is calculated by dividing annualized net interest income by average total interest earning assets.


⁽⁴⁾	The ratios generally required to meet the definition of a “well-capitalized” institution under certain banking regulations are 5% leverage capital, 6% tier I risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital.


⁽⁵⁾	Calculations are based on average quarterly asset balances.


⁽⁶⁾	Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, Legacy Loans and APLs past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and accruing restructured loans.


⁽⁷⁾	Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO.


⁽⁸⁾	Excludes TARP preferred stock related stock warrants of $378 thousand and $378 thousand at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


⁽⁹⁾	Average tangible equity is calculated by subtracting average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles assets from average stockholders' equity. This is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides investors with information that is useful in understanding our financial performance and position.

The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $357.8 million increase in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, from $5.01 billion at December 31, 2013 to $5.36 billion at September 30, 2014 and a $126.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, from $316.7 million at December 31, 2013 to $443.3 million at September 30, 2014. The increase in total assets was funded by a $361.7 million increase in deposits from $5.15 billion at December 31, 2013 to $5.51 billion at September 30, 2014 and net income of $65.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $21.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, compared to $23.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2013, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 9.05%. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $65.9 million, or $0.83 per diluted common share, compared to $63.7 million, or $0.80 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2013, an increase of $2.2 million, or 3.52%. Acquisitions impact the comparability of the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, because the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value and certain acquisition premiums and discounts are being amortized or accreted into income or expense as adjustments to the yield/cost of the related asset or liability. In addition, the acquisitions of Pacific International Bancorp, Inc. ("PIB") and Foster Bankshares, Inc. ("Foster") resulted in increases in interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities, employees and branch locations in 2013. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include the following pre-tax acquisition accounting adjustments and expenses related to acquisitions.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net Interest Income

A principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest earning assets less the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in the yields earned on interest earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 with the Same Period of 2013

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $67.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $3.5 million, or 5.4%, compared to $64.4 million for the same period of 2013. The increase was principally attributable to the increase in interest earning assets. The increase was partially offset by the decline in yields and an increase in the cost of deposits.

Interest income for the third quarter of 2014 was $77.1 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 7.1%, compared to $72.0 million for the same period of 2013. The increase resulted from a $10.5 million increase in interest income due to an increase in average interest earning assets, which was partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in interest income due to a decrease in the yield on average interest earnings assets.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 with the Same Period of 2013

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $200.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $14.2 million, or 7.6%, compared to $186.2 million for the same period of 2013. The increase was principally attributable to the increase in interest earnings assets, which was partially offset by the decline in the net interest margin.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $226.9 million, an increase of $18.7 million, or 9.0%, compared to $208.2 million for the same period of 2013. The increase resulted from an $29.8 million increase in interest income due to an increase in average interest earning assets, which was partially offset by a $11.1 million decrease in interest income due to a decrease in the yield on average interest earnings assets.

Net Interest Margin

Our reported net interest margin is impacted by the weighted average rates we earn on interest earning assets and pay on interest bearing liabilities and the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2014 was 4.15%, a decrease of 27 basis points from 4.42% for the same period of 2013. Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 4.21%, a decrease of 25 basis points from 4.46% for the same period of 2013. The change in the our reported net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is summarized in the table below.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Net interest margin, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments	3.73	%	3.86	%	3.75	%	3.90	%
Acquisition accounting adjustments⁽¹⁾	0.42		0.56		0.46		0.56
Reported net interest margin	4.15	%	4.42	%	4.21	%	4.46	%
⁽¹⁾Acquisition accounting adjustments are calculated by subtracting net interest margin, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, from reported net interest margin.

As noted in the table above, excluding the effect of the acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 13 basis points to 3.73% from 3.86% for the same period of 2013. Excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased 15 basis points to 3.75% from 3.90% for the same period of 2013.

The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily due to a decline in the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments and a decline in the weighted average yield on the loan portfolio. The decrease in net interest margin was also caused by an increase in the cost of deposits. These decreases to the net interest margin were partially offset by an increase in yields from our investment securities.

The acquisition related adjustments that impact the net interest margin declined by $1.0 million, totaling $6.2 million during the third quarter of 2014, compared to $7.2 million for the same period of 2013. The adjustments declined by $1.9 million when comparing the total adjustments of $19.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to a total of $21.2 million in adjustments for the same period in 2013.

The weighted average yield on loans decreased to 5.29% for the third quarter of 2014 from 5.63% for the third quarter of 2013 and decreased to 5.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 5.72% for the same period in 2013. The change in the yield was due to continued pricing pressure on loan interest rates and a 16 basis point and 13 basis point decline in the effects of acquisition accounting adjustments for the respective periods, as summarized in the following table.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Reported weighted average yield on loans	5.29	%	5.63	%	5.37	%	5.72	%
⁽¹⁾ Acquisition accounting adjustments are calculated by subtracting the weighted average yield on loans, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, from the reported weighted average yield on loans.

Excluding the effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, the weighted average yield on loans for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 18 basis points to 4.78% from 4.96% for the same period of 2013. Excluding the effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, the weighted average yield on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased 22 basis points to 4.82% from 5.04% for the same period of 2013. In addition to the continued pricing pressures, the declining loan yields were caused by a higher mix of lower yielding fixed rate loans particularly from the acquired loan portfolios and the high demand for fixed rate loans in the market. At September 30, 2014, fixed rate loans accounted for 51% of the loan portfolio, compared to 45% at September 30, 2013. The weighted average yield on the variable rate and fixed rate loan portfolios (excluding loan discount accretion) at September 30, 2014 was 4.25% and 4.79%, respectively, compared with 4.43% and 5.16% at September 30, 2013.

The weighted average yield on securities available for sale for the third quarter of 2014 was 2.18%, compared to 2.13% for the same period of 2013. The weighted average yield on securities available for sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 2.26%, compared to 2.04% for the same period of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the reduction in the amortization of premiums on collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities as a result of slowing prepayment speeds.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2014 was 0.54%, an increase of 5 basis points from 0.49% for the same period of 2013. The weighted average cost of deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 0.53%, an increase of 4 basis points from 0.49% for the same period of 2013. The amortization of the premium on time deposits assumed in the acquisitions positively affected the weighted average cost of deposits, as summarized in the following table.

⁽¹⁾ Acquisition accounting adjustments are calculated by subtracting the weighted average cost of deposits, excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, from the reported weighted average cost of deposits.

Excluding the amortization of premiums on time deposits assumed in acquisitions, the weighted average cost of deposits was 0.55% for the third quarter of 2014, compared to 0.51% for the same period of 2013 and 0.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 0.52% for the same period of 2013. The increase was due to an increase in retail deposits such as money market and time deposits assumed in acquisitions and increased deposit campaigns and promotions. The retail deposits had a yield of 0.83% at September 30, 2014 compared to 0.78% at September 30, 2013.

The weighted average cost of FHLB advances for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 was 1.18%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the weighted average cost of FHLB advances was 1.17%.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses reflects our judgment of the current period cost associated with credit risk inherent in our loan portfolio. The loan loss provision for each period is dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, net charge offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, assessments by management, third parties’ and regulators’ examination of the loan portfolio, the value of the underlying collateral for problem loans and the general economic conditions in our market areas. Specifically, the provision for loan losses represents the amount charged against current period earnings to achieve an allowance for loan losses that, in our judgment, is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Periodic fluctuations in the provision for loan losses result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; however, actual loan losses may vary in material respects from current estimates. If the allowance for loan losses is inadequate, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2014 was $4.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 472.0%, from $744 thousand for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in quantitative reserves due to loan growth compared to the third quarter of 2013, which was partially offset by decreases due to declining historical loss rates.

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $10.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 13.6%, from $9.1 million for the same period last year. The increase is primarily due an increase quantitative reserves due to loan growth, which was partially offset by decreases due to declining historical loss rates and decreased specific reserves on impaired loans.

See Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and Financial Condition - Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses for further discussion.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income is primarily comprised of service fees on deposit accounts, fees received on trade finance letters of credit and net gains on sales of loans.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2014 was $11.4 million, compared to $10.8 million for the same quarter of 2013, an increase of $570 thousand, or 5.3%. The increase was principally due to a $751 thousand increase in net gains on sales of SBA loans and a $135 thousand increase from service fees on deposit accounts, which were offset by a $238 thousand decrease in international service fees and a $206 thousand decrease in loan servicing fees, net.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $33.0 million, compared to $31.4 million for the same period of 2013, an increase of $1.6 million, or 5.1 %. The increase was principally due to a $1.2 million increase in service fees on deposit accounts, a $905 thousand increase from other income and fees, and a $523 thousand increase in net gains on sales of OREO. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, thirteen OREO properties with an aggregate carrying value of $8.1 million were sold, compared to the sale of $3.7 million during the same period of 2013. The increases were partially offset by a $626 thousand decrease in international service fees and a $633 thousand decrease in loan servicing fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $39.4 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 10.3%, from $35.7 million for the same period of 2013. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $2.8 million due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, which increased to 911 at September 30, 2014 from 831 at September 30, 2013. Credit related expenses increased $885 thousand principally due to increased increased property tax and insurance payments to protect our interest in loan collateral and OREO. Occupancy and FDIC expenses also increased by $362 thousand and $317 thousand, respectively, compared to the same quarter in 2013. These increases were offset by a decrease of $865 thousand in merger and integration expenses, as we incurred the majority of the merger and integrations expenses related to the PIB acquisition in the first quarter of 2013.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $113.4 million, an increase of $9.9 million, or 9.7%, from $103.5 million for the same period of 2013. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $7.3 million due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees. This is partially due to the PIB and Foster acquisitions that were completed in 2013. Data processing fees and furniture and equipment expenses also increased by $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2013. The FDIC assessment increased by $868 thousand compared to the same period in 2013. Credit related expenses increased by $1.4 million primarily due to increased property tax and insurance payments to protect our interest in loan collateral and OREO, which was partially offset by a decrease in provision for uncollectible SBA receivables. These increases were offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in merger and integration expenses.

Financial Condition

At September 30, 2014, our total assets were $6.93 billion, an increase of $452.6 million from $6.48 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was principally due to a $357.8 million increase in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses and a $126.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. The increases were offset by decreases in deferred tax assets and other assets totaling $21.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The increase in total assets was funded primarily by a $361.7 million increase in deposits and net income of $65.9 million.

Investment Securities Portfolio

As of September 30, 2014, we had $710.6 million in available for sale securities, compared to $705.8 million at December 31, 2013. The net unrealized loss on the available for sale securities at September 30, 2014 was $2.9 million, compared to a net unrealized loss on such securities of $17.7 million at December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, $82.6 million in securities were purchased, $89.7 million in mortgage related securities were paid down and no securities were sold. During the same period last year, $169.9 million in securities were purchased, $143.6 in mortgage related securities were paid down and $6.6 million in securities were sold. The weighted average duration (the weighted average of the times of the present values of all the cash flows) of the available for sale securities was 4.24 years and 4.42 years at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The weighted average life (the weighted average of the times of the principal repayments) of the available for sale securities was 4.78 years and 5.08 years at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Loan Portfolio

As of September 30, 2014, loans receivable totaled $5.43 billion, an increase of $358.7 million from $5.07 billion at December 31, 2013. Total loan originations during the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $382.3 million, including SBA loan originations of $69.7 million, of which $40.0 million was included as additions to loans held for sale during the period.

For a better understanding of the changes in the ALLL, the loan portfolio has been segmented for disclosures purposes between loans which are accounted for under the amortized cost method (Legacy Loans) and loans acquired from acquisitions (Acquired Loans). Acquired Loans have been further segregated between Acquired Credit Impaired Loans (loans with credit deterioration at the time they were acquired and accounted for under ASC 310-30, or "ACILs") and performing loans (loans that were pass graded at the time they were acquired, or "APLs"). The activity in the ALLL for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is as follows:

We believe the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2014 is adequate to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.

Deposits and Other Borrowings

Deposits. Deposits are our primary source of funds used in our lending and investment activities. At September 30, 2014, deposits increased $361.7 million, or 7.0%, to $5.51 billion from $5.15 billion at December 31, 2013. The net increase in deposits is primarily due to increases in retail deposits due to the impact of recent deposit campaigns and promotions. In addition, wholesale deposits were increased to help fund loan growth. Interest bearing demand deposits, including money market and Super Now accounts, totaled $1.74 billion at September 30, 2014 and $1.60 billion at December 31, 2013.

At September 30, 2014, 27% of total deposits were noninterest bearing demand deposits, 41% were time deposits and 32% were interest bearing demand and savings deposits. At December 31, 2013, 27% of total deposits were noninterest bearing demand deposits, 43% were time deposits, and 30% were interest bearing demand and savings deposits.

At September 30, 2014, we had $227.0 million in brokered deposits and $300.0 million in California State Treasurer deposits, compared to $243.9 million and $300.0 million of such deposits at December 31, 2013, respectively. The California State Treasurer deposits had seven-month maturities with a weighted average interest rate of 0.08% at September 30, 2014 and

Table of Contents

were collateralized with securities with a carrying value of $350.1 million. The weighted average interest rate for wholesale deposits was 0.31% at September 30, 2014.

The following is a schedule of certificates of deposit maturities as of September 30, 2014:




	Balance	%
	(Dollars in thousands)
Three months or less	659,248	29.05	%
Over three months through six months	538,823	23.75	%

Over twelve months	179,043	7.89	%
Total time deposits	2,269,059	100.00	%

Other Borrowings. Advances may be obtained from the FHLB as an alternative source of funds. FHLB advances are typically secured by a pledge of commercial real estate loans and/or securities with a market value at least equal to the outstanding advances plus our investment in FHLB stock.

At September 30, 2014, we had $467.1 million of FHLB advances with average remaining maturities of 2.6 years, compared to $421.4 million with average remaining maturities of 3.1 years at December 31, 2013. The weighted average rate was 1.14% and 1.16% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Subordinated debentures decreased $15.3 million to $42.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $57.4 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease is due to the redemption of $15.0 million of trust preferred securities in March 2014, which were assumed upon the acquisition of Foster Bankshares. The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in the related indentures for the securities. The Trusts used the net proceeds from their respective offerings to purchase a like amount of subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) issued by us. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. Our obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by us of the obligations of the trusts. The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. We have the right to redeem the Debentures in whole (but not in part) on or after specific dates, at redemption prices specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Off-Balance-Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

We routinely engage in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected, in whole or in part, in the consolidated financial statements. These activities are part of our normal course of business and include traditional off-balance-sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate swap contracts, operating leases and long-term debt.

Traditional off-balance-sheet credit-related financial instruments are primarily commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These activities could require us to make cash payments to third parties if certain specified future events occur. The contractual amounts represent the extent of our exposure in these off-balance-sheet activities. However, since certain off-balance-sheet commitments, particularly standby letters of credit, are expected to expire or be only partially used, the total amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These activities are necessary to meet the financing needs of our customers.

We enter into interest rate swap contracts under which we are required to either receive cash from or pay cash to counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. We also purchase interest rate caps to protect against increases in market interest rates. We utilize interest rate swap contracts and interest rate caps to help manage the risk of changing interest rates.

We do not anticipate that our current off-balance-sheet activities will have a material impact on our future results of operations or our financial condition.

Our leased banking facilities and equipment are leased under non-cancelable operating leases under which we must make monthly payments over periods up to 15 years.

Stockholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital

Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of earnings, net of dividend payments to shareholders. We seek to maintain capital at a level sufficient to assure our stockholders, our customers and our regulators that our Company

Table of Contents

and our bank subsidiary are financially sound. For this purpose, we perform ongoing assessments of our components of capital, as well as projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and levels of risks.

Total stockholders’ equity was $864.6 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $809.4 million at December 31, 2013.

The federal banking agencies generally require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal banking agencies require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier I capital to average total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4%, referred to as the leverage ratio. Capital requirements apply to the Company and the Bank separately. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.

At September 30, 2014, our Tier I capital, defined as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets was $797.1 million, compared to $751.2 million at December 31, 2013, representing an increase of $45.9 million, or 6.1%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in retained earnings from net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $65.9 million, which was partially offset by the declaration of $19.9 million of cash dividends. At September 30, 2014, the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 14.93% and the Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 13.72%. The Tier I leverage capital ratio was 11.80%.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the most recent regulatory notification categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be generally categorized as "well-capitalized", the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage capital ratios as set forth in the table below.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity risk is the risk of reduction in our earnings or capital that would result if we were not able to meet our obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk includes the risk of unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources and changes in market conditions that affect our ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss of value. Factors considered in liquidity risk management are the stability of the deposit base; the marketability, maturity, and pledging of our investments; the availability of alternative sources of funds; and our demand for credit. The objective of our liquidity management is to have funds available to meet cash flow requirements arising from fluctuations in deposit levels and

Table of Contents

the demands of daily operations, which include funding of securities purchases, providing for customers' credit needs, and ongoing repayment of borrowings.

Our primary sources of liquidity are derived from financing activities, which include customer and broker deposits, federal funds facilities, and borrowings from the FHLB and the FRB Discount Window. These funding sources are augmented by payments of principal and interest on loans and securities, proceeds from sale of loans and the liquidation or sale of securities from our available for sale portfolio. Primary uses of funds include withdrawal of and interest payments on deposits, originations of loans, purchases of investment securities, and payment of operating expenses.

At September 30, 2014, our total borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $1.96 billion, of which $1.49 billion was unused and available to borrow. At September 30, 2014, our total borrowing capacity from the FRB was $456.0 million, of which $456.0 million was unused and available to borrow. In addition to these lines, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing cash deposits with other banks, overnight federal funds sold to other banks, liquid investment securities available for sale, and loan repayments within 30 days, were $742.1 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $647.4 million at December 31, 2013. Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold, were $443.3 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $316.7 million at December 31, 2013. We believe our liquidity sources to be stable and adequate to meet our day-to-day cash flow requirements.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The objective of our asset and liability management activities is to maximize our earnings by adjusting the type and mix of assets and liabilities to effectively address changing conditions and risks. Through overall management of our balance sheet and by controlling various risks, we seek to optimize our financial returns within safe and sound parameters. Our operating strategies for attaining this objective include managing net interest margin through appropriate risk/return pricing of assets and liabilities and emphasizing growth in retail deposits, as a percentage of interest bearing liabilities, to reduce our cost of funds. We also seek to improve earnings by controlling noninterest expense, and enhancing noninterest income. We also use risk management instruments to modify interest rate characteristics of certain assets and liabilities to hedge against our exposure to interest rate fluctuations with the objective of, reducing the effects these fluctuations might have on associated cash flows or values. Finally, we perform internal analysis to measure, evaluate and monitor risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk impacting us. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities do not reprice simultaneously and in equal volume. A key objective of asset and liability management is to manage interest rate risk associated with changing asset and liability cash flows and values of our assets and liabilities and market interest rate movements. The management of interest rate risk is governed by policies reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors. Our Board delegates responsibility for interest rate risk management to the Asset Liability Committee of the Board ("ALCO") and to the Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALM”), which is composed of the Bank’s senior executives and other designated officers.

Market risk is the risk of adverse impacts on our future earnings, the fair values of our assets and liabilities, or our future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The fundamental objective of our ALM is to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate levels of liquidity and capital. Our ALM meets regularly to monitor interest rate risk, the sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of our assets and liabilities, and our investment activities. It also directs changes in the composition of our assets and liabilities. Our strategy has been to reduce the sensitivity of our earnings to interest rate fluctuations by more closely matching the effective maturities or repricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities. Certain assets and liabilities, however, may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Furthermore, interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate prior to changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind. We consider the anticipated effects of these factors when implementing our interest rate risk management objectives.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We monitor interest rate risk through the use of a simulation model that provides us with the ability to simulate our net interest income. In order to measure, at September 30, 2014, the sensitivity of our forecasted net interest income to changing interest rates, both rising and falling interest rate scenarios were projected and compared to base market interest rate forecasts. One application of our simulation model measures the impact of market interest rate changes on the net present value of estimated cash flows from our assets and liabilities, defined as our market value of equity. This analysis assesses the changes in market values of interest rate sensitive financial instruments that would occur in response to immediate and parallel changes in market interest rates.

The impacts on our net interest income and market value of equity exposed to immediate and parallel hypothetical changes in market interest rates as projected by the model we use for this purpose are illustrated in the following table.



	September 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
Simulated	Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity		Market Value Of Equity Volatility		Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity		Market Value Of Equity Volatility
Rate Changes	Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity		Market Value Of Equity Volatility		Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity		Market Value Of Equity Volatility
+ 200 basis points	5.48	%	(2.29	)%	6.95	%	(3.89	)%
+ 100 basis points	2.32	%	(0.97	)%	3.04	%	(1.62	)%
- 100 basis points	(0.45	)%	0.16	%	(1.31	)%	1.24	%
- 200 basis points	(0.67	)%	(1.83	)%	(1.99	)%	1.20	%

The results obtained from using the simulation model are somewhat uncertain as the model does not take into account other impacts or changes and the effect they could have on the Company’s business or changes in business strategy the Company might make in reaction to changes in the interest rate environment.
