Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a bank holding company whose primary subsidiary is Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”). Our primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operation of the Bank.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods ended March 31, 2021, but are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be reported for the entire year or any other interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

The preparation of interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the unaudited financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in restrictions on travel and gatherings and restricted business activities. As a result, the operations and business results of the Company could be materially adversely affected. The extent to which the COVID-19 crisis may impact business activity or financial results will depend on future developments, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. This uncertainty may impact the accuracy of our significant estimates, which includes the allowance for credit losses, the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items, and the valuation of intangible assets including deferred tax assets, goodwill, and servicing assets.

Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform.  The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are elective and apply to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform.

The new guidance provided several optional expedients that reduce costs and complexity of accounting for reference rate reform, including measures to simplify or modify accounting issues resulting from reference rate reform for contract modifications, hedges, and debt securities.

The amendments are effective for all entities from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of ASU 2020-04.  An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022.

The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act allows financial institutions to assist customers in dealing with financial hardship by (a) providing federal funding so that financial institutions can originate SBA loans to borrowers at a low interest rate under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans with eventual debt forgiveness should the borrower continue to meet certain criteria; and (b) allowing financial institutions to temporarily modify loan terms by deferring loan payments, loan fees, etc. without considering them Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”).

Loan Quality Indicators

As part of the on-going monitoring of the quality of our loans portfolio, we utilize an internal loan grading system to identify credit risk and assign an appropriate grade (from 0 to 8) for each loan in our portfolio. A third-party loan review is performed at least on an annual basis. Additional adjustments are made when determined to be necessary. The loan grade definitions are as follows:

Pass and Pass-Watch: Pass and Pass-Watch loans, grades (0-4), are in compliance with the Bank’s credit policy and regulatory requirements, and do not exhibit any potential or defined weaknesses as defined under “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful.” This category is the strongest level of the Bank’s loan grading system. It consists of all performing loans with no identified credit weaknesses. It includes cash and stock/security secured loans or other investment grade loans.

Special Mention: A Special Mention loan, grade (5), has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If not corrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment of the debt and result in a Substandard classification. Loans that have significant actual, not potential, weaknesses are considered more severely classified.

Substandard: A Substandard loan, grade (6), has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. A loan graded Substandard is not protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower, or of the value and type of collateral pledged. With a Substandard loan, there is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: A Doubtful loan, grade (7), is one that has critical weaknesses that would make the collection or liquidation of the full amount due improbable. However, there may be pending events which may work to strengthen the loan, and therefore the amount or timing of a possible loss cannot be determined at the current time.

Loss: A loan classified as Loss, grade (8), is considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active bank assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be possible in the future. Loans classified as Loss will be charged off in a timely manner.

Under regulatory guidance, loans graded special mention or worse are considered criticized loans, and loans graded substandard or worse are considered classified loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total TDRs were $23.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively. A debt restructuring is considered a TDR if we grant a concession that we would not have otherwise been considered, to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. In addition, the concession granted must result in a reduction in the borrower’s payment for a period of three months or more in order to be classified as a TDR.

Total — $ — $ — 5 $ 4,479 $ 3,676

All TDRs are individually analyzed using one of three criteria: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (2) the loan’s observable market price; or (3) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, TDRs were subjected to specific impairment analysis. We determined impairment allowances of $7,000 and $16,000, respectively, related to these loans and such allowances were included in the allowance for credit losses.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. No loans defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 following modification. During the year ended December 31, 2020, one loan for $398,000 defaulted within the twelve-month period following modification. The allowance for credit losses resulting from this defaulted loan was $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 4 — Servicing Assets

The changes in servicing assets for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
2021 2020
(in thousands)
Servicing assets:
Balance at beginning of period $ 6,212 $ 6,956
Addition related to sale of SBA loans 450 354
Amortization (512 ) (583 )
Balance at end of period $ 6,150 $ 6,727

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we serviced loans sold to unaffiliated parties in the amounts of $432.4 million and $429.4 million, respectively. These represented loans that have been sold for which the Bank continues to provide servicing. These loans are maintained off-balance sheet and are not included in the loans receivable balance. All of the loans serviced were SBA loans.

The Company recorded servicing fee income of $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Servicing fee income, net of the amortization of servicing assets, is included in other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense was $512,000 and $583,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

The fair value of servicing rights was $7.4 million at March 31, 2021. Fair value at March 31, 2021 was determined using discount rates ranging from 7.3 percent to 10.3 percent and prepayment speeds ranging from 11.5 percent to 18.8 percent, depending on the stratification of the specific right. The fair value of servicing rights was $6.9 million at December 31, 2020. Fair value at December 31, 2020 was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.3 percent to 12.2 percent and prepayment speeds ranging from 11.8 percent to 19.1 percent, depending on the stratification of the specific right.

Note 5 — Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense was $7.5 million and $1.0 million representing an effective income tax rate of 31.1 percent and 30.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Management concluded that as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a valuation allowance of $4.4 million was appropriate against certain state net operating loss carry forwards and certain tax credits. For all other deferred tax assets, management believes it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized principally through future taxable income and reversal of existing taxable temporary differences. The net deferred tax asset was $42.7 million and $41.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The net current tax liability was $3.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and the net current tax asset was $1.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2021 the Company is subject to examination by various taxing authorities for its federal tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2017 through 2019 and state tax returns for the years ending December 31, 2016 through 2019. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there was no material change to the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax positions to change significantly over the next twelve months.

The CARES Act includes provisions for tax payment relief, significant business incentives, and certain corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act. The tax relief measures for entities includes a five-year net operating loss carry back, increases in interest expense deduction limits, accelerates alternative minimum tax credit refunds, provides payroll tax relief, and provides a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the effect of changes in tax law be recognized in the period in which new legislation is enacted. The enactment of the CARES Act was not material to the Company’s income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and is not expected to have a material impact on its financial statements for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

On December 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “Act”) that provides additional tax relief to individuals and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. We considered the provisions of the Act and determined they do not have a material impact to our overall income taxes.

Note 6 — Goodwill and other Intangibles

The third-party originators intangible of $483,000 and goodwill of $11.0 million were recorded as a result of the acquisition of a leasing portfolio in 2016. The core deposit intangible of $2.2 million was recognized for the core deposits acquired in a 2014 acquisition. The Company’s intangible assets were as follows for the periods indicated:

Total intangible assets $ 13,727 $ (2,169 ) $ 11,558 $ 13,727 $ (2,115 ) $ 11,612

Intangible assets amortization expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $54,000 and $65,000, respectively. The Company performed an impairment analysis on its goodwill and other intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 and determined there was no impairment. No triggering event has occurred subsequent to December 31, 2020 that would require a reassessment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Note 7 — Deposits

The Company issued Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes (“Notes”) of $100.0 million on March 21, 2017, with a final maturity on March 30, 2027. The Notes have an initial fixed interest rate of 5.45 percent per annum, payable semiannually on March 30 and September 30 of each year. From and including March 30, 2022 and thereafter, the Notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to the then current three-month LIBOR, as calculated on each applicable date of determination, plus 3.315 percent payable quarterly. If the then current three-month LIBOR is less than zero, three-month LIBOR will be deemed to be zero. Debt issuance cost was $2.3 million, which is being amortized through the Note’s maturity date.

The amortization of debt issuance cost was $53,000 and $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company assumed Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Subordinated Debentures”) as a result of an acquisition in 2014 with an unpaid principal balance of $26.8 million and an estimated fair value of $18.5 million. The $8.3 million discount is being amortized to interest expense through the debentures’ maturity date of March 15, 2036. A trust was formed in 2005 which issued $26.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities (“TPS”) at a 6.26 percent fixed rate for the first five years and a variable rate at the three-month LIBOR plus 140 basis points thereafter and invested the proceeds in the Subordinated Debentures. The Company may redeem the Subordinated Debentures at an earlier date if certain conditions are met. The TPS will be subject to mandatory redemption if the Subordinated Debentures are repaid by the Company. Interest is payable quarterly, and the Company has the option to defer interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed five consecutive years. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of Subordinated Debentures included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of discount of $6.3 million and $6.4 million, was $20.5 million and $20.4 million, respectively. The amortization of discount was $99,000 and $96,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 9 — Earnings Per Share

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

Unvested restricted stock containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities prior to vesting and have been included in the earnings allocation in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

The following table is a reconciliation of the components used to derive basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

There were no anti-dilutive stock options outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued an additional 42,626 performance stock units to executive officers from the 2013 Equity Compensation plan fair valued at $784,000 on the grant date of March 24, 2021. These units have a three-year cliff vesting period and include dividend equivalent rights. Total performance stock units outstanding as of March 31, 2021 was 66,563 with an aggregate grant fair value of $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, there were no performance stock units outstanding.

Note 10 — Regulatory Matters

Federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent.

In order for banks to be considered “well capitalized,” federal bank regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, federal bank regulatory agencies require depository institutions to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 5.0 percent.

At March 31, 2021, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum requirements for the Bank to be considered “well capitalized” and the Company exceeded all of its applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements.

A capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent became effective on January 1, 2019, and must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The Bank's capital conservation buffer was 7.26 percent and 6.86 percent and the Company's capital conservation buffer was 6.26 percent and 5.93 percent as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In March 2020, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC announced an interim final rule to delay the impact on regulatory capital arising from the implementation of CECL. The interim final rule maintains the three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides banks the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). The Company and the Bank adopted the capital transition relief over the permissible five-year period.

Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three-level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three-level fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:

• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
--- ---
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
--- ---

Fair value is used on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment or for disclosure purposes.

We record securities available for sale at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain other assets, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans, OREO, and core deposit intangible, are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-recurring fair value measurements typically involve assets that are periodically evaluated for impairment and for which any impairment is recorded in the period in which the re-measurement is performed.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument below:

Securities available for sale - The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curve, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities that are traded on an active exchange or by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. The fair value of these securities is determined by quoted prices on an active exchange or over-the-counter market. Level 2 securities primarily include U.S. government agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and debt securities as well as municipal bonds in markets that are active. In determining the fair value of the securities categorized as Level 2, we obtain reports from nationally recognized broker-dealers detailing the fair value of each investment security held as of each reporting date. The broker-dealers use prices obtained from nationally recognized pricing services to value our fixed income securities. The fair value of the municipal securities is determined based on pricing data provided by nationally recognized pricing services. We review the prices obtained for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace, and also consider any credit issues related to the bonds. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and as they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 securities are instruments that are not traded in the market. As such, no observable market data for the instrument is available, which necessitates the use of significant unobservable inputs.

Derivatives – The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).  Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available.  Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs.  The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position.  The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

Loans held for sale - Loans held for sale includes the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans and second draw PPP loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Management obtains quotes, bids or pricing indication sheets on all or part of the loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes, bids or pricing indication

sheets are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the entire balance of loans held for sale was recorded at its cost. We record loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis with Level 2 inputs.

Nonperforming loans – Nonaccrual loans receivable and loans 90-days past due and still accruing interest are considered nonperforming for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. All nonperforming loans with a carrying balance over $250,000 are individually evaluated for the amount of impairment, if any. Nonperforming loans with a carrying balance of $250,000 or less are evaluated collectively. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent nonperforming loans are recorded based on either the current appraised value of the collateral, a Level 2 measurement, or management’s judgment and estimation of value reported on older appraisals that are then adjusted based on recent market trends, a Level 3 measurement.

OREO - Fair value of OREO is based primarily on third party appraisals, less costs to sell and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Appraisals are required annually and may be updated more frequently as circumstances require and the fair value adjustments are made to OREO based on the updated appraised value of the property.

Other repossessed assets – Fair value of equipment from leasing contracts is based primarily on a third party valuation service, less costs to sell and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Valuations are required at the time the asset is repossessed and may be subsequently updated periodically due to the Company’s short-term possession of the asset prior it is sale or as circumstances require and the fair value adjustments are made to the asset based on its value prior to sale.

^(1)^ Appraisal reports utilize a combination of valuation techniques including a market approach, where prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar or comparable properties are used to determine the appraised value. Appraisals may include an ‘as is’ and ‘upon completion’ valuation scenarios. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by third-party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data. Adjustments also result from the consideration of relevant economic and demographic factors with the potential to affect property values. Also, prospective values are based on the market conditions which exist at the date of inspection combined with informed forecasts based on current trends in supply and demand for the property types under appraisal. Positive adjustments disclosed in this table represent increases to the sales comparison and negative adjustment represent decreases.

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are discussed above.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825), among other provisions, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Other than certain financial instruments for which we have concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value, the fair value estimates shown below are based on an exit price notion as of March 31, 2021, as required by ASU 2016-01. The financial instruments for which we have concluded that the carrying amounts approximate fair value include, cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable and payable, and noninterest-bearing deposits. The fair values of off-balance sheet items are based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Bank has committed to make the loans.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows:

Note 12 — Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the risk involved with on-balance sheet items.

The Bank’s exposure to losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, was based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment, and income-producing or borrower-occupied properties.

The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:

March 31, December 31,
2021 2020
(in thousands)
Commitments to extend credit $ 463,841 $ 453,900
Standby letters of credit 48,922 47,169
Commercial letters of credit 68,098 54,547
Total undisbursed loan commitments $ 580,861 $ 555,616

The allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items is maintained at a level believed to be sufficient to absorb current expected lifetime losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the allowance adequacy is based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items was as follows for the periods indicated:

Note 13 — Leases

The Company enters into leases in the normal course of business primarily for financial centers, back-office operations locations, business development offices, information technology data centers and information technology equipment.  The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from one to thirteen years, some of which include renewal or termination options to extend the lease for up to five years.

The Company includes lease extension and termination options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option.  In addition, the Company has elected to account for any non-lease components in its real estate leases as part of the associated lease component.  The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company’s balance sheet.

Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date.  Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of the lease payments over the lease term.

As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding balances for our right-of-use asset and lease liability were $49.1 million and $52.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balances of the right-of-use asset and lease liability were $52.2 million and $54.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

In determining the discount rates, since most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate provided by the FHLB of San Francisco based on the information available at the commencement date to calculate the present value of lease payments.

At March 31, 2021, future minimum rental commitments under these non-cancelable operating leases, with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, were as follows:

Note 14 — Liquidity

Hanmi Financial

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Hanmi Financial had $11.6 million and $17.3 million, respectively, in cash on deposit with its bank subsidiary. Management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, had adequate liquid assets to meet its current debt obligations.

Hanmi Bank

The principal objective of our liquidity management program is to maintain the Bank’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of our customers who wish either to withdraw funds or to draw upon credit facilities to meet their cash needs. Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s primary funding source will continue to be deposits originating from its branch platform. The Bank’s wholesale funds historically consisted of FHLB advances and brokered deposits. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had $150.0 million of FHLB advances and $175.3 million and $193.7 million, respectively, of brokered deposits.

We monitor the sources and uses of funds on a regular basis to maintain an acceptable liquidity position. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 30.0 percent of its assets. As of March 31, 2021, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $1.68 billion and $1.39 billion, respectively, compared to $1.73 billion and $1.44 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by the Bank, and the FHLB may adjust the advance rates for qualifying collateral upwards or downwards from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans, leases and securities, and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.

As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank had an available borrowing source of $31.1 million from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, to which the Bank pledged securities with a carrying value of $32.6 million, and had no borrowings as of March 31, 2021. The Bank also maintains a line of credit for repurchase agreements up to $100.0 million. The Bank also had three unsecured federal funds lines of credit totaling $115.0 million with no outstanding balances as of March 31, 2021.

Note 15 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist entirely of interest rate swap agreements between the Company and its customers and other third party counterparties. The Company enters into “back-to-back swap” arrangements whereby the Company executes interest rate swap agreements with its customers and acquires an offsetting swap position from a third party counterparty. These derivative financial statements are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their location on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, these agreements may also require the Company to post additional collateral should it fail to maintain its status as a well- or adequately- capitalized institution.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position for counterparty transactions, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $0 and $1.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had received $1.0 million of collateral from its counterparties related to these agreements and is adequately collateralized since its net asset position was $89,000 ($1.4 million fair value of assets less $1.3 million fair value of liabilities) as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had posted $1.2 million of collateral related to these agreements and was essentially over-collateralized since its net liability position was $61,000 ($1.1 million fair value of assets less $1.1 million fair value of liabilities). If the Company had breached any of the provisions described above at March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $0 and $1.1 million, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (this “Report”).

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this Report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements in this Report other than statements of historical fact are “forward–looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements about anticipated future operating and financial performance, financial position and liquidity, business strategies, regulatory and competitive outlook, investment and expenditure plans, capital and financing needs, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, strategies, outlook, needs, plans, objectives or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. These factors include the following: failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations; the effect of potential future supervisory action against us or Hanmi Bank; general economic and business conditions internationally, nationally and in those areas in which we operate; volatility and deterioration in the credit and equity markets; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; availability of capital from private and government sources; demographic changes; competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain loans and deposits; fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of our interest rate spread; risks of natural disasters; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyber-attacks; the failure to maintain current technologies; inability to successfully implement future information technology enhancements; difficult business and economic conditions that can adversely affect our industry and business, including competition, fraudulent activity and negative publicity; risks associated with Small Business Administration loans; failure to attract or retain key employees; our ability to access cost-effective funding; fluctuations in real estate values; changes in accounting policies and practices; the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies impacting the value of the products of our borrowers; changes in governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, any increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums; the ability of Hanmi Bank to make distributions to Hanmi Financial Corporation, which is restricted by certain factors, including Hanmi Bank’s retained earnings, net income, prior distributions made, and certain other financial tests; ability to identify a suitable strategic partner or to consummate a strategic transaction; adequacy of our allowance for credit losses; credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our credit losses expense and allowance for credit losses; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and the ability of our borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans and other terms of credit agreements; our ability to control expenses; changes in securities markets; and risks as it relates to cyber security against our information technology infrastructure and those of our third party providers and vendors.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and whether the gradual reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause credit loss expense to increase; our allowance for credit losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend; our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs; potential goodwill impairment charges could result if acquired assets and operations are adversely affected and remain at reduced levels; due to recent legislation and government action limiting foreclosure of real property and reduced governmental capacity to effect business transactions and property transfers, we may have more difficulty taking possession of collateral supporting our loans, which may negatively impact our ability to minimize our losses, which could adversely impact our financial results; and we face litigation, regulatory enforcement and reputation risk as a result of our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and the risk that the Small Business Administration may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties.  Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.

For additional information concerning risks we face, see “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part I of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, except as required by law.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments placed restrictions on travel, gatherings and business activities.  Various state governments and federal agencies have required lenders to provide forbearance and other relief to borrowers (e.g., waiving late payment and other fees).  The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and passed legislation that provided relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak.  Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry.  Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. We have many employees working remotely and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to consolidated financial statements in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We had no significant changes in our accounting policies since the filing of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these critical accounting policies. For a description of these critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Executive Overview

Net income was $16.7 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with $2.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income for the 2021 first quarter primarily reflects a $7.4 million qualitative provision associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, a $4.9 million provision related to changes in other qualitative factors, a $2.6 million specific provision for a previously identified troubled loan relationship, and a $823,000 provision for off-balance sheet items.

Other financial highlights include the following:

• Cash and due from banks increased $254.6 million to $646.4 million as of March 31, 2021 from $391.8 million at December 31, 2020, primarily from a higher volume of non-interest bearing deposits, reflecting proceeds from PPP loans and other government assistance programs, as well as an increase in our marketing efforts.
• Loans receivable, before allowance for credit losses, were $4.82 billion at March 31, 2021 compared with $4.88 billion at December 31, 2020.
--- ---
• Deposits were $5.51 billion at March 31, 2021 compared with $5.28 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase reflects principally a $275.9 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest derived from earning assets, and interest paid on liabilities obtained to fund those assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Net interest income is also affected by changes in the yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes. Interest rates charged on loans receivable are affected principally by changes to interest rates, the demand for loans receivable, the supply of money available for lending purposes, and other competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters, and the actions of the Federal Reserve.

The following table shows the average balance of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity; the amount of interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, and interest expense; the average yield or rate for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; and the net interest spread and the net interest margin for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances.

Interest and dividend income, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased $6.9 million, or 11.7 percent, to $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $58.9 million for the same period in 2020 due primarily to a $4.0 million or 7.4 percent decrease in the interest on loans and a $2.5 million or 68.8 percent decrease in the interest on securities. Interest expense decreased $8.9 million, or 59.5 percent, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $15.0 million for the same period in 2020 due primarily to a $8.8 million or 68.9 percent decrease in the interest on deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $46.0 million and $44.0 million, respectively. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by the decrease in interest income on interest-earning assets. The net interest spread and net interest margin, on a taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were 2.81 percent and 3.09 percent, respectively, compared with 2.80 percent and 3.36 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2020.

The average balance of interest earning assets increased $766.8 million, or 14.6 percent, to $6.03 billion as of March 31, 2021 from $5.26 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The average balance of loans increased $325.4 million, or 7.2 percent, to $4.84 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $4.52 billion as of March 31, 2020. The average balance of securities increased $150.3 million, or 24.1 percent, to $774.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $623.7 million as of March 31, 2020. The increase in the average balance of loans was due mainly to new loan production driven by PPP loans.

The average yield on interest-earning assets, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased 100 basis points to 3.50 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 4.50 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020, mainly due to the origination of $440.3 million of PPP loans at a rate of one percent during the second quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021. The average yield on loans decreased to 4.24 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 4.86 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the continued decrease in market interest rates commencing in the first quarter of 2020 and the origination of $308.8 million of first draw PPP loans at a rate of one percent during the second quarter of 2020. The average yield on securities, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased to 0.59 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 2.34 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020, attributable to the sale of most of the portfolio during second quarter 2020 and subsequently reinvesting into a portfolio of lower yielding securities due to the continued decline in market interest rates.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $35.8 million, or 1.0 percent, to $3.58 billion as of March 31, 2021 compared to $3.54 billion as of March 31, 2020. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted primarily from higher noninterest bearing demand deposits, money market and savings balances, offset by a decrease in time deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 101 basis points to 0.69 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from 1.70 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was due to lower market interest rates and a shift away from time deposits to low-interest money market and savings accounts.

Credit Loss Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, credit loss expense was $2.1 million, comprised of a $1.0 million provision for loan losses, a $2.1 million provision for an SBA guarantee repair loss, a $450,000 negative provision for off-balance sheet items and a $471,000 negative provision for losses on accrued interest receivable for loans currently or previously modified under the CARES Act. For the same period in 2020, loan loss provision was $14.9 million and provision for off-balance sheet items was $823,000. The credit loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 reflected the higher allowance as of March 31, 2020 from a $7.4 million qualitative provision associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, a $4.9 million provision related to other qualitative factors, an additional provision for a previously identified troubled loan relationship of $2.6 million, and an off-balance sheet provision of $823,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, noninterest income was $9.8 million, an increase of $3.6 million, or 57.6 percent, compared with $6.2 million for the same period in 2020. Most of the increase was attributable to a $2.5 million gain on the sale of $108.6 million of PPP loans originated during the quarter, and $1.7 million in gains on the sale of $18.1 million of non-PPP 7(a) SBA loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Repossessed personal property expense 32 21 11
Total noninterest expense $ 29,535 $ 31,068 $ (1,533 )

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, noninterest expense was $29.5 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 4.9 percent, compared with $31.1 million for the same period in 2020. Salaries and benefits decreased $929,000, as $1.4 million in capitalized costs from second draw PPP originations was offset partially by higher incentive compensation expense. Noninterest expense also benefited from lower professional fees related to a prior year troubled loan relationship resolved in 2020 and prior year implementation costs of the new CECL standard, and lower advertising and promotion expense, offset partially higher data processing costs and other real estate owned expense.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $7.5 million and $1.0 million representing an effective income tax rate of 31.1 percent and 30.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 was principally due to an increase in pre-tax earnings.

Financial Condition

Securities

As of March 31, 2021, our securities portfolio consisted of U.S. government agency and sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and debt securities and, to a lesser extent, U.S. Treasury securities. Most of these securities carry fixed interest rates. Other than holdings of U.S. government agency and sponsored agency obligations, there were no securities of any one issuer exceeding 10 percent of stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Loans Receivable

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), net of deferred loan fees and costs, discounts and allowance for credit losses, were $4.73 billion and $4.79 billion, respectively, representing a decrease of $61.0 million, or 1.3 percent. The decrease reflects $303.3 million in loan sales and payoffs, including $108.6 million in second draw PPP loan sales and $39.0 million in SBA PPP loan forgiveness, and amortization of $94.9 million, offset partially by $348.0 million in new loan production, including $131.5 million of second draw PPP loan production.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, total loan disbursements consisted of $103.1 million in commercial real estate loans, $34.1 million in leases receivable, $42.3 million in commercial and industrial loans, $155.9 million in SBA loans ($131.5 million in second draw PPP loans) and $12.7 million in residential/consumer loans.

Loan Quality Indicators

Delinquent loans (defined as 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing) were $6.9 million and $9.5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, representing a decrease of $2.5 million or 26.9 percent, in 2021. There were no loans 90 days or more past due and accruing at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Special mention loans were $96.1 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $77.0 million at December 31, 2020. The quarter-over-quarter change reflects additions of $33.8 million and reductions (comprising upgrades, downgrades and payments) of $14.7 million. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, special mention loans included $72.0 million and $49.1 million, respectively, of loans identified as adversely affected by the pandemic.

Classified loans were $147.4 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $140.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter. The quarter-over-quarter change reflects additions of $28.5 million and reductions (comprising upgrades, payments, sales, and charge-offs) of $21.3 million. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, classified loans included $69.5 million and $54.0 million, respectively, of loans identified as adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming loans consist of loans receivable on nonaccrual status and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and OREO. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on nonaccrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan's delinquency. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for nonaccrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means, or vacant bank properties for which their usage for operations has ceased and management intends to offer for sale.

Except for nonaccrual loans and loans modified under the CARES Act set forth below, management is not aware of any other loans as of March 31, 2021 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan or lease repayment terms, or any known events that would result in a loan or lease being designated as nonperforming at some future date. Management cannot, however, predict the extent to which a deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increases in general rates of interest, or changes in the financial condition or business of borrower may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to pay.

Nonaccrual loans were $55.1 million at March 31, 2021 or 1.14 percent of loans, compared with $83.0 million at December 31, 2020, or 1.70 percent of the portfolio. The quarter-over-quarter change reflects additions of $2.7 million loans and reductions (comprising upgrades, payments, sales, and charge-offs) of $30.6 million. At March 31, 2021, nonaccrual loans included $21.0 million of loans adversely affected by the pandemic.

Nonperforming assets were $56.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2021, or 0.88 percent of total assets, compared with $85.4 million, or 1.38 percent, at the end of the prior quarter.

All of the $55.1 million and $83.0 million nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were considered nonperforming and resulted in aggregate individually evaluated allowances of $12.2 million and $14.1 million, respectively. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans is calculated as the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the value of the collateral as determined by recent appraisals less estimated costs to sell. The allowance for collateral-dependent loans varies based on the collateral coverage of the loan at the time of designation as nonperforming. We continue to monitor the collateral coverage, based on recent appraisals, on these loans on a quarterly basis and adjust the allowance accordingly.

Loans modified under the CARES Act declined 25.0 percent to $116.4 million at March 31, 2021 from $155.6 million at December 31, 2020.  At March 31, 2021, approximately 10.6 percent, or $12.3 million, of modified loans are currently under deferred payment arrangements, compared with approximately 13.6 percent, or $21.1 million at December 31, 2020. The remainder of modified loans were making payments that are less than the contractually required amount.  Of the modified loan portfolio, at March 31, 2021, 43.6 percent were special mention and 15.6 percent were classified, compared with 20.1 percent and 15.7 percent at December 31, 2020.  In addition, 7.1 percent and 4.6 percent were on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Individually Evaluated Loans

The Company reviews loans on an individual basis when the loan does not share similar risk characteristics with loan pools.

Individually evaluated loans were $63.5 million and $91.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, representing a decrease of $27.5 million, or 30.2 percent. Specific allowances associated with individually evaluated loans decreased $1.9 million to $12.2 million as of March 31, 2021 compared with $14.1 million as of December 31, 2020.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no loans restructured which were subsequently classified as TDRs. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we restructured monthly payments for five loans, with a net carrying value of $4.5 million at the time of modification, which we subsequently classified as TDRs. Temporary payment structure modifications included, but were not limited to, extending the maturity date, reducing the amount of principal and/or interest due monthly, and/or allowing for interest only monthly payments for six months or less.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, TDRs on an accrual status were $8.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively, most of which were deferral of principal or extensions of maturity. A $2,000 and $5,000 allowance relating to these loans, respectively, was included in the allowance for credit losses. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, restructured loans on nonaccrual status were $15.2 million and $17.1 million, respectively, and a $5,000 and $12,000 allowance relating to these loans, respectively, was included in the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses and Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Off-Balance Sheet Items

The Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets based on historical, current, and forward-looking information. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected troubled debt restructuring.

Management selected three loss methodologies for the collective allowance estimation. At March 31, 2021, the Company used the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method to estimate allowances for credit losses for the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, the PD/LGD method for the commercial property, construction and residential property portfolios, and the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method to estimate expected credit losses for equipment financing agreements or the equipment lease receivables portfolio. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are individually evaluated for allowances.

For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company determined that four quarters represented a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverted to a historical loss rate over twelve quarters on a straight-line basis. For each of these loan segments, the Company applied an annualized historical Probability of Default/Loss Given Default (“PD/LGD”) using all available historical periods. Since reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions are imbedded directly into the DCF model, qualitative adjustments are reduced but considered. The PD/LGD method incorporates a forecast into loss estimates using a qualitative adjustment.

The Company used the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method to estimate expected credit losses for equipment financing agreements or the equipment lease receivables portfolio. The Company applied an expected loss ratio based on internal historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company relied on the economic projections from Moody’s Analytics Economic Scenarios and Forecasts to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period whereas it had previously relied on Federal Reserve Economic Database economic data. For all loan pools, the Company utilizes and forecasts the national unemployment rate as the primary loss driver.

To adjust the historical and forecast periods to current conditions, the Company applies various qualitative factors derived from market, industry or business specific data, changes in the underlying portfolio composition, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, nonperforming and adversely rated leases, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

The allowance for credit losses was $88.4 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $90.4 million at December 31, 2020.  The allowance attributed to individually evaluated loans was $12.2 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $14.1 million at December 31, 2020. The allowance attributed to collectively evaluated loans was $76.2 million at March 31, 2021 compared with $76.4 million at December 31, 2020, and considered the impact of changes in macroeconomic assumptions including an improving unemployment rate for the subsequent four quarters.  The Company recognizes the inherent uncertainties in the estimate of the allowance for credit losses and the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have on borrowers. The following table reflects our

allocation of the allowance for credit losses by loan category as well as the loans receivable for each loan category to total loans, including related percentages:

Nonperforming loans at end of period $ 55,058 $ 83,032

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses related to off-balance sheet items, primarily unfunded loan commitments, was $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Bank closely monitors the borrower’s repayment capabilities, while funding existing commitments to ensure losses are minimized. Based on management’s evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality and prevailing economic conditions, we believe these allowances were adequate for current expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposure as of March 31, 2021.

Total deposits 5,509,823 100.0 % $ 5,275,008 100.0 %

All values are in US Dollars.

Total deposits were $5.51 billion and $5.28 billion as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, representing an increase of $234.8 million, or 4.5 percent.

Growth was primarily driven by an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and to a lesser extent increases in money market and savings deposits and interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a reduction in time deposits. At March 31, 2021, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 87.4 percent compared with 92.5 percent at the end of the previous quarter. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits reflects growth from new and existing customer relationships as well as increases from second draw PPP loans and similar economic stimulus activities.

As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits (deposits in amounts greater than $250,000, which is the maximum amount for federal deposit insurance) was $2.27 billion, of which $2.01 billion were demand deposits and money market and savings deposits and $259.6 million were time deposits. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of uninsured deposits was $2.09 billion, consisting of $1.82 billion in demand deposits and money market and savings deposits and $265.6 million in time deposits.

Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures

Borrowings mostly take the form of advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, advances from the FHLB were $150.0 million. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Bank had $150.0 million in term advances and no overnight advances from the FHLB.

The following is a summary of contractual maturities greater than twelve months of FHLB advances:

See “Note 8 – Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures” to the consolidated financial statements for more details.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital protection through stable earnings. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established within our guidelines.

The Company performs simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes. The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated below) as of March 31, 2021. The Company compares this stress simulation to policy limits, which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a 1- to 12-month and a 13- to 24- month horizon, given the basis point adjustment in interest rates reflected below.

(100%) $ (125,598 ) (23.57 %)

The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast, and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans receivable and securities, pricing strategies on loans receivable and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Capital Resources

Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate capital levels, the Board regularly assesses projected sources and uses of capital, expected loan growth, anticipated strategic actions (such as stock repurchases and dividends), and projected capital thresholds under adverse and severely adverse economic conditions. In addition, the Board considers the Company’s access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional debt and securities, including common stock or notes, to meet its capital needs.

In response to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board reduced the quarterly cash dividend paid on common stock for the third and fourth quarter of 2020 to $0.08 per share from $0.12 per share and $0.24 per share in the second and first quarters of 2020, respectively. The Board believed these actions were the most prudent course of action as it continued to monitor the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. During the first quarter of 2021, the Board authorized an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.10 per share due to the stabilization of Company results and financial condition. In addition, during the second quarter of 2021, due to the continued stabilization of Company results and financial condition, the Board authorized an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.12 per share. The Board expects to continue to re-evaluate the level of quarterly dividends in subsequent quarters.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders depends in part upon dividends it receives from the Bank. California law restricts the amount available for cash dividends to the lesser of a bank’s retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any distributions to shareholders made during such period).  Where the above test is not met, cash dividends may still be paid, with the prior approval of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”), in an amount not exceeding the greatest of: (1) retained earnings of the bank; (2) net income of the bank for its last fiscal year; or (3) the net income of the bank for its current fiscal year.  As of April 1, 2021, after giving effect to the 2021 second quarter dividend declared by the Company, the Bank has the ability to pay $13.5 million of dividends without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DFPI.

At March 31, 2021, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio of 15.26 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.01 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 14.01 percent and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 10.99 percent, placed the Bank in the “well capitalized” category pursuant to capital rules, which is defined as institutions with total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.00 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratios equal to or greater than 6.50 percent, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00 percent.

At March 31, 2021, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 15.54 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.26 percent, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.84 percent and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 9.61 percent.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

FASB ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform.  The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are elective and apply to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform.

The new guidance provided several optional expedients that reduce costs and complexity of accounting for reference rate reform, including measures to simplify or modify accounting issues resulting from reference rate reform for contract modifications, hedges, and debt securities.

The amendments are effective for all entities from the beginning of an interim period that includes the issuance date of ASU 2020-04. An entity may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022.

The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On January 24, 2019, the Company announced a stock repurchase program that authorized the repurchase of up to 5 percent of its outstanding shares or approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock.
