STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income before provision for losses on loans and loan commitments totaled $39.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 0.7% from $38.9 million for the first quarter of 2016 and an increase of 4.5% from $37.5 million for the second quarter of 2015. Relative to the first quarter of 2016, an increase in average earning assets was partially offset by a slight decline in net interest margin.

Net interest margin was 3.53% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 3.54% for the first quarter of 2016, and 3.59% for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in net interest margin compared to the first quarter of 2016 was primarily attributable to an increase in the cost of deposits.

Loan yields were 4.62% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 4.61% for the first quarter of 2016, and 4.78% for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in loan yields for the second quarter of 2016, compared to the first quarter of 2016, was primarily due to an increase in yield on commercial real estate loans.

The total cost of deposits was 0.64% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 0.62% for the first quarter of 2016, and 0.61% for the second quarter of 2015. Compared to the first quarter of 2016, the increase in the total cost of deposits was attributable to increases in rates in all deposit categories.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income was $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2015.

The Company recognized $3.4 million in gain on sale of loans during the second quarter of 2016, compared to $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in gain on sale of loans for the second quarter of 2016, compared to the previous quarter, was due to an increase in sales of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and residential mortgage loans. Gain on sale of loans in the second quarter of 2016 consisted of $2.0 million in gains on sales of SBA loans and $1.4 million in gains on sales of residential mortgage loans.

Other non-interest income totaled $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase in other non-interest income, compared to the first quarter of 2016, was due to an increase in loan servicing income and income recorded from the fair value change of servicing assets.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $21.6 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $26.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2015. Non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2016 included $527,000 in merger-related costs consisting mostly of consulting and legal expenses related to the proposed merger of equals with BBCN.

Total salaries and employee benefits expense was $13.1 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2016, compared to the previous quarter, was primarily due to lower payroll taxes, bonus accrual expense, and stock-based compensation expense.

Other non-interest expense was $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2016, and $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2015. Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 was reduced by a $3.7 million gain on the sale of other real estate owned (OREO).

The Company’s operating efficiency ratio was 44.2% for the second quarter of 2016, compared with 56.3% for the first quarter of 2016, and 50.6% for the second quarter of 2015. The efficiency ratio before including gain on sale of OREO of $3.7 million was 51.8% for the second quarter of 2016.*

BALANCE SHEET

Total loans receivable (net of deferred fees and costs) were $3.85 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $3.79 billion at March 31, 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, increases in commercial and industrial loans, residential real estate loans and real estate construction loans receivable were partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans. Total loans held-for-sale decreased to $24.2 million at June 30, 2016, from $90.4 million at March 31, 2016, due to a decrease in both residential mortgage and SBA loans held-for-sale. During the second quarter of 2016, part of the residential mortgage loans sold were through a bulk sale.

The following table shows total loans receivable, loans held-for-sale, and total loans by loan type:

The increase in loan originations for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the previous quarter, was primarily due to an increase in commercial and industrial loans and warehouse lines of credit.

Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale at the end of the second quarter of 2016 were $15.2 million, compared to $78.0 million at the end of the previous quarter.

Total deposits increased to $4.01 billion at June 30, 2016, from $3.85 billion at March 31, 2016, primarily due to increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits.
