Forward-Looking Information
Certain matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There can be no assurance that the results described or implied in such forward-looking statements will, in fact, be achieved and actual results, performance, and achievements could differ materially because our business involves inherent risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties include: possible deterioration in economic conditions in our areas of operation; interest rate risk associated with volatile interest rates and related asset-liability matching risk; liquidity risks; risk of significant non-earning assets, and net credit losses that could occur, particularly in times of weak economic conditions or times of rising interest rates; and regulatory risks associated with current and future regulations. For additional information concerning these and other risk factors, see "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" contained herein and “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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, 2012 which was derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's 2012 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 June 30, 2013 and the results of operations for the three and six months then ended. 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, the valuation of servicing assets, and the determination of the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities including the fair value of loans acquired with credit deterioration.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The amendments in this ASU clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. Liquidation is the process by which a company converts its assets to cash or other assets and settles its obligations with creditors in anticipation of ceasing all of its activities. An organization in liquidation must prepare its financial statements using a basis of accounting that communicates information to users of those financial statements to enable those users to develop expectations about how much the organization will have available for distribution to investors after disposing of its assets and settling its obligations.
FASB ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” - ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present either on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 for the reporting period ending March 31, 2013, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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 expenses.

Foster Bankshares, Inc.
On April 15, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Foster Bankshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a Chicago-based company, ("Foster") dated April 15, 2013. At June 30, 2013, Foster had total assets of approximately $381.0 million , including $302.1 million of gross loans and $333.2 million in deposits.
The transaction is valued at approximately $4.6 million , valuing each outstanding share of Foster common stock at $34.67 . Foster shareholders will have a choice between electing to receive the cash value per share or, for shareholders who qualify as accredited investors, 2.62771 shares of BBCN common stock for each share of Foster common stock or a combination thereof, with no limitations on the consideration mix. The consideration for the transaction is subject to reduction in certain events. Foster has no outstanding options or warrants. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2013.

Pacific International Bancorp, Inc.
On February 15, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Pacific International Bancorp, Inc. ("PIB"), a Seattle based company, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 22, 2012. The Company acquired PIB in order to increase the Company's presence in terms of branch offices and deposit market share in the Seattle market. PIB's primary subsidiary, Pacific International Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank, operated four bank branches in the Seattle metropolitan area.
In connection with the acquisition, the consideration paid, the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are summarized in the following table:

The Company estimated the fair value for most loans acquired from PIB 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 the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. 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. We 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 PIB’s allowance for loan losses associated with the loans we acquired as the loans were initially recorded at fair value. The loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality from PIB as of February 15, 2013 were as follows:

Fair value of acquired loans

The fair value of savings and transactional deposit accounts acquired from PIB was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The projected cash flows from maturing certificates were calculated based on contractual rates. The fair value of the certificates of deposit was calculated by discounting their contractual cash flows at a market rate for a certificate of deposit with a corresponding maturity

14


The fair value of borrowings assumed was determined by estimating projected future cash outflows and discounting them at a market rate of interest.
The fair value of the net deferred tax assets acquired from PIB was provisional and adjustments to the provisional amount may occur during the measurement period as the Company obtains additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
The $2.4 million of goodwill recognized in the PIB acquisition represents the future economic benefit arising from the acquisition including: the creation of a platform that can support future operations and strengthening the Company's existing presence in the Pacific Northwest market. Goodwill is not amortized for book purposes and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The goodwill arising from the PIB acquisition was reduced by a net $1.1 million down to $92.3 million due to adjustments to the deferred tax asset, which was provisional as of March 31, 2013, and other adjustments of certain acquisition date fair value asset and liability estimates during the second quarter of 2013.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred as merger related expenses. The Company incurred $81 thousand and $1.3 million in PIB acquisition related expenses during three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. These expenses were comprised of salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, professional services, and other non-interest expense.

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 (“FMV”) 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 FMV 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.

15


The Company has another stock-based incentive plan, the Center Financial Corporation 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, adopted April 12, 2006, as amended and restated June 13, 2007 (the "2006 Plan"), which was assumed by the Company during the merger with Center Bank.
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 and 2006 Plans 2,659,119 shares were available for future grants as of June 30, 2013 .
The total shares reserved for issuance will serve as the underlying value for all equity awards under the 2007 and 2006 Plans. 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.

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 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 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 June 30, 2013 and 2012 , stock options and restricted shares awards for approximately 192,000 shares and 564,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , stock options and restricted shares awards for approximately 199,000 shares and 564,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were antidilutive. Additionally, warrants to purchase 19,000 shares and 15,000 shares of common stock (related to the TARP Capital Purchase Plan) were antidilutive and excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. Warrants to purchase 337,000 shares common stock (related to the TARP Capital Purchase Plan) were antidilutive and excluded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012

* 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 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 trust preferred securities at June 30, 2013 had an amortized cost of $ 4.5 million and an unrealized loss of $ 738 thousand at June 30, 2013 . 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 Company's U.S. Government agency and U.S. Government sponsored enterprise investments were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013. All of the Company's U.S. Government agency and U.S. Government sponsored enterprise investments have high credit ratings ("AA" grade). 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

21


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 June 30, 2013 .
The Company considers the losses on the investments in unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2013 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.

Our 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"). The 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) 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). The outstanding principal balance and the related carrying amount of the acquired PIB loans included in the statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2013 was $143.0 million and $121.6 million , respectively.

The following table presents changes in the accretable discount on the Acquired Credit Impaired Loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 :

On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value of the Acquired Credit Impaired Loans 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 Acquired Credit Impaired Loans may change; and 3) estimates of the amount of the contractual principal and interest that will not be collected (nonaccretable difference) may change.

Unpaid contractual principal balance less charge-offs, interest applied to principal and purchase discounts.

Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or management deems the collectability 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.

The Acquired Loans include Acquired Credit Impaired Loans (ASC 310-30 loans) and Acquired Performing Loans (loans that were pass graded at the time of the acquisition).
(2)
The past due and accruing Acquired Loans include Acquired Credit Impaired Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 of $7.0 million , $12.1 million and $17.7 million that were 30-59 days, 60-89 days and 90 or more days past due, respectively.
(3) Nonaccrual loans exclude guaranteed portion of delinquent SBA loans that are in liquidation totaling $17.6 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, Acquired Credit Impaired Loans 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.
We categorize 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. We analyze 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. We use the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass: Loans that meet a preponderance or more of the Company's underwriting criteria and evidence an acceptable level of risk.

34


Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention 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.
Substandard: Loans classified as substandard 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 classified as doubtful 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.
The Migration Analysis is a formula methodology based on the Bank's actual historical net charge-off experience for each loan class (type) pool, and risk grade. The migration analysis is centered on the Bank's internal credit risk rating system. Our 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.
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 historical loss migration methodology. 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 to the most recent loss history. That loss experience is then applied to the stratified portfolio at each quarter end. For the Acquired Performing Loans, a general loan loss allowance is provided to the extent that there has been credit deterioration since the date of acquisition.

36


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. Generally, the factors are considered to have no significant impact (neutral) to our historical migration ratios. 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.

We also establish specific loss allowances for loans where we 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, we obtain 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, we either obtain 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 our collateral property has declined since the most recent valuation date, we adjust the value of the property downward to reflect current market conditions. If the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan, we then recognize 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 Bank 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, we base 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 value of the loan's collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. We evaluate 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 our Acquired Credit Impaired Loans, 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

37


acquisition of the loans, an allowance for loan losses would be established based on our estimate of future credit losses over the remaining life of the loans.

Under certain circumstances, we provide borrowers relief through loan modifications. These modifications are either temporary in nature (“temporary modifications”) or are more substantive. At June 30, 2013 , total modified loans were $67.2 million , compared to $ 51.5 million at December 31, 2012 . 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.

38


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 our internal underwriting policy.
A summary of TDRs on accrual and nonaccrual by type of concession as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 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 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 June 30, 2013 were comprised of 15 commercial real estate loans totaling $22.7 million and 27 commercial business loans totaling $13.0 million , and 2 consumer loans totaling $532 thousand . TDRs on accrual status at December 31, 2012 were comprised of 12 commercial real estate loans totaling $ 23.6 million and 20 commercial business loans totaling $ 5.8 million , and 2 consumer loans totaling $536 thousand .  The Company expects that the TDRs on accrual status as of June 30, 2013 , 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 still monitored for potential impairment.
We have allocated $ 12.6 million and $ 6.3 million of specific reserves to TDRs as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , we did not have any outstanding commitments to extend additional funds to these borrowers.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. As of June 30, 2013, the specific reserves totaled $ 238 thousand and $5.2 million for the TDRs that had payment defaults during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The total charge offs for the TDRs that had payment defaults during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $387 thousand .
There were five Legacy Loans that subsequently defaulted during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 that were modified as follows: two Commercial Business loans totaling $50 thousand were modified through maturity/amortization concessions, one Commercial Business loan totaling $38 thousand was modified through a payment concession, and two Real Estate Commercial - Retail loan totaling $748 thousand was modified through a rate concession.

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 $ 2.9 million and $882 thousand at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. These covered nonperforming assets are subject to the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The covered nonperforming assets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

Related Party Loans
In the ordinary course of business, the Company entered 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the outstanding principal balance as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $8.2 million and $11.1 million , respectively.

8.
Borrowings
We maintain 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 $1.59 billion at June 30, 2013 and $1.35 billion at December 31, 2012 . 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , real estate secured loans with a carrying amount of approximately $2.08 billion and $2.04 billion , respectively, were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , other than FHLB stock, no securities were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB.
At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , FHLB advances were $421.5 million and $420.7 million , had a weighted average interest rate of 1.17% and 1.24% , respectively, and had various maturities through May 2018 . At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , $66.5 million and $66.7 million , respectively, of the advances were putable advances with various putable dates and strike prices. The cost of FHLB advances as of June 30, 2013 ranged between 0.47% and 3.89% . At June 30, 2013 , the Company had a remaining borrowing capacity of $1.17 billion .
At June 30, 2013 , the contractual maturities for FHLB advances were as follows:

In addition, as a member of the FRB system, we may also borrow from the FRB of San Francisco. The maximum amount that we 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 we pledge. At June 30, 2013 , the outstanding principal balance of the qualifying loans was $470.2 million , and no borrowings were outstanding against this line.

9.
Subordinated Debentures
At June 30, 2013 , 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 $4.0 million of trust preferred securities, which the Company redeemed on June 17, 2013. 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. BBCN Bancorp’s obligations under the subordinated debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by BBCN Bancorp 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. BBCN Bancorp has

42


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. BBCN Bancorp also has a right to defer consecutive payments of interest on the debentures for up to five years.

The Center Capital Trust I trust preferred security was assumed in the merger with Center Financial Corporation. The remaining discount was $ 5.5 million at June 30, 2013 and the effective rate of the security, including the effect of the discount accretion, was 6.03% at June 30, 2013 .


The Company’s investment in the common trust securities of the issuer trusts of $1.6 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , 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 June 30, 2013 , $40.5 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 June 30, 2013 , we will be able to continue to include its existing trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital under the Dodd-Frank Act.

10.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate cap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million , which expired in February 2013. Under this cap agreement, the Company received quarterly payments from the counterparty when the quarterly resetting 3 Month London-Interbank Offered Rate exceeded the strike level of 2.00% . The upfront fee paid to the counterparty in entering into this interest rate cap agreement was $ 890 thousand .
The interest rate cap agreement was considered “free-standing” due to the non-designation of a hedge relationship to any of the Company's financial assets or liabilities. Under FASB ASC 815, valuation gains or losses on interest rate caps not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings.

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 $1.74 million and $748 thousand at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, that relate primarily to uncertainties related to California enterprise zone loan interest deductions and anticipated adjustments from the 2010 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination.
We anticipate an increase of approximately $220 thousand in the unrecognized tax benefit related to the California enterprise zone loan interest deduction and a decrease of approximately $971 thousand in the unrecognized tax benefit related to an expected settlement with the IRS for the 2010 tax year within the next twelve months.
The statute of limitations related to the consolidated Federal income tax return is closed for all tax years up to and including 2008 . 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 IRS for the 2010 and 2011 tax years 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. Within the last twelve months, examinations by the City of New York for tax years 2007, 2008, and 2009, and the FTB for tax years 2007 and 2008, were concluded with no material adjustments.
We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  We had approximately $85 thousand and $52 thousand for accrued interest and penalties at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , 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 June 30, 2013 .

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, less costs to sell and result in a Level 2.
Derivatives
The fair value of our derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and caps, is based on derivative valuation models using market data inputs as of the valuation date that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant management judgments (Level 2 inputs).
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, non-interest-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

48


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 fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar remaining maturities and is not presented herein. The fair value of these financial instruments is not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Stockholders’ Equity and 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 effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements, such as restrictions on the growth, expansion 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , 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.
In June 2012, the Company redeemed $55 million of our Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, issued by Center Financial under the Treasury Department's TARP Capital Purchase Program. A ten-year warrant to purchase Center Financial common stock issued in connection with Center Financial's sale of preferred stock to the Treasury Department was converted into a warrant to purchase BBCN Bancorp common stock upon our merger with Center. Reflecting the merger exchange ratio of 0.7805 , the warrant now entitles the holder of the warrant to purchase, in one or more exercises of the warrant, up to 337,480 shares of BBCN Bancorp common stock at a price of $ 12.22 per share. The Company has not reached an agreement with the Treasury Department regarding repurchase of this warrant.
In December 2008, PIB granted a ten -year warrant to purchase up to 127,785 shares of its common stock (in relation to the TARP Capital Purchase Plan) which were assumed by the Company upon the acquisition of PIB. On the acquisition date of February 15, 2013, these warrants were canceled and converted into a warrant to purchase BBCN Bancorp common stock. The warrant entitles the holder to purchase, on one or more exercises of the warrant, up to 18,045 shares of BBCN Bancorp common stock at a price of $54.03 per share. The warrant expires on the December 12, 2018. The Company has not reached an agreement with the Treasury Department regarding repurchase of this warrant.

Calculations are based on average quarterly asset balances.
(6)
Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and accruing restructured loans. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing consist of acquired loans that were originally recorded at fair value upon acquisitions. These loans are considered to be accruing as we can reasonably estimate future cash flows on acquired loans and we expect to fully collect the carrying value of these loans.

Results of Operations
Overview
Total assets increased $222.4 million from $5.64 billion at December 31, 2012 to $5.86 billion at June 30, 2013 . The increase in total assets was primarily due to a $217.1 million increase in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, from $4.23 billion at December 31, 2012 to $4.45 billion at June 30, 2013 and a $20.8 million increase in securities available for sale from $704.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $725.2 million at June 30, 2013 These increases were partially offset by a $16.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $312.9 million at December 31, 2012 to $296.3 million at June 30, 2013 . The increase in total assets was funded by a $192.8 million increase in deposits from $4.38 billion at December 31, 2012 to $4.58 billion at June 30, 2013 , a $817 thousand increase in FHLB advances from $420.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $421.5 million at June 30, 2013 and net income available to common stockholders of $40.1 million .
The net income available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $22.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, compared to the net income available to common stockholders of $15.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2012, an increase of $7.1 million, or 45.4%. The net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $40.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted common share, compared to the net income available to common stockholders of $37.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted common share, for the same period of 2012, an increase of $2.5 million, or 6.6%. The acquisitions impact the comparability of the operating results for the second quarter and the six months period ending June 30 of 2013 and 2012 because the acquisitions resulted in increases in interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities, employees and branch locations. In addition, 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. The operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include the following major pre-tax acquisition accounting adjustments and expenses related to acquisitions.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net Interest Income
A principal component of the Company's 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

54


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 June 30, 2013 with the Same Period of 2012
Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $ 62.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $2.6 million, or 4.37%, compared to $ 59.5 million for the same period of 2012. 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 second quarter of 2013 was $ 69.4 million , a increase of $2.4 million, or 3.64%, compared to $ 66.9 million for the same period of 2012. The increase resulted from a a $10.8 million increase in interest income due to an increase in average interest-earning assets and partially offset by a $8.4 million decrease in interest income due to a decrease in the yield on average interest-earnings assets.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 with the Same Period of 2012
Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $121.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $1.4 million, or 1.21%, compared to $120.4 million for the same period of 2012. The increase was principally attributable to the increase in average interest earning assets, which was partially offset by the decline in the net interest margin.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $136.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 0.05%, compared to $135.5 million for the same period of 2012. The increase resulted from a $20.4 million increase in interest income due to an increase in average interest-earning assets and partially offset by a $19.7 million decrease in interest income due to a decrease in the yield on average interest-earnings assets.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 4.49%, a decrease of 53 basis points from 5.02% for the same period of 2012. The decrease in the net interest margin was principally due to the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, as summarized in the following table.

Excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2013 decreased 29 basis points to 3.86% compared to 4.15% for the same period of 2012. The net interest margin excluding the effect of acquisition accounting adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2013, decreased 19 basis points to 3.91%, compared with the net interest margin for the same period of 2012. The decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in the weighted average yield on loans.

The weighted average yield on loans decreased to 5.78% for the second quarter of 2013 from 6.53% for the second quarter of 2012 and decreased to 5.76% for the six months period ended June 30, 2013 from 6.64% for the same period in 2012. The change in the yield was due to continued pricing pressure on loan interest rates and the decline in the effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, as summarized in the following table.

(1) Acquisition accounting adjustments is 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 second quarter of 2013 decreased 57 basis points to 5.02% compared to 5.59% for the same period of 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the lower yields on acquired loan portfolios and the reduction in market rates compared to a year ago due to continued pricing pressures. At June 30, 2013 , fixed rate loans accounted for 40% of the loan portfolio, compared to 38% at June 30, 2012 , reflecting the Company's focus on variable rate business loans. The weighted average yield on the variable rate and fixed rate loan portfolios (excluding loan discount accretion) at June 30, 2013 was 4.50% and 5.31%, respectively, compared with 4.60% and 6.25% at June 30, 2012 .

The weighted average yield on securities available for sale for the second quarter of 2013 was 2.0%, compared to 2.45% for the same period of 2012. The weighted average yield on securities available for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 1.99%, compared to 2.58% for the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the replacement of maturing securities with lower yielding investments as market interest rates declined.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the second quarter of 2013 was 0.49% , a decrease of 6 basis points from 0.55% for the same period of 2012. The amortization of the premium on time deposits assumed in the acquisition positively affected the weighted average cost of deposits, as summarized in the following table.

(1) Acquisition accounting adjustments is 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 0.51% for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 0.63% for the same period of 2012 and 0.52% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 0.66 for the same period of 2012. The decrease was due to reductions in the cost of interest-bearing demand deposits and an increase in the proportion of non-interest bearing demand deposits to total deposits. Non-interest bearing demand deposits accounted for 26.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2013 , compared with 25.8% at June 30, 2012 .

The weighted average cost of FHLB advances for the second quarter of 2013 was 1.16% , a decrease of 79 basis points from 1.95% for the same period of 2012. The decrease was attributable to decreases in FHLB advance rates, which was partially offset by the decline in the amortization of premiums on FHLB advances assumed in acquisitions, as summarized in the following table.

Excluding amortization of premiums on FHLB advances assumed in acquisitions, the weighted average cost of FHLB advances decreased to 1.25% for the second quarter of 2013 from 3.08% for the same period of 2012, reflecting the addition of $415.0 million in new FHLB advances at an average rate of 0.59%, which was substantially lower than the weighted average rate paid on matured borrowings. The weighted average original maturity of the new borrowings was 2.10 years. In addition, a total of $364.1 million of FHLB advances, with weighted average rates of 1.13%, matured over the past twelve months.

Changes in net interest income are a function of changes in interest rates and volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table sets forth information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. The total change for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities is segmented into the change attributable to variations in volume (changes in volume multiplied by the old rate) and the change attributable to variations in interest rates (changes in rates multiplied by the old volume). Nonaccrual loans are included in average loans used to compute this table.

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 second quarter of 2013 was $800 thousand, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 89.86%, from $7.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due an overall reduction in quantitative reserves as a result of decreasing historical loss rates. Net charge-offs decreased to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , compared to $4.0 million for the same period last year.
The provision for loan losses for the six months period ended June 30, 2013 was $8.3 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 15.09%, from $9.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due an overall reduction in quantitative reserves as a result of decreasing historical loss rates. This overall decrease was offset by the addition of a new specific reserve of $5.1 million related to a TDR of an industrial warehouse loan in the six months period ended June 30, 2013. Net charge-offs decreased to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , compared to $6.2 million for the same period last year.
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.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest 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.
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2013 was $10.6 million , compared to $10.2 million for the same quarter of 2012, an increase of $0.4 million , or 3.9% . The increase was principally due to increases in loan servicing fees, net and net gains on sales of SBA loans. These increases were caused primarily by an increase in the volume of SBA loans sales, to $33.8 million during three months ended June 30, 2013 from $27.0 million during the same period last year. The increases in non-interest income were partially offset by decreases in service fees on deposit accounts and a decrease in international service fees.
Non-interest income for the six months ended 2013 was $20.6 million , compared to $21.9 million for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $1.3 million , or 6.0 % . The decrease was principally due to a decrease in net gains on sales of securities available for sale and a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts. The Company posted a net gain of $816 thousand from the sale a Trust Preferred security, which had been marked to market in a prior period, during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This compares with none in the same reporting period of 2013. Service fees on deposit accounts decreased primarily due to a decrease in non-sufficient funds charges of $590 thousand.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2013 was $34.4 million , an increase of $3.4 million , or 10.8% , from $31.1 million for the same period of 2012. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $1.6 million due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, which increased to 742 at June 30, 2013 from 653 at June 30, 2012 partially as a result of the PIB acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2013. Occupancy expense and furniture and equipment increased by a total of $603 thousand principally due to increased rental commitments during the period and due to increased depreciation expense for software and hardware resulting from recent equipment upgrades and purchases. The FDIC assessment for the second quarter of 2013 increased by $807 thousand. Professional fees increased by $374 thousand due to additional legal services during the quarter. Merger and integration expenses decreased by $963 thousand, as the Company incurred greater salaries and benefits expenses and professional service fees related to the merger with Center Financial compared to the acquisition of PIB.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended of 2013 was $67.7 million , an increase of $6.2 million , or 10.1% , from $61.5 million for the same period of 2012. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $3.8 million due to one-time costs incurrred as part of a management transition and an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees. Occupancy expense and furniture and equipment increased by a total of $968 thousand principally due to increased rental commitments during the period and due to increased depreciation expense for software and hard resulting recent equipment upgrades and purchases. Credit related expenses decreased by $552 thousand primarily due to a decrease of $614 thousand in valuation expenses for loans held for sale. Professional fees increased by $1.1 million due to additional accounting services and consulting services for the Company's information systems. Merger and integration expenses decreased by $1.4 million, as the Company incurred greater salaries and benefits expenses and professional service fees related to the merger with Center Financial compared to the acquisition of PIB.

Financial Condition
At June 30, 2013 , our total assets were $5.86 billion , an increase of $222.4 million from $5.64 billion at December 31, 2012. As previously discussed, the increase was principally due to a $221.9 million increase in loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses and a $20.8 million increase in securities available for sale. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $16.6 million. The increase in total assets was funded by a $192.8 million increase in deposits, a $817 thousand increase in FHLB advances and net income of $40.1 million.
Investment Securities Portfolio
As of June 30, 2013 , we had $725.2 million in available for sale securities, compared to $704.4 million at December 31, 2012. The net unrealized loss on the available for sale securities at June 30, 2013 was $8.0 million, compared to a net unrealized gain on such securities of $15.4 million at December 31, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , $148.0 million in securities were purchased, $101.6 million in mortgage related securities were paid down, and $6.6 million in securities were sold. We recognized net gains of $54 thousand on the securities that were sold. We sold a $1.0 million corporate trust preferred security and recognized a gain of $816 thousand during the same period of last year. 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 4.54 years and 3.26 years at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. The weighted average life (the weighted average of the times of the principal repayments) of the available for sale securities was 5.11 years and 3.5 years at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.
Loan Portfolio
As of June 30, 2013 , gross loans outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs and excluding loans held for sale, was $4.52 billion , an increase of $217.1 million from $4.30 billion at December 31, 2012. Total loan originations during the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $208.0 million, including SBA loan originations of $42.7 million. Of the $42.7 million in SBA loan originations, $38.9 million was included as additions to loans held for sale during the period.

We normally do not extend lines of credit or make loan commitments to business customers for periods in excess of one year. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for providing loan facilities to our customers. We perform annual reviews of such commitments prior to renewal.

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). The Acquired Loans were further segregated between Credit Impaired Loans (loans with credit deterioration at the time they were acquired and accounted for under ASC 310-30) and performing loans (loans that were pass graded at the time they were acquired). The activity in the ALLL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:

We believe the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2013 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 June 30, 2013 , deposits increased $192.8 million, or 4.40%, to $4.58 billion from $4.38 billion at December 31, 2012 . The net increase in deposits is primarily due to the PIB acquisition during the first quarter of 2013 in which we assumed $143.7 million in deposits. Interest-bearing demand deposits, including money market and Super Now accounts, totaled $1.44 billion at June 30, 2013 , an increase of $14.6 million from $1.43 billion at December 31, 2012.
At June 30, 2013 , 26% of total deposits were non-interest bearing demand deposits, 42% were time deposits and 32% were interest bearing demand and savings deposits. By comparison, at December 31, 2012, 27% of total deposits were non-interest bearing demand deposits, 40% were time deposits, and 33% were interest bearing demand and savings deposits.
At June 30, 2013 , we had $301.7 million in brokered deposits and $300.0 million in California State Treasurer deposits, compared to $307.2 million and $300.0 million of such deposits at December 31, 2012, respectively. The California State Treasurer deposits had three-month maturities with a weighted average interest rate of 0.09% at June 30, 2013 and were

67


collateralized with securities with a carrying value of $366.6 million . The weighted average interest rate for wholesale deposits was 0.33% at June 30, 2013 .

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 June 30, 2013 , we had $421.5 million of FHLB advances with average remaining maturities of 2.9 years, compared to $420.7 million with average remaining maturities of 2.6 years at December 31, 2012. The weighted average rate, including acquisition accounting adjustments, was 1.16% and 1.31% at June 30, 2013 and at December 31, 2012, respectively.
At June 30, 2013 , five wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts ("Trusts") established by us had issued $46 million of pooled trust preferred securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”). 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. Further information regarding our financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk can be found in Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”.

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 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 $ 781.0 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $ 751.1 million at December 31, 2012.
The federal banking agencies 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 regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier I capital to average total assets, 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 June 30, 2013 , our Tier I capital, defined as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets, plus proceeds from the trust preferred securities (subject to limitations), was $728.8 million , compared to $688.4 million at December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $40.4 million, or 5.54%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in additional paid-in capital from the net income during the six months period of $40.1 million . At June 30, 2013 , the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 16.14% and the Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 14.89% . The Tier I leverage capital ratio was 12.61% .
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 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

69


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 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.
A t June 30, 2013 , our total borrowing capacity from the FHLB was $1.59 billion , of which $1.17 billion was unused and available to borrow. At June 30, 2013 , our total borrowing capacity from the FRB was $370.6 million, of which $370.6 million was unused and available to borrow. In addition to these lines, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalent, 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 $683.2 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $661.3 million at December 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold were $ 296.3 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $312.9 million at December 31, 2012. 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 improve 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 non-interest expense, and enhancing non-interest 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 June 30, 2013 , 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.

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 Company’s business or changes in business strategy the Company might make in reaction to changes in the interest rate environment.
