Forward-looking Statements
When used in this report and in public stockholder communications, in other documents of Banc of California, Inc. (the Company, we, us and our) filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” “guidance” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenue, expense or earnings projections, or other financial items. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following:
i.
risks that the Company’s merger and acquisition transactions may disrupt current plans and operations and lead to difficulties in customer and employee retention, risks that the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to these transactions could be significantly higher than anticipated and risks that the expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits of these transactions might not be realized to the extent anticipated, within the anticipated timetables, or at all;
ii.
risks that funds obtained from capital raising activities will not be utilized efficiently or effectively;
iii.
a worsening of current economic conditions, as well as turmoil in the financial markets;
iv.
the credit risks of lending activities, which may be affected by deterioration in real estate markets and the financial condition of borrowers, may lead to increased loan and lease delinquencies, losses and nonperforming assets in our loan and lease portfolio, and may result in our allowance for loan and lease losses not being adequate to cover actual losses and require us to materially increase our loan and lease loss reserves;
v.
the quality, credit and composition of our securities portfolio;
vi.
changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, or in financial markets;
vii.
continuation of or changes in the historically low short-term interest rate environment, changes in the levels of general interest rates, volatility in the interest rate environment, the relative differences between short- and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, and our net interest margin and funding sources;
viii.
fluctuations in the demand for loans and leases, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in commercial and residential real estate values in our market area;
ix.
results of examinations of us by regulatory authorities and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit our business activities, require us to change our business mix, increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, write-down asset values, or increase our capital levels, or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;
x.
legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including changes in regulatory capital or other rules and changes that could result from our growth to over $10 billion in total assets;
xi.
our ability to control operating costs and expenses;
xii.
staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges;
xiii.
errors in estimates of the fair values of certain of our assets, which may result in significant declines in valuation;
xiv.
the network and computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach;
xv.
our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team;
xvi.
costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments;
xvii.
increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;
xviii.
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits;
xix.
adverse changes in the securities markets;
xx.
earthquake, fire or other natural disasters affecting the condition of real estate collateral;
xxi.
the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions;
xxii.
inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;
xxiii.
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board or their application to our business, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods;

BANC OF CALIFORNIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2016
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banc of California, Inc. (collectively, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company, we, us and our) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Banc of California, National Association (the Bank) as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
and for the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
. On January 22, 2016, PTB Property Holding, LLC (PTB), which was a subsidiary of the Company, was dissolved. PTB was a California limited liability company originally formed in 2014, with the Company as its sole managing member, to hold real estate, cash, and fixed income securities transferred to it by the Company. The Company also sold another subsidiary, The Palisades Group, on May 5, 2016. The Company originally acquired the Palisades Group, a Delaware limited liability company, on September 10, 2013, which provided financial advisory services with respect to the purchase, sale, and management of single family residential (SFR) mortgage loans. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its then wholly owned subsidiaries.
Nature of Operations:
Banc of California, Inc. is a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, headquartered in Irvine, California and incorporated under the laws of Maryland. Banc of California, Inc.'s assets primarily consist of the outstanding stock of the Bank.
Banc of California, Inc. is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and the Bank operates under a national bank charter issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), its primary regulator. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, and maintains insurance on deposit accounts with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
The Bank had
38
banking offices, serving Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Barbara counties in California, and
63
loan production offices, in California, Arizona, Oregon, Virginia, Colorado, Idaho, and Nevada, as of
June 30, 2016
.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are based upon U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. The Company has not made any significant changes in its critical accounting policies from those disclosed in its
2015
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Refer to Accounting Pronouncements below for discussion of accounting pronouncements adopted in
2016
.
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by GAAP are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
filed by the Company with the SEC. The
December 31, 2015
balance sheet presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP.
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of operations for the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), reserve for loss on repurchased loans, servicing rights, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, derivative instruments, purchased credit impaired (PCI) loan discount accretion, and the fair value measurement of financial instruments are particularly subject to change and any such change could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes:
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 the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of
June 30, 2016
, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of
$7.3 million
, with
no
valuation
10
Table of Contents
allowance and as of
December 31, 2015
, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of
$11.3 million
, with
no
valuation allowance. See Note 11 for additional information.
Affordable Housing Fund Investment:
The Company elected the proportional amortization method retrospectively for all periods presented during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 in accordance with Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects," which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 323-720 to permit entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The Company invests in qualified affordable housing projects (affordable housing fund investments). Under the proportional amortization method, the Company amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received, and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit).
Earnings Per Common Share:
Net income allocated to common stockholders is computed by subtracting income allocated to participating securities, participating securities dividends and preferred stock dividends from net income. Participating securities are instruments granted in share-based payment transactions that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents, which includes the Stock Appreciation Rights to the extent they confer dividend equivalent rights, as described under “Stock Appreciation Rights” in Note 14. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the minimum number of shares issuable under purchase contracts relating to the tangible equity units, as described under "Tangible Equity Units" in Note 15. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of the restricted stock units, the potentially issuable shares in excess of the minimum under purchase contracts relating to the tangible equity units, outstanding stock options, and warrants to purchase common stock. For information regarding the tangible equity units, see Notes 10 and 15.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
During the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
, the following pronouncements applicable to the Company were adopted:
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.
”
The ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Adoption of the new guidance has not had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
The following are recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company that have not yet been adopted:
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “
Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
.”
This Update amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The ASU requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; it simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments by requiring a qualitative assessment; it eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose methods and assumptions for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the statement of financial position; it requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability; it requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category; and certain other requirements. ASU 2016-01 becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted by public business entities, as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “
Leases
.”
This Update requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases, as well as defines classification criteria for distinguishing between financing leases and operating leases. For financing leases, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, recognize interest on the lease liability in the statement of comprehensive income, and classify the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and payments of interest within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, recognize a single lease cost calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over lease term on a straight line basis, and classify all cash payments as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged, but does align the transfer of control principle for a sale in Topic 606 to leases. For example, whether a lease is similar to a sale
11
Table of Contents
of the underlying asset depends on whether the lessee, in effect, obtains control of the underlying asset as a result of the lease. For public business entities, the amendments to this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
”
This Update amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2016-08 clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is effective for public business entities in annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718).
”
This Update was issued as a part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, and intends to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The ASU changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies, income statement recognition, cash flow classification, forfeitures, and tax withholding requirements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities in annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period provided the entire ASU is adopted. If an entity early adopts the ASU in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
”
This Update amends the guidance in ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, and clarifies identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance. This Update better articulates the principle for determining whether promises to transfer goods or services are separately identifiable, which is utilized in identifying performance obligations in a contract. Additionally, the amendments in this Update are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is effective for public business entities in annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.
”
This Update amends the guidance in ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, and clarifies the collectability criterion, accounting policy elections, noncash consideration, satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, completed contracts, and disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is effective for public business entities in annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).
"
This Update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820-10 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 topic 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 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 a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Securities Available-for-Sale:
The fair values of securities available-for-sale are generally determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, the Company primarily employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. The Company employs procedures to monitor the pricing service's assumptions and establishes processes to challenge the pricing service's valuations that appear unusual or unexpected. Level 2 securities include Small Business Administration (SBA) loan pool securities, U.S. government sponsored entity (GSE) and agency securities, private label residential mortgage-backed securities, agency residential mortgage-backed securities, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and non-agency corporate bonds. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the securities are classified as Level 3 and reliance is placed upon internally developed models, and management judgment and evaluation for valuation. The Company had no securities available-for-sale classified as Level 3 at
June 30, 2016
or
December 31, 2015
.
Loans Held-for-Sale, Carried at Fair Value:
The fair value of loans held-for-sale is based on commitments outstanding from investors as well as what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics, except for loans that are repurchased out of Ginnie Mae loan pools that become severely delinquent which are valued based on an internal model that estimates the expected loss the Company will incur on these loans. Therefore, loans held-for-sale subjected to recurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 2 or, in the case of loans repurchased out of Ginnie Mae loan pools, Level 3. The fair value includes the servicing value of the loans as well as any accrued interest.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
:
Derivative Instruments Related to Mortgage Banking Activities.
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with prospective residential mortgage borrowers. These commitments are carried at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying mortgage loans which are based on observable market data. The Company adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. These commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures, as the valuations are based on market observable inputs. The Company hedges the risk of the overall change in the fair value of loan commitments to borrowers by selling forward contracts on securities of GSEs. These forward settling contracts are classified as Level 2, as valuations are based on market observable inputs.
Interest Rate Swaps and Caps
. The Company has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge against variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk caused by changes in the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) benchmark interest rate on the Company’s ongoing LIBOR-based variable rate deposits and other borrowings. The Company also offers interest rate swaps and caps products to certain loan customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans. The Company originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap with the customer. The Company also enters into an offsetting swap with a correspondent bank. These back-to-back agreements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. The fair value of these
14
Table of Contents
derivatives is based on a discounted cash flow approach. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the fair value of these derivative contracts, the valuation of interest rate swaps is classified as Level 2.
Mortgage Servicing Rights:
The Company retains servicing on some of its mortgage loans sold and elected the fair value option for valuation of these mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). The value is based on a third party provider that calculates the present value of the expected net servicing income from the portfolio based on key factors that include interest rates, prepayment assumptions, discount rate and estimated cash flows. Because of the significance of unobservable inputs, these servicing rights are classified as Level 3.

December 31, 2015
included an expected loss rate of
1.63 percent

Table of Contents
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
Securities Held-to-Maturity:
Investment securities that the Company has the ability and the intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost. The fair values of securities held-to-maturity are generally determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments (Level 2). The Company employs procedures to monitor the pricing service's assumptions and establishes processes to challenge the pricing service's valuations that appear unusual or unexpected. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the securities are classified as Level 3 and reliance is placed upon internally developed models, and management judgment and evaluation for valuation. Only securities held-to-maturity with other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) are considered to be carried at fair value. The Company did not have any OTTI on securities held-to-maturity at
June 30, 2016
.
Impaired Loans and Leases:
The fair value of impaired loans and leases with specific allocations of the ALLL based on collateral values is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and 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 a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Loans Held-for-Sale, Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value:
The Company records non-conforming jumbo mortgage loans held-for-sale at the lower of cost or fair value, on an aggregate basis. The Company obtains fair values from a third party independent valuation service provider. Loans held-for-sale accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost, on an aggregate basis, and are classified as Level 2.
SBA Servicing Assets:
SBA servicing assets represent the value associated with servicing SBA loans that have been sold. The fair value for SBA servicing assets is determined through discounted cash flow analysis and utilizes discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions as inputs. All of these assumptions require a significant degree of management estimation and judgment. The fair market valuation is performed on a quarterly basis for SBA servicing assets. SBA servicing assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or market value and considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost and are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned Assets:
Other real estate owned assets (OREO) are recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the time of foreclosure. The fair value of other real estate owned assets is generally based on recent real estate appraisals adjusted for estimated selling costs. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and 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 may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Only OREO with a valuation allowance are considered to be carried at fair value. The Company recorded valuation allowance expense for OREO of
$9 thousand
and
$0
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively, and
$9 thousand
and
$22 thousand
for the six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively, in All Other Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Alternative Investments
(Affordable Housing Fund Investment, SBIC, and Other Investment):
The Company generally accounts for its percentage ownership of alternative investment funds at cost, subject to impairment testing. These are non-public investments that cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investment is distributed as the underlying investments are liquidated, which generally takes
10 years
. There are currently no plans to sell any of these investments prior to their liquidation. The alternative investments carried at cost are considered to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when there is impairment. The Company had unfunded commitments of
$349 thousand
,
$13.2 million
, and
$2.0 million
for Affordable House Fund Investment, SBIC, and Other Investments at
June 30, 2016
, respectively. The Company recorded
no
impairment on these investments.

Table of Contents
The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Time Deposits in Financial Institutions:
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits in financial institutions approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments (Level 1).
Federal Home Loan Bank and Other Bank Stock:
Federal Home Loan Bank and other bank stock is recorded at cost. Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted to member banks, and purchases and sales of these securities are at par value with the issuer (Level 2).
Securities Held-to-Maturity:
Investment securities that the Company has the ability and the intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost. The fair values of securities held-to-maturity are generally determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments (Level 2). The Company employs procedures to monitor the pricing service's assumptions and establishes processes to challenge the pricing service's valuations that appear unusual or unexpected. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the securities are classified as Level 3 and reliance is placed upon internally developed models, and management judgment and evaluation for valuation.
Loans and Leases Receivable, Net of ALLL:
The fair value of loans and leases receivable is estimated based on the discounted cash flow approach. The discount rate was derived from the associated yield curve plus spreads and reflects the rates offered by the Bank for loans with similar financial characteristics. Yield curves are constructed by product and payment types. These rates could be different from what other financial institutions could offer for these loans. Additionally, the fair value of our loans may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such loans and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize (Level 3).
Accrued Interest Receivable:
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value (Level 1).
Deposits:
The fair value of deposits is estimated based on discounted cash flows. The cash flows for non-maturity deposits, including savings accounts and money market checking, are estimated based on their historical decaying experiences. The discount rate used for fair valuation is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on comparable deposits as to amount and term (Level 3).
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank:
The fair values of advances from FHLB are estimated based on the discounted cash flows approach. The discount rate was derived from the current market rates for borrowings with similar remaining maturities (Level 2).
Securities sold under repurchase agreements:
The carrying amount of securities sold under repurchase agreements approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments as all outstanding securities sold under repurchase agreements have original maturities of 30 days or less (Level 2).
Long Term Debt:
Fair value of long term debt is determined by observable data such as market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments (Level 2).
Accrued Interest Payable:
The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value (Level 1).

The following table presents amortized cost and fair value of the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment securities portfolio by expected maturity. In the case of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and SBA loan pool securities, expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers generally have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. For that reason, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and SBA loan pool securities are not included in the maturity categories.

or
2015
.
At
June 30, 2016
, the Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio consisted of

Table of Contents
For corporate bonds held-to-maturity, unrealized losses at
June 30, 2016
were lower than unrealized losses at December 31, 2015 due to lower market interest rates and tighter credit spreads at
June 30, 2016
and improvement in the economic sectors for the bond issuers. For collateralized loan obligations, unrealized losses at
June 30, 2016
were higher than unrealized losses at December 31, 2015 due to wider pricing spreads. For agency mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale, unrealized losses at
June 30, 2016
were lower than unrealized losses at December 31, 2015 due to lower market interest rates at
June 30, 2016
.
The Company monitors its securities portfolio to ensure it has adequate credit support. As of
June 30, 2016
, the Company believes there is no OTTI and did not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The Company considers the lowest credit rating for identification of potential OTTI. As of
June 30, 2016
, all of the Company's investment securities in an unrealized loss position received an investment grade credit rating.

Green Loans
Green Loans are SFR first and second mortgage lines of credit with a linked checking account that allows all types of deposits and withdrawals to be performed. The loans are generally interest only with a
15
year-balloon payment due at maturity. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, Green Loans totaled
$103.9 million
and
$109.8 million
, respectively. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
$9.9 million
and
$10.1 million
, respectively, of the Company’s Green Loans were non-performing. As a result of their unique payment feature, Green Loans possess higher credit risk due to the potential for negative amortization; however, management believes the risk is mitigated through the Company’s loan terms and underwriting standards, including its policies on loan-to-value (LTV) ratios and the Company’s contractual ability to curtail loans when the value of the underlying collateral declines. The Company discontinued origination of the Green Loan products in 2011.
Interest Only Loans
Interest only loans are primarily SFR first mortgage loans with payment features that allow interest only payments in initial periods before converting to a fully amortizing loan. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, interest only loans totaled
$727.5 million
and
$664.5 million
, respectively. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
$2.7 million
and
$4.6 million
of the interest only loans were non-performing, respectively.
Loans with the Potential for Negative Amortization
Negative amortization loans other than Green Loans totaled
$11.2 million
and
$11.6 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The Company discontinued origination of negative amortization loans in 2007. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
none
of the loans that had the potential for negative amortization were non-performing. These loans pose a potentially higher credit risk because of the lack of principal amortization and potential for negative amortization; however, management believes the risk is mitigated through the loan terms and underwriting standards, including the Company’s policies on LTV ratios.
Risk Management of Non-Traditional Mortgages
The Company has determined that significant performance indicators for NTMs are LTV ratios and Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores. Accordingly, the Company manages credit risk in the NTM portfolio through periodic review of the loan portfolio that includes refreshing FICO scores on the Green Loans and other home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), as needed in conjunction with portfolio management, and ordering third party automated valuation models (AVMs). The loan review is designed to provide a method of identifying borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulty before they actually fail to make a loan payment. Upon receipt of the updated FICO scores, an exception report is run to identify loans with a decrease in FICO score of
10 percent
or more and/or a resulting FICO score of 620 or less. The loans are then further analyzed to determine if the risk rating should be downgraded, which will increase the reserves the Company will establish for potential losses. A report of the periodic loan review is published and regularly monitored.
24
Table of Contents
As these loans are revolving lines of credit, the Company, based on the loan agreement and loan covenants of the particular loan, as well as applicable rules and regulations, could suspend the borrowing privileges or reduce the credit limit at any time the Company reasonably believes that the borrower will be unable to fulfill their repayment obligations under the agreement or certain other conditions are met. In many cases, the decrease in FICO score is the first indication that the borrower may have difficulty in making their future payment obligations.
The Company proactively manages the NTM portfolio by performing detailed analyses on the portfolio. The Company’s Internal Asset Review Committee (IARC) conducts meetings on at least a quarterly basis to review the loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful and determines whether a suspension or reduction in credit limit is warranted. If a line has been suspended and the borrower would like to have their credit privileges reinstated, they would need to provide updated financials showing their ability to meet their payment obligations.
On the interest only loans, the Company projects future payment changes to determine if there will be a material increase in the required payment and then monitors the loans for possible delinquency. Individual loans are monitored for possible downgrading of risk rating.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The Company has an established credit risk management process that includes regular management review of the loan and lease portfolio to identify problem loans and leases. During the ordinary course of business, management becomes aware of borrowers and lessees that may not be able to meet the contractual requirements of the loan and lease agreements. Such loans and leases are subject to increased monitoring. Consideration is given to placing the loan or lease on non-accrual status, assessing the need for additional ALLL, and partial or full charge-off. The Company maintains the ALLL at a level that is considered adequate to cover the estimated and known inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio.
The Company also maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that is considered adequate to cover the estimated and known inherent risks. The probability of usage of the unfunded loan commitments and credit risk factors determined based on the outstanding loan balance of the same customer or outstanding loans that share similar credit risk exposure are used to determine the adequacy of the reserve. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was
$1.9 million
and
$2.1 million
, respectively.
The credit risk monitoring system is designed to identify impaired and potential problem loans, and to permit periodic evaluation of impairment and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses in a timely manner. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Bank has adopted a credit policy that includes a credit review and control system which it believes should be effective in ensuring that the Company maintains an adequate allowance for credit losses. The Board of Directors provides oversight and guidance for management’s allowance evaluation process, including quarterly valuations, and consideration of management’s determination of whether the allowance is appropriate to absorb losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The determination of the amount of the ALLL and the provision for loan and lease losses is based on management’s current judgment about the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio and considers known relevant internal and external factors that affect collectability when determining the appropriate level for the ALLL. Additions to the ALLL are made by charges to the provision for loan and lease losses. Identified credit exposures that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the ALLL. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts, if any, are credited to the ALLL.
The following table presents a summary of activity in the ALLL for the periods indicated:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
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 of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
For the Company’s new TDRs, there were
2
modifications through interest rate changes and extension of maturities for loans with an aggregate principal of
$401 thousand
and
1
modification through interest rate change for a loan with a principal of
$69 thousand
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
. For the six months ended
June 30, 2016
, there were
17

Table of Contents
Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company performs historical loss analysis that is combined with a comprehensive loan or lease to value analysis to analyze the associated risks in the current loan and lease portfolio. The Company analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases as to credit risk. This analysis includes all loans and leases delinquent over
60 days
and non-homogeneous loans and leases such as commercial and commercial real estate loans and leases. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass
: Loans and leases classified as pass are in compliance in all respects with the Bank’s credit policy and regulatory requirements, and do not exhibit any potential or defined weakness as defined under “Special Mention”, “Substandard” or “Doubtful/Loss”.
Special Mention
: Loans and leases 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 lease or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard
: Loans and leases 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 and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation 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 and leases classified as doubtful/loss have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Not-Rated
: When accrual of income on a pool of PCI loans with common risk characteristics is appropriate in accordance with ASC 310-30, individual loans in those pools are not risk-rated. The credit criteria evaluated are FICO scores, LTV ratios, delinquency, and actual cash flows versus expected cash flows of the loan pools.
Loans and leases not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans and leases.

NOTE 6 – SERVICING RIGHTS
The Company retains MSRs from certain of its sales of residential mortgage loans. MSRs on residential mortgage loans are reported at fair value. Income earned by the Company on its MSRs is derived primarily from contractually specified mortgage servicing fees and late fees, net of curtailment costs and third party subservicing costs. The Company retains servicing rights in connection with its SBA loan operations, which are measured using the amortization method.
Income (loss) from servicing rights was
$(3.3) million
and
$2.0 million
, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, and
$(8.6) million
and
$1.6 million
, respectively, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
. The Company recognized losses on the fair value and runoff of servicing rights of
$8.6 million
and
$666 thousand
, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, and
$18.7 million
and
$3.1 million
, respectively, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
. These decreases were partially offset by increases in servicing fees. The Company recognized servicing fees of
$5.2 million
and
$2.7 million
, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, and
$10.1 million
and
$4.7 million
, respectively, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
. The decrease in fair value of servicing rights was due to generally lower interest rates and the increase in servicing fees was due to the increase in unpaid principal balance of loans sold with servicing retained. These amounts are reported in Loan Servicing Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents a composition of servicing rights as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
At
June 30, 2016
, the Company had goodwill of
$39.2 million
related to the following acquisitions: Banco Popular North America's Southern California branches (BPNA branches), RenovationReady, CS Financial, Inc. (CS Financial), The Private Bank of California (PBOC), and Beach Business Bank (Beach).
The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of August 31 (the Measurement Date). At the Measurement Date, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3, evaluates, based on the weight of evidence, the significance of all qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The assessment of qualitative factors at the most recent Measurement Date indicated that it was not more likely than not that impairment existed; as a result, no further testing was performed.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company wrote off a portion of core deposit intangibles on non-interest bearing demand deposits and money market accounts acquired through the acquisition of BPNA branches of
$258 thousand
, as these deposits were transferred in connection with the branch sale to AUB.
Core deposit intangibles are amortized over their useful lives ranging from
4
to
10 years
. As of
June 30, 2016
, the weighted average remaining amortization period for core deposit intangibles was approximately
7.0 years
. Customer relationship intangible, related to the RenovationReady acquisition, is amortized over its useful life of
5.0 years
. As of
June 30, 2016
, the remaining amortization period for customer relationship intangible was approximately
2.6 years
. Trade name intangibles, related to the RenovationReady and CS Financial acquisitions, have indefinite useful lives. The following table presents a summary of other intangible assets as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, income tax expense was
$18.3 million
and
$11.5 million
, respectively, and the effective tax rate was
40.8 percent
and
41.9 percent
, respectively. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, income tax expense was
$31.5 million
and
$21.0 million
, respectively, and the effective tax rate was
40.6 percent
and
42.4 percent
, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased for the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
due to the accrual and settlement of an amount related to the Internal Revenue Service's examination of the 2010 and 2011 tax years as well as a higher state income tax rate during the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2015
.
The Company accounts for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between the amounts for financial reporting purposes and tax basis of its assets and liabilities. 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 will continue to evaluate both positive and negative evidence on a quarterly basis, 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, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, management determined that it was more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets would be realized. Therefore,
no
valuation allowance was provided against the net deferred tax assets of
$7.3 million
and
$11.3 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively.
ASC 740-10-25 relates to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a threshold and a measurement process for recognizing in the financial statements a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company had
no
unrecognized tax benefits at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the Company had
no
accrued interests or penalties. In the event the Company is assessed interest and/or penalties by federal or state tax authorities, such amounts will be classified in the consolidated financial statements as income tax expense.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to the assessment of U.S. federal income tax for years before 2012.The statute of limitations for the assessment of California Franchise taxes has expired for tax years before 2011 (other state income and franchise tax statutes of limitations vary by state).
ASU 2014-01 was adopted effective January 1, 2015. Under this standard, amortization of qualified low income housing investments is reported within income tax expense. See Note 1 for additional information.

NOTE 13 – RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative instruments and other risk management techniques to reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates in accordance with its risk management policies. The Company utilizes forward contracts and investor commitments to economically hedge mortgage banking products and may from time to time use interest rate swaps as hedges against certain liabilities.
Derivative Instruments Related to Mortgage Banking Activities:
In connection with mortgage banking activities, if interest rates increase, the value of the Company’s loan commitments to borrowers and fixed rate mortgage loans held-for-sale are adversely impacted. The Company attempts to economically hedge the risk of the overall change in the fair value of loan commitments to borrowers and mortgage loans held-for-sale by selling forward contracts on securities with government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) and investors in loans. Forward contracts on securities of GSEs and loan commitments to borrowers are non-designated derivative instruments and the gains and losses resulting from these derivative instruments are
45
Table of Contents
included in Net Revenue on Mortgage Banking Activities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of resulting derivative assets and liabilities are included in Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
The net gains (losses) relating to these derivative instruments used for mortgage banking activities, which were included in Net Revenue on Mortgage Banking Activities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, were
$(7.2) million
and
$13 thousand
, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, and
$(13.6) million
and
$(2.7) million
, respectively, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
.
Interest Rate Swaps on Deposits and Other Borrowings:
On September 30, 2013 and January 30, 2015, the Company entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest-rate swap contracts for the notional amounts of
$50.0 million
and
$25.0 million
, respectively, with maturity dates of
September 27, 2018
and
January 30, 2022
, respectively. These swap contracts were entered into with institutional counterparties to hedge against variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate on the Company’s ongoing LIBOR based variable rate deposits and borrowings. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company terminated the interest rate swaps of
$50.0 million
that were entered on September 30, 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company exited the underlying hedged items related to interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. As a result, the Company discontinued hedge accounting related to these interest rate swaps, and reclassified the fair value of the derivatives from AOCI into earnings. At September 30, 2015, the fair value of these derivative instruments discontinued from hedge accounting was
$918 thousand
, which was reclassified into earnings. During the six months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company recognized a total loss of
$767 thousand
related to these derivatives in Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Interest Rate Swaps and Caps on Loans:
The Company offers interest rate swap and cap products to certain loan customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans. The Company originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap with the customer. The Company also enters into an offsetting swap with a correspondent bank. These back-to-back agreements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The net cash flow for the Company is equal to the interest income received from a variable rate loan originated with the customer. These swaps and caps are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value in Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The changes in fair value are recorded in Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
, changes in fair value recorded through Other Income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were insignificant.
The following table presents the amount and market value of derivative instruments included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated. Note 3 contains further disclosures pertaining to the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
The Company also has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to certain employees, officers and directors. The restricted stock awards and units are valued at the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of award. The restricted stock awards and units fully vest after a specified period (generally ranging from
one
to
five years
) of continued service from the date of grant plus, in some cases, the satisfaction of performance conditions. The Company recognizes an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the restricted stock, generally when vested or, in the case of restricted stock units, when settled.

Stock Appreciation Rights
On August 21, 2012, the Company granted to its chief executive officer a
ten
-year stock appreciation right (SAR) with respect to
500,000
shares (Initial SAR) of the Company’s common stock with a base price of
$12.12
per share. with
one-third
of the Initial SAR being vested on the grant date and the remaining amount vesting over a period of
2 years
. The Initial SAR entitles the chief executive officer to dividend equivalent rights and originally contained an anti-dilution provision pursuant to which additional SARs (Additional SARs) were issued to the chief executive officer upon certain stock issuances by the Company, as described below. On March 24, 2016, concurrent with entering into a new employment agreement with the Company, the chief executive officer entered into a letter agreement that eliminated this anti-dilution provision of the Initial SAR.
As described more fully in the SAR agreement, the original anti-dilution provision of the Initial SAR did not apply to certain issuances of the Company’s common stock for compensatory purposes, but did apply to certain other issuances of the Company’s common stock, including the issuances of common stock to raise capital. Pursuant to this anti-dilution provision, the Company issued Additional SARs to its chief executive officer with a base price determined as of each date of issuance, but otherwise with the same terms and conditions as the Initial SAR, except for an Additional SAR granted relating to a public offering of the Company’s tangible equity units (TEU) on May 21, 2014 that has different terms (Additional TEU SAR).
Regarding the Additional TEU SAR, the TEU contains a prepaid stock purchase contract (Purchase Contract) that can be settled in shares of the Company’s voting common stock based on a maximum settlement rate (subject to adjustment) and a minimum settlement rate (subject to adjustment) as more fully described under Note 15. The Additional TEU SAR was calculated using the initial maximum settlement rate and, therefore, the number of shares underlying the Additional TEU SAR are subject to adjustment and forfeiture if the aggregate number of shares of stock issued in settlement of any single Purchase Contract is less than the initial maximum settlement rate. Until the Additional TEU SAR vests in full on
May 15, 2017
or accelerates in vesting due to early settlement of a Purchase Contract at the holders' option, the Additional TEU SAR has no dividend equivalent rights and the shares underlying the Additional TEU SAR are subject to forfeiture.

On
November 1, 2010
, the Company issued warrants to TCW Shared Opportunity Fund V, L.P. for up to
240,000
shares of non-voting common stock at an original exercise price of
$11.00
per share, subject to certain adjustments to the number of shares underlying the warrants as well as certain adjustments to the warrant exercise price as applicable. These warrants were exercisable from the date of original issuance through
November 1, 2015
. On
August 3, 2015
, these warrants were exercised in full using a cashless (net) exercise, resulting in a net number of shares of non-voting common stock issued in the aggregate of
70,690
, which were immediately thereafter exchanged for an aggregate of
70,690
shares of voting common stock. Based on automatic adjustments to the original
$11.00
exercise price, the exercise price at the time of exercise was
$9.13
per share.
On
November 1, 2010
, the Company also issued warrants to COR Advisors LLC, an entity controlled by Steven A. Sugarman, who became a director of the Company on that date and later became President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, to purchase up to
1,395,000
shares of non-voting common stock at an exercise price of
$11.00
per share, subject to certain adjustments to the number of shares underlying the warrants as well as certain adjustments to the warrant exercise price as applicable. Subsequent to their original issuance, warrants for the right to purchase
960,000
shares of non-voting common stock were transferred to Mr. Sugarman and his spouse through a living trust, and warrants for the right to purchase
435,000
shares of non-voting common stock were transferred to Jeffrey T. Seabold, Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer of the Bank. These warrants vested in tranches, with each tranche being exercisable for
five
years after the tranche's vesting date. With respect to the warrants transferred to Mr. Sugarman,
50,000
shares vested on October 1, 2011 and the remainder vested in seven equal quarterly installments beginning January 1, 2012 and ending on July 1, 2013. With respect to the warrants transferred to Mr. Seabold,
95,000
shares vested on January 1, 2011;
130,000
shares vested on each of April 1 and July 1, 2011, and
80,000
shares vested on October 1, 2011.
On December 8, 2015, March 9, 2016, and June 17, 2016, Mr. Seabold exercised
95,000
,
130,000
, and
130,000
, respectively, of his warrants using a cashless (net) exercise, resulting in a net number of shares of non-voting common stock issued in the aggregate of
37,355
,
53,711
, and
70,775
, respectively. Based on automatic adjustments to the original
$11.00
exercise price, the exercise price at the time of exercise was
$9.04
,
$8.90
, and
$8.84
per share, respectively. As a result of these exercises, Mr. Seabold held warrants to purchase
80,000
shares of non-voting common stock as of June 30, 2016.
Under the terms of the respective warrant agreements, the warrants are exercisable for voting common stock in lieu of non-voting common stock following the transfer of the warrants in a widely dispersed offering or in other limited circumstances. Based on automatic adjustments to the original
$11.00
exercise price, the Company has determined that the exercise price for these warrants was
$8.84
per share as of
June 30, 2016
. The terms and issuance of the foregoing warrants were approved by the Company's stockholders at a special meeting held on October 25, 2010.

Tangible Equity Units
On
May 21, 2014
, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of
1,380,000
of its tangible equity units (TEUs), which included
180,000
TEUs issued to the underwriter upon the full exercise of its over-allotment option, resulting in net proceeds of
$65.0 million
. Each TEU is comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract (each, a Purchase Contract) and a junior subordinated amortizing note due May 15, 2017 issued by the Company (each, an Amortizing Note). Unless settled early at the holder’s option, each Purchase Contract will automatically settle and the Company will deliver a number of shares of its voting common stock based on the then-applicable market value of the voting common stock, ranging from an initial minimum settlement rate of
4.4456
shares per Purchase Contract (subject to adjustment) if the applicable market value is equal to or greater than
$11.247
per share to an initial maximum settlement rate of
5.1124
shares per Purchase Contract (subject to adjustment) if the applicable market value is less than or equal to
$9.78
per share.
From the first business day following the issuance of the TEUs to but excluding the third business day immediately preceding May 15, 2017, a holder of a Purchase Contract may settle its Purchase Contract early, and the Company will deliver to the holder
4.4456
shares of voting common stock. The holder also may elect to settle its Purchase Contract early in connection with a “fundamental change,” in which case the holder will receive a number of shares of voting common stock based on a fundamental change early settlement rate. The Company may elect to settle all Purchase Contracts early by delivering to each holder
5.1124
shares of voting common stock or, under certain circumstances, by delivering
4.4456
shares of voting common stock. As of
June 30, 2016
, a total of
1,330,754
Purchase Contracts had been settled early by their holders, resulting in the
51
Table of Contents
issuance by the Company of
5,915,988
shares of voting common stock. As of
June 30, 2016
,
49,246
Purchase Contracts remained outstanding.
Each Amortizing Note has an initial principal amount of
$10.604556
per Amortizing Note, bears interest at a rate of
7.50 percent
per annum and has a scheduled final installment payment date of May 15, 2017. On each August 15, November 15, February 15 and May 15, commencing on August 15, 2014, the Company will pay holders of Amortizing Notes equal quarterly cash installments of
$1.00
per Amortizing Note (or, in the case of the installment payment due on August 15, 2014,
$0.933333
per Amortizing Note) (such installments, the installment payments), which installment payments in the aggregate will be equivalent to a
8.00 percent
cash distribution per year with respect to each
$50.00
stated amount of TEUs. Each installment payment will constitute a payment of interest (at a rate of
7.50 percent
per annum) and a partial repayment of principal on each Amortizing Note. The Company has the right to defer installment payments at any time and from time to time, subject to certain restrictions, so long as such deferral period does not extend beyond
May 15, 2019
. If the Company elects to settle the Purchase Contracts early, the holders of the Amortizing Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Amortizing Notes. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the Amortizing Notes totaled
$5.2 million
and
$7.5 million
, respectively, net of unamortized discounts, and were included in Long Term Debt on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

In July 2013, the Federal banking regulators approved a final rule to implement the revised capital adequacy standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly called Basel III, and to address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act). The final rule strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, makes selected changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets, and adjusts the prompt corrective action thresholds. The Company and the Bank became subject to the new rule on January 1, 2015 and certain provisions of the new rule will be phased in through 2019.
The final rule:

Permits banking organizations that had less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, to include in Tier 1 capital trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock that were issued and included in Tier 1 capital prior to May 19, 2010, subject to a limit of 25 percent of Tier 1 capital elements, excluding any non-qualifying capital instruments and after all regulatory capital deductions and adjustments have been applied to Tier 1 capital.
•
Establishes new qualifying criteria for regulatory capital, including new limitations on the inclusion of deferred tax assets and mortgage servicing rights.
•
Requires a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent.
•
Increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio requirement from 4 percent to 6 percent.
•
Retains the minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio requirement of 8 percent.
•
Retains a minimum leverage ratio requirement of 4 percent.
•
Changes the prompt corrective action standards so that in order to be considered well-capitalized, a depository institution must have a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.5 percent (new), a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent (increased from 6 percent), a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10 percent (unchanged), and a leverage ratio of 5 percent (unchanged).

•
Retains the existing regulatory capital framework for one-to-four family residential mortgage exposures.
•
Permits banking organizations that are not subject to the advanced approaches rule, such as the Company and the Bank, to retain, through a one-time election, the existing treatment for most accumulated other comprehensive income, such that unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale will not affect regulatory capital amounts and ratios.
•
Implements a new capital conservation buffer requirement for a banking organization to maintain a common equity capital ratio more than 2.5 percent above the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total risk based capital ratios in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, and certain discretionary bonus payments. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 at 0.625 percent and will be fully phased in at 2.50 percent by January 1, 2019. A banking organization with a buffer of less than the required amount would be subject to increasingly stringent limitations on such distributions and payments as the buffer approaches zero. The new rule also generally prohibits a banking organization from making such distributions or payments during any quarter if its eligible retained income is negative and its capital conservation buffer ratio was 2.5 percent or less at the end of the previous quarter. The eligible retained income of a banking organization is defined as its net income for the four calendar quarters preceding the current calendar quarter, based on the organization’s quarterly regulatory reports, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income.
•
Increases capital requirements for past-due loans, high volatility commercial real estate exposures, and certain short term commitments and securitization exposures.
•
Expands the recognition of collateral and guarantors in determining risk-weighted assets.
•
Removes references to credit ratings consistent with the Dodd Frank Act and establishes due diligence requirements for securitization exposures.

NOTE 18 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Risk of credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk was as follows for the dates indicated:

NOTE 19 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company utilizes an internal reporting system to measure the performance of various operating segments within the Bank and the Company overall. The Company has identified
four
operating segments for purposes of management reporting: (i) Commercial Banking; (ii) Mortgage Banking; (iii) Financial Advisory; and (iv) Corporate/Other. Each of these four business divisions meets the criteria of an operating segment, as each segment engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses and its operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.
The principal business of the Commercial Banking segment consists of attracting deposits and investing these funds primarily in commercial, consumer and real estate secured loans. The principal business of the Mortgage Banking segment is originating conforming SFR loans and selling these loans in the secondary market. The principal business of the Financial Advisory segment was operated by The Palisades Group and provided services related to the purchase, sale and management of SFR mortgage loans. The Company sold all of its membership interests in The Palisades Group on May 5, 2016 and ceased Financial Advisory activities (see Note 2 for additional information). The Corporate/Other segment includes the holding company. The Corporate/Other segment engages in business activities through the sale of assets, other real estate owned, and loans held at the holding company and incurs interest expense on debt as well as non-interest expense for corporate related activities. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company developed a measurement method to allocate centrally incurred costs to its operating segments.
The Company allocates shared service costs within Commercial Banking noninterest expense, as well as Corporate/Other noninterest expense, to the respective operating segments. The cost allocation was done on a comparable basis. These allocations of centrally incurred costs resulted in a reduction of noninterest expense for Commercial Banking and Corporate/Other, in the amount of
$3.5 million
and
$3.7 million
, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and
$7.4 million
and
$7.2 million
, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The allocations reduced noninterest expense for Commercial Banking and Corporate/Other, in the amount of
$1.0 million
and
$4.2 million
, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and
$3.6 million
and
$6.2 million
, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, these allocations resulted in an increase of noninterest expense for Mortgage Banking and Financial Advisory, in the amount of
$7.1 million
and
$158 thousand
, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and
$13.8 million
and
$760 thousand
, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The allocation resulted in an increase of noninterest expense for Mortgage Banking and Financial Advisory, in the amount of
$4.7 million
and
$419 thousand
, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and
$9.1 million
and
$691 thousand
, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

NOTE 20 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
General.
The Bank has granted loans to certain officers and directors and their related interests. Loans outstanding to officers and directors and their related interests amounted to
$1.4 million
and
$236 thousand
at
June 30, 2016
and

These loans are made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those of comparable transactions with non-insiders prevailing at the time, in accordance with the Bank’s underwriting guidelines, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. The Bank has an Employee Loan Program (the Program) which is available to all employees and offers executive officers, directors and principal stockholders that meet the eligibility requirements the opportunity to participate on the same terms as employees generally, provided that any loan to an executive officer, director or principal stockholder must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The sole benefit provided under the Program is a reduction in loan fees.
Deposits from principal officers, directors, and their related interests amounted to
$4.3 million
and
$2.5 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015

TCW Affiliates
. TCW Shared Opportunity Fund V, L.P. (SHOP V Fund), an affiliate of The TCW Group, Inc., initially became a holder of the Company’s voting common stock and non-voting common stock as a lead investor in the November 2010 recapitalization of the Company (the Recapitalization). In connection with its investment in the Recapitalization, SHOP V Fund also was issued by the Company an immediately exercisable
five
-year warrant (the SHOP V Fund Warrant) to purchase
240,000
shares of non-voting common stock or, to the extent provided therein, shares of voting common stock in lieu of non-voting common stock. SHOP V Fund was issued shares of non-voting common stock in the Recapitalization because at that time, a controlling interest in TCW Asset Management Company, the investment manager to SHOP V Fund, was held by a foreign banking organization, and in order to prevent SHOP V Fund from being considered a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, the number of shares of voting common stock it purchased in the Recapitalization had to be limited to
4.99 percent
of the total number of shares of voting common stock outstanding immediately following the Recapitalization. For the same reason, the SHOP V Fund Warrant could be exercised by SHOP V Fund for voting common stock in lieu of non-voting common stock only to the extent SHOP V Fund's percentage ownership of the voting common stock at the time of exercise would be less than
4.99 percent
as a result of dilution occurring from additional issuances of voting common stock subsequent to the Recapitalization.
58
Table of Contents
In 2013, the foreign banking organization sold its controlling interest in TCW Asset Management Company, eliminating the need to limit SHOP V Fund's percentage ownership of the voting common stock to
4.99 percent
. As a result, on May 29, 2013, the Company and SHOP V Fund entered into a Common Stock Share Exchange Agreement, dated May 29, 2013 (Exchange Agreement), pursuant to which SHOP V Fund could from time to time exchange its shares of non-voting common stock for shares of voting common stock issued by the Company on a share-for-share basis, provided that immediately following any such exchange, SHOP V Fund's percentage ownership of voting common stock did not exceed
9.99 percent
.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and general practices within the banking industry. Within these financial statements, certain financial information contains approximate measurements of financial effects of transactions and impacts at the consolidated statements of financial condition dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity
Return on average tangible common equity is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance. Average tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting average preferred stock, average goodwill, and average other intangible assets from average stockholders’ equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of the Company, as it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing tangible capital. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
The following table reconciles this non-GAAP performance measure to the GAAP performance measure for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended
June 30, 2016
Compared to Three Months Ended
June 30, 2015
Net interest income was
$81.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$26.9 million
, or
49.8 percent
, from
$54.1 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The growth in net interest income from the prior period was largely due to higher interest income from higher average balances of interest-earning assets partially offset by higher interest expense on higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and lower average yield on total loans and leases.
Interest income on total loans and leases was
$73.7 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$13.0 million
, or
21.5 percent
, from
$60.7 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase in interest income on loans and leases was due to a
$1.41 billion
increase in average total loans and leases, partially offset by an
18
basis points (bps) decrease in average yield. The increase in average balance was due mainly to an increase in loan and lease originations and purchases. The decrease in average yield was mainly due to the lower yields on newly originated loans and leases, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of seasoned SFR mortgage loan pools to total loans and leases where discounts on these pools generate additional interest income. The discount accretion totaled
$10.5 million
and
$7.2 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
Interest income on securities was
$19.4 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$17.3 million
, or
815.2 percent
, from
$2.1 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase in interest income on securities was due to a
$2.29 billion
increase in average balance and a
78
bps increase in average yield. The increase in average balance was mainly due to purchases of securities to reduce excess cash generated from the preferred stock and common stock offerings in 2016 and the deposit balance increase during the period. The increase in average yield was due to higher interest rates on newly purchased investment securities. During the three months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company purchased
$968.7 million
of securities available-for-sale and sold
$1.30 billion
of securities available-for-sale. The Company repositioned its securities available-for-sale portfolio to navigate a volatile rate environment, and enhance the consistency and predictability of its earnings. The Company was able to offset the negative fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights and interest rate swaps with fair market value gains realized through sales of securities available-for-sale during the three months ended
June 30, 2016
.
Dividends and interest income on other interest-earning assets was
$1.5 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
a decrease
of
$522 thousand
, or
25.8 percent
, from
$2.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The decrease in dividends and interest income on other interest-earning assets was due to a
$50.0 million
decrease in average balance and a
29
bps decrease in average yield. The decrease in average yield was mainly due to decreased stock dividends on FHLB stock.
73
Table of Contents
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was
$8.4 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$2.2 million
, or
36.0 percent
, from
$6.2 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits resulted from a
$1.62 billion
increase in average balance, partially offset by a
2
bps decrease in average cost. The increase was mainly due to strong deposit growth across the Company's business units, including strong growth from the financial institutions banking business, as well as an increased average balance per account. The Company also strategically added brokered certificates of deposit in order to facilitate a reduction in FHLB borrowings and maintain a low overall cost of funds, while securing an adequate level of contingent liquidity. The decrease in average cost was due mainly to the Company's effort to reduce the cost of deposits by increasing lower cost core deposits.
Interest expense on FHLB advances was
$2.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$1.7 million
, or
577.9 percent
, from
$290 thousand
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase was due mainly to a
$1.29 billion
increase in average balance and a
17
bps increase in average cost. The increase in average cost was due to a rising interest rate environment.
Interest expense on securities sold under repurchase agreements was
$389 thousand
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
. The Company utilized the repurchase agreements in order to diversify its funding sources.
Interest expense on long term debt and other interest-bearing liabilities was
$2.9 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
,
a decrease
of
$1.4 million
, or
33.2 percent
, from
$4.3 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2015
. The decrease was due mainly to the redemption of the Senior Notes I during the second quarter of 2016.
Six Months Ended
June 30, 2016
Compared to
Six Months Ended
June 30, 2015
Net interest income was
$151.5 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$45.4 million
, or
42.7 percent
, from
$106.1 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
. The growth in net interest income from the prior period was largely due to higher interest income from higher average balances of interest-earning assets partially offset by higher interest expense on higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and lower average yield on total loans and leases.
Interest income on total loans and leases was
$140.9 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$22.0 million
, or
18.5 percent
, from
$118.9 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase in interest income on loans and leases was due to a
$1.13 billion
increase in average total loans and leases, partially offset by a
13
bps decrease in average yield. The increase in average balance was due mainly to an increase in loan and lease originations. The decrease in average yield was mainly due to the lower yields on newly originated loans and leases, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of seasoned SFR mortgage loan pools to total loans and leases where discounts on these pools generate additional interest income. The discount accretion totaled
$21.1 million
and
$14.0 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
Interest income on securities was
$35.4 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$31.4 million
, or
775.9 percent
, from
$4.0 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase in interest income on securities was due to a
$2.03 billion
increase in average balance and a
79
bps increase in average yield. The increase in average balance was mainly due to purchases of securities to reduce excess cash generated from the preferred stock and common stock offerings in 2016 and the deposit balance increase during the period. The increase in average yield was due to higher interest rates on newly purchased investment securities. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company purchased
$4.04 billion
of securities available-for-sale and sold
$3.53 billion
of securities available-for-sale. The Company repositioned its securities available-for-sale portfolio to navigate a volatile rate environment, and enhance the consistency and predictability of its earnings. The Company was able to offset the negative fair value adjustments on mortgage servicing rights and interest rate swaps with fair market value gains realized through sales of securities available-for-sale during the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
.
Dividends and interest income on other interest-earning assets was
$2.6 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
,
a decrease
of
$171.0 thousand
, or
6.3 percent
, from
$2.7 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
. The decrease in dividends and interest income on other interest-earning assets was due to a
$25.3 million
decrease in average balance and a
7
bps increase in average yield. The increase in average yield was mainly due to a decrease in average balance of low-interest earning cash.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was
$16.5 million
for
six months ended
June 30, 2016
,
an increase
of
$4.0 million
, or
31.7 percent
, from
$12.5 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2015
. The increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits resulted from a
$1.43 billion
increase in average balance, partially offset by a
2
bps decrease in average cost. The increase was mainly due to strong deposit growth across the Company's business units, including strong growth from the financial institutions banking business, as well as an increased average balance per account. The Company also strategically added brokered certificates of deposit in order to facilitate a reduction in FHLB borrowings and maintain a low overall cost of funds, while securing an adequate level of contingent liquidity. The decrease in average cost was due mainly to the Company's effort to reduce the cost of deposits by increasing lower cost core deposits.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Provisions for loan and lease losses are charged to operations at a level required to reflect inherent credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The Company recorded provisions for loan and lease losses of
$1.8 million
and
$5.5 million
, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, and
$2.1 million
and
$5.5 million
, respectively, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
.
On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the PCI loans and the loan pools for potential impairment. The provision for losses on PCI loans is the result of changes in expected cash flows, both in amount and timing, due to loan payments and the Company’s revised loss forecasts. The revisions to the loss forecasts were based on the results of management’s review of the credit quality of the outstanding loans/loan pools and the analysis of the loan performance data since the acquisition of these loans. On a quarterly basis, the Company also evaluates whether a reforecast of cash flow projections is necessary. Due to the uncertainty in the future performance of the PCI loans, additional impairments may be recognized in the future.

, respectively. Total provision for loan repurchases were
$1.2 million
and
$2.9 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The increase in the initial provision was mainly due to increased volume of mortgage loan originations and sales and the decrease in provision for loan repurchases in noninterest expense was due to the lower reserve requirement compared to the preceding period.
Amortization of intangible assets was

an increase
of
$2.4 million
, or
22.6 percent
, from
$10.6 million
for the
six months ended

. The increase was mainly due to a cost of $2.7 million for the redemption of the Senior Notes I and costs associated with the growth in mortgage banking activities.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, income tax expense was
$18.3 million
and
$11.5 million
, respectively, and the effective tax rate was
40.8 percent
and
41.9 percent
, respectively. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, income tax expense was
$31.5 million
and
$21.0 million
, respectively, and the effective tax rate was
40.6 percent
and
42.4 percent
, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased for the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
due to the accrual and settlement of an amount related to the Internal Revenue Service's examination of the 2010 and 2011 tax years as well as a higher state income tax rate during the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2015
. For additional information, see Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) in this report.

Commercial Banking Segment
Income before income taxes from the Commercial Banking segment was
$45.0 million
and
$24.7 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The increase was mainly due to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in provision for loan and lease losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense and a decrease in noninterest income.
Net interest income was
$80.2 million
and
$54.9 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The increase in net interest income was largely due to higher interest income from higher average balances of interest-earning assets partially offset by higher interest expense on higher average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and lower average yield on total loans and leases.
Provision for loan and lease losses was
$1.8 million
and
$5.5 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
Noninterest income was
$20.7 million
and
$21.5 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The decrease in noninterest income was mainly due to a gain on sale of building in 2015, decreases in loan servicing income (loss) and net gain on sale of loans, partially offset by increases in net gain on sale of securities available for sale.
Noninterest expense was
$54.1 million
and
$46.2 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The increases were mainly due to acquisitions and expansion of the business footprint.

Noninterest expense was
$42.8 million
and
$38.6 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2016
and
2015
, respectively. The increases were mainly due to expansion of the Mortgage Banking segment, which incurred additional compensation expense related to an increase in the number of full-time employees, and a loan origination variable commission expense, and occupancy cost related to an increase in the number of loan production offices.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale in accordance with GAAP; the Company presently has no investment securities classified as held-for-trading. Investment securities that the Company has the ability and the intent to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale. Investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at their estimated fair values with the changes in fair values recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, as a component of stockholders’ equity.
The primary goal of our investment securities portfolio is to provide a relatively stable source of interest income while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Certain investment securities provide a source of liquidity as collateral for FHLB Advances, repurchase agreements and for certain public funds deposits.

an increase
of
$469.2 million
, or
56.3 percent
, from

,
an increase
of
$224.9 million
, or
33.6 percent

$475.3 million
and
$289.7 million
carried at lower of cost or fair value as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The
$39.4 million
, or
10.4 percent
, increase in loans carried at fair value was due mainly to originations of
$2.34 billion
, partially offset by sales of
$2.32 billion
. The
$185.6 million
, or
64.1 percent
, increase in loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value was due mainly to originations of
$342.1 million
and loans transferred from loans and leases receivable of
$61.4 million
, partially offset by sales of
$180.3 million
, loans transferred to loans and leases receivable of
$7.1 million
, and paydowns and amortization of
$30.5 million
.
Loans held-for-sale carried at fair value represent mainly conforming SFR mortgage loans originated by the Bank that are sold into the secondary market on a whole loan basis. Some of these loans are expected to be sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae on a servicing retained basis. The servicing of these loans is performed by a third party sub-servicer.
Loans held-for-sale carried at the lower of cost or fair value are mainly non-conforming jumbo mortgage loans that are originated to sell in pools, unlike the loans individually originated to sell into the secondary market on a whole loan basis.

Seasoned SFR Mortgage Loan Acquisitions
During the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company completed a seasoned SFR mortgage loan pool acquisition with unpaid principal balances and fair values of
$103.8 million
and
$91.0 million
, respectively, at their acquisition date and as of
June 30, 2016
. The Company determined that loans in this seasoned SFR mortgage loan acquisition reflect credit quality deterioration since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The Company acquired these loans at a discount to both current property value and note balance at acquisition.
The purchase price of the loans was less than
59.9 percent
of current property value at the time of acquisition based on a third party broker price opinion, and less than
92.6 percent
of note balance at the time of acquisition. At the time of acquisition, approximately
84.0 percent
of the mortgage loans by current principal balance (excluding any forbearance amounts) had the original terms modified at some point since origination by a prior owner or servicer. The mortgage loans had a current weighted average interest rate of
3.82 percent
, determined by current principal balance. The weighted average credit score of the borrowers comprising the mortgage loans at or near the time of acquisition determined by current principal balance and excluding those with no credit score on file was
546
. The average property value determined by a broker price opinion obtained by third party licensed real estate professionals at or around the time of acquisition was
$272 thousand
. Approximately
98.0 percent
of the borrowers by current principal balance had made at least 12 monthly payments in the 12 months preceding the trade date and
98.4 percent
had made at least six monthly payments in the six months preceding the trade date. The mortgage loans are secured by residences located in
43
states with California being the largest state concentration representing
26.4 percent
of the note balance.

Seasoned SFR Mortgage Loan Acquisition Due Diligence
The acquisition program implemented and executed by the Company involves a multifaceted due diligence process that includes compliance reviews, title analyses, review of modification agreements, updated property valuation assessments, collateral inventory and other undertakings related to the scope of due diligence. Prior to acquiring mortgage loans, the Company, its affiliates, sub-advisors or due diligence partners typically will review the loan portfolio and conduct certain due diligence on a loan by loan basis according to its proprietary diligence plan. This due diligence encompasses analyzing the title, subordinate liens and judgments as well as a comprehensive reconciliation of current property value. The Company, its affiliates, and its sub-advisors prepare a customized version of its diligence plan for each mortgage loan pool being reviewed that is designed to address certain identified pool specific risks. The diligence plan generally reviews several factors, including but not limited to, obtaining and reconciling property value, confirming chain of titles, reviewing assignments, confirming lien position, confirming regulatory compliance, updating borrower credit, certifying collateral, and reviewing servicing notes. In certain transactions, a portion of the diligence may be provided by the seller. In those instances, the Company reviews the mortgage loan portfolio to confirm the accuracy of the provided diligence information and supplements as appropriate.
As part of the confirmation of property values in the diligence process, the Company conducts independent due diligence on the individual properties and borrowers prior to the acquisition of the mortgage loans. In addition, market conditions, regional mortgage loan information and local trends in home values, coupled with market knowledge, are used by the Company in calculating the appropriate additional risk discount to compensate for potential property declines, foreclosures, defaults or other risks associated with the mortgage loan portfolio to be acquired. Typically, the Company may enter into one or more agreements with affiliates or third parties to perform certain of these due diligence tasks with respect to acquiring potential mortgage loans.
Non-Traditional Mortgage Portfolio
The Company’s NTM portfolio is comprised of three interest only products: Green Loans, Interest Only loans and a small number of additional loans with the potential for negative amortization. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the NTM totaled
$842.6 million
, or
13.5 percent
of the total gross loan portfolio, and
$785.9 million
, or
15.2 percent
of the total gross loan portfolio, respectively. The total NTM portfolio increased by
$56.7 million
, or
7.2 percent
during the period, due mainly to interest only loans originations of
$149.6 million
.
The initial credit guidelines for the NTM portfolio were established based on the borrower's FICO score, LTV ratio, property type, occupancy type, loan amount, and geography. Additionally, from an ongoing credit risk management perspective, the Company has determined that the most significant performance indicators for NTMs are LTV ratios and FICO scores. The Company reviews the NTM loan portfolio periodically, which includes refreshing FICO scores on the Green Loans and HELOCs and ordering third party AVM to confirm collateral values.
Green Loans
Green Loans are SFR first and second mortgage lines of credit with a linked checking account that allows all types of deposits and withdrawals to be performed. The loans are generally interest only with a 15 year balloon payment due at maturity. The Company initiated the Green Loan products in 2005 and proactively refined underwriting and credit management practices and credit guidelines in response to changing economic environments, competitive conditions and portfolio performance. The Company continues to manage credit risk, to the extent possible, throughout the borrower’s credit cycle. The Company discontinued the origination of Green Loan products in 2011.

Table of Contents
Green Loans totaled
$103.9 million
at
June 30, 2016
, a decrease of
$5.9 million
, or
5.4 percent
from
$109.8 million
at
December 31, 2015
, primarily due to reductions in principal balances and payoffs. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
$9.9 million
and
$10.1 million
, respectively, of the Company’s Green Loans were non-performing. As a result of their unique payment feature, Green Loans possess higher credit risk due to the potential of negative amortization; however, management believes the risk is mitigated through the Company’s loan terms and underwriting standards, including its policies on loan-to-value ratios and the Company’s contractual ability to curtail loans when the value of the underlying collateral declines.
The Green Loans are similar to HELOCs in that they are collateralized primarily by the equity in single family homes However, some Green Loans are subject to differences from HELOCs relating to certain characteristics including one-action laws. Similar to Green Loans, HELOCs allow the borrower to draw down on the credit line based on an established loan amount for a period of time, typically 10 years, requiring an interest only payment with an option to pay principal at any time. A typical HELOC provides that at the end of the term the borrower can continue to make monthly principal and interest payments based on the loan balance until the maturity date. The Green Loan is an interest only loan with a maturity of 15 years, at which time the loan comes due and payable with a balloon payment. The unique payment structure also differs from a traditional HELOC in that payments are made through the direct linkage of a personal checking account to the loan through a nightly sweep of funds into the Green Loan Account. This reduces any outstanding balance on the loan by the total amount deposited into the checking account. As a result, every time a deposit is made, effectively a payment to the Green Loan is made. HELOCs typically do not cause the loan to be paid down by a borrower’s depositing of funds into their checking account at the same bank.
Credit guidelines for Green Loans were established based on borrower FICO scores, property type, occupancy type, loan amount, and geography. Property types include single family residences and second trust deeds where the Company owned the first liens, owner occupied as well as non-owner occupied properties. The Company utilized its underwriting guidelines for first liens to underwrite the Green Loan secured by second trust deeds as if the combined loans were a single Green Loan. For all Green Loans, the loan income was underwritten using either full income documentation or alternative income documentation.
Interest Only Loans
Interest only loans are primarily SFR first mortgage loans with payment features that allow interest only payment in initial periods before converting to a fully amortizing loan. Interest only loans totaled
$727.5 million
at
June 30, 2016
, an increase of
$63.1 million
, or
9.5 percent
, from
$664.5 million
at
December 31, 2015
. The increase was primarily due to originations of
$149.6 million
, partially offset by loans transferred to held-for-sale of
$1.7 million
and net amortization of
$89.1 million
. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
$2.7 million
and
$4.6 million
of the interest only loans were non-performing, respectively.
Loans with the Potential for Negative Amortization
Negative amortization loans totaled
$11.2 million
at
June 30, 2016
, a decrease of
$413 thousand
, or
3.6 percent
, from
$11.6 million
as of
December 31, 2015
. The Company discontinued origination of negative amortization loans in 2007. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
none
of the loans that had the potential for negative amortization were non-performing. These loans pose a potentially higher credit risk because of the lack of principal amortization and potential for negative amortization; however, management believes the risk is mitigated through the loan terms and underwriting standards, including the Company’s policies on loan-to-value ratios.
NTM Loan Credit Risk Management
The Company performs detailed reviews of collateral values on loans collateralized by residential real property including its NTM portfolio based on appraisals or estimates from third party AVMs to analyze property value trends periodically. AVMs are used to identify loans that have experienced potential collateral deterioration. Once a loan has been identified that may have experienced collateral deterioration, the Company will obtain updated drive by or full appraisals in order to confirm the valuation. This information is used to update key monitoring metrics such as LTV ratios. Additionally, FICO scores are obtained in conjunction with the collateral analysis. In addition to LTV ratios and FICO scores, the Company evaluates the portfolio on a specific loan basis through delinquency and portfolio charge-offs to determine whether any risk mitigation or portfolio management actions are warranted. The borrowers may be contacted as necessary to discuss material changes in loan performance or credit metrics.
The Company’s risk management policy and credit monitoring includes reviewing delinquency, FICO scores, and collateral values on the NTM loan portfolio. The Company also continuously monitors market conditions for our geographic lending areas. The Company has determined that the most significant performance indicators for NTM are LTV ratios and FICO scores. The loan review provides an effective method of identifying borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulty before they fail to make a loan payment. Upon receipt of the updated FICO scores, an exception report is run to identify loans with a decrease in FICO score of 10 percent or more and a resulting FICO score of 620 or less. The loans are then further analyzed to
86
Table of Contents
determine if the risk rating should be downgraded, which may require an increase in the ALLL the Company needs to establish for potential losses. A report is prepared and regularly monitored.
On the interest only loans, the Company projects future payment changes to determine if there will be an increase in payment of 3.50 percent or greater and then monitors the loans for possible delinquencies. The individual loans are monitored for possible downgrading of risk rating, and trends within the portfolio are identified that could affect other interest only loans scheduled for payment changes in the near future.
As these loans are revolving lines of credit, the Company, based on the loan agreement and loan covenants of the particular loan, as well as applicable rules and regulations, could suspend the borrowing privileges or reduce the credit limit at any time the Company reasonably believes that the borrower will be unable to fulfill their repayment obligations under the agreement or certain other conditions are met. In many cases, the decrease in FICO score is the first red flag that the borrower may have difficulty in making their future payment obligations.
As a result, the Company proactively manages the portfolio by performing a detailed analysis with emphasis on the non-traditional mortgage portfolio. The Company’s Internal Asset Review Committee (IARC) conducts regular meetings to review the loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful and determines whether suspension or reduction in credit limit is warranted. If the line has been suspended and the borrower would like to have their credit privileges reinstated, they would need to provide updated financials showing their ability to meet their payment obligations. From the most recent review completed during the
six months ended
June 30, 2016
, the Company made
no
curtailment in available commitments on Green Loans.
Consumer and NTM loans may entail greater risk than do traditional SFR mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles and recreational vehicles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a consumer and NTM loan are more dependent on the borrower‘s continued financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Past due loans may or may not be adequately collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower experiences changes to their financial condition, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where we believe the borrower will eventually overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full.
Additional income of approximately
$547 thousand
and
$1.1 million
would have been recorded during the three and six months ended

Troubled Debt Restructurings
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 of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
TDR loans and leases consist of the following as of the dates indicated:

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The Company maintains an ALLL to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. The ALLL is based on ongoing assessment of the estimated probable losses presently inherent in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the ALLL, management considers the types of loans and leases and the amount of loans and leases in the portfolio, peer group information, historical loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This methodology takes into account many factors, including the Company’s own historical and peer loss trends, loan and lease-level credit quality ratings, loan and lease specific attributes along with a review of various credit metrics and trends. The process involves subjective as well as complex judgments. The Company used a
22
-quarter loss experience of the Company and
6
-quarter industry average loss experience in analyzing an appropriate reserve factor for loans at
June 30, 2016
. The Company also uses a
28
-quarter industry average loss experience in analyzing an appropriate reserve factor for portfolio segments that do not have adequate internal loss history. In addition, the Company uses adjustments for numerous factors including those found in the Interagency Guidance on ALLL, which include current economic conditions, loan and lease seasoning, underwriting experience, and collateral value changes among others. The Company evaluates all impaired loans and leases individually using guidance from ASC 310 primarily through the evaluation of cash flows or collateral values.
The Company has acquired PCI loans through business acquisitions and purchases of seasoned SFR mortgage loan pools. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company acquired one pool of seasoned SFR mortgage PCI loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company acquired one pool of seasoned SFR mortgage loans, which were partially PCI loans. The Company may recognize provision for loan and lease losses in the future should there be further deterioration in these loans after the purchase date to the point where the impairment exceed the non-accretable yield and purchased discount. On a quarterly basis, the Company re-forecasts its expected cash flows for the PCI loans to be evaluated for potential impairment. The provision for PCI loans reflected a decrease in expected cash flows on PCI loans compared to those previously estimated. The impairment reserve for PCI loans was
$104 thousand
and $206 thousand at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively.
The Company made provisions for loan and lease losses of
$1.8 million
and
$2.1 million
during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
, respectively, related primarily to the increased overall loan balance, partially offset by improved asset quality. The decrease in the percentage of ALLL to total loans and leases was mainly due to improving asset quality, which resulted in lower charge-offs and declining quantitative loss rates and qualitative factors in line with the current economic and business environment.

. The increase was mainly due to strong deposit growth across the Company's business units, including strong growth from the financial institutions banking business, as well as an increased average balance per account. The Company also strategically added brokered certificates of deposit in order to facilitate a reduction in FHLB borrowings and maintain a low overall cost of funds, while securing an adequate level of contingent liquidity.
Borrowings
The Company utilizes FHLB advances and securities sold under repurchase agreements to leverage its capital base, to provide funds for its lending activities, as a source of liquidity, and to enhance its interest rate risk management. The Company also maintains additional borrowing availabilities from FRB discount window, unsecured federal funds lines of credit, and an unsecured line of credit with an unaffiliated financial party.
FHLB advances totaled
$930.0 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
. The Company did not have outstanding securities sold under repurchase agreements at
June 30, 2016
and

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that is considered adequate to cover the estimated and known inherent risks. The probability of usage of the unfunded loan commitments and credit risk factors are determined based on the outstanding loan balance of the same customer or outstanding loans that shares similar credit risk exposure. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was
$1.9 million
and
$2.1 million
, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to an improvement in asset quality and a reflection of most recent commitments utilization trend history.

Reserve for Loss on Repurchased Loans
Reserve for loss on repurchased loans was
$10.4 million
and
$9.7 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. This reserve relates to the Company's mortgage banking activities. When the Company sells residential mortgage loans into the secondary mortgage market, the Company makes customary representations and warranties to the purchasers about various characteristics of each loan, such as the manner of origination, the nature and extent of underwriting standards applied and the types of documentation being provided. Typically, these representations and warranties are in place for the life of the loan. If a defect in the origination process is identified, the Company may be required to either repurchase the loan or indemnify the purchaser for losses it sustains on the loan. If there are no such defects, generally the Company has no liability to the purchaser for losses it may incur on such loan. In addition, the Company has the option to buy out severely delinquent loans at par from Ginnie Mae pools for which the Company is the servicer and issuer of the pool. The Company maintains a reserve for loss on repurchased loans to account for the expected losses related to loans the Company might be required to repurchase (or the indemnity payments the Company may have to make to purchasers). The reserve takes into account both the estimate of expected losses on loans sold during the current accounting period, as well as adjustments to the previous estimates of expected losses on loans sold. In each case, these estimates are based on the most recent data available, including data from third parties, regarding demand for loan repurchases, actual loan repurchases, and actual credit losses on repurchased loans, among other factors.
Provisions added to the reserve for loss on repurchased loans are initially recorded against net revenue on mortgage banking activities at the time of sale, and any subsequent increase or decrease in the provision is then recorded under non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an increase or decrease to provision for loan repurchases

Liquidity Management
The Company is required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, the Company has maintained liquid assets above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows, and dividend payments. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained.
Banc of California, NA
The Bank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale, is a product of its operating, investing, and financing activities. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, payments and maturities of outstanding loans and investment securities; and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and investment securities, and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition, the Bank invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Bank also generates cash through borrowings. The Bank mainly utilizes FHLB advances and securities sold under repurchase agreements to leverage its capital base, to provide funds for its lending activities, as a source of liquidity, and to enhance its interest rate risk management. The Bank also has the ability to obtain brokered deposits and collect deposits through the wholesale and treasury operations. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Any excess liquidity would be invested in federal funds or investment securities. On a longer-term basis, the Bank maintains a strategy of investing in various lending products. The Bank uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing loan and other commitments, and to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals.
Banc of California, Inc.
The primary sources of funds for Banc of California, Inc., on a stand-alone holding company basis, are dividends and intercompany tax payments from the Bank, outside borrowing, and its ability to raise capital and issue debts. Dividends from the Bank are largely dependent upon the Bank's earnings and are subject to restrictions under the certain regulations that limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company.
OCC regulations impose various restrictions on the ability of a bank to make capital distributions, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, and certain other items. Generally, a bank may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to up to 100 percent of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years without prior OCC approval. At
June 30, 2016
, the Bank had
$152.2 million
available to pay dividends to the holding company.
At
June 30, 2016
, the Banc of California, Inc. had
$101.8 million
in cash, of which is on deposit at the Bank.
On a consolidated basis, the Company maintained
$271.7 million
of cash and cash equivalents, which was
2.7 percent
of total assets at
June 30, 2016
. The Company also maintained
$204.1 million
of unpledged securities available-for-sale issued by U.S. Treasury and direct government obligations at
June 30, 2016
, which the Company considers in its assessment of cash and cash equivalents as they are highly liquid. These securities and cash and cash equivalents together represented
4.7 percent
of total assets as of
June 30, 2016
. The Company also maintained unpledged investment securities, both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity of
$1.04 billion
at
June 30, 2016
, which can be utilized for securing additional borrowing capacity by pledging for FHLB advances, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other forms of financing.
At
June 30, 2016
, the Company also had available unused secured borrowing capacities of
$2.17 billion
from FHLB and
$142.7 million
from Federal Reserve discount window, as well as
$85.0 million
from unused unsecured federal funds lines of credit and up to
$1.00 billion
from unused repurchase agreements at the Bank. In addition, Banc of California, Inc maintained an unused line of credit of
$75.0 million
with an affiliated financial party at
June 30, 2016
. The Company's total available borrowing capacity, on both a secured and an unsecured basis, was
$3.48 billion
at
June 30, 2016
.
The Company believes that its liquidity sources are stable and are adequate to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements. As of
June 30, 2016
, the Company believes that there are no events, uncertainties, material commitments, or capital expenditures that were reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity position.

Capital
In order to maintain adequate level of capital, the Company continuously assesses projected sources and uses of capital to support projected asset growth, operating needs and credit risk. The Company considers, among other things, earnings generated from operations and access to capital from financial markets through issuing additional preferred and common stock to meet the Company's capital requirements for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company performs capital stress tests on an annual basis to assess the impact of adverse changes in the economy on the Company's capital base.
Regulatory Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines that are established by the Federal banking regulators. In July 2013, the Federal banking regulators approved a final rule to implement the revised capital adequacy standards of the Basel III and to address relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, makes selected changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets, and adjusts the prompt corrective action thresholds. The Company and the Bank became subject to the new rule on January 1, 2015 and certain provisions of the new rule will be phased in through 2019. For additional information on BASEL III capital rules, see Note 16 to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) in this report.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our Risk When Interest Rates Change.
The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.
How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes.
As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities and/or prepayments, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.
In order to manage the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better align the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These policies are implemented by the asset and liability management committee. The asset and liability management committee is chaired by the treasurer and is comprised of members of our senior management. Asset and liability management policies establish guidelines for the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs, while the asset liability management committee monitors adherence to these guidelines. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals. The asset and liability management committee meets periodically to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to our net present value of equity analysis. At each meeting, the asset and liability management committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The treasurer or his/her designee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the board of directors on a regular basis.
In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we evaluate various strategies including:
•
Originating and purchasing adjustable-rate mortgage loans,
•
Originating shorter-term consumer loans,
•
Managing the duration of investment securities,
•
Managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,
•
Using FHLB advances and/or certain derivatives such as swaps to align maturities and repricing terms, and
•
Managing the percentage of fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.
At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the asset and liability management committee may determine to increase the Company’s interest rate risk position within the asset liability tolerance set by the Bank’s policies.
As part of its procedures, the asset and liability management committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an institution’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity that are authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities
As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.
At
June 30, 2016
, the Company did not maintain any securities for trading purposes or engage in trading activities. The Company does use derivative instruments to hedge its mortgage banking risks. In addition, interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities and operations.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) as of
June 30, 2016
was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
June 30, 2016
, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the
three and six months ended
June 30, 2016
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. We do not anticipate incurring any material liability as a result of such currently pending litigation.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors that appeared under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
.
As of June 30, 2016, the Company’s consolidated total assets, and the Bank’s total assets, exceeded $10 billion for the first time. We will become subject to additional regulatory scrutiny if, as expected, our total assets remain above $10 billion, as measured by applicable regulatory standards.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, when the total assets of the Company or the Bank exceed $10 billion, as measured as described below, the Company or the Bank, as applicable, will become subject to a number of additional requirements, that will impose additional compliance costs on our business. There may also be higher expectations from regulators.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has near exclusive supervision authority, including examination authority, to assess compliance with federal consumer financial laws for a bank and its affiliates if the bank has total assets of more than $10 billion. This provision becomes applicable to a bank following the fourth consecutive quarter where the total assets of the bank, as reported in its quarterly Call Report, exceed $10 billion and afterwards remains applicable to the bank unless the bank has reported total assets of $10 billion or less in its quarterly Call Report for four consecutive quarters.
Also under the Dodd-Frank Act, the minimum ratio of net worth to insured deposits of the federal Deposit Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC was increased from 1.15 percent to 1.35 percent and the FDIC is required, in setting deposit insurance assessments, to offset the effect of the increase on institutions with assets of less than $10 billion, which results in institutions with assets greater than $10 billion paying higher assessments. In addition, following the fourth consecutive quarter where the total assets of a bank exceeds $10 billion, as reported in its quarterly Call Report, the FDIC’s method for determining its assessments for federal deposit insurance changes to the large bank scorecard method. The large bank scorecard method uses a performance score and a loss severity score, which are combined and converted into an initial base assessment rate. The performance score is based on measures of a bank’s ability to withstand asset-related stress and funding-related stress and weighted CAMELS ratings, which are safety and soundness ratings ascribed under the CAMELS supervisory rating system and assigned based on a supervisory authority’s analysis of a bank’s financial statements and on-site examinations. The loss severity score is a measure of potential losses to the FDIC in the event of the bank’s failure. Under a formula, the performance score and loss severity score are combined and converted to a total score that determines the bank’s initial base assessment rate. The FDIC has the discretion to alter the total score based on factors not captured by the scorecard. The resulting initial base assessment rate is also subject to adjustments downward based on long term unsecured debt issued by the bank, to adjustment upward based on long term unsecured debt held by the bank that is issued by other FDIC-insured institutions, and to further adjustment upward if the bank’s brokered deposits exceed 10 percent of its domestic deposits. Once a bank becomes subject to large bank scorecard method, it remains subject to that method unless the bank has reported total assets of $10 billion or less in its quarterly Call Report for four consecutive quarters.
The Bank also may be affected by the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act regarding limits on debit card interchange fees. The Durbin Amendment gave the Federal Reserve Board the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by a payment card issuer that, together with its affiliates, has assets of $10 billion or more, as of December 31 of the preceding calendar year, and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted rules under this provision that limit the swipe fees that a debit card issuer can charge a merchant for a transaction to the sum of 21 cents and five basis points times the value of the transaction, plus up to one cent for fraud prevention costs.
In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly-traded bank holding companies with assets of $10 billion or more to perform capital stress testing and establish a risk committee responsible for enterprise-wide risk management practices, comprised of independent directors, including one risk management expert. These provisions become applicable if the average of the total consolidated assets of the bank holding company, as reported in its quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies, for the four most recent consecutive quarters exceed $10 billion.
As a result of the above, if and when the Company's or the Bank’s total assets exceed $10 billion, as measured as described above, deposit insurance assessments and expenses related to regulatory compliance are likely to increase, and interchange fee income will likely decrease, the cumulative effect of which may be significant.

ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION
On August 3, 2016, the Company entered into a Trust Agreement, between the Company and Evercore Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee), pursuant to which the parties established the Banc of California Capital and Liquidity Enhancement Employee Compensation Trust (the Trust) to fund future compensation and benefit obligations of the Company using the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock). Pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2016, between the Company and the Trust, the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to the Trust for an aggregate purchase price of $53,625,000.00 (which is the number of shares sold multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange immediately prior to the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), in exchange for (i) a cash amount equal to the aggregate par value of such shares and (ii) a promissory note for the balance of the purchase price of such shares. The shares of Common Stock were sold to the Trust in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Trust is a trust that holds shares of Common Stock to be used to fund the Company’s obligations during the term of the Trust under certain stock and other employee benefit plans of the Company and its subsidiaries (Plans). The Trust will release the shares of Common Stock over the term of the Trust to satisfy certain compensatory and benefit obligations of the Company under the Plans, as the promissory note is paid down through contributions by the Company, dividends on the shares of Common Stock received by the Trust or other earnings of the Trust. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company based on the fair value of the shares of Common Stock as they are released from the Trust. Unallocated shares of Common Stock held by the Trust will not be included in calculating the Company’s earnings per share.
After studying the Trust for several months, the Company's Board of Directors (the Board) approved the establishment of the Trust because it is expected to have a positive long-term impact on the Company’s regulatory capital and regulatory standing, will be an effective mechanism to improve employee compensation, retention, stability and morale, will help ensure that employees of the Company have an appropriate voice in governance and other matters presented to the Company’s stockholders, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The Trust Agreement contains confidential pass-through voting and tendering provisions that are structured such that the individuals with an economic interest in the shares of Common Stock held by the Trust control the voting and tendering of such shares. The Trust is currently structured to enable participants in the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan to determine the manner in which the shares of Common Stock held by the Trust is voted and tendered.
The Company may amend the Trust at any time, subject to limitations on certain amendments that adversely affect the contingent rights of Plan participants or that change the duties of the Trustee. The Trust will terminate on January 1, 2032 or any earlier date on which the promissory note is paid in full. The Board may terminate the Trust at any earlier time, and the Trust will terminate automatically upon the Company giving the Trustee notice of a Change of Control of the Company (as

defined in the Trust Agreement). Upon termination, the Trust will fund any pending obligations under the Plans with any shares then-available for allocation, sell an amount of Common Stock or other non-cash assets (if any) then held by the Trust sufficient to permit the Trust to pay to the Company the amount owed under the promissory note, and pay to the Company an amount equal to the remaining principal amount plus any accrued interest on the promissory note, which payment will be deemed to terminate all remaining obligations of the Trust with respect to the promissory note. Any assets remaining in the Trust will be distributed to Plan participants and then to individuals employed by the Company or its subsidiaries generally or to any benefit plan or trust in which a broad cross section of individuals employed by the Company or its subsidiaries participate. The Trustee is entitled to indemnification from the Company pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
Copies of the Trust Agreement and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement are attached to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibits 10.28 and 10.29, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Trust Agreement and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Trust Agreement and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
