NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

CU Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose operating subsidiary is California United Bank. As a bank holding company, CU Bancorp is subject to regulation of the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The term “Company”, as used throughout this document, refers to the consolidated financial statements of CU Bancorp and California United Bank.

California United Bank (the “Bank”) is a full-service commercial business bank offering a broad range of banking products and services including: deposit services, lending and cash management to small and medium-sized businesses, to non-profit organizations, to business principals and entrepreneurs, to the professional community, including attorneys, certified public accountants, financial advisors, healthcare providers and investors. The Bank opened for business in 2005. Its current headquarters office is located in Los Angeles, California. As a state chartered non-member bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the California Department of Business Oversight (“DBO”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC to the maximum amount allowed by law.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. Significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

CU Bancorp is the common shareholder of Premier Commercial Statutory Trust I, Premier Commercial Statutory Trust II, and Premier Commercial Statutory Trust III, entities which were acquired in the merger with Premier Commercial Bancorp (“PC Bancorp”). These trusts were established for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and do not meet the criteria for consolidation. For more detail, see Note 8 – Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures.

Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the annual consolidated financial statements are not included in the interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the interim periods presented.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, these accounting principles require the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan loss and various assets and liabilities measured at fair value. While management uses the most current available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan loss may be necessary based on, among other factors, changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan loss. Regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize changes to the allowance for loan loss based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Business Segments

The Company is organized and operates as a single reporting segment, principally engaged in commercial business banking. The Company conducts its lending and deposit operations through nine full service branch offices located in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and San Bernardino counties.

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaced existing revenue recognition guidance for contracts to provide goods or services to customers and amended existing guidance related to recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets such as real estate. ASU 2014-09 established a principles-based approach to recognizing revenue that applies to all contracts other than those covered by other authoritative GAAP guidance. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows were also required. ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and was to be applied on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. In response to stakeholders’ requests and to defer the effective date required by ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the original effective date for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2015-14 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities can early adopt the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. Early adoption of these provisions can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued (for public business entities) or that have not yet been made available for issuance. The classification and measurement guidance is the first ASU issued under the FASB’s financial instruments project. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. While both lessees and lessors are affected by the new guidance, the effects on the lessees are much more significant. The most significant change for lessees is the requirement under the new guidance to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short-term leases. By definition, a short-term lease is one in which: (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect an accounting policy by class of underlying asset under which right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized and lease payments are generally recognized as expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. This change will result in lessees recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases currently accounted for as operating leases under the legacy lease accounting guidance. For many entities, this could significantly affect the financial ratios they use for external reporting and other purposes, such as debt covenant compliance. Examples of changes in the new guidance affecting both lessees and lessors include: (a) defining initial direct costs to only include those incremental costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been entered into, (b) requiring related party leases to be accounted for based on their legally enforceable terms and conditions, (c) eliminating the additional requirements that must be applied today to leases involving real estate and (d) revising the circumstances under which the transfer contract in a sale-leaseback transaction should be accounted for as the sale of an asset by the seller-lessee and the purchase of an asset by the buyer-lessor. In addition, both lessees and lessors are subject to new disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Page 10 of 68

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to reduce the complexity of certain aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. As a result of this ASU, changes applicable to all entities include: 1) minimum statutory withholding requirements; under the ASU, the threshold to qualify for equity classification would permit withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions. Also, the ASU provides that cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes would be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows; 2) accounting for forfeitures; the ASU would allow an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur; 3) accounting for income taxes; under the ASU, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies would be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. An entity also would recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Further, excess tax benefits would not be separated from other income tax cash flows and thus would be classified along with other cash flows as an operating activity. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Computation of Book Value and Tangible Book Value per Common Share

Book value per common share was calculated by dividing total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock, by the number of common shares issued and outstanding. Tangible book value per common share was calculated by dividing tangible common equity, by the number of common shares issued and outstanding. The tables below present the computation of book value and tangible book value per common share as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015

The unrealized losses in each of the above categories are associated with the general fluctuation of market interest rates and are not an indication of any deterioration in the credit quality of the security issuers. Further, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and is not more-likely-than-not to be required to sell the securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Accordingly, the Company had no securities that were classified as other-than-temporary impaired at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015, and did not recognize any impairment charges in the consolidated statements of income.

Page 14 of 68

The amortized cost, fair value and the weighted average yield of debt securities at March 31, 2016, are reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands). Maturity categories are determined as follows:

• U.S. Govt. Agency, U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S. Govt. Sponsored Agency bonds and notes – maturity date

• U.S. Govt. Sponsored Agency CMO or Mortgage-Backed Securities, U.S. Govt. Agency GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities, Asset Backed Securities and U.S. Gov. Agency SBA Securities – estimated cash flow taking into account estimated pre-payment speeds

• Investment grade Corporate Bonds and Municipal Securities – the earlier of the maturity date or the expected call date

Although, U.S. Government Agency and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Mortgage-Backed and CMO securities have contractual maturities through 2048, the expected maturity will differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers or issuers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalties.

The weighted average yields in the above table are based on effective rates of book balances at the end of the period. Yields are derived by dividing interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, by total amortized cost.

Credit Quality of Loans

The Company utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans. Under the Company’s loan risk rating system, loans are classified as “Pass,” with problem and potential problem loans as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss”. Individual loan risk ratings are updated continuously or at any time the situation warrants. In addition, management regularly reviews problem loans to determine whether any loan requires a classification change, in accordance with the Company’s policy and applicable regulations. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The internal loan classification risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

• Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. There are several different levels of Pass rated credits, including “Watch” which is considered a transitory grade for pass rated loans that require greater monitoring. Loans not meeting the criteria of special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss that have been analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

• Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. Special Mention loans do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification as a Substandard, Doubtful or Loss classification, but possess weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.

• Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and can be characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

• Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

• Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent internal loan classification as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Commercial and Industrial		Construction, Land Development and Other Land		Commercial and Other Real Estate		Other		Total

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are evaluated by comparing the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, if the loan is not collateral dependent.

A valuation allowance is established for an impaired loan when the realizable value of the loan is less than the recorded investment. In certain cases, portions of impaired loans are charged-off to realizable value instead of establishing a valuation allowance and are included, when applicable, in the table below as impaired loans “with no specific allowance recorded.” The valuation allowance disclosed below is included in the allowance for loan loss reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following tables present, by loan portfolio segment, the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, for the dates and periods indicated (dollars in thousands). This table excludes purchased credit impaired loans (loans acquired in acquisitions with deteriorated credit quality) of $1.9 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company’s loan portfolio contains certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Loans are restructured in an effort to maximize collections. Economic concessions can include: reductions to the stated interest rate, payment extensions, principal forgiveness or other actions.

The modification process includes evaluation of impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan agreement, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the loan collateral. In these cases, management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, to evaluate the loan for impairment. If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs and unamortized premium or discount) impairment is recognized through a specific allowance or a charge-off.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for troubled debt restructured loans at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These tables include TDR loans that were purchased credit impaired (“PCI”). TDR loans that are non-PCI loans are included in the Impaired Loans tables above. As of March 31, 2016, there were two PCI loans that are considered to be TDR loans with a recorded investment of $131 thousand and unpaid principal balances of $316 thousand.

There were no loans modified or restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015.

There have been no payment defaults in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015 subsequent to modification on troubled debt restructured loans that have been modified within the last twelve months.

Loans are restructured in an effort to maximize collections. Impairment analyses are performed on the Company’s troubled debt restructured loans in conjunction with the normal allowance for loan loss process. The Company’s troubled debt restructured loans are analyzed to ensure adequate cash flow or collateral supports the outstanding loan balance.

There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Loans Acquired Through Acquisition

The following table reflects the accretable net discount for acquired loans for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Balance, beginning of period	$	14,610		$	21,402
Accretion, included in interest income		(1,133	)		(1,216	)
Reclassifications to non-accretable yield		(7	)		(109	)
Balance, end of period	$	13,470		$	20,077

The above table reflects the fair value adjustment on the loans acquired from mergers that will be amortized to loan interest income based on the effective yield method over the remaining life of the loans. These amounts do not include the fair value adjustments on the purchased credit impaired loans acquired from mergers.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

PCI loans are acquired loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it is probable at the acquisition date, that the Company will not be able to collect all contractually required amounts.

When the timing and/or amounts of expected cash flows on such loans are not reasonably estimable, no interest is accreted and the loan is reported as a non-accrual loan; otherwise, if the timing and amounts of expected cash flows for PCI loans are reasonably estimable, then interest is accreted and the loans are reported as accruing loans.

The non-accretable difference represents the difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows, and also reflects the estimated credit losses in the acquired loan portfolio at the acquisition date and can fluctuate due to changes in expected cash flows during the life of the PCI loans.

The following table reflects the outstanding balance and related carrying value of PCI loans as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Note 7 - Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments

The Company’s investment in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects that generate Low Income Housing Tax Credits (“LIHTC”) was $3.6 million at March 31, 2016 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2015. The funding liability for the LIHTC at March 31, 2016 was $1.0 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2015. The amount of tax credits and other tax benefits recognized was $573 thousand and $581 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Further, the amount of amortization expense included in the provision for income taxes was $448 thousand and $457 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. These investments and related tax credits are described more fully in Note 11 – Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 8 - Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company enters into certain transactions, the legal form of which are sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (“Repos”) at a later date at a set price. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within 1 day to 180 days from the issue date and are routinely renewed.

As discussed in Note 5 – Investment Securities, the Company has pledged certain investments as collateral for these agreements. Securities with a fair value of $45 million and $47 million were pledged to secure the Repos at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The tables below describe the terms and maturity of the Company’s securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2016
Date Issued	Amount		Interest Rate			Original Term		Maturity Date
March 31, 2016	$	21,967		0.125% – 0.25	%		1 day		April 01, 2016
Total	$	21,967		0.21	%

Total	$	14,360		0.19	%

FHLB Borrowings

The Company maintains a secured credit facility with the FHLB, allowing the Company to borrow on an overnight and term basis. The Company’s credit facility with the FHLB is $659 million, which represents approximately 25% of the Bank’s total assets, as reported by the Bank in its December 31, 2015 Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) Call Report.

Page 24 of 68

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $868 million of loan collateral pledged with the FHLB which provides $576 million in borrowing capacity. The Company has $19 million in investment securities pledged with the FHLB to support this credit facility. In addition, the Company must maintain an investment in the Capital Stock of the FHLB. Under the FHLB Act, the FHLB has a statutory lien on the FHLB capital stock that the Company owns and the FHLB capital stock serves as further collateral under the borrowing line.

The Company had no outstanding advances (borrowings) with the FHLB as of March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Subordinated Debentures

The following table summarizes the terms of each issuance of subordinated debentures outstanding as of March 31, 2016:

Series	Amount (in thousands)			Issuance Date		Maturity Date		Rate Index			Current Rate			Next Reset Date
Trust I	$	6,186			12/10/04		03/15/35		3 month LIBOR + 2.05	%		2.684	%		06/15/16
Trust II		3,093			12/23/05		03/15/36		3 month LIBOR + 1.75	%		2.384	%		06/15/16
Trust III		3,093			06/30/06		09/18/36		3 month LIBOR + 1.85	%		2.484	%		06/15/16
Subtotal		12,372
Unamortized fair value adjustment		(2,635	)
Net	$	9,737

The Company had an aggregate outstanding contractual balance of $12.4 million in subordinated debentures at March 31, 2016. These subordinated debentures were acquired as part of the PC Bancorp merger and were issued to trusts originally established by PC Bancorp, which in turn issued trust preferred securities. These subordinated debentures were issued in three separate series. Each issuance had a maturity of 30 years from their approximate date of issue. All three subordinated debentures are variable rate instruments that reprice quarterly based on the three month LIBOR plus a margin (see tables above). All three subordinated debentures had their interest rates reset in March 2016 at the current three month LIBOR plus their index, and will continue to reprice quarterly through their maturity date. All three subordinated debentures are currently callable at par with no prepayment penalties.

Under Dodd Frank, trust preferred securities are excluded from Tier 1 capital, unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. CU Bancorp assumed approximately $12.4 million of junior subordinated debt securities issued to various business trust subsidiaries of Premier Commercial Bancorp and funded through the issuance of approximately $12.0 million of floating rate capital trust preferred securities. These junior subordinated debt securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010. Because CU Bancorp has less than $15 billion in assets, the trust preferred securities that CU Bancorp assumed from Premier Commercial Bancorp continue to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to a limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital elements.

Interest payments made by the Company on subordinated debentures are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations. Notification to the FRB is required prior to the Company declaring and paying a dividend during any period in which the Company’s quarterly net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount. This notification requirement is included in regulatory guidance regarding safety and soundness surrounding capital and includes other non-financial measures such as asset quality, financial condition, capital adequacy, liquidity, future earnings projections, capital planning and credit concentrations. Should the FRB object to the dividend payments, the Company would be precluded from paying interest on the subordinated debentures after giving notice within 15 days before the payment date. Payments would not commence until approval is received or the Company no longer needs to provide notice under applicable guidance. The Company has the right, assuming no default has occurred, to defer payments of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The Company has not deferred any interest payments.

Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and utilizes interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The Company has two counterparty banks.

Derivative Financial Instruments Acquired from 1^st Enterprise Bank

At March 31, 2016, the Company has twelve interest rate swap agreements with customers and twelve offsetting interest-rate swaps with a counterparty bank that were acquired as a result of the merger with 1^st Enterprise on November 30, 2014. The swap agreements are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Company a variable-rate loan receivable and provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating significant interest rate risk in the Company’s earnings.

The structure of the swaps is as follows: The Company enters into a swap with its customers to allow them to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans, and at the same time, the Company enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allow the Company to pass on the interest-rate risk associated with fixed rate loans. The net effect of the transaction allows the Company to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the fair value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore should not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. Our interest rate swap derivatives acquired from 1^st Enterprise are subject to a master netting arrangement with one counterparty bank. None of our derivative assets and liabilities are offset in the balance sheet.

The Company believes the risk of loss associated with counterparty borrowers relating to interest rate swaps is mitigated as the loans with swaps are underwritten to take into account potential additional exposure, although there can be no assurances in this regard since the performance of the swaps is subject to market and counterparty risk. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total notional amount of the Company’s swaps with the counterparty bank was $27 million and $28 million, respectively.

The following tables present the fair values of the asset and liability of the Company’s derivative instruments acquired from 1^st Enterprise as of the dates and periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments Acquired from PC Bancorp

At March 31, 2016, the Company also has nineteen pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swaps that are designed to convert fixed rate loans into variable rate loans. The Company acquired these interest rate swap contracts on July 31, 2012 as a result of the merger with PC Bancorp.

All of the interest rate swap contracts acquired from PC Bancorp are with the same counterparty bank. The outstanding swaps have original maturities of up to 15 years.

The following table presents the notional amount and the fair values of the asset and liability of the Company’s derivative instruments acquired from PC Bancorp as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Net decrease in interest income on loans	$	5		$	(40	)

Under all of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts, the Company is required to pledge and maintain collateral for the credit support under these agreements. At March 31, 2016, the Company has pledged $1.9 million in investment securities, $2.7 million in certificates of deposit, for a total of $4.6 million, as collateral under the swap agreements.

Note 10 – Balance Sheet Offsetting

Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including derivatives, and securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”), may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets as permitted under accounting guidance. The Company’s interest rate swap derivatives are subject to a master bilateral netting and offsetting arrangement under specific conditions as defined within a master agreement governing all interest rate swap contracts that the Company and the counterparty banks have entered into. In addition, the master agreement under which the interest rate contracts have been written require the pledging of assets by the Company based on certain risk thresholds. The Company has pledged a certificate of deposit and investment securities as collateral under the swap agreements. The pledged collateral under the swap agreements are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, unless the Company defaults under the master agreement. The Company currently does not net or offset the interest rate swap contracts in its consolidated balance sheets, as reflected within the table below.

The Company’s securities sold under repurchase agreements represent transactions the Company has entered into with several deposit customers. These transactions represent the sale of securities on an overnight or on a term basis to our deposit customers under an agreement to repurchase the securities from the customers the next business day or at maturity. There is an individual contract for each customer with only one transaction per customer. There is no master agreement that provides for the netting arrangement or the offsetting of these individual transactions or for the netting of collateral positions. The Company does not net or offset the Repos in its consolidated balance sheets as reflected within the table below.

The table below presents the Company’s financial instruments that may be eligible for offsetting which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase that have no enforceable master netting arrangement and derivative securities that could be offset in the consolidated financial statements due to an enforceable master netting arrangement (dollars in thousands):

Note 11 - Stock Options and Restricted Stock

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company’s 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”) was adopted by the Company in 2007 and replaced two prior equity compensation plans. The Equity Plan provides for significant flexibility in determining the types and terms of awards that may be made to participants. The Equity Plan was revised and approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2011 and adopted by the Company as part of the Bank holding company reorganization. This plan is designed to promote the interest of the Company in aiding the Company to attract and retain employees, officers and non-employee directors who are expected to contribute to the future success of the organization. The Equity Plan is intended to provide participants with incentives to maximize their efforts on behalf of the Company through stock-based awards that provide an opportunity for stock ownership. This plan provides the Company with a flexible equity incentive compensation program, which allows the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock award units and performance units. Certain options and share awards provide for accelerated vesting, if there is a change in control, as defined in the Equity Plan. These plans are described more fully in Note 16 - Stock Options and Restricted Stock in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2016, future compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock grants are reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Future Restricted Stock Expense
Remainder of 2016	$	2,048
2017		1,034
2018		296
2019		36
Thereafter		—
Total	$	3,414

At March 31, 2016, the weighted-average period over which the total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants not yet recognized is 1.4 years. There was no future compensation expense related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2016. All stock options outstanding at March 31, 2016 are vested.

Page 29 of 68

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted by the Company since 2010.

The following table summarizes the share option activity under the plans as of the date and for the period indicated:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding stock options at December 31, 2015		557,471		$	10.57		0.8	$	8,248

Unvested options at March 31, 2016		—		$	—		—	$	—

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.9 million and $643 thousand, respectively.

Restricted Stock

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share in the table below is calculated by taking the total aggregate cost of the restricted shares issued divided by the number of shares of restricted stock issued. The aggregate cost of the restricted stock was calculated by multiplying the number of shares granted at each of the grant dates by the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity under the Equity Plan for the period indicated:

	Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Restricted Stock:
Unvested at December 31, 2015		311,458		$	19.29
Granted		41,809			22.65
Vested		(36,325	)		18.95
Cancelled and forfeited		(4,000	)		—
Unvested at March 31, 2016		312,942		$	20.02

Restricted stock compensation expense related to the restricted stock grants reflected in the table above was $776 thousand and $512 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Restricted stock awards reflected in the table above are valued at the closing stock price on the date of grant and are expensed to stock based compensation expense over the period for which the related service is performed. In 2015, the Company granted 40,000 shares of Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) under the Equity Plan to one of its executive officers. Such grant is reflected in the table above. The shares of common stock underlying the 40,000 shares of RSU will not be issued until the RSUs vest and are not included in the Company’s shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2016. The RSUs are valued at the closing stock price on the date of grant and are expensed to stock based compensation expense over the period for which the related service is performed.

Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Holders of shares of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters voted upon by shareholders. Furthermore, the holders of the Company’s common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for new issue securities, and shares of the Company’s common stock are not subject to redemption, conversion, or sinking fund provisions.

With respect to the payment of dividends, after the preferential dividends upon all other classes and series of stock entitled thereto have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, then the holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available under the laws of the State of California.

Upon the Company’s liquidation or dissolution, the assets legally available for distribution to holders of the Company’s shares of common stock, after payment of all the Company’s obligations and payment of any liquidation preference of all other classes and series of stock entitled thereto, including the Company’s preferred stock, are distributable ratably among the holders of the Company’s common stock.

During 2016, the Company issued 189,489 shares of stock from the exercise of employee stock options for a total value of $1.4 million. The Company also issued 41,809 shares of restricted stock to the Company’s directors and employees, cancelled 4,000 shares of unvested restricted stock related to employee turnover and cancelled 13,304 shares of restricted stock that had a value of $294 thousand when employees elected to pay their tax obligation via the repurchase of the stock by the Company. The net issuance of restricted stock for 2016 was 37,809 shares. The Equity Plan, as amended, allows employees to make an election to have a portion of their restricted stock that became vested during the year repurchased by the Company to provide funds to pay the employee’s tax obligation related to the vesting of the stock.

Preferred Stock

The Company completed the merger with 1^st Enterprise on November 30, 2014. As part of the Merger Agreement, 16,400 shares of preferred stock issued by 1^st Enterprise as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program of the United States Department of the Treasury was converted into 16,400 CU Bancorp preferred shares with substantially identical terms. CU Bancorp Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference amount of $1 thousand per share, designated as the Company’s Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. The U.S. Department of the Treasury is the sole holder of all outstanding shares of CU Bancorp Preferred Stock. The CU Bancorp Preferred Stock had an estimated life of four years and the fair value was $16 million at the merger date, resulting in a net discount of $479 thousand. The life-to-date and the year-to-date accretion on the net discount as of March 31, 2016 is $1.3 million and $153 thousand, respectively. The net carrying value of the CU Bancorp Preferred Stock is $17.1 million ($16.4 million plus of $0.7 million net premium) as of March 31, 2016.

Dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears if authorized and declared by the Company’s board of directors out of legally available funds, on a non-cumulative basis, on the $1 thousand per share liquidation preference amount. Dividends are payable on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. The current coupon dividend rate was adjusted to 9% on March 1, 2016 through perpetuity. However, the dividend yield through November 30, 2018 approximates 7% as a result of business combination accounting. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are non-cumulative. There is no sinking fund with respect to dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. So long as the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company may declare and pay dividends on the common stock only if full dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the most recently completed dividend period have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of the Company’s assets or proceeds available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders, subject to any rights of the Company’s creditors, before any distribution of assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of the common stock, payment of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the $1 thousand liquidation preference amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. To the extent the assets or proceeds available for distribution to shareholders are not sufficient to fully pay the liquidation payments owing to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any other class or series of the stock ranking equally with the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and such the Company’s stock will share ratably in the distribution. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no right to exchange or convert their shares into common stock or any other securities and do not have voting rights.

Note 14 - Fair Value Information

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including both those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value, and for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities not recorded at fair value, are discussed below.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are as follows:

• Level 1 – Observable unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 – Significant other observable market based inputs, other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. This includes quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, either directly or indirectly. This would include those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies where substantially all of the assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable market data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s evaluation about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets measured utilizing level 3 are for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, and or where valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and or non-transferability. These assumptions are not corroborated by market data. This is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources. Management uses a combination of reviews of the underlying financial statements, appraisals and management’s judgment regarding credit quality to determine the value of the financial asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management maximizes the use of observable inputs and attempts to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value measurements. The following is a description of both the general and specific valuation methodologies used for certain instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity: The fair value of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity may be determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets, when available, from nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 financial assets). If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the securities industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities which are observable market inputs (Level 2 financial assets). Debt securities’ pricing is generally obtained from one of the matrix pricing models developed from one of the three national pricing agencies. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts are classified as Level 3 financial assets.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at their current fair value rather than amortized historical cost. Unrealized gains or losses are excluded from net income and reported as an amount net of taxes as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in shareholders’ equity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are accounted for at their amortized historical cost.

Page 33 of 68

The Company considers the inputs utilized to fair value the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities to be observable market inputs and classified these financial assets within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Management bases the fair value for these investments primarily on third party price indications provided by independent pricing sources utilized by the Company’s bond accounting system to obtain market pricing on its individual securities. Vining Sparks, who provides the Company with its bond accounting system, utilizes pricing from three independent third party pricing sources for pricing of securities. These third party pricing sources utilize quoted market prices, or when quoted market prices are not available, the fair values are estimated using nationally recognized third-party vendor pricing models, of which the inputs are observable. However, the fair value reported may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in an actual market exchange.

The fair value of the Company’s U.S. Agency and available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities are calculated using an option adjusted spread model from one of the nationally recognized third-party pricing models. Depending on the assumptions used and the treasury yield curve and other interest rate assumptions, the fair value could vary significantly in the near term.

Loans: The fair value for loans is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, construction and other loans with similar credit characteristics and are further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate loan categories. Expected future cash flows are projected based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated credit losses and estimated prepayments. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of loans are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans is determined based on an evaluation at the time the loan is originally identified as impaired, and periodically thereafter, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value on impaired loans is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent, or based on the cash flows for non-collateral dependent loans discounted at the loan’s original effective rate. Collateral dependent loans may be secured by either real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and is determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and unobservable. For unsecured loans, the estimated future discounted cash flows of the business or borrower, are used in evaluating the fair value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired loans are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are provided by independent third party vendors that specialize in interest rate risk management and fair value analysis using a model that utilizes current market data to estimate cash flows of the interest rate swaps utilizing the future London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve for accruing and the future Overnight Index Swap Rate (“OIS”) yield curve for discounting through the maturity date of the interest rate swap contract. The future LIBOR yield curve is the primary input in the valuation of the interest rate swap contracts. Both the LIBOR and OIS yield curves are readily observable in the marketplace. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of other real estate owned is generally based on real estate appraisals (unless more current market information is available) less estimated costs to sell. 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. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of other real estate owned are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

SBA Servicing Asset: A servicing asset is recorded at fair value upon the sale of an SBA loan. The fair value of this asset is based on the estimated discounted future cash flows utilizing market based discount rates and estimated prepayment speeds. The discount rate was based on the current U.S. Treasury yield curve, plus a spread for marketplace risk associated with these assets. Prepayment speeds were selected based on the historical prepayments of similar SBA pools. The prepayment speeds determine the timing of the cash flows. The SBA servicing asset is amortized over the contractual life of the loans based on an effective yield approach.

Page 34 of 68

In addition, the Company’s servicing asset is evaluated regularly for impairment by discounting the estimated future cash flows using market-based discount rates and prepayment speeds. If the calculated present value of the servicing asset declines below the Company’s current carrying value, the servicing asset is written down to its present value. Based on the Company’s methodology in its valuation of the SBA servicing asset, the current carrying value is estimated to approximate the fair value. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of SBA servicing asset are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-Maturing Deposits: The fair values for non-maturing deposits (deposits with no contractual termination date), which include non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts, money market deposits and savings accounts are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amounts payable on demand. Because the carrying value and fair value are by definition identical, and accordingly non-maturity deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, these balances are not listed in the following tables.

Maturing Deposits: The fair values of fixed maturity certificates of deposit (time deposits) are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market deposit interest rates to the Company’s current certificates of deposit interest rates for similar term certificates. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of maturing deposits are observable and accordingly, these financial liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase (“Repos”): The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is estimated based on the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits. The carrying amounts of Repos with maturities of 90 days or less approximate their fair values. The fair value of Repos with maturities greater than 90 days is estimated based on the discounted value of the contractual future cash flows. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are observable and accordingly, these financial liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Subordinated Debentures: The fair value of the three variable rate subordinated debentures (“debentures”) is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the three month LIBOR plus the margin index at March 31, 2016, to the cash flows from the debentures, based on the actual interest rate the debentures were accruing at March 31, 2016. Because all three of the debentures re-priced on March 16, 2016 based on the current three month LIBOR index rate plus the index margin at that date, and with relatively little to no change in the three month LIBOR index rate from the re-pricing date through March 31, 2016, the current face value of the debentures and their calculated fair value are approximately equal. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of subordinated debentures are observable and accordingly, these financial liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Commitments: Loan commitments that are priced on an index plus a margin to a market rate of interest are reported at the carrying value of the loan commitment. Loan commitments on which the committed fixed interest rate is less than the current market rate were insignificant at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015 the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis that required the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, there were no transfers of assets either between Level 1 and Level 2 nor in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets measured on a recurring basis for the period ended March 31, 2016.

Page 36 of 68

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company may be required periodically, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of or during the period.

There were no transfers of assets either between Level 1 and Level 2 nor in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets measured on a non-recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or on a non-recurring basis. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value has been described above.

The table below presents the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments based on their fair value hierarchy indicated (dollars in thousands):

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC, to the maximum amount allowed by law.

Total assets increased $105 million or 4% from December 31, 2015 to $2.7 billion mainly due to deposit growth of $89 million and earnings available to common shareholders of $6 million. Loan growth during the period was concentrated primarily in Other Nonresidential Property loans of $30 million, Construction, Land Development and Other Land loans of $31 million and Owner-Occupied Nonresidential Properties of $15 million. Funding the loan growth of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $24 million and money market and savings deposits of $71 million. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, non-interest bearing deposits represented 55% and 56% of total deposits, respectively. Tangible book value per common share was $13.05, $12.67 and $11.65 at March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions, and other subjective assessments. We have identified several accounting policies that, due to judgments, estimates, and assumptions inherent in those policies, are essential to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to the accounting for business combinations, evaluation of goodwill for impairment, methodologies that determine our allowance for loan loss, the valuation of impaired loans, the classification and valuation of investment securities, accounting for derivatives financial instruments and hedging activities, and accounting for income taxes.

Our critical accounting policies are described in greater detail in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. We believe that our most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessment, are as follows:

Business Combinations

The Company has a number of fair value adjustments recorded within the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2016 that relate to the business combinations with California Oaks State Bank “COSB”, Premier Commercial Bancorp “PC Bancorp” and 1^st Enterprise Bank “1^st Enterprise” on December 31, 2010, July 31, 2012 and November 30, 2014, respectively. These fair value adjustments includes goodwill, fair value adjustments on loans, core deposit intangible assets, other intangible assets, fair value adjustments to acquired lease obligations, fair value adjustments to certificates of deposit and fair value adjustments on derivatives. The assets and liabilities acquired through acquisitions have been accounted for at fair value as of the date of the acquisition. The goodwill that was recorded on the transactions represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for impairment on October 1st of each year. If an event occurs or circumstances change that result in the Company’s fair value declining below its book value, the Company would perform an impairment analysis at that time.

Page 41 of 68

Based on the Company’s 2015 goodwill impairment analysis, no impairment to goodwill has occurred. The Company is a sole reporting unit for evaluation of goodwill.

The core deposit intangibles on non-maturing deposits, which represent the intangible value of depositor relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed through acquisitions, are being amortized over the projected useful lives of the deposits. The weighted average remaining life of the core deposit intangible is estimated at approximately 7 years at March 31, 2016. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Loans acquired through acquisition are recorded at fair value at acquisition date without a carryover of the related Allowance. Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans are acquired loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it is probable, at the acquisition date, that the Company will not be able to collect all contractually required amounts. When the timing and/or amounts of expected cash flows on such loans are not reasonably estimable, no interest is accreted and the loan is reported as a non-accrual loan; otherwise, if the timing and amounts of expected cash flows for PCI loans are reasonably estimable, then interest is accreted and the loans are reported as accruing loans. The non-accretable difference represents the difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows, and also reflects the estimated credit losses in the acquired loan portfolio at the acquisition date and can fluctuate due to changes in expected cash flows during the life of the PCI loans. For non-PCI loans, loan fair value adjustments consist of an interest rate premium or discount on each individual loan and are amortized to loan interest income based on the effective yield method over the remaining life of the loans. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows for both PCI and non-PCI loans will result in a provision for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Loss

The allowance for loan loss (“Allowance”) is established by a provision for loan losses that is charged against income, increased by charges to expense and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Loan charge-offs are charged against the Allowance when management believes the collectability of loan principal becomes unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the Allowance.

The Allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated charge-offs related to specifically identified loans, as well as probable loan charge-offs inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectability of existing loans and prior loss experience. Management carefully monitors changing economic conditions, the concentrations of loan categories and collateral, the financial condition of the borrowers, the history of the loan portfolio, as well as historical peer group loan loss data to determine the adequacy of the Allowance. The Allowance is based upon estimates, and actual charge-offs may vary from the estimates. No assurance can be given that adverse future economic conditions will not lead to delinquent loans, increases in the provision for loan losses and/or charge-offs. These evaluations are inherently subjective, as they require estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as conditions change. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, may require changes to the Allowance based on their judgment about information available at the time of their examinations. Management believes that the Allowance as of March 31, 2016 is adequate to absorb known and probable losses in the loan portfolio.

The Allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are categorized as impaired. For loans that are categorized as impaired, a specific allowance is established when the realizable value of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on the type of loan and historical charge-off experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

While the general allowance covers all non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for the various qualitative factors, the change in the Allowance from one reporting period to the next may not directly correlate to the rate of change of nonperforming loans for the following reasons:

• A loan moving from the impaired performing status to an impaired non-performing status does not mandate an automatic increase in allowance. The individual loan is evaluated for a specific allowance requirement when the loan moves to the impaired status, not when the loan moves to non-performing status. In addition, the impaired loan is reevaluated at each subsequent reporting period. Impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the Company may measure impairment based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Page 42 of 68

• Not all impaired loans require a specific allowance. The payment performance of the borrower may require an impaired classification, but the collateral evaluation may support adequate collateral coverage. For a number of impaired loans in which borrower performance is in question, the collateral coverage may be sufficient. In those instances, neither a general allowance nor a specific allowance is assessed.

Investment Securities

The Company currently classifies its investment securities under the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity classifications. Under the available-for-sale classification, securities can be sold in response to certain conditions, such as changes in interest rates, changes in the credit quality of the securities, when the credit quality of a security does not conform with current investment policy guidelines, fluctuations in deposit levels or loan demand or need to restructure the portfolio to better match the maturity or interest rate characteristics of liabilities with assets. Securities classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at their current fair value rather than amortized cost. Unrealized gains or losses are excluded from net income and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in shareholders’ equity. Under the held-to-maturity classification, if the Company has the intent and the ability at the time of purchase to hold these securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at amortized cost.

As of each reporting date, the Company evaluates the securities portfolio to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on each of the individual securities in the investment securities portfolio. If it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security not impaired at acquisition, an OTTI shall be considered to have occurred. Once an OTTI is considered to have occurred, the credit portion of the loss is required to be recognized in current earnings, while the non-credit portion of the loss is recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

In estimating whether an other-than-temporary impairment loss has occurred, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) the current liquidity and volatility of the market for each of the individual security categories, (iv) the current slope and shape of the Treasury yield curve, along with where the economy is in the current interest rate cycle, (v) the spread differential between the current spread and the long-term average spread for that security category, (vi) the projected cash flows from the specific security type, (vii) any financial guarantee and financial condition of the guarantor and (viii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issue for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

If it’s determined that an OTTI exists on a debt security, the Company then determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Company will recognize the amount of the OTTI in earnings equal to the difference between the security’s fair value and its adjusted cost basis. If neither of the conditions is met, the Company determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of total impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income. Significant judgment is required in this analysis that includes, but is not limited to assumptions regarding the collectability of principal and interest, future default rates, future prepayment speeds, the amount of current delinquencies that will result in defaults and the amount of eventual recoveries expected on the underlying collateral.

Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the expected maturity term of the securities. For mortgage-backed securities, the amortization or accretion is based on estimated average lives of the securities. The lives of these securities can fluctuate based on the amount of prepayments received on the underlying collateral of the securities. The amount of prepayments varies from time to time based on the interest rate environment and the rate of turnover of mortgages.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

All derivative instruments (interest rate swap contracts) were recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at their current fair value. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815 establishes the accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. ASC Topic 815 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

On the date a derivative contract is entered into by the Company, the Company will designate the derivative contract as either a fair value hedge (i.e. a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability), a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability), or a stand-alone derivative (i.e. an instrument with no hedging designation). For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the income statement when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported currently in earnings, as other non-interest income. At inception and on an ongoing basis, the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are evaluated as to how effective they are in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

The Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item, the derivative expires or is sold, is terminated, or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the Company will continue to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value (if applicable), but will no longer adjust the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value. The adjustments of the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability will be accounted for in the same manner as other components of the carrying amount of that asset or liability, and the adjustments are amortized to interest income over the remaining life of the hedged item upon the termination of hedge accounting.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for current federal and state income taxes payable and for deferred taxes that result from differences between financial accounting rules and tax laws governing the timing of recognition of various income and expense items. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the future tax effects of such temporary differences based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of the existing assets and liabilities using the statutory rate expected in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of any enacted change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to the extent necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to the level at which it is “more likely than not” that the tax assets or benefits will be realized. Realization of tax benefits for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards depends on having sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period and that current tax law will allow for the realization of those tax benefits.

The Company is required to account for uncertainty associated with the tax positions it has taken or expects to be taken on past, current and future tax returns. Where there may be a degree of uncertainty as to the tax realization of an item, the Company may only record the tax effects (expense or benefits) from an uncertain tax position in the consolidated financial statements if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Management does not believe that it has any material uncertain tax positions taken to date that are not more likely than not to be realized. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of other operating expense.

(2) Return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity for the period. See the tables for return on average tangible common equity calculation and reconciliation to average common equity.

(3) Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percent of interest earning assets.

(4) Efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percent of net interest income plus non-interest income, excluding gain on sale of securities, net.

Average Tangible Common Equity (TCE) Calculation and Reconciliation to Total Average Shareholders’ Equity

The Company utilizes the term TCE, a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company’s management believes TCE is useful because it is a measure utilized by both regulators and market analysts in evaluating the Company’s financial condition and capital strength. TCE represents common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and certain intangible assets. Return on Average Tangible Common Equity represents annualized net income available to common shareholders as a percent of average tangible common equity. A calculation of the Company’s Return on Average Tangible Common Equity is provided in the table below for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Operations Performance Summary

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $6.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $2.1 million increase, or 52%, was primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in net interest income after provision for loan

Page 45 of 68

losses, offset by a $1.5 million increase in provision for income tax expense. The increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses was mainly driven by strong organic loan growth. The increase in income tax expense is directionally consistent with the increase in profitability while the effective tax rates are comparable for both periods. Non-interest income increased by $212 thousand or 8.1% and non-interest expense had a modest increase of $274 thousand, or 1.8%. Salaries and other benefits expense increased $1.0 million, or 10.9%, as the Company’s active full-time equivalent employees grew to 273 at March 31, 2016, an increase of 20 from March 31, 2015. Increase in salaries and other benefits were offset by a decrease of $371 thousand in legal and professional expense and decrease of $240 thousand in merger expense, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Volume and Rate Variance Analysis of Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense due to changes in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to: (i) changes in days (i.e. changes in days multiplied by prior period interest income/expense) (ii) changes in volume (i.e. changes in average balance multiplied by prior period rate) and (iii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by prior period average balance). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the absolute dollar amounts of the changes due to volume and rate (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 vs. 2015

Reconciliation of Core Net Interest Margin to Net Interest Margin

The following table represents a reconciliation of GAAP net interest margin to core net interest margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) used by the Company. The table presents the information for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Net Interest Income	$	23,478		$	20,642
Less:
Accelerated accretion of fair value adjustment on early loan payoffs and other associated payoff benefits on acquired loans		651			110
Income recognition due to early payoff of organic loans		—			201
Core Net Interest Income	$	22,827		$	20,331
Net interest margin		3.77	%		3.95	%
Core net interest margin		3.67	%		3.90	%

Although the core net interest margin declined due to average deposits growing faster than average loans, core net interest income grew by $2.5 million, or 12%, which is reflected in the growth in net income.

Net deferred loan fees on organic loans		5,221		4,575
Total	$	19,427	$	21,492

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

The net interest margin decreased 18 basis points to 3.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 3.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in net interest margin is primarily due to average loans being a lower percentage of interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 than for the same quarter a year ago.

Net interest margin for both quarters were positively impacted by the recognition of fair value discounts earned on early payoffs of acquired loans. For the quarter ended March 31, 2016 the Company recorded $528 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs, and prepayment penalty fees of $123 thousand on acquired loans, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 11 basis points. In the first quarter of 2015 the Company recorded $110 thousand in discounts earned on early loan payoffs of acquired loans, and other payoff benefits of $201 thousand, which had a positive impact on the net interest margin of 6 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $622 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company had $90 million of net organic loan growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $67 million for the same quarter a year ago. Net recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $241 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $806 thousand in 2015. The loan loss provision reflects strong organic loan growth during the quarter, with the benefit of the net recovery from a loan charged off a couple of years ago.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Non-interest expense increased modestly by $274 thousand or 1.8% to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was largely related to increases in salaries and employee benefits, as the Company’s active full-time equivalent employees grew to 273 at March 31, 2016, an increase of 20 from the year-ago period end. Much of the growth in headcount, and related salaries and benefits, over the last year has been to support the Company’s double-digit loan and deposit growth, as well as the Company’s significant increase in customer relationships. The $321 thousand increase in stock based compensation expense is primarily due to the adoption of the 2015 Management Incentive Plan in March 2015, which impacted the comparability between the two periods. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was offset by a $371 thousand decrease in legal and professional fees, a $240 thousand decrease in merger expenses and a $101 thousand decrease in core deposit intangible amortization. The decreases are a result of a full year past the merger.

After five quarters of flat operating expenses while growing the Company over 10%, the Company expects future increases to personnel and infrastructure expenses in order to support its increasing size and increasing regulatory requirements.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 40.1% compared to 39.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The effective tax rate increase from 2015 is primarily attributable to BOLI income as a lower proportion to pre-tax income and lower deductions from disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options in 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate is impacted by BOLI income and interest income from tax exempt securities and loans which are excluded from taxable income. In addition, the Company has invested in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects “LIHTC” that generate tax credits and benefits for the Company. The Company operates in the Federal and California jurisdictions and the blended statutory tax rate for Federal and California income taxes is 42.05%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets increased $105 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $2.7 billion with an increase of $78 million in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $36 million in loans, mainly driven by an $89 million increase in total deposits during the quarter. The increase in loans from the prior quarter was due to organic loan growth. Net organic loan growth during the period was $90 million, partially offset by $54 million in runoff of purchased loans from the COSB, PC Bancorp acquisitions and 1^st Enterprise merger.

Funding the asset growth for the Company for the first three months of 2016 was the growth in deposits of $89 million and earnings of $6.3 million. Further, the deposit growth of $89 million is the result of a $24 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits and a $72 million increase in money market and savings deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits represented 55% of total deposits at March 31, 2016, and 56% at December 31, 2015.

The Company’s loan origination and lending activities continue to be focused primarily on direct contact with its borrowers through the Company’s relationship managers and/or executive officers. Total loans were $1.9 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of $36 million or 2.0%, from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2015. The Company had approximately $90 million of net organic loan growth, which was partially offset by approximately $54 million in loan run-off from the acquired loan portfolios. The increase in total loans from the end of the prior quarter included a $31 million increase in the construction, land development and other land portfolio, a $30 million increase in the other nonresidential real estate properties portfolio, and a $15 million increase in the owner-occupied nonresidential properties portfolio. These increases were offset by a decrease of $41 million in commercial and industrial loans.

We continue to establish new relationships and expand our current business, as evidenced by our increased commercial line of credit commitments, which are up $102 million, or 13% from $795 million at March 31, 2015 to $897 million at March 31, 2016. Compared to December 31, 2015, commercial line of credit commitments increased by $11 million or 1% from $887 million at December 31, 2015 to $897 million at March 31, 2016. However, due to the dynamic nature of commercial and industrial lending, actual credit utilization may experience ebbs and flows.

Commercial and industrial line of credit commitments increased $102 million from the prior quarter; however, commercial and industrial loans outstanding declined $41 million from the prior quarter. The Company’s commercial and industrial line of credit utilization was 41% as of March 31, 2016 and 46% as of December 31, 2015, reflecting the strength of our business customers’ balance sheets. At March 31, 2016, commercial and industrial loans, and owner-occupied real estate loans combined were $920 million or 49% of total loans, compared to $945 million or 52% at December 31, 2015. Of the total commercial and industrial loans, 19% was unsecured at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Included in loan growth in the first quarter of 2016 was a $31 million increase in the construction lending portfolio, which consists predominantly of 1-4 single family and multifamily construction projects in Los Angeles County undertaken by customers that have long-term relationships with the Company.

Other non-residential loans increased $30 million; these are loans with well-structured terms and guarantees, primarily collateralized by commercial buildings.

Page 53 of 68

The Company had 54 commercial banking relationship managers and 9 commercial real estate relationship managers at March 31, 2016. This compares to 53 commercial banking relationship managers and 9 commercial real estate relationship managers at December 31, 2015.

The Company provides commercial loans, including working capital and equipment financing real estate loans, including construction and consumer loans, generally to business principals, entrepreneurs and professionals. The Company currently does not offer residential mortgages to consumers other than home equity lines of credit. In addition, we have not made any loans to finance leveraged buyouts. The Company’s real estate construction loans are primarily short-term loans made to finance the construction of commercial real estate and multifamily residential property. On occasion, the Company originates loans to finance the construction of single family residences to established developers and owner-occupiers. The Company does not engage in any single family tract development lending to real estate developers. The Company’s construction lending is to known relationships, doing projects the builder/developer has experience with the majority are with recourse and are rarely speculative in nature. The Company’s lending has been originated primarily through direct contact with the borrowers by the Company’s relationship managers and/or executive officers. The Company’s credit approval process includes an examination of the collateral, cash flow and debt service coverage of the loan, as well as the financial condition and credit references of the borrower and guarantors, where applicable. The Company’s senior management is actively involved in its lending activities, collateral valuation and review process. The Company obtains independent third party appraisals of loans secured by real property as required by applicable federal law and regulations. There is also a Board of Directors Loan Committee (“BODLC”) comprised of senior management and outside directors that monitors the loan portfolio on at least a quarterly basis.

The Company believes that it manages credit risk closely in its loan portfolio and uses a variety of policy and procedure guidelines and analytical tools to achieve its asset quality objectives.

We do not have any concentrations in our loan portfolio except for the level of loans that are secured by real estate and the level of loans to the real estate industry as presented in the tables above. Although the Bank’s real estate concentration this quarter ending March 31, 2016 exceed 300% of total risk based capital for the first time, the Company has maintained its relationship based approach to lending which has resulted in nominal charge-off experience in the real estate portfolio since the Company’s inception. Management plans to continue originating the same quality real estate loans that are currently included in its loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Loss

The Allowance increased by $863 thousand, to $17 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, due to a provision for loan losses of $622 thousand and net recoveries of $241 thousand. The Allowance as a percentage of total loans was 0.89% at March 31, 2016 and 0.86% at December 31, 2015. The Allowance as a percentage of loans (excluding loan balances and the related Allowance on loans acquired through acquisition) was 1.23% and 1.25%, respectively, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The decrease in the allowance ratio related to organic loans was directly attributable to the gradual improvements in the economic conditions within the Company’s markets, as well as a continued low level of non-performing assets of 0.07% at March 31, 2016.

The Company’s management considered the following factors in evaluating the allowance for loan loss at March 31, 2016:

• During the three months ended March 31, 2016 there were loan recoveries of $241 thousand

• There were no loan charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2016

• There were eleven non-accrual loans totaling $1.8 million

• The overall growth and composition of the loan portfolio

• Changes to the overall economic conditions within the markets in which the Company makes loans

• Concentrations within the loan portfolio, as well as risk conditions within its commercial and industrial loan portfolio

• The remaining fair value adjustments on loans acquired through acquisition with special attention to the fair value adjustments associated with the purchased credit impaired loans

Management has considered various material elements of potential risk within the loan portfolio, including classified credits, pools of loans with similar characteristics, economic factors, trends in the loan portfolio and changes in the Company’s lending policies, procedures and underwriting criteria. In addition, management recognized the potential for unforeseen events to occur when evaluating the qualitative factors in all categories of its analysis.

The Company analyzes historical net charge-offs in various loan portfolio segments when evaluating the allowance. For loan segments without a meaningful historical loss experience, the analysis is adjusted to consider regulatory peer group loss experience in those loan segments. The loss analysis is then adjusted for qualitative factors that may have an impact on loss experience in the particular loan segments.

The Allowance and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments are significant estimates that can and do change based on management’s process in analyzing the loan portfolio and on management’s assumptions about specific borrowers and applicable economic and environmental conditions, among other factors. In considering all of the above factors, management believes that the Allowance at March 31, 2016 is adequate. Although the Company maintains its Allowance at a level which it considers adequate to provide for probable loan losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely affecting future results of operations.

Loans acquired through acquisition are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related Allowance. Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality are loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect principal and interest payments according to contractual terms. These loans are accounted for under ASC Subtopic 310-30 Receivables – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include factors such as past due and non-accrual status. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the credit loss or non accretable yield. Further, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses.

Deposits

The following table presents the balance of each major category of deposits at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2016					December 31, 2015
	Amount		% of Total			Amount		% of Total
Non-interest bearing demand deposits	$	1,312,298		55	%	$	1,288,085		56	%
Interest bearing transaction accounts		257,981		11	%		261,123		11	%

Total deposits	$	2,375,884		100	%	$	2,286,791		100	%

Total deposits increased $89 million to $2.4 billion at March 31, 2016, primarily due to a $24 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits, and a $72 million increase in money market and savings deposits, offset by a decrease of $3 million in interest bearing transaction accounts and a decrease of $4 million in certificates of deposit. The strong growth in deposits during the quarter came primarily from existing relationships. Further, the increase in total deposits during the first quarter of 2016 is likely related to customers accumulating cash in anticipation of federal and state income tax payments, as well as county property taxes in California. Non-interest bearing deposits represented 55% and 56% of total deposits at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Management believes one of the strengths of the Company continues to be its core deposit franchise with a cost of deposits of 0.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Total secondary liquidity	$	684,137		$	634,840

As of March 31, 2016, the Company’s primary overnight source of liquidity consisted of the balances reflected in the table above. The Company’s primary liquidity consisted of cash and due from banks and interest-earning deposits at financial institutions. The amount of funds maintained directly with the Federal Reserve included in interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions was $186 million and $102 million, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The next source of liquidity is the money market accounts at other banks. Furthermore, the Company has collateralized borrowings and unsecured borrowing facilities. In addition, the Company has $54 million of certificates of deposits in other financial institutions where the average maturity is approximately 6.6 months that could be utilized over time to supplement the liquidity needs of the Company.

The Company’s long term source of funding has come from the liability side of the balance sheet and has historically been through the growth in non-interest bearing and interest bearing core deposits from new and existing customers. Additional sources of funds from the Company’s asset side of the balance sheet include payments of principal and interest on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled principal amortization on loans are a reasonably predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

As an additional source of liquidity, the Company maintains credit facilities, “Fed Funds Borrowing Lines,” of $72 million with its primary correspondent banks for the purchase of overnight Federal funds. The lines are subject to availability of funds and have restrictions as to the number of days and length used during a month, $5 million of these credit facilities require the pledging of investment securities.

The Company has established a secured credit facility with the FHLB of San Francisco which allows the Bank to borrow up to 25% of the Bank’s total assets, which equates to a credit line of approximately $659 million at March 31, 2016. The Company currently has no outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $868 million of loan collateral pledged with the FHLB. This level of loan collateral would provide the Company with $576 million in borrowing capacity. The Company also had $19 million in securities serving as collateral for an additional $18 million in borrowing capacity. Any amount of borrowings in excess of the $594 million, up to the Company’s borrowing capacity of $659 million, would require the Company to pledge additional collateral. In addition, the Company must

Page 58 of 68

maintain a certain investment in the common stock of the FHLB. The Company’s investment in the common stock of the FHLB is $8 million at March 31, 2016. This level of capital would allow the Company to borrow up to $297 million of the $659 million. Any advances from the FHLB in excess of the $297 million would require additional purchases of FHLB common stock.

The Company maintains a secured credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRBSF”) which is collateralized by investment securities pledged with the FRBSF. At March 31, 2016, the Company’s available borrowing capacity was $19 million.

The Company maintains investments in short term certificates of deposit with other financial institutions, with an average remaining maturity of approximately 6.6 months, with various balances maturing monthly. The Company had balances of $54 million and $57 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016, $ 2.7 million of the Company’s certificates of deposit with other financial institutions were pledged as collateral as credit support for the interest rate swap contracts and are not available as a source of liquidity.

The Company’s commitments to extend credit (off-balance sheet liquidity risk) are agreements to lend funds to customers as long as there are no covenant violations as established in the loan agreement. The total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk for the Company include both undisbursed loan commitments, as well as undisbursed letters of credit. The Company’s exposure to extend credit was $891 million and $806 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The holding company liquidity on a stand-alone basis was $7.4 million and $6.8 million, in cash on deposit at the Bank, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Management believes this amount of cash is currently sufficient to fund the holding company’s cash flow needs over at least the next twelve to twenty four months.

DIVIDENDS

To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock. Payment of stock or cash dividends in the future will depend upon earnings, liquidity, financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Notification to the FRB is required prior to declaring and paying a dividend to shareholders that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid. This notification requirement is included in regulatory guidance regarding safety and soundness surrounding capital and includes other non-financial measures such as asset quality, financial condition, capital adequacy, liquidity, future earnings projections, capital planning and credit concentrations. Should the FRB object to dividend payments, the Company would be precluded from declaring and paying dividends, until approval is received or the Company no longer needs to provide notice under applicable guidance.

California law also limits the Company’s ability to pay dividends. A corporation may make a distribution/dividend from retained earnings to the extent that the retained earnings exceed (a) the amount of the distribution plus (b) the amount if any, of dividends in arrears on shares with preferential dividend rights. Alternatively, a corporation may make a distribution/dividend, if, immediately after the distribution, the value of its assets equals or exceeds the sum of (a) its total liabilities plus (b) the liquidation preference of any shares which have a preference upon dissolution over the rights of shareholders receiving the distribution/dividend.

The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be declared without regulatory approval. Such dividends shall not exceed the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any distributions to the shareholder made during such period). In addition, the Bank may not pay dividends that would result in its capital being reduced below the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes.

The Company completed the merger with 1^st Enterprise on November 30, 2014. As part of the Merger Agreement, 16,400 shares of preferred stock issued by 1^st Enterprise as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program of the United States Department of the Treasury was converted into 16,400 CU Bancorp preferred shares with substantially identical terms. CU Bancorp Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference amount of $1 thousand per share, designated as the Company’s Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. The U.S. Department of the Treasury is the sole holder of all outstanding shares of CU Bancorp Preferred Stock.

Dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears if authorized and declared by the Company’s board of directors out of legally available funds, on a non-cumulative basis, on the $1 thousand per share liquidation preference amount. Dividends are payable on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. The current coupon dividend rate was adjusted to 9% on March 1, 2016 through perpetuity. However, the dividend yield through November 30, 2018 approximates 7% as a result of business combination accounting. The Company may from time to time evaluate if a partial or full payment to redeem the Preferred Stock is appropriate in capital management. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are non-cumulative. There is no sinking fund with respect to dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. So long as the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company may declare and pay dividends on the common stock only if full dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the most recently completed dividend period have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid.

As of March 31, 2016, both CU Bancorp “the holding company” and the Bank had positive retained earnings and positive net income that would allow either of them to declare and pay a dividend as of March 31, 2016. However, neither the holding company nor the Bank has plans to declare and pay a cash dividend on the common stock at the current time.

The Company has a program to repurchase a portion of an employee’s outstanding restricted stock upon the vesting of this restricted stock, but only in amounts necessary to cover the minimum employee tax withholding obligations at the option of the restricted stockholder (employee). The Company had this program in place during all of 2015 and through the three months ending March 31, 2016. This program was designed to provide the Bank’s employees with the financial ability to cover their tax liability obligation associated with the vesting of their restricted stock at the date of vesting. These transactions under the State of California Corporations Code are defined as distributions to shareholders.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Capital Resources

The Company’s objective is to maintain a level of capital that will support sustained asset and loan growth, provide for anticipated credit risks, and ensure that regulatory guidelines and industry standards are met. The Company and the Bank are subject to certain minimum capital adequacy and minimum well capitalized category guidelines adopted by the FRB and the FDIC. These guidelines relate primarily to the Tier 1 leverage ratio, the Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio (“CET1”), the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the Total risk-based capital ratio.

On October 26, 2015, the Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement for offerings up to $100 million of certain types of securities. If drawn on, proceeds from the offering could be used for general corporate purposes. The registration statement represents capital resources available to the Company once the registration statement is deemed to be effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and will be available for three years.

At March 31, 2016, the respective capital ratios of the Company and the Bank exceeded the minimum percentage requirements to be deemed “well-capitalized” for Prompt Corrective Action (“PCA”) purpose and the Basel III minimum capital ratios with buffer (effective January 1, 2016) under the current capital guidelines. The following tables present the regulatory capital ratios requirements and the actual capitalization levels of the Company and the Bank as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted final regulations which revised their risk-based and leverage capital requirements for banking organizations to meet requirements of Dodd-Frank and to implement international agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision intended to improve both the quality and quantity of banking organizations’ capital (“Basel III”). Dodd-Frank required the Federal Reserve to apply consolidated capital requirements to depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent than those currently applied to depository institutions.

The following are among the requirements that were phased-in beginning January 1, 2015 under the new capital rules:

• an increase in the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio from 4.00% to 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;

• a new category and a required 4.50% of risk-weighted assets ratio is established for CET1 as a subset of Tier 1 capital limited to common equity;

• a minimum non-risk-based leverage ratio is set at 4.00%;

• changes in the permitted composition of Tier 1 capital to exclude trust preferred securities (however, trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets, such as CU Bancorp, continues to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to a limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital elements; see further discussion below), mortgage servicing rights and certain deferred tax assets and include unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt and equity securities;

• the risk-weights of certain assets for purposes of calculating the risk-based capital ratios are changed for high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans, certain past due non-residential mortgage loans and certain mortgage-backed and other securities exposures;

• an additional “countercyclical capital buffer” is required for larger and more complex institutions; and

• a new additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk weighted assets over the period from 2016 to 2019 must be met to avoid limitations on the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.

Including the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, the new final capital rule will result in the following minimum ratios: (i) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, (ii) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement phase-in began in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year by 0.625% until fully implemented in January 2019. While the final capital rule sets higher regulatory capital standards for the Company and the Bank, bank regulators may also continue their past policies of expecting banks to maintain additional capital beyond the new minimum requirements. The implementation of the final capital rules or more stringent requirements to maintain higher levels of capital or to maintain higher levels of liquid assets could adversely impact the Company’s net income and return on equity, restrict the ability to pay dividends or executive bonuses and require the raising of additional capital.

Under Dodd Frank, trust preferred securities are excluded from Tier 1 capital, unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. CU Bancorp assumed approximately $12.4 million of junior subordinated debt securities issued to various business trust subsidiaries of Premier Commercial Bancorp and funded through the issuance of approximately $12.0 million of floating rate capital trust preferred securities. These junior subordinated debt securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010. Because CU Bancorp has less than $15 billion in assets, the trust preferred securities that CU Bancorp assumed from Premier Commercial Bancorp continues to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to a limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital elements.

The Company also currently includes in its Tier 1 capital an amount of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued under the SBLF program. The U.S. Department of the Treasury is the sole holder of all outstanding shares of CU Bancorp Preferred Stock. Under the Final Rule, the CU Bancorp Preferred Stock continues to be included in Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital because non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock remained classified as Tier 1 capital following the enactment of Dodd Frank.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the Company’s balance sheet is managed with the objective of correlating the movements of interest rates on loans and investments with those of deposits and borrowings.

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed by the Company’s management Asset/Liability Committee formally on a quarterly basis and on an ongoing basis. The main tool used to monitor interest rate risk is a dynamic simulation model that quantifies the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on interest income from all interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on all interest bearing liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to the Company’s policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 100 and 400 basis point upward and 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates.

At March 31, 2016, the Company had nineteen pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate contracts that were designed to convert fixed rate loans into variable rate loans. Seventeen of these swap contacts are designated as fair value hedges. For additional information on these interest rate contracts, see Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments located in Part I, Item 1. – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. Management believes that the Company’s market risk is reasonable at this time.

The following depicts the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

Simulated Rate Changes	Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity
+ 400 basis points		34.4	%	$	29,128
+ 100 basis points		8.5	%	$	7,162
- 200 basis points (1)		(7.9	)%	$	(6,652	)

(1) The simulated rate change under the -200 basis points reflected above actually reflects only a maximum negative 25 basis points or less decline in actual rates based on the current targeted Fed Funds target rate by the government of 0.25% to 0.50%. The -200 simulation model reflects repricing of liabilities of less than 0.25% due to the Company paying significantly less than 25 basis points on its deposit accounts, and higher downward repricing of the Company’s interest-earning assets in the -200 simulation model.

The Company is currently asset sensitive. The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. The effective duration of the Company’s investment securities portfolio is approximately 1.8 years at March 31, 2016, compared to 2.1 years at December 31, 2015. However, management considers the current effective duration to be low and future purchases will result in an increased effective duration with providing increased earnings while keeping risk low. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Variable rate loans make up 73% of the loan portfolio. However, the Company has floors on some of its loans. At March 31, 2016, 35% of variable rate loans are at their floor, and thus an increase in the underlying index may not necessarily result in an increase in the coupon until the loan index plus margin exceeds that floor. However, 55% of the variable rate loans are tied to the Prime index with $625 million subject to repricing within 30 days of a 25 basis point increase in Prime rate.

Page 64 of 68

An additional tool used less frequently by management to monitor interest rate risk includes the standard GAP report, which measures the estimated difference between the amount of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities anticipated to mature or reprice during future periods, based on certain assumptions. In general, the GAP report presents the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities in a particular period based on either the date that they first reprice, for variable rate products, or the maturity date, for fixed rate products.

The Company’s static GAP as of March 31, 2016, is not materially different from that reported at December 31, 2015 and is thus not included in this 10Q. See the Company’s Static Gap reports under “Item7A-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Note 1 - Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

CU Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose operating subsidiary is California United Bank. As a bank holding company, CU Bancorp is subject to regulation of the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). The term “Company”, as used throughout this document, refers to the consolidated financial statements of CU Bancorp and California United Bank.

California United Bank (the “Bank”) is a full-service commercial business bank offering a broad range of banking products and services including: deposit services, lending and cash management to small and medium-sized businesses, to non-profit organizations, to business principals and entrepreneurs, to the professional community, including attorneys, certified public accountants, financial advisors, healthcare providers and investors. The Bank opened for business in 2005. Its current headquarters office is located in Los Angeles, California. As a state chartered non-member bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the California Department of Business Oversight (“DBO”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC to the maximum amount allowed by law.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. Significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

CU Bancorp is the common shareholder of Premier Commercial Statutory Trust I, Premier Commercial Statutory Trust II, and Premier Commercial Statutory Trust III, entities which were acquired in the merger with Premier Commercial Bancorp (“PC Bancorp”). These trusts were established for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and do not meet the criteria for consolidation. For more detail, see Note 8 – Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures.

Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the annual consolidated financial statements are not included in the interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the interim periods presented.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, these accounting principles require the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan loss and various assets and liabilities measured at fair value. While management uses the most current available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan loss may be necessary based on, among other factors, changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan loss. Regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize changes to the allowance for loan loss based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Business Segments

The Company is organized and operates as a single reporting segment, principally engaged in commercial business banking. The Company conducts its lending and deposit operations through nine full service branch offices located in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and San Bernardino counties.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which replaced existing revenue recognition guidance for contracts to provide goods or services to customers and amended existing guidance related to recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets such as real estate. ASU 2014-09 established a principles-based approach to recognizing revenue that applies to all contracts other than those covered by other authoritative GAAP guidance. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows were also required. ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and was to be applied on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. In response to stakeholders’ requests and to defer the effective date required by ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the original effective date for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2015-14 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). Changes to the current GAAP model primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. The classification and measurement guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities can early adopt the provision to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income. Early adoption of these provisions can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued (for public business entities) or that have not yet been made available for issuance. The classification and measurement guidance is the first ASU issued under the FASB’s financial instruments project. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. While both lessees and lessors are affected by the new guidance, the effects on the lessees are much more significant. The most significant change for lessees is the requirement under the new guidance to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases not considered short-term leases. By definition, a short-term lease is one in which: (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect an accounting policy by class of underlying asset under which right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are not recognized and lease payments are generally recognized as expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. This change will result in lessees recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases currently accounted for as operating leases under the legacy lease accounting guidance. For many entities, this could significantly affect the financial ratios they use for external reporting and other purposes, such as debt covenant compliance. Examples of changes in the new guidance affecting both lessees and lessors include: (a) defining initial direct costs to only include those incremental costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been entered into, (b) requiring related party leases to be accounted for based on their legally enforceable terms and conditions, (c) eliminating the additional requirements that must be applied today to leases involving real estate and (d) revising the circumstances under which the transfer contract in a sale-leaseback transaction should be accounted for as the sale of an asset by the seller-lessee and the purchase of an asset by the buyer-lessor. In addition, both lessees and lessors are subject to new disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to reduce the complexity of certain aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. As a result of this ASU, changes applicable to all entities include: 1) minimum statutory withholding requirements; under the ASU, the threshold to qualify for equity classification would permit withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdictions. Also, the ASU provides that cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes would be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows; 2) accounting for forfeitures; the ASU would allow an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur; 3) accounting for income taxes; under the ASU, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies would be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. An entity also would recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Further, excess tax benefits would not be separated from other income tax cash flows and thus would be classified along with other cash flows as an operating activity. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Total held-to-maturity investment securities	$	5,669	$	16	$	2,392	$	16	$	8,061	$	32

The unrealized losses in each of the above categories are associated with the general fluctuation of market interest rates and are not an indication of any deterioration in the credit quality of the security issuers. Further, the Company does not intend to sell these securities and is not more-likely-than-not to be required to sell the securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Accordingly, the Company had no securities that were classified as other-than-temporary impaired at March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015, and did not recognize any impairment charges in the consolidated statements of income.

The amortized cost, fair value and the weighted average yield of debt securities at March 31, 2016, are reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands). Maturity categories are determined as follows:

• U.S. Govt. Agency, U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S. Govt. Sponsored Agency bonds and notes – maturity date

• U.S. Govt. Sponsored Agency CMO or Mortgage-Backed Securities, U.S. Govt. Agency GNMA Mortgage-Backed Securities, Asset Backed Securities and U.S. Gov. Agency SBA Securities – estimated cash flow taking into account estimated pre-payment speeds

• Investment grade Corporate Bonds and Municipal Securities – the earlier of the maturity date or the expected call date

Although, U.S. Government Agency and U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Mortgage-Backed and CMO securities have contractual maturities through 2048, the expected maturity will differ from the contractual maturities because borrowers or issuers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalties.

The weighted average yields in the above table are based on effective rates of book balances at the end of the period. Yields are derived by dividing interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, by total amortized cost.

Credit Quality of Loans

The Company utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans. Under the Company’s loan risk rating system, loans are classified as “Pass,” with problem and potential problem loans as “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss”. Individual loan risk ratings are updated continuously or at any time the situation warrants. In addition, management regularly reviews problem loans to determine whether any loan requires a classification change, in accordance with the Company’s policy and applicable regulations. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The internal loan classification risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

• Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. There are several different levels of Pass rated credits, including “Watch” which is considered a transitory grade for pass rated loans that require greater monitoring. Loans not meeting the criteria of special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss that have been analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

• Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. Special Mention loans do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification as a Substandard, Doubtful or Loss classification, but possess weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.

• Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and can be characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

• Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

• Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

The following tables present the risk category of loans by class of loans based on the most recent internal loan classification as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are evaluated by comparing the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, if the loan is not collateral dependent.

A valuation allowance is established for an impaired loan when the realizable value of the loan is less than the recorded investment. In certain cases, portions of impaired loans are charged-off to realizable value instead of establishing a valuation allowance and are included, when applicable, in the table below as impaired loans “with no specific allowance recorded.” The valuation allowance disclosed below is included in the allowance for loan loss reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The following tables present, by loan portfolio segment, the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, for the dates and periods indicated (dollars in thousands). This table excludes purchased credit impaired loans (loans acquired in acquisitions with deteriorated credit quality) of $1.9 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company’s loan portfolio contains certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Loans are restructured in an effort to maximize collections. Economic concessions can include: reductions to the stated interest rate, payment extensions, principal forgiveness or other actions.

The modification process includes evaluation of impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan agreement, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the loan collateral. In these cases, management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, to evaluate the loan for impairment. If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs and unamortized premium or discount) impairment is recognized through a specific allowance or a charge-off.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for troubled debt restructured loans at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These tables include TDR loans that were purchased credit impaired (“PCI”). TDR loans that are non-PCI loans are included in the Impaired Loans tables above. As of March 31, 2016, there were two PCI loans that are considered to be TDR loans with a recorded investment of $131 thousand and unpaid principal balances of $316 thousand.

There were no loans modified or restructured during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015.

There have been no payment defaults in the three months ended March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015 subsequent to modification on troubled debt restructured loans that have been modified within the last twelve months.

Loans are restructured in an effort to maximize collections. Impairment analyses are performed on the Company’s troubled debt restructured loans in conjunction with the normal allowance for loan loss process. The Company’s troubled debt restructured loans are analyzed to ensure adequate cash flow or collateral supports the outstanding loan balance.

There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Loans Acquired Through Acquisition

The following table reflects the accretable net discount for acquired loans for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Reclassifications to non-accretable yield		(7	)		(109	)
Balance, end of period	$	13,470		$	20,077

The above table reflects the fair value adjustment on the loans acquired from mergers that will be amortized to loan interest income based on the effective yield method over the remaining life of the loans. These amounts do not include the fair value adjustments on the purchased credit impaired loans acquired from mergers.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

PCI loans are acquired loans with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it is probable at the acquisition date, that the Company will not be able to collect all contractually required amounts.

When the timing and/or amounts of expected cash flows on such loans are not reasonably estimable, no interest is accreted and the loan is reported as a non-accrual loan; otherwise, if the timing and amounts of expected cash flows for PCI loans are reasonably estimable, then interest is accreted and the loans are reported as accruing loans.

The non-accretable difference represents the difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows, and also reflects the estimated credit losses in the acquired loan portfolio at the acquisition date and can fluctuate due to changes in expected cash flows during the life of the PCI loans.

The following table reflects the outstanding balance and related carrying value of PCI loans as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015

FHLB Borrowings

The Company maintains a secured credit facility with the FHLB, allowing the Company to borrow on an overnight and term basis. The Company’s credit facility with the FHLB is $659 million, which represents approximately 25% of the Bank’s total assets, as reported by the Bank in its December 31, 2015 Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) Call Report.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had $868 million of loan collateral pledged with the FHLB which provides $576 million in borrowing capacity. The Company has $19 million in investment securities pledged with the FHLB to support this credit facility. In addition, the Company must maintain an investment in the Capital Stock of the FHLB. Under the FHLB Act, the FHLB has a statutory lien on the FHLB capital stock that the Company owns and the FHLB capital stock serves as further collateral under the borrowing line.

The Company had no outstanding advances (borrowings) with the FHLB as of March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Subordinated Debentures

The following table summarizes the terms of each issuance of subordinated debentures outstanding as of March 31, 2016:

Series	Amount (in thousands)			Issuance Date		Maturity Date		Rate Index			Current Rate			Next Reset Date
Trust I	$	6,186			12/10/04		03/15/35		3 month LIBOR + 2.05	%		2.684	%		06/15/16

Subtotal		12,372
Unamortized fair value adjustment		(2,635	)
Net	$	9,737

The Company had an aggregate outstanding contractual balance of $12.4 million in subordinated debentures at March 31, 2016. These subordinated debentures were acquired as part of the PC Bancorp merger and were issued to trusts originally established by PC Bancorp, which in turn issued trust preferred securities. These subordinated debentures were issued in three separate series. Each issuance had a maturity of 30 years from their approximate date of issue. All three subordinated debentures are variable rate instruments that reprice quarterly based on the three month LIBOR plus a margin (see tables above). All three subordinated debentures had their interest rates reset in March 2016 at the current three month LIBOR plus their index, and will continue to reprice quarterly through their maturity date. All three subordinated debentures are currently callable at par with no prepayment penalties.

Under Dodd Frank, trust preferred securities are excluded from Tier 1 capital, unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. CU Bancorp assumed approximately $12.4 million of junior subordinated debt securities issued to various business trust subsidiaries of Premier Commercial Bancorp and funded through the issuance of approximately $12.0 million of floating rate capital trust preferred securities. These junior subordinated debt securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010. Because CU Bancorp has less than $15 billion in assets, the trust preferred securities that CU Bancorp assumed from Premier Commercial Bancorp continue to be included in Tier 1 capital, subject to a limit of 25% of Tier 1 capital elements.

Interest payments made by the Company on subordinated debentures are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations. Notification to the FRB is required prior to the Company declaring and paying a dividend during any period in which the Company’s quarterly net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount. This notification requirement is included in regulatory guidance regarding safety and soundness surrounding capital and includes other non-financial measures such as asset quality, financial condition, capital adequacy, liquidity, future earnings projections, capital planning and credit concentrations. Should the FRB object to the dividend payments, the Company would be precluded from paying interest on the subordinated debentures after giving notice within 15 days before the payment date. Payments would not commence until approval is received or the Company no longer needs to provide notice under applicable guidance. The Company has the right, assuming no default has occurred, to defer payments of interest on the subordinated debentures at any time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The Company has not deferred any interest payments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and utilizes interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The Company has two counterparty banks.

Derivative Financial Instruments Acquired from 1^st Enterprise Bank

At March 31, 2016, the Company has twelve interest rate swap agreements with customers and twelve offsetting interest-rate swaps with a counterparty bank that were acquired as a result of the merger with 1^st Enterprise on November 30, 2014. The swap agreements are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Company a variable-rate loan receivable and provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating significant interest rate risk in the Company’s earnings.

The structure of the swaps is as follows: The Company enters into a swap with its customers to allow them to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans, and at the same time, the Company enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allow the Company to pass on the interest-rate risk associated with fixed rate loans. The net effect of the transaction allows the Company to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the fair value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore should not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. Our interest rate swap derivatives acquired from 1^st Enterprise are subject to a master netting arrangement with one counterparty bank. None of our derivative assets and liabilities are offset in the balance sheet.

The Company believes the risk of loss associated with counterparty borrowers relating to interest rate swaps is mitigated as the loans with swaps are underwritten to take into account potential additional exposure, although there can be no assurances in this regard since the performance of the swaps is subject to market and counterparty risk. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total notional amount of the Company’s swaps with the counterparty bank was $27 million and $28 million, respectively.

The following tables present the fair values of the asset and liability of the Company’s derivative instruments acquired from 1^st Enterprise as of the dates and periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments Acquired from PC Bancorp

At March 31, 2016, the Company also has nineteen pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swaps that are designed to convert fixed rate loans into variable rate loans. The Company acquired these interest rate swap contracts on July 31, 2012 as a result of the merger with PC Bancorp.

All of the interest rate swap contracts acquired from PC Bancorp are with the same counterparty bank. The outstanding swaps have original maturities of up to 15 years.

Under all of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts, the Company is required to pledge and maintain collateral for the credit support under these agreements. At March 31, 2016, the Company has pledged $1.9 million in investment securities, $2.7 million in certificates of deposit, for a total of $4.6 million, as collateral under the swap agreements.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

Note 10 – Balance Sheet Offsetting

Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including derivatives, and securities sold under repurchase agreements (“Repos”), may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets as permitted under accounting guidance. The Company’s interest rate swap derivatives are subject to a master bilateral netting and offsetting arrangement under specific conditions as defined within a master agreement governing all interest rate swap contracts that the Company and the counterparty banks have entered into. In addition, the master agreement under which the interest rate contracts have been written require the pledging of assets by the Company based on certain risk thresholds. The Company has pledged a certificate of deposit and investment securities as collateral under the swap agreements. The pledged collateral under the swap agreements are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, unless the Company defaults under the master agreement. The Company currently does not net or offset the interest rate swap contracts in its consolidated balance sheets, as reflected within the table below.

The Company’s securities sold under repurchase agreements represent transactions the Company has entered into with several deposit customers. These transactions represent the sale of securities on an overnight or on a term basis to our deposit customers under an agreement to repurchase the securities from the customers the next business day or at maturity. There is an individual contract for each customer with only one transaction per customer. There is no master agreement that provides for the netting arrangement or the offsetting of these individual transactions or for the netting of collateral positions. The Company does not net or offset the Repos in its consolidated balance sheets as reflected within the table below.

The table below presents the Company’s financial instruments that may be eligible for offsetting which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase that have no enforceable master netting arrangement and derivative securities that could be offset in the consolidated financial statements due to an enforceable master netting arrangement (dollars in thousands):

Stock Options and Restricted Stock

Note 11 - Stock Options and Restricted Stock

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company’s 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”) was adopted by the Company in 2007 and replaced two prior equity compensation plans. The Equity Plan provides for significant flexibility in determining the types and terms of awards that may be made to participants. The Equity Plan was revised and approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2011 and adopted by the Company as part of the Bank holding company reorganization. This plan is designed to promote the interest of the Company in aiding the Company to attract and retain employees, officers and non-employee directors who are expected to contribute to the future success of the organization. The Equity Plan is intended to provide participants with incentives to maximize their efforts on behalf of the Company through stock-based awards that provide an opportunity for stock ownership. This plan provides the Company with a flexible equity incentive compensation program, which allows the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock award units and performance units. Certain options and share awards provide for accelerated vesting, if there is a change in control, as defined in the Equity Plan. These plans are described more fully in Note 16 - Stock Options and Restricted Stock in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2016, future compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock grants are reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Future Restricted Stock Expense

2017		1,034
2018		296
2019		36
Thereafter		—
Total	$	3,414

At March 31, 2016, the weighted-average period over which the total compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants not yet recognized is 1.4 years. There was no future compensation expense related to unvested stock options as of March 31, 2016. All stock options outstanding at March 31, 2016 are vested.

Stock Options

There were no stock options granted by the Company since 2010.

The following table summarizes the share option activity under the plans as of the date and for the period indicated:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.9 million and $643 thousand, respectively.

Restricted Stock

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share in the table below is calculated by taking the total aggregate cost of the restricted shares issued divided by the number of shares of restricted stock issued. The aggregate cost of the restricted stock was calculated by multiplying the number of shares granted at each of the grant dates by the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity under the Equity Plan for the period indicated:

	Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Restricted Stock:
Unvested at December 31, 2015		311,458		$	19.29
Granted		41,809			22.65
Vested		(36,325	)		18.95
Cancelled and forfeited		(4,000	)		—
Unvested at March 31, 2016		312,942		$	20.02

Restricted stock compensation expense related to the restricted stock grants reflected in the table above was $776 thousand and $512 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Restricted stock awards reflected in the table above are valued at the closing stock price on the date of grant and are expensed to stock based compensation expense over the period for which the related service is performed. In 2015, the Company granted 40,000 shares of Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) under the Equity Plan to one of its executive officers. Such grant is reflected in the table above. The shares of common stock underlying the 40,000 shares of RSU will not be issued until the RSUs vest and are not included in the Company’s shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2016. The RSUs are valued at the closing stock price on the date of grant and are expensed to stock based compensation expense over the period for which the related service is performed.

Shareholders' Equity

Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity

Common Stock

Holders of shares of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters voted upon by shareholders. Furthermore, the holders of the Company’s common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for new issue securities, and shares of the Company’s common stock are not subject to redemption, conversion, or sinking fund provisions.

With respect to the payment of dividends, after the preferential dividends upon all other classes and series of stock entitled thereto have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, then the holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available under the laws of the State of California.

Upon the Company’s liquidation or dissolution, the assets legally available for distribution to holders of the Company’s shares of common stock, after payment of all the Company’s obligations and payment of any liquidation preference of all other classes and series of stock entitled thereto, including the Company’s preferred stock, are distributable ratably among the holders of the Company’s common stock.

During 2016, the Company issued 189,489 shares of stock from the exercise of employee stock options for a total value of $1.4 million. The Company also issued 41,809 shares of restricted stock to the Company’s directors and employees, cancelled 4,000 shares of unvested restricted stock related to employee turnover and cancelled 13,304 shares of restricted stock that had a value of $294 thousand when employees elected to pay their tax obligation via the repurchase of the stock by the Company. The net issuance of restricted stock for 2016 was 37,809 shares. The Equity Plan, as amended, allows employees to make an election to have a portion of their restricted stock that became vested during the year repurchased by the Company to provide funds to pay the employee’s tax obligation related to the vesting of the stock.

Preferred Stock

The Company completed the merger with 1^st Enterprise on November 30, 2014. As part of the Merger Agreement, 16,400 shares of preferred stock issued by 1^st Enterprise as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program of the United States Department of the Treasury was converted into 16,400 CU Bancorp preferred shares with substantially identical terms. CU Bancorp Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference amount of $1 thousand per share, designated as the Company’s Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A. The U.S. Department of the Treasury is the sole holder of all outstanding shares of CU Bancorp Preferred Stock. The CU Bancorp Preferred Stock had an estimated life of four years and the fair value was $16 million at the merger date, resulting in a net discount of $479 thousand. The life-to-date and the year-to-date accretion on the net discount as of March 31, 2016 is $1.3 million and $153 thousand, respectively. The net carrying value of the CU Bancorp Preferred Stock is $17.1 million ($16.4 million plus of $0.7 million net premium) as of March 31, 2016.

Dividends on the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears if authorized and declared by the Company’s board of directors out of legally available funds, on a non-cumulative basis, on the $1 thousand per share liquidation preference amount. Dividends are payable on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year. The current coupon dividend rate was adjusted to 9% on March 1, 2016 through perpetuity. However, the dividend yield through November 30, 2018 approximates 7% as a result of business combination accounting. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are non-cumulative. There is no sinking fund with respect to dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. So long as the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company may declare and pay dividends on the common stock only if full dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for the most recently completed dividend period have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, out of the Company’s assets or proceeds available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders, subject to any rights of the Company’s creditors, before any distribution of assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of the common stock, payment of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the $1 thousand liquidation preference amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. To the extent the assets or proceeds available for distribution to shareholders are not sufficient to fully pay the liquidation payments owing to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any other class or series of the stock ranking equally with the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and such the Company’s stock will share ratably in the distribution. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no right to exchange or convert their shares into common stock or any other securities and do not have voting rights.

Fair Value Information

Note 14 - Fair Value Information

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including both those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis and a non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value, and for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities not recorded at fair value, are discussed below.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are as follows:

• Level 1 – Observable unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 – Significant other observable market based inputs, other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. This includes quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, either directly or indirectly. This would include those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies where substantially all of the assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable market data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s evaluation about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets measured utilizing level 3 are for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, and or where valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and or non-transferability. These assumptions are not corroborated by market data. This is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable from objective sources. Management uses a combination of reviews of the underlying financial statements, appraisals and management’s judgment regarding credit quality to determine the value of the financial asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management maximizes the use of observable inputs and attempts to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value measurements. The following is a description of both the general and specific valuation methodologies used for certain instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity: The fair value of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity may be determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets, when available, from nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 financial assets). If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the securities industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities which are observable market inputs (Level 2 financial assets). Debt securities’ pricing is generally obtained from one of the matrix pricing models developed from one of the three national pricing agencies. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts are classified as Level 3 financial assets.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at their current fair value rather than amortized historical cost. Unrealized gains or losses are excluded from net income and reported as an amount net of taxes as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in shareholders’ equity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are accounted for at their amortized historical cost.

The Company considers the inputs utilized to fair value the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities to be observable market inputs and classified these financial assets within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Management bases the fair value for these investments primarily on third party price indications provided by independent pricing sources utilized by the Company’s bond accounting system to obtain market pricing on its individual securities. Vining Sparks, who provides the Company with its bond accounting system, utilizes pricing from three independent third party pricing sources for pricing of securities. These third party pricing sources utilize quoted market prices, or when quoted market prices are not available, the fair values are estimated using nationally recognized third-party vendor pricing models, of which the inputs are observable. However, the fair value reported may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in an actual market exchange.

The fair value of the Company’s U.S. Agency and available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities are calculated using an option adjusted spread model from one of the nationally recognized third-party pricing models. Depending on the assumptions used and the treasury yield curve and other interest rate assumptions, the fair value could vary significantly in the near term.

Loans: The fair value for loans is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, construction and other loans with similar credit characteristics and are further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate loan categories. Expected future cash flows are projected based on contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated credit losses and estimated prepayments. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of loans are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans is determined based on an evaluation at the time the loan is originally identified as impaired, and periodically thereafter, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value on impaired loans is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans, less costs to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent, or based on the cash flows for non-collateral dependent loans discounted at the loan’s original effective rate. Collateral dependent loans may be secured by either real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and is determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and unobservable. For unsecured loans, the estimated future discounted cash flows of the business or borrower, are used in evaluating the fair value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of impaired loans are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are provided by independent third party vendors that specialize in interest rate risk management and fair value analysis using a model that utilizes current market data to estimate cash flows of the interest rate swaps utilizing the future London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve for accruing and the future Overnight Index Swap Rate (“OIS”) yield curve for discounting through the maturity date of the interest rate swap contract. The future LIBOR yield curve is the primary input in the valuation of the interest rate swap contracts. Both the LIBOR and OIS yield curves are readily observable in the marketplace. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of other real estate owned is generally based on real estate appraisals (unless more current market information is available) less estimated costs to sell. 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. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of other real estate owned are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

SBA Servicing Asset: A servicing asset is recorded at fair value upon the sale of an SBA loan. The fair value of this asset is based on the estimated discounted future cash flows utilizing market based discount rates and estimated prepayment speeds. The discount rate was based on the current U.S. Treasury yield curve, plus a spread for marketplace risk associated with these assets. Prepayment speeds were selected based on the historical prepayments of similar SBA pools. The prepayment speeds determine the timing of the cash flows. The SBA servicing asset is amortized over the contractual life of the loans based on an effective yield approach. In addition, the Company’s servicing asset is evaluated regularly for impairment by discounting the estimated future cash flows using market-based discount rates and prepayment speeds. If the calculated present value of the servicing asset declines below the Company’s current carrying value, the servicing asset is written down to its present value. Based on the Company’s methodology in its valuation of the SBA servicing asset, the current carrying value is estimated to approximate the fair value. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of SBA servicing asset are unobservable and accordingly, these financial assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-Maturing Deposits: The fair values for non-maturing deposits (deposits with no contractual termination date), which include non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts, money market deposits and savings accounts are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amounts payable on demand. Because the carrying value and fair value are by definition identical, and accordingly non-maturity deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, these balances are not listed in the following tables.

Maturing Deposits: The fair values of fixed maturity certificates of deposit (time deposits) are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current market deposit interest rates to the Company’s current certificates of deposit interest rates for similar term certificates. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of maturing deposits are observable and accordingly, these financial liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase (“Repos”): The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase is estimated based on the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits. The carrying amounts of Repos with maturities of 90 days or less approximate their fair values. The fair value of Repos with maturities greater than 90 days is estimated based on the discounted value of the contractual future cash flows. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are observable and accordingly, these financial liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Subordinated Debentures: The fair value of the three variable rate subordinated debentures (“debentures”) is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the three month LIBOR plus the margin index at March 31, 2016, to the cash flows from the debentures, based on the actual interest rate the debentures were accruing at March 31, 2016. Because all three of the debentures re-priced on March 16, 2016 based on the current three month LIBOR index rate plus the index margin at that date, and with relatively little to no change in the three month LIBOR index rate from the re-pricing date through March 31, 2016, the current face value of the debentures and their calculated fair value are approximately equal. The inputs utilized in determining the fair value of subordinated debentures are observable and accordingly, these financial liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Commitments: Loan commitments that are priced on an index plus a margin to a market rate of interest are reported at the carrying value of the loan commitment. Loan commitments on which the committed fixed interest rate is less than the current market rate were insignificant at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

At March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015 the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis that required the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, there were no transfers of assets either between Level 1 and Level 2 nor in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets measured on a recurring basis for the period ended March 31, 2016.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company may be required periodically, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or fair value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of or during the period.

There were no transfers of assets either between Level 1 and Level 2 nor in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for assets measured on a non-recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASC Topic 825 requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or on a non-recurring basis. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value has been described above.

The table below presents the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments based on their fair value hierarchy indicated (dollars in thousands):

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, these accounting principles require the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan loss and various assets and liabilities measured at fair value. While management uses the most current available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan loss may be necessary based on, among other factors, changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan loss. Regulatory agencies may require the Company to recognize changes to the allowance for loan loss based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.
