HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Our primary subsidiary is Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), a California state chartered bank. Our other subsidiaries are Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc. and All World Insurance Services, Inc.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period ended September 30, 2009, but are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be reported for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned unaudited consolidated financial statements are in conformity with GAAP. Such interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The interim information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

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

     Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in “Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

     Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period’s presentation to conform to the current period’s presentation.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) became effective on July 1, 2009. At that date, the ASC became FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and related literature. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY

     FASB ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties,” requires reporting entities to disclose information about the nature of their operations and vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition. Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally affect our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to acquire deposits or borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole as the recent turmoil faced by banking organizations in the domestic and worldwide credit markets deteriorates.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY (Continued)

Hanmi Financial

     Currently, management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets through December 31, 2009 to meet its operating cash needs. On August 29, 2008, we elected to suspend payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock in order to preserve our capital position. In addition, Hanmi Financial has also elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment that was due on January 15, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, Hanmi Financial’s liquid assets, including amounts deposited with the Bank, totaled $3.8 million, up from $2.2 million as of December 31, 2008.

Hanmi Bank

     Management believes that the Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations. The Bank’s primary funding source will continue to be deposits originated through its branch platform. For the past nine months, the Bank launched two deposit campaigns to increase new deposits and reduce its reliance on wholesale funding to an optimum level. Through the first deposit campaign promoted from December 2008 and early part of March 2009, the Bank achieved the objectives of maintaining strong liquidity and reducing its reliance on wholesale funds. The second deposit campaign, which started in June 2009, has been undertaken to specifically increase new core deposits and recapture time deposits raised from the first deposit promotion. During the third quarter of 2009, we successfully recaptured a substantial portion of the matured time deposits and raised new retail deposits with low-cost core-deposit products. This deposit-portfolio rebalancing implemented under the Bank’s de-leveraging strategy allowed some run-off of rate-sensitive deposits. As a result, total deposits slightly decreased by $78.2 million, or 2.5 percent, from $3.07 billion as of December 31, 2008 to $2.99 billion as of September 30, 2009. The Bank’s wholesale funds, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and brokered deposits, decreased $743.6 million to $552.8 million at September 30, 2009 from $1.30 billion at December 31, 2008.

     As of September 30, 2009, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 9.69 percent, which causes us to be considered adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Section 29 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) limits the use of brokered deposits by institutions that are less than “well-capitalized” and allows the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to place restrictions on interest rates that institutions may pay. On May 29, 2009, the FDIC approved a final rule to implement new interest rate restrictions on institutions that are not “well capitalized.” The rule, which is not effective until January 1, 2010, limits the interest rate paid by such institutions to 75 basis points above a national rate, as derived from the interest rate average of all institutions. If an institution could provide evidence that its local rate is higher, the FDIC may permit that institution to offer the higher local rate plus 75 basis points. Hanmi Bank is currently evaluating the local interest rate environment to determine whether it would be beneficial to provide evidence to the FDIC that the local rate is higher than the national rate. In the event that we determine to provide such evidence to the FDIC, there can be no assurance that the FDIC will concur with our assessment. As a result, our ability to compete for local deposits in the Korean-American community may be limited.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY (Continued)

     The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB, from which the Bank is eligible to borrow up to 20 percent of its total assets. As of September 30, 2009, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $499.7 million and $337.6 million, respectively. The Bank’s FHLB borrowings as of September 30, 2009 totaled $160.8 million, representing 4.7 percent of total assets. As of November 3, 2009, the Bank’s FHLB borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $532.3 million and $370.1 million, respectively. The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral pledged by the Bank, and the advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and investment securities and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.

     As a means of augmenting its liquidity, the Bank had an available borrowing source of $244.7 million from the Federal Reserve Discount Window (the “Fed Discount Window”), to which the Bank pledged loans with a carrying value of $445.0 million, and had no borrowings as of September 30, 2009. In August 2009, South Street Securities LLC extended a line of credit to the Bank for reverse repurchase agreements up to a maximum of $100.0 million. This line of credit will continue for a term of one year, and, unless amended or terminated, will automatically renew for successive one-year terms.

     On July 10, 2009, due to a deterioration in the Bank’s risk profile, the Borrower in Custody Program of the Fed Discount Window in which the Bank has participated changed from the primary credit program to the secondary credit program, which allows the Bank to request very short-term credit (typically overnight) at a rate that is above the primary credit rate. As of November 3, 2009, the Bank had $150.8 million available for use through the Fed Discount Window, as the Bank pledged loans with a carrying value of $445.0 million, and there were no borrowings. The Bank’s borrowing line available with the Fed Discount Window decreased $93.9 million to $150.8 million on November 3, 2009 from $244.7 million on September 30, 2009, due to the Fed Discount Window applying new collateral margins to all participating banks, effective October 19, 2009. As the Bank has a sufficient amount of pledgeable loans, it will pledge additional loans to maintain an adequate level of borrowing line with the Fed Discount Window.

     Current market conditions have limited the Bank’s liquidity sources principally to secured funding outlets such as the FHLB and Fed Discount Window. There can be no assurance that actions by the FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank would not reduce the Bank’s borrowing capacity or that the Bank would be able to continue to replace deposits at competitive rates. The Bank is currently restricted from accepting brokered deposits as a funding source unless we obtain a waiver from the FDIC (see “Note 13 — Subsequent Events” for further information). On October 9, 2009, the Bank filed a request with the FDIC for a waiver of the brokered deposit restrictions for the primary purposes of enhancing profitability and managing our interest-rate risk. As of September 30, 2009, brokered deposits were $391.9 million, or 13.1 percent of total deposits. All brokered deposits are currently scheduled to mature on or prior to June 30, 2010. For the past nine months, the Bank successfully replaced $482.3 million of brokered deposits with retail deposits. In the event that the Bank cannot secure the waiver from the FDIC, the Bank believes that it will be able to replenish the maturing brokered deposits with retail deposits, as it demonstrated its ability to generate retail deposits for the past nine months. However, these higher costs funds would be expected to affect our earnings and net interest margin. If the Bank is unable to replace these maturing deposits with new deposits, the Bank believes that it has adequate liquidity resources to fund its ongoing obligations with its secured funding outlets with the FHLB and Fed Discount Window.

NOTE 3 — REGULATORY MATTERS

     Risk-Based Capital

     Hanmi Financial and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Hanmi Financial and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Hanmi Financial and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to Risk-Weighted Assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to Average Assets (as defined).

     To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum Total Risk-Based, Tier 1 Risk-Based, and Tier 1 Leverage Ratios as set forth in the table below. The capital ratios of Hanmi Financial and the Bank as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

NOTE 3 — REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

Memorandum of Understanding

     On October 8, 2008, the members of the Board of the Bank entered into an informal supervisory agreement (a memorandum of understanding) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI” and with the FRB, the “Regulators”) to address certain issues raised in the Bank’s regulatory examination by the DFI on March 10, 2008. The memorandum of understanding has been superseded by the Final Order (the “Order”) issued by the DFI, and the Written Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the FRB, each of which were issued effective as of November 2, 2009. See “Note 13 — Subsequent Events” for further details regarding the Order and Agreement.

     Certain of the issues to be addressed by management under the terms of the memorandum of understanding relate to the following, among others: (i) Board and senior management maintenance and succession planning; (ii) Board oversight and education; (iii) Board assessment and enhancement; (iv) loan policies and procedures; (v) allowance for loan losses policies and procedures; (vi) liquidity and funds management policies; (vii) strategic planning; (viii) capital maintenance, including a requirement that the Bank maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of not less than 8.0 percent; and (ix) restrictions on the payment of dividends without the Regulators’ prior approval.

     As of September 30, 2009, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.05 percent and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of 7.57 percent, both of which are below the minimum requirements required by the memorandum of understanding. See “Note 13 — Subsequent Events” for further information. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.85 percent and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of 8.68 percent.

     The Board and management are committed to addressing and resolving the issues raised in the memorandum of understanding on a timely basis. Since completion of the March 10, 2008 regulatory examination, actions have already been undertaken to address and resolve many of the issues raised by the memorandum of understanding.

     As noted above, some of the more significant changes have been in the area of methodology for estimation of the allowances for loan losses. With the changes in the economic climate, we have made various changes quarter to quarter, including:

	•		In the first quarter of 2008, the historical loss rate migration analysis was enhanced. Twelve previous quarters loss history, with the most recent six quarters weighted more heavily at 1.5 to 1.0 to factor in the increased loss rate to reflect the changing economic environment. Previously, the analysis was conducted using the previous 28 quarters all weighted evenly. The revision is more realistic and dynamic, which is particularly pertinent during these fast-changing times.
	•		The reserve factors for contingent liabilities have also been enhanced and now are based on the actual loan pool usage percentages and the risk rating reserve percentages, whereas before only the weighted historical loss rates for clean loans were used.
	•		Furthermore, collateral values are fluctuating more widely this past year than in previous years. Therefore, real estate secured loans are being monitored more frequently, and collateral is being reappraised more frequently so that impairment on these loans, whether they are classified loans or pass loans, may be calculated accurately for purposes of the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 3 — REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

	•		The impairment policy has also been revised to require charge-off of fully impaired loans within 90 days of the impairment date. Exceptions to this policy are allowed only with the Chief Credit Officer’s approval.
	•		The memorandum of understanding addresses enhancement of loan policies and procedures. The revisions to the loan policies and procedures were made more in response to changes in the business environment and increased credit risk, rather than to a specific mandate in the Memorandum of Understanding.

     The rapidly changing economic conditions that have drastically affected our borrowers have necessitated several revisions to the qualitative factors used in the estimation of the allowance for loan losses. Some of the more significant qualitative factors adjusted are increases in delinquencies, classified assets, non-performing loans and charge-offs, changes in quality of loan review, credit concentrations, and external factors of real estate, construction, commercial term, line of credit and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. Overall, qualitative adjustment totals increased by $10.5 million, or 64.7 percent, to $26.6 million for the third quarter of 2009 from $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. Specifically, the largest two loan pools, commercial term loans (secured and unsecured combined) and commercial real estate loans, had significant increases in qualitative adjustments, collectively exceeding $9.2 million in increases during the time period.

     Certain actions that we have specifically taken to comply with the memorandum of understanding include the following:

	•		The Board of Directors’ membership has been changed. Since October 2008, seven directors have retired or resigned. The Board has successfully recruited and elected four new directors, each of them with prior banking experience, professional designations and a wealth of knowledge and experience.
	•		The Corporate Governance Guidelines have also been revised and enhanced to more clearly outline director qualifications, nomination procedures and succession planning.
	•		The memorandum of understanding also called for enhancements to the Capital Augmentation and Maintenance Plan, the Liquidity Contingency Plan, the Strategic Plan and the Earnings Plan. These have been completed and the plans are being followed with positive results.

     The regulators also recommended that the Board of Directors increase its members by one additional director and make further enhancements to the management succession and retention programs. The Board of Directors is addressing these issues.

     The memorandum of understanding requires the Bank to submit reports quarterly on the progress made on all of the provisions. At this time, the Bank is in full or substantial compliance with a majority of the provisions, with the understanding that some of the provisions, like the Asset Quality Improvement Plan, the Capital Augmentation and Maintenance Plan, and the Earnings Plan, require the implementation of the plans and a passage of time to show the results of the plans.

     The liquidity contingency plan, earnings plan and updated strategic plan have been revised as part the Bank’s actions to comply with the memorandum of understanding. As previously reported, certain directors have retired from the Board and other directors have joined the Board, bringing broader and more diverse skill sets.

Capital Plan

     Separately, in accordance with our prior commitment to the FRB, Hanmi Financial has adopted a consolidated capital plan to augment and maintain a sufficient consolidated capital position. In addition, Hanmi Financial has agreed that it will not, and is currently restricted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Order from: (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any payments on its junior subordinated debentures or any other capital distributions without the prior written consent of the FRB, and (ii) incur, increase or renew any existing debt or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock without the prior written consent of the FRB. In order to preserve its capital position, the Board of Hanmi Financial has elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment that was due on January 15, 2009. Finally, Hanmi Financial has agreed to provide prior written notice and obtain the consent of the FRB prior to appointing any new directors or senior executive officers.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements

     FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.

     FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FASB ASC 825 emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. FASB ASC 825 also requires additional disclosures relating to fair value measurement inputs and valuation techniques, as well as providing disclosures for all debt and equity investment securities by major security types rather than by major security categories that should be based on the nature and risks of the security during both interim and annual periods. FASB ASC is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FASB ASC 825 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We adopted FASB ASC 825 in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 825 resulted in additional disclosures that are presented in “Note 5 — Investment Securities.”

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

     We used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

     Investment Securities Available for Sale — The fair values of investment securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Level 1 investment securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, as well as other U.S. government and agency debentures that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 investment securities include mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 investment securities are preferred stocks that are not traded in market.

     Loans Held for Sale — Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, we classify these loans as Level 2 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.

     Impaired Loans — FASB ASC 820 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by FASB ASC 310, “Receivables,” including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. These loans are classified as Level 2 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.

     Other Real Estate Owned — Other real estate owned is measured at fair value less selling costs. Fair value was determined based on third-party appraisals of fair value in an orderly sale. Selling costs were based on standard market factors. We classify other real estate owned as Level 2 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.

     Servicing Assets and Servicing Liabilities — The fair values of servicing assets and servicing liabilities are based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net future cash flows related to contractually specified servicing fees. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future cash flows. We are able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness. Fair value measurements of servicing assets and servicing liabilities use significant unobservable inputs. As such, we classify them as Level 3.

     Other Intangible Assets — Other intangible assets consists of a core deposit intangible and acquired intangible assets arising from acquisitions, including non-compete agreements, trade names, carrier relationships and client/insured relationships. The valuation of other intangible assets is based on information and assumptions available to us at the time of acquisition, using income and market approaches to determine fair value. We test our other intangible assets annually for impairment, or when indications of potential impairment exist. Fair value measurements of other intangible assets use significant unobservable inputs. As such, we classify them as Level 3 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

     FASB ASC 320, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities,” amended current other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) guidance in GAAP for debt securities by requiring a write-down when fair value is below amortized cost in circumstances where: (1) an entity has the intent to sell a security; (2) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. If an entity intends to sell a security or if it is more likely than not the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. If an entity does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. FASB ASC 320 did not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI write-downs of equity securities. FASB ASC 320 also extended disclosure requirements about debt and equity securities to interim reporting periods. FASB ASC 320 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, FASB ASC 320 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We adopted FASB ASC 320 in the second quarter of 2009 and it had no impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurement

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

	•   Level 1		Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	•   Level 2		Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
	•   Leve1 3		Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring or Non-Recurring Basis

     FASB ASC 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 non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are discussed above.

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