When used in this report and in public shareholder communications, in other documents of Banc of California, Inc. (the Company, we, us and our) filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases believe, will, should, will likely result, are expected to, will continue, is anticipated, estimate, project, plans, guidance or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These statements may relate to our future financial performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenue, expense or earnings projections, or other financial items. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to, the following:
i. | the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the branches its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Banc of California, N.A. (the Bank), is expected to acquire from Banco Popular North America (BPNA); |
ii. | the Companys ability to receive regulatory approval and otherwise satisfy the closing conditions for the pending acquisition of branches from BPNA, including raising sufficient financing from public or private offerings to complete the acquisition of branches from BPNA; |
iii. | risks that the Companys merger and acquisition activities, including but not limited to the pending acquisition of the BPNA branches and the recently completed acquisitions of The Private Bank of California (PBOC), The Palisades Group, LLC and CS Financial, Inc., as well as the recent merger of the Companys subsidiary banks, may disrupt current plans and operations and lead to difficulties in customer and employee retention, risks that the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to these transactions could be significantly higher than anticipated and risks that the expected revenues, cost savings, synergies and other benefits of these transactions might not be realized within the anticipated timetables or at all; |
iv. | risks that funds obtained from capital raising activities will not be utilized efficiently or effectively; |
v. | a worsening of current economic conditions, as well as turmoil in the financial markets; |
vi. | the credit risks of lending activities, which may be affected by deterioration in real estate markets and the financial condition of borrowers, may lead to increased loan and lease delinquencies, losses and nonperforming assets in our loan and lease portfolio, and may result in our allowance for loan and lease losses not being adequate to cover actual losses and require us to materially increase our loan and lease loss reserves; |
vii. | the quality and composition of our securities portfolio; |
viii. | changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; |
ix. | continuation of the historically low short-term interest rate environment, changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short- and long-term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; |
x. | fluctuations in the demand for loans and leases, the number of unsold homes and other properties and fluctuations in commercial and residential real estate values in our market area; |
xi. | results of examinations of us by regulatory authorities and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, write-down asset values, increase our capital levels, or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; |
xii. | legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including changes in regulatory capital or other rules; |
xiii. | our ability to control operating costs and expenses; |
xiv. | staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; |
xv. | errors in our estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which may result in significant declines in valuation; |
xvi. | the network and computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach; |
xvii. | our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; |
xviii. | costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; |
xix. | increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; |
3
xx. | changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; |
xxi. | adverse changes in the securities markets; |
xxii. | earthquake, fire or other natural disasters affecting the condition of real estate collateral; |
xxiii. | the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; |
xxiv. | inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; |
xxv. | changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board or their application to our business, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; |
xxvi. | war or terrorist activities; and |
xxvii. | other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and the other risks described in this report and from time to time in other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC, including, without limitation, the risks described under Item 1A.

BANC OF CALIFORNIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2014
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Banc of California, Inc. (the Company, we, us and our) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Banc of California, National Association (the Bank), the Palisades Group, LLC (the Palisades Group), and PTB Property Holdings, LLC, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, except that the accounts of the Palisades Group were not included for amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company include its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Nature of Operations: The principal business of the Company is the ownership of the Bank. The Bank operates under a national bank charter issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), its primary regulator. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, and maintains insurance on deposit accounts with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). PTB Property Holdings, LLC manages and disposes of other real estate owned properties and the Palisades Group provides financial advisory and asset management services.
The Bank is engaged in the business of retail banking, with operations conducted through 16 banking offices, serving San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange counties, California and 53 producing loan production offices in California, Arizona, Oregon, Montana, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Washington as of March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, single family residential (SFR) mortgage loans and Green loans (SFR mortgage lines of credit) accounted for approximately 42.4 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively, of the Companys loan and lease portfolio, with a high percentage of such loans concentrated in Southern California. The customers ability to repay their loans or leases is dependent on the real estate market and general economic conditions in the area.
The accounting and reporting polices of the Company are based upon U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and conform to predominant practices within the banking industry. The Company has not made any significant changes in its critical accounting policies or in its estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than the adoption of new accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance that became effective for the Company on or after January 1, 2014. Refer to Accounting Pronouncements for discussion of accounting pronouncements adopted in 2014.
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures required by GAAP are not included herein. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2013 balance sheet presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP.
In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all of the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan and lease losses, reserve for loss on repurchased loans, servicing rights, other real estate owned, realization of deferred tax assets, goodwill, other intangible assets, derivatives, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, and the fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change and such change could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
11
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company had $17.0 million and $17.3 million of valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively (See further discussion in Note 11, Income Taxes).
Accounting Pronouncements: During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the following pronouncements applicable to the Company were issued or became effective:
In January 2014, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The amendments in ASU 2014-01 to Topic 323, Equity Investments and Joint Ventures, provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The amendments permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received, and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. All of the Company's affordable housing fund investments are within the scope of this guidance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Interim and annual disclosure is required of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 is effective using either the modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

RenovationReady® Acquisition
Effective January 31, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets, including service contracts and intellectual property, of RenovationReady®, a provider of specialized loan services to financial institutions and mortgage bankers that originate agency eligible residential renovation and construction loan products.
The RenovationReady® acquisition was accounted for under GAAP guidance for business combinations. The purchased identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of January 31, 2014. Because of the short time period between the acquisition date and March 31, 2014, the Company used significant estimates and assumptions to value the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The closing date valuations related to other intangible assets and assumed liabilities are preliminary and could differ significantly when finalized.
13
CS Financial Acquisition
Effective October 31, 2013, the Company acquired CS Financial, Inc. (CS Financial), a California corporation and Southern California-based mortgage banking firm controlled by former Company director and current Company executive Jeffery T. Seabold. CS Financial became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. For additional information regarding this transaction, see note 18-Related-Party Transactions.
The CS Financial acquisition was accounted for under GAAP guidance for business combinations. The purchased assets, including identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of October 31, 2013. Because of the short time period between the acquisition date and March 31, 2014, the Company used significant estimates and assumptions to value the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The closing date valuations related to loans, premises, equipment, capital leases, other intangible assets, other assets, and assumed liabilities are preliminary and could differ significantly when finalized.
The Palisades Group, LLC, Acquisition
Effective September 10, 2013, the Company acquired The Palisades Group, a Delaware limited liability company and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Units Purchase Agreement dated as of November 30, 2012, amended and restated as of August 12, 2013, for $50 thousand. The Palisades Group provides financial advisory and asset management services to third parties, including the Bank, with respect to the purchase, sale and management of portfolios of residential mortgage loans.
The Palisades Group acquisition was accounted for under GAAP guidance for business combinations. The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the September 10, 2013 acquisition date. No goodwill was recognized.
The Private Bank of California Acquisition
Effective July 1, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of The Private Bank of California, (PBOC) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 21, 2012, as amended (the PBOC Merger Agreement), by and between the Company, Beach Business Bank (Beach) (then a separate subsidiary bank of the Company) and PBOC. PBOC merged with and into Beach, with Beach continuing as the surviving entity in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and changing its name to The Private Bank of California. On October 11, 2013, The Private Bank of California was merged with the Companys other wholly owned banking subsidiary, Banc of California, National Association (formerly Pacific Trust Bank), to form the Bank.
Pursuant to the terms of the PBOC Merger Agreement, the Company paid aggregate merger consideration of (1) 2,082,654 shares of Company common stock (valued at $28.3 million based on the $13.58 per share closing price of Company common stock on July 1, 2013), and (2) $25.3 million in cash. Additionally, the Company paid out $2.7 million for certain outstanding options to acquire PBOC common stock in accordance with the PBOC Merger Agreement and converted the remaining outstanding PBOC stock options to the Company stock options with an assumed fair value of approximately $30 thousand. On the basis of the number of shares of PBOC common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger, each outstanding share of PBOC common stock was converted into the right to receive $6.52 in cash and 0.5379 shares of Company common stock.
In addition, upon completion of the acquisition, each share of preferred stock issued by PBOC as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program of the United States Department of Treasury (10,000 shares in the aggregate with a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share) was converted automatically into one substantially identical share of preferred stock of the Company. The terms of the preferred stock issued by the Company in exchange for the PBOC preferred stock are substantially identical to the preferred stock previously issued by the Company as part of its own participation in the SBLF program (32,000 shares in aggregate with a liquidation preference amount of $1,000 per share).
PBOC provided a range of financial services, including credit and deposit products as well as cash management services, from its headquarters located in the Century City area of Los Angeles, California as well as full-service branches in Hollywood and Irvine, and a loan production office in downtown Los Angeles. PBOCs target clients included high-net worth and high income individuals, business professionals and their professional service firms, business owners, entertainment service businesses and non-profit organizations.
In accordance with GAAP guidance for business combinations, the Company has expensed approximately $2.6 million of direct acquisition costs and recorded $14.8 million of goodwill and $10.4 million of other intangible assets. The other intangible assets are primarily related to core deposits and are being amortized on an accelerated basis over 2-7 years. Loans that were acquired from PBOC that were considered credit impaired were written down at the acquisition date in accordance with purchase accounting to fair value. In addition, the allowance for loan losses for all PBOC loans was not carried over to the Companys allowance for loan and lease losses. A full valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset was recorded based on managements evaluation of the expectation of recovery of deferred tax assets for the Company. For tax purposes purchase accounting adjustments, including goodwill are all nontaxable and/or non-deductible.

Branch Sales
On October 4, 2013, the Bank completed a branch sale transaction to AmericanWest Bank, a Washington state chartered bank (AWB). In the transaction, the Bank sold eight branches and related assets and deposit liabilities to AWB. The transaction was completed with a transfer of $464.3 million deposits to AWB in exchange for a deposit premium of 2.3 percent. Certain other assets related to the branches include the real estate for three of the branch locations and certain overdraft and other credit facilities related to the deposit accounts. The Company recognized a gain of $12.1 million from this transaction.
NOTE 3 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Hierarchy. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
| Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
15
Securities Available for Sale. The fair values of securities available for sale are generally determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1), or by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). The fair values of the Companys Level 3 securities are determined by the Company or an independent third-party provider using a discounted cash flow methodology. The methodology uses discount rates that are based upon observed market yields for similar securities. Prepayment speeds are estimated based upon the prepayment history of each bond and a detailed analysis of the underlying collateral. Gross weighted average coupon, geographic concentrations, loan to value, FICO and seasoning are among the different loan attributes that are factored into our prepayment curve. Default rates and severity are estimated based upon geography of the collateral, delinquency, modifications, loan to value ratios, FICO scores, and past performance.
Impaired Loans and Leases. The fair value of impaired loans and leases with specific allocations of the allowance for loan and lease losses based on collateral values is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Loans Held for Sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on commitments outstanding from investors as well as what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. Therefore, loans held for sale subjected to recurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 2. The Company had $169.2 million and $192.6 million of loans held for sale at such fair values at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company also had $831.2 million and $524.1 million of non-conforming jumbo mortgage loans held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company obtains quotes, bid or pricing indications on all or part of these loans directly from the buyers. Premiums and discounts received or to be received on the quotes, bids or pricing indications are indicative of the fact that the cost is lower or higher than fair value.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities. The Companys derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP and are accounted for as freestanding derivatives. The Company has entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge against variability in cash flow attributable to interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate on the Companys ongoing LIBOR-based variable rate deposits. The Company is accounting for the swaps as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. The other derivative assets are interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with prospective residential mortgage borrowers whereby the interest rate on the loan is locked by borrower prior to funding. These IRLCs are determined to be derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. Additional derivative assets and liabilities, typically mortgage-backed to-be-announced (TBA) securities, are used to hedge fair value changes, driven by changes in interest rates, on the Companys mortgage assets. The Company hedges the period from the interest rate lock (assuming a fall-out factor) to the date of the loan sale. The estimated fair value is based on current market prices for similar instruments. Given the meaningful level of secondary market activity for derivative contracts, active pricing is available for similar assets and accordingly, the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2.
Servicing Rights Mortgage. The Company retains servicing on some of its mortgage loans sold and elected the fair value option for valuation of these mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). The value is based on a third party provider that calculates the present value of the expected net servicing income from the portfolio based on key factors that include interest rates, prepayment assumptions, discount rate and estimated cash flows. Because of the significance of unobservable inputs, these servicing rights are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned Assets. Other real estate owned assets (OREO) are recorded at the fair value less estimated costs to sell at the time of foreclosure. The fair value of other real estate owned assets is generally based on recent real estate appraisals adjusted for estimated selling costs. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Only OREO with a valuation allowance are considered to be carried at fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company experienced none and $79 thousand in valuation allowance expense for those assets, respectively.
16
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring and Non-Recurring Basis
Available-for-sale securities, certain conforming mortgage loans held for sale, derivative assets and liabilities, and servicing rightsmortgage are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, whereas impaired loans and leases, non-conforming jumbo mortgage loans held for sale and other real estate owned are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell servicing rights on mortgage loans with $941.1 million of outstanding unpaid principal balance at March 31, 2014 for a fair value of $10.1 million. The sale closed on April 1, 2014. The fair values on the sold MSRs are carried at the closing price of the transaction at March 31, 2014, therefore, we transferred the amount to Level 2. The Company will continue to be the interim servicer until later in the second quarter.

(1) | The Companys policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that cause the transfer. |
The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

March 31, 2014: |
||||||||||
Mortgage servicing rights |
$ | 8,407 | Discounted cash flow | Discount rate | 10.00% to 17.89% (10.81%) | |||||

Mortgage servicing rights |

Prepayment rate | 4.19% to 34.54% (9.85%) |
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys servicing rights include the discount rate and estimated cash flows. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys private label and agency residential mortgage backed securities are prepayment rates, collateral default rates, and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the collateral default rates is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, time deposits in financial institutions, and accrued interest receivable and payable. The methods for determining the fair values for securities available for sale, and derivatives assets and liabilities are described above. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing, and therefore not indicative of an exit price. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Carrying amount of federal funds purchased is the estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of this liability, as all outstanding federal funds purchased were over-night borrowings at March 31, 2014. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material (or is based on the current fees or costs that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements) and is not presented.

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

The Company recorded no other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) for securities available for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
At March 31, 2014, the Companys securities available for sale portfolio consisted of 80 securities, 67 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses are related to an overall increase in interest rates and a decrease in prepayment speeds of the agency mortgage-backed securities.
The Companys private label residential mortgage-backed securities in unrealized loss positions had fair values of $4.2 million with unrealized losses of $29 thousand at March 31, 2014. The Companys agency residential mortgage-backed securities in unrealized loss positions had fair values of $88.6 million with unrealized losses of $964 thousand at March 31, 2014. The Companys private label residential mortgage-backed securities in unrealized loss positions had fair values of $6.0 million with unrealized losses of $36 thousand at December 31, 2013. The Companys agency residential mortgage-backed securities in unrealized loss positions had fair values of $115.9 million with unrealized losses of $1.8 million at December 31, 2013.
The Company monitors to ensure it has adequate credit support and as of March 31, 2014, the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recoveries. Of the Companys $107.5 million securities portfolio, $107.3 million were rated AAA, AA or A, and $231 thousand were rated BBB based on the most recent credit rating from the rating agencies as of March 31, 2014. The Company considers the lowest credit rating for identification of potential OTTI.

Green Loans
Green Loans are single family residential first and second mortgage lines of credit with a linked checking account that allows all types of deposits and withdrawals to be performed. The loans are generally interest only with a 15 year balloon payment due at maturity. At March 31, 2014, Green Loans totaled $148.6 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 2.9 percent from $153.0 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to reductions in principal balance and payoffs. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $5.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of the Companys Green Loans were non-performing. As a result of their unique payment feature, Green Loans possess higher credit risk due to the potential of negative amortization; however, management believes the risk is mitigated through the Companys loan terms and underwriting standards, including its policies on loan-to-value ratios and the Companys contractual ability to curtail loans when the value of underlying collateral declines. The Company discontinued origination of the Green Loan products in 2011.
Interest Only Loans
Interest only loans are primarily single family residential first mortgage loans with payment features that allow interest only payment in initial periods before converting to a fully amortizing loan. As of March 31, 2014, our interest only loans decreased by $34.4 million, or 24.6 percent, to $105.6 million from $140.0 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to transfers to loans held for sale of $23.9 million and net amortization of $10.5 million. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $843 thousand and $752 thousand of the interest only loans were non-performing, respectively.
Loans with the Potential for Negative Amortization
Negative amortization loans decreased by $1.4 million, or 8.4 percent, to $15.2 million as of March 31, 2014 from $16.6 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company discontinued origination of negative amortization loans in 2007. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $983 thousand and $1.2 million of the loans that had the potential for negative amortization were non-performing, respectively. These loans pose a potentially higher credit risk because of the lack of principal amortization and potential for negative amortization; however, management believes the risk is mitigated through the loan terms and underwriting standards, including the Companys policies on loan-to-value ratios.
24
Risk Management of Non-Traditional Mortgages
The Company has assessed that the most significant performance indicators for non-traditional mortgages are loan-to-value (LTV) and FICO scores. Accordingly, the Company manages credit risk in the NTM portfolio through semi-annual review of the loan portfolio that includes refreshing FICO scores on the Green Loans and home equity lines of credit, as needed in conjunction with portfolio management, and ordering third party automated valuation models. The loan review is designed to provide a method of identifying borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulty before they actually fail to make a loan payment. Upon receipt of the updated FICO scores, an exception report is run to identify loans with a decrease in FICO of 10 percent or more and/or a resulting FICO of 620 or less. The loans are then further analyzed to determine if the risk rating should be downgraded which will increase the reserves the Company will establish for potential losses. A report of the semi-annual loan review is published and regularly monitored.
As these loans are revolving lines of credit, the Company, based on the loan agreement and loan covenants of the particular loan, as well as applicable rules and regulations, could suspend the borrowing privileges or reduce the credit limit at any time the Company reasonably believes that the borrower will be unable to fulfill their repayment obligations under the agreement or certain other conditions are met. In many cases, the decrease in FICO is the first red flag that the borrower may have difficulty in making their future payment obligations.
As a result, the Company proactively manages the portfolio by performing detailed analysis on its portfolio with emphasis on the NTM portfolio. The Companys Internal Asset Review Committee (IARC) conducts meetings on at least a quarterly basis review the loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful and determines whether suspension or reduction in credit limit is warranted. If the line has been suspended and the borrower would like to have their credit privileges reinstated, they would need to provide updated financials showing their ability to meet their payment obligations.
On the Interest Only loans, the Company projects future payment changes to determine if there will a material increase in required payment and then monitors the loans for possible delinquency. The individual loans are monitored for possible downgrading of risk rating, and trends within the portfolio are identified that could affect other interest only loans scheduled for payment changes in the near future.

(1) | LTV represents estimated current loan to value ratio, determined by dividing current unpaid principal balance by latest estimated property value received per the Companys policy |
The decrease in interest only was primarily due to transfers to loans held for sales, and reductions in principal balance and payoffs. The Company updates LTV on a semi-annual basis, typically in second and fourth quarter or as needed in conjunction with proactive portfolio management. As such, the LTV did not materially change from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014, but the change during the quarter reflects loans that were paid off during the quarter.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The Company has an established credit risk management process that includes regular management review of the loan and lease portfolio to identify problem loans and leases. During the ordinary course of business, management becomes aware of borrowers and lessees that may not be able to meet the contractual requirements of the loan and lease agreements. Such loans and leases are subject to increased monitoring. Consideration is given to placing the loan or lease on non-accrual status, assessing the need for additional allowance for loan and lease losses, and partial or full charge-off. The Company maintains the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level that is considered adequate to cover the estimated and known inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
The Company also maintains a reserve for unfunded loan commitments at a level that is considered adequate to cover the estimated and known inherent risks. The probability of usage of the unfunded loan commitments and credit risk factors determined based on outstanding loan balance of same customer or outstanding loans that shares similar credit risk exposure are used to determine the adequacy of the reserve. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
The credit risk monitoring system is designed to identify impaired and potential problem loans, and to permit periodic evaluation of impairment and the adequacy level of the allowance for credit losses in a timely manner. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Bank has adopted a credit policy that includes a credit review and control system which it believes should be effective in ensuring that the Company maintains an adequate allowance for credit losses. The Board of Directors provides oversight and guidance for managements allowance evaluation process, including quarterly valuations, and consideration of managements determination of whether the allowance is adequate to absorb losses in the loan and lease portfolio. The determination of the amount of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the provision for loan and lease losses is based on managements current judgment about the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio and takes into consideration known relevant internal and external factors that affect collectability when determining the appropriate level for the allowance for loan and lease losses. The nature of the process by which the Company determines the appropriate allowance for loan and lease losses requires the exercise of considerable judgment. Additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses are made by charges to the provision for loan and lease losses. Identified credit exposures that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses.
