1.      ORGANIZATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Organization

On August 17, 2012, Gateway Bancorp (the “Holding Company”) and Gateway Business Bank (“Gateway” or the “Bank”) were acquired by First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. Total consideration paid by First PacTrust Bancorp, Inc. was $15.5 million.

Prior to the acquisition by First PacTrust Bancorp, the Holding Company was a bank holding company organized and incorporated in the state of California. The Holding Company was formed in 2001 for the purpose of acquiring the Bank, formerly known as Bank of Lakewood, and Mission Hills Mortgage Corporation (“MHMC”). MHMC operated as a subsidiary of the Bank until they merged in October 2002. MHMC operated as a division of Gateway under the name of Mission Hills Mortgage Bankers (the “Mortgage Division”).

The Bank was chartered by the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”). In addition, its customers’ deposit accounts were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the maximum amount allowed by federal regulations. The Bank provided a full range of banking services to small and medium–size businesses, professionals, and the general public throughout Los Angeles and Orange County and was subject to competition from other financial institutions. The operating results of the Bank may be significantly affected by changes in market interest rates and by fluctuations in real estate values in the Bank’s primary service areas. The Bank was regulated by the DFI and FDIC and was subject to periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Bank operated three commercial banking branches and approximately 23 loan production branches in its Mortgage Division throughout California, Oregon and Arizona.

Consent Order

On December 3, 2009, the members of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Gateway agreed to the issuance of a consent order from the FDIC and the DFI. The Order is a formal corrective action pursuant to which the Bank agreed to address specific areas through the adoption and implementation of procedures, plans and policies designed to enhance the safety and soundness of the Bank. These affirmative actions included management assessment, increased Board participation, implementation of plans to address capital, disposition of assets, allowance for loan losses, reduction in the level of classified and delinquent loans, profitability, strategic planning, liquidity and funds management, and sensitivity to market risk. In addition, the Bank was required to maintain specified capital levels, notify the FDIC and the DFI of director and management changes and obtain prior approval of dividend payments. The Order specified certain timeframes for meeting these requirements, and the Bank was required to furnish periodic progress reports to the FDIC and DFI regarding its compliance with

the Order. The Order was to remain in effect until modified or terminated by the FDIC and the DFI.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary the Bank as of June 30, 2012 and for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting and, therefore, do not include all footnotes that would be required for a full presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in Form 8 – K/A filed on April 10, 2012.

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.

The consolidated results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s financial position will be as of December 31, 2012, or of the results of the Company’s operations that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and 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 periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for loans receivable, impairment estimate of mortgage servicing rights, loans held for sale and investment securities, fair value of derivative instruments, and valuation estimates for deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” ASU 2011-04 amends guidance listed under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” and represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement. This Update also permits entities to measure fair value on a net basis for financial instruments that are managed based on net exposure to market risks and/or counterparty credit risk. ASU 2011-04 requires new disclosures for financial instruments classified as Level 3, including: 1) quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in measuring fair value; 2) qualitative discussion of the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs; and 3) a description of valuation processes used.  This update also requires disclosure of fair value levels for financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is required to be disclosed.  ASU 2011-04 became effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has conformed to the new disclosures required in ASU 2011-04 during the first quarter of 2012.

3.      SECURITIES (Continued)

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank employs a documented and systematic methodology in estimating the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses, which assesses the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio, and represents the Bank’s estimate of probable inherent losses in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. Establishment of the allowance for loan losses involves estimating losses for individual loans that have been deemed impaired and for groups of loans that are evaluated collectively. Reviews are performed to determine allowances for loans that have been individually evaluated and identified as loans that have probable losses; reserve requirements are attributable to specific weaknesses evidenced by various factors such as deterioration in the quality of the collateral securing the loan, payment delinquency or other events of default. Performing loans that currently exhibit no significant identifiable weaknesses or impairment are evaluated on a collective basis. On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification

(Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, or Doubtful) migration model and individual loan analysis tools as starting points for determining the adequacy of the allowance for homogenous pools of loans that are not subject to specific reserve allocations. Our loss migration analysis tracks a certain number of quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans. We then apply these calculated loss factors, together with a qualitative factor based on external economic factors and internal assessments, to the outstanding loan balances in each homogenous group of loans, and then, using our internal credit quality grading parameters, we grade the loans as “Pass,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful”. We also conduct individual loan review analysis, as part of the allowance for loan losses allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolios.

The allowance for loan losses methodology incorporates management’s judgment concerning the expected effects of current economic events and trends on portfolio performance, as well as the impact of concentration factors (such as property types, geographic regions and loan sizes). While the Bank’s methodology utilizes historical and other objective information, the establishment of the allowance for loan losses is to a significant extent based upon the judgment and experience of the Bank’s management. The Bank believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover inherent losses embedded in the loan portfolio; however, future changes in circumstances, economic conditions or other factors, including the effect of the Bank’s various loan concentrations, could cause the Bank to increase or decrease the allowance for loan losses as necessary.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2012:

4.      LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)

Credit Quality

The quality of the loans in the Company’s loan portfolio is assessed as a function of net credit losses, levels of nonperforming assets and delinquencies as defined by the Company’s overall credit risk management process and its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Generally, the accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and it is in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. The following table provides information as of June 30, 2012, with respect to loans on nonaccrual status, by portfolio type:

Impaired Loans

The Company’s policy is to consider a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. No allowance is required on an impaired loan when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or market price equals or exceeds the recorded investment in the loan. This typically occurs when the impaired loans have been partially charged-off and/or there have been interest payments received and applied to the loan balance. Evaluation of a loan’s impairment is based on the present value of expected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.

For loans evaluated for impairment, when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or market price equals or exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, then the loan does not require an allowance. This typically occurs when the impaired loans have been partially charged-off and/or there have been interest payments received and applied to the loan balance.

In addition to its allowance for loan losses, the Company maintained an allowance for unfunded commercial real estate loan commitments on its existing loans. This allowance totaled $99,919 as of June 30, 2012.


5. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings. There were no outstanding stock options or other contracts to issue common stock at June 30, 2012 and 2011.


6.      OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had one OREO property, a commercial building, totaling approximately $805,000 net of valuation allowance. The Company disposed of nine properties totaling approximately $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

7.      INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of its assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At least annually, the Company reviews its analysis of whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets. Accounting literature states that a deferred tax asset should be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of whether a deferred tax asset is realizable is based on weighting all available evidence, including both positive and negative evidence. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company conducted an assessment of its deferred tax asset. Based on that assessment, management concluded that it had become more likely than not that the Company’s taxable income in the foreseeable future would not be sufficient to enable it to realize its deferred tax asset in its entirety. That conclusion was based on management’s consideration of the relative weight of the available evidence, including market and economic conditions, and the uncertainties regarding the duration of and how the Company’s future operating results would be affected by those conditions. As a result, management recorded a $5.2 million valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset by means of a noncash charge to income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 which, based on

management’s assessment was more likely than not to be unable to use prior to their expiration.

Management has reassessed its deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2012 and believes the conditions at December 31, 2011 still exist resulting in the Company maintaining a 100% reserve against its deferred tax assets.

8.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value hierarchy under GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 –
Directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates); or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities would include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:

 
·
Loans held-for-sale – At January 1, 2008, the Bank elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on its commitments from investors as well as what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. Loans held for sale subjected to recurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 2.
 
 
·
Securities available-for-sale – The Bank measures fair value of equity securities by using quoted market prices for similar securities or dealer quotes, a Level 2 measurement.
 
 
·
Derivative assets and liabilitiesLending-The Company's derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP and are accounted for as freestanding derivatives. The derivative assets are IRLCs with prospective residential mortgage borrowers whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the borrowers have locked in that interest rate. These commitments are determined to be derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. The derivative liabilities are hedging instruments (typically TBA securities) used to hedge the risk of fair value changes associated with changes in interest rates relating to its mortgage loan origination operations. 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 a Level 2 measurement at June 30, 2012.

·
Servicing rights-other – The fair value of servicing rights related to non-mortgage loans serviced for others was determined by an internal model developed by management that calculates the present value of the expected net servicing income from the portfolio. Because of the significance of unobservable inputs, these servicing rights are classified as Level 3.
 
 
·
Servicing rights-mortgage – The Bank retains servicing on some of its mortgage loans sold and elected the fair value option for valuation of these mortgage servicing rights. The value was based on a model that calculates the present value of the expected net servicing income from the portfolio. Because of the significance of unobservable inputs, these servicing rights were classified as Level 3.
 
 
·
I/O strips receivable – The fair value is determined by discounting future cash flows using discount rates and prepayment assumptions that market participants would use for similar financial instruments. Because of the significance of unobservable inputs, the I/O strips receivable were classified as Level 3.

The following table presents quantitative information about the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs applied to Level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis at June 30, 2012.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis (continued)
 
 

From time to time, the Bank is required to measure certain assets at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Generally, these adjustments are the result of loans held for investment that are considered to be impaired.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:

 
·
Impaired Loans – Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans reflect full or partial write-downs that are based on the loan’s observable market price or current appraised value of the collateral. Loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments based on the current appraised value of the collateral may be classified as Leve1 2 or Leve1 3 depending on the type of asset and the inputs to the valuation. When appraisals are used to determine impairment, the related loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments are typically classified as Leve1 2.
 
 
·
OREO – OREO was recorded at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value less anticipated disposal cost. Fair value of the OREO was determined by appraisals or independent valuation, which was then adjusted for the cost associated with liquidating the property and were classified as Leve1 2 inputs.

Financial Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate their fair values. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded. Accordingly, the fair value disclosures required by GAAP are only indicative of the value of individual financial instruments and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Bank.

Loans Held-for-Sale

(e)
Loans
 
The fair value of loans was estimated utilizing discounted cash flow techniques. The analysis takes into account current market rates of return, contractual interest rates, maturities and assumptions regarding expected future cash flows. Within each respective loan grouping, current market rates of return are determined based on quoted prices for similar instruments that are actively traded, adjusted as necessary to reflect the illiquidity of the instrument. This approach requires the use of significant judgment surrounding current market rates of return, liquidity adjustments and the timing and amounts of future cash flows. Fair value adjustments may be recorded on a nonrecurring basis when determined necessary to record a specific reserve against such loans. These specific reserves are typically measured using the fair value of the loan’s collateral, which is based on a current appraisal on the underlying collateral.
