NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION    
PacWest Bancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the BHCA, with our corporate headquarters located in Beverly Hills, California. Our principal business is to serve as the holding company for our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank. References to "Pacific Western" or the "Bank" refer to Pacific Western Bank together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. References to "we," "us," or the "Company" refer to PacWest Bancorp together with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. When we refer to "PacWest" or to the "holding company," we are referring to PacWest Bancorp, the parent company, on a stand-alone basis.
We are focused on relationship-based business banking to small, middle-market and venture-backed businesses nationwide. The Bank offers a broad range of loan and lease and deposit products and services through 74 full-service branches located throughout the State of California, one branch located in Durham, North Carolina, and several loan production offices located in cities across the country. We provide commercial banking services, including real estate, construction, and commercial loans, and comprehensive deposit and treasury management services to small and middle-market businesses. We offer additional products and services through our CapitalSource and Square 1 Bank divisions. Our CapitalSource Division provides cash flow, asset-based, equipment, and real estate loans and treasury management services to established middle market businesses on a national basis. Our Square 1 Bank Division offers a comprehensive suite of financial services focused on entrepreneurial businesses and their venture capital and private equity investors, with offices located in key innovation hubs across the United States. In addition, we provide investment advisory and asset management services to select clients through Square 1 Asset Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and a SEC-registered investment adviser.
We generate our revenue primarily from interest received on loans and leases and, to a lesser extent, from interest received on investment securities, and fees received in connection with deposit services, extending credit and other services offered, including foreign exchange services. Our major operating expenses are compensation, occupancy, general operating expenses, and the interest paid by the Bank on deposits and borrowings.
We have completed 28 acquisitions from May 1, 2000 through June 30, 2017. Our acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the operating results of the acquired entities have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective acquisition dates.
CU Bancorp Merger Announcement
On April 6, 2017, PacWest announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the "Agreement") whereby PacWest will acquire CUB in a transaction valued at approximately $705 million as of the announcement date.
CUB, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, is the parent of CU Bank, a California state-chartered non-member bank, with approximately $3.0 billion in assets and nine branches located in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties at June 30, 2017. In connection with the acquisition, CU Bank will be merged into Pacific Western Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of PacWest.
The acquisition, which was approved by the PacWest and CUB boards of directors, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining approval by CUB’s shareholders and bank regulatory authorities.
Significant Accounting Policies
Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Form 10-K").

Accounting Standard Adopted in 2017
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Accounting." ASU 2016-09 changed aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) accounting for income taxes; (2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows; (3) forfeitures; (4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements; and (5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. The recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement was adopted prospectively. Income tax benefits of $1.0 million and $2.1 million were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09. We expect the requirements of ASU 2016-09 to result in fluctuations in our effective tax rate from period to period based upon the timing of share-based award vestings.
In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-09, we elected to recognize forfeitures on stock-based compensation awards when they occur, instead of estimating forfeitures at the grant date of the awards and throughout the vesting period. The modified retrospective application of this change in accounting principle resulted in a cumulative adjustment charge to retained earnings of $420,000, net of income taxes. We elected to present the classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using a prospective transition method and the prior period has not been adjusted.
Basis of Presentation    
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements are omitted. In the opinion of management, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals and considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods, have been included. The current period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of intangible assets, the realization of deferred tax assets, and the fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation format. On the condensed consolidated statements of earnings we are presenting a new line for "Loan expense", as that category has exceeded the disclosure materiality threshold, which previously had been included as part of "Other expense." Included in loan expense are costs related to servicing our loans including legal fees. Regarding time deposits disclosures, prior to 2017 we presented the categories as: (1) under $100,000, and (2) $100,000 or more, but now are using the current FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 and presenting the categories as: (1) $250,000 and under, and (2) over $250,000.

NOTE 2.  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
Our other intangible assets with definite lives include CDI and CRI. CDI and CRI are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in the value of the underlying deposits or loan and lease customers acquired. The weighted average amortization period remaining for all of our CDI and CRI as of June 30, 2017 is 4.9 years. The aggregate CDI and CRI amortization expense is expected to be $11.5 million for 2017. The estimated aggregate amortization expense related to these intangible assets for each of the next five years is $8.8 million for 2018, $6.7 million for 2019, $4.7 million for 2020, $3.0 million for 2021, and $1.7 million for 2022.

We reviewed the securities that were in a loss position at June 30, 2017, and concluded their losses were a result of the level of market interest rates relative to the types of securities and pricing changes caused by shifting supply and demand dynamics and not a result of downgraded credit ratings or other indicators of deterioration of the underlying issuers' ability to repay. Accordingly, we determined the securities were temporarily impaired and we did not recognize such impairment in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Although we periodically sell securities for portfolio management purposes, we do not foresee having to sell any temporarily impaired securities strictly for liquidity needs and believe that it is more likely than not we would not be required to sell any temporarily impaired securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

Mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms to maturity, but require periodic payments to reduce principal. In addition, expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because obligors and/or issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

NOTE 4.  LOANS AND LEASES
Our loan and lease portfolio includes originated and purchased loans and leases. Originated and purchased loans and leases for which there was no evidence of credit deterioration at their acquisition date and for which it was probable that we would be able to collect all contractually required payments, are referred to collectively as Non-PCI loans. Generally, PCI loans are purchased loans for which there was, at the acquisition date, evidence of credit deterioration since their origination and for which it was probable that collection of all contractually required payments was unlikely.
Non-PCI loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred fees and costs, and in the case of acquired loans, net of purchase discounts and premiums. Deferred fees and costs and purchase discounts and premiums on acquired non-impaired loans are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans primarily using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or included in the carrying amount of loans that are sold.
PCI loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310‑30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." For PCI loans, at the time of acquisition we (i) calculate the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the "undiscounted contractual cash flows") and (ii) estimate the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments (the "undiscounted expected cash flows"). The difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected and the estimated fair value of the acquired loans is the accretable yield. The nonaccretable difference represents an estimate of the loss exposure of principal and interest related to the PCI loan portfolio; such amount is subject to change over time based on the performance of such loans. The carrying value of PCI loans is reduced by payments received, both principal and interest, and increased by the portion of the accretable yield recognized as interest income.
Loans Held for Sale
In the second quarter of 2017, we entered into two agreements to sell loans with balances totaling $175.2 million and the associated unfunded commitments of $19.3 million, primarily from our healthcare portfolios. The $175.2 million of loans were reported as loans held for sale at June 30, 2017 and the sales were completed in July. In connection with the transfer of loans to held for sale, we recognized $7.2 million in charge-offs related to our healthcare portfolio loans in order to record the loans at the lower of cost or fair value.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


It is our policy to discontinue accruing interest when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to the collectability of a loan or lease in the normal course of business. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent cash is received and the principal balance of the loan is deemed collectable.
The following table presents our nonaccrual and performing Non‑PCI loans and leases held for investment by portfolio segment and class as of the dates indicated:
