CUSTOMERS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Customers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Bancorp” or “Customers Bancorp”) is a bank holding company engaged in banking activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, Customers Bank (the “Bank”), collectively referred to as “Customers” herein.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Customers Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Customers Bank, and non-bank subsidiaries, serve residents and businesses in Southeastern Pennsylvania (Bucks, Berks, Chester, Philadelphia and Delaware Counties); Rye, New York (Westchester County); Hamilton, New Jersey (Mercer County); Boston, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; Portsmouth, New Hampshire (Rockingham County); Manhattan, New York; and nationally for certain loan and deposit products.  The Bank has 14 full-service branches and provides commercial banking products, primarily loans and deposits. In addition, Customers Bank also administratively supports loan and other financial products to customers through its limited-purpose offices in Boston, Massachusetts, Providence, Rhode Island, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Manhattan and Melville, New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Bank also provides liquidity to residential mortgage originators nationwide through commercial loans to mortgage companies.
Through BankMobile, a division of Customers Bank, Customers offers state of the art high tech digital banking services to consumers, students, and the "under banked" nationwide. The combination of the BankMobile technology software platform with the Vibe Student Checking and Refund Management Disbursement Services business (the "Disbursement business") acquired from Higher One Holdings, Inc. and Higher One, Inc. (together, "Higher One") in June 2016 propelled BankMobile to one of the largest mobile banking services in the United States by number of customers. Customers has announced its intent to sell BankMobile and anticipates the sale to close within one year. Accordingly, BankMobile has been classified as "held for sale" in the consolidated balance sheets and BankMobile's operating results and associated cash flows have been presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements, see NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
Customers is subject to regulation of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the Federal Reserve Bank and is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. Customers Bancorp has made certain equity investments through its wholly owned subsidiaries CB Green Ventures Pte Ltd. and CUBI India Ventures Pte Ltd.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
On June 15, 2016, Customers completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Disbursement business from Higher One. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of December 15, 2015 between Customers and Higher One. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Customers also acquired all existing relationships with vendors and educational institutions, and all intellectual property and assumed normal business related liabilities. In conjunction with the acquisition, Customers hired approximately 225 Higher One employees primarily located in New Haven, Connecticut that manage the Disbursement business and serve the Disbursement business customers.

The transaction contemplates aggregate guaranteed payments to Higher One of $42 million. The aggregate purchase price payable by Customers is $37 million in cash, with the payments to be made as follows: (i) $17 million in cash paid upon the closing of the acquisition, (ii) $10 million in cash upon the first anniversary of the closing and (iii) $10 million in cash paid upon the second anniversary of the closing. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, $10 million was paid to Higher One in June 2017. In addition, concurrently with the closing, the parties entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Higher One provided certain transition services to Customers through June 30, 2017. As consideration for these services, Customers paid Higher One an additional $5 million in cash. Customers also will be required to make additional payments to Higher One if, during the three years following the closing, revenues from the acquired Disbursement business exceed $75 million in a year. The potential payment is equal to 35% of the amount the Disbursement business related revenue exceeds $75 million in each year. As of June 30, 2017, Customers has not recorded a liability for any additional contingent consideration payable under the Purchase Agreement.

As specified in the Purchase Agreement, the payments of $10 million payable to Higher One upon each of the first and second anniversary of the transaction closing were placed into an escrow account with a third party. The escrow account with $10 million and $20 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in aggregate restricted cash and the corresponding obligation to pay Higher One pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement have been assigned to

BankMobile and are presented as "Assets held for sale" and "Other liabilities held for sale" on the June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheets. For more information regarding Customers' plans for BankMobile and the presentation of BankMobile within the consolidated financial statements, see NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially presented at their estimated fair values based on a preliminary
allocation of the purchase price. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates
about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that were highly subjective and
subject to change. The fair value estimates were considered preliminary and subject to change for up to one year after the
closing date of the acquisition as additional information became available. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, Customers recorded $4.3 million in goodwill as a result of the acquisition. At December 31, 2016, Customers recorded adjustments to the estimated fair values of prepaid expenses and other liabilities, which resulted in a $1.0 million increase in goodwill. The adjusted amount of goodwill of $5.3 million reflects the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of
the net assets acquired. The goodwill recorded is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is considered final as of June 30, 2017. The following table summarizes the final adjusted amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

(1) Includes $10 million payable to Higher One upon each of the first and second anniversary of the transaction closing, which has been placed into an escrow account with a third party (aggregate amount of $20 million at December 31, 2016). Customers paid the first $10 million due to Higher One in June 2017.

The fair value for the developed software was estimated based on expected revenue attributable to the software utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology giving consideration to potential obsolescence. The developed software was being amortized over ten years based on the estimated economic benefits received. The fair values for the other intangible assets represent the value of existing student and university relationships and a non-compete agreement with Higher One based on estimated retention rates and discounted cash flows. Other intangible assets were being amortized over an estimated life ranging from four to twenty years. Because BankMobile has been classified as held for sale, these assets are reported at the lower of cost or market on the consolidated balance sheet and are no longer being amortized. At June 30, 2017, Customers estimated the fair values of these assets to be higher than their amortized cost basis. Accordingly, a lower of cost or fair value adjustment was not recorded in second quarter 2017.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In third quarter 2016, Customers announced its intent to sell BankMobile. Customers anticipates a sale to close within one year. Because BankMobile met the criteria to be classified as held for sale at June 30, 2017, the assets and liabilities of BankMobile have been presented as "Assets held for sale," "Non-interest bearing deposits held for sale," and "Other liabilities held for sale" on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. BankMobile's operating results and associated cash flows have been presented as "Discontinued operations" within the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. BankMobile will continue to be presented as "Discontinued operations" until completion of the sale or at such time that BankMobile no longer meets the held-for-sale criteria.

The following summarized financial information related to BankMobile has been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented. The amounts presented below exclude the effect of internal allocations made by management when assessing the performance of the BankMobile operating segment.

NOTE 4 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. The December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Customers Bancorp’s audited 2016 consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for the periods presented. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2016 consolidated financial statements of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries included in Customers' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2017. That Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s significant accounting policies, which include its policies on Principles of Consolidation; Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows; Restrictions on Cash and Amounts due from Banks; Business Combinations; Investment Securities; Loan Accounting Framework; Allowance for Loan Losses; Goodwill and other Intangible Assets; Investments in FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank, and other restricted stock; Other Real Estate Owned; FDIC Loss Sharing Receivable and Clawback Liability; Bank-Owned Life Insurance; Bank Premises and Equipment; Treasury Stock; Income Taxes; Share-Based Compensation; Segments; Derivative Instruments and Hedging; Comprehensive Income; and Earnings per Share. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year.
There have been no material changes to Customers' significant accounting policies as disclosed in Customers' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Presented below are recently issued accounting standards that Customers has adopted as well as those that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued but are not yet effective or that Customers has not yet adopted.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2017
Since January 1, 2017, Customers has adopted the following FASB Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”), none of which had a material impact to Customers’ consolidated financial statements:
Customers adopted ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, on a prospective basis. This ASU clarifies that a change in the counterparties to a derivative contract (i.e. a novation), in and of itself, does not require the de-designation of a hedging relationship provided that all the other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.

Customers also adopted ASU 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. This ASU clarifies that a contingency of put or call exercise does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis of hybrid financial instruments. In other words, a contingent put or call option embedded in a debt instrument would be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. However, as required under the existing guidance, companies will still need to evaluate the other relevant embedded derivative guidance, such as whether the payoff from the contingent put or call option is adjusted based on changes in an index other than interest rates or credit risk, and whether the debt involves a substantial premium or discount. As the adoption did not result in any significant impact to Customers’ consolidated financial statements, it did not result in a modified retrospective application.

Customers also adopted ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, on a prospective basis. This ASU eliminates the requirement for the retrospective use of the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence of an investor. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting.

Table of Contents

Customers also adopted ASU 2016-17, Consolidation - Interests Held Through Related Parties that are Under Common Control. This ASU amends the guidance included in ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to Consolidation Analysis which Customers adopted in first quarter 2016. This ASU makes a narrow amendment that requires that a single decision maker considers indirect economic interests in an entity held through related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. Prior to this amendment, indirect interests held through related parties that are under common control were to be considered equivalent of the single decision maker’s direct interests in their entirety which could result in a single decision maker consolidating the VIE. As the adoption did not result in any significant impact to Customers’ consolidated financial statements, it did not result in a full or modified retrospective application.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. Under this ASU, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award as equity or a liability changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications under ASC 718. The ASU will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs:  Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which requires that premiums for certain callable debt securities held be amortized to their earliest call date. This ASU does not affect the accounting for securities purchased at a discount. This ASU will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective approach. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope and application of the accounting guidance on the sale of nonfinancial assets to non-customers, including partial sales. This ASU defines an in-substance nonfinancial asset, in part, as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This ASU also unifies the guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model, and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. This ASU will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test that requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of its goodwill through a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Instead, under this ASU, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. Entities will also be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which narrows the definition of a business and clarifies that to be considered a business, the fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) should not be

12

Table of Contents

concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. In addition, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together will significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. Also, the amendments narrow the definition of the term “output” so that it is consistent with how outputs are defined in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Customers does not expect the adoption to this ASU to have a significant impact on the presentation of its statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This eliminates the current exception for all intra-entity transfers of an asset other than inventory that requires deferral of the tax effects until the asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use.
This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which aims to reduce the existing diversity in practice with regards to the following specific items in the Statement of Cash Flows:
1.
Cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs will be classified in financing activities.
2.
Upon settlement of zero-coupon bonds and bonds with insignificant cash coupons, the portion of the payment attributable to imputed interest will be classified as an operating activity, while the portion of the payment attributable to principal will be classified as a financing activity.
3.
Cash paid by an acquirer soon after a business combination (i.e. approximately three months or less) for the settlement of a contingent consideration liability will be classified in investing activities. Payments made thereafter should be separated between financing activities and operating activities. Cash payments up to the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized at the acquisition date will be classified in financing activities; any excess will be classified in operating activities.
4.
Cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims will be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage (that is, the nature of the loss). Cash proceeds from lump-sum settlements will be classified based on the nature of each loss component included in the settlement.
5.
Cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies will be classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Cash payments for premiums on BOLI may be classified as cash outflows for investing, operating, or a combination of both.
6.
A transferor’s beneficial interest obtained in a securitization of financial assets will be disclosed as a non-cash activity, and cash received from beneficial interests will be classified in investing activities.
7.
Distributions received from equity method investees will be classified using either a cumulative earnings approach or a look-through approach as an accounting policy election.
The ASU contains additional guidance clarifying when an entity should separate cash receipts and cash payments and classify them into more than one class of cash flows (including when reasonable judgment is required to estimate and allocate cash flows) versus when an entity should classify the aggregate amount into one class of cash flows on the basis of predominance. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Customers is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the presentation of its statement of cash flows.

Table of Contents

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset (including HTM securities), presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This ASU will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach. The CECL model is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances for credit losses rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the OTTI model, and will be allowed to reverse previously established allowances in the event the credit of the issuer improves. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier adoption is also permitted. Adoption of the new guidance can be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. Customers is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, initiating implementation efforts across the company, and planning for loss modeling requirements consistent with lifetime expected loss estimates. It is expected that the new model will include different assumptions used in calculating credit losses, such as estimating losses over the estimated life of a financial asset and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions. The adoption of this ASU may result in an increase to Customers' allowance for loan losses which will depend upon the nature and characteristics of Customers' loan portfolio at the adoption date, as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date. Customers currently does not intend to early adopt this new guidance.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities: Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products, that would require issuers of prepaid stored-value product (such as gift cards, telecommunication cards, and traveler’s checks), to derecognize the financial liability related to those products for breakage. Breakage is the value of prepaid stored-value products that is not redeemed by consumers for goods, services or cash. There is currently a diversity in the methodology used to recognize breakage. Subtopic 405-20, Extinguishment of Liabilities, includes derecognition guidance for both financial liabilities and nonfinancial liabilities, and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, includes authoritative breakage guidance but excludes financial liabilities. The amendments in this ASU provide a narrow scope exception to the guidance in Subtopic 405-20 to require that breakage be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which supersedes the current lease accounting guidance for both lessees and lessors under ASC 840, Leases. From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees. The new guidance will require lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to the existing guidance for sales-type, direct financing leases and operating leases. The new standard is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Customers is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial condition and results of operations and expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially all of its operating lease commitments based on the present value of unpaid lease payments as of the date of adoption. Customers does not intend to early adopt this ASU.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance in this ASU among other things, (1) requires equity investments with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (3) eliminates the requirement for public entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (4) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (5) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (6) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (7) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to

available-for-sale securities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Customers is in the process of evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this ASU, however, it does not expect the impact to be significant to its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements given the immaterial amount of its investment in equity securities.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), superseding the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. This ASU requires an entity to recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendment includes a five-step process to assist an entity in achieving the main principle(s) of revenue recognition under ASC 605. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which formalized the deferral of the effective date of the amendment for a period of one-year from the original effective date. Following the issuance of ASU 2015-14, the amendment will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-08, an amendment to the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which reframed the structure of the indicators of when an entity is acting as an agent and focused on evidence that an entity is acting as the principal or agent in a revenue transaction. ASU 2016-08 also eliminated two of the indicators (the entity’s consideration is in the form of a commission and the entity is not exposed to credit risk) in making that determination. This amendment also clarifies that each indicator may be more or less relevant to the assessment depending on the terms and conditions of the contract. In April 2016, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying promised goods or services and on determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license with either a right to use the entity's intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity's intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, an amendment to ASU 2014-09, which provided practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on transition, collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The amendments, collectively, should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.
Because the ASU does not apply to revenue associated with leases and financial instruments (including loans and securities), Customers does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on the elements of its consolidated statements of operations most closely associated with leases and financial instruments (such as interest income, interest expense and securities gain). Customers intends to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach. Customers’ ongoing implementation efforts include the identification of other revenue streams that are within the scope of the new guidance and reviewing the related contracts with customers to determine the effect on certain non-interest income items presented in the consolidated statements of operations. As provided above, Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact to its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2017, there were twelve available-for-sale investment securities in the less-than-twelve-month category and seven available-for-sale investment securities in the twelve-month-or-more category.  The unrealized losses on the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by government-sponsored entities and primarily relate to changes in market interest rates. All amounts are expected to be recovered when market prices recover or at maturity. Customers does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that Customers will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis.
At June 30, 2017, management evaluated its equity holdings issued by a foreign entity for other-than-temporary impairment. Because management no longer has the intent to hold these securities until a recovery in fair value, Customers recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $2.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 for the full amount of the decline in fair value below the cost basis established at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair value of the equity securities at June 30, 2017 of $10.7 million became the new cost basis of the securities. Given that these equity securities continue to experience price declines, Customers is closely monitoring the issuer's stock performance while at the same time studying alternatives to exit the investment. As of July 31, 2017, the equity securities were trading at a price of $1.57 per share which represents an estimated fair value of $6.3 million for the equity securities that Customers still owns.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Customers Bank had pledged investment securities aggregating $642.6 million and $231.3 million in fair value, respectively, as collateral against its borrowings primarily with the FHLB and an unused line of credit with another financial institution. These counterparties do not have the ability to sell or repledge these securities.

Commercial loans held for sale consists predominately of commercial loans to mortgage companies (i.e., mortgage warehouse loans). These mortgage warehouse lending transactions are subject to master repurchase agreements and are designated as held for sale and reported at fair value based on an election made to account for the loans at fair value. Pursuant to the agreements, Customers funds the pipelines for these mortgage lenders by sending payments directly to the closing agents for funded loans (i.e., the purchase event) and receives proceeds directly from third party investors when the loans are sold into the secondary market (i.e., the sale event). The fair value of the mortgage warehouse loans is estimated as the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The interest rates on these loans are variable, and the lending transactions are short-term, with an average life of 20 days from purchase to sale. The primary goal of these lending transactions is to provide liquidity to mortgage companies.

Effective June 30, 2017, Customers Bank transferred $150.8 million of multi-family loans from loans receivable (held for investment) to loans held for sale. Customers Bank transferred these loans at their carrying value, which was lower than the estimated fair value at the time of transfer.

Effective December 31, 2016, Customers Bank transferred $25.1 million of multi-family loans from held for sale to loans receivable (held for investment) because the Bank no longer has the intent to sell these loans. Customers Bank transferred these loans at their carrying value, which was lower than the estimated fair value at the time of transfer.
