EXPLANATORY NOTE
     Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” “we” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2009. This Amendment is being filed to amend and restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
     The allowance for loan losses and provision for credit losses were increased to reflect an adjustment to the qualitative reserve factors that our wholly owned subsidiary, Hanmi Bank (“the Bank”), utilized in calculating its allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009. The increases in the qualitative reserve factors reflected first quarter trends in delinquent, classified and non-performing loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio, which were raised as part of the Bank’s recent regulatory examination by the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). The restatement also will reflect certain loan grading changes that also occurred as a result of the recent regulatory examination. As a result of these findings, we concluded that the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009 should be increased by $21.0 million to reflect these matters.
     The decision to restate the first quarter financial statements was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Hanmi Financial on August 3, 2009. The Audit Committee and members of Hanmi Financial’s executive management discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.
     We also reassessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation and due to the restatement of the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009. Our conclusion was primarily related to our review and reassessment of management’s policies and procedures for the monitoring and timely evaluation of and revision to management’s approach for assessing credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio to reflect changes in the economic environment.
     The information in this Amendment has been updated to give effect to the restatement. Hanmi Financial has not modified or updated the information in the initial Form 10-Q, except as necessary to reflect the effects of the restatement described above. This Amendment continues to speak as of the dates described herein, and we have not updated the disclosures contained in the Form 10-Q to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to such dates. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the filing of the initial Form 10-Q on May 11, 2009. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our subsequent filings with the SEC, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment.
     Based on the foregoing, only the following items have been amended:
    Part I — Financial Information:
  -   Item 1 — Financial Statements
 
  -   Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
  -   Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
  -   Item 4 — Controls and Procedures
     For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the initial Form 10-Q in its entirety, although Hanmi Financial is only amending those portions affected by the restatement described above.
     In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation and is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Our primary subsidiary is Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), a California state chartered bank. Our other subsidiaries are Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc. (“Chun-Ha”) and All World Insurance Services, Inc. (“All World”).
     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period ended March 31, 2009, but are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be reported for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the aforementioned unaudited consolidated financial statements are in conformity with GAAP. Such interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The interim information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
     The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Descriptions of our significant accounting policies are included in “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period’s presentation to conform to the current period’s presentation.
NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     We have restated our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses and provision for credit losses were increased to reflect an adjustment to the qualitative reserve factors that the Bank utilized in calculating its allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009. The increases in the qualitative reserve factors reflected first quarter trends in delinquent, classified and non-performing loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio, which were raised as part of the Bank’s recent regulatory examination. The restatement also will reflect certain loan grading changes that also occurred as a result of the recent regulatory examination. As a result of these findings, we concluded that the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2009 should be increased by $21.0 million to reflect these matters.

     Certain amounts were also restated in “Note 5 — Loans,” “Note 7 — Earnings (Loss) Per Share” and “Note 11 — Regulatory Matters.”
NOTE 3 — OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT LOSS ON SECURITIES
     As a result of periodic reviews for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 115-1 and FSP No. FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59, we recorded $98,000 in other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges on certain unmarketable securities during the first quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2009, we had an investment in a Community Reinvestment Act equity fund that was included in Other Assets. During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded an OTTI charge of $98,000 due to further deterioration in the estimated proceeds to be recovered from two properties in the fund.
     All other individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 had investment grade ratings upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and the various rating agencies have reaffirmed these securities’ long-term investment grade status as of March 31, 2009. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intent to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost. Therefore, in management’s opinion, all securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for the past 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no additional impairment charges as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are warranted.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. We adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” FSP No. FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually). We adopted FSP No. FAS 157-2 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 and FSP No. FAS 157-2 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 was effective for us on January 1, 2008. We did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.
     In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active.” FSP No. 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS No. 157 in an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP No. 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued, and did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Fair Value Measurement
     SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are defined as follows:
             
 
    Level 1   Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
           
 
    Level 2   Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
           
 
    Level 3   Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008 (Continued)
NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
     We used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:
     Securities Available for Sale — The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 are preferred stocks that are not traded in market.
     Loans Held for Sale — Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, we classify these loans as Level 2 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.
     Impaired Loans — SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. These loans are classified as Level 2 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.
     Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) — OREO is measured at fair value less selling costs. Fair value was determined based on third-party appraisals of fair value in an orderly sale. Selling costs were based on standard market factors. We classify OREO as Level 2 and subject to non-recurring fair value adjustments.
     Servicing Assets and Servicing Liabilities — The fair values of servicing assets and servicing liabilities are based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net future cash flows related to contractually specified servicing fees. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future cash flows. We are able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness. Fair value measurements of servicing assets and servicing liabilities use significant unobservable inputs. As such, we classify them as Level 3.
     Other Intangible Assets — Other intangible assets consists of a core deposit intangible (“CDI”) and acquired intangible assets arising from acquisitions, including non-compete agreements, trade names, carrier relationships and client/insured relationships. The valuation of other intangible assets is based on information and assumptions available to us at the time of acquisition, using income and market approaches to determine fair value. We test our other intangible assets annually for impairment, or when indications of potential impairment exist. Fair value measurements of other intangible assets use significant unobservable inputs. As such, we classify them as Level 3.

     Loans on non-accrual status totaled $155.5 million and $120.8 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to two commercial term loans (an $8.5 million loan on a golf course in San Diego County and a $3.6 million loan on a gas station in Orange County). Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest totaled $823,000 and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
     As of March 31, 2009, there were five OREO properties with a combined net carrying value of $1.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, two OREO properties, with a carrying value of $509,000, were transferred from loans receivable. As of December 31, 2008, there were three OREO properties with a combined net carrying value of $823,000.

NOTE 5 — LOANS (Continued)
     During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we restructured monthly payments on 28 loans, with a net carrying value of $62.0 million, through temporary interest rate reductions of six months or less. For the restructured loans on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, we believe that performance and collection under the revised terms is probable. In addition, we determined that these restructured loans are well secured. As of March 31, 2009, troubled debt restructurings on accrual status totaled $61.9 million, all of which were temporary interest rate reductions, and a $2.9 million impairment allowance relating to these loans was included in the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2008, there were no troubled debt restructurings on accrual status.

NOTE 7 — EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
     Earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated on both a basic and a diluted basis. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings, excluding common shares in treasury. Unvested restricted stock is excluded from the calculation of weighted-average common shares for basic EPS. For diluted EPS, weighted-average common shares include the impact of restricted stock under the treasury method.
     The following tables present a reconciliation of the components used to derive basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

NOTE 8 — OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS
     We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Bank’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.
     Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; and income-producing or borrower-occupied properties. The following table shows the distribution of undisbursed loan commitments as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 9 — SEGMENT REPORTING
     Through our branch network and lending units, we provide a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies located primarily in Southern California. These services include demand, time and savings deposits; and commercial and industrial, real estate and consumer lending. While our chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of our various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, we consider all of our operations to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
NOTE 10 — LIQUIDITY
     Statement of Position No. 94-6, “Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties,” requires reporting entities to disclose information about the nature of their operations and vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Liquidity risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial condition. Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to acquire deposits or borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole as the recent turmoil faced by banking organizations in the domestic and worldwide credit markets deteriorates.

NOTE 10 — LIQUIDITY (Continued)
Hanmi Bank
     Management believes that Hanmi Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations, which include deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings. In addition to its deposits, the Bank’s principal source of liquidity is its ability to utilize borrowings, as needed. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB. The Bank is eligible to borrow up to 20 percent of its total assets from the FHLB. The Bank has pledged investment securities available for sale and loans receivable as collateral with the FHLB for this borrowing facility. As of March 31, 2009, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $732.9 million and $421.8 million, respectively.
     As of March 31, 2009, the Bank’s FHLB borrowings totaled $311.1 million, representing 8.0 percent of total assets. As of May 6, 2009, the Bank’s FHLB borrowings totaled $311.0 million and the remaining available borrowing capacity was $316.5 million. The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral offered by the Bank, and the advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and investment securities and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.
     As an additional source of funding, we significantly increased our borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”). On December 31, 2008, we received approval for participation in the Borrower-in-Custody Program, where a broad range of loans may be pledged and borrowed against it through the Federal Reserve Discount Window (the “Fed Discount Window”). We may also pledge securities available for sale on this short-term (generally not to exceed three months) borrowing facility. As of March 31, 2009, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral with the FRB amounted to $1,104.9 million and there were no pledges of investment securities available for sale. As of March 31, 2009, we had $828.7 million available for use through this short-term borrowing facility and there were no borrowings. As of May 6, 2009, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral with the FRB amounted to $1,036.8 million and there were no pledges of investment securities available for sale. Effective April 27, 2009, the FRB changed lendable values for group deposited loans pledged by all participating institutions for the Fed Discount Window to reflect recent trends in the values of some types of loans. For the types of our loans pledged to the Fed Discount Window, the lendable value used to calculate total borrowing capacity was changed from 75 percent to 65 percent. As of May 6, 2009, we had $673.9 million available for use through this short-term borrowing facility and there were no borrowings.
     When the FHLB and FRB borrowing facilities are combined, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $1,561.6 million and $1,250.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2009, and $1,301.4 million and $990.4 million, respectively, as of May 6, 2009.
     As a means of augmenting our current liquidity sources, we are participating in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) Debt Guarantee Program, which will enable us to issue up to two percent of our liabilities (approximately $70.0 million) in senior unsecured debt. Given that there is no cost involved in our participation if we do not issue debt under the program, we believe continuing to participate in the Debt Guarantee Program helps us to maintain a cushion of extra liquidity.
     In March 2009, we completed a deposit campaign, which was initiated in mid-December 2008, to help address our liquidity needs. The goals of the deposit campaign were to increase total deposits and decrease brokered deposits. As a result, total deposits increased by $126.0 million from $3,070.1 million as of December 31, 2008 to $3,196.1 million as of March 31, 2009. Brokered deposits decreased by $296.4 million from $874.2 million as of December 31, 2008 to $577.8 million as of March 31, 2009.

NOTE 10 — LIQUIDITY (Continued)
     Current market conditions have also limited the Bank’s liquidity sources principally to secured funding outlets, such as the FHLB and FRB, in addition to deposits originated through the Bank’s branch network and from brokered deposits. There can be no assurance that actions by the FHLB or FRB would not reduce the Bank’s borrowing capacity or that we would be able to continue to replace deposits at competitive rates. If the Bank’s capital ratio falls below well capitalized, the Bank would need regulatory consent before accepting brokered deposits. Over the next 12 months, approximately $2.2 billion of time deposits will mature. Although current prevailing market rates are much lower than the rates of these time deposits, there can be no assurances that we will be able to replace these time deposits with other deposits. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. However, if we are unable to replace these maturing deposits with new deposits, we believe that we have adequate liquidity resources to fund this need with our secured funding outlets with the FHLB and FRB.
Hanmi Financial
     Currently, management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets through December 31, 2009 to meet its operating cash needs. On August 29, 2008, we elected to suspend payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock in order to preserve our capital position. In addition, Hanmi Financial has also elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment due on January 15, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, Hanmi Financial’s liquid assets, including amounts deposited with the Bank, totaled $3.6 million, up from $2.2 million as of December 31, 2008.
NOTE 11 — REGULATORY MATTERS (Restated)
Memorandum of Understanding
     On October 8, 2008, the members of the Board of the Bank entered into an informal supervisory agreement (a memorandum of understanding) with the FRB and the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI” and with the FRB, the “Regulators”) to address certain issues raised in the Bank’s most recent regulatory examination by the DFI on March 10, 2008. Certain of the issues to be addressed by management under the terms of the memorandum of understanding relate to the following, among others: (i) Board and senior management maintenance and succession planning; (ii) Board oversight and education; (iii) Board assessment and enhancement; (iv) loan policies and procedures; (v) allowance for loan losses policies and procedures; (vi) liquidity and funds management policies; (vii) strategic planning; (viii) capital maintenance, including a requirement that the Bank maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of not less than 8.0 percent; and (ix) restrictions on the payment of dividends without the Regulators’ prior approval. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.10 percent and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of 8.28 percent, both above the required 8.0 percent levels. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.85 percent and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of 8.68 percent.
     The Board and management are committed to addressing and resolving the issues raised in the memorandum of understanding on a timely basis. Since completion of the March 10, 2008 regulatory examination, actions have already been undertaken to resolve or make progress on many of the issues raised by the memorandum of understanding.

Capital Plan
     Separately, Hanmi Financial has committed to the FRB that it will adopt a consolidated capital plan to augment and maintain a sufficient consolidated capital position. In addition, Hanmi Financial has agreed that it will not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any payments on its junior subordinated debentures or any other capital distributions without the prior written consent of the FRB, and (ii) incur, increase or renew any existing debt or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock without the prior written consent of the FRB. In order to preserve its capital position, the Board of Hanmi Financial has elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment due on January 15, 2009. Finally, Hanmi Financial has agreed to provide prior written notice and obtain the consent of the FRB prior to appointing any new directors or senior executive officers.
Government Programs
     On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) announced its intention to inject capital into nine large U.S. financial institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP CPP”), and since has injected capital into many other financial institutions. The Treasury initially allocated $250 billion towards the TARP CPP. We have filed an application for TARP CPP funds, which remains pending with the Treasury. Under the terms of the TARP CPP, if Hanmi Financial enters into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Treasury to sell to the Treasury preferred stock and warrants, we would be prohibited from increasing dividends on our common stock, and from making certain repurchases of equity securities, including our common stock, without the Treasury’s consent. Furthermore, as long as the preferred stock issued to the Treasury under the TARP CPP is outstanding, dividend payments and repurchases or redemptions relating to certain equity securities, including common stock, are prohibited until all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid on such preferred stock, subject to certain limited exceptions.
     We have applied to participate in the TARP CPP for an investment of up to $105 million from the Federal Government, but we are still waiting a final decision from the Treasury as to whether we will be able to participate in this program.
NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Appointment of Director
     On April 22, 2009, the Board appointed William J. Stolte to the Hanmi Financial and Hanmi Bank Boards following receipt of a notice of non-disapproval from the FRB of San Francisco and the DFI. Mr. Stolte was appointed as a Class III director.
Retirement of Director
     On April 3, 2009, Richard B. C. Lee retired from service as a director as of that date. In connection with Mr. Lee’s retirement, Mr. Lee and Hanmi Financial entered into a Severance and Release Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Lee received a lump-sum payment of $180,000. Mr. Lee will also receive health and life insurance coverage for the next five years in which the Bank will continue to pay for medical, dental and vision premiums. In accordance with GAAP, $288,000 was expensed during the second quarter of 2009 for the amounts to be paid per the Severance and Release Agreement.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in this Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Some of the statements under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. These factors include the following:
    failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations;
    a significant number of our customers failing to perform under their loans and other terms of credit agreements;
    the effect of regulatory orders we have entered into and potential future supervisory action against us or the Bank;
    fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of our interest rate spread;
    failure to attract or retain deposits;
    sources of liquidity available to us and to the Bank becoming limited or our potential inability to access sufficient sources of liquidity when needed or the requirement that we obtain government waivers to do so;
    adverse changes in domestic or global financial markets, economic conditions or business conditions or the effects of pandemic flu;
    regulatory restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to us and on our ability to make payments on Hanmi Financial obligations;
    significant reliance on loans secured by real estate and the associated vulnerability to downturns in the local real estate market, natural disasters and other variables impacting the value of real estate;
    failure to retain our key employees;
    failure to maintain our status as a financial holding company;
    adequacy of our allowance for loan losses;
    credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our provision for credit losses and allowance for loan losses;
    failure to manage our future growth or successfully integrate acquisitions;
    volatility and disruption in financial, credit and securities markets, and the price of our common stock;
    deterioration in the financial markets that may result in other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to our securities portfolio;
    competition in our primary market areas;
    demographic changes in our primary market areas; and
    significant government regulations, legislation and potential changes thereto.

     For a discussion of some of the other factors that might cause such a difference, see the discussion contained in this Form 10-Q under the heading “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Also see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as well as other factors we identify from time to time in our periodic reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, except as required by law.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these critical accounting policies. For a description of these critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. We use estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of Hanmi Financial’s Board of Directors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     Return on Average Tangible Equity
     Return on average tangible equity is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi Financial’s performance. Average tangible equity is calculated by subtracting average goodwill and average other intangible assets from average stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of Hanmi Financial, as it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing tangible capital. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
     The focus of our business has been on commercial and real estate lending. As of March 31, 2009, we maintained a branch network of 27 full-service branch offices in California and 2 loan production offices in Virginia and Washington. In February 2009, we opened a new full-service branch in Diamond Bar, California and suspended operations at our loan production offices in Colorado, Georgia, Illinois and Texas.
     Since the second half of 2007, the economic conditions in the markets in which our borrowers operate have continued to deteriorate and the levels of loan delinquency and defaults that we experienced have been substantially higher than historical levels. As a result, we have had to make substantial provisions for loan losses in 2007, 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, which have adversely affected our earnings. We believe that our results of operations will continue to be adversely affected if economic conditions, particularly in California, continue to deteriorate.
     A continuing concern in the banking industry is liquidity. Our utilization of wholesale funds during the fourth quarter of 2008 improved our liquidity, and our strategic priority in 2009 is to replace such wholesale funds with customer deposits. As part of this strategy, our December 2008 deposit campaign with a promotional time deposit product was successful as we were able to replace some of our wholesale funds with customer deposits. As of March 31, 2009, total deposits increased sequentially by $126.0 million, or 4.1 percent, to $3.2 billion, while broker deposits and FHLB advances declined to $577.8 million and $311.1 million, respectively, compared to $874.2 million and $422.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.
     As a result of our new strategy of focusing on asset quality over growth, total assets were $3.88 billion as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and total gross loans were $3.32 billion as of March 31, 2009, compared to $3.36 billion as of December 31, 2008.
     We have taken certain actions that we expect will improve our performance:
    The use of third-parties to assist the Bank in quarterly stress testing the entire loan portfolio, reviewing loans within the portfolio, and re-appraising properties where appropriate.
    A further streamlining of the Bank’s operations. In February, we reduced headcount by 16, including some senior officers. We also suspended operations at four of our out-of-state loan production offices and combined three branch districts into two.
    The recent enhancement of the Board of Directors with the addition of three new members. Together, they bring extensive experience in the banking industry, notably their experience in meeting the expectations and requirements of bank regulators.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income Before Provision for Credit Losses
     Our earnings depend largely upon the difference between the interest income received from our loan portfolio and other interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The difference is “net interest income.” The difference between the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is “net interest spread.” Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, is referred to as the “net interest margin.”
     Net interest income is affected by the change in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “volume changes.” Our net interest income also is affected by changes in the yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “rate changes.” Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and competitive factors. Those factors are affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as Federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, income tax policies, governmental budgetary matters and the actions of the FRB.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $23.1 million and $34.2 million, respectively. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were 1.88 percent and 2.46 percent, respectively, compared to 2.81 percent and 3.73 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2008. The compression in the net interest margin continues to be driven by intense competition among Korean-American and other banks, particularly in the pricing of deposits; and the Federal Reserve Board’s 400 basis point cut in short-term interest rates since December 2007.
     Average interest-earning assets increased 3.2 percent to $3.81 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.69 billion for the same period in 2008. Average gross loans increased 1.4 percent to $3.35 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.30 billion for the same period in 2008. Average investment securities decreased 46.7 percent to $182.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $342.1 million for the same period in 2008.
     The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased by 196 basis points from 7.08 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 5.12 percent for the same period in 2009, primarily reflecting a decrease in the average yield on loans. Total loan interest and fee income decreased by 25.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due primarily to a decrease in the average yield on loans from 7.38 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 5.46 percent for the same period in 2009. During this period, the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate dropped 400 basis points from 7.25 percent as of December 31, 2007 to 3.25 percent as of March 31, 2009. The mix of average interest-earning assets was 88.0 percent loans, 4.8 percent investment securities and 7.2 percent other interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 89.5 percent loans, 9.3 percent investment securities and 1.2 percent other interest-earning assets for the same period in 2008.

     The majority of interest-earning assets growth was funded by a $331.2 million, or 14.1 percent, increase in average interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $113.1 million, or 24.0 percent, decrease in average FHLB advances and other borrowings. Total average interest-bearing liabilities grew by 7.5 percent to $3.12 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2.90 billion for the same period in 2008. The average interest rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 103 basis points from 4.27 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 3.24 percent for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the Federal Reserve Board’s rate cuts, partially offset by intense competition, primarily among Korean-American banks.
Provision for Credit Losses (Restated)
     For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the provision for credit losses was $46.0 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The increase in the provision for credit losses is attributable to increases in net charge-offs, non-performing loans and criticized and classified loans. Net charge-offs increased $4.5 million, or 61.9 percent, from $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $11.8 million for the same period in 2009. Non-performing loans increased from $88.7 million, or 2.68 percent of total gross loans, as of March 31, 2008 to $156.3 million, or 4.71 percent of total gross loans, as of March 31, 2009. See “Non-Performing Assets” and “Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items” for further details. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” for further information regarding the restated amounts.
Non-Interest Income
     The following table sets forth the various components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:
                                 
    Three Months Ended        
    March 31,     Increase (Decrease)  
    2009     2008     Amount     Percentage  
            (Dollars in Thousands)          
Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
  $ 4,315     $ 4,717     $ (402 )     (8.5 %)
Insurance Commissions
    1,182       1,315       (133 )     (10.1 %)
Remittance Fees
    523       505       18       3.6 %
Trade Finance Fees
    506       865       (359 )     (41.5 %)
Other Service Charges and Fees
    483       716       (233 )     (32.5 %)
Bank-Owned Life Insurance Income
    234       240       (6 )     (2.5 %)
Gain on Sales of Securities Available for Sales
    1,167       618       549       88.8 %
Gain on Sales of Loans
    2       213       (211 )     (99.1 %)
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Loss on Securities
    (98 )           (98 )      
Other Income
    66       576       (510 )     (88.5 %)
 
                       
 
                               
Total Non-Interest Income
  $ 8,380     $ 9,765     $ (1,385 )     (14.2 %)
 
                       
     We earn non-interest income from four major sources: service charges on deposit accounts, fees generated from international trade finance, insurance commissions and other service charges and fees. In addition, we sell certain assets primarily for risk management purposes. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income was $8.4 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 14.2 percent, from $9.8 million for the same period in 2008. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily attributable to decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, trade finance fees and other income, partially offset by an increase in gain on sales of securities available for sale.
     Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $402,000, or 8.5 percent, from $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $4.3 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in volume of returned check items and account analysis.
     Fees generated from international trade finance decreased by $359,000, or 41.5 percent, from $865,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $506,000 for the same period in 2009. Trade finance fees relate primarily to import and export letters of credit. The decrease is attributable primarily to a decline in export letter of credit volume due to a soft economy.
     Gain on sales of securities available for sale increased by $549,000, or 88.8 percent, from $618,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.2 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was due to the sale of $37.3 million of investment securities, primarily mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

     We periodically evaluate our investments for OTTI. As of March 31, 2009, we had an investment in a Community Reinvestment Act equity fund that was included in Other Assets. During the first quarter of 2009, we recorded an OTTI charge of $98,000 due to further deterioration in the estimated proceeds to be recovered from two properties in the fund.
     Other income decreased by $510,000, or 88.5 percent, from $576,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $66,000 for the same period in 2009. The decrease was attributable primarily to a $239,000 for the change in fair value of a derivative during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and no such expense for the same period in 2009.
Non-Interest Expense
     The following table sets forth the breakdown of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:
                                 
    Three Months Ended        
    March 31,     Increase (Decrease)  
    2009     2008     Amount     Percentage  
    (Dollars in Thousands)  
Salaries and Employee Benefits
  $ 7,503     $ 11,280     $ (3,777 )     (33.5 %)
Occupancy and Equipment
    2,884       2,782       102       3.7 %
Data Processing
    1,536       1,534       2       0.1 %

    1,490       560       930       166.1 %
Professional Fees
    616       985       (369 )     (37.5 %)
Supplies and Communications
    570       704       (134 )     (19.0 %)
Advertising and Promotion
    569       812       (243 )     (29.9 %)
Amortization of Other Intangible Assets
    429       524       (95 )     (18.1 %)
Other Operating Expenses
    2,655       2,407       248       10.3 %
 
                       
 
                               
Total Non-Interest Expense
  $ 18,252     $ 21,588     $ (3,336 )     (15.5 %)
 
                       
     For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, non-interest expense was $18.3 million and $21.6 million, respectively. The efficiency ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 57.92 percent, compared to 49.11 percent for the same period in 2008. The overall decrease in non-interest expense was due to lower staffing and the reversal of a $2.5 million post-retirement benefit obligation related to bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by higher deposit insurance premiums.
     Salaries and employee benefits decreased $3.8 million, or 33.5 percent, from $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $7.5 million for the same period in 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, an amendment to the bank-owned life insurance policy removed a post-retirement death benefit and a previously accrued liability of $2.5 million for the post-retirement death benefit was reversed. Salaries and employee benefits also decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to our planned reduction in headcount in August 2008 of approximately 10 percent.
     Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments increased $930,000, or 166.1 percent, from $560,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.5 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was due to higher assessment rates for FDIC insurance on deposits.
Provision for Income Taxes (Restated)
     For the three months ended March 31, 2009, income tax benefits of $15.5 million were recognized on pre-tax losses of $32.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 47.4 percent, compared to income taxes of $1.6 million recognized on pre-tax income of $4.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 35.8 percent, for the same period in 2008. The increase in the effective rate was due to fact that the impact of tax-exempt income was additive to the 2009 effective tax rate while subtractive to the 2008 effective tax rate. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” for further information regarding the restated amounts.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Investment Portfolio
     Investment securities are classified as held to maturity or available for sale in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Those securities that we have the ability and the intent to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity.” All other securities are classified as “available for sale.” There were no trading securities as of March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008. Securities classified as held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, and available for sale securities are stated at fair value. The securities currently held consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations.
     As of March 31, 2009, securities held to maturity, at amortized cost, totaled $894,000 and securities available for sale, at fair value, totaled $163.5 million, compared to $910,000 and $197.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.

The decrease was primarily due to the sale of $37.3 million of investment securities, with a $1.2 million gain realized, and $14.6 million of U.S. Government agency securities that were called.
     The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of March 31, 2009, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Although mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations have contractual maturities through 2039, expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

     The impairment losses described previously are not included in the table above as the impairment losses were recorded. All other individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 had investment grade ratings upon purchase. The issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default on these securities and the various rating agencies have reaffirmed these securities’ long-term investment grade status as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intent to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost. Therefore, in management’s opinion, all securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for the past 12 months or longer as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no additional impairment charges as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are warranted.

Non-Performing Assets
     Non-performing loans consist of loans on non-accrual status, which includes loans restructured when there has not been a history of past performance on debt service in accordance with the contractual terms of the restructured loans, and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and OREO. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances surrounding the loan’s delinquency. When an asset is placed on non-accrual 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 collectibility of principal is probable, in which case interest payments are credited to income. Non-accrual assets may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans not meeting the criteria for non-accrual. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management intends to offer for sale.

     Non-accrual loans totaled $155.5 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to $120.8 million as of December 31, 2008, representing a 28.7 percent increase. The increase was primarily due to two commercial term loans (an $8.5 million loan on a golf course in San Diego County and a $3.6 million loan on a gas station in Orange County). Delinquent loans, which are comprised of loans past due 30 or more days and still accruing and non-accrual loans past due 30 or more days, were $164.4 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to $128.5 million as of December 31, 2008, representing a 28.0 percent increase.
     During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we restructured monthly payments on 28 loans, with a net carrying value of $62.0 million, through temporary interest rate reductions of six months or less. For the restructured loans on accrual status, we determined that, based on the financial capabilities of the borrowers at the time of the loan restructuring and the borrowers’ past performance in the payment of debt service under the previous loan terms, we believe that performance and collection under the revised terms is probable. In addition, we determined that these restructured loans are well secured. As of March 31, 2009, troubled debt restructurings on accrual status totaled $61.9 million, all of which were temporary interest rate reductions, and a $2.9 million impairment allowance relating to these loans is included in the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2008, there were no troubled debt restructurings on accrual status.
     We believe that the increases in non-performing loans and delinquent loans are attributable primarily to a current economic recession that is affecting some of our borrowers’ ability to honor their commitments.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items
     Provisions to the allowance for loan losses are made quarterly to recognize probable loan losses. The quarterly provision is based on the allowance need, which is calculated using a formula designed to provide adequate allowances for losses inherent in the portfolio. The formula is made up of various components. The allowance is first determined by assigning reserve ratios for all loans. All loans that are classified are then assigned certain allocations according to type with larger percentages applied to loans deemed to be of a higher risk. These percentages are determined based on the prior loss history by type of loan, adjusted for current economic factors.
     The allowance is based on estimates, and ultimate future losses may vary from current estimates. Underlying trends in the economic cycle, particularly in Southern California, which management cannot completely predict, will influence credit quality. It is possible that future economic or other factors will adversely affect the Bank’s borrowers. As a result, we may sustain loan losses in any particular period that are sizable in relation to the allowance, or exceed the allowance. In addition, our asset quality may deteriorate through a number of possible factors, including rapid growth, failure to maintain or enforce appropriate underwriting standards, failure to maintain an adequate number of qualified loan personnel, and failure to identify and monitor potential problem loans.
     The allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are maintained at levels that are believed to be adequate by management to absorb estimated probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowances is determined through periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other pertinent factors, which are inherently subjective as the process calls for various significant estimates and assumptions. Among other factors, the estimates involve the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows and fair value of collateral on impaired loans, estimated losses on loans based on historical loss experience, various qualitative factors, and uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in the various credit portfolios, which may be subject to substantial change.
     On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification migration model and individual loan review analysis tools as starting points for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items. Our loss migration analysis tracks a certain number of quarters of loan loss history to determine historical losses by classification category (i.e., “pass,” “special mention,” “substandard” and “doubtful”) for each loan type, except certain loans (automobile, mortgage and credit cards), which are analyzed as homogeneous loan pools. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances, unused commitments and off-balance sheet exposures, such as letters of credit. The individual loan review analysis is the other part of the allowance allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolios. Further allowance assignments are made based on general and specific economic conditions, as well as performance trends within specific portfolio segments and individual concentrations of credit.
     We continue to anticipate that the current national and state economic recession will persist well throughout 2009, due in large part to a decline in home prices and sales and home construction activity, as well as other credit quality problems and the high unemployment rate. Responding to this difficult environment, we have made significant changes in our loan policies and procedures in two critical areas. First, we enhanced existing policies and procedures regarding the monitoring of loans to be more stringent and make it more difficult to allow exceptions from our loan policy. Second, we strengthened and centralized the loan underwriting and approval processes, including centralizing the credit underwriting function at two locations, creating a central monitoring mechanism to monitor all loans, and increasing resources in departments of the Bank engaged in addressing problem assets.

     The allowance for loan losses increased by $34.0 million, or 47.8 percent, to $104.9 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to $71.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The increase in the allowance for loan losses in 2009 was due primarily to the increased migration of loans into more adverse risk rating categories and increases in non-performing and delinquent loans. See “Provision for Credit Losses.” In addition, the allowance reflects higher estimated loss severity arising from a softening economy, partially offset by our better collateral coverage on certain impaired loans and the presence of guarantees. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans substantially increased to 3.16 percent as of March 31, 2009, compared to 2.11 percent as of December 31, 2008, primarily due to the overall increase of historical loss factors and classified loans.
     The Bank also recorded in Other Liabilities an allowance for off-balance sheet exposure, primarily unfunded loan commitments, of $4.3 million and $4.1 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Based on management’s evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality and prevailing economic conditions, we believe these reserves are adequate for losses inherent in the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposure as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

     Total deposits increased $126.0 million, or 4.1 percent, to $3,196.1 million as of March 31, 2009 from $3,070.1 million as of December 31, 2008, reflecting a successful deposit campaign that was initiated to address liquidity concerns. The goals of the deposit campaign were to increase total deposits and decrease brokered deposits.
     We accept brokered deposits on a selective basis at prudent interest rates to augment deposit growth. Brokered deposits decreased by $296.4 million from $874.2 million as of December 31, 2008 to $577.8 million as of March 31, 2009. The majority of our brokered deposits mature in less than one year. Brokered deposits are not a guaranteed source of funds, which may affect our ability to raise necessary liquidity.
     On October 3, 2008, FDIC deposit insurance on most accounts was increased from $100,000 to $250,000. This increase is in place until the end of 2009. As of March 31, 2009, time deposits of $250,000 or more were $955.4 million.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Other Borrowings
     FHLB advances and other borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB of San Francisco and overnight federal funds. As of March 31, 2009, advances from the FHLB were $311.1 million, a decrease of $111.1 million, or 26.3 percent, from the December 31, 2008 balance of $422.2 million. FHLB advances were utilized to fund loans or maintain liquidity due to favorable rates. There were no overnight federal funds as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. FHLB advances as of March 31, 2009 with a remaining maturity of less than one year were $50.0 million, and the weighted-average interest rate thereon was 3.46 percent.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
     During the first half of 2004, we issued two junior subordinated notes bearing interest at the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.90 percent totaling $61.8 million and one junior subordinated note bearing interest at the three-month LIBOR plus 2.63 percent totaling $20.6 million. The outstanding subordinated debentures related to these offerings, the proceeds of which were used to finance the purchase of PUB, totaled $82.4 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. In October 2008, we committed to the FRB that no interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures would be made without the prior written consent of the FRB. Therefore, in order to preserve its capital position, Hanmi Financial’s Board of Directors has elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment due on January 15, 2009.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
     Interest rate risk indicates our exposure to market interest rate fluctuations. The movement of interest rates directly and inversely affects the economic value of fixed-income assets, which is the present value of future cash flow discounted by the current interest rate; under the same conditions, the higher the current interest rate, the higher the denominator of discounting. Interest rate risk management is intended to decrease or increase the level of our exposure to market interest rates. The level of interest rate risk can be managed through such means as the changing of gap positions and the volume of fixed-income assets. For successful management of interest rate risk, we use various methods to measure existing and future interest rate risk exposures, giving effect to historical attrition rates of core deposits. In addition to regular reports used in business operations, repricing gap analysis, stress testing and simulation modeling are the main measurement techniques used to quantify interest rate risk exposure.

     The repricing gap analysis measures the static timing of repricing risk of assets and liabilities (i.e., a point-in-time analysis measuring the difference between assets maturing or repricing in a period and liabilities maturing or repricing within the same period). Assets are assigned to maturity and repricing categories based on their expected repayment or repricing dates, and liabilities are assigned based on their repricing or maturity dates. Core deposits that have no maturity dates (demand deposits, savings, money market checking and NOW accounts) are assigned to categories based on expected decay rates.

     As of March 31, 2009, the cumulative repricing gap for the three-month period was asset-sensitive position and 29.40 percent of interest-earning assets, which decreased from the previous quarter’s figure of 31.20 percent. The decrease was caused primarily by a decrease of $221.7 million in floating rate loans with maturities or expected to reprice within three months, partially offset by a decrease of $108.5 million in FHLB advances and other borrowings with maturities or expected to reprice within three months. The cumulative repricing gap for the twelve-month period was liability-sensitive position and 16.39 percent of interest-earning assets, which decreased from the previous quarter’s figure of 4.08 percent. The decrease was caused primarily by a decrease of $223.4 million in floating rate loans with maturities or expected to reprice within twelve months and an increase of $303.6 million in fixed rate time deposits with maturities or expected to reprice within twelve months, partially offset by a decrease of $104.1 million in FHLB advances and other borrowings with maturities or expected to reprice within twelve months.

     The spread between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is the principal component of net interest income, and interest rate changes substantially affect our financial performance. We emphasize capital protection through stable earnings rather than maximizing yield. In order to achieve stable earnings, we prudently manage our assets and liabilities and closely monitor the percentage changes in net interest income and equity value in relation to limits established within our guidelines.
     To supplement traditional gap analysis, we perform simulation modeling to estimate the potential effects of interest rate changes. The following table summarizes one of the stress simulations performed to forecast the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and the market value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet (i.e., an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of the magnitude indicated). This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify the maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, given the basis point adjustment in interest rates reflected below.

     The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Capital Resources
     In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, the Board continually assesses projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and levels of risk. Management considers, among other things, earnings generated from operations, and access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional securities, including common stock or notes, to meet our capital needs. Total stockholders’ equity was $248.2 million as of March 31, 2009, which represented a decrease of $15.7 million, or 5.9 percent, compared to $263.9 million as of December 31, 2008.
     Although both Hanmi Financial and the Bank were well-capitalized as of March 31, 2009, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be well-capitalized. We have applied to participate in the TARP CPP for an investment of up to $105 million from the Treasury, but we are still waiting a final decision from the Treasury as to whether we will be able to participate in this program. We are exploring alternative funding arrangements for raising capital if we are unable to participate in the TARP CPP.
     Liquidity — Hanmi Financial
     Hanmi Financial is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity. Substantially all of Hanmi Financial’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. Under applicable California law, the Bank cannot make any distribution (including a cash dividend) to its shareholder (Hanmi Financial) in an amount which exceeds the lesser of: (i) the retained earnings of the Bank or (ii) the net income of the Bank for its last three fiscal years, less the amount of any distributions made by the Bank to its shareholder during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior approval of the California Commissioner of Financial Institutions, the Bank may make a distribution (including a cash dividend) to Hanmi Financial in an amount not exceeding the greatest of: (i) the retained earnings of the Bank; (ii) the net income of the Bank for its last fiscal year; or (iii) the net income of the Bank for its current fiscal year. The Bank currently has deficit retained earnings and has suffered net losses in 2007, 2008 and 2009. As a result, the California Financial Code does not provide authority for the Bank to declare a dividend to Hanmi Financial, with or without Commissioner approval. In addition, the Bank is prohibited by the MOU described in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Note 11 — Regulatory Matters” from paying dividends to Hanmi Financial unless it receives prior regulatory approval.
     Currently, management believes that Hanmi Financial, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets through December 31, 2009 to meet its operating cash needs. On August 29, 2008, we elected to suspend payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock in order to preserve our capital position. In addition, Hanmi Financial has also elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment due on January 15, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, Hanmi Financial’s liquid assets, including amounts deposited with the Bank, totaled $3.6 million, up from $2.2 million as of December 31, 2008.
     Liquidity — Hanmi Bank
     Management believes that Hanmi Bank, on a stand-alone basis, has adequate liquid assets to meet its current obligations, which include deposits and FHLB borrowings. In addition to its deposits, the Bank’s principal source of liquidity is its ability to utilize borrowings, as needed. The Bank’s primary source of borrowings is the FHLB. The Bank is eligible to borrow up to 20 percent of its total assets from the FHLB. The Bank has pledged investment securities available for sale and loans receivable as collateral with the FHLB for this borrowing facility. As of March 31, 2009, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $732.9 million and $421.8 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

     As of March 31, 2009, the Bank’s FHLB borrowings totaled $311.1 million, representing 8.0 percent of total assets. As of May 6, 2009, the Bank’s FHLB borrowings totaled $311.0 million and the remaining available borrowing capacity was $316.5 million. The amount that the FHLB is willing to advance differs based on the quality and character of qualifying collateral offered by the Bank, and the advance rates for qualifying collateral may be adjusted upwards or downwards by the FHLB from time to time. To the extent deposit renewals and deposit growth are not sufficient to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and investment securities and otherwise fund working capital needs and capital expenditures, the Bank may utilize the remaining borrowing capacity from its FHLB borrowing arrangement.
     As an additional source of funding, we significantly increased our borrowing capacity with the FRB. On December 31, 2008, we received approval for participation in the Borrower-in-Custody Program, where a broad range of loans may be pledged and borrowed against it through the Fed Discount Window. We may also pledge securities available for sale on this short-term (generally not to exceed three months) borrowing facility. As of March 31, 2009, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral with the FRB amounted to $1,104.9 million and there were no pledges of investment securities available for sale. As of March 31, 2009, we had $828.7 million available for use through this short-term borrowing facility and there were no borrowings. As of May 6, 2009, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral with the FRB amounted to $1,036.8 million and there were no pledges of investment securities available for sale. Effective April 27, 2009, the FRB changed lendable values for group deposited loans pledged by all participating institutions for the Fed Discount Window to reflect recent trends in the values of some types of loans. For the types of our loans pledged to the Fed Discount Window, the lendable value used to calculate total borrowing capacity was changed from 75 percent to 65 percent. As of May 6, 2009, we had $673.9 million available for use through this short-term borrowing facility and there were no borrowings.
     When the FHLB and FRB borrowing facilities are combined, the total borrowing capacity available based on pledged collateral and the remaining available borrowing capacity were $1,561.6 million and $1,250.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2009, and $1,301.4 million and $990.4 million, respectively, as of May 6, 2009.
     As a means of augmenting our current liquidity sources, we are participating in the FDIC Debt Guarantee Program, which will enable us to issue up to two percent of our liabilities (approximately $70.0 million) in senior unsecured debt. Given that there is no cost involved in our participation if we do not issue debt under the program, we believe continuing to participate in the Debt Guarantee Program helps us to maintain a cushion of extra liquidity.
     In March 2009, we completed a deposit campaign, which was initiated in mid-December 2008, to help address our liquidity needs. The goals of the deposit campaign were to increase total deposits and decrease brokered deposits. As a result, total deposits increased by $126.0 million from $3,070.1 million as of December 31, 2008 to $3,196.1 million as of March 31, 2009. Brokered deposits decreased by $296.4 million from $874.2 million as of December 31, 2008 to $577.8 million as of March 31, 2009.
     Current market conditions have also limited the Bank’s liquidity sources principally to secured funding outlets, such as the FHLB and FRB, in addition to deposits originated through the Bank’s branch network and from brokered deposits. There can be no assurance that actions by the FHLB or FRB would not reduce the Bank’s borrowing capacity or that we would be able to continue to replace deposits at competitive rates. If the Bank’s capital ratio falls below well capitalized, the Bank would need regulatory consent before accepting brokered deposits. Over the next 12 months, approximately $2.2 billion of time deposits will mature. Although current prevailing market rates are much lower than the rates of these time deposits, there can be no assurances that we will be able to replace these time deposits with other deposits. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. However, if we are unable to replace these maturing deposits with new deposits, we believe that we have adequate liquidity resources to fund this need with our secured funding outlets with the FHLB and FRB.

Capital Ratios
     The regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent. For a bank rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banks, the minimum leverage ratio is 3.0 percent. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.
     As of March 31, 2009, Hanmi Financial’s Tier 1 capital (stockholders’ equity plus junior subordinated debentures less intangible assets) was $321.6 million. This represented a decrease of $16.5 million, or 4.9 percent, over Tier 1 capital of $338.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The capital ratios of Hanmi Financial and Hanmi Bank were as follows as of March 31, 2009 (restated):

     See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” for further information regarding the restated amounts. See “Regulatory Matters” for further discussion regarding capital ratio requirements.
     We will continue to closely evaluate our capital levels to determine the need to raise additional capital, and intend to maintain our “well capitalized” position for regulatory purposes.
Government Programs
     On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was enacted to restore confidence and stabilize the volatility in the U.S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other. Initially introduced as the TARP, the EESA authorized the Treasury to purchase from financial institutions and their holding companies up to $700 billion in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions and their holding companies in a troubled asset relief program. Initially, $350 billion, or half of the $700 billion, was made immediately available to the Treasury. On January 15, 2009, the remaining $350 billion was released to the Treasury.
     On October 14, 2008, the Treasury announced its intention to inject capital into nine large U.S. financial institutions under the TARP CPP, and since has injected capital into many other financial institutions. The Treasury initially allocated $250 billion towards the TARP CPP. We have filed an application for TARP CPP funds, which remains pending with the Treasury. Under the terms of the TARP CPP, if Hanmi Financial enters into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Treasury to sell to the Treasury preferred stock and warrants, we would be prohibited from increasing dividends on our common stock, and from making certain repurchases of equity securities, including our common stock, without the Treasury’s consent. Furthermore, as long as the preferred stock issued to the Treasury under the TARP CPP is outstanding, dividend payments and repurchases or redemptions relating to certain equity securities, including common stock, are prohibited until all accrued and unpaid dividends are paid on such preferred stock, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Table of Contents

     We have applied to participate in the TARP CPP for an investment of up to $105 million from the Federal Government, but we are still waiting a final decision from the Treasury as to whether we will be able to participate in this program.
     On February 10, 2009, the Treasury and the federal bank regulatory agencies announced in a Joint Statement a new Financial Stability Plan, which would include additional capital support for banks under a Capital Assistance Program, a public-private investment fund to address existing bank loan portfolios and expanded funding for the FRB’s pending Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility to restart lending and the securitization markets.
     On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) was signed into law by President Obama. The ARRA includes a wide variety of programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. In addition, the ARRA imposes certain new executive compensation and corporate expenditure limits on all current and future TARP recipients until the institution has repaid the Treasury, which is now permitted under the ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to the Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate regulatory agency.
     The executive compensation standards are more stringent than those currently in effect under the TARP CPP or those previously proposed by the Treasury. The new standards include (but are not limited to): (i) prohibitions on bonuses, retention awards and other incentive compensation, other than restricted stock grants which do not fully vest during the TARP period up to one-third of an employee’s total annual compensation; (ii) prohibitions on golden parachute payments for departure from a company; (iii) an expanded clawback of bonuses, retention awards and incentive compensation if payment is based on materially inaccurate statements of earnings, revenues, gains or other criteria; (iv) prohibitions on compensation plans that encourage manipulation of reported earnings; (v) retroactive review of bonuses, retention awards and other compensation previously provided by TARP recipients if found by the Treasury to be inconsistent with the purposes of the TARP or otherwise contrary to public interest; (vi) required establishment of a company-wide policy regarding “excessive or luxury expenditures;” and (vii) inclusion in a participant’s proxy statements for annual shareholder meetings of a non-binding “Say on Pay” shareholder vote on the compensation of executives. If Hanmi Financial were to receive TARP CPP funds, we would be required to comply with these requirements and additionally other requirements adopted in the new legislation as discussed below.
     On February 25, 2009, the Treasury announced the terms and conditions with respect to the Capital Assistance Program (“CAP”) including: (i) that the CAP will include “stress test” assessments of major banks and that should the “stress test” indicate that an additional capital buffer is warranted, institutions will have an opportunity to turn first to private sources of capital; otherwise the temporary capital buffer will be made available from the government; (ii) such additional government capital will be in the form of mandatory convertible preferred shares, which would be converted into common equity shares only as needed over time to keep banks in a well-capitalized position and can be retired under improved financial conditions before the conversion becomes mandatory; and (iii) previous capital injections under the TARP CPP will also be eligible to be exchanged for the mandatory convertible preferred shares. The conversion of preferred shares to common equity shares would enable institutions to maintain or enhance the quality of their capital by increasing their tangible common equity capital ratios; however, such conversions would necessarily dilute the interests of existing shareholders.
Regulatory Matters
     Hanmi Financial and the Bank are subject to extensive federal and state supervision and regulation by certain regulatory agencies. In connection with such supervision and their recent examinations, the regulatory agencies will require that certain deficiencies in our policies, procedures or activities be corrected in the future. If such matters are not corrected in the future or significant progress is not made on such matters, then Hanmi Financial and/or the Bank may face additional regulatory action that may have an impact on the operations of Hanmi Financial and the Bank.

Table of Contents

     On October 8, 2008, the members of the Board of the Bank entered into an informal supervisory agreement (a memorandum of understanding) with the Regulators to address certain issues raised in the Bank’s most recent regulatory examination by the DFI on March 10, 2008. Certain of the issues to be addressed by management under the terms of the memorandum of understanding relate to the following, among others: (i) Board and senior management maintenance and succession planning; (ii) Board oversight and education; (iii) Board assessment and enhancement; (iv) loan policies and procedures; (v) allowance for loan losses policies and procedures; (vi) liquidity and funds management policies; (vii) strategic planning; (viii) capital maintenance, including a requirement that the Bank maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of not less than 8.0 percent; and (ix) restrictions on the payment of dividends without the Regulators’ prior approval. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.10 percent and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of 8.28 percent, both above the required 8.0 percent levels. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.85 percent and tangible stockholder’s equity to total tangible assets ratio of 8.68 percent.
     The Board and management are committed to addressing and resolving the issues raised in the memorandum of understanding on a timely basis. Since completion of the March 10, 2008 regulatory examination, actions have already been undertaken to resolve or make progress on many of the issues raised by the memorandum of understanding.
     Separately, Hanmi Financial has committed to the FRB that it will adopt a consolidated capital plan to augment and maintain a sufficient consolidated capital position. In addition, Hanmi Financial has agreed that it will not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any payments on its junior subordinated debentures or any other capital distributions without the prior written consent of the FRB, and (ii) incur, increase or renew any existing debt or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock without the prior written consent of the FRB. In order to preserve its capital position, the Board of Hanmi Financial has elected to defer quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures until further notice, beginning with the interest payment due on January 15, 2009. Finally, Hanmi Financial has agreed to provide prior written notice and obtain the consent of the FRB prior to appointing any new directors or senior executive officers.
Dividends
     The ability of Hanmi Financial to pay dividends to our stockholders is directly dependent on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Hanmi Financial. Section 642 of the California Financial Code provides that neither a California state-chartered bank nor a majority-owned subsidiary of a bank can pay dividends to its stockholders in an amount which exceeds the lesser of (a) the retained earnings of the bank; or (b) the net income of the bank for its last three fiscal years, in each case less the amount of any previous distributions made during such period. Because of the net loss incurred by the Bank in 2007, the Bank is currently not able to pay dividends to Hanmi Financial under Section 642. Financial Code Section 643 provides, alternatively, that, notwithstanding the foregoing restriction, dividends in an amount not exceeding the greatest of (a) the retained earnings of the bank; (b) the net income of the bank for its last fiscal year; or (c) the net income of the bank for its current fiscal year may be declared with the prior approval of the California Commissioner of Financial Institutions (the “Commissioner”). The Bank had a retained deficit of $57.7 million and $53.5 million as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Because of the net loss for the first three months of 2009, neither Section 642 or 643 is currently available to the Bank to declare a dividend to Hanmi Financial. Although dividends from the Bank constitute the primary source of income to Hanmi Financial, Hanmi Financial has other limited sources of income including cash, earnings on assets held at the holding company and funds otherwise obtained from capital raising efforts at Hanmi Financial. Use of such funds for payments of interest or dividends is subject to receipt of prior regulatory approval.
     Similarly, the net loss for 2008 requires prior FRB approval of bank dividends in 2009 to Hanmi Financial. FRB Regulation H Section 208.5 provides that the Bank must obtain FRB approval to declare and pay a dividend if the total of all dividends declared during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of the Bank’s net income during the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years. If permitted by regulation and subject to the discretion of the Board, the Bank will seek prior approval from the Regulators to pay cash dividends to Hanmi Financial. There can be no assurance when or if these approvals would be granted, or that, even if granted, the Board would authorize cash dividends to our stockholders.

Table of Contents

     On August 29, 2008, the Board of Hanmi Financial announced that it had decided to suspend the quarterly cash dividend previously paid in order to maintain liquidity and conserve capital. In addition, the Board of Hanmi Financial announced that it has decided to start deferring interest payments on its junior subordinated debentures. Pursuant to the documents governing the junior subordinated debentures, Hanmi Financial is prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock while it is deferring interest payments. Hanmi Financial may defer interest payments on its junior subordinate debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters before it would be considered to be in default under the instruments governing the junior subordinated debentures. Future dividend payments are subject to the future earnings, legal and regulatory requirements, including the pre-approval from the FRB, and the discretion of the Board. The Board reviews the prudence of a dividend each quarter.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Business — Off-Balance Sheet Commitments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
     There were no material changes to the contractual obligations described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
     FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements. The provisions of FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for the interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. If a reporting entity elects to adopt early either FSP No. FAS 157-4 or FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, the reporting entity also is required to adopt early this FSP. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We will adopt FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the second quarter of 2009 and are currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 may have on our financial condition and results of operations.
     FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, which amends current other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The provisions of FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for the interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. If a reporting entity elects to adopt early either FSP No. FAS 157-4 or FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, the reporting entity also is required to adopt early this FSP. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We will adopt FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in the second quarter of 2009 and are currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 may have on our financial condition and results of operations.

     FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-4, which provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This FSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-4 are effective for the interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. If a reporting entity elects to adopt early either FSP Nos. FAS 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2 or FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, the reporting entity also is required to adopt early this FSP. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. We will adopt FSP No. FAS 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009 and are currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-4 may have on our financial condition and results of operations.
     FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 99-20” - In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, which revises the OTTI guidance on beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are within the scope of EITF Issue No. 99-20. FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends EITF Issue No. 99-20 to more closely align its OTTI guidance with paragraph 16 of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” by (1) removing the notion of a “market participant” and (2) inserting a “probable” concept related to the estimation of a beneficial interest’s cash flows. FSP EITF 99-20-1 is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2008. Retrospective application of FSP EITF 99-20-1 is prohibited. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
     EITF Issue No. 08-5, “Issuer’s Accounting for Liabilities Measured at Fair Value With a Third-Party Credit Enhancement” - In September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-5, which provides guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an attached third-party credit enhancement (such as a guarantee). It clarifies that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement (such as a guarantee) should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value measurement of the liability. EITF Issue 08-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
     FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” - In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, which clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
     FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” - In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP No. FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP No. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

     SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51” - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, which requires that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (i.e., minority interest) be reported in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet instead of being reported as a liability or in the mezzanine section between debt and equity. It also requires that the consolidated statement of operations include net income attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest of a consolidated subsidiary. In addition, regardless of whether the parent purchases additional ownership interest, sells a portion of its ownership interest in a subsidiary or the subsidiary participates in a transaction that changes the parent’s ownership interest, as long as the parent retains controlling interest, the transaction is considered an equity transaction. SFAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
     SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquiring company (1) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (2) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (3) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 141(R), effective for us on January 1, 2009, applies to all transactions or other events in which we obtain control in one or more businesses. Management will assess each transaction on a case-by-case basis as they occur.
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     For quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding market risks in Hanmi Bank’s portfolio, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - Interest Rate Risk Management” and “- Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     As of March 31, 2009, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Based upon that evaluation and due to the restatement of the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009, as discussed in the “Explanatory Note” to this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2009.
     Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     No change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
