HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS
NET INCOME OF $15.0 MILLION FOR THIRD QUARTER OF 2005;

EARNINGS PER SHARE INCREASE 36 PERCENT TO $0.30
     LOS ANGELES – October 27, 2005 – Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:HAFC), the holding company for Hanmi Bank, reported that for the three months ended September 30, 2005, it earned net income of $15.0 million, an increase of 35.2 percent over net income of $11.1 million in the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.30 (diluted), an increase of 36.4 percent compared to $0.22 (diluted) for the same period in 2004. Earnings per share for 2004 have been restated to reflect a 100 percent stock dividend in January 2005.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income was $43.3 million, an increase of 73.4 percent over net income of $25.0 million in the comparable period a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.86 (diluted), an increase of 38.7 percent compared to $0.62 (diluted) for the same period in 2004.
     “I am pleased to report that with the close of the third quarter, Hanmi’s assets were a record $3.37 billion, thanks in large part to an increase in deposits during the quarter of $187 million, or 7.3 percent, to $2.75 billion,” said Sung Won Sohn, Ph.D., Hanmi’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “However, third-quarter net income, although well ahead of the comparable period last year, was essentially flat versus the prior quarter, with third-quarter net interest margin of 4.75 percent compared to 4.89 percent in the second quarter and 4.38 percent in the third quarter of 2004.”
     “The sequential pressure on margins came despite a modest increase in the yield on the loan portfolio and reflected an increase in cost of funds as we relied more heavily on time deposits to build assets and, more important, maintain our base of existing customers,” said Dr. Sohn. “The market environment for both loans and deposits remains extremely competitive. On a positive note, however, our liquidity is now such that we are well positioned to fund anticipated loan growth in the fourth quarter, which will benefit from the opening of two SBA lending offices in October, and we expect to be more conservative in pricing deposits.”
     “Also on a positive note, we continue to streamline the bank’s operations, to good effect,” concluded Dr. Sohn. “In the third quarter, our efficiency ratio was 38.34 percent, compared to 40.30 percent in the prior quarter and 51.12 percent a year ago.”

NET INTEREST INCOME BEFORE PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
     Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $34.8 million for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $797,000, or 2.3 percent, compared to $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2005, and an increase of $5.0 million, or 16.9 percent, compared to $29.8 million for the same quarter in 2004.
     The sequential increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning assets, which increased by $120.1 million, or 4.3 percent, to $2.91 billion for the third quarter of 2005, compared to $2.79 billion for the second quarter of 2005. The effect of the increase in interest-earning assets was offset by a decline in net interest margin, which decreased 14 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2005, and accounted for a $171 thousand decrease in net interest income.
     The yield on the loan portfolio increased 29 basis points sequentially to 7.62 percent for the third quarter of 2005, while the yield on investment securities decreased 20 basis points to 4.02 percent as a result of prepayment activity in the portfolio of collateralized mortgage obligations. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 22 basis points to 7.04 percent, while the Company’s cost of funds increased 47 basis points to 3.22 percent as a result of a strategic decision to offer our loyal customers market rates on time certificates of deposit.
     The year-over-year increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning assets, which increased by $174.0 million, or 6.4 percent, over the same quarter in 2004 and provided an additional $12.6 million of interest income compared with the same quarter in 2004. The majority of this growth was funded by a $212.4 million, or 8.7 percent, increase in average deposits.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
     The provision for credit losses represents the charge against current earnings that is determined by management, through a disciplined credit review process, to be the amount needed to maintain an allowance that is sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. The provision for credit losses was $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $450 thousand in the second quarter of 2005 and $0 in the same quarter of 2004. In the third quarter of 2005, net charge-offs were $0.6 million, compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $1.5 million in the same quarter of 2004. The increase in provision for credit losses is attributable to specific provisions associated with an increase of $1.9 million in non-accrual loans in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the prior quarter and an increase in the general provision requirements caused by the migration of risk ratings, particularly with respect to non-accrual loans.
     As of September 30, 2005, non-performing loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio and as a percentage of the allowance for loan losses were 0.32 percent and 32.2 percent, respectively, compared to 0.25 percent and 27.7 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2005 and 0.27 percent and 26.5 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2004.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
     Non-interest income increased by $2.0 million, or 27.3 percent, to $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 and by $2.1 million, or 29.3 percent, compared to $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2004. Gain on sales of loans increased to $1.7 million, compared to $56 thousand for the second quarter of 2005 and $352 thousand for the same quarter in 2004, due to an increase in loans sold, while SBA loan originations increased 49.3 percent over the second quarter.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
     Non-interest expenses increased by $779 thousand, or 4.8 percent, to $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2005. Salaries and employee benefits increased 7.1 percent to $9.2 million, compared with $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2005, and the decrease in the fair value of embedded options was $173 thousand in the third quarter of 2005, compared with a decrease of $2 thousand for the second quarter of 2005.
     Non-interest expenses decreased by $2.0 million, or 10.5 percent, to $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $19.0 million for the same quarter in 2004. Merger-related expenses for the acquisition of Pacific Union Bank were $325 thousand in the third quarter of 2004. Salaries and employee benefits decreased 3.7 percent to $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $9.5 million for the same quarter in 2004.
     The efficiency ratio (non-interest expenses, excluding the reversal of restructuring reserves totaling $509 thousand for the second quarter of 2005, divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income) for the third quarter of 2005 was 38.34 percent, compared to 40.30 percent in the second quarter of 2005 and 51.12 percent for the same quarter in 2004.

INCOME TAXES
     The provision for income taxes was $9.2 million at a 38.1 percent effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2005, compared to $9.8 million at a 39.4 percent effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005 and $7.1 million at a 39.0 percent effective tax rate for the same quarter in 2004. In the third quarter of 2005, the Company recognized certain affordable housing investment and Enterprise Zone tax credits, which reduced its effective tax rate by 0.7 percent.
FINANCIAL POSITION
     Total assets were $3.37 billion at September 30, 2005, an increase of $116.6 million, or 3.6 percent, compared to the June 30, 2005 balance of $3.25 billion, and an increase of $264.2 million, or 8.5 percent, compared to the December 31, 2004 balance of $3.10 billion.
     At September 30, 2005, net loans totaled $2.46 billion, an increase of $54.9 million, or 2.3 percent, from $2.40 billion at June 30, 2005. Real estate loans increased by $32.2 million to $967.0 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $934.8 million at June 30, 2005. Commercial loans grew by $20.2 million to $1.43 billion at September 30, 2005, compared to $1.41 billion at June 30, 2005.
     The growth in total assets was funded by increases in customer deposits of $186.8 million, up 7.3 percent to $2.75 billion at September 30, 2005, compared to $2.56 billion at June 30, 2005. These rising balances included increases in time deposits of $100 thousand or more of $173.7 million, up 19.0 percent to $1.09 billion, other time deposits of $32.3 million, up 14.3 percent to $258.3 million, and non-interest-bearing accounts of $6.9 million, up 0.9 percent to $764.4 million, partially offset by decreases in money market checking accounts of $12.1 million, down 2.3 percent to $506.8 million, and savings accounts of $14.1 million, down 10.0 percent to $127.3 million.
     The Company’s borrowings mostly take the form of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”). Advances from the FHLB were $68.6 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $100.7 million at June 30, 2005 and $66.4 million at December 31, 2004.
ASSET QUALITY
     Total non-performing assets, including accruing loans 90 days or more past due, non-accrual loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) assets, increased by $1.8 million to $7.9 million at September 30, 2005 from $6.1 million at June 30, 2005. Non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans increased to 0.32 percent at September 30, 2005 from 0.25 percent at June 30, 2005.
     At September 30, 2005, accruing loans 90 days or more past due were $270 thousand, down $139 thousand from $409 thousand at June 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, non-accrual loans were $7.6 million, up $1.9 million from $5.7 million at June 30, 2005. The increase was due primarily to three loans, totaling $2.2 million, being placed on non-accrual status in the third quarter. Loans 30 days or more delinquent increased approximately $3.7 million in the third quarter. There were no OREO assets at September 30, 2005 or June 30, 2005.
     At September 30, 2005, the allowance for loan losses was $24.5 million, and represented management’s best estimate of the amount needed to maintain an allowance that management believes should be sufficient to absorb probable loan losses inherent in its loan portfolio in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Company maintained a liability for off-balance sheet exposure totaling $2.0 million at September 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.99 percent of gross loans and 310.7 percent of non-performing loans at September 30, 2005. The comparable ratios were 0.91 percent of gross loans and 361.6 percent of non-performing loans at June 30, 2005.
