PART I

Item 1.   Business

General

Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” “we” or “us”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 14, 2000 pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger to be the holding company for Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”). Hanmi Financial became the holding company for the Bank in June 2000 and is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”). Hanmi Financial also elected financial holding company status under the BHCA in 2000. Our principal office is located at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, Los Angeles, California 90010, and our telephone number is(213) 382-2200.

Hanmi Bank, our primary subsidiary, is a state chartered bank incorporated under the laws of the State of California on August 24, 1981, and licensed by the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) on December 15, 1982. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDI Act”) up to applicable limits thereof, and the Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The Bank’s headquarters is located at 3660 Wilshire Boulevard, Penthouse Suite A, Los Angeles, California 90010.

The Bank is a community bank conducting general business banking, with its primary market encompassing theKorean-American community as well as other communities in the multi-ethnic populations of Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County, the San Francisco Bay area, and the Silicon Valley area in Santa Clara County. The Bank’s full-service offices are located in business areas where many of the businesses are run by immigrants and other minority groups. The Bank’s client base reflects the multi-ethnic composition of these communities. At December 31, 2007, the Bank maintained a branch network of 24 full-service branch offices in California and eight loan production offices in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

Our other subsidiaries are Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc. (“Chun-Ha”) and All World Insurance Services, Inc. (“All World”), which were acquired in January 2007. Founded in 1989, Chun-Ha and All World are insurance brokerages that offer a complete line of insurance products, including life, commercial, automobile, health, and property and casualty.

Market Area

The Bank historically has provided its banking services through its branch network, located primarily in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles, to a wide variety of small- to medium-sized businesses. In recent years, it has expanded its service areas through de novo branching to Orange County, San Bernardino County, the Silicon Valley area in Santa Clara County, and San Diego County, and through acquisition to the San Francisco Bay area and the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area.

Throughout the Bank’s service areas, competition is intense for both loans and deposits. While the market for banking services is dominated by a few nationwide banks with many offices operating over a wide geographic area, savings banks, thrift and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, insurance companies and other lending institutions, the Bank’s primary competitors are relatively smaller community banks that focus their marketing efforts onKorean-American businesses in the Bank’s service areas. Substantially all of our assets are located in, and substantially all of our revenues are derived from clients located within, the State of California.

In 2007, the Bank opened two full-service branch offices in Fullerton, California and Rancho Cucamonga, California. In 2005 and 2006, the Bank opened loan production offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Annandale. These offices will expand our geographic coverage by providing commercial and industrial, real estate and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. The Bank also has loan production offices in Los Angeles, California; the San Jose, California metropolitan area; and the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area. We plan to continue to expand our business services by opening additional loan production offices in selected locations throughout the United States. The Bank is a preferred SBA lender in the following SBA districts: California (Los Angeles, Santa Ana, San Diego, Fresno, San Francisco and Sacramento), Portland, Seattle, Anchorage, Denver, Texas (Dallas and Houston), Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, New Jersey and New York.

Lending Activities

The Bank originates loans for its own portfolio and for sale in the secondary market. Lending activities include real estate loans (commercial property, construction and residential property), commercial and industrial loans (commercial term loans, commercial lines of credit, SBA loans and international trade finance), and consumer loans.

Real Estate Loans

Real estate lending involves risks associated with the potential decline in the value of the underlying real estate collateral and the cash flow from income-producing properties. Declines in real estate values and cash flows can be caused by a number of factors, including adversity in general economic conditions, rising interest rates, changes in tax and other laws and regulations affecting the holding of real estate, environmental conditions, governmental and other use restrictions, development of competitive properties and increasing vacancy rates. When real estate values decline, the Bank’s real estate dependence increases the risk of loss both in the Bank’s loan portfolio and any holdings of other real estate owned because of foreclosures on loans.

Commercial Property

The Bank offers commercial real estate loans. These loans are generally collateralized by first deeds of trust. For these commercial mortgage loans, the Bank obtains formal appraisals in accordance with applicable regulations to support the value of the real estate collateral. All appraisal reports on commercial mortgage loans are reviewed by an appraisal review officer. The review generally covers an examination of the appraiser’s assumptions and methods that were used to derive a value for the property, as well as compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional

2

Appraisal Practice (the “USPAP”). The Bank first looks to cash flow from the borrower to repay the loan and then to cash flow from the business. The majority of the properties securing these loans are located in Los Angeles County and Orange County.

The Bank’s commercial real estate loans are principally secured by investor-owned commercial buildings and owner-occupied commercial and industrial buildings. Generally, these types of loans are made for a period of up to seven years. Monthly payments are based upon a portion of the principal plus accrued interest. These loans usually have a loan-to-value ratio of 65 percent or less, using an adjustable rate indexed to the prime rate appearing in the West Coast edition ofThe Wall Street Journal(“WSJ Prime Rate”) or the Bank’s prime rate (“Bank Prime Rate”), as adjusted from time to time. The Bank also offers fixed-rate commercial real estate loans, including hybrid-fixed rate loans that are fixed for one to five years and convert to adjustable rate loans for the remaining term. Amortization schedules for commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed 25 years.

Payments on loans secured by investor-owned and owner-occupied properties are often dependent upon successful operation or management of the properties. Repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to the risk of adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including limiting the size of such loans in relation to the market value of the property and strictly scrutinizing the property securing the loan. The Bank manages these risks in a variety of ways, including vacancy and interest rate hike sensitivity analysis at the time of loan origination and quarterly risk assessment of the total commercial real estate secured loan portfolio that includes most recent industry trends. When possible, the Bank also obtains corporate or individual guarantees from financially capable parties. Representatives of the Bank visit all of the properties securing the Bank’s real estate loans before the loans are approved. The Bank requires title insurance insuring the status of its lien on all of the real estate secured loans when a trust deed on the real estate is taken as collateral. The Bank also requires the borrower to maintain fire insurance, extended coverage casualty insurance and, if the property is in a flood zone, flood insurance, in an amount equal to the outstanding loan balance, subject to applicable laws that may limit the amount of hazard insurance a lender can require to replace such improvements. We cannot assure that these procedures will protect against losses on loans secured by real property.

Construction

The Bank finances the construction of multifamily, low-income housing, commercial and industrial properties within its market area. The future condition of the local economy could negatively affect the collateral values of such loans. The Bank’s construction loans typically have the following characteristics:

•  maturities of two years or less;

•  a floating rate of interest based on the Bank Prime Rate or the WSJ Prime Rate;

•  minimum cash equity of 35 percent of project cost;

•  reserve of anticipated interest costs during construction or advance of fees;

•  first lien position on the underlying real estate;

•  loan-to-value ratios generally not exceeding 65 percent; and

•  recourse against the borrower or a guarantor in the event of default.

The Bank does, on acase-by-case basis, commit to making permanent loans on the property with loan conditions that command strong project stability and debt service coverage. Construction loans involve additional risks compared to loans secured by existing improved real property. These include the following:

•  the uncertain value of the project prior to completion;

•  the inherent uncertainty in estimating construction costs, which are often beyond the borrower’s control;

•  construction delays and cost overruns;

•  possible difficulties encountered in connection with municipal or other governmental regulations during construction; and

•  the difficulty in accurately evaluating the market value of the completed project.

Because of these uncertainties, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest. If the Bank is forced to foreclose on a project prior to or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover all of the unpaid balance of, or accrued interest on, the loans as well as the related foreclosure and holding costs. In addition, the Bank may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an indeterminable period. The Bank has underwriting procedures designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable levels of risk in construction lending. Among other things, qualified and bonded third parties are engaged to provide progress reports and recommendations for construction disbursements. No assurance can

3

be given that these procedures will prevent losses arising from the risks described above.

Residential Property

The Bank originates fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family properties with amortization schedules of 15 to 30 years and maturities of up to 30 years. The loan fees charged, interest rates and other provisions of the Bank’s residential loans are determined by an analysis of the Bank’s cost of funds, cost of origination, cost of servicing, risk factors and portfolio needs. The Bank may sell some of the mortgage loans that it originates to secondary market participants. The typical turn-around time from origination to sale is between 30 and 90 days. The interest rate and the price of the loan are typically agreed to prior to the loan origination.

Commercial and Industrial Loans

The Bank offers commercial loans for intermediate and short-term credit. Commercial loans may be unsecured, partially secured or fully secured. The majority of the origination of commercial loans is in Los Angeles County and Orange County, and loan maturities are normally 12 to 60 months. The Bank requires a credit underwriting before considering any extension of credit. The Bank finances primarily small and middle market businesses in a wide spectrum of industries. Commercial and industrial loans consist of credit lines for operating needs, loans for equipment purchases and working capital, and various other business purposes. As compared to consumer lending, commercial lending entails significant additional risks. These loans typically involve larger loan balances, are generally dependent on the cash flow of the business and may be subject to adverse conditions in the general economy or in a specific industry. Short-term business loans generally are intended to finance current operations and typically provide for periodic principal payments, with interest payable monthly. Term loans normally provide for floating interest rates, with monthly payments of both principal and interest.

In general, it is the intent of the Bank to take collateral whenever possible, regardless of the loan purpose(s). Collateral may include liens on inventory, accounts receivable, fixtures and equipment, leasehold improvements and real estate. When real estate is the primary collateral, the Bank obtains formal appraisals in accordance with applicable regulations to support the value of the real estate collateral. Typically, the Bank requires all principals of a business to be co-obligors on all loan instruments and all significant stockholders of corporations to execute a specific debt guaranty. All borrowers must demonstrate the ability to service and repay not only their obligations to the Bank debt, but also all outstanding business debt, without liquidating the collateral, based on historical earnings or reliable projections.

Commercial Term Loans

The Bank finances small and middle-market businesses in a wide spectrum of industries throughout California. The Bank offers term loans for a variety of needs, including loans for working capital, purchases of equipment, machinery or inventory, business acquisitions, renovation of facilities, and refinancing of existing business-related debts. These loans have repayment terms of up to seven years.

Commercial Lines of Credit

The Bank offers lines of credit for a variety of short-term needs, including lines of credit for working capital, account receivable and inventory financing, and other purposes related to business operations. Commercial lines of credit usually have a term of 12 months or less.

SBA Loans

The Bank originates loans qualifying for guarantees issued by the United States SBA, an independent agency of the Federal government. The SBA guarantees on such loans currently range from 75 percent to 85 percent of the principal and accrued interest. Under certain circumstances, the guarantee of principal and interest may be less than 75 percent. In general, the guaranteed percentage is less than 75 percent for loans over $1.3 million. The Bank typically requires that SBA loans be secured by business assets and by a first or second deed of trust on any available real property. When the loan is secured by a first deed of trust on real property, the Bank obtains appraisals in accordance with applicable regulations. SBA loans have terms ranging from five to twenty years depending on the use of the proceeds. To qualify for a SBA loan, a borrower must demonstrate the capacity to service and repay the loan, without liquidating the collateral, based on historical earnings or reliable projections.

The Bank generally sells to unrelated third parties a substantial amount of the guaranteed portion of the SBA guaranteed loans that it originates. During the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Bank also sold the unguaranteed portion of some SBA loans. When the Bank sells a SBA loan, it has a right to repurchase the loan if the loan defaults. If the Bank repurchases a loan, the Bank will make a demand for guarantee purchase to the SBA. The Bank retains the right to service the SBA loans, for which it receives servicing fees. The unsold portions of the SBA loans that remain owned by the Bank are included in loans receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2007, the

4

Bank had $118.5 million of SBA loans in its portfolio, and was servicing $258.5 million of SBA loans sold to investors.

International Trade Finance

The Bank offers a variety of international finance and trade services and products, including letters of credit, import financing (trust receipt financing and bankers’ acceptances) and export financing. Although most of our trade finance activities are related to trade with Asian countries, all of our loans are made to companies domiciled in the United States. A substantial portion of this business involves California-based customers engaged in import activities.

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans are extended for a variety of purposes, including automobile loans, secured and unsecured personal loans, home improvement loans, home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”), overdraft protection loans, unsecured lines of credit and credit cards. Management assesses the borrower’s creditworthiness and ability to repay the debt through a review of credit history and ratings, verification of employment and other income, review of debt-to-income ratios and other measures of repayment ability. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary importance, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount. Most of the Bank’s loans to individuals are repayable on an installment basis.

Any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance, because the collateral is more likely to suffer damage, loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition, the collection of loans to individuals is dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus is more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, various Federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, often limit the amount that the lender can recover on loans to individuals. Loans to individuals may also give rise to claims and defenses by a consumer borrower against the lender on these loans, and a borrower may be able to assert against any assignee of the note these claims and defenses that the borrower has against the seller of the underlying collateral.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

As part of its service to its small- to medium-sized business customers, the Bank from time to time issues formal commitments and lines of credit. These commitments can be either secured or unsecured. They may be in the form of revolving lines of credit for seasonal working capital needs or may take the form of commercial letters of credit or standby letters of credit. Commercial letters of credit facilitate import trade. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

Lending Procedures and Loan Limits

Loan applications may be approved by the Board of Directors’ Loan Committee, or by the Bank’s management or lending officers to the extent of their lending authority. Individual lending authority is granted to the Chief Credit Officer, the Deputy Chief Credit Officer, Senior Credit Officers and certain additional officers, including Branch Managers and the line managers to whom they report. Loans for which direct and indirect borrower liability exceeds an individual’s lending authority are referred to the Bank’s Management Credit Committee and, for those in excess of the Management Credit Committee’s approval limits, to the Board of Directors’ Loan Committee.

Legal lending limits are calculated in conformance with the California Financial Code, which prohibits a bank from lending to any one individual or entity or its related interests on an unsecured basis any amount that exceeds 15 percent of the sum of shareholders’ equity plus the allowance for loan losses, capital notes and any debentures, plus an additional 10 percent on a secured basis. At December 31, 2007, the Bank’s authorized legal lending limits for loans to one borrower were $56.6 million for unsecured loans plus an additional $37.8 million for specific secured loans. However, the Bank has established internal loan limits that are lower than the legal lending limits.

The Bank seeks to mitigate the risks inherent in its loan portfolio by adhering to certain underwriting practices. The review of each loan application includes analysis of the applicant’s experience, prior credit history, income level, cash flow, financial condition, tax returns, cash flow projections, and the value of any collateral to secure the loan, based upon reports of independent appraisersand/or audits of accounts receivable or inventory pledged as security. In the case of real estate loans over a specified amount, the review of collateral value includes an appraisal report prepared by an independent Bank-approved appraiser. All appraisal reports on commercial real property secured loans are reviewed by an Appraisal Review Officer. The review generally covers an examination of the appraiser’s assumptions and methods that were used to derive a value for the property, as well as compliance with the USPAP.

Allowance for Loan Losses, Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items and Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate to cover the inherent risks of loss associated with its loan portfolio under prevailing economic conditions. In addition, the Bank maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet items associated with unfunded commitments and letters of credit, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Bank follows the“Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses”and analyzes the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. In addition, as an integral part of the quarterly credit review process of the Bank, the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are reviewed for adequacy. The DFIand/or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based upon their assessment of the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Deposits

The Bank raises funds primarily through its network of branches. The Bank attracts deposits by offering a wide variety of transaction and term accounts and personalized customer service. Accounts offered include business and personal checking accounts, savings accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

Website

We maintain an Internet website atwww.hanmi.com. We make available free of charge on the website our Annual Reports onForm 10-K, Quarterly Reports onForm 10-Q, Current Reports onForm 8-K and any amendments thereto, as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “the Commission”). None of the information on or hyperlinked from our website is incorporated into this Annual Report onForm 10-K.

Employees

As of December 31, 2007, the Bank had 612 full-time employees and 15 part-time employees and Chun-Ha and All World had 31 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee. Our employees are not represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our employee relations are satisfactory.

Insurance

We maintain financial institution bond and commercial insurance at levels deemed adequate by management to protect Hanmi Financial from certain litigation and other losses.

Competition

The banking and financial services industry in California generally, and in the Bank’s market areas specifically, are highly competitive. The increasingly competitive environment faced by banks is a result primarily of changes in laws and regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, new competitors in the market, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. We compete for loans, deposits and customers with other commercial banks, savings institutions, securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies, real estate investment trusts, insurance companies, finance companies, money market funds, credit unions and other non-bank financial service providers. Some of these competitors are larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets, including foreign-ownership,and/or offer a broader range of financial services.

Among the advantages that the major banks have over the Bank is their ability to finance extensive advertising campaigns and to allocate their investment assets to regions of highest yield and demand. Many of the major commercial banks operating in the Bank’s service areas offer specific services (for instance, trust services) that are not offered directly by the Bank. By virtue of their greater total capitalization, these banks also have substantially higher lending limits than the Bank does.

The recent trend has been for other institutions, including brokerage firms, credit card companies and retail establishments, to offer banking services to consumers, including money market funds with check access and cash advances on credit card accounts. In addition, other entities (both public and private) seeking to raise capital through the issuance and sale of debt or equity securities compete with banks in the acquisition of deposits.

The Bank’s major competitors are relatively smaller community banks that focus their marketing efforts onKorean-American businesses in the Bank’s service areas. Amongst these banks, the Bank is the largest, with a loan portfolio that is 41.8 percent larger than its nearest competitor’s loan portfolio, and a deposit portfolio that is 60.6 percent larger than its nearest competitor’s deposit portfolio. These banks compete for loans primarily through the interest rates and fees they charge and the convenience and quality of service they provide to borrowers. The principal bases of competition for deposits are the interest rate paid, convenience and service.

6

In order to compete with other financial institutions in its service area, the Bank relies principally upon local promotional activity, including advertising in the local media, personal contacts, direct mail and specialized services. The Bank’s promotional activities emphasize the advantages of dealing with a locally owned and headquartered institution attuned to the particular needs of the community.

Economic Conditions, Government Policies, Legislation and Regulation

Our profitability, like that of most financial institutions, is primarily dependent on interest rate differentials. In general, the difference between the interest rates paid by us on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings, and the interest rates received by us on our interest-earning assets, such as loans extended to our customers and securities held in our investment portfolio, will comprise the major portion of our earnings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, such as inflation, recession and unemployment, and the impact that future changes in domestic and foreign economic conditions might have on us cannot be predicted.

Our business is also influenced by the monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government and the policies of regulatory agencies, particularly the FRB. The FRB implements national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing inflation and combating recession) through its open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for depository institutions subject to its reserve requirements, and by varying the target Federal funds and discount rates applicable to borrowings by depository institutions. The actions of the FRB in these areas influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and affect interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The nature and impact on us of any future changes in monetary and fiscal policies cannot be predicted.

From time to time, Federal and state legislation is enacted which may have the effect of materially increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities, or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial services providers, such as recent Federal legislation permitting affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies and securities firms. We cannot predict whether or when any potential legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it, or any implementing regulations, would have on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, the outcome of any investigations initiated by state authorities or litigation raising issues may result in necessary changes in our operations, additional regulation and increased compliance costs.

Supervision and Regulation

General

We are extensively regulated under both Federal and certain state laws. Regulation and supervision by the Federal and state banking agencies is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and not for the benefit of stockholders. Set forth below is a summary description of the key laws and regulations that relate to our operations. These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

Hanmi Financial

As a bank and financial holding company, we are subject to regulation and examination by the FRB under the BHCA. Accordingly, we are subject to the FRB’s authority to:

•  require periodic reports and such additional information as the FRB may require.

•  require us to maintain certain levels of capital. See“Capital Standards.”

•  require that bank holding companies serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to subsidiary banks and commit resources as necessary to support each subsidiary bank. A bank holding company’s failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the FRB to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of FRB regulations or both.

•  terminate an activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest certain subsidiaries, affiliates or investments if the FRB believes the activity or the control of the subsidiary or affiliate constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary.

•  regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt, including the authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt and require prior approval to purchase or redeem our securities in certain situations.

•  approve acquisitions and mergers with other banks or savings institutions and consider certain competitive, management, financial and other factors in granting these approvals. Similar California and other state banking agency approvals may also be required.

Non-Banking and Financial Activities

Subject to certain prior notice or FRB approval requirements, bank holding companies may engage in any, or acquire shares of companies engaged in, those non-banking activities determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Hanmi Financial may engage in these non-banking activities and broader securities, insurance, merchant banking and other activities that are determined to be “financial in nature” or are incidental or complementary to activities that are financial in nature without prior FRB approval pursuant to its election to become a financial holding company. Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLBA”), in order to elect and retain financial holding company status, all depository institution subsidiaries of a bank holding company must be well capitalized, well managed, and, except in limited circumstances, be in satisfactory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”). Failure to sustain compliance with these requirements or correct any non-compliance within a fixed time period could lead to divestiture of subsidiary banks or require all activities to conform to those permissible for a bank holding company. Chun-Ha and All World qualify as financial subsidiaries under the GLBA.

Hanmi Financial is also a bank holding company within the meaning of the California Financial Code. As such, Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by, and may be required to file reports with, the DFI.

Securities Registration

Our securities are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As such, we are subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading, corporate governance, and other requirements and restrictions of the Exchange Act.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act

We are subject to the accounting oversight and corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including:

•  required executive certification of financial presentations;

•  increased requirements for board audit committees and their members;

•  enhanced disclosure of controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;

•  enhanced controls on, and reporting of, insider trading; and

•  increased penalties for financial crimes and forfeiture of executive bonuses in certain circumstances.

The Bank

As a California chartered bank, the Bank is subject to primary supervision, periodic examination, and regulation by the DFI and by the FRB as the Bank’s primary federal regulator. As a member bank, the Bank is a stockholder of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Reserve Bank”). If, as a result of an examination, the DFI or the FRB should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity, or other aspects of the Bank’s operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or its management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, the DFI and the FRB, and separately the FDIC as insurer of the Bank’s deposits, have residual authority to:

•  require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice;

•  direct an increase in capital;

•  restrict the Bank’s growth geographically, by products and services or by mergers and acquisitions;

•  enter into informal nonpublic or formal public memoranda of understanding or written agreements; enjoin unsafe and unsound practices and issue cease and desist orders to take corrective action;

•  remove officers and directors and assess civil monetary penalties; and

•  take possession and close and liquidate the Bank.

Permissible Activities and Subsidiaries

California law permits state chartered commercial banks to engage in any activity permissible for national banks. Therefore, the Bank may form subsidiaries to engage in the many so-called “closely related to banking” or “non-banking” activities commonly conducted by national banks in operating subsidiaries, and, further, pursuant to the GLBA, the Bank may conduct certain “financial” activities in a subsidiary to the same extent as may a national bank, provided the Bank is and remains “well-capitalized,” “well-managed” and in satisfactory compliance with the CRA. Presently, none of the Bank’s subsidiaries are financial subsidiaries.

In September, 2007, the SEC and the FRB finalized joint rules required by the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 to implement exceptions provided in the GLBA for securities activities that banks may conduct without registering with the SEC as a securities broker or moving such activities to a broker-dealer

8

affiliate. The FRB’s final Regulation R provides exceptions for networking arrangements with third party broker-dealers and authorizes compensation for bank employees who refer and assist retail and high net worth bank customers with their securities, including sweep accounts to money market funds, and with related trust, fiduciary, custodial and safekeeping needs. The final rules, which will not be effective until 2009, are not expected to have a material effect on the current securities activities that the Bank currently conducts for customers.

Interstate Banking and Branching

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act of 1994, bank holding companies and banks generally have the ability to acquire or merge with banks in other states; and, subject to certain state restrictions, banks may also acquire or establish new branches outside their home states. Interstate branches are subject to certain laws of the states in which they are located. The Bank presently has no interstate branches.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

The Bank is a member and stockholder of the capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Among other benefits, each Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region and makes available loans or advances to its members. Each FHLB is financed primarily from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system.

Federal Reserve System

The FRB requires all depository institutions to maintain noninterest-bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking and non-personal time deposits). At December 31, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with these requirements.

Dividends and Other Transfers of Funds

Dividends from the Bank constitute the principal source of income to Hanmi Financial. The Bank is subject to various statutory and regulatory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends without the prior approval of the DFI or the FRB. In addition, the banking agencies have the authority to prohibit the Bank from paying dividends, depending upon the Bank’s financial condition, if such payment is deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Furthermore, under the Federal Prompt Corrective Action regulations, the FRB may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any dividends if the holding company’s bank subsidiary is classified as “undercapitalized.” See“Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Dividends”for a further discussion of restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to Hanmi Financial.

Capital Standards

At December 31, 2007, Hanmi Financial and the Bank’s capital ratios exceed the minimum percentage requirements for “well capitalized” institutions. See“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 14 — Regulatory Matters.”

The Federal banking agencies have adopted risk-based minimum capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks that are intended to provide a measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets and transactions that are recorded as off-balance sheet items. The risk-based capital ratio is determined by classifying assets and certain off-balance sheet financial instruments into weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for those categories perceived as representing greater risk. Under the capital guidelines, a banking organization’s total capital is divided into tiers. “Tier 1 capital” includes common equity and trust-preferred securities, subject to certain criteria and quantitative limits. The risk-based capital guidelines 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.

An institution’s risk-based capital, leverage capital and tangible capital ratios together determine the institution’s capital classification. An institution is treated as well capitalized if its total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 10.0 percent or more; its Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is 6.0 percent or more; and its Tier 1 capital to adjusted total average assets ratio is 5.0 percent or more.

As of December 31, 2007, the regulatory capital guidelines and the actual capital ratios for Hanmi Financial and the Bank were as follows:

							Actual as of
	Requirement						December 31, 2007
	Adequately			Well			Hanmi			Hanmi
	Capitalized			Capitalized			Bank			Financial
Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio		8.0	%		10.0	%		10.59	%		10.65	%
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio		4.0	%		6.0	%		9.34	%		9.40	%
Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio		4.0	%		5.0	%		8.47	%		8.52	%

The current risk-based capital guidelines are based upon the 1988 capital accord of the International Basel Committee on Banking

9

Supervision. A new international accord, referred to as Basel II, which emphasizes internal assessment of credit, market and operational risk, supervisory assessment and market discipline in determining minimum capital requirements, currently becomes mandatory for large international banks outside the U.S. in 2008, is optional for others, and must be complied with in a “parallel run” for two years along with the existing Basel I standards. A separate rule is expected to be released and issued in final by the Federal regulatory agencies in 2008, which will offer U.S. banks that will not adopt Basel II an alternative “standardized approach under Basel II” option and address concerns that the Basel II framework may offer significant competitive advantages for the largest U.S. and international banks. The U.S. banking agencies have indicated, however, that they will retain the minimum leverage requirement for all U.S. banks. Further proposals and revisions to the Basel II framework may also occur in response to recent adverse liquidity and securitization market developments.

The FDI Act gives the Federal banking agencies the additional broad authority to take “prompt corrective action” to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions that fall within any undercapitalized category, including requiring the submission of an acceptable capital restoration plan. The Federal banking agencies have also adopted non-capital safety and soundness standards to assist examiners in identifying and addressing potential safety and soundness concerns before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines set forth operational and managerial standards relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, (ii) loan documentation, (iii) credit underwriting, (iv) asset quality and growth, (v) earnings, (vi) risk management, and (vii) compensation and benefits.

FDIC Insurance

Through the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”), the FDIC insures the Bank’s customer deposits up to prescribed limits for each depositor. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by each DIF member institution is based on its relative risk of default as measured by regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory factors. The FDIC may increase or decrease the assessment rate schedule on a semi-annual basis. The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2006 (“FDIRA”) and implementing regulations provide for changes in the formula and factors to be considered by the FDIC in calculating the FDIC reserve ratio, assessments and dividends, including business line concentrations and risk of failure and severity of loss in the event of failure. It is unclear whether the FDIC may need to increase assessments in the near term or longer term to address the risks and costs of any increase in bank failures.

The FDIC may terminate a depository institution’s deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution’s financial condition is unsafe or unsound or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices that pose a risk to the DIF or that may prejudice the interest of a bank’s depositors. The termination of deposit insurance for the Bank would also result in the revocation of the Bank’s charter by the DFI.

Extensions of Credit to Insiders and Transactions with Affiliates

The Federal Reserve Act and FRB Regulation O place limitations and conditions on loans or extensions of credit to:

•  a bank or bank holding company’s executive officers, directors and principal shareholders (i.e., in most cases, those persons who own, control or have power to vote more than 10 percent of any class of voting securities);

•  any company controlled by any such executive officer, director or shareholder; or

•  any political or campaign committee controlled by such executive officer, director or principal shareholder.

Such loans and leases:

•  must comply with loan-to-one-borrower limits;

•  require prior full board approval when aggregate extensions of credit to the person exceed specified amounts;

•  must be made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) and follow credit-underwriting procedures no less stringent than those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-insiders;

•  must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and

•  in the aggregate limit not exceed the bank’s unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.

California has laws and the DFI has regulations that adopt and apply Regulation O to the Bank.

The Bank also is subject to certain restrictions imposed by Federal Reserve Act Sections 23A and 23B and FRB Regulation W on any extensions of credit to, or the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of, any affiliates, the purchase of, or investments in, stock or other securities thereof, the taking of such securities as collateral for loans, and the purchase of assets of any affiliates. Affiliates include parent holding companies, sister banks, sponsored and advised companies, financial subsidiaries and investment

10

companies where the Bank’s affiliate serves as investment advisor. Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W generally:

•  prevent any affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by marketable obligations of designated amounts;

•  limit such loans and investments to or in any affiliate individually to 10 percent of the Bank’s capital and surplus;

•  limit such loans and investments to all affiliate in the aggregate to 20 percent of the Bank’s capital and surplus; and

•  require such loans and investments to or in any affiliate to be on terms and under conditions substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank as those prevailing for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated parties.

Additional restrictions on transactions with affiliates may be imposed on the Bank under the FDI Act prompt corrective action provisions and the supervisory authority of the Federal and state banking agencies.

USA PATRIOT Act and Anti-Money Laundering Compliance

The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations significantly expanded the anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, including the Bank Secrecy Act. The Bank has adopted comprehensive policies and procedures to address the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Material deficiencies in anti-money laundering compliance can result in public enforcement actions by the banking agencies, including the imposition of civil money penalties and supervisory restrictions on growth and expansion. Such enforcement actions could also have serious reputation consequences for Hanmi Financial and the Bank.

Consumer Laws

The Bank and Hanmi Financial are subject to many Federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations prohibiting unfair or fraudulent business practices, untrue or misleading advertising and unfair competition, including:

•  The Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 (“HOEPA), which requires extra disclosures and consumer protections to borrowers from certain lending practices, such as practices deemed to be “predatory lending.”

•  Privacy policies required by Federal and state banking laws and regulations, which limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to non-affiliated third parties.

•  The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“the FACT Act”), which requires financial firms to help deter identity theft, including developing appropriate fraud response programs, and gives consumers more control of their credit data.

•  The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”), which generally prohibits discrimination in any credit transaction, whether for consumer or business purposes, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (except in limited circumstances), receipt of income from public assistance programs, or good faith exercise of any rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

•  The Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), which requires that credit terms be disclosed in a meaningful and consistent way so that consumers may compare credit terms more readily and knowledgeably.

•  The Fair Housing Act, which regulates many lending practices, including making it unlawful for any lender to discriminate in its housing-related lending activities against any person because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or familial status.

•  The CRA, which requires insured depository institutions, while operating safely and soundly, to help meet the credit needs of their communities; directs the Federal regulatory agencies, in examining insured depository institutions, to assess a bank’s record of helping meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking practices and further requires the agencies to take a financial institution’s record of meeting its community credit needs into account when evaluating applications for, among other things, domestic branches, mergers or acquisitions, or holding company formations. In its last examination for CRA compliance, as of October 10, 2006, the Bank was rated “Outstanding.”

•  The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (“HMDA”), which includes a “fair lending” aspect that requires the collection and disclosure of data about applicant and borrower characteristics as a way of identifying possible discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes.

•  The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”), which requires lenders to provide borrowers with disclosures regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements and prohibits certain abusive practices, such as kickbacks.

•  The National Flood Insurance Act, which requires homes in flood-prone areas with mortgages from a federally regulated lender to have flood insurance.

11

Regulation of Subsidiaries

Non-bank subsidiaries are subject to additional or separate regulation and supervision by other state, Federal and self-regulatory bodies. Chun-Ha and All World are subject to the licensing and supervisory authority of the California Commissioner of Insurance.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

Together with the other information on the risks we face and our management of risk contained in this Annual Report or in our other SEC filings, the following presents significant risks that may affect us. Events or circumstances arising from one or more of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and the value and price of our common stock could decline. The risks identified below are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all risks we face and additional risks that we may currently view as not material may also impair our business operations and results.

Changes in economic conditions could materially hurt our business.  Our business is directly affected by changes in economic conditions, including finance, legislative and regulatory changes and changes in government monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all of which are beyond our control. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in the following consequences:

•  problem assets and foreclosures may increase;

•  demand for our products and services may decline;

•  low cost or non-interest bearing deposits may decrease; and

•  collateral for loans made by us, especially real estate, may decline in value.

Recent negative developments in the financial industry and U.S. and global credit markets may affect our operations and results.  Negative developments in the latter half of 2007 in the subprime mortgage market and the securitization markets for such loans have resulted in uncertainty in the financial markets generally and the expectation of a general economic downturn beginning in 2008. Commercial as well as consumer loan portfolio performances have deteriorated at many institutions and the competition for deposits and quality loans has increased significantly. In addition, the values of real estate collateral supporting many commercial loans and home mortgages have declined and may continue. Bank and bank holding company stock prices have been negatively affected as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets compared to recent years. As a result, there is a potential for new Federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards, and bank regulatory agencies are expected to be very aggressive in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, including the expected issuance of many formal enforcement orders. Negative developments in the financial industry and the impact of new legislation in response to those developments could negatively affect our operations by restricting our business operations, including our ability to originate or sell loans, and adversely affect our financial performance.

Our Southern California business focus and economic conditions in Southern California could adversely affect our operations.  The Bank’s operations are located primarily in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Because of this geographic concentration, our results depend largely upon economic conditions in these areas. Deterioration in economic conditions in the Bank’s market area, or a significant natural or man-made disaster in these market areas, could have a material adverse effect on the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, the demand for its products and services and on its overall financial condition and results of operations.

Our concentrations in commercial real estate loans located primarily in Southern California could have adverse effects on credit quality.  Approximately 30.7 percent of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of commercial real estate and construction loans, primarily in Southern California. Because of this concentration, a deterioration of the Southern California commercial real estate market could have adverse consequences for the Bank. Among the factors that could contribute to such a decline are general economic conditions in Southern California, interest rates and local market construction and sales activity.

Our earnings are affected by changing interest rates.  Changes in interest rates affect the level of loans, deposits and investments, the credit profile of existing loans, the rates received on loans and securities and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings. Significant fluctuations in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If we cannot attract deposits, our growth may be inhibited.  Our ability to increase our asset base depends in large part on our ability to attract additional deposits at favorable rates. We seek additional deposits by offering deposit products that are competitive with those offered by other financial institutions in our markets. We cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful.

We must manage our funding resources to enable us to meet our ongoing operations costs and our deposit and borrowing obligations as they come due.  Liquidity is essential to our business and any inability to raise funds could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Sources of funds to meet our operating needs and obligations include deposits; interest and

12

fee income on loans and other products and services; earnings on our investment securities portfolio; revenue from the sale or securitization of loans; new capital infusions and borrowings, such as from the Federal Home Loan Banks. Adverse regulatory developments or a decline in our financial condition or a decline in financial market conditions generally, such as the recent turmoil faced by depository financial institutions in the domestic and worldwide credit markets, could have a significant impact on our ability to meet our liquidity needs, including our ability to attract deposits in an increasingly competitive environment.

We may not be able to pay dividends in the future.  A substantial source of Hanmi Financial’s income from which we pay Hanmi Financial obligations and distribute dividends to our stockholders is from the receipt of dividends from the Bank. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. As a result of our net loss for 2007 after the goodwill impairment charge and the increased provision for credit losses, the Bank must obtain the prior approval of the DFI and the FRB in order to pay dividends to Hanmi Financial. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to service our debt, pay our obligations or pay dividends on our outstanding common stock. See“Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities”for a further discussion of restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to Hanmi Financial.

Our operations may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available or may not be on terms acceptable to us when it is needed.  We are required by Federal regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. We believe that our existing capital resources will satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future and will be sufficient to offset any problem assets. However, should our asset quality erode and require significant additional provision, resulting in consistent net operating losses at the Bank, our capital levels will decline and we will need to raise capital. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot be certain of our ability to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations through internal growth and acquisitions could be materially impaired.

The short-term and long-term impact of the new Basel II capital standards and the forthcoming new capital rules to be proposed for non-Basel II U.S. banks is uncertain.  As a result of the recent deterioration in the global credit markets and the potential impact of increased liquidity risk and interest rate risk, it is unclear what the short-term impact of the implementation Basel II may be or what impact a pending alternative standardized approach to Basel II option for non-Basel II U.S. banks may have on the cost and availability of different types of credit and the potential compliance costs of implementing the new capital standards.

We are subject to government regulations that could limit or restrict our activities, which in turn could adversely affect our operations.  The financial services industry is subject to extensive Federal and state supervision and regulation. Significant new laws, changes in existing laws, or repeals of existing laws may cause our results to differ materially. Further, Federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit conditions and a material change in these conditions could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Competition may adversely affect our performance.  The banking and financial services businesses in our market areas are highly competitive. We face competition in attracting deposits, in making loans and attracting and retaining employees. The increasingly competitive environment is a result of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, new competitors in the market, and the pace of consolidation among financial services providers. Our results in the future may differ depending upon the nature and level of competition.

If a significant number of borrowers, guarantors or related parties fail to perform as required by the terms of their loans, we could sustain losses.  A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors or related parties may fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for loan losses, that management believes are appropriate to limit this risk by assessing the likelihood of non-performance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our credit portfolio. These policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. As described herein, the Bank substantially increased its provision for credit losses in 2007, as compared to 2006 and 2005, as a result of increases in historical loss factors, increased charge-offs and migration of more loans into more adverse risk categories.

Failure to manage our growth may adversely affect our performance.  Our financial performance and profitability depend on our ability to manage our recent and possible future

13

growth. Future acquisitions and our continued growth may present operating, integration and other issues that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We continually encounter technological change, and we may have fewer resources than many of our competitors to continue to invest in technological improvements.  The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes, with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our clients by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy client demands for convenience, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.

We rely on communications, information, operating and financial control systems technology from third-party service providers, and we may suffer an interruption in those systems.  We rely heavily on third-party service providers for much of our communications, information, operating and financial control systems technology, including our internet banking services and data processing systems. Any failure or interruption of these services or systems or breaches in security of these systems could result in failures or interruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, servicingand/or loan origination systems. The occurrence of any failures or interruptions may require us to identify alternative sources of such services, and we cannot assure you that we could negotiate terms that are as favorable to us, or could obtain services with similar functionality as found in our existing systems without the need to expend substantial resources, if at all.

Negative publicity could damage our reputation.  Reputation risk, or the risk to our earnings and capital from negative publicity or public opinion, is inherent in our business. Negative publicity or public opinion could adversely affect our ability to keep and attract customers and expose us to adverse legal and regulatory consequences. Negative public opinion could result from our actual or perceived conduct in any number of activities, including lending practices, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, and disclosure, sharing or inadequate protection of customer information, and from actions taken by government regulators and community organizations in response to that conduct.

Our stock price can be volatile due to many factors.  Our stock price can fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors, in addition to those described above, including:

•  recommendations by securities analysts;

•  operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

•  news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry;

•  new technology used, or services offered, by our competitors;

•  natural disasters, such as earthquakes; and

•  geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

Holders

Hanmi Financial had 347 registered stockholders of record as of February 7, 2008.

Dividends

The ability of Hanmi Financial to pay dividends to our shareholders is directly dependent on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us. 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 shareholders 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. As a result 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. However, 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 Bank had retained earnings of $52.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

Similarly, the net loss for 2007 requires prior FRB approval of bank dividends in 2008 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. The Bank will seek prior approval from the DFI and the FRB 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 of Directors will continue to authorize cash dividends to our shareholders.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Tangible Book Value Per Share

Tangible book value per share 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. Tangible book value per share is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total stockholders’ equity and dividing the difference by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. 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 substitution for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

This discussion presents management’s analysis of the financial condition and results of operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes related thereto presented elsewhere in this Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements because of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this Report. See“Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Critical Accounting Policies

We have established various accounting policies that govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”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. 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

22

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.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We believe the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are critical accounting policies that require significant estimates and assumptions that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the preparation of our financial statements. Our allowance for loan loss methodologies incorporate a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for loan loss that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include our historical loss experiences on ten segmented loan pools by risk rating, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in non-performing loans, and other factors. Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in our markets, delinquency and charge-off trends, and the change in non-performing loans. Concentration of credit, change of lending management and staff, quality of loan review system, and change in interest rate are other qualitative factors that are considered in our methodologies. See“Financial Condition — Allowance for Loan Losses and Allowance for Off-Balance Sheet Items,” “Results of Operations — Provision for Credit Losses”and“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”for additional information on methodologies used to determine the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items.

We routinely sell SBA and residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. When SBA guaranteed loans are sold, we generally retain the right to service these loans. We may record loan servicing assets when the benefits of servicing are expected to be more than adequate compensation to a servicer. We determine whether the benefits of servicing are expected to be more than adequate compensation to a servicer by discounting all of the future net cash flows associated with the contractual rights and obligations of the servicing agreement. The expected future net cash flows are discounted at a rate equal to the return that would adequately compensate a substitute servicer for performing the servicing. In addition to the anticipated rate of loan prepayments and discount rates, other assumptions (such as the cost to service the underlying loans, foreclosure costs, ancillary income and float rates) are also used in determining the value of the loan servicing assets. Loan servicing assets are discussed in more detail in“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”and“Note 4 — Servicing Assets” presented elsewhere herein.

Goodwill

We have goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, because of various business acquisitions. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, goodwill was $107.1 million and $207.6 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from the acquisition of Pacific Union Bank (“PUB”) in 2004. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”goodwill must be recorded at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are defined as an operating segment. We have identified one reporting unit — our banking operations. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill, but requires that it be tested for impairment at least annually (at any time during the year, but at the same time each year), or more frequently if events or circumstances change, such as adverse changes in the business climate, that would more likely than not reduce the reporting unit’s fair value below its carrying amount.

During our annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2007, we recognized an impairment loss on goodwill of $102.9 million based on the decline in the market value of our common stock, which we believe reflects, in part, recent turmoil in the financial markets that has adversely affected the market value of the common stock of many banks. Goodwill is discussed in more detail in“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”and“Note 6 — Goodwill”presented elsewhere herein.

Overview

In 2007, total assets increased 6.9 percent, reflecting the weakening economy, compared to increases of 9.1 percent and 10.0 percent in 2006 and 2005. Total assets increased to $3,983.7 million at December 31, 2007 from $3,725.2 million and $3,414.3 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net loans increased to $3,241.1 million at December 31, 2007 from $2,837.4 million and $2,469.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Total deposits increased to $3,001.7 million at December 31, 2007 from $2,944.7 million and $2,826.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Effective January 2, 2007, we completed the acquisitions of Chun-Ha and All World, which had combined total assets of $3.9 million on the date of acquisition. The acquisitions were accounted for as

23

purchases, so the operating results and assets and liabilities of Chun-Ha and All World are included from the acquisition date.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recognized a net loss of $60.5 million, as compared with net income of $65.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Such loss in 2007 was mainly caused by a goodwill impairment charge of $102.9 million occasioned by the decline in the market value of our common stock that reflects, in part, recent turmoil in the financial markets. If we measure our operating results from our continuing operations without this impairment charge on a non-GAAP basis (as shown in the table below), we realized net income of $42.4 million, as compared with $65.6 million in 2006. 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 our results from our core banking operations.

The largest factor affecting our 2007 operating results was a $38.3 million provision for credit losses, which increased from $7.2 million and $5.4 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. In the last quarter of 2007, the economic conditions in the markets in which our borrowers operate continued to deteriorate and the levels of loan delinquency and defaults experienced by the Bank were substantially higher than historical levels. In response, the Bank has tightened its credit standards and significantly expanded its loan portfolio monitoring activities beyond the normal level of portfolio monitoring to attempt to identify potential weaknesses in performing loans. For loans with identified weaknesses, we have created individual action plans to mitigate, to the extent possible, such weaknesses. This effort resulted, in part, in additional downgrades in the classification of loans, primarily to “special mention.” For non-performing loans, we have enhanced our collection efforts, increased workout and collection personnel and created individual action plans to maximize, to the extent possible, collections on such loans. We will continue our monitoring of the loan portfolio until the Bank’s credit risk profile returns to a normalized level.

Our primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and fees derived from earning assets and interest paid on liabilities incurred to fund those assets. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It also is affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Despite the growth in loans, net interest income in 2007 was essentially flat at $152.2 million compared to $153.8 million in 2006 due to compression in the net interest margin that was caused by the FRB lowering short-term interest rates and intense competition for loans and deposits in our niche markets. The Bank’s net interest margin was 4.36 percent in 2007, compared to 4.78 percent a year ago.

We generated substantial non-interest income from service charges on deposit accounts, charges and fees from international trade finance, and gains on sales of loans. For the year ended December 31, 2007, non-interest income was $40.0 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 8.2 percent, over the 2006 non-interest income of $37.0 million. Such increase was mainly caused by an increase in insurance commissions from the operation of two insurance companies acquired in January 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2005, non-interest income was $31.5 million.

Non-interest expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and data processing expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2007, non-interest expenses, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, were $87.0 million (as shown in the table below), an increase of $9.7 million, or 12.6 percent, over the 2006 non-interest expenses of $77.3 million. In 2007, the increase was primarily the result of $1.7 million of separation expenses for the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer and additional operating expenses from two insurance companies acquired in January 2007. Our efficiency ratio, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, was 45.28 percent in 2007 (as shown in the table below), compared to 40.54 percent and 40.86 percent, in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures 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 our results from our core banking operations.

Results Of Operations

Net Interest Income, Net Interest Spread and Net Interest Margin

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, in turn, 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 years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, net interest income was $152.2 million and $153.8 million, respectively. The net interest spread and net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2007 were 3.17 percent and 4.36 percent, respectively, compared to 3.59 percent and 4.78 percent, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 3.96 percent and 4.83 percent, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Average loans were $3.08 billion in 2007, as compared with $2.75 billion in 2006 and $2.38 billion in 2005, representing increases of 12.1 percent and 15.4 percent in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Average interest-earning assets were $3.49 billion in 2007, as compared with $3.21 billion in 2006 and $2.87 billion in 2005, representing increases of 8.7 percent and 12.0 percent in 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, the majority of interest-earning assets growth was funded by a $108.4 million increase in average total deposits and a $134.5 million increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings. In 2006, the growth was funded primarily by a $249.2 million increase in average total deposits and a $55.9 million increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings. Total average interest-bearing liabilities grew by $275.9 million and $321.2 million, respectively, in 2007 and 2006.

The average yield on interest-earning assets slightly decreased to 8.04 percent in 2007, after a 109 basis point increase in 2006 to 8.09 percent from 7.00 percent in 2005. The strong competition for deposits in our local markets accelerated our average cost on interest-bearing liabilities to 4.87 percent in 2007, compared to 4.50 percent in 2006 and 3.04 percent in 2005, despite the FRB lowering rates by 100 basis points since September 2007. As a result, interest income grew 8.0 percent to $280.9 million for 2007, but was outpaced by a 20.9 percent increase in interest expense to $128.7 million. In 2006, interest income increased by

27

29.5 percent to $260.2 million from $200.9 million in 2005, but was outpaced by a 71.4 percent increase in interest expense to $106.4 million in 2006 from $62.1 million in 2005.

Our net interest income in 2007 was slightly lower at $152.2 million, compared to $153.8 million in 2006, as the modest growth in average interest-earning assets was offset by the FRB’s lowering of rates. In 2006, net interest income increased by 10.8 percent to $153.8 million from $138.8 million in 2005, due primarily to a 12.0 percent increase in average interest-earning assets.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the provision for credit losses was $38.3 million, compared to $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses was 1.33 percent and 0.96 percent of total gross loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in the provision for credit losses is attributable to increases in the loan portfolio, net charge-offs, non-performing loans and criticized and classified loans. The loan portfolio increased $403.7 million, or 14.2 percent, from $2,837.4 million at December 31, 2006 to $3,241.1 million at December 31, 2007. Net charge-offs increased $18.1 million, or 394.3 percent, from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Non-performing loans increased from $14.2 million, or 0.50 percent of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2006 to $54.5 million, or 1.66 percent of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2007. The $403.7 million, or 14.2 percent, increase in the loan portfolio and the $40.3 million, or 283.3 percent, increase in non-performing loans required the provision to increase to $38.3 million in 2007 from $7.2 million in 2006 to maintain the necessary allowance level.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the provision for credit losses was $7.2 million, compared to $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 33.0 percent. The allowance for loan losses was 0.96 percent and 1.00 percent of total gross loans at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, with the increase in the dollar amount allowed for credit losses due to an increase in loan volume. This was primarily due to the overall decrease in historical loss factors on pass grade loans, while non-performing loans increased from $10.1 million, or 0.41 percent of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2005 to $14.2 million, or 0.50 percent of total gross loans, as of December 31, 2006. The $368.3 million, or 14.9 percent, increase in the loan portfolio and the $4.1 million, or 40.3 percent, increase in non-performing loans required the provision to increase to $7.2 million in 2006 from $5.4 million in 2005 to maintain the necessary allowance level.

We earn non-interest income from four major sources: service charges on deposit accounts, insurance commissions, fees generated from international trade finance and gain on sales of loans. For the year ended December 31, 2007, non-interest income was $40.0 million, an increase of 8.2 percent from $37.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The overall increase in non-interest income for 2007 is primarily due to expansion in the Bank’s loan and deposit portfolios and higher insurance commissions due to the acquisition of two insurance agencies in January 2007, partially offset by lower gain on sales of loans and another-than-temporary impairment loss on securities. For the year ended December 31, 2006, non-interest income was $37.0 million, an increase of 17.5 percent from $31.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The overall increase in non-interest income for 2006 is primarily due to expansion in the Bank’s loan and deposit portfolios.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $927,000, or 5.4 percent, in 2007 compared to 2006 and increased $1.4 million, or 8.6 percent, in 2006 compared to 2005. Service charge income on deposit accounts increased in 2007 and 2006 due to an increase in the number of accounts and an increase in demand deposit transaction volume. Average demand deposits decreased by 4.5 percent to $702.3 million in 2007 from $735.4 million in 2006 and decreased by 2.1 percent to $735.4 million in 2006 from $751.5 million in 2005.

Insurance commissions increased $4.2 million, or 543.4 percent, in 2007 compared to 2006 and increased $119,000, or 18.3 percent, in 2006 compared to 2005. Insurance commissions

28

increased in 2007 due to the acquisition of two insurance agencies in January 2007.

Fees generated from international trade finance decreased by 1.6 percent from $4.6 million in 2006 to $4.5 million in 2007 and increased by 7.0 percent from $4.3 million in 2005 to $4.6 million in 2006. The decrease in 2007 is attributable primarily to decreased export letter of credit volume. The increase in 2006 is attributable primarily to increased export letter of credit volume and fee increases. Trade finance fees relate primarily to import and export letters of credit.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives are caused primarily by movements in the indexes to which interest rates on certain certificates of deposit are tied. In 2005, the Bank offered certificates of deposit tied to either the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index or a basket of Asian currencies. The Bank entered into swap transactions to hedge the market risk associated with such certificates of deposit. The swaps and the related derivatives embedded in the certificates of deposit are accounted for at fair value. The increases in the fair value of the swaps of $683,000, $1.1 million and $1.1 million recorded in non-interest income in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are partially offset by changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives recorded in non-interest expenses.

Gain on sales of loans was $5.5 million in 2007, compared to $6.9 million in 2006 and $3.0 million in 2005, representing a decrease of 21.2 percent for the year ended December 31, 2007 and an increase of 129.0 percent for the year ended December 31, 2006. In 2007, the decrease in gain on sales of loans resulted from lower premiums, which decreased to 4.3 percent in 2007 compared to 5.3 percent in 2006. In 2006, the increase in gain on sales of loans resulted from increased sales activity in SBA loans, which was primarily due to increased loan production and sales efforts, including the sale of some of the unguaranteed portions of SBA loans. Generally, the guaranteed portion of a substantial percentage of SBA loans is sold in the secondary markets, and servicing rights are retained. During 2007, there were $116.6 million of SBA loans sold, compared to $110.7 million in 2006 and $50.6 million in 2005.

We periodically evaluate our investments forother-than-temporary impairment. We have investments in Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) preferred securities with an aggregate par value of $2.0 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. During the fourth quarter of 2007, based on an evaluation of the length of time and extent to which the estimated fair value of the CRA preferred securities had been less than their carrying value, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, we recorded another-than-temporary impairment charge of $1.1 million to write down the value of the CRA preferred securities to their estimated fair value.

Total Non-Interest Expenses	$	189,929	$	77,313	$	70,201

For the year ended December 31, 2007, non-interest expenses were $189.9 million, an increase of $112.6 million, or 145.7 percent, from $77.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in 2007 was primarily the result of an impairment loss on goodwill of $102.9 million. The remaining increase in 2007 was due to increases in compensation, occupancy and equipment expenses, and other operating expenses, as well as non-interest expenses of $3.6 million attributable to Chun-Ha and All World and $1.3 million attributable to the two new branches that opened during 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2006, non-interest expenses were $77.3 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 10.1 percent, from $70.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in 2006 was primarily the result of higher compensation.

Salaries and employee benefits expenses for 2007 increased $6.5 million, or 16.1 percent, to $47.0 million from $40.5 million for 2006. Salaries and employee benefits expenses for 2006 increased $3.7 million, or 10.0 percent, to $40.5 million from $36.8 million for 2005. The increase in 2007 was due to $2.4 million attributable to Chun-Ha and All World, $1.7 million of separation expenses for our former Chief Executive Officer’s retirement, $521,000 attributable to the two new branches that opened during 2007, $370,000 of additional share-based compensation reflecting stock options granted, annual salary increases and an increase in the

29

average number of employees. Average headcount was 623, 589 and 535 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing increases of 5.8 percent, 10.1 percent and 6.4 percent, respectively, over the prior years. The increase in 2006 was due primarily to annual salary increases, additional share-based compensation reflecting stock options granted and an increase in the average number of employees.

Occupancy and equipment expenses for 2007 increased $851,000, or 8.8 percent, to $10.5 million from $9.6 million for 2006. Occupancy and equipment expenses for 2006 increased $230,000, or 2.4 percent, to $9.6 million from $9.4 million for 2005. The increase in 2007 was due to $476,000 attributable to the two new branches that opened during 2007, $194,000 attributable to Chun-Ha and All World, and additional office space leased. The increase in 2006 was due to additional office space leased.

Other operating expenses were $11.9 million for 2007, compared to $11.0 million for 2006, representing an increase of $829,000, or 7.5 percent. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization of loan servicing assets. Other operating expenses were $11.0 million for 2006, compared to $8.4 million for 2005, representing an increase of $2.6 million, or 31.3 percent. The increase is primarily attributable to a $534,000 operating loss related to an international trade transaction, amortization expense of $879,000 related to the termination in the fourth quarter of 2005 of interest rate swaps that had unrealized losses aggregating $2.1 million, and a $355,000 impairment charge to adjust the loan servicing asset to fair value.

During our annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2007, we concluded that we had an impairment of goodwill based on the decline in the market value of our common stock, which we believe reflects, in part, recent turmoil in the financial markets that has adversely affected the market value of the common stock of many banks. The fair value was determined based on a weighted distribution of values derived from three different approaches: market approach, market capitalization approach, and income approach. Based on this assessment, we concluded that $102.9 million of the related goodwill was impaired and was required to be expensed as a non-cash charge to continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2007. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, goodwill was $107.1 million and $207.6 million, respectively, which resulted primarily from the acquisition of PUB in 2004.

Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2007, income taxes of $24.5 million were recognized on pre-tax losses of $36.0 million, representing an effective tax rate of 67.9 percent, compared to income taxes of $40.6 million recognized on pre-tax income of $106.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 38.2 percent, for 2006, and income taxes of $36.5 million recognized on pre-tax income of $94.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of 38.5 percent, for 2005. The effective tax rate for 2007 includes a $102.9 million impairment loss on goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

During 2007, we made investments in various tax credit funds totaling $5.8 million and recognized $775,000 of income tax credits earned from qualified low-income housing investments. We recognized an income tax credit of $659,000 for the tax year 2006 from $4.8 million in such investments and recognized an income tax credit of $673,000 for the tax year 2005 from $5.9 million in such investments. We intend to continue to make such investments as part of an effort to lower the effective tax rate and to meet our community reinvestment obligations under the CRA.

As indicated in“Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11 — Income Taxes,”income taxes are the sum of two components: current tax expense and deferred tax expense (benefit). Current tax expense is the result of applying the current tax rate to taxable income. The deferred portion is intended to account for the fact that income on which taxes are paid differs from financial statement pretax income because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different years for income tax purposes than in the financial statements. These differences in the years that income and expenses are recognized cause “temporary differences.”

Most of our temporary differences involve recognizing more expenses in our financial statements than we have been allowed to deduct for taxes, and therefore we normally have a net deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had net deferred tax assets of $18.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

Financial Condition

Loan Portfolio

Total gross loans increased by $419.1 million, or 14.6 percent, in 2007. Total gross loans represented 82.5 percent of total assets at December 31, 2007, compared with 77.0 percent and 73.2 percent at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Commercial and industrial loans were $2,094.7 million and $1,726.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively,

30

representing 63.7 percent and 60.2 percent, respectively, of the total loan portfolio. Commercial loans include term loans and revolving lines of credit. Term loans typically have a maturity of three to five years and are extended to finance the purchase of business entities, owner-occupied commercial property, business equipment, leasehold improvements or for permanent working capital. SBA guaranteed loans usually have a longer maturity (five to twenty years). Lines of credit, in general, are extended on an annual basis to businesses that need temporary working capitaland/or import/export financing. These borrowers are well diversified as to industry, location and their current and target markets.

Real estate loans were $1,101.9 million and $1,041.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing 33.5 percent and 36.3 percent, respectively, of the total loan portfolio. Real estate loans are extended to finance the purchaseand/or improvement of commercial real estate and residential property. The properties generally are investor-owned, but may be for user-owned purposes. Underwriting guidelines include, among other things, an appraisal in conformity with the USPAP, limitations onloan-to-value ratios, and minimum cash flow requirements to service debt. The majority of the properties taken as collateral are located in Southern California.

As of December 31, 2007, there were $389.7 million of loans, or 11.9 percent of total gross loans, to borrowers who were involved in the accommodation/hospitality industry, and $336.9 million of loans, or 10.2 percent of total gross loans, to borrowers operating gasoline stations. There was no other concentration of loans to any one type of industry exceeding ten percent of total gross loans outstanding.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans restructured where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Loans may be restructured by management when a borrower has experienced some change in financial status, causing an inability to meet the original repayment terms, and where we believe the borrower eventually will overcome those circumstances and repay the loan in full. OREO consists of properties acquired by foreclosure or similar means that management intends to offer for sale.

Management’s classification of a loan as non-accrual is an indication that there is reasonable doubt as to the full collectibility of principal or interest on the loan; at this point, we stop recognizing income from the interest on the loan and reverse any uncollected interest that had been accrued but unpaid. These loans may or may not be collateralized, but collection efforts are continuously pursued.

Non-performing loans were $54.5 million at December 31, 2007, compared to $14.2 million and $10.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing a 283.3 percent increase in 2007 and a 40.3 percent increase in 2006. Total gross loans increased by 14.6 percent in 2007 over 2006 and 14.8 percent in 2006 over 2005. As a result, the ratio of non-performing loans to total gross loans increased to 1.66 percent at December 31, 2007 from 0.50 percent at December 31, 2006, and increased to 0.50 percent at December 31, 2006 from 0.41 percent at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2007, we had $287,000 of OREO. There was no OREO as of December 31, 2006.

Except for non-performing loans set forth below and loans disclosed as impaired, our management is not aware of any loans as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 for which known credit problems of the borrower would cause serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment

33

terms, or any known events that would result in the loan being designated as non-performing at some future date. Our management cannot, however, predict the extent to which a deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increases in general rates of interest, or changes in the financial condition or business of borrower may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to pay.

The following table provides information with respect to the components of non-performing assets as of December 31 for the years indicated:

Non-accrual loans at December 31, 2007 included a $17.0 million construction loan for low-income housing that is fully collateralized and participated in by the local government. The downgrade of this loan relates to project cost overruns and construction delays. Despite these setbacks, we anticipate the project being completed and our loan being repaid without a loss to the Bank.

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.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $16.1 million, or 58.3 percent, to $43.6 million at December 31, 2007 as compared with $27.6 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in the allowance for loan losses in 2007 was due primarily to the increased migration of loans into more adverse risk rating categories and the increase in the overall loan portfolio. 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 impaired loans and the presence of guarantees. The increase in the allowance for loan losses in 2006 was due primarily to increased specific allowances for impaired loans and an increase in the qualitative adjustments due to changes in the qualitative factors. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans substantially improved to 1.33 percent at the end of 2007 as compared with 0.96 percent and 1.00 percent at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, primarily due to the overall increase of historical loss factors and classified loans.

The Bank also recorded in other liabilities an allowance for off-

35

balance sheet exposure, primarily unfunded loan commitments, of $1.8 million and $2.1 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

We determine the appropriate overall allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items based on the analysis described above, taking into account management’s judgment. The allowance methodology is reviewed on a periodic basis and modified as appropriate. Based on this analysis, including the aforementioned factors, we believe that the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are adequate as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Investment Portfolio

As of December 31, 2007, the investment portfolio was composed primarily of mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Government agency securities (“Agencies”), municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate bonds.

Investment securities available for sale were 99.7 percent, 99.8 percent and 99.8 percent of the total investment portfolio as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Most of the securities held by us carried fixed interest rates. Other than holdings of Agencies, there were no investments in securities of any one issuer exceeding 10 percent of stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

We maintain an investment portfolio primarily for liquidity purposes. As of December 31, 2007, securities available for sale were $349.5 million, or 8.8 percent of total assets, compared to $390.6 million, or 10.5 percent of total assets, as of December 31, 2006. In 2007 and 2006, we purchased $45.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of Agencies, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities to replenish the portfolio for principal repayments in the form of calls, prepayments and scheduled amortization and to maintain an asset mix consistent with our strategic direction.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost, fair value and distribution of investment securities as of the dates indicated:

Deposits

Total deposits at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $3,001.7 million, $2,944.7 million and $2,826.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of $57.0 million, or 1.9 percent, in 2007 and $118.6 million, or 4.2 percent, in 2006. At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, total time deposits outstanding were $1,782.5 million, $1,678.8 million and $1,439.8 million, respectively, representing 59.4 percent, 57.0 percent and 50.9 percent, respectively, of total deposits. This growth reflects the shift away from low-yielding accounts that normally occurs as interest rates rise and depositors take advantage of the greater interest rate differentials available in the market.

Demand deposits and money market accounts decreased by $40.5 million, or 3.5 percent, in 2007 and $98.2 million, or 7.8 percent, in 2006. Core deposits (defined as demand, money market and savings deposits) decreased by $46.7 million, or 3.7 percent, to $1,219.7 million as of December 31, 2007 from $1,265.9 million as of December 31, 2006, as depositors shifted funds into higher yielding certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2007, noninterest-bearing demand deposits represented 22.7 percent of total deposits compared to 24.7 percent at December 31, 2006.

Average deposits for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $2,989.8 million, $2,881.4 million and $2,632.3 million, respectively. Average deposits grew by 3.8 percent in 2007 and 9.5 percent in 2006.

We accept brokered deposits on a selective basis at prudent interest rates to augment deposit growth. There were $31.8 million and $3.3 million of brokered deposits as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We also had $200.0 million of state time deposits over $100,000 with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.62 percent and 5.16 percent as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings

FHLB advances and other borrowings mostly take the form of advances from the FHLB of San Francisco and overnight Federal funds.

At December 31, 2007, advances from the FHLB were $432.7 million, an increase of $264.6 million, or 157.4 percent, from the December 31, 2006 balance of $168.1 million. During 2007 and 2006, advances from the FHLB were utilized to fund loans due to favorable rates.

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 at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

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., apoint-in-time analysis measuring the difference between assets maturing or repricing in a period and liabilities maturing or repricing within the same time 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.

On December 31, 2007, the cumulative repricing gap as a percentage of interest-earning assets in the less than three month period was 1.58 percent. This decrease from the previous year’s figure of 29.26 percent was caused primarily by increases of $329.5 million and $363.6 million in fixed rate certificates of deposit and FHLB advances and other borrowings, respectively,

40

with maturities of less than three months. The cumulative repricing percentage in the less than twelve month period also moved lower, reaching (20.39) percent. This was a decrease from the previous year’s figure of (2.56) percent. The decrease was caused primarily by increases of $105.2 million and $423.6 million in fixed rate certificates of deposit and FHLB advances and other borrowings, respectively, with maturities of less than twelve months.

The following table summarizes the status of the cumulative gap position as of the dates indicated.

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

Liquidity of the Bank is defined as the ability to supply cash as quickly as needed without causing a severe deterioration in profitability. The Bank’s liquidity consists primarily of available cash positions, Federal funds sold and short-term investments categorized as available for sale securities, which can be disposed of without significant capital losses in the ordinary course of business, plus borrowing capacities, which include Federal funds lines, repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. Therefore, maintenance of high quality loans and securities that can be used for collateral in repurchase agreements or other secured borrowings is important feature of our liquidity management.

The maintenance of a proper level of liquid assets is critical for both the liquidity and the profitability of the Bank. Since the primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to ensure the Bank has adequate liquidity, management maintains appropriate levels of liquid assets to avoid exposure to higher than necessary liquidity risk. Liquidity risk may increase when the Bank has few short-duration securities available for saleand/or is not capable of raising funds as quickly as necessary at acceptable rates in the capital or money markets. A heavy and sudden increase in cash demands for loansand/or deposits can tighten the liquidity position. Several ratios are reviewed on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis to manage the liquidity position and to preempt any liquidity crisis.

41

Specific statistics, which include the loans-to-assets ratio, off-balance sheet items and dependence on non-core deposits, foreign deposits, lines of credit and liquid assets, are reviewed regularly for liquidity management purposes.

	December 31,
Liquidity Ratios	2007			2006			2005
Core Deposits/Total Assets		26.9	%		30.1	%		35.3	%
Short-Term Non-Core Funding/Total Assets		54.8	%		46.0	%		41.8	%
Net Loans/Total Assets		79.8	%		76.6	%		72.4	%
Investments/Deposits		13.6	%		15.9	%		18.9	%
Loans and Investments/Deposits		122.0	%		112.2	%		106.3	%
Off-Balance Sheet Items/Total Assets		15.8	%		19.0	%		18.5	%

The net loans to total assets ratio increased to 79.8 percent as of December 31, 2007, compared to 76.6 percent at December 31, 2006. The ratio of loans and investments to deposits increased to 122.0 percent as the Bank made use of short-term borrowings to fund a portion of loan portfolio growth. Off-balance sheet items as a percentage of total assets decreased at December 31, 2006 to 15.8 percent, compared to 19.0 percent at December 31, 2006, and the total amount decreased to $643.6 million at December 31, 2007 from $708.8 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a $54.0 million decrease in commitments to extend credit. During the year, the percentage of off-balance sheet items to total assets generally ranged from 18 percent to 20 percent. The ratio of short-term non-core funding to total assets was 54.8 percent at December 31, 2007, compared to 46.0 percent at December 31, 2006.

Foreign deposits areU.S.-based deposits made by foreign customers. Foreign deposit risk deals with dependency on foreign deposits that could adversely affect the Bank’s liquidity. These liabilities are assumed to be volatile because of the variability of social, political and environmental conditions in foreign countries. As of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, foreign deposits were $331.2 million, $325.4 million and $294.3 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, we maintained a total of $186.0 million in credit lines secured by us to meet our liquidity needs. In addition, we maintained eight master repurchase agreements, all of which can furnish liquidity to us in consideration of bond collateral. We also can meet our liquidity needs through borrowings from the FHLB. We are eligible to borrow up of 25 percent of our total assets from the FHLB.

As of December 31, 2007, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures. We raise capital in the form of deposits, borrowings (primarily FHLB advances and junior subordinated debentures) and equity, and expect to continue to rely upon deposits as the primary source of capital.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 160, “Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51”— In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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

42

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. A disclosure must be made on the face of the consolidated statement of operations of the net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. 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. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”— In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), which revises SFAS No. 141 and changes multiple aspects of the accounting for business combinations. Under the guidance in SFAS No. 141(R), the acquisition method must be used, which requires the acquirer to recognize most identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquiree at their full fair value on the acquisition date. Goodwill is to be recognized as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of the non-controlling interest over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as a liability are to be recognized in earnings, while contingent consideration classified as equity is not to be remeasured. Costs such as transaction costs are to be excluded from acquisition accounting, generally leading to recognizing expense and additionally, restructuring costs that do not meet certain criteria at acquisition date are to be subsequently recognized as post-acquisition costs. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on our financial position and results of operations.

SAB No. 109, “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings”— On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 109. Previously, SAB No. 105,“Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments,”stated that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, a company should not incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB No. 109 supersedes SAB No. 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB No. 105 also indicated that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, and SAB No. 109 retains that view. SAB No. 109 is effective for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of SAB No. 109 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

EITF IssueNo. 06-10, “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements”— In March 2007, the FASB ratified EITF IssueNo. 06-10, which provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset based on the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF IssueNo. 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF IssueNo. 06-10 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”— In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,”which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument by instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. We are required to and plan to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 159 beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”— In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

EITF IssueNo. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”— In September 2006, the FASB’s

43

Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF IssueNo. 06-4, which requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee’s benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee’s active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. Alternatively, if the policyholder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106,“Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,”or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented; or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The disclosures are required in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF IssueNo. 06-4 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2007, Hanmi Financial carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Hanmi Financial’s management, including Hanmi Financial’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Hanmi Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that:

•  Hanmi Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report in timely alerting them to material information relating to Hanmi Financial that is required to be included in Hanmi Financial’s periodic SEC filings; and

•  Hanmi Financial’s internal controls over financial reporting provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, there have been no changes in Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in SEC rules as 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. Hanmi Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed to ensure that material information related to Hanmi Financial, including subsidiaries, is made known to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a timely manner.

KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements of Hanmi Financial and subsidiaries, has issued a report on Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The report expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted

44

accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those written policies and procedures that:

•  pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

•  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

•  provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

•  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described inInternal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of Hanmi Financial’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2007, Hanmi Financial maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Hanmi Financial Corporation:

We have audited Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Hanmi Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Hanmi Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Hanmi Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Hanmi Financial Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Hanmi Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 29, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Hanmi Financial Corporation and subsidiaries conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi Financial,” “we,” “us” or “our”) and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), Chun-Ha Insurance Services, Inc. (“Chun-Ha”) and All World Insurance Services, Inc. (“All World”). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Hanmi Financial was formed as a holding company of the Bank and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 on March 17, 2001. Subsequent to its formation, each of the Bank’s shares was exchanged for one share of Hanmi Financial with an equal value. Our primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through operation of the Bank.

The Bank is a community bank conducting general business banking, with its primary market encompassing theKorean-American community as well as other communities in the multi-ethnic populations of Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County, the San Francisco Bay area, and the Silicon Valley area in Santa Clara County. The Bank’s full-service offices are located in business areas where many of the businesses are run by immigrants and other minority groups. The Bank’s client base reflects the multi-ethnic composition of these communities. The Bank is a California state-chartered, FDIC-insured financial institution. As of December 31, 2007, the Bank maintained a branch network of 24 full-service branch offices in California and eight loan production offices in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

Our other subsidiaries, Chun-Ha and All World, were acquired in January 2007. Founded in 1989, Chun-Ha and All World are insurance brokerages that offer a complete line of insurance products, including life, commercial, automobile, health, and property and casualty.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, overnight Federal funds sold, all of which have original or purchased maturities of less than 90 days.

Securities

Securities are classified into three categories and accounted for as follows:

1.  Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and reported at amortized cost;

2.	Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future are classified as “trading securities” and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in earnings; and
3.	Securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as “available for sale” and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes.

Accreted discounts and amortized premiums on investment securities are included in interest income using the effective interest method

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

over the remaining period to the call date or contractual maturity and, in the case of mortgage-backed securities and securities with call features, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Unrealized and realized gains or losses related to holding or selling of securities are calculated using the specific-identification method.

We assess, at each reporting date, whether there is an “other-than-temporary” impairment to our investment securities. We examine all individual securities that are in an unrealized loss position at each reporting date for “other-than-temporary” impairment. Specific investment level factors we examine to assess impairment include the severity and duration of the loss, an analysis of the issuers of the securities and if there has been any cause for default on the securities and any change in the rating of the securities by the various rating agencies. Additionally, we reexamine the financial resources and overall ability the Bank has and the intent management has to hold the securities until their fair values recover. To the extent there is an impairment of value deemed “other than temporary” for a security held to maturity or available for sale, a loss is recognized in earnings and a new cost basis established for the security.

We also have a minority investment of 4.99 percent in a non-publicly traded company, Pacific International Bank. The investment is carried at cost and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, its carrying value was $511,000. We monitor the investment for impairment and make appropriate reductions in carrying value when necessary.

Loans

We originate loans for investment, with such designation made at the time of origination. Loans are recorded at the contractual amounts due from borrowers, adjusted for undisbursed funds, net deferred loan fees and origination costs, and the allowance for loan losses.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market, primarily Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, are carried at the lower of cost or market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loan Interest Income and Fees

Interest on loans is credited to income as earned and is accrued only if deemed collectible. Direct loan origination costs are offset by loan origination fees with the net amount deferred and recognized over the contractual lives of the loans in interest income as a yield adjustment using the effective interest method. Discounts or premiums associated with purchased loans are accreted or amortized to interest income using the interest method over the contractual lives of the loans, adjusted for prepayments. Accretion of discounts and deferred loan fees is discontinued when loans are placed on non-accrual status.

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. 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.

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. However, the allowance is an estimate that is inherently uncertain and depends on the outcome of future events. Management’s estimates are based on previous loan loss experience; volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; the value of collateral; and current economic conditions. Our lending is concentrated in commercial, consumer, construction and real estate loans in the greater Los Angeles/Orange County area. Although management believes the level of the allowance is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, a decline in the local economy may result in increasing losses that cannot reasonably be predicted at this date.

Non-performing assets consist of loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, loans restructured where the terms of repayment have been renegotiated resulting in a reduction or deferral of interest or principal, and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless management believes the loan is adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. Additionally, the Bank may place loans that are not 90 days past due on non-accrual status, if management reasonably believes the borrower will not be able to comply with the contractual loan repayment terms and collection of principal or interest is in question.

When loans are placed on non-accrual status, accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against the current year’s income, and interest income on non-accrual loans is recorded on a cash basis. The Bank may treat payments as interest income or return of principal depending upon management’s opinion of the ultimate risk of loss on the individual loan. Cash payments are treated as interest income where management believes the remaining principal balance is fully collectible.

Loan losses are charged, and recoveries are credited, to the allowance account. Additions to the allowance account are charged to the provision for credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management based upon an evaluation and review of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss experience, current economic conditions, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, analysis of collateral values and other pertinent factors.

Loans are measured for impairment when it is probable that all amounts, including principal and interest, will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment and any subsequent changes are recorded through the provision for credit losses as an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. Accounting standards require that an impaired loan be measured based on:

1.	the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; or
2.	the loan’s observable fair value; or
3.	the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral-dependent.

The Bank follows the“Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses”and analyzes the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. In addition, as an integral part of the quarterly credit review process of the Bank, the allowance for loan losses and allowance for off-balance sheet items are reviewed for adequacy. The California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”)and/or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based upon their assessment of the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. The ranges of useful lives for the principal classes of assets are as follows:

Buildings and Improvements	10 to 30 years
Furniture and Equipment	Two to Seven Years
Leasehold Improvements	Term of Lease or Useful Life, Whichever is Shorter
Software	Three Years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We account for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Servicing Assets

Servicing assets are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 140,“Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” The fair values of servicing assets represent either the price paid if purchased, or the allocated carrying amounts based on relative values when retained in a sale. Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The fair value of servicing assets is determined based on the present value of estimated net future cash flows related to contractually specified servicing fees.

Upon sales of such loans, we receive a fee for servicing the loans. The servicing asset is recorded based on the present value of the contractually specified servicing fee, net of adequate compensation, for the estimated life of the loan, discounted by a rate in the range of 11 percent to 12 percent and a constant prepayment rate ranging from 6 percent to 16 percent. The servicing asset is amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing income. Management periodically evaluates the servicing asset for impairment. Impairment, if it occurs, is recognized in a valuation allowance in the period of impairment.

Interest-only strips are recorded based on the present value of the excess of total servicing fee over the contractually specified servicing fee for the estimated life of the loan, calculated using the same assumptions as noted above. Such interest-only strips are accounted for at their estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recorded as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Goodwill

We have goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, because of various business acquisitions. In accordance with SFAS No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”goodwill must be recorded at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are defined as an operating segment. We have identified one reporting unit — our banking operations. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill, but requires that it be tested for impairment at least annually (at any time during the year, but at the same time each year), or more frequently if events or circumstances change, such as adverse changes in the business climate, that would more likely than not reduce the reporting unit’s fair value below its carrying amount.

The impairment test is performed in two phases. The first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit was derived based on a weighted distribution of values derived from three different approaches: market approach, market capitalization approach, and income approach. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is completed.

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. We amortize the CDI balance using an accelerated method over eight years. The acquired intangible assets were initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

As required by SFAS No. 142, we evaluated the useful lives assigned to other intangible assets and determined that no change was necessary and amortization expense was not adjusted for the year ended December 31, 2007. As required by SFAS No. 142, other intangible assets are assessed for impairment or recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The other intangible assets recoverability analysis is consistent with our policy for assessing impairment of long-lived assets.

Federal Reserve Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) and is required to maintain stock in the FRB based on a specified ratio relative to the Bank’s capital. FRB stock is carried at cost and may be sold back to the FRB at its carrying value. FRB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends received are reported as dividend income.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and is required to own common stock in the FHLB based upon the Bank’s balance of residential mortgage loans and outstanding FHLB advances. FHLB stock is carried at cost and may be

sold back to the FHLB at its carrying value. FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends received are reported as dividend income.

Derivative Instruments

We account for derivatives in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133,“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.”Under SFAS No. 133, all derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge. Fair value hedges include hedges of the fair value of a recognized asset, liability or a firm commitment. Cash flow hedges include hedges of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset, liability or a forecasted transaction. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges, along with the change in fair value on the hedged asset, liability or firm commitment that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged item affects earnings.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items. This documentation includes our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions, as well as how hedge effectiveness and ineffectiveness will be measured. This process includes linking derivatives to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, with changes in its fair value recognized in current period earnings. For fair value hedges, the formerly hedged asset or liability will no longer be adjusted for changes in fair value and any previously recorded adjustments to the carrying value of the hedged asset or liability will be amortized in the same manner that the hedged item affects income. For cash flow hedges, amounts previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into income as earnings are impacted by the variability in the cash flows of the hedged item.

If the hedging instrument is terminated early, the derivative is removed from the balance sheet. Accounting for the adjustments to the hedged asset or liability or adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are the same as described above when a derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge.

If the hedged asset or liability is sold or extinguished, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, with changes in its fair value recognized in current period earnings. The hedged item, including previously recorded mark-to-market adjustments, is derecognized immediately as a component of the gain or loss upon disposition.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

We have purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due, if any, that are probable at settlement.

Affordable Housing Investments

The Bank has invested in limited partnerships formed to develop and operate affordable housing units for lower income tenants throughout California. The partnership interests are accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting. The costs of the investments are being amortized on a straight-line method over the life of related tax credits. If the partnerships cease to qualify during the compliance period, the credits may be denied for any period in which the projects are not in compliance and a portion of the credits previously taken is subject to recapture with interest. Such investments are recorded in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

We have established three statutory business trusts that are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hanmi Financial: Hanmi Capital Trust I, Hanmi Capital Trust II and Hanmi Capital Trust III (collectively, “the Trusts”). In three separate private placement transactions, the Trusts issued variable rate capital securities representing undivided preferred beneficial interests in the assets of the Trusts. Hanmi Financial is the owner of all the beneficial interests represented by the common securities of the Trusts.

FASB Interpretation No. 46R,“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (Revised December 2003) — an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,”requires that variable interest entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of expected losses from the variable interest entity’s activities, or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both. The Trusts are not consolidated and junior subordinated debt represents liabilities of Hanmi Financial to the Trusts.

Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, no valuation allowance was required.

Share-Based Compensation

We adopted SFAS No. 123(R),“Share-Based Payment,”on January 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” method. Under this method, awards that are granted, modified or settled after December 31, 2005 are measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Also under this method, expense is recognized for services attributed to the current period for unvested awards that were granted prior to January 1, 2006, based upon the fair value determined at the grant date under SFAS No. 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for stock compensation under the intrinsic value method permitted by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,”and related interpretations. Accordingly, we previously recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options that were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we applied APB No. 25 to account for share-based awards. The reported net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 has been presented below to reflect the impact had we been required to

recognize compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for stock options, as required under SFAS No. 123(R). The pro forma amounts are as follows:

	Year Ended
	December 31,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)	2005
Net Income — As Reported	$	58,229
Add — Share-Based Employee Compensation Expense Included in Reported Net Income, Net of Related Tax Effects (Restricted Stock Award)		409

Earnings Per Share — As Reported:
Basic	$	1.18
Diluted	$	1.17
Earnings Per Share — Pro Forma:

Diluted	$	1.15

In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Staff PositionNo. FAS 123R-3,“Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of the Share-Based Payment Awards”(“FAS 123R-3”). We have adopted the alternative transition method prescribed byFAS 123R-3 and concluded that we have no pool of tax benefits as of the adoption date of SFAS No. 123(R).

SFAS No. 123(R) requires that cash flows resulting from the realization of excess tax benefits recognized on awards that were fully vested at the time of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) be classified as a financing cash inflow and an operating cash outflow in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Before the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we presented all tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock options as an operating cash inflow.

In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires that any unearned compensation related to awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) be eliminated against the appropriate equity accounts. As a result, the presentation of stockholders’ equity was revised to reflect the transfer of the balance previously reported in unearned compensation to additional paid-in capital.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.

Treasury Stock

We use the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. The cost method requires us to record the reacquisition cost of treasury stock as a deduction from stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year’s presentation to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The impairment losses described previously are not included in the table above as the impairment loss was recorded. All other individual securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer at December 31, 2007 and 2006 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 at December 31, 2007 and 2006. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market interest rates have fluctuated. However, we have the ability, and management intends 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006 are not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore, no additional impairment charges as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are warranted.

Securities with carrying values of $240.4 million and $282.5 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Note 6 — Goodwill

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, goodwill totaled $107.1 million and $207.6 million, respectively. The change in goodwill during the year is as follows:

	As of and for the Years Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2007			2006
Balance at Beginning of Year	$	207,646		$	209,058

Impairment Loss on Goodwill		(102,891	)		—
Balance at End of Year	$	107,100		$	207,646

Acquired Goodwill

In January 2007, the acquisitions of Chun-Ha and All World resulted in the recognition of goodwill aggregating $2.3 million. In 2006, goodwill decreased by $1.4 million due to a tax refund related to the acquisition of Pacific Union Bank (“PUB”).

Impairment Loss on Goodwill

During our annual assessment of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2007, we concluded that we had an impairment of goodwill based on the decline in the market value of our common stock, which we believe reflects, in part, recent turmoil in the financial markets that has adversely affected the market value of the common stock of many banks. The fair value was determined based on a weighted distribution of values derived from three different approaches: market approach, market capitalization approach, and income approach. We concluded that $102.9 million of the goodwill was impaired and was required to be expensed as a non-cash charge to continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2007.

We have pledged investment securities available for sale and loans receivable with carrying values of $10.0 million and $1,278.6 million, respectively, as collateral with the FHLB for this borrowing facility. The total borrowing capacity available from the collateral that has been pledged is $714.6 million, of which $281.8 million remained available as of December 31, 2007.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings totaled $13.9 million, $7.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and the weighted-average interest rates were 5.10 percent, 5.02 percent and 3.63 percent, respectively.

Total credit lines for borrowing amounted to $186.0 million and $158.0 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, $50.0 million was borrowed under these credit lines. At December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under these credit lines.

Note 10 — 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 securities have a floating rate, which resets quarterly. Under the terms of the transactions, the securities will mature in 2034 and are redeemable, in whole or in part, without penalty, at the option of Hanmi Financial after five years. The outstanding subordinated debentures related to these offerings, the proceeds of which financed the purchase of PUB, totaled $82.4 million at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, interest expense on the junior subordinated debentures totaled $6.6 million, $6.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and the weighted-average interest rates were 8.06 percent, 7.79 percent and 5.95 percent, respectively.

Note 11 — Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes of income tax positions taken or expected to betaken on a tax return. Under FIN No. 48, the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained.

Note 11 — Income Taxes (Continued)

We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, and there was no material effect on the consolidated financial statements as of the date of adoption. Because of the implementation, there was no cumulative effect related to adopting FIN No. 48. However, certain amounts have been reclassified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in order to comply with the requirements of FIN No. 48.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

(In thousands)
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at January 1, 2007	$	794
Gross Increases for Tax Positions of Prior Years		40
Gross Decreases for Tax Positions of Prior Years		—
Increases in Tax Positions for Current Year		198
Settlements		—
Lapse in Statute of Limitations		—
Unrecognized Tax Benefits at December 31, 2007	$	1,032

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect our effective tax rate if recognized is $141,000 as of December 31, 2007 and $115,000 as of January 1, 2007.

During 2007, we accrued interest of $52,000 for uncertain tax benefits. As of December 31, 2007, the total amount of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions, net of Federal tax benefit, is $96,000. We account for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of our provision for Federal and state income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unrecognized tax benefits primarily include state exposures from California Enterprise Zone interest deductions and income tax treatment for prior business acquisition costs. We believe that it is reasonably possible that certain remaining unrecognized tax positions, each of which are individually insignificant, may be recognized by the end of 2008 because of a lapse of the statute of limitations. We anticipate an insignificant net change in the unrecognized tax benefits related to prior business acquisition costs, which will increase due to additional unrecognized tax benefits and decrease due to the lapse of the statute of limitations during 2008. We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months.

We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2004 through 2006. Hanmi Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries’ state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations by various state tax authorities for the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2006. We are currently not under any audit by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities.

Note 12 — Employee Share-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2007, we had one incentive plan, the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which replaced the Year 2000 Stock Option Plan. The 2004 CEO Stock Option Plan (the “CEO Plan”) was terminated on December 31, 2007. The Plan provides for grants of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and performance shares to non-employee directors, officers, employees and consultants of Hanmi Financial and its subsidiaries. The CEO Plan had provided for the grant of stock options and restricted stock to our former Chief Executive Officer.

2007 Equity Compensation Plan

Under the Plan, we may grant equity incentive awards for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2007, 2,879,000 shares were still available for issuance.

All stock options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the Plan generally vest based on five years of continuous service and expire ten years from the date of grant. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plan). New shares of common stock may be issued or treasury shares may be utilized upon the exercise of stock options.

The weighted-average estimated fair value per share of options granted under the Plan was as follows:

					��
	Year Ended December 31,
	2007		2006			2005
Weighted-Average Estimated Fair Value Per Share of Options Granted	$	4.49	$	6.23		$	4.96

Note 12 — Employee Share-Based Compensation (Continued)

The weighted-average fair value per share of options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2007			2006			2005
Weighted-Average Assumptions:
Dividend Yield		1.68	%		1.26	%		1.18	%
Expected Volatility		29.98	%		34.79	%		32.62	%
Expected Term		4.9 years			4.6 years			4.1 years
Risk-Free Interest Rate		4.29	%		4.85	%		4.13	%

Expected volatility is determined based on the historical weekly volatility of our stock price over a period equal to the expected term of the options granted. The expected term of the options represents the period that options granted are expected to be outstanding based primarily on the historical exercise behavior associated with previous option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for a period equal to the expected term of the options granted.

The following information under the Plan is presented for the periods indicated:

	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2007		2006		2005
Grant Date Fair Value of Options Granted	$	596	$	5,940	$	672

Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Warrants

In 2004, we issued stock warrants to affiliates of Castle Creek Financial LLC for services rendered in connection with the placement of our equity securities. Under the terms of the warrants, the warrant holders can purchase 508,558 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.50 per share. The warrants were immediately exercisable and expire after five years. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 2,000, 160,056 and 0 shares of common stock, respectively, were issued in connection with the exercise of stock warrants. In June 2007, we repurchased 324,502 stock warrants at an aggregate cash purchase price of $2.6 million and such stock warrants were then canceled. As of December 31, 2007, there were outstanding stock warrants to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock.

Repurchase of Common Stock

In April 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock as part of our ongoing capital management program. During the year ended December 31, 2007, 3,469,500 shares of our common stock were repurchased on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million. There were no common stock repurchases in 2006. In August 2005, we repurchased 1,163,000 shares of our common stock from Korea Exchange Bank for an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million as part of our ongoing capital management program. Repurchased shares are held in treasury pending use for general corporate purposes, including issuance under our stock option plans.

Note 14 — Regulatory Matters

Hanmi Financial and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Hanmi Financial and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Hanmi Financial and the Bank to maintain minimum ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to Risk-Weighted Assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to Average Assets (as defined). Management believes that, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, Hanmi Financial and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Board categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum Total Risk-Based, Tier 1 Risk-Based, and Tier 1 Leverage Ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification which management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Memorandum of Understanding

On July 20, 2005, following a joint regular examination by the FRB and the DFI, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved and signed an informal memorandum of understanding (“Memorandum”) in connection with certain deficiencies identified by the regulators relating to the Bank’s compliance with certain provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering regulations. On December 21, 2006, following a joint examination by the FRB and the DFI, the Memorandum was terminated.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were 1,493,766, 1,373,554 and 50,554 options and warrants outstanding, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because of a net loss or their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 16 — Employee Benefits

401(k) Plan

We have a Section 401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all of our employees. We match 75 percent of participant contributions to the 401(k) plan up to 8 percent of each 401(k) plan participant’s annual compensation. We made contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 of $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $918,000, respectively.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

In 2001 and 2004, we purchased single premium life insurance policies called bank-owned life insurance covering certain officers. The Bank is the beneficiary under the policy. In the event of the death of a covered officer, we will receive the specified insurance benefit from the insurance carrier.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective November 1, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Hanmi Financial Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (“the DCP”). The DCP is a non-qualified deferred compensation program for directors and certain key employees whereby they may defer a portion of annual compensation for payment upon retirement of the amount deferred plus a guaranteed return. The DCP is unfunded. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the liability for the deferred compensation plan and interest thereon was $188,000 and $112,000, respectively.

Note 17 — Commitments and Contingencies

We lease our premises under non-cancelable operating leases. At December 31, 2007, future minimum annual rental commitments under these non-cancelable operating leases, with initial or remaining terms of one year or more, is as follows:

Year Ending	Amount
December 31,	(In thousands)
2008	$	2,906
2009		2,864
2010		2,645
2011		1,494
2012		1,190
Thereafter		5,179
	$	16,278

Rental expenses recorded under such leases in 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $4.8 million, $4.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

In the normal course of business, we are involved in various legal claims. Management has reviewed all legal claims against us with in-house or outside legal counsel and has taken into consideration the views of such counsel as to the outcome of the claims. In management’s opinion, the final disposition of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 18 — 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 acase-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:

	December 31,
(In thousands)	2007		2006
Commitments to Extend Credit	$	524,349	$	578,347
Commercial Letters of Credit		52,544		65,158
Standby Letters of Credit		48,071		48,289
Unused Credit Card Lines		18,622		17,031
Total Undisbursed Loan Commitments	$	643,586	$	708,825

Note 19 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop estimates of fair value.

Standby Letters of Credit		48,071		147		48,289		245

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value are explained below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents— The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Term Federal Funds Sold— The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Securities— The fair value of securities is generally obtained from market bids for similar or identical securities or obtained from independent securities brokers or dealers.

Loans— Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics, primarily fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. The fair values of fixed rate mortgage loans are based on discounted cash flows utilizing applicable risk-adjusted spreads relative to the current pricing of similar fixed rate loans, as well as anticipated repayment schedules. The fair value of adjustable rate commercial loans is based on the estimated discounted cash flows utilizing the discount rates that approximate the pricing of loans collateralized by similar commercial properties. The fair value of non-performing loans at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was not estimated because it is not

practicable to reasonably assess the credit adjustment that would be applied in the marketplace for such loans. The estimated fair value is net of allowance for loan losses.

Accrued Interest Receivable— The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Federal Reserve Bank Stock and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock— The carrying amounts approximate fair value as the stock may be resold to the issuer at carrying value.

Deposits— The fair value of non-maturity deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Non-maturity deposits include noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and money market checking. Discounted cash flows have been used to value term deposits such as certificates of deposit. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on comparable deposits as to amount and term.

Accrued Interest Payable— The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

FHLB Advances, Other Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debentures — Discounted cash flows have been used to value FHLB advances, other borrowings and junior subordinated debentures.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit— The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Bank has committed to make the loans.
