Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Regulation FD Disclosure, F


Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

(a) First Regional Bancorp issued a press release on April 30, 2009 announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.



Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Executive management of First Regional Bancorp has provided the following information in response to questions received from securities analysts and others.

First Regional has stated that it meets all financial ratio requirements for "Well Capitalized" status. What are those standards, and how do First Regional's capital ratios compare to the standards?

Under the Prompt Corrective Action program, banking regulators have established different levels of capital adequacy based on the capital ratios of financial institutions. The highest capital level under this program is "Well Capitalized." As First Regional has no material intangible assets, all of First Regional's equity capital, and its equity capital ratios, are tangible. The computation of the March 31, 2009 capital ratios of First Regional Bancorp and its subsidiary, First Regional Bank, along with the Well Capitalized ratio standards are as follows:

                                                 Well            First            First

First Regional has reported its total "non-performing assets" and loans past due 30 to 89 days. Can you provide an update on the composition and status of these items?

Per banking industry convention, non-performing assets consist of loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing interest, loans on non-accrual status, and other real estate owned ("OREO"). As of March 31, 2009 First Regional's non-performing assets were as follows:

198,892,134   Net Book Value of Non-performing Assets


As indicated above, most of First Regional's nonperforming assets at March 31, 2009 were secured by or consisted of real property. The value of that real property serves to mitigate potential losses that may otherwise result from a nonperforming asset. In addition, applicable accounting standards require the Company to evaluate property values periodically relative to their carrying value on the Company's books or the loans which that property secures. Accordingly, based on current estimates of property values discounted for anticipated costs of sale and other qualitative factors, the loss potential associated with the Company's nonperforming assets has already been recognized and is reserved for in the Company's financial statements.

First Regional's loans which were 30 to 89 days past due as of March 31, 2009 were as follows:

Amount         Status          Asset Type                      Collateral

            Past Due                            Condominium project in Los Angeles
