Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the major factors that influenced our results of operations and financial condition as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in this Report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements under "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue," or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statement. These factors include the following:
• failure to maintain adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support our operations;

• a significant number of our customers failing to perform under their loans and other terms of credit agreements;

• the effect of regulatory orders we have entered into and potential future supervisory action against us or the Bank;

• fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of our interest rate spread;

• failure to attract or retain deposits;

• sources of liquidity available to us and to the Bank becoming limited or our potential inability to access sufficient sources of liquidity when needed or the requirement that we obtain government waivers to do so;

• adverse changes in domestic or global financial markets, economic conditions or business conditions or the effects of pandemic flu;

• regulatory restrictions on the Bank's ability to pay dividends to us and on our ability to make payments on Hanmi Financial obligations;

• significant reliance on loans secured by real estate and the associated vulnerability to downturns in the local real estate market, natural disasters and other variables impacting the value of real estate;

• failure to retain our key employees;

• failure to maintain our status as a financial holding company;

• adequacy of our allowance for loan losses;

• credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our provision for credit losses and allowance for loan losses;

• failure to manage our future growth or successfully integrate acquisitions;

• volatility and disruption in financial, credit and securities markets, and the price of our common stock;

• deterioration in the financial markets that may result in other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to our securities portfolio;

• competition in our primary market areas;

• demographic changes in our primary market areas; and

• significant government regulations, legislation and potential changes thereto.

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

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

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The focus of our business has been on commercial and real estate lending. As of March 31, 2009, we maintained a branch network of 27 full-service branch offices in California and 2 loan production offices in Virginia and Washington. In February 2009, we opened a new full-service branch in Diamond Bar, California and suspended operations at our loan production offices in Colorado, Georgia, Illinois and Texas.
Since the second half of 2007, the economic conditions in the markets in which our borrowers operate have continued to deteriorate and the levels of loan delinquency and defaults that we experienced have been substantially higher than historical levels. As a result, we have had to make substantial provisions for loan losses in 2007, 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, which have adversely affected our earnings. We believe that our results of operations will continue to be adversely affected if economic conditions, particularly in California, continue to deteriorate.
A continuing concern in the banking industry is liquidity. Our utilization of wholesale funds during the fourth quarter of 2008 improved our liquidity, and our strategic priority in 2009 is to replace such wholesale funds with customer deposits. As part of this strategy, our December 2008 deposit campaign with a promotional time deposit product was successful as we were able to replace some of our wholesale funds with customer deposits. As of March 31, 2009, total deposits increased sequentially by $126.0 million, or 4.1 percent, to $3.2 billion, while broker deposits and FHLB advances declined to $577.8 million and $311.1 million, respectively, compared to $874.2 million and $422.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008.
As a result of our new strategy of focusing on asset quality over growth, total assets were $3.89 billion as of March 31, 2009, compared to $3.88 billion as of December 31, 2008, and total gross loans were $3.32 billion as of March 31, 2009, compared to $3.36 billion as of December 31, 2008.
We have taken certain actions that we expect will improve our performance:
• The use of third-parties to assist the Bank in quarterly stress testing the entire loan portfolio, reviewing loans within the portfolio, and re-appraising properties where appropriate.

• A further streamlining of the Bank's operations. In February, we reduced headcount by 16, including some senior officers. We also suspended operations at four of our out-of-state loan production offices and combined three branch districts into two.

• The recent enhancement of the Board of Directors with the addition of three new members. Together, they bring extensive experience in the banking industry, notably their experience in meeting the expectations and requirements of bank regulators.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income Before Provision for Credit Losses Our earnings depend largely upon the difference between the interest income received from our loan portfolio and other interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The difference is "net interest income." The difference between the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is "net interest spread." Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets, is referred to as the "net interest margin." Net interest income is affected by the change in the level and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as "volume changes." Our net interest income also is affected by changes in the yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as "rate changes." Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and competitive factors. Those factors are affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control, such as Federal economic policies, the general supply of money in the economy, income tax policies, governmental budgetary matters and the actions of the FRB.
