Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On November 2, 2009, the members of the Board of Directors of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of Hanmi Financial Corporation (“Hanmi”), consented to the issuance of a Final Order (the “Order”) from the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). On the same date, Hanmi and the Bank entered into a Written Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”). The Order and the Agreement contain substantially similar provisions.
     The Order and the Agreement require the Board of Directors of the Bank to prepare and submit written plans to the DFI and the FRB that address the following items: (i) strengthening board oversight of the management and operation of the Bank; (ii) strengthening credit risk management practices; (iii) improving credit administration policies and procedures; (iv) improving the Bank’s position with respect to problem assets; (v) maintaining adequate reserves for loan and lease losses; (vi) improving the capital position of the Bank and, with respect to the Agreement, of Hanmi; (vii) improving the Bank’s earnings through a strategic plan and a budget for 2010; (viii) improving the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices; and (ix) contingency funding. In addition, the Order and the Agreement place restrictions on the Bank’s lending to borrowers who have adversely classified loans with the Bank and requires the Bank to charge off or collect certain problem loans. The Order and the Agreement also require the Bank to review and revise its allowance for loan and lease losses consistent with relevant supervisory guidance. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, or making certain changes to its business without prior approval from the DFI, and the Bank and Hanmi must obtain prior approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying dividends.
     Under the Order, the Bank is also required to increase its capital and maintain certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified in the Order. By July 31, 2010, the Bank will be required to increase its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100 million. The Bank will be required to maintain a ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to total tangible assets as follows:
     
    Ratio of Tangible Shareholders’
Date   Equity to Total Tangible Assets
By December 31, 2009   Not Less Than 7.0 Percent
By July 31, 2010   Not Less Than 9.0 Percent
From December 31, 2010 and
Until the Order is Terminated
  Not Less Than 9.5 Percent
     If the Bank is not able to maintain the capital ratios identified in the Order, it must notify the DFI, and Hanmi and the Bank are required to notify the FRB if their respective capital ratios fall below those set forth in the capital plan to be submitted to the FRB.
     The Board of Directors and Management are committed to addressing and resolving the matters raised in the Order and the Agreement on a timely basis and actions have already been undertaken to comply with each requirement.
     A copy of the Order is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and a copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2. The provisions of the Order and the Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, and the description of the Order and the Agreement above is qualified in its entirety by reference to those documents.
     On November 5, 2009, Hanmi issued a press release related to the Order and the Agreement, among other things. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Forward-Looking Statements
     This form contains forward-looking statements, which are included in accordance with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 Hanmi believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Hanmi’s 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 Hanmi’s operations; the effect of regulatory orders Hanmi or the Bank has entered into and potential future supervisory action against Hanmi or the Bank; general economic and business conditions internationally, nationally and in those areas in which the Bank operates; volatility and deterioration in the credit and equity markets; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; availability of capital from private and government sources; demographic changes; competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract or retain loans and deposits; fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of the Bank’s interest rate spread; risks of natural disasters related to the Bank’s real estate portfolio; risks associated with Small Business Administration loans; failure to attract or retain key employees; changes in governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, any increase in FDIC insurance premiums; ability to receive regulatory approval for the Bank to declare dividends to Hanmi; adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses, credit quality and the effect of credit quality on the Bank’s provision for credit losses and allowance for loan losses; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of the Bank’s borrowers and the ability of the Bank’s borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans and other terms of credit agreements; Hanmi’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions it may make; Hanmi’s ability to control expenses; and changes in securities markets. In addition, Hanmi sets forth certain risks in its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Hanmi’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and current and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission thereafter, which could cause actual results to differ from those projected. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Consequently, you should not consider such disclosures to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Hanmi undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements except as required by law.

  1.   Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the board of directors of the Bank shall submit to the Department of Financial Institutions (Department) a written plan to strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of the Bank. The plan shall, at a minimum, address, consider, and include:

and applicable laws and regulations; and
 
  (c)   A description of the information and reports that will be regularly reviewed by the board of directors in its oversight of the operations and management of the Bank, including information on the Bank’s adversely classified assets, allowance for loan and lease losses, capital, earnings, and liquidity.
  2.   Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department an acceptable written plan to strengthen credit risk management practices. The plan shall, at a minimum, address, consider, and include:
  (a)   Procedures to periodically review and revise risk exposure limits to address changes in market conditions;
 
  (b)   Strategies to minimize credit losses and reduce the level of problem assets;
 
  (c)   Enhanced stress testing of loan and portfolio segments; and
 
  (d)   Procedures to identify, limit, and manage concentrations of credit that are consistent with the Interagency Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending, Sound Risk Management Practices, dated December 12, 2006 (SR 07-1).

  3.   Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department acceptable revised written credit administration policies and procedures that shall, at a minimum, address, consider, and include:
  (a)   For loans that are modified, analyses of borrowers’ current financial condition and guarantors’ cash flow and repayment sources;
 
  (b)   The appropriate use of interest reserves; and
 
  (c)   Enhancements to the internal loan grading system to timely and accurately identify individual problem credits.
  4.   (a) The Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, extend or renew any credit to or for the benefit of any borrower, including any related interest of the borrower, who is obligated to the Bank in any manner on any extension of credit or portion thereof that has been charged off by the Bank or classified, in whole or in part, “loss” in the Report of Examination of the Bank conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Department that commenced on April 13, 2009 (the “Report of Examination”) or in any subsequent report of examination, as long as such credit remains uncollected.
  (b)   The Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, extend or renew any credit to or for the benefit of any borrower, including any related interest of the borrower, whose extension of credit has been classified “doubtful” or “substandard” in the Report of Examination or in any subsequent report of examination, without the prior approval of the Bank’s board of directors or the Bank’s loan committee. The board

3


 

      of directors or loan committee shall document in writing the reasons for the extension of credit or renewal, specifically certifying that: (i) the extension of credit is necessary to protect the Bank’s interest in the ultimate collection of the credit already granted or (ii) the extension of credit is in full compliance with the Bank’s written loan policy, is adequately secured, and a thorough credit analysis has been performed indicating that the extension or renewal is reasonable and justified, all necessary loan documentation has been properly and accurately prepared and filed, the extension of credit will not impair the Bank’s interest in obtaining repayment of the already outstanding credit, and the board of directors or loan committee reasonably believes that the extension of credit or renewal will be repaid according to its terms. The written certification shall be made a part of the minutes of the board of directors meetings, and a copy of the signed certification, together with the credit analysis and related information that was used in the determination, shall be retained by the Bank in the borrower’s credit file for subsequent supervisory review. For purposes of this Order, the term “related interest” is defined as set forth in Section 215.2(n) of Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board of Governors) (12 C.F.R. § 215.2(n)).

4


 

      improve the Bank’s position through repayment, amortization, liquidation, additional collateral, or other means on each loan or other asset in excess of $3 million, including other real estate owned (OREO), that (i) is past due as to principal or interest more than 90 days as of the date of this Order; (ii) is on the Bank’s problem loan list; or (iii) was adversely classified in the Report of Examination. In developing the plan for each loan, the Bank shall, at a minimum, review, analyze, and document the financial position of the borrower, including source of repayment, repayment ability, and alternative repayment sources, as well as the value and accessibility of any pledged or assigned collateral, and any possible actions to improve the Bank’s collateral position.
  (b)   Within 30 days of the date that any additional loan or other asset in excess of $3 million, including OREO, becomes past due as to principal or interest for more than 90 days, is on the Bank’s problem loan list, or is adversely classified in any subsequent report of examination of the Bank, the Bank shall submit to the Department an acceptable written plan to improve the Bank’s position on such loan or asset.
 
  (c)   Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter thereafter, the Bank shall submit a written progress report to the Department to update each asset improvement plan, which shall include, at a minimum, the carrying value of the loan or other asset and changes

5

The board of directors shall review the progress reports before submission to the Department and shall document the review in the minutes of the board of directors’ meetings.
6.  (a)   Within 10 days after the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall eliminate from its books, by charge-off or collection, all assets or portions of assets classified “loss” in the Report of Examination that have not been previously collected in full or charged off. Thereafter the Bank shall, within 30 days from the receipt of any federal or state report of examination, charge off all assets classified “loss” unless otherwise approved in writing by the Department.
  (b)   Within 60 days after the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall review and revise its allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) methodology consistent with relevant supervisory guidance, including the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, dated July 2, 2001 (SR 01-17 (Sup)) and December 13, 2006 (SR 06-17), and the findings and recommendations regarding the ALLL set forth in the Report of Examination, and submit a description of the revised methodology to the Department. The revised ALLL methodology shall be designed

6


 

      to maintain an adequate ALLL and shall address, consider, and include, at a minimum, the reliability of the Bank’s loan grading system, the volume of criticized loans, concentrations of credit, the current level of past due and nonperforming loans, past loan loss experience, evaluation of probable losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio, including adversely classified loans, and the impact of market conditions on loan and collateral valuations and collectibility.
 
  (c)   Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department an acceptable written program for the maintenance of an adequate ALLL. The program shall include policies and procedures to ensure adherence to the revised ALLL methodology and provide for periodic reviews and updates to the ALLL methodology, as appropriate. The program shall also provide for a review of the ALLL by the board of directors on at least a quarterly calendar basis. Any deficiency found in the ALLL shall be remedied in the quarter it is discovered, prior to the filing of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income, by additional provisions. The board of directors shall maintain written documentation of its review, including the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Bank in determining the adequacy of the ALLL. During the term of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department, within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, a written report regarding the board of directors’ quarterly review of the

      ALLL and a description of any changes to the methodology used in determining the amount of ALLL for that quarter.
7.  (a)   By December 31, 2009, the Bank shall have and thereafter continue to maintain a ratio of tangible shareholder’s equity to total tangible assets of not less than 7.0%.

  (b)   By July 31, 2010, the Bank shall increase its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100 million, and shall thereafter maintain a ratio of tangible shareholder’s equity to total tangible assets of not less than 9.0%.

  (c)   By December 31, 2010, and thereafter during the life of this Order, the Bank shall maintain a ratio of tangible shareholder’s equity to total tangible assets of not less than 9.5%.

8.   By November 30, 2009, the Bank shall develop, adopt, and implement a comprehensive capital augmentation and maintenance plan (“Capital

8


 

    Plan”) acceptable to the Commissioner. Such Capital Plan shall identify the sources and timing of additional capital and shall, at a minimum, provide a plan for compliance with Subparagraphs 7(a) through 7(d) of this Order. Such Capital Plan shall include provisions for monitoring, controlling, and addressing risks to the Bank’s capital, and shall also discuss contingency plans for identifying and raising additional capital in the future if and when it should become necessary. Such Capital Plan shall be in a form and shall be implemented in a manner acceptable to the Commissioner.
 
9.   The Bank shall notify the Department, in writing, no more than 30 days after the end of any quarter in which any of the Bank’s capital ratios (total risk-based, Tier 1, or leverage) fall below the approved Capital Plan’s minimum ratios. Together with the notification, the Bank shall submit an acceptable written plan that details the steps the Bank will take to increase the Bank’s capital ratios to or above the approved Capital Plan’s minimums.
10.  (a)    Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department a strategic plan to improve the Bank’s earnings, and a budget for 2010. The written plan and budget shall include, but not be limited to:
  (i)   Identification of the major areas where, and means by which, the board of directors will seek to improve the Bank’s operating performance;

9


 

  (ii)   A realistic and comprehensive budget for calendar year 2010, including income statement and balance sheet projections; and
 
  (iii)   A description of the operating assumptions that form the basis for, and adequately support, major projected income, expense, and balance sheet components.
  (b)   A strategic plan and budget for each calendar year subsequent to 2010 shall be submitted to the Department at least 30 days prior to the beginning of that calendar year.
11.   Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department an acceptable written plan designed to improve management of the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices that includes, but is not limited to, measures to reduce reliance on short-term wholesale funding, including brokered deposits.
 
12.   Within 60 days of the effective date of this Order, the Bank shall submit to the Department an acceptable revised written contingency funding plan that, at a minimum, identifies available sources of liquidity and includes adverse scenario planning.
13.  (a)    The Bank shall not declare or pay any dividends, or make any other distribution to its shareholder, without the prior written approval of the Department.
  (b)   All requests for prior approval shall be received at least 30 days prior to the proposed dividend declaration date. All requests shall

10


 

      contain, at a minimum, current and projected information on the Bank’s capital, asset quality, earnings and ALLL needs.

Such management shall include a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, and a Chief Credit Officer (collectively referred to as “Senior Executive Officers”) qualified to restore the Bank to satisfactory condition.
  (b)   During the life of this Order, the Bank shall have and retain members of the Bank’s board of directors acceptable to the Commissioner. Such members of the Bank’s board of directors shall possess the skills and abilities to satisfactorily perform the duties of a director of the Bank, to properly oversee and provide appropriate guidance to the management of the Bank, and shall be qualified to restore the Bank to satisfactory condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Commissioner reserves the right to determine whether Bank’s current senior officers and the current members of Bank’s board of directors will be considered to be qualified for purposes of this Order.
  (c)   During the life of this Order, the Bank’s board of directors shall notify the Commissioner in writing when it proposes to add any
individual to the Bank’s board of directors or employ any individual

11

The notification must be received at least 30 days before such addition or employment is intended to become effective and should include a detailed description of the background and experience of the individual or individuals to be added or employed. The Bank may not add any individual to its board of directors or employ any individual as a Senior Executive Officer unless and until the Commissioner has issued a notice of non-disapproval in writing.

Exhibit 99.1
Hanmi Financial Corporation
Reports Third-quarter 2009 Financial Results and
Formalizes Agreement with Regulators
LOS ANGELES — November 5, 2009 — Hanmi Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: HAFC) (“we,” “our” or “Hanmi”), the holding company for Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”), reported a third-quarter net loss of $59.7 million, or ($1.26) per share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008. During the third quarter, we incurred tax charges of $38.2 million related to a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets. Excluding this charge, the net loss would have been $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, primarily driven by $49.5 million in credit loss provisions.
Hanmi also announced today that Hanmi and the Bank have entered into a Written Agreement (the “Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”), effective as of November 2, 2009. In addition, the board of directors of the Bank has consented to the issuance of a Final Order (the “Final Order”) by the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”), effective as of November 2, 2009. The Written Agreement and the Final Order provide for certain actions to be taken in cooperation with the regulatory authorities and are intended to address various matters including issues related to capital, liquidity and asset quality.
Jay S. Yoo, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “In the continuing weakness of the credit markets, the third-quarter provision for loan losses was again a record high, leading to disappointing operating results. However, we have continued our business strategies in the third quarter and achieved meaningful improvements in our core banking foundation. The balance sheet deleveraging strategy changed our liability profile to core-deposit based and substantially expanded our net interest margin. Various asset quality management programs, as well as higher loan charge-offs and transfers to other real estate owned, at last reduced delinquent loans and we also took a step forward in our capital raising efforts by receiving a $6.95 million capital infusion from Leading Investment & Securities Co. as previously announced. We are currently in active negotiations with certain Korean institutional investors relating to a larger capital infusion sufficient for Hanmi to weather this credit environment.
Regulatory Agreements
The Final Order and Written Agreement require the Bank to prepare and submit written plans to the DFI and the FRB that address the following items: (i) strengthening board oversight of the management and operation of the Bank; (ii) strengthening credit risk management practices; (iii) improving credit administration policies and procedures; (iv) improving the Bank’s position with respect to problem assets; (v) improving the capital position of the Bank and, with respect to the Written Agreement, of Hanmi; (vi) maintaining adequate reserves for loan and lease losses; (vii) improving the Bank’s earnings through a strategic plan and a budget for 2010; (viii) improving the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices; and (ix) contingency funding. In addition, the Order and the Agreement place restrictions on the Bank’s lending to borrowers who have adversely classified loans with the Bank and require the Bank to charge off or collect certain problem loans. The Final Order and Written Agreement also require the Bank to review and revise its allowance for loan and lease losses consistent with relevant supervisory guidance.. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, or making certain changes to its business without prior approval from the DFI, and the Bank and Hanmi must obtain prior approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying dividends.

Under the Final Order, the Bank is also required to increase its capital and maintain certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified therein. By July 31, 2010, the Bank will be required to increase its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100 million. The Bank will be required to maintain a ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to total tangible assets as follows:
     
    Ratio of Tangible Shareholders’
Date   Equity to Total Tangible Assets
By December 31, 2009   Not Less Than 7.0 Percent
     
By July 31, 2010   Not Less Than 9.0 Percent
     
From December 31, 2010 and
Until the Order is Terminated
  Not Less Than 9.5 Percent
If the Bank is not able to maintain the capital ratios identified in the Final Order, it must notify the DFI, and Hanmi and the Bank are required to notify the FRB if their respective capital ratios fall below those set forth in the capital plan to be submitted to the FRB.
Results of Operations
The net interest income before provision for credit losses increased by $3.4 million, or 14.6 percent, to $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $23.1 million in the prior quarter. Such increase in net interest income reflects the effects of our core deposit campaign that was launched in the prior quarter. Most of our high-cost six-month time deposits that were offered from December 2008 through March 2009 and matured in the third quarter of 2009 have been rolled over into lower-cost deposits and the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 67 basis points to 2.70 percent from 3.37 percent in the second quarter of 2009. On the other hand, our stringent lending policy allowed us to increase our loan pricing and to improve the average yield on the loan portfolio to 5.50 percent in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 5.46 percent in the prior quarter. The combined result was the increase of net interest margin by 52 basis points to 3.00 percent in the third quarter compared to 2.48 percent in the second quarter.
The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2009 increased by $25.6 million to $49.5 million compared to $23.9 million in the prior quarter, due mainly to the $16.4 million additional provision provided to the impaired loans that was part of our continuing efforts to address the further deteriorating commercial real estate market. For the first nine months of 2009, the provision for credit losses more than doubled to $119.4 million compared to $50.2 million for the prior year’s same period, reflecting our effort to prepare for the uncertain credit risk in this weak credit market.
Total non-interest income in the third quarter of 2009 was $8.2 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior quarter and $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. The sequential increase in non-interest income reflects an $864,000 net gain on sales of SBA loans. The second quarter income was also reduced by an impairment loss of $909,000 on a low income housing investment
Total non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2009 was $23.7 million compared to $24.7 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 4.1 percent, and an increase of $1.5 million, or 6.5 percent, compared to $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease from the second quarter of 2009 was mainly caused by the reduction of deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments. Increased expenses in the second quarter

- 2 -


 

reflect the one-time FDIC special assessment fees of $1.8 million. Reflecting a second-quarter out-of-court settlement fee of $850,000, third-quarter loan-related expenses declined by 84.2 percent to $192,000 from $1.2 million in the second quarter. Salaries and employee benefits, the biggest single contributor to total non-interest expense, was essentially unchanged at $8.6 million compared to $8.5 million in the prior quarter. We will continue to hold down all operating costs for the remainder of 2009; however, further cost control may be offset by regulatory-related expenses such as professional fees and potential FDIC assessments. We also expect that expenses to manage our asset quality in this stressed credit environment continue to be significant. In the third quarter, expenses in relation with other real estate owned (“OREO”), such as valuation expenses and maintenance costs, more than doubled to $3.4 million from the prior quarter’s $1.5 million.
Due to increased net interest income before provision for credit losses and increased non-interest income, along with decreased non-interest expense, the efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and non-interest income) sequentially improved to 68.2 percent compared to 82.9 percent in the second quarter of 2009.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Total assets at September 30, 2009 decreased by $418.3 million, or 10.8 percent, to $3.46 billion from $3.88 billion at December 31, 2008, and decreased by $308.5 million, or 8.2 percent, from $3.77 billion at September 30, 2008, reflecting the Bank’s ongoing strategy to deleverage the balance sheet.
With our ongoing stringent lending policy to carefully evaluate all maturing loans and selectively renew our loans based on quality, gross loans, net of deferred loan fees, decreased by $384.6 million, or 11.4 percent, to $2.98 billion as of September 30, 2009, compared to $3.36 billion at December 31, 2008, and decreased by $367.5 million, or 11.0 percent, compared to $3.35 billion at September 30, 2008.
The success of our core deposit campaign together with our deleveraging strategy substantially changed our liability profile in the third quarter by increasing our core deposits and decreasing the brokered deposits and borrowings.
Our total deposits decreased by $78.2 million, or 2.5 percent, to $2.99 billion at September 30, 2009, compared to $3.07 billion at December 31, 2008, and increased by $192.5 million, or 6.9 percent, compared to $2.80 billion at September 30, 2008. Such decrease was carefully designed under our deleveraging strategy which allows some run off of volatile and expensive time deposits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, time deposits decreased by $472.1 million and our non-time deposits increased by $393.9 million. For the same nine month period, FHLB advances also decreased by $261.4 million, or 61.9 percent, to $160.8 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $422.2 million at December 31, 2008, At September 30, 2009, brokered deposits, excluding CDARS, were $365.7 million, a decrease of $508.4 million, or 58.2 percent, compared to $874.1 million at December 31, 2008.
Third quarter charge-offs, net of recoveries, were $29.9 million compared to $23.6 million in the prior quarter and $11.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. Out of the third quarter charge-offs, $22.8 million was made from unsecured commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, including one large loan in the amount of $7.0 million to an international trading company. Also included were some commercial real estate and business property loans due to decreases in hard collateral values, resulted in partial charge-offs of $4.0 million, with the remaining balance of $3.5 million consisting of consumer and SBA loans.

Delinquent loans were $151.0 million (5.07 percent of total gross loans) at September 30, 2009, compared to $178.7 million (5.66 percent of total gross loans) at June 30, 2009, $164.4 million (4.95 percent of total gross loans) at March 31, 2009, $128.5 million (3.82 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2008, and $102.9 million (3.08 percent of total gross loans) at Sept 30, 2008. The decrease in delinquencies from the prior quarter is attributable to diligent collection efforts, which involve proactive negotiations with borrowers in financial difficulty, often leading to loan modifications or charge-offs.
Non-performing loans (“NPL”) at September 30, 2009 were $174.4 million (5.85 percent of total gross loans), compared to $167.3 million (5.3 percent of total gross loans) at June 30, 2009, $156.3 million (4.71 percent of total gross loans) at March 31, 2009, $121.9 million (3.62 percent of total gross loans) at December 31, 2008, and $111.9 million (3.34 percent of total gross loans) at September 30, 2008. The breakdown in third quarter 2009 NPLs was as follows: 10.4 percent were construction loans, 47.6 percent were C&I loans including owner/user business property loans, 30.3 percent were commercial real estate loans (“CRE”) loans, 9.5 percent were SBA loans, and 2.2 percent were consumer loans.
As of September 30, 2009, total non-performing assets of $201.6 million included OREO of $27.1 million compared to total non-performing assets of $201.3 million with OREO of $34.0 million at June 30, 2009, $157.5 million with OREO of $1.2 million at March 31, 2009, and $122.7 million with OREO of $823,000 at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2008, total non-performing assets were $114.9 million, which included OREO of $3.0 million. At September 30, 2009, OREO was $6.9 million lower, when compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to the sale of a golf course north of San Diego.
At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses was $124.8 million, or 4.19 percent of total gross loans (71.53 percent of total non-performing loans), compared to $71.0 million, or 2.11 percent of total gross loans (58.23 percent of total non-performing loans), at December 31, 2008, and $63.9 million, or 1.91 percent of total gross loans (57.16 percent of total non-performing loans), at September 30, 2008.
Capital Adequacy
On September 4, 2009, Hanmi received an investment of $6.95 million from Leading Investment & Securities Co. Ltd. IWL Partners LLC, an affiliate of Leading, is additionally preparing a separate definitive agreement that would result in a larger equity capital infusion. If completed as expected, the Korean investment will augment Hanmi’s capital reserves and, in conjunction with our program to deleverage the balance sheet, will enhance our ability to weather the current recession and emerge well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities as the economy recovers.
At September 30, 2009, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios were 7.05 percent, 8.40 percent and 9.69 percent, respectively, compared to 8.85 percent, 9.44 percent, and 10.71 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2008. The Bank’s ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to total tangible assets was 7.57 percent at September 30, 2009.
Deferred Tax Assets
During the third quarter of 2009, Hanmi established a valuation allowance of $44.9 million against its existing net deferred tax assets. The Company’s primary deferred tax assets relate to its allowance for loan losses and

- 4 -


 

impairment charges. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance must be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence (both positive and negative) related to the realization of the deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.
In conducting its regular quarterly evaluation, Hanmi made a determination to establish a valuation allowance at September 30, 2009 based primarily upon the existence of a three-year cumulative loss derived by combining the pre-tax income (loss) reported during the two most recent annual periods with management’s current projected results for the year ending 2009. This three-year cumulative loss position is primarily attributable to significant provisions for credit losses incurred during 2009. Although the Company’s current financial forecasts indicate that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to ultimately realize the existing deferred tax benefits, those forecasts were not considered to constitute sufficient positive evidence to overcome the observable negative evidence associated with the three-year cumulative loss position determined at September 30, 2009. Although the creation of the valuation allowance will increase tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and similarly reduce tangible book value, it will not have an effect on Hanmi’s cash flows. The remaining net deferred tax assets of $2.5 million will be reversed by NOL carryover during the 4th quarter of 2009.
