Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

At a meeting on June 15, 2005, the Audit Committee of Center Financial Corporation (the “Company”), Los Angeles, California, dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) as the Company’s principal independent accountant. At the same meeting, the Audit Committee selected the accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP as the independent accountant for the Company’s 2005 fiscal year. The Company filed a report on Form 8-K concerning these events on June 22, 2005. At the time of that filing, the Company had given Deloitte & Touche the opportunity to furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities Exchange Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company’s expression of its views, or the respects in which it did not agree with the statements made by the Company in that Form 8-K. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, Deloitte & Touche furnished the Company with a copy of the aforementioned letter on June 24, 2005, which was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K/A which the Company filed on June 29,2005.

Subsequent to the filing of the 8-K and 8-K/A the Company became aware that one paragraph of the original 8-K had been inadvertently deleted. This filing is therefore restating the remainder of the 8-K in its entirety with the missing paragraph (the next following paragraph) included.

Deloitte & Touche audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Deloitte & Touche’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the last two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 also included a paragraph relating to the audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which contained an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness which is described below.

In the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and from January 1, 2005 to the date of this report, there have been no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Deloitte’s satisfaction, would have caused Deloitte & Touche to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such year, and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except as set forth below:

In the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2005, Management’s Report on the Internal Control over Financial Reporting stated, as of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, due to an internal control deficiency that constituted a “material weakness,” as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Accounting Standard No. 2. The weakness concerned the interpretation and implementation of various complex accounting principles, primarily in the area of non-routine business transactions, and resulted from the fact that the Company needed additional personnel, training and outside consulting expertise with respect to the application of some of these more complex accounting principles to its financial statements.

The Company has given permission to Deloitte & Touche to respond fully to the inquiries of the successor auditor.

The Company has requested that Deloitte & Touche review the disclosure in this Report on Form 8-K/A, and Deloitte & Touche has been given the opportunity to furnish the Company with a copy of its letter addressed to the Securities Exchange Commission containing any new information, clarification of the Company’s expression of its views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made by the Company herein. Such letter is filed as an exhibit to this Report.

The Company engaged Grant Thornton as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of the date set forth above. Prior to such date, the Company did not consult with Grant Thornton regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Grant Thornton, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
