“Our second quarter financial results reflect solid operating performance, and we remain encouraged with the consistent levels of organic growth being delivered by Center Bank’s team,” said Jae Whan (J.W.) Yoo, president and chief executive officer. “Despite the difficult operating environment that continues to challenge both the ethnic and mainstream institutions in the loan and deposit market, we originated stronger-than-anticipated levels of loan production and benefited from a successful money market account campaign to boost deposit growth during the quarter.

“Importantly, these results were achieved during a time of renewed building and strengthening at Center Bank,” Yoo said. “Early in the quarter, we announced organizational changes, newly created positions and units, and new appointments, all to support our next phase of growth. To further enhance our growth, we organized our existing branches and loan production offices into four regional groups, each with a regional director to more effectively support and monitor loan production and to streamline productivity.

“Of course, we were thrilled with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s findings following our recent annual examination that culminated in the lifting of the memorandum of understanding,” Yoo said. “We also announced a share repurchase plan and effected a 25 percent increase in our quarterly dividend, both of which underpin our board’s absolute confidence in the long-term prospects of Center Bank and deep commitment to our shareholders. With the MOU now behind us, along with consistent financial performance and strong asset quality, we look forward to returning to an expansion mode and seeking strategic opportunities to further enhance the value of our organization for Center’s customers, employees and shareholders.”

2007 SECOND QUARTER

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses rose 11% to $19.2 million from $17.3 million in the 2006 second quarter, reflecting the growth in the company’s earning assets driven by continued strength in loan originations, offset in part by higher interest expense on borrowed funds. The company’s yield on interest-earning assets averaged 8.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with 8.02% in the 2007 first quarter and 7.88% in the 2006 second quarter. The net interest margin for the 2007 second quarter was 4.39%, equal to the rate in the immediately preceding first quarter, but down from 4.58% in the year-ago second quarter.

The company’s provision for loan losses decreased to $1.1 million in the 2007 second quarter, versus $1.3 million in the 2007 first quarter and $1.5 million in the prior-year’s second quarter. Allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 1.12%, the same level as in the immediately preceding first quarter.

Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2007 totaled $4.5 million, including a gain of $618,000 on a sale of unguaranteed portion of SBA loans. This compares with noninterest income of $7.7 million in the year-ago period, which included a one-time insurance settlement recognition of approximately $2.5 million, as well as a gain on sale of loans of $1.1 million.

Noninterest expense for the 2007 second quarter equaled $12.1 million, compared with $10.7 million a year earlier, principally reflecting increased costs for staff and occupancy over the prior-year period. In addition, the company posted higher professional fees in the current quarter versus the 2006 second quarter. In the year ago period, the company utilized the previously mentioned insurance settlement to recoup $230,000 of legal costs, which thereby reduced the overall expenses during the quarter. The company’s efficiency ratio was 51.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The company’s efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2006 benefited from the one-time insurance settlement and was 42.7% for the period. Excluding the insurance settlement, the company would have reported an efficiency ratio of 47.5% for the 2006 second quarter.

Net income for the 2007 second quarter totaled $6.4 million, equal to $0.39 per diluted share. This compares with $7.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago, or $6.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, excluding the one-time insurance settlement recognition.

Return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average equity (ROAE) equaled 1.39% and 17.27%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007. This compares with 1.29% and 16.43%, respectively, for the immediately preceding first quarter. In the year-ago second quarter, ROAA and ROAE were 1.87% and 25.16%, respectively, or 1.50% and 20.24% excluding the positive impact of the one-time insurance settlement.

FIRST HALF 2007

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased 11% to $37.8 million from $33.9 million in the comparable 2006 period, reflecting the growth in the company’s earning assets driven by continued strength in loan originations, offset in part by higher interest expense on borrowed funds. Yield on interest earning assets in the first half of 2007 rose to 8.06% from 7.71% in same period a year ago. The net interest margin year-to-date was 4.39%, compared with 4.49% for the first six months of 2006.

The company’s provision for loan losses totaled $2.4 million in the first half of 2007, compared with $1.8 million in the 2006 six-month period. Allowance for loan losses to gross loans was 1.12% for the first half of 2007 and 1.13% for the first half 2006.

Noninterest income totaled $8.1 million for first half of 2007, compared with $12.7 million in the 2006 six-month period. The decrease in noninterest income is primarily attributed to the $2.5 million one-time insurance settlement recognition, as well as a $1.2 million decline in the gain on sale of loans totaling $618,000 in the current year-to-date period, compared with $1.8 million in the first half of 2006.

Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2007 rose 4% to $23.7 million from $22.8 million a year earlier, reflecting increased costs for staff and occupancy over the prior-year period. The company’s efficiency ratio was 51.5% for the first half of 2007. This compares with an efficiency ratio of 48.8%, which included the net positive impact from the $2.5 million non-recurring insurance settlement offset partially by a one-time, BSA-related consulting expense of $1.5 million recorded in the 2006 first quarter. Excluding the insurance settlement, the company would have reported an efficiency ratio of 51.6% for the 2006 first half.

Net income for the first six months of 2007 totaled $12.3 million, or $0.74 per diluted share. This compares with $13.4 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in 2006 year-to-date period, or $12.0 million, equal to $0.71 per diluted share, excluding the one-time insurance settlement recognition.

Return on average assets and return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2007 equaled 1.33% and 16.86%, respectively, compared with 1.64% and 22.74% during the same period in 2006. Excluding one-time insurance settlement in the year-ago second quarter, ROAA and ROAE would have been 1.45% and 20.20%, respectively.

Gross loans at June 30, 2007 increased sequentially to $1.64 billion from $1.60 billion at March 31, 2007 and rose 5% from $1.56 billion at December 31, 2006. As of June 30, 2007, commercial real estate loans remained the largest component of the company’s total loan portfolio, increasing 4% over year-end 2006 and accounting for 66% of total loans. Real estate construction loans increased 35% by $15.4 million over December 31, 2006 and accounted for 4% of the company’s total loans at June 30, 2007. Commercial and industrial loans, including commercial, trade finance and SBA loans, represented 25% and consumer loans totaled 5% of the gross loan portfolio at June 30, 2007. Net loans as a percentage of total assets increased to 84.3% at June 30, 2007, compared with 83.4% at year-end 2006.

While Center Financial continues to maintain high levels of asset quality in its loan portfolio, it experienced slight deterioration during the 2007 second quarter with non-performing assets totaling $6.0 million, or 0.37% of total loans, at June 30, 2007, compared with $3.3 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at December 31, 2006. The company said the majority of the increase was related to two nonperforming guaranteed SBA loans outside of Southern California, which are currently under recovery. Net charge-offs year-to-date totaled $1.5 million. This compares with net charge-offs of $682,000 in the first six months of 2006, which reflected larger-than-usual levels of recoveries during the period. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007 increased to $18.3 million, reflecting the expansion of the company’s loan portfolio, and represented 1.12% of loans. This compares with allowance for losses of $17.4 million, or 1.12% of gross loans, at December 31, 2006.

Total deposits at June 30, 2007 equaled $1.59 billion, up 11% over $1.43 billion at December 31, 2006. Non-interest bearing deposits at the end of the 2007 second quarter totaled $393.1 million and accounted for 25% of total deposits, versus $388.2 million, or 27% of total deposits, at December 31, 2006. During the current second quarter, Center Bank initiated a money market account promotion, which drew in approximately $85 million in deposits. Time deposits at June 30, 2007 accounted for 54% of total deposits, compared with same level at year-end 2006. With the success of Center Bank’s deposit campaign during the quarter, the company’s loan-to-deposit ratio June 30, 2007 declined to 101.8% from 107.5% at December 31, 2006.

The average cost of interest-bearing deposits year-to-date increased to 4.74% from 4.28% for the 2006 first half, reflecting continual increases in the Fed Funds Rate by the Federal Reserve. The average cost of total deposits rose to 3.47% for the current six months, up from 3.17% in the same year-ago period.

Total assets at June 30, 2007 increased to $1.91 billion from $1.84 billion at December 31, 2006, reflecting growth in both the company’s loan and deposit portfolios. Average interest-earning assets totaled $1.74 billion for the 2007 six-month period, compared with $1.52 billion for the corresponding 2006 period.

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2007 increased 9% to $153.0 million from $140.7 million at December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007, Center Financial remained “well-capitalized” under all regulatory categories, with a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 9.85%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.96%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.03%.

Subsequent to the close of the 2007 second quarter, Center Bank opened a new Loan Production Office (LPO) in Northern California. Jung H. Cho, who joined Center Bank’s SBA department in August 2005, was promoted to manager of the Northern California LPO, located at 2620 Augustine Drive, Suite #185, Santa Clara, California 95054, telephone number (408) 988-9028. The company said it closed its Honolulu and Houston LPOs due to inactivity.
