NOTE 1.  HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION

         As of March 14, 2000, Hanmi Financial Corporation ("Hanmi") was
incorporated as a bank holding company, which owned Hanmi Bank (the "Bank").
The new corporate structure will permit Hanmi and the Bank greater
flexibility in terms of operations, expansion and diversification. Shortly
after the incorporation, Hanmi registered its common stock with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the terms of a
Plan and Agreement of Merger and Reorganization. The registration statement
was declared effective on May 4, 2000. At the same time, Hanmi registered its
common stock with the SEC pursuant to section 12(g) and the Security Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The reorganization was consummated with the approval
obtained at the shareholder's meeting on May 31, 2000. In the reorganization,
the Bank continued its operations as presently conducted under its management.

NOTE 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of
Hanmi Financial Corporation and its subsidiary (the "Company") reflect all the
material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim period ended September 30, 2000 but are not necessarily indicative of
the results which will be reported for the entire year. In the opinion of
management, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period's presentation
to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 3.  CHANGE IN EQUITY

         On February 16, 2000, the Bank declared an 11% stock dividend payable
on April 3, 2000 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 1,
2000. The shares and per share data have been retroactively restated to reflect
the 11% year 2000 stock dividend. On May 3, 1999, the Bank paid an 11% stock
dividend to shareholders of record on April 26, 1999. The shares and per share
data for the 1999 dividend have been retroactively restated to reflect the 11 %
dividend.

         On August 16, 2000 the Company granted stock bonus to employee and
on September 15, 2000. 20,271 shares were issued at $13.75. The number of
outstanding shares and per share data as of September 30, 2000 reflect this
transaction.

NOTE 4.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

         On June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". In June 2000, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 138, which amends certain provisions of SFAS 133 to clarify four areas
causing difficulties in implementation. The amendment included expanding the
normal purchase and sale exemption for supply contracts, permitting the
offsetting of certain intercompany foreign currency derivatives and thus
reducing the number of third party derivatives, permitting hedge accounting for
foreign-currency denominated assets and liabilities, and redefining interest
rate risk to reduce sources of ineffectiveness. The Company will adopt SFAS 133
and the corresponding amendments under SFAS 138 on January 1, 2001. In
management's opinion, implementation of SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, is not
expected to have a material impact to the overall financial position or results
of operations of the Company.

         On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB" or the "Bulletin") 101, Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements. The Bulletin provided views in applying generally accepted
accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Bulletin
further emphasized that revenue should not be recognized until it is realized or
realizable and earned. SAB 101, as amended by SAB 101A and 101B, is to be
implemented by the Company no later than the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1999. In management's opinion, implementation
of SAB 101 will not have a material impact to the overall financial position or
results of operations of the Company.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

         Certain matters discussed under this caption may constitute
forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There can be no assurance that the
results described or implied in such forward-looking statements will, in fact,
be achieved and actual results, performance, and achievements could differ
materially because the business of the Company involves inherent risks and
uncertainties. Risks and uncertainties include possible future deteriorating
economic conditions in the Company's areas of operation; interest rate risk
associated with volatile interest rates and related asset-liability matching
risk; liquidity risks; risk of significant non-earning assets, and net credit
losses that could occur, particularly in times of weak economic conditions or
times of rising interest rates; risks of available for sale securities declining
significantly in value as interest rates rise; and regulatory risks associated
with the variety of current and future regulations to which the Company is
subject. For additional information concerning these factors, see "Risk Factors"
contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4.

RESULTS OF OPERATION

         For the third quarter of 2000, the Company reported net income of $3.8
million or $0.52 per diluted share compared to $3.2 million or $0.48 per diluted
share for the same quarter of 1999, representing an increase of $.6 million or
20.14%. The increase in 2000 third quarter net income was primarily attributable
to a $1.6 million increase in net interest income before provision for loan
losses.

         The annualized return on average assets was 1.80% for the third
quarter of 2000 compared to a return on average assets of 1.74% for the same
quarter of 1999, an increase of 0.06%. The annualized return on average
equity was 19.62% for the third quarter of 2000, compared to a return on
average equity of 19.64% for the same quarter in 1999, a decrease of 0.02%.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company reported
net income of $11.3 million or $1.52 per basic and $1.51 per diluted common
share, compared with $9.3 million or $1.40 per basic and $1.39 per diluted
common share for the same period of 1999. This represents an increase of $2.0
million or 20.9%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         The principal component of the Company's earnings is net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans
and investments and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds. When
net interest income is expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning
assets, the result is the net interest margin. The net interest spread is the
yield on average interest-earning assets less the average cost of
interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds.

         For the third quarter of 2000, net interest income before provision for
loan losses increased to $10.4 million. Comparing with $8.7 million for the
corresponding quarter of 1999, this represented an increase of $1.7 million or
18.9%.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net interest income
before provision for loan losses increased to $30.1 million, compared with $24.5
million a year ago. This represented

                                       9
<PAGE>

an increase of $5.6 million or 23.0%. The increase in net interest income before
provision for loan losses was substantially attributable to an increase of
$160.8 million in average interest-earning assets, from $596.5 million to $757.3
million, which represented an increase of 27.0%.

         The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 9.04% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, from a yield of 8.51% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the
Bank's loan portfolio, which has a higher yield than investment securities, and
a result of three consecutive 25 basis point interest rate raise by the Feral
Reserve Board in the last quarter of 1999 and first two quarters of year 2000.
Approximately 70.8% of Company's interest earning assets were comprised of loans
at September 30, 2000, compare to 62.7% at September 30, 1999.

         For the third quarter of 2000, net interest expenses increased to $8.4
million. Comparing with $4.7 million for the corresponding quarter of 1999, this
represented an increase of $3.7 million or 78.1%.

         The Company's interest expense on deposits for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 increased by approximately $7.6 million or 56.0% to $21.2
million from $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase reflected an increase in the average volume of interest-bearing
liabilities and interest rates paid to depositors. Average interest-bearing
liabilities were $521.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
which represented an increase of $109.2 million or 26.5% from average
interest-bearing liabilities of $412.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased
to 5.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to a cost of
4.39% for the same period of 1999. Overall interest on deposits increased due to
an increase in market rates and also due to an increase in competition among our

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         Non-interest income includes revenues earned from sources other than
interest income. It is primarily comprised of service charges and fees on
deposit accounts, other service charges and fees, including fees received from
issuing the letter of credit for international trade finance, and gain on sale
of SBA loans and mortgage loans.

         For the third quarter of 2000, non-interest income increased
approximately by $500,000 or 15.6% to $3.7 million over the same period in
1999. The increase was primarily attributable to increase in service charges
and fees on deposit account due to increase in volume. Service charges and
fees on deposit account increased by $197,000 or 9.7% during the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Premiums
received from the sale of SBA loans slightly increased over the same quarter
of 1999 and these increased premiums are expected to extend through the year
2000 as interest rates continue in an upward trend.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, non-interest income
totaled $10.7 million compare with $9.5 million for the same period a year ago.
The increase of $1.2 million was attributable to a combination of a $434,000
increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts, $455,000 increase in
other service charges and fees, and $343,000 increase in gain on sale of SBA
loans. The fee income generated by trade financing transactions slightly
increased over the same period a year ago due to growing activity in
international trade as Asian countries recovered from the economic crisis.

         The breakdown of non-interest income by category is reflected below:

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

         Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased
approximately $367,000 or 5.6% to $6.9 million from $6.6 million for the same
period in 1999. The increase was attributable to a combination of internal
growth and change in organization structure. Salaries and employee benefits were
up by $454,000 primarily due to increase in monthly bonus accrual to reflect
current year's performance. Occupancy and equipment expenses were up by
$225,000, due to full quarter operation of new branch in San Diego and expansion
of Cerritos branch space.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, non-interest expenses
totaled $19.9 million compare with $17.8 million for the same period a year ago.
Salaries and employee benefits expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, increased $1.2 million or 14.1% to $10.1 million from $8.9 million for the
same period in 1999. This increase was primarily due to expenses associated with
annual salary adjustments and addition of new employees due to the Company's
recent growth and expansion. The breakdown on non-interest expenses are

LOAN PORTFOLIO

         The Company carries all loans at face amount, less payments collected,
net of deferred loan origination fees and costs and the allowance for possible
loan losses. Interest on all loans is accrued daily on a simple interest basis.
Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status, accrual of interest is discontinued
and previously accrued interest is reversed. Loans are placed on a non-accrual
status when principal and interest on a loan is past due 90 days or more, unless
a loan is both well-secured and in process of collection.

         The Company's gross loans were $609.0 million at September 30, 2000.
This represented an increase of $122.1 million or 25.1% over gross loans of
$486.8 million at December 31, 1999.

         Total commercial loans, comprised of domestic commercial,
trade-financing loans, and SBA commercial loans, at September 30, 2000, were
approximately $375.2 million, which represented an increase of $96.2 million or
34.5% from $279.0 million at December 31, 1999. Trade financing loans, at
September 30, 2000, totaled $28.4 million, which represented an increase of
$10.3 million or 56.9% from $18.1 million at December 31, 1999. This increase is
due to the active trade financing as the Asian economy recovered from the
economic crisis in late 1998. Small Business Administration loans (SBA loans)
increased $15.0 million or 45.9% during the last three-quarter of year 2000 to
$47.7 million from $32.7 million at December 31, 1999.

         At September 30, 2000, the Company's nonperforming assets (nonaccrual
loans, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest, restructured
loans, and other real estate owned) increased to $7.7 million from $4.1 million
last year. The reason was two line of credits, total amount of $4 million,
were classified as past due status due to delayed renewal of line of credit.
Those lines were renewed in October, and cleared from past due status. Excluding
this occurrence, total non-performing assets were about the same level as of
December 31, 1999.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The allowance for loan losses represents the amounts that the Company
has set aside for the specific purpose of absorbing losses that may occur in the
Company's loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is an expense charged
against operating income and added to the allowance for loan losses. Management
of the Company continues to carefully monitor the allowance for loan losses in
relation to the size of the Company's loan portfolio and known risks or problem
loans.

         At September 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses increased to
$11.6 million, which represented the increase of $953,000 or 9.0% increase,
compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses
to gross loans ratio was 1.90% at September 30, 2000, which is slightly lower
than 2.18% at December 31, 1999, but well above the average ratio of the peer
banks based on asset size. The Company provided additional reserve of $1.6
million during the first three quarters of 2000, and the management believes
the level of allowance as of September 30, 2000 is adequate to absorb losses
inherent in the loan portfolio.

total demand deposits of $193.2 million at December 31, 1999.

         Time deposits over $100,000 totaled $191.4 million, which accounted
22.5% of total deposit, at September 30, 2000. This represented an increase of
approximately $67.9 million or 55.0%, compared to $123.5 million at December 31,
1999. Time deposit under $100,000 totaled $265.3 million, which accounted 31.2%
of total deposit, at September 30, 2000. This represented an increase of
approximately $74.6 million or 39.1%, compared to $190.7 million at December 31,
1999.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL

         In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, the Company conducts an
ongoing assessment of projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with
projected increases in assets and levels of risk. Management considers, among
other things, on an ongoing basis, cash generated from operations, access to
capital from financial markets or the issuance of additional securities,
including common stock or notes, to meet the Company's capital needs. Total
shareholders' equity was $80.3 million at September 30, 2000. This represented
an increase of $12.5 million or 18.4% over total shareholders' equity of $67.8
million at December 31, 1999.

         The federal banking agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying
total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1
capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4%. In addition to the risk-based guidelines,
federal banking regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum
amount of Tier 1 capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio. For
a banking organization rated in the highest of the five categories used by
regulators to rate banking organizations, the minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1
capital to total assets must be 3%. In addition to these uniform risk-based
capital guidelines and leverage ratios that apply across the industry, the
regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements
for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines
and ratios.

         The following table presents the amounts of regulatory capital and the
capital ratio for the Company, compared to regulatory capital requirements for
adequacy purposes as of September 30, 2000.

ITEM 3   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

GENERAL

         Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values, or
to future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial
instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices,
equity prices, and other market changes that affect market risk sensitive
instruments. Market risk is attributed to all market risk sensitive financial
instruments, including securities, loans, deposits, and borrowings, as well as
derivative instruments. Our exposure to market risk is a function of our asset
and liability management activities and other roles as a financial intermediary
in customer-related transactions. The objective of market risk management is to
avoid excessive exposure of our earnings and equity to loss and to reduce the
volatility inherent in certain financial instruments.

         The management of market risk is governed by policies reviewed and
approved annually by the Board of Directors ("Board"). The Board delegates
responsibility for market risk management to the Asset and Liability Management
Committee (ALCO), which is composed of the Company's senior executives and other
designated officers. ALCO makes changes in the mix of assets and liabilities.
ALCO also reviews and approves market risk-management programs and market risk
limits

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

         Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from the
Company's inability to meet its obligations when they come due without incurring
unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk includes the ability to manage unplanned
decreases or changes in funding sources and to recognize or address changes in
market conditions that affect the Company's ability to liquidate assets quickly
and with a minimum loss of value. Factors considered in liquidity risk
management are stability of the deposit base, marketability, maturity, and
pledging of investments, and demand for credit.

         In general, the Company manages liquidity risk daily by controlling
the level of federal funds and the use of funds provided by the cash flow
from the investment portfolio and scheduled loan repayment. To meet
unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks,
and the Federal Reserve Bank. The sale of securities available-for-sale also
can also serve as a contingent source of funds. Increases in deposit rates
are considered a last resort as a means of raising funds to increase
liquidity.

         The Company's liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents,
interest-bearing deposits in corresponding banks and securities
available-for-sale. The aggregate of these assets totaled $266.0 million at
September 30, 2000 compared to $ 168.6 million at December 31, 1999.

         Because the primary sources and uses of funds are loans and deposits,
the relationship between gross loans and deposits provides a useful measure of
the Company's liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans to deposits is
to 100%, the more reliant the Company relies on its loan portfolio to provide
for short- term liquidity needs. Because repayment of loans tends to be less
predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the
higher the

                                       19
<PAGE>

loan to deposit ratio, the less liquid are the Company's assets. For
the first nine months of 2000, the Company's loan to deposit ratio averaged
73.43%, compared to an average ratio of 58.26% for the same period last year.

         The Company is engaged in asset and liability management activities
with the objective of reducing adverse changes in earnings as a result of
changes in interest rates. The management monitors the interest rate risk
relates to the timing and magnitude of the repricing of assets compared to
liabilities and has the control of risks associated with movements in
interest rates.

         The ALCO meets monthly to monitor the interest rate risk and may direct
changes in the composition of the balance sheet. The company's balance sheet is
inherently asset sensitive, which means that assets generally reprice more often
than liabilities. Since an asset-sensitive balance sheet tends to reduce net
interest income when interest rates decline and to increase net interest income
when interest rate rise, careful forecast of interest rate and security
portfolio changes are used to manage the interest rate risk.

         The Company currently uses the interest rate gap to measure interest
rate risk. It is the difference between interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within specified periods. The
gap analysis presented below indicates that assets that are rate sensitive
within one year exceeded liabilities within that same period by $10.7 million at
September 30, 2000. The following table shows the Company's gap position as of
September 30, 2000.
