Hanmi Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 to deregister certain securities previously registered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 18, 2000 (File No. 333-44090) (the “Prior Registration Statement”). A total of 5,430,742 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends, were registered in connection with the Company’s Year 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The Company is filing this post-effective amendment to the Prior Registration Statement in order to carry forward a total of 3,000,000 shares registered under the Prior Plan to the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”).

On May 23, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2007 Plan, which provides that upon stockholder approval of the 2007 Plan, no further shares may be issued under the Prior Plan (other than pursuant to previously outstanding grants). Of the 5,430,742 shares registered in connection with the Prior Plan, 3,000,000 remain available for grant. Pursuant to Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8 and Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance (December 1997) 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock registered under the Prior Registration Statement are hereby deregistered and carried forward to, and deemed covered by, the registration statement on Form S-8 filed on or about the date hereof in connection with the 2007 Plan (the “2007 Form S-8”).
