Item 8.01  Other Events.

On August 21, 2007, a panel of arbitrators for the American Arbitration
Association issued an interim award in the matter of an arbitration between Nara
Bancorp, Inc. and Nara Bank ("Nara"), Claimant, and Benjamin B. Hong, Nara
Bancorp, Inc.'s former Chief Executive Officer, Respondent. Nara had sought
recovery from Mr. Hong of certain damages it incurred and other statutory claims
related to the 2005 restatement of its financial statements and related events.
Mr. Hong had sought a bonus payment from Nara relating to his employment as
interim Chief Executive Officer during 2004.

The arbitrators denied Nara's claims and ruled in favor of Mr. Hong, awarding
him the sum of $742,201.00 (plus 10% interest per annum until paid) -- the
amount of a bonus accrued during Mr. Hong's employment as interim Chief
Executive Officer during 2004. The arbitrators also awarded Mr. Hong his
attorney fees and costs in the arbitration.

Nara already accrued the bonus payment during fiscal 2005. Nara expects to
accrue a liability in the third quarter of 2007 of approximately $178,939.00 for
interest due on this amount and for estimated attorney's fees and costs. Final
determination by the arbitrators regarding attorney's fees and costs is expected
in the fourth quarter of 2007.
