with the Commission on March&nbsp;16, 2011 and the Form 10Q for the quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2011 which we filed with the Commission on August&nbsp;9, 2011. For your reference, the file number is 000-30421. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">Unfortunately, due to the transitioning of certain members of senior management that recently occurred at Hanmi Financial Corporation, including the change
in our CFO, the original correspondence was emailed to the previous CFO, and we did not become aware of your correspondence until today. For this reason, we would graciously like to request a fifteen business day extension, so that we can have
adequate time to address and respond to your inquiries. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Arial Narrow" SIZE="2">If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 213-368-3200.
