SCHEDULE 13D
 
This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 8, 2010 (the "Schedule 13D"), by Mr. Mu Hak You and the GWI Entities.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D.  This Amendment No. 1 is filed by the GWI Entities in accordance with Rule 13d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and it shall refer only to the information that has materially changed since the filing of the Schedule 13D.
 
 
 
Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
 
 
GWI and GWI Private initially acquired the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes.
 
 
On January 28, 2010, GWI presented a letter ("Letter of Interest") to Mr. Joseph K. Rho, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, informing Mr. Rho of GWI's interest in exploring an acquisition of equity interests in the Issuer by GWI or one of its affiliates.  In the Letter of Interest, GWI proposed making an unspecified investment in the Issuer that would result in GWI holding a majority interest in the Issuer ("Proposed Transaction").  The Letter of Interest stated, among other things, that any formal proposal with respect to the Proposed Transaction would be subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and the valuation of GWI's proposed investment would be based on the book value of the Issuer adjusted for mark-to-market valuation based on a third-party review of the Issuer's loan portfolio.  The Letter of Interest requested an opportunity to discuss the Proposed Transaction with the Issuer and its advisors at the Issuer's earliest convenience and urged the Issuer not to take any action that might preclude GWI from submitting a formal, competitive offer that could offer an alternative approach which could maximize shareholder value.
 
 
GWI and the Issuer executed a Confidentiality Agreement, dated February 5, 2010, following which GWI and its advisors engaged in an extensive due diligence process in connection with the Proposed Transaction, including in person meetings with the Issuer and its advisors and review of documents.  In addition, advisors for GWI and the Issuer engaged in preliminary discussions regarding the possible submission of a formal offer by GWI with respect to the Proposed Transaction.  Following completion of GWI's due diligence and preliminary discussions between the parties, on March 15, 2010, GWI sent a letter to Mr. Joseph K. Rho withdrawing its interest in the Proposed Transaction.  As a result of the withdrawal of GWI's interest in the Proposed Transaction, Mr. Mu Hak You and the GWI Entities no longer intend to acquire additional securities of the Issuer and, as permitted by law, may dispose of some or all of their shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in privately negotiated transactions to third parties or otherwise depending on various factors, including the Issuer's financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities and credit markets and general economic and industry conditions.

Dear Mr. Rho:
 
On behalf of GWI Enterprise Ltd. ("GWI"), I am submitting this letter in order to notify you that GWI (i) is withdrawing its interest in acquiring a controlling interest in Hanmi Financial Corporation ("Hanmi") and (ii) will not be submitting an indicative bid in respect of such a transaction.  Based on previous representations and commitments to Hanmi’s primary federal and state banking regulators, GWI will be notifying representatives of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the California Division of Financial Institutions that it has withdrawn its interest in Hanmi.  GWI also intends to amend and update its Schedule 13D to reflect this decision.
 
As a major shareholder of Hanmi, GWI continues to believe that Hanmi has a compelling community banking platform and wishes Hanmi success in its efforts to satisfy the requirements of its regulatory orders in an expedited fashion.
 
   
Sincerely yours,
     
   
GWI Enterprise Ltd.
