Indicate by check mark whether the registrant (1) has filed all reports
required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of

Indicate by check mark if disclosure of delinquent filers pursuant to Item

amendment to this Form 10-K.    (BOX)

As of April 24, 2002, the aggregate market value of voting stock held by
nonaffiliates of the registrant was approximately $166,455,728 (based upon the
last reported sales price of the Common Stock as reported by the Nasdaq
National Market). Shares of Common Stock held by each executive officer,
director, and shareholders with beneficial ownership of greater than 10% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the registrant and persons or entities known to the
registrant to be affiliates of the foregoing have been excluded in that such
persons may be deemed to be affiliates. This assumption regarding affiliate
status is not necessarily a conclusive determination for other purposes.

The number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Registrant outstanding as of April 24, 2002 was 5,869,848 shares.

Hawthorne Financial Corporation (Hawthorne or the Company) files this
Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K to include Part III, Item 10,
Item 11, Item 12 and Item 13.




PART III




ITEM 10. DIRECTORS OF THE REGISTRANT

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the nominees of
the Board, each of whom is currently a director of the Company. Each of the
directors of the Company is also a director of Hawthorne Savings, F.S.B. (the
Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In December 1995, the Company sold $27.0 million of investment units in a
private placement offering. Pursuant to an agreement entered into in connection
with the offering, each of the three largest purchasers of investment units is
entitled to recommend one person for nomination by the Board of Directors for
election as a director. Pursuant to these rights, Fort Pitt Fund, L.P.
recommended Harry F. Radcliffe, and Lee M. Bass recommended Anthony W.
Liberati. Also pursuant to its rights, one of the three largest purchasers of
investment units, Value Partners Ltd., recommended Gary W. Brummett, who became
a director in October 1999. The right of each of these purchasers to nominate
a director terminates at the time the purchaser no longer owns Warrants to
purchase 220,000 shares of Common Stock and/or shares of Common Stock acquired
upon the exercise of Warrants. On April 16, 2002, Value Partners Ltd. sold its
entire interest in the Company and, therefore, is no longer entitled to
nominate a director.

|(1) |  | As of April 24, 2002. Except as may be indicated in the footnotes to the
table and subject to applicable community property laws, each of such
persons has the sole voting and investment power with respect to the
shares owned. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act). Under this Rule, certain shares may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by more than one person (such as where persons share
voting power or investment power). In addition, shares are deemed to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the
shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the
date as of which information is provided; in computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to
include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only
such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the
percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the table above
does not necessarily reflect the persons actual voting power at any
particular date.

Change in Control Arrangements

On February 22, 2000, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
approved a change of control pay plan providing for the payment of
three years base salary and bonus, including an excise tax gross-up payment, for the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and providing for two years base salary and
bonus, including an excise tax gross-up payment, for all Executive Vice

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth as of April 24, 2002
certain information regarding the ownership of the
Companys Common Stock by (i) each person known by
the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than
5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock,
(ii) each executive officer named in the Summary
Compensation Table in this Proxy Statement, and
(iii) all of the Companys executive officers and
directors as a group. Except as may be indicated in
the footnotes to the table and subject to
applicable community property laws, each of such
persons has the sole voting and investment power
with respect to the shares owned. Beneficial
ownership has been determined in accordance with
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this Rule,
certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially
owned by more than one person (such as where
persons share voting power or investment power). In
addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially
owned by a person if the person has the right to
acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of
an option) within 60 days of the date as of which
information is provided; in computing the
percentage ownership of any person, the amount of
shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount
of shares beneficially owned by such person (and
only such person) by reason of these acquisition
rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding
shares of any person as shown in the following
table does not necessarily reflect the persons
actual voting power at any particular date.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with Chrisman & Company, Inc., a
firm that specializes in executive recruiting for the financial services
industry, pursuant to which the Company engaged Chrisman & Company to assist in
recruiting qualified candidates for the position of the Executive Vice
President-Chief Lending Officer. Mr. Timothy R. Chrisman, Chairman of the
Board of the Company, is the President and owner of Chrisman & Company. During
2001, the Company paid Chrisman & Company an aggregate of $87,000 pursuant to
this agreement. The Company believes that the terms of this agreement are no
less favorable to the Company than the Company could have arranged with an
unrelated third party.

In March 2002, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement
(Merger Agreement) to acquire First Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. and its
subsidiary, First Fidelity Investment and Loan. The acquisition, which is
subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, provides for the Company to
issue 1,266,555 shares of Hawthorne Financial Corporation stock and $37.4
million in cash for the 1,815,115 shares of First Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. stock
and 88,000 options outstanding. The Bass Group, the Fort Pitt Funds, and Value
Partners, Ltd. beneficially own 33.47%, 9.30% and 33.47%, respectively, of
First Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. The Bass Group and the Fort Pitt Funds
beneficially own more than 5% of the Companys voting securities and, at the
time the Merger Agreement was executed, Value Partners, Ltd. beneficially owned
more than 5% of the Companys voting securities. See Part IIIItem 12.
