PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

General

Manhattan Bancorp ("Bancorp") is a bank holding company which was incorporated in August 2006, in order to acquire Bank of Manhattan,
N.A. (the "Bank"), a de novo bank which it acquired on August 14, 2007. The Bank is a nationally-chartered banking association organized under the laws of the United States, which commenced its
banking operations on August 15, 2007. Bancorp operates primarily through the Bank, and the investment in the Bank is its principal asset. The Bank is located in El Segundo, California and at
December 31, 2009 had $152 million in assets, $79 million in net loans receivable and $116 million in deposits. On October 1, 2009, Manhattan Bancorp, through its
wholly owned subsidiary, MBFS Holdings, Inc. ("MBFS"), acquired a 70% interest in Banc of Manhattan Capital, LLC, ("BOMC") a full-service mortgage-centric broker/dealer. The
gross investment in MBFS was $1 million as of December 31, 2009. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Form 10-K to the "Company," "we" or "us"
refers to Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries, the Bank and MBFS and its subsidiary.

The
Company's primary goal continues to be to operate and grow the Bank into a profitable community-oriented financial institution serving primarily entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized
businesses, business service professionals and owners/owner-users of commercial, industrial, and multi-family properties in the Los Angeles County market area, with particular emphasis on the South
Bay, Westside and Los Angeles airport areas of Los Angeles County in Southern California.

The
Company is growing by promoting relationship-based products and services to meet the banking needs of its defined customer base. We presently offer a full range of deposit products
including non-interest bearing demand deposit and interest bearing checking accounts, regular savings accounts and certificates of deposit. We offer cash management services to our
commercial
checking account customers. To all of our customers we offer, among other things, wire transfers, electronic bill payment and overdraft protection.

From
the deposit funds generated and our capital proceeds, the Company has originated loans within the Bank's policy guidelines and made limited investments. Initially a large portion of
these loans have been secured by commercial real estate. However, the Company does offer both secured and unsecured commercial term loans and lines of credit, and construction loans for individual and
commercial properties. To a much lesser extent, the Company has made home equity and other consumer loans. The Company has not, nor is it its intent, to originate loans that are deemed
sub-prime credits or predatory lending.

The
Company offers Internet banking services which allow customers to review their account information, issue stop payment orders, pay bills, transfer funds, order checks and inquire
about credit

products
electronically. We offer qualified customers the ability to process deposits through remote item capture from their place of business.

Through
the Company's affiliation with BOMC, services which generate fee-based income have been created for the benefit of Company shareholders.

Bancorp
is registered as a bank holding company with the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") and is subject to examination and regulation as a holding company by the FRB. The Bank is
subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of Currency ("the "OCC"). As a nationally chartered financial institution, the Bank is a member of the Federal
Reserve Bank. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") up to the maximum limits thereof.

Competition and Geographic Market Area

The relevant geographical market for the Bank is Los Angeles County. Utilizing the El Segundo headquarters as the hub, the Bank's
business development officers serve existing and solicit prospective customers from outlying areas, such as the South Bay, Westside, downtown Los Angeles, South Los Angeles and other surrounding
communities. As a business-oriented bank, most of the day-to-day banking activity is conducted through the use of in branch banking and remote deposit capture devices.

The
banking business in California generally, and specifically in the market area which we serve, is highly competitive with respect to virtually all products and services and has become
increasingly so in recent years. The industry continues to consolidate, directly affected by the more recent economic downturn, and strong, unregulated competitors continue to enter the banking
markets with focused products targeted at highly profitable customer segments. Many largely unregulated competitors are able to compete across geographic boundaries and provide customers increasing
access to meaningful alternatives to banking services in nearly all significant products. These competitive trends are likely to continue. We compete for loans and deposits with other commercial
banks, as well as with savings and loan associations, credit unions, thrift and loan companies, and other financial and non-financial institutions. With respect to commercial bank
competitors, the business is largely dominated by a relatively small number of major banks with many offices operating over a wide geographical area. These banks have, among other advantages, the
ability to finance wide-ranging and effective advertising campaigns and to allocate their investment resources to regions of highest yield and demand. Many of the major banks operating in
the area offer certain services which we do not offer directly (but some of which we offer through correspondent institutions). By virtue of their greater total capitalization, such banks also have
substantially higher lending limits.

In
addition to other banks, our competitors include savings institutions, credit unions, and numerous non-banking institutions, such as finance companies, leasing companies,
insurance companies, brokerage firms, and investment banking firms. In recent years, increased competition has also developed from specialized finance and non-finance companies that offer
money market and mutual funds, wholesale finance, credit card, and other consumer finance services, including on-line banking services and personal finance software. Strong competition for
deposit and loan products affects the rates of those products as well as the terms on which they are offered to customers. Mergers between financial institutions have placed additional pressure on
banks within the industry to streamline their operations, reduce expenses, and increase revenues to remain competitive. Competition has also intensified due to federal and state interstate banking
laws, which permit banking organizations to expand geographically, and the California market has, over recent years, been particularly attractive to out-of-state institutions.

Technological
innovation has also resulted in increased competition in the financial services market. Such innovation has, for example, made it possible for non-depository
institutions to offer customers automated transfer payment services that previously had been considered traditional banking products. In addition, many customers now expect a choice of several
delivery systems and channels, including

3

Table of Contents

telephone,
mail, home computer, ATMs, self-service branches, and/or in-store branches. Further, the rise of "internet banking" may require us to compete with remote entities
soliciting customers in our market areas via web-based advertising and product delivery.

In
order to compete effectively, we have created a sales and service culture that combines the experience of our senior officers, which includes the extensive sales orientation of larger
financial institutions, with the commitment to service and a focus on the individual needs of our business customers which is found at the best community banks. We seek to provide a level of service
and decision-making responsiveness not generally offered by larger institutions while at the same time providing management sophistication not universally found at local community banks.

As
noted, our primary service area consists of the County of Los Angeles, with a particular emphasis on the Westside, South Bay and Los Angeles airport areas. As in most major U.S.
cities, large banks dominate the banking industry in Los Angeles County. However, rather than these large financial institutions, we believe our primary competitors for the small and medium-sized
business customer will be the community banks that can provide the service and responsiveness attractive to small and medium-sized business customers.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company including all subsidiaries had 48 full-time employees.

Supervision and Regulation

General

The Company, the Bank, MBFS and its subsidiary, BOMC, are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. Set forth below is a
summary description of certain laws that relate to the regulation of the Company and the various affiliated companies. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.

The Company

The Company is a bank-holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Bank
Holding Company Act"), and is registered as such with, and subject to the supervision of, the Federal Reserve Board. The Company is required to file with Federal Reserve Board quarterly and annual
reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Bank may require pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act. The Federal Reserve Board may conduct examinations of the bank holding
companies and their subsidiaries.

The
Company is required to obtain the approval of the FRB before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of the voting shares of any
bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition of shares, the Company would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. Prior approval of the Federal Reserve Bank is also required
for the merger or consolidation of the Company and other bank holding company.

The
Company is prohibited by the Bank Holding Company Act, except in certain statutorily prescribed instances, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of
the outstanding voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging, directly or indirectly, in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling
banks, or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. However, the Company may, subject to the prior approval of the FRB, engage in any, or acquire shares of companies engaged in, activities that are
deemed by the FRB to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Table of Contents

The
FRB may require that the Company terminate an activity or terminate control of or liquidate or divest subsidiaries or affiliates when the FRB determines that the activity of the
control or the subsidiary or affiliates constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any of its banking subsidiaries. The FRB also has the authority to regulate
provisions of certain bank holding company debt, including authority to impose interest ceilings and reserve requirements on such debt. Under certain circumstances, the Company must file written
notice and obtain approval from the FRB prior to purchasing or redeeming its equity securities.

Under
the FRB's regulations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an
unsafe and unsound manner. In addition, it is the FRB's policy that in serving as a source of strength to its
subsidiary banks, a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and
should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to
serve as a source of strength to its subsidiaries will generally be considered by the FRB to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the FRB's regulations or both.

The
Bancorp and the Bank are deemed to be affiliates of each other within the meaning set forth in the Federal Reserve Act and are subject to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act. This means, for example, that there are limitations on loans by the Bank to affiliates, and that all affiliate transactions must satisfy certain limitations and otherwise be on terms and
conditions at least as favorable to the Bank as would be available from non-affiliates.

The
Company and the Bank are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of
services. For example, with certain exceptions, neither the Company nor the Bank may condition an extension of credit to a customer on either (1) a requirement that the customer obtain
additional services provided by us or (2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor.

BOMC,
our brokerage subsidiary, is regulated by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and state securities regulators and may be subject to laws and regulations of the
federal government and the various states in which it conducts business.

The
Company is subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended generally applicable to publicly held companies, under
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Companies which file a registration statement under the Securities Act are required under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least a
12-month period after the effectiveness of such registration statement to file periodic quarterly and annual reports under the Securities Act. If and when the Bancorp has more than 500
shareholders of record, it will be required to register its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act at which time its filing of periodic
reports, as well as certain other reporting obligations, will become mandatory.

The Bank

As a national banking association, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OCC. It is also a member of
the Federal Reserve System and, as such, is subject to applicable provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. In addition, the deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC to a maximum allowed by the FDIC. On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") temporarily
increased the limit of the FDIC's insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013. In addition the FDIC through its Transaction Account Guarantee Program
("TAGP") fully guarantees non-interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts regardless of the amount until June 30, 2010. For the protection, the Bank pays a quarterly assessment of

participants
in this program to the FDIC, and must adhere to the rules and regulations of the FDIC pertaining to deposit insurance and other matters. The regulations of those agencies govern most
aspects of the Bank's business, including the making of periodic reports by the Bank, and the Bank's declaring of dividends, investments, loans, borrowings, capital requirements, certain
check-clearing activities, branching, mergers and acquisitions, reserves against deposits, the issuance of securities and numerous other areas.

The
earnings potential and growth of the Bank is largely dependent on its ability to maintain a favorable differential or "spread" between the yield on its interest-earning assets and
the rate paid on its deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, the Bank's performance has been and will continue to be influenced by general economic conditions, both domestic and
foreign, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, and the policies of the regulatory agencies, particularly the FRB. The FRB implements national monetary policies (such as seeking
to curb inflation and combat recession) by its open-market operations in United States Government securities, by adjusting the required level of reserves for financial institutions subject
to its reserve requirements and by varying the discount rate applicable to borrowings by banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System. The actions of the FRB in these areas influence the
growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans and deposits. The nature and impact of any future changes in monetary policies cannot be fully predicted.

Capital Adequacy Requirements

The Bank is subject to the regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency governing capital adequacy. Those regulations incorporate
both risk-based and leverage capital requirements. The Comptroller has established risk-based and leverage capital
guidelines for the banks it regulates, which set total capital requirements and define capital in terms of "core capital elements," or Tier 1 capital and "supplemental capital elements," or
Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as the sum of the core capital elements less goodwill and certain intangibles. The following items are defined as core capital
elements: (i) common stockholders' equity; (ii) qualifying non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus; and (iii) minority interests in the equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Supplementary capital elements include: (i) allowance for loan and lease losses (but not more than 1.25% of an institution's risk-weighted
assets); (ii) perpetual preferred stock and related surplus not qualifying as core capital; (iii) hybrid capital instruments, perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt instruments;
and (iv) term subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock and related surplus. The maximum amount of supplemental capital elements which qualifies as Tier 2
capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 capital, net of goodwill.

The
Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.0% ("Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio"), at least
one-half of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital ("Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio"). Risk-based capital ratios are calculated to provide a
measure of capital that reflects the degree of risk associated with a banking organization's operations for both transactions reported on the balance sheet as assets, and transactions, such as letters
of credit and recourse arrangements, which are recorded as off-balance sheet items. Under the risk-based capital guidelines, the nominal dollar amounts of assets and
credit-equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items are multiplied by one of several risk adjustment percentages, which range from 0% for assets with low credit risk, such as certain U.
S. Treasury securities, to 100% for assets with relatively high credit risk, such as business loans. As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, the Bank's Total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 41.9% and 27.0% respectively, and its Tier 1 Risked-Based Capital Ratio was 40.7% and 25.8% respectively.

The
risk-based capital standards also take into account concentrations of credit and the risks of "non-traditional" activities (those that have not customarily
been part of the banking business). The regulations require institutions with high or inordinate levels of risk to operate with higher minimum

Table of Contents

capital
standards, and authorize the regulators to review an institution's management of such risks in assessing an institution's capital adequacy.

The
risk-based capital regulations also include exposure to interest rate risk as a factor that the regulators will consider in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy, although
interest rate risk does not impact the calculation of a bank's risk-based capital ratios. Interest rate risk is the exposure of a bank's current and future earnings and equity capital
arising from adverse movements in interest rates. While interest risk is inherent in a bank's role as financial intermediary, it introduces volatility to bank earnings and to the economic value of the
bank.

Banks
are also required to maintain a leverage capital ratio designed to supplement the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks that have received the highest rating of the five
categories used by regulators to rate banks and are not anticipating or experiencing any significant growth must maintain a ratio of Tier 1 capital (net of all intangibles) to adjusted total
assets ("Leverage Capital Ratio") of at least 3%. All other institutions are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum for a minimum of 4% to 5%.
Pursuant to federal regulations, banks must maintain capital levels commensurate with the level of risk to which they are exposed, including the volume and severity of problem loans, and federal
regulators may set higher capital requirements when a bank's particular circumstances warrant. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Bank's Leverage Capital Ratio was 18.9%
and 34.2% respectively.

Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

Federal law requires each federal banking agency to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of insured financial
institutions, including but not limited to those that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. The federal banking agencies have by regulation defined the following five capital
categories: "well capitalized" (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 6%; and Leverage Capital Ratio of 5%); "adequately capitalized"
(Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 4%; and Leverage Capital Ratio of 4%) (or 3% if the institution receives the highest rating
from its primary regulator); "undercapitalized" (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 8%; Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 4%; or Leverage Capital
Ratio of less than 4%) (or 3% if the institution receives the highest rating from its primary regulator); "significantly undercapitalized" (Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of less than 6%;
Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio of less than 3%; or Leverage Capital Ratio less than 3%); and "critically undercapitalized" (tangible equity to total assets less than 2%). A bank may be treated
as though it were in the next lower capital category if after notice and the opportunity for a hearing, the appropriate federal agency finds an unsafe or unsound condition or practice so warrants, but
no bank may be treated as "critically undercapitalized" unless its actual capital ratio warrants such treatment.

At
each successively lower capital category, an insured bank is subject to increased restrictions on its operations. For example, a bank is generally prohibited from paying management
fees to any controlling persons or from making capital distributions if to do so would make the bank "undercapitalized." Asset growth and branching restrictions apply to undercapitalized banks, which
are required to submit written capital restoration plans meeting specified requirements (including a guarantee by the parent holding company, if any). "Significantly undercapitalized" banks are
subject to broad regulatory authority, including among other things, capital directives, forced mergers, restrictions on the rates of interest they may pay on deposits, restrictions on asset growth
and activities, and prohibitions on paying bonuses or increasing compensation to senior executive officers without FDIC approval. Even more severe restrictions apply to critically undercapitalized
banks. Most importantly, except under limited circumstances, not later than 90 days after an insured bank becomes critically undercapitalized, the appropriate federal banking agency is required
to appoint a conservator or receiver for the bank.

In
addition to measures taken under the prompt corrective action provisions, insured banks may be subject to potential actions by the federal regulators for unsafe or unsound practices
in conducting their businesses or for violations of any law, rule, regulation or any condition imposed in writing by the agency or any written agreement with the agency. Enforcement actions may
include the issuance of cease and desist orders, termination of insurance of deposits (in the case of a bank), the imposition of civil money penalties, the issuance of directives to increase capital,
formal and informal agreements, or removal and prohibition orders against "institution-affiliated" parties.

Safety and Soundness Standards

The federal banking agencies have also adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards for all insured depository
institutions. Those guidelines relate to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan underwriting and documentation, compensation and interest rate exposure. In general, the
standards are designed to assist the federal banking agencies in identifying and addressing problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If an institution fails to meet
these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit a compliance plan and institute enforcement proceedings if an acceptable compliance plan is not submitted.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the Troubled Asset Relief Program

In response to unprecedented market turmoil and the financial crises affecting the overall banking system and financial markets in the
United States, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") was enacted in October 2008. On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Stimulus
Bill") was enacted, which among other things augmented certain provisions of the EESA. Under the EESA, the Treasury Department has authority, among other things, to purchase up to $700 billion
in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the
"TARP"). The purpose of the TARP is to restore confidence and stability to the U.S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other.

Pursuant
to the EESA, the Treasury Department was initially authorized to use $350 billion for the TARP. Of this amount, the Treasury Department allocated $250 billion to
the TARP Capital Purchase Program (see description below). On January 15, 2009, the second $350 billion of TARP monies was released to the Treasury Department.

The
TARP Capital Purchase Program ("CPP") was developed to purchase $250 billion in senior preferred stock from qualifying financial institutions, and was designed to strengthen
the capital and liquidity positions of viable institutions and to encourage banks and thrifts to increase lending to creditworthy borrowers. The amount of the Treasury Department's preferred stock
that a particular qualifying financial institution could be approved to issue would be not less than 1% of risk-weighted assets and not more than the lesser of $25 billion or 3% of
risk-weighted assets.

The
general terms of the TARP CPP include:

The
Company elected to participate in the TARP CPP and in December 2008 issued $1.7 million worth of preferred stock to the Treasury Department pursuant to this program. Following
the receipt of additional capital from a private placement, the Company sought and received permission to
repurchase the $1.7 million worth of preferred stock form the Treasury Department in September 2009. Shortly thereafter, the Company reached an agreement regarding the value of the warrant
issued in conjunction with the TARP CPP with the redemption completed in October 2009. Accordingly, the Company had no outstanding TARP obligations at October 2009. Certain reporting requirements
associated with the Company's participation will continue into 2010.

The
EESA also established a Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ("TLGP") that gives the FDIC the ability to provide a guarantee for newly-issued senior unsecured debt and
non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts at eligible insured institutions. The Company has no current plans to participate in the senior unsecured debt of the TLGP. The Company is
currently participating in the guarantee program for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts. For non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, a 10 basis point
annual rate surcharge will be applied to deposit amounts in excess of $250,000. This program is scheduled to end on June 30, 2010.

Deposit Insurance

The Bank's deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, up to the maximum applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance
Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. Effective January 1, 2007 the FDIC adopted a new risk-based insurance assessment
system designed to tie what banks pay for deposit insurance more closely to the risks they pose. The FDIC also adopted a new base schedule of rates that the FDIC could adjust up or down, depending on
the needs of the DIF, and set initial premiums for 2007 that ranged from 5 cents per $100 of domestic deposits in the lowest risk category to 43 cents per $100 of domestic deposits for banks in the
highest risk category. The new assessment system resulted in annual assessments on the Bank's deposits of 6 cents per $100 of domestic deposits. The Bank's deposit insurance premium for 2008, its
first full year of operations, was approximately $30,000. In 2009 the Bank's deposit insurance premium was approximately $168,000 including a special assessment of approximately $40,000.

On
October 16, 2008, in response to the problems facing the financial markets and the economy, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation published a restoration plan (Restoration
Plan) designed to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) such that the reserve ratio would return to 1.15% within five years. On December 16, 2008, the FDIC adopted a final rule increasing
risk-based assessment rates uniformly by seven basis points, on an annual basis, for the first quarter 2009. On February 27, 2009, the FDIC concluded that the problems facing the
financial services sector and the economy at large constituted extraordinary circumstances and amended the Restoration Plan and extended the time within which the reserve ratio would return to 1.15%
from five to seven years (Amended Restoration Plan). In May 2009, Congress amended the statutory provision governing establishment and implementation of a Restoration Plan to allow the FDIC eight
years to bring the reserve ratio back to 1.15%, absent extraordinary circumstances. On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule imposing a five basis point special assessment on each insured
depository institution's assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The Bank paid $40,000 for its special assessment which was collected in September 2009.

In
a final rule issued on September 29, 2009, the FDIC amended the Amended Restoration Plan as follows:



On
November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule to require insured institutions to prepay their quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessments for the fourth
quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012, on December 30, 2009. Our prepaid assessment was $412,000.

In
addition, banks must pay an amount which fluctuates but is currently 0.285 cents per $100 of insured deposits per quarter, towards the retirement of the Financing Corporation bonds
issued in the 1980's to assist in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2019.

The
enactment of the EESA (discussed above) temporarily raised the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor. The temporary increase in
deposit insurance coverage became effective on October 3, 2008. EESA provides that the basic deposit insurance limit will return to $100,000 after December 31, 2013. In addition,
pursuant to the guarantee program for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts under the TAGP in which the Bank has elected to participate, which provides a temporary unlimited
guarantee of funds in non-interest bearing accounts, as defined, a 10 basis point annual rate surcharge will be applied to deposit amounts in excess of $250,000. As of December 31,
2009, the Bank had approximately $24.4 million in non-interest bearing accounts exceeding $250,000. The TAGP is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2010.

Privacy and Data Security

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which became effective in 2000, imposed new requirements on financial institutions with respect to consumer
privacy. The statute generally prohibits disclosure of consumer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the consumer has been given the opportunity to object and has not
objected to such disclosure. Financial institutions are further required to disclose their privacy policies to consumers annually. Financial institutions, however, will be required to comply with
state law if it is more protective of consumer privacy than the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The statute also directed federal regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, to prescribe standards
for the security of consumer information. The Company and the Bank are subject to such standards, as well as standards for notifying consumers in the event of a security breach.

Community Reinvestment Act

The Bank is subject to certain requirements and reporting obligations involving Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") activities. The CRA
generally requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate the record of a financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.
The CRA further requires the agencies to take a financial institution's

10

---



Table of Contents

record
of meeting its community credit needs into account when evaluating applications for, among other things, domestic branches, consummating mergers or acquisitions, or holding company formations.
In measuring a bank's compliance with its CRA obligations, the regulators now utilize a performance-based evaluation system which bases CRA ratings on the bank's actual lending service and
investment performance, rather than on the extent to which the institution conducts needs assessments, documents community outreach activities or complies with other procedural requirements. In
connection with its assessment of CRA performance, the agencies assign a rating of "outstanding," "satisfactory," "needs to improve" or "substantial noncompliance."

Other Consumer Protection Laws and Regulations

Activities of all insured banks are subject to a variety of statutes and regulations designed to protect consumers, such as the Fair
Credit Reporting Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and Truth-in-Lending Act. Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by the Bank are also subject to state usury
laws and certain other federal laws concerning interest rates. The Bank's loan operations are also subject to federal laws and regulations applicable to credit transactions. Together, these laws and
regulations include provisions that:



The
Bank's deposit operations are also subject to laws and regulations that:



On
November 17, 2009, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System promulgated a rule entitled "Electronic Fund Transfers", with an effective date of January 19,
2010 and a mandatory compliance date of July 1, 2010. The rule, which applies to all FDIC-regulated institutions, prohibits financial institutions from assessing an overdraft fee
for paying automated teller machine (ATM) and one-time point-of-sale debit card transactions, unless the customer affirmatively opts in to the overdraft service for
those types of transactions. The opt-in provision establishes requirements for clear disclosure of fees and terms of overdraft services for ATM and one-time debit card
transactions. The rule does not apply to other types of transactions, such as check, automated clearinghouse (ACH) and recurring debit card transactions. Since a small portion of the Company's service
charges on deposits are in the form of overdraft fees or point-of-sale transactions, this would not have a significant adverse impact on our non-interest income.
However, the impact ultimately depends on the level of customer opt-in and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty.

Commercial Real Estate Lending and Concentrations

On December 2, 2006, the federal bank regulatory agencies released Guidance on Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending,
Sound Risk Management Practices (the "Guidance"). The Guidance, which was issued in response to the agencies' concern that rising commercial real estate ("CRE")

11

---



Table of Contents

concentrations
might expose institutions to unanticipated earnings and capital volatility in the event of adverse changes in the commercial real estate market, reinforces existing regulations and
guidelines for real estate lending and loan portfolio management.

Highlights
of the Guidance include the following:



The
Company believes that the Guidance is applicable to it, as it has a concentration in CRE loans. The Company and its board of directors have discussed the Guidance and believe that
the Bank's underwriting policy, management information systems, independent credit administration process and monthly monitoring of real estate loan concentrations will be sufficient to address the
Guidance. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFinancial ConditionLoans."

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

On December 13, 2006, the federal bank regulatory agencies releasedInteragency Policy Statement on the
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses("ALLL"), which revises and replaces the banking agencies' 1993 policy statement on the ALLL. The revised statement was
issued to ensure consistency with generally

12

---



Table of Contents

accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") and more recent supervisory guidance. The revised statement extends the applicability of the policy to credit unions. Additionally, the agencies issued 16 FAQs
to assist institutions in complying with both GAAP and ALLL supervisory guidance.

Highlights
of the revised statement include the following:



The
Company and its board of directors have discussed the revised statement and believe that the Company's ALLL methodology is comprehensive, systematic, and consistently applied across
the Company. The Company believes its management information systems, independent credit administration process, policies and procedures are sufficient to address and had met the requirements of
guidance.

Interstate Banking and Branching

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 regulates the interstate activities of banks and
bank holding companies and establishes a framework for nationwide interstate banking and branching. Since June 1, 1997, a bank in one state has generally been permitted to merge with a bank in
another state without the need for explicit state law authorization. However, states were given the ability to prohibit interstate mergers with banks in their own state by "opting-out"
(enacting state legislation applying equality to all out-of-state banks prohibiting such mergers) prior to June 1, 1997.

Since
1995, adequately capitalized and managed bank holding companies have been permitted to acquire banks located in any state, subject to two exceptions: first, any state may still
prohibit bank holding companies from acquiring a bank which is less than five years old; and second, no interstate acquisition can be consummated by a bank holding company if the acquirer would
control more than 10% of the deposits held by insured depository institutions nationwide or 30% percent or more of the deposits held by insured depository institutions in any state in which the target
bank has branches.

In
1995, California enacted legislation to implement important provisions of the Riegle-Neal Act discussed above and to repeal California's previous interstate banking laws,
which were largely preempted by the Riegle-Neal Act.

A
bank may establish and operate de novo branches in any state in which the bank does not maintain a branch if that state has enacted legislation to expressly permit all
out-of-state banks to establish branches in that state. However, California law expressly prohibits an out-of-state bank which does not already have a
California branch office from (i) purchasing a branch office of a California bank (as opposed to purchasing the entire bank) and thereby establishing a California branch office or
(ii) establishing a de novo branch in California.

The
changes effected by the Riegle-Neal Act and California laws have increased competition in the environment in which the Bank operates to the extent that
out-of-state financial institutions may directly or indirectly enter the Bank's market areas. It appears that the Riegle-Neal Act has contributed to the accelerated
consolidation of the banking industry. While many large out-of-state banks have already entered the California market as a result of this legislation, it is not possible to
predict the precise impact of this legislation on the Bank and the competitive environment in which it operates.

Financial Modernization Act

Effective March 11, 2000, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, also known as the "Financial Modernization Act", enabled full affiliations
to occur between banks and securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers. This legislation permits bank holding companies to become "financial holding companies", and
thereby acquire securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its
subsidiary banks is "well capitalized" and "well managed" under applicable definitions, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the CRA by filing a declaration that the bank holding company
wishes to become a financial holding company.

The
Financial Modernization Act defines "financial in nature" to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance
underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Board has determined to be closely related to banking. A national bank also may engage, subject to limitations on
investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development and real estate investment, through a
financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is well capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory CRA rating. Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company or national banks with
financial subsidiaries must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which
could include divestiture of financial subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each
of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company or the bank has a CRA rating of satisfactory or better. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also imposes significant requirements on financial
institutions with respect to the privacy of customer information, and modifies other existing laws, including those related to community reinvestment.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in October 2001 in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The Patriot
Act was intended to strengthen United States law enforcement's and the intelligence communities' ability to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The impact of the Patriot Act on
financial institutions of all kinds has been significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act substantially enhanced existing anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and
required appropriate regulatory authorities to adopt rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in
terrorism or money laundering. Under the Patriot Act, financial institutions are subject to prohibitions regarding specified financial transactions and account relationships, as well as enhanced due
diligence and "know your customer" standards in their dealings with foreign financial institutions and foreign customers. For example, the enhanced due diligence policies, procedures, and controls
generally require financial institutions to take reasonable steps:

The
Patriot Act also requires all financial institutions to establish anti-money laundering programs, which must include, at minimum:



The
Bank has adopted comprehensive policies and procedures, and believes that it has taken all necessary actions, to ensure compliance with all financial transparency and
anti-money laundering laws, including the Patriot Act.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

As a public company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which implements a broad range of corporate governance and
accounting measures for public companies designed to promote honesty and transparency in corporate America and better protect investors from corporate wrongdoing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act's principal
legislation and the derivative
regulation and rule-making promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission includes:

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information on the risks the Company faces and our management of risk contained in this annual report or in
our regulatory filings, the following are significant risks which may affect us. Events or circumstances arising from one or more of these risks could adversely affect the Company's business,
financial condition, operating results and prospects, and the value and price of our common stock could decline. The risks identified below are not intended to be a comprehensive list of all risks we
face, and additional risk that we may currently view as not material may also impair our business operations and results.

WE DO NOT HAVE A HISTORY OF PROFITABILITY.The Company did not earn a profit for the year ended December 31, 2009 and while
is it anticipated
that the Company will be operated profitably in the future, there is no guarantee that this will be the case. The losses that occurred during the current year were the results of anticipated costs
associated with developing our operating infrastructure during 2008 and 2009. This was initially coupled with mix of earning assets weighted in categories with lower interest returns, a condition
expected in new banks. It is anticipated that the mix of interest-earning assets will improve during 2010. It is also anticipated that the growth in total earning assets will increase as well. There
will be new sources of non-interest related income generated during 2010. However, any increase in earnings may be more than offset by the effects of the current economic downturn which
may result in unanticipated loan losses and the contraction of business opportunities, which would impair the Company's ability to generate sufficient income to cover operating costs.

THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS HAS BEEN AND MAY CONTINUE TO BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY VOLATILE CONDITIONS IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AND ADVERSE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
GENERALLY.A sustained weakness in the business and economic conditions generally or specifically in the principal markets in which we do business could result in
one or more the following adverse effects on our businesses:



16

---







Table of Contents



Other
financial institutions, including those that are operating within our market place, have been subject to regulatory action including closure. Such uncertainty in the financial
markets undermines the confidence of individuals and business enterprises.

Overall,
during the past two years, the general business environment has had an adverse effect on business in our market area and there is no assurance that the environment will improve
in the near future. Until conditions improve, we expect that our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively impacted.

POOR ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE MARKET MAY CAUSE US TO SUFFER HIGHER DEFAULT RATES ON OUR LOANS AND DECREASED VALUE OF THE ASSETS WE HOLD AS
COLLATERAL.A substantial majority of our assets and deposits have been and will be generated in Southern California, and at December 31, 2009,
approximately 58% of the Company's loans were real estate loans, most of which are secured by real property in Southern California. During 2009, the real estate market in Southern California continued
to deteriorate significantly, as evidenced by declining prices, reduced transaction volume, and increased foreclosure rates, and this deterioration may be expected to result in an increase in the
level of the Company's nonperforming loans, particularly commercial real estate loans. If this real estate trend in the Company's market areas continues or worsens, the result could be reduced income,
increased expenses, and less cash available for lending and other activities, which could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

WE MAY SUFFER LOSSES IN OUR LOAN PORTFOLIO DESPITE ADHERENCE TO PRUDENT UNDERWRITING PRACTICES.The Company mitigates the risks
inherent in extending
credit by adhering to sound and proven underwriting practices, managed by experienced and knowledgeable credit professionals. These practices include analysis of a borrower's prior credit history,
financial statements, tax returns, and cash flow projections, valuations of collateral based on reports of independent appraisers and verifications of liquid assets. Although we believe that our
underwriting criteria is appropriate for the various kinds of loans we make, we may incur losses on loans that meet our underwriting criteria, and these losses may exceed the amounts set aside as
reserves in the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Bank regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans and allowance for loan losses. This is also the practice
of the Company's independent auditors. A review of the Bank's loans was completed as recently as November, 2009 by a third party loan review, where all recommendations regarding the risk weighing of
bank credits were implemented. While we believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover potential losses, we cannot guarantee that future increases to the allowance for loan losses may
not be required by regulators or other third party loan review or financial audits. Any of these occurrences could materially adversely affect our earnings.

WE COULD BE AT A DISADVANTAGE WHEN COMPETING FOR DEPOSITS AND LOANS WITH LARGER INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE LARGER LENDING LIMITS AND ESTABLISHED CUSTOMER
CONTACTS.As a new bank in an established market, the Bank competes with other financial institutions for deposits, which will be our primary source of funds, and
originating loans. Our competition for deposits will come primarily from savings and commercial banks in the South Bay, Westside and the Los Angeles airport areas of Los Angeles County, and our
competition for loans will come principally from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies and brokerage and
investment banking firms. We also will face additional competition from internet-based institutions. These institutions may have competitive advantages over the Bank because they have greater
capitalization and other resources. They also can offer potential depositors more convenient depository facilities and borrowers higher lending limits and certain other customer services which the
Bank may not be able to offer. The Bank may have to pay more to attract deposits,

17

---



Table of Contents

which
would hurt our earnings. The Bank may not be successful in attracting the deposits or originating the loans it will need to sustain its growth. The Bank's ability to increase its asset base
depends in large part on its ability to attract additional deposits at favorable rates from traditional sources. There is no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL AND THE LOSS OF ONE OR MORE OF THOSE KEY PERSONNEL MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROSPECTS.Competition
for qualified employees in the banking industry is intense, and there are limited numbers of qualified persons with knowledge of, and experience in, the California community banking industry. The
process of recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategies is often lengthy. The Company's success depends to a significant degree upon its
ability to attract and retain qualified management, loan origination, finance, administrative, marketing and business development, and technical personnel, and upon the continued contributions of our
management and personnel. In particular, our success had been and continues to be highly dependent upon the abilities of key executives and certain other employees. There have been changes in key
executive positions since the Company's inception, and there is no guarantee that other changes may not occur. Our original President and Chief Executive Officer resigned from the Company's Board and
ceased to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer in February 2010, and although we located a new President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Deepak Kumar, relatively
quickly, and although we believe Mr. Kumar has skills and qualifications that will enable him to successfully lead the Company, including more than 20 years of experience in the banking
and financial services industry, Mr. Kumar has not previously been the Chief Executive Officer of a community bank and there can be no assurance that he will be successful, or, that if he is
successful, he will remain with the Company. Other than the employment agreement for Mr. Kumar, which is for an indefinite term, we have five employment agreements with executive officers as of
December 31, 2009, each of which was written for a multi-year period. Three of these agreements expire on August 15, 2010, the fourth agreement expires on January 22,
2012 and one agreement expires on October 31, 2012.

WE FACE LIMITS ON OUR ABILITY TO LEND.The Bank's legal lending limit as of December 31, 2009 was approximately
$3.5 million.
Accordingly, the size of the loans which we can offer to potential customers is less than the size of loans which many of our competitors with larger lending limits can offer. The Bank's lending limit
affects our ability to seek relationships with the area's larger and more established businesses. Through our previous experience and relationships with other financial institutions in the Los Angeles
area, we have the ability to accommodate loan amounts greater than our legal lending limits by selling participations in those loans to other banks. However, we cannot be assured of any success in
attracting or retaining customers seeking larger loans or that we can engage in participations of those loans on terms favorable to us.

INTEREST RATE FLUCTUATIONS AND OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL COULD HARM PROFITABILITY.Our net interest income
before provision for
loan losses and net income depends to a great extent on "rate differentials," i.e., the difference between the income we receive from our loans, securities and other earning assets, and the
interest expense we pay on our deposits and other liabilities. These rates will be highly sensitive to many factors which will be beyond our control, including general economic conditions, both
domestic and foreign, and the monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities, in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. It is impossible to
predict the nature or extent of the effect on our operations of monetary policy changes or other economic trends over which we have no control, such as unemployment and inflation. In addition, factors
like natural resource prices, international conflicts and terrorist attacks and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our business.

WE RELY ON COMMUNICATIONS, INFORMATION, OPERATING AND FINANCIAL CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY FROM THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.We
rely heavily on
third-party

18

Table of Contents

service
providers for much of our communications, information, operating and financial control systems technology, including customer relations management, general ledger, and loan servicing and loan
origination systems. Any failure or interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in a material adverse effect on our ability to operate efficiently and expose the Company to
regulatory, legal and reputation risks.

WE WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT ("SOX") OF 2002-SECTION 404.As a smaller reporting company
under
SEC rules, the Company became subject to SOX section 404(a), management's assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting ("ICFR"), for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Further, the Company will become
subject to the provisions of SOX section 404 (b), the auditor attestation requirement of the Company's ICFR, which will be effective for the Company's 2010 fiscal year. In connection with its
compliance obligation under SOX section 404, the Company will incur substantial costs including professional fees, personnel expenses and systems and software costs. Those increased costs will
have an impact on our ability to achieve or maintain profitability and, on an ongoing basis, will affect the results of our operations. We completed the process of implementing and documenting the
Company's ICFR for SOX compliance during 2008 but are augmenting the process due to the acquisition of BOMC in October 2009.

As
a part of that ongoing process, we may yet discover material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls as defined under standards adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board, ("PCAOB"), that require remediation. Under PCOAB standards, a "material weakness" is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, which results in
more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. A "significant deficiency" is a control deficiency or
combination of control deficiencies, that affect a company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is a more than remote likelihood that a misstatement of a company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

As
a result of weaknesses that may be identified in our internal controls, we may also identify certain deficiencies in some of our disclosure controls and procedures that we believe
require remediation. If we discover weaknesses, we will make efforts to improve our internal controls or make any necessary improvement to our internal and disclosure controls that could harm
operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

RECENTLY ENACTED LEGISLATION AND THE COMPANY'S PARTICIPATION IN THE TARP CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM MAY INCREASE COSTS AND LIMIT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO PURSUE BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES.The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the "EESA"), as augmented by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Stimulus
Bill"), was intended to stabilize and provide liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. It is impossible to predict, however, what actual impact the EESA and the Stimulus Bill and their regulations and
other governmental programs will have on such markets. The failure of the financial markets to stabilize and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could adversely affect
the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The programs established or to be established under the EESA and the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") have resulted in
increased regulation of the industry in general and/or TARP Capital Purchase Program participants in particular. Because the Company repaid all of its TARP obligations in 2009, its cost incurred for
compliance as a participant in the TARP program as well as the limits imposed on its business operations as a result of its being a participant in the TARP program, will be eliminated on an ongoing
basis following the first quarter of 2010.

THE COMPANY'S EXPENSES WILL INCREASE AS A RESULT OF INCREASES IN FDIC INSURANCE PREMIUMS.Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
 the FDIC, absent
extraordinary circumstances, must establish and implement a plan to restore the deposit insurance reserve ratio to 1.15% of insured

19

---



Table of Contents

deposits,
over a five-year period, at any time that the reserve ratio falls below 1.15%. Recent bank failures coupled with deteriorating economic conditions have significantly reduced the
deposit insurance fund's reserve ratio which was in a negative position by the end of 2009, and the FDIC currently has seven years to bring the reserve ratio back to the statutory minimum. The FDIC
expects insured institution failures to peak in 2010, which will result in continued charges again the Deposit Insurance Fund, and they have implemented a restoration plan that changes both its
risk-based assessment system and its base assessment rates. As part of this plan, the FDIC imposed a special assessment in 2009 and also required the prepayment of three years of FDIC
insurance premiums at the end of 2009. See "Regulation and SupervisionDeposit Insurance", above. The prepayments are designed to help address liquidity issues created by potential timing
differences between the collection of premiums and charges again the DFI, but it is generally expected that assessment rates will continue to increase in the near term due to the significant cost of
bank failures and a relatively large number of troubled banks.

As
a member institution of the FDIC, the Bank is required to pay quarterly deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The Bank's deposit insurance premium for 2008, its first
full year of operations, was approximately $30,000. In 2009 the Bank's deposit insurance premium was approximately $168,000 including a special assessment of approximately $40,000.

To
increase the liquidity in the FDIC deposit insurance program, the Bank was required to prepay its estimated premiums for the next three years ending in December 31, 2012; the
amount of the prepaid premium as of December 31, 2009 was approximately $412,000.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

The Company has entered into a lease, which commenced on July 1, 2007, for the Company's main office and our corporate
headquarters located at 2141 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 1160, in the city of El Segundo. The lease is for a term of seven years, with one option to renew for five years. We occupy approximately
7,600 square feet on the ground floor of a six-story multi-tenant building complex known as The Plaza at Continental Park. The current base rental is $20,996 per month, with annual
increases of 3% per year as of July 1 each year.

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

On September 4, 2007, shares of the Company's common stock began quotations on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB")
under the symbol "MNHN". The Bancorp stock is not listed on any exchange including the NASDAQ. The OTCBB is a regulated
quotation service that displays real-time bid and ask prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. Unlike the NASDAQ however, the OTCBB does
not impose listing standards and does not provide automated trade executions. Any investment in Bancorp common stock should be considered a long-term investment as there is currently no
active trading market for the Company's stock.

The
information in the following table indicates the highest and lowest sales price and volume of trading for the Bancorp's common stock for each of the calendar quarter in the two years
ended December 31, 2009, and is based upon information provided by the OTCBB. The information does not include transactions for which no public records are available. These prices are based
upon the actual prices of stock transactions without retail mark-ups, mark-downs, commissions or adjustments.

Dividends

To date, we have not paid any cash dividends. As a bank holding company that currently has no significant assets other than its equity
interest in the Bank and MBFS, the Company's ability to declare dividends depends primarily upon dividends it receives from its subsidiaries. The dividend practice of the Bank and MBFS, like the
Company's dividend practice, will depend upon its earnings, financial position, current and anticipated cash requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the subsidiaries' Board of Directors at
the time.

Bank's ability to pay cash dividends to the Company is also subject to certain legal limitations. No national bank may, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 56, pay dividends from
its capital; all dividends must be paid out of the net profits then on hand, after deducting for expenses including losses and bad debts. The payment of dividends out of net profits of a national bank
is further limited by 12 U.S.C. Section 60(a) which prohibits a bank from declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock, or if the
surplus fund does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one-tenth of the bank's net profits of the preceding half-year in the case of quarterly or semiannual dividends,
or the proceeding two consecutive half-year periods are transferred to the surplus fund before each dividend is declared.

Table of Contents

Pursuant
to 12 U.S.C. Section 60(b), the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency shall be required if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year
shall exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its net profits for the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus or fund for the retirement of any preferred
stock. The Comptroller has adopted guidelines, which set forth factors which are to be considered by a national bank in determining the payment of dividends. A national bank, in assessing the payment
of dividends, is to evaluate the bank's capital position, its maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, and the need to review or develop a comprehensive capital plan, complete
with financial projections, budgets and dividend guidelines. Therefore, the payment of dividends by the Bank is also governed by the Bank's ability to maintain minimum required capital levels and an
adequate allowance for loan and lease losses. Additionally, pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(b), the Comptroller may prohibit the payment of any dividend which would constitute an unsafe and
unsound banking practice.

The
Company's ability to pay dividends is also limited by state corporation law. The California General Corporation Law prohibits the Company from paying dividends on the common stock
unless: (i) its retained earnings, immediately prior to the dividend payment, equals or exceeds the amount of the dividend or (ii) immediately after giving effect to the dividend the sum
of the Company's assets (exclusive of goodwill and deferred charges) would be at least equal to 125% of its liabilities and the current assets of the Company would be at least equal to its current
liabilities, or, if the average of its earnings before taxes on income and before interest expense of the two preceding fiscal years was less than the average of its interest expense of the two
preceding fiscal years, at least equal to 125% of its current liabilities. These provisions of the California General Corporation Law would also limit the ability of MBFS to pay dividends to the
Company.

In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the issuance to the Treasury Department of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, the consent of the Treasury Department will be required
for the Company to issue a common stock dividend or repurchase its common stock, or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and
certain other circumstances.

Shareholders
are entitled to receive dividends only when and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if
any, for the purpose of increasing the net worth and reserves of the Company. Accordingly, it is anticipated that no cash dividends will be declared in the foreseeable future, and no assurance can be
given that the Company's earnings will permit the payment of dividends of any kind in the future. The future dividend policy of the Company will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors
and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, financial condition, liquidity, and general business conditions.

MBFS's
cash position is dependent upon the earning distributions from its subsidiary BOMC. BOMC's distribution in based upon the anticipated cash requirements and other factors deemed
relevant by its Board of Directors at the time.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

GENERAL

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation is intended to provide a better understanding of
the significant changes in trends relating to the Company's financial condition, results of operation, liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements contained within this report including the notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

The Company recorded a net loss of $5,046,000 ($1.26 basic and fully-diluted loss per share) for the year ended December 31,
2009 as compared to a net loss of $4,419,000 ($1.72 basic and fully diluted loss per share) for the year ended December 31, 2008, a 14.2% increase. The increase in the net loss between the
first two full-year operating periods is primarily due to three reasons:



The
2008 loss is more of a reflection of the initial limited asset growth than the result of asset deterioration or increases in operational expenses.

Net
interest income before provision for loan losses increased to $3,755,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $2,246,000 for the year ended December 31,
2008, an increase of
67.2%. The Company's ability to reach profitability is based first and foremost on growing the size and composition of its average earning assets in a profitable manner. The Company's total assets
increased from $92,040,000 at December 31, 2008 to $152,314,000 or 65% at December 31, 2009.

Net
loans continue to represent the largest portion of the Company's interest-earning assets, although the end-of-year percentage of loans to earning assets was
reduced significantly by an increase in temporary funds, which augmented the Federal funds sold year-end totals. At December 31, 2009, net loans were $78,913,000 or 53.8% of
interest-earning assets. The comparable total at December 31, 2008 represents an increase of 40% with net loans at $56,467,000 or 81.8% of interest-earning assets. The growth in the loan
portfolio is significant because it not only represents the greatest concentration of the Company's assets, it is also the highest yielding of the Company's assets.

The
Company's allowance for loan losses was $975,000 or 1.70% of loans at December 31, 2008 compared to $1,202,000 or 1.50% of loans at December 31, 2009. The decrease in
the percentage between years is primarily attributable to the removal by charge-off of loans during 2009 which at December 31, 2008 required a higher reserve to reflect the
deterioration of the credit. During 2009, the Company has made adjustments of qualitative factors in the allowance valuation methodology to reflect the downturn in the economy. The Company has had no
non-performing loans from its inception to December 31, 2009, although loans which were performing were charged-off when the full non-collectability became
evident, prior to any default by the borrowers.

Deposits
increased from $47,991,000 at December 31, 2008 to $110,920,000 at December 31, 2009 or 131%. The increase was generated primarily, but not exclusively, from the
Company's local market. All funding was achieved at rates which were competitive.

Shareholders'
equity decreased from $34,288,000 at December 31, 2008 to $28,402,000 at December 31, 2009. The equity was negatively impacted by the 2009 operating loss of
$5,046,000 and the cost associated with the repurchase of the preferred stock and outstanding warrant.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially
result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve
the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows:

Allowance for loan losses

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") to provide for potential losses in its loan portfolio.
Additions to the allowance are made by charges to operating expense in the form of a provision for loan losses. All loans that are judged to be uncollectible will be charged against the allowance
while recoveries would be credited to the allowance. We have instituted loan policies, designed primarily for internal use, to adequately evaluate and assess the analysis of the risk factors
associated with the Bank's loan portfolio and to enable us to assess such risk factors prior to granting new loans and to assess the sufficiency of the allowance. We conduct a critical evaluation on
the loan portfolio monthly.

The
calculation of the adequacy of the ALLL necessarily includes estimates by management applied to known loan portfolio elements. We employ a 10-point loan grading system in
an effort to more accurately track the inherent quality of the loan portfolio. The 10-point system assigns a value of "1" or "2" to loans that are substantially risk free. Modest, average
and acceptable risk loans are assigned point values of "3", "4", and "5", respectively. Loans on the watch list are assigned a point value of "6." Point values of "7," "8," "9" and "10" are assigned
respectively to loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Using these risk factors, management continues the analysis of the general reserves by applying quantitative
factors based upon different risk scenarios. In addition, management considers other trends that are qualitative relative to our marketplace, demographic trends, the risk rating of the loan portfolios
as discussed above, amounts and trends in non-performing assets and concentration factors.

Investment Securities

The Company had both investment securities classified as held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale. The held-to-maturity classification requires that securities be recorded at cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts over the estimated period to maturity, or to an earlier call date, if appropriate, on an effective interest yield basis. These
securities would include those that management has the intent and the ability to hold into the foreseeable future.

Under
the available-for-sale classification, securities can be sold in response to certain conditions, such as changes in interest rates, fluctuations in deposit
levels or loan demand or need to restructure the portfolio to better match the maturity of interest rate characteristics of liabilities with assets. Securities classified as
available-for-sale are accounted for at their current fair value rather than amortized historical cost. Unrealized gains or losses are excluded from net income and reported as
an amount net of taxes as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in shareholders' equity.

At
each reporting date, investment securities are assessed to determine whether there is other-than-temporary impairment. If it is probable that the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due to the contractual terms of a debt security not impaired at acquisition, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have
occurred. Such impairment, if any, is required to be recognized in current earnings rather than as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sales are determined on a
specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. For mortgage-backed securities, the
amortization or accretion is based upon estimated average lives of the securities. The lives of the securities can fluctuate based upon the amount of prepayments received on the assets.

26

Table of Contents

Goodwill

As discussed in Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, we will assess goodwill each year for impairment. This
assessment will involve estimated cash flows for future periods. If the future cash flows were materially less than the recorded goodwill, we would be required to take a charge against earnings to
write down the assets to the lower value.

Deferred Tax Assets

As discussed in Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the realization of any benefit from the deferred tax asset is
dependent on an estimation of future earnings. Due to the Company's net loss position, all tax benefits that apply to this operating loss, as well as losses from pre-opening expenses, have
been offset with a tax valuation allowance of equal amount. The ability to recognize any benefit from operating losses is directly related to Company's demonstrated ability to record profits within
the foreseeable future. While we believe that we will become profitable, it is more likely than not that we will not generate sufficient taxable income in the near future to sufficiently or fully use
the tax benefits currently available. In this case, we are required to establish a valuation reserve to cover the potential loss of these benefits.

As
noted, at present the valuation allowance fully offsets any potential benefit. If future income should prove to be nonexistent or less than the amount of the deferred tax assets
within the tax years to which is applies, the asset many not be realized and no benefit will result.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Loss

In 2009, the Company reported a net loss of $5,046,000 for its second full year of operation or $1.26 per share attributable to Company
shareholders. The recorded loss from operations during the first full year of operations was approximately $4,419,000 or $1.72 per share. During the Company's initial growth phase, it was always
anticipated that the Bank, as the income-producing subsidiary of the Company, would operate at a loss. This is also true of the subsidiary of MBFS, BOMC, which was acquired by the Company on
October 1, 2009 and which commenced its business activity in May 2009.

In
addition to the initial challenge of building the Company's interest-bearing assets to a level which would support ongoing profitability, the financial industry in general, and the
Bank specifically, was negatively affected by the decline in credit-worthy customers, reducing the traditional source of income for a community bank, the loan portfolio. The alternatives in the
investment area were also negatively impacted with historically low yields on interest-bearing assets. The cost of funding assets has decreased
since the Bank's inception but the fluctuations in both asset and liability mixes have resulted in an inconsistent pattern in net interest margins over the eight (8) quarters covered by this
evaluation.

The
reported net interest margin for each of the annual periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were 4.00% and 3.89% respectively. However, the 2009 fourth
quarter net interest margin was only 3.79%, a decline of 47 basis points over the immediately previous quarter. The significant quarterly decline was primarily the result of the rapid changes in the
asset and liability mix. See "Net Interest Income" below for future discussion regarding net interest margin.

Net Interest Income

The Company's ability to produce dependable earnings is directly tied to the net interest income, which is the difference between what
we earn on loans and other interest-earning assets and the interest we pay on deposits and borrowed funds. Total interest income can fluctuate based upon the mix of earning assets between loans,
investments and federal funds sold and the related rates associated with their balances. Some of the funding sources for these assets also have an interest cost which can fluctuate based

27

---



Table of Contents

upon
the mix of interest-bearing and non-interest bearing liabilities and the related rates associated with their balances. The net number between the interest income and the interest
expense is called net interest income and is often expressed as interest rate spread and net interest margin.

The
interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted average yield on interest earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Net
interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets. Net interest margin is affected by changes in the yields earned on assets
and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate changes, and changes in the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume changes. Interest
rates earned and paid are affected principally by our competition, general economic conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control such as federal economic policies, the general supply of
money in the economy, legislative tax policies, governmental budgetary matters and the actions of the FRB.

A
review of the above tables shows that the overall increase in net interest income of approximately $1,509,000 between the two consecutive years ending at December 31, 2009 is
the result of several factors.

30

---



Table of Contents

Among
the most significant factors was the overall increase in earning assets, up approximately $36.1 million or 62.6% between December 31, 2009 and December 31,
2008. A primary source of such significant growth in earning assets stems from the infusion of capital from the private placement and the issuance of preferred stock during December of 2008. This
source would account for approximately $11.5 million dollars in increased average equity balances, which were augmented by increases in both average interest-bearing funds of
$17.5 million and average interest-free deposits of $7.7 million.

The
percentage of average loan dollars outstanding, as a percentage of interest-earning assets, grew from 67.4% percent as of December 31, 2008 to 70.8% as of December 31,
2009, improving the earning mix where the return on Federal funds sold averaged 27 basis points and loans averaged approximately 6.0% for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The
benefit from the shift in earning asset mix resulted in a positive volume variance of $1,910,000. However, total interest income was impacted by declines experienced in effective
interest rates on all categories of interest-earning assets. The negative rate variance reduced total interest income by $383,000 leaving total interest income up $1,527,000, an increase of 49.7%.

expense increased by a modest $18,000 from the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, with the reduction in effective interest
rates almost completely offset the volume variance due to the increase in average outstanding interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company made provisions for loan losses of $1,179,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $706,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2008. The growth of loans outstanding between the end of 2009 and the end of 2008 would account for approximately 33% of the increase in the loan provision during the year
ended December 31, 2009. The replenishing of the allowance for the net charge-offs was the other primary factor and represented approximately $952,000. Further discussion regarding
the adequacy of the loan loss allowance can be found in this document under "Allowance for Loan Losses".

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $141,000 which includes fee-based income
from the Bank, an increase of 165% centered in fee income associated with deposit account activity, as well as $878,000 of income related to activity of Banc of Manhattan Capital since October, when
the Company acquired the majority interest in this company. The recorded gross income from BOMC of $878,000 for this three-month period was almost sufficient to offset the operating expenses of this
entity for the three months of operations, leaving a loss of approximately $30,000.

During
the year ending December 31, 2009, the compensation and benefits costs of $5,233,000 represent an increase of approximately $1,480,000 or 40% over the year ended
December 31, 2008. Costs include approximately $580,000 attributable to compensation and benefit costs of Banc of Manhattan Capital
for the three-month period, approximately $489,000 in compensation and benefits costs from Manhattan Bancorp, and $412,000 in related costs from the Bank. Compensation and benefits accounted for
approximately 61% of the non-interest expenses of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009.

During
the year ended December 31, 2009, professional expenses increased by approximately $641,000 to $1,059,000 or 153% over the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase
year-over-year included legal and professional services associated with the acquisition of Banc of Manhattan Capital and the exploration of other capital sources for potential
expansion and/or acquisitions.

During
the year ended December 31, 2009, occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $110,000 to $776,000 or 17% over the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase
year-over-year was centered in costs associated with the Banc of Manhattan Capital operation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Time Deposits and Investment Securities

The Bank invests in time deposits with other financial institutions and investment securities principally to (1) generate
interest income pending the ability to deploy those funds in loans meeting our lending strategies; (2) increase net interest income where the rates earned on such investments exceed the related
cost of funds, consistent with the management of interest rate
risk; and (3) provide sufficient liquidity in order to maintain cash flow adequate to fund the Bank's operations and meet obligations and other commitments on a timely and cost efficient basis.

Our
time deposit investments generally have terms of less than two years and are placed with financial institutions in amounts that provide full coverage from the FDIC. As of
December 31, 2009, the weighted average yield for the time deposits was 1.8% with an average weighted remaining life of approximately three months. As of December 31, 2008, the weighted
average yield for the time deposits was 2.6% with the weighted average life of approximately two months.

The
Bank's current investment portfolio consists of U.S. Government Agencies securities, mortgage-backed securities, taxable-municipal bonds and asset-backed securities with an expected
weighted average life of approximately three years.

The
present strategy is to stagger the maturities of our time deposits and investment securities to meet our overall liquidity requirements. Additional information regarding the
composition, maturities and yields of the security portfolios as of December 31, 2009 is found in Note 3 to the Company's financial statements in Item 8 of this document.

Loans

The loan portfolio has consistently increased since the Bank commenced business in mid-August of 2007. Loan growth is
attributable to marketing efforts with credit extended primarily to the Bank's defined market area.

The
following table sets forth the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio at the following:

is customary in the banking industry, loans can be renewed by mutual agreement between borrower and the Bank. Because we are unable to accurately estimate the extent to which our borrowers will renew
their loans, the following table is based on contractual maturities, reflecting gross outstanding loans without consideration of purchase premium, deferred fees or deferred costs.

Of
the gross loans outstanding as of December 31, 2009, approximately 80% of the outstanding loan dollars had adjustable rates. The adjustable-rate loans generally
have interest rates tied to the prime rate and would adjust with changes in the rate on a daily basis.

Commercial Loans.The Bank offers a variety of commercial loans, including secured and unsecured term and revolving lines of credit,
equipment loans,
accounts receivable loans and SBA loans. Approximately 86% of the outstanding loan dollars of the commercial loans have adjustable rates. The Bank underwrites secured term loans and revolving lines of
credit primarily on the basis of a borrower's cash flow and the ability to service the debt, although we rely on the liquidation of the underlying collateral as a secondary payment source, where
applicable. Should the borrower default and the Bank forecloses on the assets, we may not be able to recover the full amount of the loan.

Real Estate Loans.The Bank's real estate loans are secured primarily by commercial property. Approximately 74% of the loan dollars
outstanding are
adjustable during the term of the loan. Approximately 56% of the total real estate loans have a remaining maturity between five and ten years. As of December 31, 2009, the weighted average
ratio of the current loan extension to the underlying value of the property was approximately 43%. No individual loan-to-value ratio exceeded 75%.

Other Loans.The Bank offers other types of loans, including home equity lines of credit. Home equity lines of credit have adjustable
rates and
provide the borrower with a line of credit in an amount which does not exceed 79% of the appraised value of the borrower's property at the time of origination.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Commitments and Contingent Obligations

We enter into or may issue financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to
meet the financial needs of our customers. In both 2009 and 2008, these were substantially limited to undisbursed commitments to extend credit to both businesses and individuals. These commitments
were associated with loans and were therefore subject to the same credit underwriting policies and practices as other on-balance sheet obligations. When deemed advisable, the Bank obtains
collateral to support such commitments.

Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend up to a specific amount to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition in the contract. Commitments generally have
fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses which may require payment of a fee. Since we expect some commitments to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future loans. There were $26.0 million and $15.3 million in undisbursed loan commitments as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Table of Contents

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned ("OREO").
Non-performing loans are (i) loans which have been placed on non-accrual status; (ii) loans which are contractually past-due 90 days or more
with respect to principal or interest, have not been restructured or placed on non-accrual status, and are accruing interest; and (iii) troubled debt restructures ("TDRs"). OREO is
comprised of real estate acquired in satisfaction of a loan either through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

The
Bank had no non-performing assets at December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is comprised of three components: specific credit allocations, general portfolio
allocations, and subjective risk factors which are applied to determined allocations. The Bank accounts for problem loans in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for impairment of a Loan,"as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a LoanIncome Recognition and Disclosures."These pronouncements provide that when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all
amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan that such loan is deemed impaired. Impaired loans are accounted for differently in that the amount of the impairment is measured and reflected in
the records of the creditor. The allowance for credit losses related to loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on the discounted cash flows using the
loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. The general portfolio allocation consists of an assigned reserve percentage based
upon the credit rating of the loan. The subjective portion is determined based upon the Bank's evaluation of various factors including current economic conditions and trends in the portfolios
including delinquencies and impairment, as well as changes in the composition of the portfolio and economic market trends.

The
allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimately losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly by the Board of Directors of the Bank,
and reflect the adjustments, either positive or negative, from management or from the Bank Board's Loan Committee with the corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for loan losses. The
methodology used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses has been applied consistently and has been evaluated during the year 2009 by regulators and external auditing firms
for appropriateness.

There
were no charge-offs for year ended December 31, 2008. However, during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Bank recognized net charge-off of
approximately $990,000, representing approximately 1.41% of the Bank average gross loan portfolio for 2009.

The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 1.50% and 1.70% respectively.

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Deposits are the Bank's primary source of funds. We offer a range of deposit products. Deposits increased by $62.9 million, 131%
over the balance as of December 31, 2008 of $48.0 million ending the year of 2009 at $110.9 million. As of December 31, 2009, 27% of the Company's deposits were
non-interest bearing demand deposits down from 32% as of December 31, 2008. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits, however, increased year over year from 28% to
30%. At December 31, 2009, the Company had $16.5 million in short-term CDARS deposits, or 15% of total deposits in contrast to December 31, 2008, where the Company had
a limited amount (less than 2%) in 'reciprocal brokered deposits' under the CDARS program.

The
Bank has established borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") during 2008 and 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had borrowed from the FHLB
$12.0 million that was collateralized by both loans and securities. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had borrowed from the FHLB $9.5 million that was collateralized by both loans
and securities. The average rate that was paid
on FHLB borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 4.30% and 4.36%, respectively. See Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on this
Form 10-K for additional information related to the Bank's borrowing from the FHLB.

Regulatory Capital

Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, capital adequacy is measured (1) as a percentage of risk-adjusted
assets in which risk percentages are applied to assets on the balance sheet as well as off-balance sheet, such as unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit, and (2) as a
percentage of the most recent quarter's average tangible assets. The guidelines require that a portion of total capital be core, or Tier 1, capital consisting of common shareholder's equity
after removing the effects of unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities. Total capital consists of other elements, primarily allowance for loan losses.

As
discussed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, our capital exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements and exceeded the regulatory definition required to be
"Well Capitalized" as defined in the regulations issued by our regulatory agencies.

Liquidity and Liquidity Management

Liquidity management for banks requires that funds always be available to pay anticipated deposit withdrawals, fund loan commitments,
and to meet other commitments on a timely and cost effective basis. The acquisition of deposits is our primary source of funds. This relatively stable and low-cost source of funds has,
along with the initial balances in stockholders' equity, provided 100% of the funding for the initial operating period in 2007. During 2008, the Company's funding sources were expanded to included
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. During 2009, the Company accessed available short-term funds from the CDARS' one-way buy program to augment Company's
asset totals as of December 31, 2009.

The
Company's liquidity is reflected in its position as a net seller of overnight federal funds sold, including interest-bearing non-reserve balances held at the Federal
Reserve Bank, at a level that would cushion any unexpected increase in demand for funds or decrease in funds deposited. During 2009, we had an average balance of $14,223,000 in such available funds
representing 14% of our average assets. During 2008, we had an average balance of $8,274,000 in such funds representing 13% of our average assets. Both ratios were far above the minimum of 3%
established in the Company's liquidity policy.

To
meet liquidity needs, the Company maintains a portion of its funds in cash deposits in other banks, federal funds and investment securities. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
liquid assets (cash, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and available-for-sale investment securities that have not been pledged as
collateral) as a percentage of Company's deposits were 57% and 53%, respectively.

While
liquidity has not been a major concern in either 2009 or 2008, management has established secondary sources of liquidity. At present, the Bank maintains lines of credit totaling
$6 million with two correspondent banks for the purchase of overnight federal funds. The lines are subject to availability of funds and have restrictions as to the number of days used during
the month. Another method that the Bank currently has available for acquiring additional deposits is through the acceptance of "brokered deposits" (defined to include not only deposits acquired with
deposit brokers but also deposits bearing interest rates far above the local market rates), typically attracting large certificates of deposit at high interest rates. The Company has a limited amount
of "reciprocal brokered deposits" through the CDARS

program,
which totaled approximately $0 at December 31, 2009 and $902,000 at December 31, 2008. As noted the Bank elected to augment its year-end asset total by the purchase
of short-term one-way funds totaling $16.5 million at rates between 21 and 25 basis points.

During
2008, the Bank established a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Under the line of credit, the Bank may borrow against certain percentages of eligible
collateral as established by agreement but not more than 15% of the Bank's total assets. As of December 31, 2008, the line of credit was approximately $10,767,000, against which the Bank had
borrowed $9,500,000. As of December 31, 2009, the line of credit was approximately $16,503,000, against which the Bank had borrowed $12,000,000. See related discussion below under Deposits and Borrowed
Funds.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk results primarily from two sources: credit risk and interest rate risk. Risk management is an important part
of our operations and a key element of our overall financial results. Banking regulators, in recent years, have emphasized appropriate risk management, prompting banks to have adequate systems to
identify, monitor and manage risks. The Bank has both board and management committees who meet on a regular basis to oversee risk
functions. The Company's Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing internal auditing functions and for interfacing with the Company's external auditors. The Bank's Loan Committee establishes Loan
Policy, reviews loans made by management and approves loans in excess of management's lending authority. This committee is also responsible for reviewing any problem credits and assessing the adequacy
of our allowance for loan losses. The Asset/Liability Committee reviews investments made by management and monitors compliance with investment, interest rate risk and liquidity policies.

Credit Risk

Credit risk generally arises as a result of the Bank's lending activities but may also be present in the Bank's investment functions.
To manage the credit risk inherent in our lending activities, we rely on adherence to underwriting standards and loan policies as well as our allowance for loan losses. The Bank employs frequent
monitoring procedures and takes prompt corrective action when necessary. Additionally, the Bank's loan portfolio is expected to be examined on a regular basis by both regulatory agencies as well as by
independent loan review professionals.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure of a bank's financial condition and results of operations to adverse movements in interest rates.
Movements in interest rates affect both the generation of earnings as well as the market value of assets and liabilities. Interest rate risk results from more than just the differences in the maturity
or repricing opportunities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Other factors that affect the interest rate risk include changes in the slope of the yield curve over time,
imperfect correlation in the adjustment of rates earned and paid on different instruments with similar characteristics, interest-rate-related embedded options such as loan
floors, ceilings, and prepayments, as well as callable investment securities and early withdrawal of time deposits.

The
potential impact of interest rate risk is significant as it has related effects to liquidity and capital adequacy, the consequences of which may reduce earnings or increase losses.
While we recognize that interest rate risk is a routine part of banking operations, the objective of interest rate risk management is to measure, monitor and control exposure of net interest income to
excessive risks associated with interest rate movements.

Understanding
the inherent weakness in traditional gap analysis to properly measure interest rate risk, the Bank employs modeling techniques which measures the effect of interest rate
shocks on the net interest income and the market value of equity on the Bank's existing mix of assets and liabilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Manhattan Bancorp and Subsidiaries
EI Segundo, California

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Manhattan Bancorp and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manhattan Bancorp as of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

MANHATTAN BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        December 31, 2009

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Manhattan Bancorp (the "Bancorp") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bank of Manhattan, N.A. (the "Bank") and MBFS
Holdings, Inc., ("MBFS"), together referred to as the "Company" have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 8 of
Regulation S-X.

Nature of Operations

Manhattan Bancorp (the "Company") is a California corporation incorporated on August 8, 2006 for the purpose of becoming a bank
holding company and owning all of the stock of Bank of Manhattan, National Association (the "Bank") which is located in El Segundo, California. The Bank operates as a community bank, offering general
commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses and professionals in the South Bay, the Westside and the Los Angeles airport areas of Los Angeles County. The Bank commenced its
operations on August 15, 2007 after receiving approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

On
October 1, 2009, Manhattan Bancorp, through its wholly owned subsidiary, MBFS Holdings, Inc., acquired a 70% interest in Banc of Manhattan Capital, LLC, a
full-service mortgage-centric broker/dealer.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of Management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of results for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 have been included.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior presentations have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no
effect on shareholders' equity, net loss or loss-per-share amounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, non-interest deposits at other financial
institutions, and federal funds sold including interest-bearing deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank for and on behalf of the Bank.

MANHATTAN BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cash and Due from Banks

Banking regulations require that all banks maintain a percentage of their deposits as reserves in cash or on deposit with the Federal
Reserve Bank. The reserve required to be maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank was $510,000 and $145,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Bank maintains deposits with other
financial institutions in amounts that exceed federal deposit insurance coverage. Federal funds sold are similar to uncollateralized loans. Management regularly evaluates the credit risk of these
transactions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash or cash equivalents.

Interest-earning Deposits at Other Financial Institutions

Interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions represent short term deposits that mature over a period of 30 days to
two years and earn a higher rate of interest over that Bank's investment in federal funds sold. Investment balances are maintained under the federal deposit insurance level.

Investment Securities

Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost,
adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

Investments
not classified as held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Under the
available-for-sale classification, securities can be sold in response to certain conditions, such as changes in interest rates, fluctuations in deposit levels or loan demand,
or need to restructure the portfolio to better match the maturity or interest rate characteristics of
liabilities with assets. Securities classified as available-for-sale are accounted for at their current fair value rather than amortized historical cost. Unrealized gains or
losses are excluded from net income and reported as an amount net of taxes as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in shareholders' equity. Premiums or
discounts on held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are amortized or accreted into income using the interest method. Realized gains or
losses on sales of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities are recorded using the specific identification method. For mortgage-backed
securities, the amortization or accretion is based on the estimated average lives of the securities. The lives of these securities can fluctuate based upon the amount of prepayments received on the
underlying collateral of the securities.

At
each reporting date, investment securities are assessed to determine whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment. Prior to January 1, 2009, any
declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that were
other-than-temporary, would have resulted in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value and included in earnings as realized losses. The Company did not
record any such write-downs in 2008. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has
been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

MANHATTAN BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In
April 2009, accounting standards were revised to provide expanded guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments of
debt securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments
in the financial statements. These rules require an entity to recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the
noncredit component in other comprehensive income when the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the entity will not be required to sell the security prior to
recovery. These new rules also require expanded disclosures. The guidance does not change the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment for equity securities.

Loans and Interest on Loans

The Company currently extends credit to its customers in the form of commercial, commercial real estate and consumer loans. Loans are
reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income. Unearned income, which includes deferred fees and deferred loan origination costs, is amortized and included in interest income
over the life of the loan using the interest method whenever possible.

Interest
income is recognized on an accrual basis daily and credited to income based upon the principal amount outstanding.

The
accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan becomes 90-days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of
collection. In some cases, loans can be placed on a non-accrual status or be charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

For
all interest income that has been accrued but not yet collected, if a loan is either placed on a non-accrual status or has been charged-off, the unpaid
accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income. Subsequently, interest income is recognized only to the extent of cash payments received.

The
Company considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of
the loan agreement. Measurement of impairment is based on the expected future cash flows of an impaired loan, which are to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or measured by reference
to an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral for a collateral-dependent loan. The Company selects the measurement method on a loan-by-loan
basis except that collateral-dependent loans for which foreclosure is probable are measured at the fair value of collateral. The entire change in the present value of expected cash flows is reported
as either a provision for credit losses in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized, or as a reduction in the amount of provision for credit losses that otherwise would be
reported. The Company recognizes interest income on impaired loans based on its existing methods of recognizing interest income on nonaccrual loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is based upon estimates and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed
periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are recorded in the results of operations in the periods in which they become known. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses
charged to expense. The balance of a loan deemed uncollectible is

48

Table of Contents

MANHATTAN BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2009

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

charged
against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Management
performs periodic credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers current economic conditions, historical credit loss experiences and other factors in determining the
adequacy of the allowance. Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory
and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan
losses and such agencies may require the Company to recognize additional provisions to the allowance based upon judgments that differ from those of management.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate
the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, which ranges from three to seven years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
estimated useful lives of the improvements but not more than the remaining lease term with extensions, whichever is shorter. The straight-line method of depreciation is followed for
financial reporting purposes, while both accelerated and straight-line methods are followed for income tax purposes. Expenditures for improvements and major repairs are capitalized and
those for ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

Nonmarketable Securities

Regulatory requirements may require that the Company invest in the stock of certain organizations. Such stocks are considered
restricted equity securities. Other investments, such as stock in bankers' banks, may offer cash and non-cash benefits to its shareholders although no market quotations exist. Such
holdings have been recorded at cost in the Company's balance sheets.

Goodwill

The Company had engaged in the acquisition of a Broker/Dealer which began its operation prior to date when the acquisition occurred.
The Company paid a premium on this acquisition, and such a premium is recorded as an intangible asset in the form of goodwill.

Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting practice, goodwill is not amortized
whereas identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. On an annual basis, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment. The carrying value of the
Goodwill was $279,391 as of December 31, 2009. The assessment of the impairment of the goodwill carried on the Company's books will first occur during 2010.

Other Real Estate Owned

It is the Company's policy that all real estate properties that would be acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure would be
initially recorded at the lower of fair value or cost, less estimated costs to sell, at

49

the
date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations would be periodically performed by management and the real estate would be carried at the lower of cost or fair
value minus costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and additions to the valuation allowance would be included in other expenses. The Company does not have any Other Real Estate Owned at
December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Commitments and Letters of Credit

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby
letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable. The credit risk associated with these commitments, when indistinguishable from the
underlying funded loan, is considered in our determination of the allowance for loan losses. Other liabilities in the balance sheet include the portion of the allowance which was distinguishable and
related to undrawn commitments to extend credit.

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted the most current accounting guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or
expected to be taken on a tax return and provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more
likely than not to be sustained on audit by taxing authorities. Management believes that all tax positions taken to date are highly certain and, accordingly, no accounting adjustment has been made to
the financial statements. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of income tax expense.

Deferred
income taxes are recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to income tax carry forwards as well as temporary differences between income tax and financial
reporting purposes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at
currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted accordingly through the provision for income taxes.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company has adopted current accounting guidance which requires the disclosure of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.
Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities is the only component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the Company.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available (loss reported) to common stock divided by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period reported on the

Statement
of Operations. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any
adjustment to income that would result from the assumed conversion. There were no dilutive potential common shares outstanding at December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008. The weighted
average number of shares used to calculate loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 3,987,631. The weighted average number of shares for the year ended December 31, 2008
was 2,566,919.

Equity Compensation Plans

The Company's 2007 Stock Option Plan ("Plan") provides for the issuance of up to 732,789 shares of the Company's common stock upon the
exercise of incentive and non-qualified options. The Plan was approved on August 10, 2007 by the Company's Board of Directors and the then existing shareholders and expires in 2017.

The
Company has adopted the current accounting practice that generally requires entities to recognize the cost of recipient service received in exchange for awards of stock options, or
other equity instruments in the statement of income based upon the grant date's fair values for the award.

The
Plan provides that each option must have an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant, have a term no longer than ten years, and can vest
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company. The cost is recognized over the period in which the recipient is required to provide services in exchange for the award, generally the vesting
period.

Fair Value Measurement

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the accounting guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies
assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The impact of this new accounting guidance is not material. Applicable disclosures are presented in these
consolidated financial statements.

In
February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued instructions that delayed the effective date of fair value measurement for all non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

In
April 2009, accounting standards were amended to provide additional guidance for determining whether a market is inactive and a transaction is distressed in order to apply the
existing fair value measurement guidance as described above. In addition, the guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value.
Adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2009.

Current
accounting literature defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also

a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The literature describes
three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

New Accounting Pronouncements

GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:    In June 2009, accounting standards were revised to establish the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (the "Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user
access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009, and as of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents were superseded. The Company adopted the Codification for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and all subsequent statements will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.

BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS:    Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance that applies to all transactions and other events in which one
entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. The guidance requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of
acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process
required under old accounting literature whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. The new guidance requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather than allocating such costs to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case. Accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities would have to be met in order to accrue for a restructuring
plan in purchase accounting. Pre-acquisition contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a non-contractual contingency that is not likely to materialize, in
which case, nothing should be recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria delineated in the FASB statement
related to accounting for contingencies. Subsequent accounting literature released during 2009 amends the new accounting guidance to require that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated, removes subsequent accounting guidance for assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies and requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies. It also eliminates the
requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the acquisition date.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS:    In May 2009, accounting standards were revised to require that management must evaluate, as of the end of each reporting period, events or transactions
that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued, or are available to be issued, and to disclose the date through which the evaluation has been made.
The Company is required to evaluate whether events subsequent to the end of the reporting period require disclosure or recognition through the date the financial statements are issued. The adoption of
these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations.

Note 2. Interest-Earning Assets with Other Financial Institutions

At December 31, 2009, the Company had interest-earning deposits with other financial institutions of $3.5 million with a weighted average yield of 1.81%, and an average
weighted remaining life of approximately 3.4 months. At December 31, 2008, the Company had interest-earning deposits with other financial institutions of $4.2 million with a
weighted average yield of 2.55%, and an average weighted remaining life of approximately 2.3 months.

The
fair value of these securities is based upon quoted market prices. There were no realized gains or losses for the year ended December 31, 2009 or for the operating period
ended December 31, 2008.

The
net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was
$305,152, after reflecting a reduction in the aggregate gain by $2,336. The net unrealized gain on available-for sale as of December 31, 2008 was $307,488 with the net increase of
$249,330 included in accumulated other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Securities
with a fair market value of $5,109,000 at December 31, 2009 were pledged to secure borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). Securities with a fair market
value of $6,118,000 at December 31, 2008 were pledged to secure borrowings from the FHLB.

Management
does not believe that any of the Company's investment securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Declines in the fair value of
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 3. Investment Securities (Continued)

other-than-temporary
losses, management considers among other things (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
(ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, management believes that the gross unrealized losses detailed in the table above
are temporary and no impairment loss should be realized in the Company's Statement of Operations.

At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no securities with unrealized losses which were in a continual loss position for greater than 12 months.

Unrealized
losses and fair value, aggregated by investment categories that individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than 12 months, are
summarized as follows:

The
amortized cost, estimated fair value and average yield of debt securities at December 31, 2009 are shown below. In the case of securities available for sale, the average
yields are based on effective rates of book balances at year-end. Yields are derived by dividing interest income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, by total
amortized cost. Mortgage-backed securities are classified in accordance with estimated lives. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay
obligations.

Note 7. Borrowing Arrangements

Overnight borrowing:The Bank has established borrowing lines with correspondent banks totaling
$6,000,000 on an unsecured basis from two of its correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2009, no amounts were outstanding under this arrangement.

Federal Home Loan Bank Line of Credit:Since 2008, the Bank has maintained a line of credit with FHLB. The maximum amount the Bank may
borrow under
this agreement is limited to the lesser of a percentage of eligible collateral as established by agreement or 15% of the Bank's total assets. At December 31, 2009 remaining financing
availability from the FHLB was $ 4,500,000. FHLB advances are collateralized by loans and securities with a remaining borrowing capacity with existing collateral of approximately $12,582,000 secured
by loans and securities. The Bank has pledged approximately $4.8 million in securities and $37.9 million in loans to the FHLB as of December 31, 2009.

At
December 31, 2009, the scheduled maturities of FHLB advances are as follows:

Note 8. Employee Benefits Plans

The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan for all employees and permits voluntary contributions of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company's Board of Directors
approved a contribution for both 2009 and 2008 matching 100% of the employee's contribution up to the first 3% of the employee's total compensation and matching 50% of the employee's contribution up
to the next 2% of the employee's total compensation. The Company's expense relating to the contributions made to the 401(k) was approximately $122,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and
approximately $95,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Participants
are 100% vested in their own voluntary contributions. The Company's matching contribution was made using "safe harbor" guidelines, which must be elected each year by the
Company's Board. "Safe Harbor" contributions are immediately vested.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation

Under the terms of the approved Company's 2007 Stock Option Plan, employees of the Company or its subsidiaries may be granted both nonqualified and incentive stock options and directors
of the Company and its subsidiaries, who are not also employees, may be granted nonqualified stock options. The Plan provides for options to purchase 732,789 shares of common stock at a price not less
than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The Plan provides for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control, as defined by the Plan. During the year ended
December 31, 2009, the Company recorded $783,000 of stock-based compensation expense. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded $691,000 of stock-based compensation
expense. At December 31, 2009, unrecorded

The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of options. The Company utilizes assumptions on expected life, risk-free rate, expected
volatility and dividend yield to determine such values. If grants were to occur, the Company would estimate the life of the options by calculating the average of the vesting period and the contractual
life. The risk-free rate would be based upon treasury instruments in effect at the time of the grant whose terms are consistent with the expected life of the Company's stock options.
Expected volatility would be based on historical volatility of other financial institutions within the Company's operating area as the Company has limited market history.

The

Note 10. Stockholders' Equity

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock.

On
May 14, 2008, the Company signed a Stock Purchase Agreement with Carpenter Fund Manager GP, LLC ("Carpenter") for the sale of 1,500,000 share of the common stock
of the company at a price of $10 per share. The agreement contemplated two separate closings. In the first closing, which occurred on June 10, 2008, a total of 128,175 shares were issued. In
the second closing, which occurred on December 30, 2008, the remaining 1,371,825 shares were issued. The private placement provided the Company with $14,898,454 net of related expenses of
$101,546.

The
Company elected to participate in the U.S. Treasury's voluntary Capital Purchase Program ("CPP"). On December 5, 2008 the Treasury purchased 1,700 shares of the Company's
Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("Preferred Stock") at a liquidation amount of $1,000 per share providing the Company with $1,678,934 net of related expenses of
$21,066. The "Preferred Stock"

pays
a cumulative dividend at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year.

In
conjunction with this purchase, the Company granted the Treasury a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 29,480 additional shares of the Company's common stock at $8.65 per share
subject to the standard terms and conditions of CPP. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expired on December 5, 2018.

With
the receipt of funds from the private placement from Carpenter in late December 2008, and with the increasing requirements associated with the funds associated with the CPP of
Troubled Asset Relief Program, commonly referred to as TARP, the Company sought permission to repurchase the 1,700 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock. Following necessary regulatory approval, the
Company paid $1,707,319 to redeem the Preferred Stock, which included the final accrued dividend of $7,319 on September 16, 2009.

On
October 9, 2009, the Company was notified by the United States Department of the Treasury of its acceptance of the Company's offer to redeem the outstanding Warrant for the
29,480 additional shares of the Company's common stock at a total price of $63,364. The redemption of the Warrant occurred on October 14, 2009.

Note 11. Income Taxes

Other than the minimum state franchise tax of $1,600, the Company and its subsidiaries had no other income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the year
ended December 31, 2008. This was the result of net operating losses for both periods, with deferred tax assets remaining unrecorded, since their realization is dependent on probable future
taxable income. Deferred taxes are a result of differences between income tax accounting and generally accepted accounting principles with respect to income and expense recognition. The Company has
established a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had federal net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $9.1 million that will
start expiring in 2026 and a state net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $8.8 million that will start expiring in 2026.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had the following outstanding financial commitments whose contractual amount represents credit risk:

Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition in the loan contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since the Company expects some commitments to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily
represent future loans.

Note 13. Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements and operations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures

of
the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accepted accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require both the Company and the Bank to maintain the following minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). As of
December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable capital adequacy requirements.

Under
the Federal Reserve Board's guidelines, Manhattan Bancorp is a "small bank holding company," and thus qualifies for an exemption from the consolidated risk-based and
leverage capital adequacy guidelines applicable to bank holding companies with assets of $500 million or more. However, while not required to do so under the Federal Reserve Board's capital
adequacy guidelines, the Company still maintains levels of capital on a consolidated basis which qualify it as "well capitalized."

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Current accounting practice defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based upon relevant

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

market
information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss
experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of
judgment and, therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair
value estimates are based on financial instruments both on and off the balance sheet without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets
and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Additionally, tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a potential effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in many of the estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:

Financial Assets

The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments are considered to approximate fair value. Short-term
investments include federal funds
sold and interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions. The fair value of investment securities are generally based upon quoted market prices. The fair value of loans are estimated using
a combination of techniques, including discounting estimated future cash flows and quoted market prices of similar instruments where available.

Financial Liabilities

The carrying amount of deposit liabilities payable on demand are considered to approximate fair value. For fixed maturity deposits,
fair value is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using currently offered rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term debt is based
upon rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter
into similar agreements. The fair value of these financial instruments is not material.

policies and procedures that:



There
are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even
effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may
vary over time. The system contains monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies identified.
