Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 27, 2010, 1st Pacific Bancorp (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) announced selected financial results as of and for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. A copy of the related press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Further information required by this item is disclosed under Item 4.02 below and incorporated by reference.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

We notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on January 27, 2010, of our intent to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2010, to delist our Common Stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), from Nasdaq effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. We have decided to voluntarily delist from Nasdaq as part of our overall strategy of conserving resources and improving cost effectiveness.

As previously disclosed on December 11, 2009, we received two letters from Nasdaq notifying us that we are failing to meet the minimum bid price requirement of $1 per share for continued listing, and the minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

Pursuant to the Form 25, our Common Stock will no longer be traded on Nasdaq as of the tenth day after the Form 25 is filed, which we expect to be February 18, 2010. We are working with a market maker to have our Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We will continue to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Also on January 27, 2010, we issued a press release announcing that we sent the aforementioned notice to Nasdaq. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

On January 21, 2010, our board of directors (the “Board”), in consultation with our management, and after working closely with our regulators, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the California Department of Financial Institutions, determined that the previously issued consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed November 16, 2009, should be restated, primarily to reflect an additional provision to our allowance for loan losses of $8.8 million and to increase the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets by $5.3 million. Accordingly, the previously issued consolidated financial statements for such period should not be relied upon.

The increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, resulting from this restatement, amounts to approximately $8.8 million and is the consequence of two significant factors:

· to enhance the Bank’s process for determining, documenting and recording an adequate allowance for loan losses (the “ALLL”), the Bank adopted a new model and, working closely with the Bank’s regulators, determined that the new methodology should be adopted and reflected in the quarterly results for September 30, 2009, resulting in an increase of approximately $3.4 million to the ALLL, and

· as a result of the determination to restate the September results, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Bank reassessed its evaluation of potential impairment losses required by ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” on two specific loans and determined that an additional impairment allocation of approximately $5.3 million was necessary due to current information obtained regarding the valuation of the underlying loan collateral.

Furthermore, as a result of the increase in the Company’s reported losses, we increased the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, which resulted in an increase in deferred tax expense of approximately $5.3 million.

Finally, in regards to the two impaired loans mentioned above, the Company increased reported impairment write downs, or charge-offs, by approximately $6.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, approximately $1.6 million of which had been previously recognized as impairment reserves in the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2009.

The changes noted above will be reflected in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which we intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable. In that report, we expect to report a net loss of approximately $15.9 million (or $3.19 diluted loss per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 rather than the previously reported net loss of $1.9 million (or $0.37 diluted loss per share), and a net loss for the first nine months of 2009 of approximately $17.2 million (or $3.45 diluted loss per share) rather than the previously reported net loss of $3.1 million (or $0.63 diluted loss per share).

The Board, through its audit committee, has discussed with Vavrinek, Trine, Day & Co., LLP, who serves as our current independent registered public accounting firm, the matters disclosed in this report on Form 8-K.
