BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2004

 

NOTE (1) – Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and pursuant to the instructions for Form 10-QSB and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the management of Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”), the preceding unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the results of their operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

NOTE (2) – Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period (1,470,702 and 1,794,153 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and 1,611,361 and 1,790,925 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively). Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of Common Stock equivalents, (1,563,834 and 1,889,532 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and 1,708,699 and 1,884,063 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively).

 

NOTE (3) – Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows in the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows”, cash and cash equivalents include cash and federal funds sold.

 

NOTE (4) – Current Accounting Pronouncements

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. Prior to FIN 46R, a company included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46R also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that the company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. The consolidated requirements of FIN 46R apply to all Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”) by the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46R for interests held by public entities in variable interest entities that are not SPEs are required to be applied by the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004. The implementation of FIN 46R has not had a material financial impact on us.

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”), expected interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that will be held for sale must be accounted for as derivatives and marked to market in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). All other interest rate lock commitments are excluded from SFAS 133, pursuant to SFAS 149. In October 2003, the FASB decided to add a project to its agenda that would clarify how fair value should be measured for interest rate lock derivatives. To our knowledge, no timetable has been established yet for the completion of this project.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

In the meantime, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 (“SAB 105”). SAB 105 requires that fair-value measurement include only differences between the guaranteed interest rate in the loan commitment and a market interest rate, excluding any expected future cash flows related to the customer relationship or loan servicing. Servicing assets are to be recognized only once the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or securitization of the loan with servicing retained. The guidance in SAB 105 must be applied to interest rate locks initiated after March 31, 2004 and is to be applied prospectively. SAB 105 has not had a material financial impact on us.

 

On December 12, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP 03-3”). SOP 03-3 requires acquired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over or creation of valuation allowances and initial accounting. SOP 03-3 also limits the yield that may be accreted to income. SOP 03-3 applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004.

 

NOTE (5) – Stock-based Compensation Plans

 

The Company has stock-based compensation plans (the “Plans”), which provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to employees and directors. The Plans authorize 457,124 shares (adjusted for stock dividends and splits) of Common Stock to be available for issuance under the Plans. Stock options granted under the Plans are exercisable over vesting periods specified in each Plan and, unless exercised, the options terminate ten years from the date of the grant. The option price must be no less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date the options are granted. At June 30, 2004, the Company had 368,869 shares of treasury stock that may be issued on the exercise of options or for payment of other awards.

 

The Company measures its employee stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Option No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the Plans, as stock options were granted at fair value at the date of grant. Had compensation expense for the Plans been determined based on the fair value method provision of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for previous awards, the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated for the quarters below:

NOTE (6) – Junior Subordinated Debentures

 

On March 17, 2004, the Company issued $6.0 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures in a private placement to fund the purchase of shares from Hot Creek Ventures 1, L.P. and its affiliates (“Hot Creek”) as described in Note (7) below. The debentures mature in 10 years and interest is payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.54%. The initial interest rate is 3.65%.

 

NOTE (7) – Capital Transactions

 

On March 18, 2004, the Company purchased the holdings of Hot Creek in the Company’s Common Stock, consisting of 410,312 shares, at a price of $14.00 per share and Hot Creek agreed, with certain exceptions, not to acquire shares of the Company’s stock in the future. The Company also signed a stock purchase agreement with Cathay General Bancorp (“Cathay”) providing for the sale by the Company of up to 215,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Cathay at a price of $13.50 per share, subject to the receipt by Cathay of required regulatory approval for the transaction. The Company also announced its intent to make a public tender offer for up to 183,251 shares of Common Stock, constituting 10% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding at December 31, 2003, at a price of $14.00 per share upon completion of the stock sale to Cathay. The agreement with Cathay contains a standstill provision under which Cathay has agreed not to acquire additional shares of Broadway Financial Corporation stock. Cathay has informed the Company that its proposed investment in the Company is intended to support the Company in its role as a provider of banking services to the minority communities in the Company’s market area, as part of Cathay’s desire to be responsive to opportunities to serve under the Community Reinvestment Act.

 

Subsequent to entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cathay withdrew its previously submitted regulatory application for approval of the transaction after discussion with its banking regulators. On June 11, 2004, Cathay purchased 70,000 shares of the contemplated total of up to 215,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which it could do without obtaining regulatory approval. Cathay has informed the Company that it will defer pursuing regulatory approval of the purchase of the remaining up to 145,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock until later this year. Based on discussions with Cathay, the Company currently believes that the remaining stock sale to Cathay, and the public tender will not occur before December 31, 2004.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Certain statements under this caption may constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, competition in the geographic and business areas in which operations are conducted, fluctuations in market interest rates, credit quality and government regulation.

 

General

 

Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is primarily engaged in the savings and loan business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (“Broadway Federal” or the “Bank”). Broadway Federal is a community-oriented savings institution dedicated to serving the African-American, Hispanic and other communities of Mid-City and South Los Angeles, California. Broadway Federal’s business is that of a financial intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make mortgage loans secured by residential real estate located in Southern California. At June 30, 2004, Broadway Federal operated four retail-banking offices in Mid-City and South Los Angeles. Broadway Federal is subject to significant competition from other financial institutions, and is also subject to regulation by federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Broadway Federal, Broadway Financial Funding, LLC and BankSmart, Inc. (a dormant company). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

The Company’s principal business is serving as a holding company for Broadway Federal. The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on Broadway Federal’s net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Broadway Federal also generates recurring non-interest income, such as transactional fees on its loan and deposit portfolios. The Company’s operating results are affected by the amount of provisions for loan losses and the Bank’s non-interest expenses, which consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, and technology and communication costs. More generally, the results of operations of thrift and banking institutions are also affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies.

 

Critical Accounting Policy

 

Accounting for the allowance for loan losses involves significant judgments and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of net loans receivable. Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience, current economic trends, the Company’s assessment of the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance, and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances as described under the heading “Loans Receivable and the Allowance for Loan Losses” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months and Six Months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003

 

General

 

The Company recorded net earnings of $437,000 and $904,000, or $0.27 and $0.51 per diluted share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $356,000 and $720,000, or $0.18 and $0.36 per diluted share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. Compared to 2003, second quarter net earnings increased 22.75% and net earnings for the six months increased 25.56%.

 

Net Earnings

 

The change in net earnings, comparing 2004 to 2003, was primarily attributable to the increase in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Net interest income increased $268,000 and $558,000, or 12.78% and 13.44%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same periods in 2003. Non-interest income increased $19,000 and $111,000, or 5.49% and 17.48%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same periods in 2003. Non-interest expense increased $141,000 and $340,000, or 7.58% and 9.42%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the same periods in 2003.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income increased to $2.4 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, from $2.1 million and $4.2 million for the same periods in 2003. A six-month rate/volume analysis indicates that the $558,000 increase in net interest income in the first six months of 2004 over 2003 was primarily attributable to the impact of the growth in average interest-earning assets of $31.0 million, or 15.10%, and average interest-bearing liabilities of $32.8 million, or 17.03%, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of $856,000 (volume impact), offset by the impact of a decrease in the net interest rate spread of 2 basis points (rate impact), which resulted in a decrease in net interest income of $298,000.

 

Gross loan originations were $35.5 million and $68.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $11.3 million and $19.0 million for the same periods in 2003. Loans purchases totaled $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. Loan prepayments amounted to $10.9 million and $21.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $14.4 million and $23.1 million for the same periods in 2003. The drop in loan prepayments in the second quarter of 2004 reflects the effect of rising interest rates. If rates continue to rise during the remainder of the year, prepayments may be expected to continue to decrease. Loans receivable, net grew $35.5 million, or 18.50%, to $227.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $192.1 million at December 31, 2003.

Table of Contents

Interest-bearing liabilities increased $12.5 million during the second quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the net effect of an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances of $15.3 million, offset by a decrease in deposits of $2.7 million. The decrease in deposits is primarily due to the withdrawal of $3.0 million by a non-profit organization, which the Company anticipates will be redeposited before year-end 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest-bearing liabilities increased $27.7 million. This increase was comprised of an increase in deposits of $4.1 million, an increase in FHLB advances of $17.6 million and the issuance of junior subordinated debentures of $6.0 million.

 

The net interest rate spread for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.82% and 3.91%, respectively, compared 3.88% and 3.93%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. The 6 and 2 basis points decreases in spread were attributable to the larger decline in the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets compared to the decline in the weighted average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest-earning assets declined 15 and 23 basis points to 5.66% and 5.72%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 from 5.81% and 5.95%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. The weighted average cost of funds declined 9 and 21 basis points to 1.84% and 1.81%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 1.93% and 2.02%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. The primary spread (weighted average interest rate on loans minus weighted average interest rate on deposits) at June 30, 2004 was 4.07% compared to 4.73% at June 30, 2003, a decline of 66 basis points.

 

Non-interest Income

 

Total non-interest income increased to $365,000 and $746,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, from $346,000 and $635,000 for the same periods in 2003. The $19,000 increase for the second quarter was primarily attributable to an $86,000 gain on sale of $8.5 million of loans held for sale, offset by an $8,000 loss on sale of securities and a $62,000 decrease in service charges. The decrease in service charges was primarily attributable to the Bank exiting its cash delivery services to check cashing businesses.

 

Non-interest Expense

 

Total non-interest expense increased to $2.0 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, from $1.9 million and $3.6 million for the same periods in 2003. The $141,000 increase for the second quarter was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and benefits costs, principally higher performance bonus accruals.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

As of June 30, 2004, the Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $1.3 million, unchanged from the balance at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses represents 0.57% of gross loans at June 30, 2004 compared to 0.67% at December 31, 2003.

 

Total non-performing assets, consisting of non-accrual loans, decreased by $1,000 to $79,000 at June 30, 2004 from $80,000 at December 31, 2003. Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2004 consisted of one loan totaling $79,000 secured by a single-family dwelling. There was no REO as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. As a percentage of total assets, non-performing assets were 0.03% at June 30, 2004, compared to 0.03% at December 31, 2003.

 

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover inherent losses in Broadway Federal’s loan portfolio as of June 30, 2004, but there can be no assurance that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation periodically review Broadway Federal’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process. These agencies may require Broadway Federal to increase the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of the information available to them at the time of their examination.

Deposits

 

Total deposits increased $4.1 million, or 2.30%, to $184.0 million from $179.9 million at December 31, 2003. Core deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) increased by $5.9 million during the first six months of 2004. At June 30, 2004, core deposits represented 45.02% of total deposits, compared to 42.77% at December 31, 2003, and 44.59% at June 30, 2003. Management has focused on increasing core deposit customers, extending deposit maturities on time deposits, and closely managing the cost of deposits.

 

Capital

 

Total capital at June 30, 2004 was $14.3 million, compared to $18.2 million at December 31, 2003. The $3.9 million decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of the Company’s common stock from Hot Creek Ventures 1, L.P. and its affiliates, offset by the sale of the Company’s common stock to Cathay General Bancorp (“Cathay”) and net earnings for the period.

 

Performance Ratios

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company’s return on average equity increased to 12.79%, compared to 8.03% for the same period in 2003. The return on average assets also increased to 0.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 0.65% for the same period in 2003. The ratio of non-interest expense to average assets improved to 3.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 3.41% for the same period in 2003. The efficiency ratio (total non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income) improved to 73.33% in second quarter 2004, compared to 76.18% in second quarter 2003.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 39.97% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 38.82% for the same periods in the prior year. Income taxes are computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34.00% and the California income tax rate of 10.84% to earnings before income taxes.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Market Risk

 

Sources of liquidity and capital for the Company on a stand-alone basis include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of equity and debt securities, such as the preferred stock issued in 2002, the junior subordinated debentures issued during the first quarter of 2004 and the sale of 70,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Cathay during the second quarter of 2004. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory restrictions. (See Note (7) of Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements)

 

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, sales of loans, mortgage-backed securities and investments, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Other sources of liquidity include principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and contributions of capital by the Company.

 

Since December 31, 2003, there has been no material change in the Company’s interest rate sensitivity. For a discussion on the Company’s interest rate sensitivity and market risk, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003, including the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto.

 

Regulatory Capital

 

The OTS capital regulations include three separate minimum capital requirements for savings institutions that are subject to OTS supervision. First, the tangible capital requirement mandates that the Bank’s stockholder’s equity, less intangible assets, be at least 1.50% of adjusted total assets as defined in the capital regulations. Second, the core capital requirement currently mandates that core capital (tangible capital plus certain qualifying intangible assets) be at least 4.00% of adjusted total assets as defined in the capital regulations. Third, the risk-based capital requirement presently mandates that core capital plus supplemental capital (as defined by the OTS) be at least 8.00% of risk-weighted assets as prescribed in the capital regulations. The capital regulations assign specific risk weightings to all assets and off-balance sheet items for this purpose.
