NOTE (1) – Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the “Bank”). Also included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements is Broadway Service Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. 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, 2007 and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

NOTE (2) – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On March 19, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement 133. Statement 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivative and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management does not anticipate this Statement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE (3) – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period, increased for the dilutive effect of Common Stock equivalents.

The following table shows how we computed basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE (4) – Fair Value

Statement 157 establishes 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 standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

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 and non-residential real estate located primarily in Southern California. At June 30, 2008, Broadway Federal operated five retail-banking offices in Mid-City and South Los Angeles and two loan production offices in Irvine and Torrance. 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 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.

Results of Operations

Net Earnings

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2008 were $696,000, or $0.36 per diluted share, up $454,000, or 187.60%, when compared with net earnings of $242,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in net earnings was primarily due to increased interest-earning assets and a higher net interest margin.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net earnings totaled $1.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, up $0.6 million, or 89.94%, when compared with net earnings of $0.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 was up $820,000, or 30.24%, from the second quarter a year ago. The increase was attributable to continued growth in our interest-earning assets and improvement in our net interest rate margin. Interest-earning assets averaged $371.4 million in the current quarter, up $73.7 million, or 24.74%, from the same period a year ago. Our net interest margin improved 16 basis points to 3.80% in the current quarter from 3.64% for the same period a year ago. Our net interest rate spread improved 19 basis points to 3.68% in the current quarter from 3.49% for the same period a year ago. The 19 basis point improvement in our net interest rate spread was attributable to the larger decline in the annualized cost of our average interest-bearing liabilities, compared to the decline in the annualized yield on our average interest-earning assets.

The annualized yield on our average interest-earning assets decreased 8 basis points to 6.76% in the current quarter from 6.84% for the same period a year ago. The decrease was the result of lower annualized yield on our average loans which decreased 18 basis points to 7.03% for the second quarter of 2008 from 7.21% for the same period in 2007.

Table of Contents

The annualized cost of our average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 27 basis points to 3.08% in the current quarter from 3.35% for the same period a year ago. The annualized weighted average cost of deposits decreased 41 basis points to 2.66% in the second quarter of 2008 from 3.07% for the same period in 2007. The annualized weighted average cost of FHLB borrowings decreased 11 basis points to 3.92% in the second quarter of 2008 from 4.03% for the same period in 2007. The decrease in the cost of our average interest-bearing liabilities was the result of lower short-term interest rates and maturities of higher costing time deposits and FHLB borrowings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $6.9 million, up $1.4 million, or 26.56%, from a year ago, as a result of increased average interest-earning assets and higher net interest margin.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was reduced slightly to $159,000 for second quarter 2008 compared to $164,000 for second quarter 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the provision for loan losses totaled $317,000 compared to $184,000 of provision in the year-ago period. The increase in loan loss provision was primarily due to higher loan originations.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $366,000 in the second quarter of 2008, up $43,000, or 13.31%, from the second quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher loan related fees and higher net gains on mortgage banking activities. The growth in loan related fees primarily resulted from increased payments of late charges.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income totaled $662,000, up $22,000, or 3.44%, from a year ago. The increase primarily reflected higher net gains on mortgage banking activities.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2008, up $108,000, or 4.32%, from the second quarter a year ago. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense and occupancy expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased $120,000, or 8.63%, primarily due to higher bonus expense. Bonus expense for the second quarter of 2008 increased $95,000 as a result of improved profitability in 2008. Also contributing to the increase in compensation and benefits expense for the second quarter of 2008 was higher temporary personnel expense and increased health insurance costs. Occupancy expense increased $67,000, or 24.28%, primarily due to the addition of a new branch. Partially offsetting the increases in compensation and benefits expense and occupancy expense was a $60,000, or 17.05%, decrease in other expense, as the year-ago quarter included a $125,000 expense to settle a personnel matter. Professional services expense also decreased $35,000, or 20.47%, primarily due to lower consulting fees related to Sarbanes Oxley compliance and lower legal expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest expense totaled $5.1 million, up $0.3 million, or 6.35%, from a year ago, primarily reflecting higher compensation and benefits expense, occupancy expense and other expense which was partially offset by lower professional services expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased primarily due to higher bonus expense. Occupancy expense primarily increased due to the addition of a new branch. Other expense increased primarily due to increases in donations, sponsorships, promotion and FDIC insurance premiums. Professional services expense decreased primarily due to lower consulting fees related to Sarbanes Oxley compliance and lower legal expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 38.46% for second quarter 2008 compared to 34.77% for second quarter 2007. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 38.25% compared to 36.72% for the same period 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.

Financial Condition

Assets, Loan Originations, Deposits and Borrowings

At June 30, 2008, assets totaled $390.6 million, up $33.8 million, or 9.46%, from year-end 2007. During the first half of 2008, net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $33.9 million, cash and cash equivalents increased $2.8 million and FHLB stock increased $0.9 million, while securities held to maturity decreased $3.7 million.

Loan originations, including purchases, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $68.4 million, up $14.9 million, or 27.85%, from $53.5 million a year ago. Loan repayments, including loan sales, amounted to $34.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, down $2.0 million, or 5.43%, from $36.8 million for the same period a year ago.

Deposits totaled $254.1 million at June 30, 2008, up $25.4 million, or 11.10%, from year-end 2007. During the first half of 2008, our core deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) increased $10.1 million and our certificates of deposit increased $15.3 million. The growth in our deposits was the result of new product offerings such as our Online Anniversary account, Flex Money Market account and Flex CD account. Additionally, a substantial portion of the increase in certificates of deposit was from brokered deposits. At June 30, 2008, core deposits represented 40.50% of total deposits compared to 40.61% at December 31, 2007, and brokered deposits represented 19.92% of total deposits compared to 15.32% at December 31, 2007.

Since the end of 2007, FHLB borrowings increased $4.2 million, or 4.35%, to $100.7 million at June 30, 2008 from $96.5 million at December 31, 2007. The Company continued to utilize FHLB advances to fund loans as an additional alternative to retail deposits. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company borrowed $2.5 million from its line of credit with First Federal Bank, which the Company invested into the Bank.

Allowance for Loan Losses

At June 30, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $2.4 million, or 0.72% of total gross loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, compared to $2.1 million, or 0.68% of total gross loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, at year-end 2007.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2008, but there can be no assurance that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. The Bank is experiencing increased delinquencies which may necessitate the provision of additional loan loss reserves. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation periodically review the allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process. These agencies may require an increase to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of the information available to them at the time of their examination.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets, consisting of non-accrual and delinquent loans 90 or more days past due, at June 30, 2008 were $1.5 million, or 0.38% of total assets, compared to $34,000, or 0.01% of total assets, at December 31, 2007. During the first half of 2008, three loans totaling $1.5 million were placed on non-accrual status. The new non-accrual loans included a $1.3 million loan secured by a church property located in Rancho Cucamonga, California and two unsecured lines of credit totaling $110,000. No significant losses are anticipated on these new non-accrual loans. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Bank had no loans in foreclosure or REO (real estate owned) properties.

Performance Ratios

The annualized return on average equity for second quarter 2008 was 12.18%, compared to 8.66% for fourth quarter 2007 and 4.69% for second quarter 2007. The annualized return on average assets for second quarter 2008 was 0.73%, compared to 0.55% for fourth quarter 2007 and 0.31% for second quarter 2007. The efficiency ratio for second quarter 2008 was 66.91%, compared to 77.26% for fourth quarter 2007 and 82.37% for second quarter 2007. The improvement in our returns on average equity and average assets as well as our efficiency ratio was primarily due to higher net earnings in the second quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of the strong growth in our interest earning assets and improvement in our net interest rate margin which translated to higher net interest income.

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 and in 2006, the junior subordinated debentures issued during the first quarter of 2004, the sale to Cathay General Bancorp of 70,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2004 and 145,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2006 and $2.5 million line of credit advances from First Federal Bank during the second quarter of 2008. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory restrictions.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, other borrowings, and to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of loans and securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and security prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Since December 31, 2007, 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, 2007, including the Company’s audited consolidated 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.

Broadway Federal was in compliance with all capital requirements in effect at June 30, 2008, and met all standards necessary to be considered “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations adopted by the OTS pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”).

The following table reflects the required and actual regulatory capital ratios of Broadway Federal at the date indicated:
