Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2019

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 quarterly reports on 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-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which is intended to increase transparency and comparability in the accounting for lease transactions. ASU 2016-02 became effective as of January 1, 2019 and provides for a modified retrospective transition approach requiring lessees to recognize and measure leases on the balance sheet at the either the earliest period presented or as of the beginning of the period of adoption with the option to elect certain practical expedients. We have elected to apply ASU 2016-02 as of the beginning of the period of adoption, which as January 1, 2019 and we have elected not to restate comparative periods. Of the practical expedients available under ASU 206-02, all have been adopted except for the hindsight practical expedient.

The Bank has a combined operating lease for its corporate headquarters and main retail branch and a photocopier lease. As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $1.2 million and an operating lease liability of $1.2 million as of January 1, 2019, with no impact on our consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows compared to the prior lease accounting model. The ROU asset and operating lease liability are recorded in fixed assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 6 – Leases for additional information. The implementation of this standard had a minor impact on our regulatory capital ratios.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. ASU 2016-01 (i) amends existing guidance that requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. It requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). It eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. These amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with this standard, the Company measured the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities as of December 31, 2018 using an exit price notion (see Note 5 Fair Value).

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments on the consolidated statement of cash flows in order to reduce diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, where the guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”, which allows an entity to elect a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amount of that reclassification should include the effect of changes of tax rate on the deferred tax amount, any related valuation allowance and other income tax effects on the items in AOCI. The standard requires an entity to state if an election to reclassify the tax effect to retained earnings is made along with the description of other income tax effects that are reclassified from AOCI. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this amendment and has elected to reclassify $66 thousand from AOCI to retained earnings at December 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2019, including interim periods in those fiscal years. All entities may early adopt for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2018, including interim periods in those fiscal years. For debt securities with other-than-temporary impairment, the guidance will be applied prospectively. Existing purchased credit impaired (PCI) assets will be grandfathered and classified as purchased credit deteriorated (PCD) assets at the date of adoption. The asset will be grossed up for the allowance for expected credit losses for all PCD assets at the date of adoption and will continue to recognize the noncredit discount in interest income based on the yield of such assets as of the adoption date. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses will be recorded through the allowance. For all other assets within the scope of CECL, a cumulative-effect adjustment will be recognized in retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company has begun its implementation efforts by identifying key interpretive issues, assessing its processes and identifying the system requirements against the new guidance to determine what modifications may be required. While the Company is still evaluating the overall impact on the new standard on its consolidated financial statements, the Company expects the adoption may result in an increase to the allowance for loan losses balance.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU was issued to improve the effectiveness of disclosures surrounding fair value measurements. The ASU removes numerous disclosures from Topic 820 including; transfers between level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation process for level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also modified and added disclosure requirements in regards to changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income, as well as the range and weighted average of unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE (2) – Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed pursuant to the two-class method by dividing net income available to common stockholders less dividends paid on participating securities (unvested shares of restricted common stock) and any undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of unvested shares of restricted common stock. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested stock awards and additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

The following table shows how the Company computed basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the periods indicated:

	For the three months ended March 31,
	2019		2018
	(In thousands, except share and per share)

Net income (loss)	$	277	$	(84)
Less net income attributable to participating securities	4		-
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$	273	$	(84)

Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per common share	26,546,315		26,766,158
Add: dilutive effects of assumed exercises of stock options	-		-
Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share	26,546,315		26,766,158

Earnings (loss) per common share - basic	$	0.01	$	(0.00)
Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted	$	0.01	$	(0.00)

Stock options for 455,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and stock options for 537,500 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive.

Total available-for-sale securities	$	14,892	$	88	$	(258)	$	14,722

At March 31, 2019, the Bank had three federal agency debt securities with total amortized cost of $5.3 million, estimated total fair value of $5.3 million and an estimated average remaining life of 3.6 years. The Bank also had 22 federal agency mortgage-backed securities with total amortized cost of $9.2 million, estimated total fair value of $9.2 million and an estimated average remaining life of 4.4 years. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

There were no securities pledged to secure public deposits at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no holdings of securities by any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

There were no sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Bank held 8 securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2019 compared to 10 securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2018. Securities in unrealized loss positions are analyzed as part of our ongoing assessment of other-than-temporary impairment. Consideration is given to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost, and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. All of the Bank’s securities were issued by the federal government or its agencies. The unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2019 were primarily caused by movements in market interest rates subsequent to the purchase of such securities. We do not consider these unrealized losses to be other than temporary impairment.

NOTE (4) – Loans Receivable Held for Sale

Loans receivable held for sale at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $5.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and consisted of multi-family loans. The Bank transferred $1.1 million and $16.9 million of multi-family loans from the held-for-sale portfolio to the held-for-investment portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. There were no loan sales during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Loan repayments totaled $24 thousand and $71 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following tables present the monthly average of loans individually evaluated for impairment by loan type and the related interest income for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019						Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Total		$	5,995		$	445		$	9,003		$	189

Cash-basis interest income recognized represents cash received for interest payments on accruing impaired loans and interest recoveries on non-accrual loans that were paid off. Interest payments collected on non-accrual loans are characterized as payments of principal rather than payments of the outstanding accrued interest on the loans until the remaining principal on the non-accrual loans is considered to be fully collectible or paid off. When a loan is returned to accrual status, the interest payments that were previously applied to principal are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the loan. Foregone interest income that would have been recognized had loans performed in accordance with their original terms amounted to $40 thousand and $86 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and were not included in the consolidated results of operations.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At March 31, 2019, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $5.2 million, of which $748 thousand were included in non-accrual loans and $4.4 million were on accrual status. At December 31, 2018, loans classified as TDRs totaled $6.4 million, of which $591 thousand were included in non-accrual loans and $5.8 million were on accrual status. The Company has allocated $186 thousand and $227 thousand of specific reserves for TDRs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing at the time of restructuring or loans that have complied with the terms of their restructured agreements for a satisfactory period of time and for which the Bank anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest. TDRs that are on non-accrual status can be returned to accrual status after a period of sustained performance, generally determined to be six months of timely payments, as modified. A well-documented credit analysis that supports a return to accrual status based on the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment under the revised terms is also required. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no commitment to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. No loans were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. For single family residential, consumer and other smaller balance homogenous loans, a credit grade is established at inception, and generally only adjusted based on performance. Information about payment status is disclosed elsewhere herein. The Company analyzes all other loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed at least on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

§ Watch. Loans classified as watch exhibit weaknesses that could threaten the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors. Watch graded loans are generally performing and are not more than 59 days past due. A watch rating is used when a material deficiency exists but correction is anticipated within an acceptable time frame.

§ Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

§ Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

§ Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

§ Loss. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that to continue to carry the loan as an active asset is no longer warranted.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Pass rated loans are generally well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and/or by the value of the underlying collateral. Pass rated loans are not more than 59 days past due and are generally performing in accordance with the loan terms. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk categories of loans by loan type as of the periods indicated were as follows:

NOTE (6) – Leases

The Bank has a combined operating lease for its corporate headquarters and main retail branch and a photocopier lease. The ROU asset and operating lease liability are recorded in fixed assets and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Our ROU asset represents our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term. Operating liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental borrowing rate at the date of implementation of the new accounting standard.

The operating lease for our corporate headquarters and main retail branch has one 5-year extension option at the then fair market rate. As this extension option is not reasonably certain of exercise, it is not included in the lease term. The Bank recorded a ROU asset of $1.1 million and an operating lease liability of $1.1 million as of March 31, 2019. The Bank has no finance leases.

The Bank recorded operating lease expense costs of $123 thousand and $121 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

Additional information regarding our operating leases is summarized below as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases:		$ 134

ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities		$1,120

NOTE (7) – Junior Subordinated Debentures

On March 17, 2004, the Company issued $6.0 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) in a private placement to a trust that was capitalized to purchase subordinated debt and preferred stock of multiple community banks. Interest on the Debentures is payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the 3-Month LIBOR plus 2.54%. The interest rate is determined as of each March 17, June 17, September 17, and December 17, and was 5.17% at March 31, 2019. On October 16, 2014, the Company made payments of $900 thousand of principal on Debentures, executed a Supplemental Indenture for the Debentures that extended the maturity of the Debentures to March 17, 2024, and modified the payment terms of the remaining $5.1 million principal amount thereof. The modified terms of the Debentures require quarterly payments of interest only through March 2019 at the original rate of 3-Month LIBOR plus 2.54%. Starting in June 2019, the Company will be required to make quarterly payments of equal amounts of principal, plus interest, until the Debentures are fully amortized on March 17, 2024. The Debentures may be called for redemption at any time by the Company.

NOTE (8) – Fair Value

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate 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 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).

The fair value of impaired loans that are collateral dependent is generally based upon the fair value of the collateral, which is obtained from recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Assets acquired through or by transfer in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals which are updated every nine months. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Table of Contents

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, an independent third-party licensed appraiser reviews the appraisals for accuracy and reasonableness, reviewing the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis

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

	Fair Value Measurement

Securities available-for-sale – federal agency debt	1,979		3,235		-		5,214

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

Assets are considered to be reflected at fair value on a non-recurring basis if the fair value measurement of the instrument does not necessarily result in a change in the amount recorded on the statement of condition. Generally, a non-recurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements that require assets to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

The following table provides information regarding the carrying values of our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of the periods indicated. The fair value measurement for all of these assets falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following tables present the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and accrued interest receivable/payable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For non-marketable equity securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities can only be redeemed or sold at their par value and only to the respective issuing government supported institution or to another member institution. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

In accordance with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, including loans, time deposits, and junior subordinated debentures, as of March 31, 2019 was measured using an exit price notion. Although the exit price notion represents the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, the actual price received for a sale of assets or paid to transfer liabilities could be different from exit price disclosed.

NOTE (9) – Stock-based Compensation

Prior to July 25, 2018, the Company issued stock-based compensation awards to its directors and employees under the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 LTIP”). The 2008 LTIP permitted the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. As of July 25, 2018, the Company ceased granting awards under the 2008 LTIP.

On July 25, 2018, the stockholders approved the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 LTIP”). As with the 2008 LTIP, the 2018 LTIP permits the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards. The plan is in effect for ten years. The maximum number of shares that can be awarded under the plan is 1,293,109 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2018.

In March 2016, the Company awarded 120,483 shares of restricted stock to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) under the 2008 LTIP. A restricted stock award is valued at the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of such award. Subject to certain performance restrictions, 100,000 shares of restricted stock shall vest over a two-year period and the remaining 20,483 shares shall vest over a three-year period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recorded $3 thousand and $26 thousand of stock-based compensation expense related to this award during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, this restricted stock award was fully vested, and all compensation costs related to this vested restricted stock award was fully recognized.

In February 2019, the Company awarded 428,796 shares of restricted stock to its employees under the 2018 LTIP. A restricted stock award is valued at the average of the high and the low price of the Company’s stock on the date of the award. These shares of restricted stock shall vest over a two-year period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recorded $22 thousand of stock-based compensation expense related to this award during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted-stock award under the plan was $505 thousand. The cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 1.92 years.

In January 2019, the Company awarded 42,168 shares of common stock to its directors under the 2018 LTIP which are fully vested. The Company recorded $52 thousand of compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 based on the fair value of the stock, which was determined using the average of the high and the low price of the stock on the date of the award. Additionally, in January 2018, the Company awarded 18,906 shares of common stock to its directors under the 2008 LTIP, all of which are fully vested. The Company recorded $45 thousand of compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 based on the fair value of the stock, which was determined using the average of the high and the low price of the stock on the date of the award.

In February 2018 and April 2017, the Company also awarded 97,195 and 129,270 of cash-settled restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its CEO under the 2008 LTIP. All RSUs vest at the end of two years from the date of the grant and are subject to forfeiture until vested. Each RSU entitles the CEO to receive cash equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the applicable payout date. Compensation expense is determined based on the fair value of the award and is re-measured at each reporting period and is classified as a liability in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company recorded $92 thousand and $32 thousand of compensation expense related to these awards during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

NOTE (10) – ESOP Plan

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Option Plan (“ESOP”) after attaining certain age and service requirements. In December 2016, the ESOP purchased 1,493,679 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.59 per share, for a total cost of $2.4 million, of which $1.2 million was funded with a loan from the Company. The loan will be repaid from the Bank’s annual discretionary contributions to the ESOP, net of dividends paid, over a period of 20 years. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account until released for allocation to participants. When loan payments are made, shares are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s compensation, as defined in the ESOP, to the total compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are released from the suspense account, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to equity as additional paid-in capital. Any dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts. Any dividends on unallocated shares will be used to repay the loan. Participants will receive shares for their vested balance at the end of their employment. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $14 thousand and $25 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows:

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(Dollars in thousands)

Allocated to participants	1,047,389		1,036,809
Committed to be released	21,160		10,580
Suspense shares	624,873		646,033
Total ESOP shares	1,693,422		1,693,422
Fair value of unearned shares	$	890	$	678

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2019, 21,160 of ESOP shares were committed to be allocated to participants. During 2018 and 2017, 43,009 and 40,126 of ESOP shares were released for allocation to participants, respectively. Unearned shares, which are reported as Unearned ESOP shares in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial condition, were $1.0 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018

NOTE (11) – Regulatory Matters

The Bank’s capital requirements are administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the OCC. Failure to meet capital requirements can result in regulatory action.

The federal banking regulators approved final capital rules (“Basel III Capital Rules”) in July 2013 implementing the Basel III framework as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules prescribe a standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets and revised the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital and Total capital, and include a new Common Equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) measure. Under the Basel III Capital Rules, the currently effective minimum capital ratios are:

· 4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets;

· 6.0% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets;

· 8.0% Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets; and

· 4.0% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (known as the “leverage ratio”).

Table of Contents

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

A new capital conservation buffer was also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until it reaches its final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

The Basel III Capital rules also contain revisions to the prompt corrective action framework, which is designed to place restrictions on insured depository institutions if their capital levels begin to show signs of weakness. Under the prompt corrective action requirements, which are designed to complement the capital conservation buffer, insured depository institutions are now required to meet the following increased capital level requirements in order to qualify as “well capitalized”: (i) a CET1 capital ratio of 6.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8% (increased from 6%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 10% (unchanged from previous rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged from previous rules).

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank’s level of capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and its regulatory capital ratios were above the minimum levels required to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes. Actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of the periods indicated are presented below.

NOTE (12) – Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiary are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management evaluated both positive and negative evidence, including the existence of cumulative losses in the current year and the prior two years, the amount of taxes paid in available carry-back years, the forecasts of future income and tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that as of March 31, 2019, no valuation allowance was required on its deferred tax assets, which totaled $4.9 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded no valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets of $5.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies, which are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

Overview

Total assets increased by $11.8 million to $421.2 million at March 31, 2019 from $409.4 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in total assets primarily consisted of an increase of $9.4 million in net loans receivable held for investment, an increase of $2.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and an increase of $1.1 million in net office properties and equipment. These were partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in loans receivable held for sale and a decrease of $205 thousand in securities available-for-sale.

Total liabilities increased by $11.2 million to $372.2 million at March 31, 2019 from $361.0 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in total liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in deposits of $5.2 million, an increase in FHLB advances of $5.0 million and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.5 million. These were partially offset by a decrease of $492 thousand in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance.

Total borrowings at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of advances to the Bank from the FHLB of $75.0 million and $70 million, respectively, and $5.1 million of subordinated floating rate debentures issued by the Company.

We recorded net income of $277 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, compared to net loss of $84 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net income during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 primarily resulted from an increase of $229 thousand in net interest income after loan loss provision recapture and an increase of $245 thousand in non-interest income.

Table of Contents

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

For the first quarter of 2019, net interest income was $2.8 million, which was substantially the same as the net interest income for the first quarter of 2018. Average interest-earning assets increased by $11.0 million compared to the first quarter of the prior year, but this increase was offset a decrease of 4 basis points in the net interest margin.

Interest and fees on loans receivable increased by $606 thousand to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, from $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. Higher interest income on loans receivable for the first quarter of 2019 resulted from an increase of $19.1 million in the average balance of loans receivable, which increased interest income by $195 thousand. Additionally, the average yield on loans receivable during the first quarter of 2019 increased by 45 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2018, which increased interest income by $411 thousand, of which $351 thousand related to interest recoveries on payoffs of non-accrual loans during the first quarter of 2019.

Interest on mortgage-backed and other securities decreased by $11 thousand to $98 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, from $109 thousand for the first quarter of 2018, due to a decrease of $2.6 million in the average balance of securities offset by an increase of 15 basis points in the average yield on securities.

Other interest income increased by $20 thousand to $160 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, from $140 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The increase of $20 thousand in other interest income was due to an increase in interest earned on interest-bearing deposits in other banks, primarily reflecting an increase of 99 basis points in the average rate earned, offset by a lower average balance of $5.5 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. There was no change in dividends earned on FHLB stock during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $396 thousand to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2019, from $631 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The higher interest expense on deposits for the first quarter of 2019 primarily resulted from an increase of 55 basis points in the average cost of deposits, which increased interest expense by $381 thousand. The increase in the average cost of deposits primarily resulted from higher rates paid on certificates of deposit due to rising short term interest rates and competitive pricing pressures.

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $180 thousand to $533 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, from $353 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The higher interest expense on borrowings for the first quarter of 2019 primarily resulted from an increase of 62 basis points in the average cost of FHLB advances, which increased interest expense by $112 thousand, and an increase of $10.7 million in the average balance of FHLB advances, which increased interest expense by $54 thousand. Additionally, the interest rate on the Company’s junior subordinated floating rate debentures increased by 110 basis points during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, which resulted in additional interest expense of $14 thousand.

Table of Contents

The following tables set forth average balances, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred loan fees, and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense. We do not accrue interest on loans on non-accrual status; however, the balance of these loans is included in the total average balance of loans receivable, which has the effect of reducing average loan yields.

Loan loss provision recapture

During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank recorded a loan loss provision recapture of $190 thousand. No recapture was recorded during the first quarter of 2018. The loan loss provision recapture for the first quarter of 2019 primarily resulted from cash recoveries upon the full payoff of two partially charged off church loans. The ALLL requirements for new loan originations were provided by loan payoffs and improvement in historical loss factors. At March 31, 2019, the ALLL was $2.9 million, or 0.80% of our gross loans receivable held for investment, compared to $2.9 million, or 0.82% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, the ALLL as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 374.55% from 321.51% at the end of 2018 as the Bank decreased total non-performing loans by $129 thousand during the first quarter.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2019 totaled $376 thousand, compared to $131 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in non-interest income of $245 thousand was primarily due to a grant of $233 thousand received from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institution Fund in the first quarter of 2019.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. Overall, non-interest expense increased by $28 thousand, primarily reflecting an increase of $151 thousand in professional services expense, primarily resulting from an increase of $86 thousand in loan review expense, partially offset by a decrease of $31 thousand in REO expense, a decrease of $24 thousand in other expense, a decrease of $23 thousand in compensation and benefits, a decrease of $14 thousand in office services and supplies, a decrease of $11 thousand in marketing expense, a decrease of $8 thousand in occupancy expense, and a decrease of $7 thousand in corporation insurance expense.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% and the California income tax rate of 10.84% to taxable income. The Company recorded income tax expense of $42 thousand for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to income tax benefit of $43 thousand for the first quarter of 2018. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 13.20% for the first quarter of 2019, due to the availability of low-income housing tax credits. The Company had no valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, which totaled $4.9 million and $5.0 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Financial Condition

Loans Receivable Held for Sale

Loans receivable held for sale at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $5.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and consisted of multi-family loans. During the first quarter of 2019, we transferred $1.1 million of multi-family loan from loans receivable held for sale to loans receivable held for investment. We received $24 thousand in principal repayments on loans receivable held for sale during the first quarter of 2019, compared to $71 thousand during the first quarter of 2018. No loans were originated for sale during the first quarter of 2019 or 2018.

Table of Contents

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

Loans held for investment, net of the allowance for loan losses, totaled $365.0 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $355.6 million at December 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank originated $18.0 million of multi-family loans and $1.1 million of commercial real estate loans for loans held for investment and transferred $1.1 million of multi-family loan from loans held for sale to loans held for investment. Loan repayments during the first quarter of 2019 totaled $11.7 million, compared to $20.4 million during the first quarter of 2018.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We record a provision for loan losses as a charge to earnings when necessary in order to maintain the ALLL at a level sufficient, in management’s judgment, to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. At least quarterly we conduct an assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio and general economic trends in the local market. The determination of the appropriate level for the allowance is based on that review, considering such factors as historical loss experience for each type of loan, the size and composition of our loan portfolio, the levels and composition of our loan delinquencies, non-performing loans and net loan charge-offs, the value of underlying collateral on problem loans, regulatory policies, general economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of loans in the portfolio.

Our ALLL was $2.9 million or 0.80% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at March 31, 2019 compared to $2.9 million or 0.82% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at December 31, 2018. The levels of ALLL at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reflect the result of our quarterly review of the adequacy of the ALLL. During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank recorded loan loss recoveries of $190 thousand and recaptured $190 thousand of loan loss provisions. The ALLL requirements for new loan originations were provided by loan payoffs and improvement in historical loss factors. We continue to maintain our ALLL at a level that we believe is appropriate, given the significant reduction in delinquencies and non-performing loans, the continued improvement in our asset credit quality metrics and the high quality of our loan originations.

As of March 31, 2019, we had total delinquencies of $576 thousand, compared to $358 thousand at December 31, 2018. Non-performing loans (“NPLs”) consist of delinquent loans that are 90 days or more past due and other loans, including troubled debt restructurings that do not qualify for accrual status. At March 31, 2019, NPLs totaled $782 thousand, compared to $911 thousand at December 31, 2018. The decrease of $129 thousand in NPLs was due to repayments.

In connection with our review of the adequacy of our ALLL, we track the amount and percentage of our NPLs that are paying currently, but nonetheless must be classified as NPL for reasons unrelated to payments, such as lack of current financial information and an insufficient period of satisfactory performance. As of March 31, 2019, we had one single family non-performing loan totaling $34 thousand that was not current its payments. Also, in determining the ALLL, we considered the ratio of the ALLL to NPLs, which increased to 374.55% at March 31, 2019 from 321.51% at December 31, 2018.

When reviewing the adequacy of the ALLL, we also consider the impact of charge-offs, including the changes and trends in loan charge-offs. There were no loan charge-offs since 2015. In determining charge-offs, we update our estimates of collateral values on NPLs by obtaining new appraisals at least every nine months. If the estimated fair value of the loan collateral less estimated selling costs is less than the recorded investment in the loan, a charge-off for the difference is recorded to reduce the loan to its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs. Therefore, certain losses inherent in our total NPLs are recognized periodically through charge-offs. The impact of updating these estimates of collateral value and recognizing any required charge-offs is to increase charge-offs and reduce the ALLL required on these loans. Due to prior charge-offs and increases in collateral values, the average recorded investment in NPLs was only 29% of estimated fair value less estimated selling costs as of March 31, 2019.

Impaired loans at March 31, 2019 were $5.2 million, compared to $6.4 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease of $1.2 million in impaired loans was due to repayments. Specific reserves for impaired loans were $186 thousand, or 3.59% of the aggregate impaired loan amount at March 31, 2019, compared to $227 thousand, or 3.56% at December 31, 2018. Excluding specific reserves for impaired loans, our coverage ratio (general allowance as a percentage of total non-impaired loans) was 0.76% at March 31, 2019, compared to 0.77% at December 31, 2018.

We believe that the ALLL is adequate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2019, but there can be no assurance that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. In addition, the OCC and the FDIC periodically review the ALLL as an integral part of their examination process. These agencies may require an increase in the ALLL based on their judgments of the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Office Properties and Equipment

Net office properties and equipment increased by $1.1 million to $3.3 million at March 31, 2019 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2018. Due to the implementation of ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”, the Bank recorded a right of use (“ROU”) asset of $1.2 million as of January 1, 2019. After amortization, the ROU asset was $1.1 million at March 31, 2019.

Deposits

Deposits increased by $5.3 million to $286.7 million at March 31, 2019 from $281.4 million at December 31, 2018. Liquid deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) decreased by $2.7 million during the first quarter of 2019 and represented 37% and 39% of total deposits at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Certificates of deposit (“CDs”) increased by $8.0 million during the first quarter of 2019 and represented 55% and 54% of total deposits at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in CDs was primarily due to a $1.5 million net increase in retail CDs and a $6.5 million in CDARS deposits. CDARS is a deposit placement service that allows us to place our customers’ funds in FDIC-insured certificates of deposit at other banks and, at the same time, receive an equal sum of funds from the customers of other banks in the CDARS Network (“CDARS Reciprocal”). We may also accept deposits from other institutions when we have no reciprocal deposit (“CDARS One-Way Buy”). At March 31, 2019, we had approximately $43.0 million in CDARS Reciprocal and $29.7 million in CDARS One-Way Buy, compared to 32.6 million in CDARS Reciprocal and $33.7 million in CDARS One-Way Buy at December 31, 2018.

One customer relationship accounted for approximately 11% of our deposits at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We expect to maintain this relationship with the customer for the foreseeable future.

Borrowings

Total borrowings at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, consisted of advances to the Bank from the FHLB of $75.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, and subordinated floating rate debentures of $5.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on the FHLB Advances decreased to 2.40% at March 31, 2019 from 2.51% at December 31, 2018. The weighted average interest rate on the subordinated floating rate debentures decreased to 5.17% at March 31, 2019 from 5.34% at December 31, 2018, primarily due to decreases in LIBOR.

Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $1.5 million to $4.9 million as of March 31, 2019 from $3.4 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to the implementation of ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”. Upon adoption, the Bank recorded an operating lease liability of $1.2 million as of January 1, 2019. After amortization, the operating lease liability was $1.1 million at March 31, 2019.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity was $49.0 million, or 11.62% of the Company’s total assets, at March 31, 2019, compared to $48.4 million, or 11.83% of the Company’s total assets, at December 31, 2018. The Company’s book value was $1.76 and $1.77 per share as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company issued 428,796 shares of restricted common stock to certain executive officers and employees.

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have the continuing ability to fund operations and meet our obligations on a timely and cost-effective basis. The Bank’s sources of funds include deposits, advances from the FHLB, other borrowings, proceeds from the sale of loans and investment securities, and payments of principal and interest on loans and investment securities. The Bank is currently approved by the FHLB to borrow up to 30% of total assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. This approved limit and collateral requirement would have permitted the Bank to borrow an additional $53.1 million at March 31, 2019. In addition, the Bank has an $11.0 million line of credit with another financial institution.

The Bank’s primary uses of funds include withdrawals of and interest payments on deposits, originations of loans, purchases of investment securities, and the payment of operating expenses. Also, when the Bank has more funds than required for reserve requirements or short-term liquidity needs, the Bank invests in federal funds with the Federal Reserve Bank or in money market accounts with other financial institutions. The Bank’s liquid assets at March 31, 2019 consisted of $3.1 million in cash and due from banks, $16.1 million in interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and $14.5 million in securities available-for-sale that were not pledged, compared to $4.1 million in cash and due from banks, $12.5 million in interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and $14.7 million in securities available-for-sale that were not pledged at December 31, 2018. Currently, we believe that the Bank has sufficient liquidity to support growth over the foreseeable future.

The Company’s liquidity, separate from the Bank, is based primarily on the proceeds from financing transactions, such as the private placements completed in August 2013, October 2014 and December 2016 and dividends received from the Bank in 2019 and 2018. The Bank is currently under no prohibition to pay dividends, but is subject to restrictions as to the amount of the dividends based on normal regulatory guidelines.

The Company recorded consolidated net cash inflows from operating activities of $229 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to consolidated net cash outflows from operating activities of $752 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net cash inflows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily attributable to an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

The Company recorded consolidated net cash outflows from investing activities of $7.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to consolidated net cash inflows of $5.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net cash outflows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 were primarily attributable to originations of loans held for investment.

The Company recorded consolidated net cash inflows from financing activities of $10.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to consolidated net cash outflows from financing activities of $11.1 million during the three months ended March 31 2018. Net cash inflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were primarily attributable to a net increase in deposits of $5.2 million and FHLB advances (net of repayments) of $5.0 million.

Capital Resources and Regulatory Capital

Our principal subsidiary, Broadway Federal Bank, must comply with capital standards established by the OCC in the conduct of its business. Failure to comply with such capital requirements may result in significant limitations on its business or other sanctions. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal banking agencies to establish consolidated risk-based and leverage capital requirements for insured depository institutions, depository institution holding companies and certain non-bank financial companies that are no less than those to which insured depository institutions have been previously subject. The current regulatory capital requirements are described in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
