BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
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 entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the results of their operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2006 and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE (2) – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common 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 (1,654,028 and 1,561,213 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and 1,645,779 and 1,557,946 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively). Diluted earnings per common 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 (1,787,105 and 1,701,864 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and 1,781,442 and 1,665,161 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively).
NOTE (3) – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FIN 48—In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition and measurement threshold for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact of adopting FIN 48 is discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 157—In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting standards, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157.
SFAS No. 159—In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. SFAS 159 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards, including fair value measurement disclosures in SFAS 157. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159.

June 30, 2007
NOTE (4) – Income Taxes
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle or adjustment to the liability for unrecognized tax benefit was recognized as a result of the adoption of FIN 48.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of the state of California. The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal taxing authorities for years before 2003 and by state taxing authorities for years before 2002. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change in the next twelve months.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has accrued $56,000 including $8,000 for potential interest and penalties as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 for uncertainties related to income taxes related to the California loan enterprise zone loan interest deduction taken in prior years. Of this total, $56,000 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 that if recognized would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate.
| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS |
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations regarding the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, and statements regarding strategic objectives. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations, and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results or performance may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements due to a wide range of factors including, but not limited to, the general business environment, the real estate market, competitive conditions in the business and geographic areas in which the Company conducts its business, regulatory actions or changes and other risks detailed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB.
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 in Southern California. At June 30, 2007, Broadway Federal operated four 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 accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Broadway Federal, Broadway Financial Funding, LLC and Broadway Service Corporation. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
5
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 2007 were $242,000, or $0.12 per diluted share, down $102,000, or 29.65%, when compared with net earnings of $344,000, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in net earnings was the result of a substantial increase in our provision for loan losses and non-interest expense, partially offset by increases in net interest income before provision for loan losses and non-interest income.
For the first half of 2007, net earnings totaled $686,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, down $46,000, or 6.28%, when compared with net earnings of $732,000, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first half of 2006.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 was up $256,000, or 10.42%, from the second quarter a year ago. The increase reflected a higher level of average interest-earning assets and improved net interest margin. Interest-earning assets averaged $297.7 million in the current quarter, up $19.5 million, or 7.00%, from the same period a year ago. Annualized net interest rate margin improved 11 basis points to 3.64% in the current quarter from 3.53% a year ago. The annualized net interest rate spread improved 10 basis points to 3.49% in the current quarter from 3.39% a year ago. The overall annualized yield on average interest-earning assets increased 68 basis points to 6.84% in the current quarter from 6.16% a year ago, primarily as a result of the origination of higher yielding loans and the upward repricing of adjustable rate mortgage loans. The annualized yield on average loans improved 66 basis points to 7.21% in the second quarter of 2007 from 6.55% for the same period in 2006. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 59 basis points to 3.35% as our deposit mix shifted toward higher costing time deposits and our use of overnight FHLB borrowings increased. Most of the increase in interest expense was in interest-bearing time deposits, where average balances increased $18.0 million, or 16.51%, to $127.0 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared to $109.0 million for the same period in 2006. The cost of average deposits increased 60 basis points to 3.07% in the second quarter of 2007 from 2.47% for the same period in 2006. The primary spread (weighted average interest rate on loans minus weighted average interest rate on deposits) for the second quarter of 2007 was 4.14% compared to 4.08% for the second quarter of 2006.
For the first half of 2007, net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $5.4 million, up $594,000, or 12.29%, from a year ago, primarily reflecting increased average interest-earning assets and higher net interest rate margin.
Provision for Loan Losses
During the second quarter of 2007, the provision for loan losses amounted to $164,000 compared to $49,000 a year ago. The $164,000 of loan loss provision was primarily due to increased loan originations/volume as there have been no net charge-offs during the first six months of 2007.
For the first half of 2007, the provision for loan losses totaled $184,000 compared to $49,000 of provision in the year-ago period.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $323,000 in the second quarter of 2007, up $42,000, or 14.95%, from the second quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to higher retail banking fees in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006.
For the first half of 2007, non-interest income totaled $640,000, up $94,000, or 17.22%, from a year ago. The increase primarily reflected higher service charge income.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, up $384,000, or 18.15%, from the second quarter a year ago. A large portion of the increase was in compensation and benefits expense, which increased $168,000, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006. Approximately $113,000 of the increase in compensation and benefits related to annual pay increases and the addition of experienced management and staff in the latter half of 2006. Other significant increases in non-interest expense between second quarters include a $25,000 increase in professional services expense, of which $17,000 was due to higher legal expenses, and a $189,000 increase in other expense, primarily due to a $125,000 expense in the second quarter of 2007 to settle a personnel matter and increases in donations, sponsorships, promotion and losses on checking accounts.
For the first half of 2007, non-interest expense totaled $4.8 million, up $687,000, or 16.70%, from a year ago, primarily reflecting higher compensation and benefits expense, professional services expense and other expense.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 34.77% for the second quarter 2007 compared to 39.86% for the second quarter 2006. 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 FHLB Advances
At June 30, 2007, assets totaled $317.8 million, up $16.8 million, or 5.59%, from year-end 2006. During the first half of 2007, net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $16.3 million and securities available for sale increased $4.9 million, while securities held to maturity decreased $3.8 million and cash and cash equivalents decreased $0.7 million. Loan originations, including purchases, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $53.5 million, up $20.3 million, or 61.14%, from $33.2 million a year ago. The strong growth in loan originations was tempered by a high level of loan repayments, including loan sales, which amounted to $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $32.3 million for the same period a year ago.
Deposits totaled $229.0 million at June 30, 2007, up $7.6 million, or 3.42%, from year-end 2006. During the first half of 2007, our certificates of deposit increased $11.9 million while our core deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) decreased $4.3 million. A substantial portion of the increase in certificates of deposit was from brokered deposits. At June 30, 2007, core deposits represented 41.74% of total deposits compared to 45.11% at December 31, 2006 and 47.08% at June 30, 2006.
Since the end of 2006, FHLB borrowings increased $8.6 million, or 17.24%, to $58.6 million at June 30, 2007 from $50.0 million at December 31, 2006, primarily due to strong loan growth financing needs.
Allowance for Loan Losses
At June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $1.9 million, or 0.73% of total gross loans receivable, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.69% of total gross loans receivable, at year-end 2006.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable incurred losses in Broadway Federal’s loan portfolio as of June 30, 2007, 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.
Non-Performing Assets
Non-performing assets, consisting of non-accrual and delinquent loans 90 or more days past due, totaled $477,000 at June 30, 2007 compared to $34,000 at December 31, 2006, or 0.15% and 0.01% of total assets, at those respective dates. Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2007 consisted of a single-family loan, a church loan and an unsecured consumer loan. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had no loans in foreclosure or REO (real estate owned) properties.
Performance Ratios
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s annualized return on average equity decreased to 4.69% compared to 7.50% for the same period in 2006. Contributing to the decrease in the annualized return on average equity are lower net earnings this quarter and the sale of 145,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Cathay General Bancorp in May 2006 which resulted in higher average equity for the second quarter of 2007 than in the second quarter of 2006. The annualized return on average assets decreased to 0.31% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 0.48% for the same period in 2006. The efficiency ratio increased to 82.37% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 77.31% for the same period in 2006. Our annualized return on average assets and efficiency ratio were negatively impacted by the substantial increase in our provision for loan losses and non-interest expense.
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 the second quarter of 2006, the junior subordinated debentures issued during the first quarter of 2004 and the sale of 70,000 shares of common stock to Cathay General Bancorp during the second quarter of 2004 and 145,000 shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2006. 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, 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, 2006, 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, 2006, 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, 2007, 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”).
