FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Broadway Financial Corporation Reports Net Loss for 1st Quarter 2012
LOS ANGELES, CA (BUSINESS WIRE) May 15, 2012 Broadway Financial Corporation (the Company) (NASDAQ Capital Market: BYFC), parent company of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the Bank), today reported net loss of ($60) thousand, or ($0.20) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net loss of ($129) thousand, or ($0.24) per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to lower provision for loan losses, higher net gains on sales of real estate owned (REO) and lower compensation and benefits expense, which were partially offset by lower net interest income and higher provision for losses on loans held for sale and REO.
Chief Executive Officer, Wayne Kent Bradshaw stated, We are encouraged by positive trends in asset quality, as well as, the success of strategies to reduce expenses and increase capital.
First Quarter 2012 Earnings Summary
For the first quarter of 2012, our net interest income before provision for loan losses was $3.7 million, which represented a decrease of $660 thousand, or 15%, from the first quarter of 2011. The $660 thousand decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a $75.1 million decrease in average interest-earning assets.
Average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $75.1 million to $404.7 million from $479.8 million for the first quarter of 2011, which resulted in a $1.2 million reduction in interest income. The decline in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans receivable, reflects our strategy throughout 2011 to maintain our capital ratios above the required regulatory thresholds, in part by shrinking total assets. The annualized yield on our average interest-earning assets decreased 5 basis points to 5.43% for the first quarter of 2012, from 5.48% for the same period a year ago.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2012 decreased $58.0 million to $386.1 million from $444.1 million for the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a $226 thousand reduction in interest expense. The annualized cost of our average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 14 basis points to 1.87% for the first quarter of 2012 from 2.01% for the same period a year ago, and resulted in a decrease of $194 thousand in interest expense.
The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $427 thousand compared to $1.2 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2012 was due primarily to the decrease in the size of our loan portfolio from $394.6 million a year ago to $328.8 million at March 31, 2012. The first quarter provision was also impacted by specific loss allocations on loans that became impaired during the quarter and charge-offs that were not reserved for at year-end 2011.
Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $283 thousand compared to $181 thousand for the first quarter of 2011. The $102 thousand increase from the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to higher net gains on sales of REOs which was partially offset by higher net losses on mortgage banking activities and lower service charges for loan-related fees and retail banking fees.
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $3.6 million, compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. Higher non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to higher provisions for losses on loans held for sale and REO. The $503 thousand of provision for losses on loans held for sale during the first quarter of 2012 was due to charge-offs on two loans that went into foreclosure

during the quarter and the recent valuation of the underlying collateral reflected a decrease in values. Partially offsetting these increases were lower compensation and benefits expense, occupancy expense and office services and supplies expense, primarily resulting from two branch closures at the end of 2011.
Income tax benefit totaled $3 thousand for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $86 thousand for the same period in 2011. The Companys effective income tax rate was 4.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to 40.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Income taxes for interim periods are computed by applying the projected annual effective income tax rate for the year to the year-to-date earnings plus discrete items (items incurred in the quarter). The projected annual effective tax rate incorporates certain non-taxable federal and state income items, federal and state tax credits, and expected increases to the valuation allowance for projected deferred tax assets.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets were $413.4 million at March 31, 2012, which represented a decrease of $5.1 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, net loans decreased by $13.0 million, loans held for sale decreased by $580 thousand, securities decreased by $952 thousand, REO decreased by $2.7 million and other assets (primarily income tax receivable) decreased by $1.0 million, while cash and cash equivalents increased by $13.6 million.
Our gross loan portfolio decreased by $13.7 million to $328.6 million at March 31, 2012 from $342.3 million at December 31, 2011, as loan repayments, foreclosures and charge-offs exceeded loan originations during the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in our loan portfolio primarily consisted of a $4.5 million decrease in our five or more units residential real estate loan portfolio, a $5.0 million decrease in our commercial real estate loan portfolio, a $2.4 million decrease in our church loan portfolio, a $660 thousand decrease in our one-to-four family residential real estate loan portfolio and a $809 thousand decrease in our consumer loan portfolio.
Loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $3.4 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Loan repayments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled $14.6 million compared to $6.5 million for the comparable period in 2011. Loans transferred to REO during the first quarter of 2012 totaled $1.8 million, compared to $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2011.
Loans held for sale decreased from $13.9 million at December 31, 2011 to $13.3 million at March 31, 2012. The $580 thousand decrease during the first quarter of 2012 was primarily due to $528 thousand of charge-offs on non-performing loans held for sale.
Deposits totaled $290.4 million at March 31, 2012, down $4.3 million, or 1%, from year-end 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, core deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) decreased by $2.2 million and represented 33% of total deposits at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Our certificates of deposit (CDs) decreased by $2.1 million during the first quarter of 2012 and represented 67% of total deposits at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Brokered deposits represented 3% of total deposits at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Since year-end 2011, FHLB borrowings, subordinated debentures and other borrowings remained unchanged at $83.0 million, $6.0 million, and $5.0 million, respectively. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, FHLB advances were 20% of total assets and the weighted average cost of advances at those dates was 3.09%.
Stockholders equity was $22.8 million, or 6% of the Companys total assets, at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, the Banks Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 13.61%, its Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio was 12.31%, and its Core Capital and Tangible Capital ratios were 8.71%.

The Company is currently pursuing a Recapitalization Plan to increase equity capital and reduce debt and senior securities, including a sale of common stock and exchanges of preferred stock for common stock at a discount to the liquidation amount, to further strengthen the Companys capital ratios, and position the Bank for future growth.
Asset Quality
Non-performing assets (NPAs) include non-accrual loans and real estate owned through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure (REO). NPAs at March 31, 2012 were $46.8 million, or 11.33% of total assets, compared to $50.1 million, or 11.97% of total assets, at December 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, non-accrual loans were $42.5 million compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2011. These loans consist of delinquent loans that are 90 days or more past due and troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) that do not qualify for accrual status.
Our total delinquencies and our total classified loans, which include non-accrual loans, have declined at each quarter-end since December 31, 2010. In addition, at March 31, 2012, approximately $22.5 million, or 53%, of our non-accrual loans were paying currently. The non-accrual loans at March 31, 2012 included 29 church loans totaling $23.0 million, 21 one-to-four family residential real estate loans totaling $8.4 million, 13 commercial real estate loans totaling $5.8 million, 9 five or more units residential real estate loans totaling $5.0 million, a land loan for $296 thousand, and a consumer loan for $70 thousand.
During the first quarter of 2012, REO decreased by $2.7 million to $4.3 million at March 31, 2012, from $7.0 million at the end of 2011. At March 31, 2012 the Banks REO consisted of three one-to-four family residential properties and eight commercial real estate properties, six of which are church buildings. As part of our efforts to reduce non-performing assets, we sold five REO properties for total proceeds of $4.0 million, and recorded a corresponding net gain of $272 thousand, during the first quarter of 2012.
At March 31, 2012 our allowance for loan losses was $15.5 million, or 4.71% of our gross loans receivable, compared to $16.2 million, or 4.73% of our gross loans, at year-end 2011. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to NPLs, excluding loans held for sale, decreased to 40.96% at March 31, 2012, compared to 42.85% at year-end 2011. Despite the decrease in the allowance ratio, management believes that the remaining loss potential has been reduced as certain losses inherent in our NPLs have been recognized as charge-offs which resulted in a lower ratio of the allowance for loan losses to NPLs. As of March 31, 2012, 67% of our NPLs had already been written down to their adjusted fair value less estimated selling costs, by establishing specific reserves or charged-off as necessary.
Impaired loans at March 31, 2012 were $57.3 million compared to $56.5 million at December 31, 2011. Specific reserves for impaired loans were $2.9 million, or 5.00% of the aggregate impaired loan amount at March 31, 2012, compared to $3.0 million, or 5.28%, at December 31, 2011. Excluding specific reserves for impaired loans, our coverage ratio (general allowance as a percentage of total non-impaired loans) was 4.65% at March 31, 2012, compared to 4.62% at December 31, 2011.
Net loan charge-offs during the first quarter of 2012 were $1.1 million, or 1.30% of average loans, compared to $707 thousand, or 0.66% of average loans, during the first quarter of 2011. Of the $1.3 million gross charge-offs during the first quarter of 2012, $85 thousand were specifically reserved for at year-end 2011. The $1.2 million of charge-offs that were not reserved for at year-end 2011 were primarily related to loans that are in foreclosure and the recent valuation of the underlying collateral reflected a decrease in values. Charge-offs in church loans totaled $643 thousand and represented 51% of charge-offs during 2012. Charge-offs in one-to-four family residential real estate loans totaled $425 thousand and represented 33% of charge-offs during 2012. Charge-offs in commercial real estate loans totaled $204 thousand and represented 16% of charge-offs during 2012.
