BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2020

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, 2019 and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

On August 25, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to merge with CFBanc Corporation, a District of Columbia benefit corporation (“City First”).  See Note 2 for more information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 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.
 
On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to affirm the proposed amended effective date for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”) as defined by the SEC. The final ASU, was issued in November 2019, delays the implementation date for ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. SRCs are defined as companies with less than $250 million of public float or less than $100 million in annual revenues for the previous year and no public float or public float of less than $700 million.  The Company qualifies as an SRC, and management will implement ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of 2023.  The estimated financial impact has not yet been determined.
 
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.  This ASU is effective January 1, 2020 and clarifies the scope of the credit losses standard and addresses issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments, among other things. The amendments to Topic 326 have the same effective dates as ASU 2016-13. This guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost basis upon adoption of the credit loss standards. The effective date for this ASU is the same as for ASU 2016-13. We will evaluate this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-13 to determine its impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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 regarding 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 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments in this ASU are intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments are also intended to improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions regarding the accounting related to the modifications of certain contracts, relationships and other transactions that are affected by reference rate reform related to contracts that reference LIBOR or other reference rates that could be discontinued due to reference rate reform.  This guidance is effective immediately and the amendments may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022.  This guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020.
 
NOTE (2) – Pending Acquisition

On August 25, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with City First. The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, City First will merge with and into the Company (the “City First Merger”), with the Company surviving and continuing as the surviving entity. At the effective time of the City First Merger, (1) each share of City First’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.50 per share, and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.50 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares owned by City First or the Company and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into 13.626 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares, respectively, of the voting common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, which will be renamed Class A Common Stock, and a new class of non-voting common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, which will be named Class B Common Stock, and (2) each share of Fixed Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $0.50 per share, of City First (“City First Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the City First Merger will be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of a new series of preferred stock of the Company, which new series will be designated as the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, with such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, which taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the holders of City First Preferred Stock than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof of City First Preferred Stock. Immediately following the City First Merger, the Bank will merge with and into City First Bank of D.C., National Association (“CFB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of City First, with CFB continuing as the surviving entity.

NOTE (3) Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic loss per share of common stock is computed pursuant to the two-class method by dividing net loss available to common stockholders less dividends paid on participating securities (unvested shares of restricted common stock) and any undistributed loss 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 net loss per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested stock awards and additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

At September 30, 2020, the Bank had 4 federal agency debt securities with total amortized cost of $2.9 million, estimated total fair value of $3.1 million and an estimated average remaining life of 5.6 years.  The Bank also had 22 federal agency mortgage-backed securities with total amortized cost of $6.2 million, estimated total fair value of $6.5 million and an estimated average remaining life of 2.9 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

During the third quarter and the nine months of 2020, the Bank purchased two municipal bonds totaled $850 thousand at 1.41% weighted average rate and 7.0 years of weighted average life.  There were no sales of securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

The Bank held 26 and 24 securities with unrealized gains at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  All the Bank’s securities were issued by the federal government or its agencies and municipalities. The unrealized gains on our available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2020 were primarily caused by movements in market interest rates subsequent to the purchase of such securities.

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 $22 thousand and $41 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $67 thousand and $121 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were not included in the consolidated results of operations.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In March 2020, a joint statement was issued by federal and state regulatory agencies, after consultation with the FASB, to clarify that short-term loan modifications, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms or other insignificant payment delays, are not TDRs if made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief. Under this guidance, six months or less is provided as an example of short-term, and current is defined as less than 30 days past due at the time the modification program is implemented.  The guidance also provides that these modified loans generally will not be classified as non-accrual loans during the term of the modification.

The Bank has implemented a loan modification program for the effects of COVID-19 on its borrowers. At the date of this filing, no borrowers have requested loan modifications, and no modifications have been granted.

At September 30, 2020, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $4.2 million, of which $243 thousand were included in non-accrual loans and $4.0 million were on accrual status.  At December 31, 2019, loans classified as TDRs totaled $4.7 million, of which $406 thousand were included in non-accrual loans and $4.3 million were on accrual status.  The Company has allocated $148 thousand and $147 thousand of specific reserves for accruing TDRs as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 or nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

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.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

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 (7) 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 office properties and equipment 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 lease 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 $326 thousand and an operating lease liability of $332 thousand as of September 30, 2020. The Bank has no finance leases.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The Bank recorded operating lease expense costs of $121 thousand and $123 thousand for the three months and $363 thousand and $368 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE (8) Borrowings

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Bank had outstanding Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) totaling $115.5 million and $84.0 million, respectively. The weighted rate interest rate was 1.85% and 2.32% as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The weighted average contractual maturity was 28 months and 18 months as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  The advances were collateralized by $204.6 million and $156.1 million of first mortgage loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

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 2.79% at September 30, 2020.  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 began making quarterly payments of equal amounts of principal, plus interest, and will continue until the Debentures are fully amortized on March 17, 2024.  At September 30, 2020, the Company had repaid a total of $1.5 million of the scheduled principal.  The Debentures may be called for redemption at any time by the Company.

NOTE (9) 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.

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 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 statements of financial 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  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 ASU No. 2016-01, the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, including loans, time deposits, and junior subordinated debentures, as of September 30, 2020 and December 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 (10) – Stock-based Compensation

On July 25, 2018, the stockholders approved the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 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 September 30, 2020, 629,267 shares had been awarded and 663,842 shares are available under the 2018 LTIP.

In February 2020 and January 2019, the Company awarded 30,930 and 42,168 shares of common stock, respectively, to its directors under the 2018 LTIP, which are fully vested.  The Company recorded $45 thousand and $52 thousand of compensation expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively, 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.

BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In February 2020 and 2019, the Company awarded 140,218 shares and 428,797 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to its officers and employees under the 2018 LTIP.  Each restricted stock award is valued 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.  These awarded shares of restricted stock are fully vested over a two-year period from their respective dates of grants. Stock based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $90 and $251 thousand of stock based compensation expense related to these awards, respectively.  As of September 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards was $251 thousand which is expected to be recognized over a period of 17 months.

No stock options were granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE (11) – ESOP Plan

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership 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 $18 thousand for both the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was $50 thousand and $47 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTE (12) – 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”).

A capital conservation buffer is also required to be maintained above the regulatory minimum capital requirements.  This capital conservation buffer was phased in on a schedule that began on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increased each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until it reached its final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

The Basel III Capital rules also revised the previously existing prompt corrective action regulatory 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 complement the capital conservation buffer, insured depository institutions are 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).

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 (13) – Income Taxes

Income tax expense or benefit is computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% and the California income tax rate of 10.84% to taxable income or loss.  The Company recorded income tax expense of $95 thousand and income tax benefits of $300 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to income tax benefits of $176 thousand and $262 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.  The increase in income tax expense during the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to non-deductible expenses of $556 thousand related to the City First Merger.  The income tax benefit recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a tax adjustment of $273 thousand upon the resolution of an outstanding audit issue with the California Franchise Tax Board for tax years 2009 to 2013, offset by the additional tax expense associated with the non-deductible merger related expenses.  In addition, the Company recorded low-income housing tax credits of $29 thousand and $87 thousand during the third quarter and nine months of 2020, compared to $50 thousand and $149 thousand during the third quarter and nine months of 2019.

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 evaluates 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 September 30, 2020, no valuation allowance was required on its deferred tax assets, which totaled $5.3 million.

NOTE (14) – Concentration of Credit Risk

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank has significant concentration of deposits with two customers that accounted for approximately 13% of its deposits, of which 8% belongs to one customer who has been banking with the Bank for more than 15 years.  The Bank expects to maintain this relationship with this long-time customer.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Since early March 2020, the effects from the spread of the COVID-19 virus (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) permeated virtually every aspect of society, and required management to quickly plan and implement multiple changes to Broadway’s operations to protect the health and welfare of the Bank’s employees and customers, while minimizing disruptions to the Bank’s ability to provide essential services.  These changes were based on guidance from various governmental entities, including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.  Among the changes that the Bank implemented were the following: more intensive cleaning and maintenance of the branches, distribution of personal protection equipment to employees, creation of safe distancing measures within the branches and all work areas, guidance to all employees regarding other safe practices, amended benefit policies to ease the burden on employees with children at home, or those experiencing symptoms of disease, development of plans for certain employees or departments to work from home, and the creation of contingency plans for potential further changes to operations.  To date, Broadway has not implemented layoffs or furloughs of any of our employees.

In addition, Broadway has developed plans and policies for providing financial relief to borrowers that may experience difficulties in meeting the terms of their loans, performed updated stress tests of the Bank’s loan portfolio using new assumptions reflecting potential significant impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic and related governmental stay-at-home orders, created contingency plans to respond if various aspects of the credit markets cease to operate in a normal manner, and implemented new lending guidelines that are designed to moderate the Bank’s loan concentration and enhance liquidity.  Management has been in regular communication with the Bank’s regulator regarding these new plans and policies. To date, the Bank has had no delinquencies related to COVID-19 and has not received any formal requests for loan modifications.

Broadway decided not to participate as a lender in the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) because management believes that it is more important and appropriate to maintain the Bank’s focus on existing clients, markets, and loan products.  In addition, the Bank has historically not offered SBA loans and has not had a significant client base or portfolio of commercial and industrial loans for which the PPP would have represented a product line extension.

On August 25, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CFBanc Corporation, a District of Columbia Benefit corporation (“City First”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, City First will merge with and into the Company (the “City First Merger”), with the Company surviving and continuing as the surviving entity. At the effective time of the City First Merger, (1) each share of City First’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.50 per share, and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.50 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares owned by City First or the Company and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into 13.626 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares, respectively, of the voting common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, which will be renamed Class A Common Stock, and a new class of non-voting common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, which will be named Class B Common Stock, and (2) each share of Fixed Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $0.50 per share, of City First (“City First Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the City First Merger will be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of a new series of preferred stock of the Company, which new series will be designated as the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, with such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, which taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the holders of City First Preferred Stock than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof of City First Preferred Stock. Immediately following the City First Merger, the Bank, will merge with and into City First Bank of D.C., National Association (“CFB”), a wholly owned subsidiary of City First, with CFB continuing as the surviving entity.

The Company’s total assets increased by $58.8 million to $499.2 million at September 30, 2020 from $440.4 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase in total assets primarily consisted of an increase of $54.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $40.7 million in loans receivable held for sale and an increase of $670 thousand in FHLB stock, offset by a decrease of $36.1 million in loans receivable held for investment and a net decrease of $634 thousand in securities available-for-sale.

Total liabilities increased by $58.4 million to $449.9 million at September 30, 2020 from $391.5 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in total liabilities primarily consisted of increases in advances from FHLB of $31.5 million, in deposits of $27.6 million and in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $508 thousand.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in junior subordinated debentures of $765 thousand and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $525 thousand.

The Company recorded a net loss of $244 thousand for the third quarter of 2020 compared to a net loss of $279 thousand for the third quarter of 2019. Net interest income increased by $985 thousand during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 due in part to growth in the loan portfolio, and a decrease in the cost of funds.  No loan loss provision was recorded during the third quarter of 2020, but a provision of $47 thousand was recorded during the third quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income was more than offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $588 thousand, a decrease in non-interest income of $138 thousand, and an increase in income tax expense of $271 thousand.  During the quarter, professional services expense increased to $840 thousand from $335 thousand during the third quarter of 2019, of which $595 thousand was associated with the pending City First Merger.  As the merger-related expenses are non-deductible, income tax expense was higher than expected by $167 thousand during the third quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $61 thousand compared to a net loss of $137 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an increase in net interest income of $1.6 million compared to the same period of 2019 due in part to growth in the loan portfolio and a decrease in the cost of funds. The Company recorded a loan loss provision of $29 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a loan loss recapture of $301 thousand recorded during the same period of 2019.  The increase in net interest income was more than offset by a $1.1 million increase in non-interest expense and a $214 thousand decrease in non-interest income. Professional services expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included $718 thousand of expenses related to the City First Merger, as well as $210 thousand of expenses incurred to respond to actions by a former stockholder.  Non-interest income decreased because the Bank received a grant of $233 thousand from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”) Fund during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, but did not receive a CDFI grant during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included an income tax credit adjustment of $273 thousand for a tax settlement with the California Franchise Tax Board, which more than offset the additional tax expense of $167 thousand associated with non-deductible merger costs.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $3.4 million, compared to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2019.  The increase primarily resulted from an increase in interest income of $559 thousand during the third quarter of 2020 due to higher interest income and fees on loans receivable of $707 thousand, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on securities of $31 thousand and a decrease in other interest income of $117 thousand.  Also, interest expense decreased by $426 thousand due to lower interest expense on deposits of $474 thousand, partially offset by higher interest expense on borrowings of $48 thousand.  The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $68.9 million during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of the prior year, and the net interest margin increased by 49 basis points to 2.82% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 2.33% for the third quarter of 2019.  The net interest margin increased because average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by more than the average rates earned on interest-earning assets.

Interest income and fees on loans receivable increased by $707 thousand to $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2020, from $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2019 due to an increase of $54.4 million in the average balance of loans receivable (including loans held for sale), which increased interest income by $566 thousand and an increase of 14 basis points in the average yield on loans, which increased interest income by $141 thousand.

Interest income on mortgage-backed and other securities decreased by $31 thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019.  The decrease in interest income on securities during the third quarter of 2020 primarily resulted from a decrease of $3.7 million in the average balance of securities, which decreased interest income by $22 thousand and a decrease of 28 basis points in the average yield on securities, which decreased interest income by $9 thousand.

Other interest income decreased by $117 thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of 198 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning deposits in other banks during the third quarter of 2020, which decreased interest income by $171 thousand, partially offset by an increase of $17.5 million in the average balance of interest-earning deposits in other banks, which increased interest income by $61 thousand.  In addition, there was a decrease of $7 thousand in dividends earned on FHLB stock during the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019 due to a decrease of 200 basis points in the average rate earned on FHLB stock, offset by an increase in average balance of FHLB stock of $670 thousand.

Interest expense on deposits decreased by $474 thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019.  The decrease was attributable to a decrease of 74 basis points in the average cost of deposits, which caused interest expense on deposits to decrease by $357 thousand and a decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $38.5 million, which decreased interest expense on certificates of deposit by $177 thousand.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average balance of money market deposits of $27.0 million, an increase in the average balance of passbook deposits of $13.2 million and an increase in NOW and other demand deposits of $27.4 million, which increased interest expense by $60 thousand.

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $48 thousand for the third quarter of 2020, compared to the third quarter of 2019.  The higher interest expense on borrowings during the third quarter of 2020 reflected a net increase of $39.5 million in average borrowings, due to an increase of $40.5 million in the average balance of FHLB advances, which increased interest expense by $207 thousand, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in the average balance of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures, which decreased interest expense by $20 thousand.  In addition, the average cost of FHLB advances decreased by 59 basis points during the third quarter of 2020, which decreased interest expense by $128 thousand, and the average cost of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures decreased by 196 basis points during the third quarter of 2020, which decreased interest expense by $11 thousand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net interest income increased by $1.6 million to $9.3 million compared to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The increase in net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily resulted from an increase in interest income of $1.2 million due to higher interest income on loans receivable of $1.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest income on securities of $89 thousand and a decrease in other interest income of $210 thousand.  Interest expense decreased by $399 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $576 thousand, which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on borrowings of $177 thousand.

Interest income and fees on loans receivable increased by $1.5 million during the nine months of 2020 due to an increase of $57.5 million in the average balance of loans receivable (including loans held for sale), which increased interest income by $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease of 8 basis points in the average yield on loans, which decreased interest income by $227 thousand.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Bank recorded an interest recovery of $162 thousand upon the payoff of one non-accrual church loan, compared to interest recoveries of $351 thousand upon the payoff of two non-accrual church loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Interest income on mortgage-backed and other securities decreased by $89 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019.  The decrease in interest income on securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily resulted from a decrease of $3.7 million in the average balance of securities, which decreased interest income by $70 thousand and a decrease of 20 basis points in the average yield on securities, which decreased interest income by $19 thousand.

Other interest income decreased by $210 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of 183 basis points in the average yield on interest-earning deposits in other banks during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which decreased interest income by $374 thousand, partially offset by an increase of $17.7 million in the average balance of interest-earning deposits in other banks, which increased interest income by $189 thousand.  In addition, there was a decrease of $25 thousand in dividends earned on FHLB stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of 2019 due to a decrease of 200 basis points in the average rate earned on FHLB stock, offset by an increase in average balance of FHLB stock of $494 thousand.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest expense on deposits decreased by $576 thousand compared to the same period of 2019. The decrease was attributable to a decrease of 40 basis points in the average cost of deposits, which caused interest expense on deposits to decrease by $547 thousand, and a decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $12.6 million, which decreased interest expense on certificates of deposit by $187 thousand. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the average balance of money market deposits of $19.0 million, an increase in the average balance of passbook deposits of $8.1 million and an increase in the average balance of NOW and other demand deposits of $19.1 million, which increased interest expense by $158 thousand.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest expense on borrowings increased by $177 thousand, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The higher interest expense on borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflected a net increase of $37.5 million in average borrowings, due to an increase of $38.4 million in the average balance of FHLB advances, which increased interest expense by $577 thousand, offset by a decrease of $957 thousand in the average balance of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures, which decreased interest expense by $33 thousand.  The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of FHLB advances of 51 basis points, which decreased interest expense by $313 thousand, and a decrease in the average cost of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures of 164 basis points, which decreased interest expense by $54 thousand.

The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by 8 basis points to 2.57% from 2.49% for the same period in 2019, primarily due to lower average rates paid on all deposit types.

The following tables set forth the 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, but the balance of these loans is included in the total average balance of loans receivable, which has the effect of reducing average loan yields.

The Bank did not record any loan loss provision or recapture during the third quarter of 2020 and recorded a loan loss provision of $29 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for economic uncertainties related to the COVID-19 Pandemic.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Bank recorded a loan loss recovery of $4 thousand.  At September 30, 2020, the Bank maintained its ALLL at $3.2 million, despite a net decrease of $36.1 million in the loans held for investment portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  No loan charge-offs were recorded during the third quarter and the nine months of 2020.

The Bank recorded a loan loss provision of $47 thousand and loan loss provision recaptures of $301 thousand during the third quarter and nine months of 2019.  Cash recoveries of $190 thousand were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  No loan charge-offs were recorded during the third quarter or the nine months of 2019.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $206 thousand, compared to $344 thousand for the third quarter of 2019.  Non-interest income decreased by $138 thousand primarily because the Bank recorded a lower gain on sale of loans of $128 thousand during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.  In addition, during the third quarter of 2020, income from service charges decreased by $23 thousand, offset by an increase of $13 thousand in other income, compared to the third quarter of 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, non-interest income totaled $645 thousand compared to $859 thousand for the same period one year ago.  The decrease of $214 thousand in non-interest income was primarily due to a grant of $233 thousand from the CDFI Fund received during the first quarter of 2019, as well as a decrease in income from service charges of $22 thousand, offset by an increase in other income of $46 thousand.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $3.7 million, compared to $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2019.  The increase of $588 thousand in non-interest expense during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter of 2019 was primarily due to an increase of $505 thousand in professional services expense, as well as increases of $33 thousand in compensation and benefits expense, $25 thousand in office services and supplies expense, $11 thousand in information services expense, and $36 thousand in other expenses items, primarily due to higher FDIC insurance expense.  These increases were partially offset by decreases of $10 thousand in amortization of investment in affordable housing limited partnership and $17 thousand in loan related expenses.

The increase of $505 thousand in professional services expense was due to increases of $439 thousand of legal fees and $156 thousand of financial advisory and consulting fees related to the pending City First Merger,  and legal and consulting fees of $10 thousand incurred to respond to activities conducted by a former stockholder against the Company.  The activities and related litigation were subsequently withdrawn by the former stockholder early in the third quarter of 2020.  These increases in professional services expense were partially offset by a decrease of $128 thousand in legal fees related to matters other than the merger or stockholder activities and a decrease of $2 thousand in audit fees.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, non-interest expense totaled $10.3 million, compared to $9.2 million for the same period a year ago.  The increase of $1.1 million in non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $766 thousand in professional services expense, $314 thousand in compensation and benefits expense, $153 thousand in office services and supplies, $43 thousand in information services expense and $22 thousand in occupancy expense. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $55 thousand in amortization of investment in affordable housing limited partnership, $54 thousand in loan related expenses and $25 thousand in other expense.

The increase of $766 thousand in professional services expense was primarily due to an increase of $582 thousand in legal fees, of which $470 thousand related to the pending City First Merger and $210 thousand related to legal expenses incurred to respond to activities conducted by a former stockholder against the Company, offset by a decrease of $98 thousand in legal fees related to other matters.  Also, financial advisory and consulting services fees increased by $300 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago due primarily to $248 thousand in expenses related to the pending merger.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $116 thousand in outsourced audit fees.  The increase of $314 thousand in compensation and benefits expense was primarily due to increases in salary costs of $265 thousand, increases in vacation expense of $44 thousand and lower deferred loan origination costs of $68 thousand as there were fewer multi-family loans originated for the loan portfolio during 2020 compared to 2019. These increases were offset by lower employee stock costs of $32 thousand and lower temporary help expense of $29 thousand.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense or benefit is computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% and the California income tax rate of 10.84% to taxable income or loss.  The Company recorded income tax expense of $95 thousand and an income tax benefit of $300 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of $176 thousand and $262 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.  The increase in income tax expense during the third quarter of 2020 was primarily due to non-deductible expenses related to the City First Merger.  The income tax benefit recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to a tax adjustment of $273 thousand upon the resolution of an outstanding audit issue with the California Franchise Tax Board for tax years 2009 to 2013, offset by the additional tax expense associated with the non-deductible merger related expenses.  In addition, the Company recorded low-income housing tax credits of $29 thousand and $87 thousand during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $50 thousand and $149 thousand during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The Company had no valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets, which totaled $5.3 million at September 30, 2020 and $5.2 million at December 31, 2019.

Financial Condition

Total Assets

Total assets increased by $58.8 million to $499.2 million at September 30, 2020 from $440.4 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase in total assets was comprised primarily of an increase of $54.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $40.7 million in loans receivable held for sale and an increase of $670 thousand in FHLB stock.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $36.1 million in loans held for investment and a net decrease of $634 thousand in securities available-for-sale.

Loans Receivable Held for Sale

Loans receivable held for sale totaled $40.7 million at September 30, 2020.  There were no loans held for sale as of December 31, 2019.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Bank originated $118.6 million of multi-family loans for sale and sold $77.4 million of loans held for sale for a gain of $199 thousand.  Repayments of loans receivable held for sale totaled $529 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

Loans receivable held for investment, net of the allowance for loan losses, totaled $361.8 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $397.8 million at December 31, 2019.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Bank originated $6.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $2.6 multi-family loans and $728 thousand in construction loans for the loans held-for-investment portfolio.  Loan repayments during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $45.5 million.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

As a small banking institution, Broadway is not required to adopt the CECL accounting standard until 2023; consequently, the Bank’s allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) is based on evidence available at the date of preparation of its financial statements, rather than projections of future economic conditions over the life of the loans.  In determining the adequacy of the ALLL within the context of the current uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, management has considered the historical and current performance of the Bank’s portfolio, as well as various measures of the quality and safety of the portfolio, such as debt servicing and loan-to-value ratios.  Management is continuing to monitor the loan portfolio and regularly communicating with borrowers to determine the continuing adequacy of the ALLL.

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 $3.2 million or 0.88% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at September 30, 2020 compared to $3.2 million or 0.79% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at December 31, 2019. The levels of ALLL at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 reflect the result of our quarterly review of the adequacy of the ALLL.  During the third quarter of 2020, the Bank did not record a loan loss provision or recapture but recorded a loan loss provision of $29 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  During the first quarter of 2020 the Bank recorded additional provisions to increase the ALLL for economic uncertainties related to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

As of September 30, 2020, we had experienced $84 thousand in less than 90-day delinquencies on two single-family loans, compared to $18 thousand at December 31, 2019.  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 September 30, 2020, NPLs totaled $820 thousand, compared to $424 thousand at December 31, 2019.  The increase of $396 thousand in NPLs was due to an addition of a non-accrual church loan, offset partially by repayments of the existing NPL loans.

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 September 30, 2020, all our non-performing loans, except one single-family loan with $8 thousand unpaid balance, were current in their payments.  Also, in determining the ALLL, we considered the ratio of the ALLL to NPLs, which decreased to 392.1% at September 30, 2020 from 750.5% at December 31, 2019.

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 have been 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 twelve 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 increases in collateral values, the average recorded investment in NPLs was only 37% of estimated fair value less estimated selling costs as of September 30, 2020.

Recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $4 thousand and $190 thousand, respectively. The recovery during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulted from the payoff of one single-family loan that had been previously partially charged off.  Recoveries during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted from the payoff of two church loans that had been previously partially charged off.

Impaired loans at September 30, 2020 were $4.8 million, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2019.  The decrease of $543 thousand in impaired loans was primarily due to the sale of a non-accrual church loan and repayments.  Specific reserves for impaired loans were $148 thousand, or 3.08% of the aggregate impaired loan amount at September 30, 2020, compared to $147 thousand, or 2.75% at December 31, 2019.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law by Congress. The CARES Act provides financial institutions, under specific circumstances, the opportunity to temporarily suspend certain requirements under generally accepted accounting principles related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR’s”) for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19.  In March 2020, a joint statement was issued by federal and state regulatory agencies, after consultation with the FASB, to clarify that short-term loan modifications, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms or other insignificant payment delays, are not TDRs if made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief. Under this guidance, six months or less is provided as an example of short-term, and current is defined as less than 30 days past due at the time the modification program is implemented.  The guidance also provides that these modified loans generally will not be classified as non-accrual loans during the term of the modification.

The Bank has implemented a loan modification program for the effects of COVID-19 on its borrowers. At the date of this filing, no borrowers have requested loan modifications. To date, no modifications have been granted to any borrowers.

In July of 2020, the $600 per week Federal stimulus payments that had been granted to individuals since the start of the Pandemic were terminated.  As a result, some tenants may be unable to make their monthly rent payments.  However, the risk to the Bank’s multi-family loan portfolio is mitigated by the low loan-to-value ratios (less than 58%) and high debt service coverage ratios (over 1.54%) of the multi-family loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020.  In addition, the Bank’s borrowers generally have high cash reserves and sufficient net worth to service their loans.

We believe that our ALLL is adequate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020, but because of the current uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, there can be no assurance that actual losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.  In addition, the OCC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“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 decreased by $69 thousand to $2.7 million at September 30, 2020 from $2.8 million as of December 31, 2019.  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 was $326 thousand as of September 30, 2020.

Total Liabilities

Total liabilities increased by $58.3 million to $449.9 million at September 30, 2020 from $391.5 million at December 31, 2019.  The increase in total liabilities was comprised primarily of an increase of $31.5 million in FHLB advances and an increase of $27.6 million in deposits.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $765 thousand in the Company’s junior subordinated debentures.

Deposits

Deposits increased by $27.6 million to $325.3 million at September 30, 2020 from $297.7 million at December 31, 2019, which consisted of an increase of $70.1 million in liquid deposits and a decrease of $42.5 million in certificates of deposit.  Total liquid deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) increased to $177.6 million at September 30, 2020, which represented 55% of total deposits, from $107.5 million at December 31, 2019 which represented 36% of total deposits.

Certificates of deposit (“CDs”) decreased by $42.5 million during the nine months of 2020 to $147.7 million at September 30, 2020, which represented 45% of total deposits, from $190.2 million at December 31, 2019, which represented 64% of total deposits.  The decrease in CDs was primarily due to net decreases in CDARS deposits of $24.5 million and a net decrease in accounts acquired through a deposit listing service of $9.9 million and a net decrease in retail CDs of $8.1 million.  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 September 30, 2020, we had approximately $25.0 million in CDARS Reciprocal and $31.1 million in CDARS One-Way Buy, compared to 39.3 million in CDARS Reciprocal and $40.7 million in CDARS One-Way Buy at December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank had a significant concentration of deposits with two customers that accounted for approximately 13% of its deposits, of which 8% belongs to one customer who has been banking with the Bank for more than 15 years.  The Bank expects to maintain this relationship with our long-time customer.

Borrowings

Total borrowings increased by $30.7 million to $119.1 million at September 30, 2020 from $88.3 million at December 31, 2019 due to an increase of $31.5 million in advances from the FHLB, offset by a decrease of $765 thousand in our junior subordinated floating rate debentures.

The weighted average interest rate on the FHLB Advances decreased to 1.86% at September 30, 2020 from 2.32% at December 31, 2019, primarily due lower weighted average rate on new advances in replacements of the matured ones. The weighted average interest rate on the subordinated floating rate debentures decreased to 2.96% at September 30, 2020 from 4.44% at December 31, 2019, primarily due to decreases in LIBOR.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity was $49.4 million, or 9.89% of the Company’s total assets, at September 30, 2020, compared to $48.8 million, or 11.09% of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2019.  The Company’s book value was $1.76 per share as of September 30, 2020, compared to $1.75 per share as of December 31, 2019.

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 40% 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 $31.1 million at September 30, 2020.  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 September 30, 2020 consisted of $69.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $10.4 million in securities available-for-sale that were not pledged, compared to $15.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $11.0 million in securities available-for-sale that were not pledged at December 31, 2019.  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 2020 and 2019.  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 outflows from operating activities of $39.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash inflows from operating activities of $8.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  Net cash outflows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily attributable to originations of loans receivable held for sale of $118.6 million, compared to $15.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, offset primarily by proceeds from sales of loans receivable held for sale of $77.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $23.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company recorded consolidated net cash inflows from investing activities of $35.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash outflows of $6.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  Net cash inflows from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily attributable to a net cash inflow of $35.8 million from loans receivable held for investment, compared to a net cash outflow of $8.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  Net cash inflows from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were offset primarily by net cash outflows of $850 thousand for purchases of available-for-sale municipal bonds, $670 thousand for the purchase of FHLB stock and $501 thousand for the purchase of office properties and equipment.  The Company did not purchase FHLB stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and recorded a net cash outflow of $33 thousand for the purchase of office properties and equipment during the same period.  In addition, the Company recorded $820 thousand in proceeds from sales of REO during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, but the Company did not record any proceeds from sales of REO during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company recorded consolidated net cash inflows from financing activities of $58.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash inflows from financing activities of $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.  Net cash inflows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily attributable to a net increase in deposits of $27.6 million and proceeds from FHLB advances of $66.0 million, offset by repayments of FHLB advances of $34.5 million and repayments of junior subordinated debentures of $765 thousand.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net increase in proceeds from FHLB advances of $13.0 million, offset by repayments of FHLB advances of $8.0 million, a net decrease in deposits of $1.3 million and repayments of junior subordinated debentures of $510 thousand.

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 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
