Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

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, 2013 and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such audited consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Some items in the consolidated financial statements for the prior period were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  Reclassifications had no effect on prior period consolidated net earnings or stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB amended ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”.  These amendments provide that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except that to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of a tax position, or the tax law does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability.  These amendments are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  Adopting this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial condition.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, “Investments— Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects.”  ASU 2014-01 permits a reporting entity to make an accounting policy election to account for its investments in affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.  Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense or benefit.  ASU 2014-01 becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of ASU 2014-01 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.  The Company is assessing the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables— Trouble Debt Restructurings by Creditors.”  ASU 2014-04 requires entities to reclassify consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate to REO when either (1) the creditor obtains legal title to the residential real estate property or (2) the borrower conveys all interest in the property to the creditor to satisfy the loan by completing a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar agreement.  A reporting entity is required to make interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in process of foreclosure.  ASU 2014-04 becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014.  Adoption of ASU 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
