Note 2 – Business Combination

The Company completed its merger with CFBanc Corporation on April 1, 2021, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “CFBanc Merger”). Immediately following this merger, Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b., a subsidiary of Broadway Financial Corporation, merged with and into City First Bank of D.C., National Association, with City First Bank of D.C., National Association continuing as the surviving entity (which concurrently changed its name to City First Bank, National Association). The Company recorded $5.6 million in direct transaction costs in connection with the merger during 2021, which were comprised of $3.2 million in compensation costs and $2.4 million in professional services costs.

On April 1, 2021, (1) each share of CFBanc Corporation’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 CFBanc Merger was 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 were renamed Class A Common Stock, and a new class of non-voting common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, which was 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 CFBanc Corporation (“CFBanc Corporation Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CFBanc Merger was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of a new series of preferred stock of the Company, which was 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 CFBanc Corporation Preferred Stock than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof of CFBanc Corporation Preferred Stock. The total value of the consideration transferred to CFBanc Corporation shareholders was approximately $66.3 million, which was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2021, the last trading day prior to the consummation of the merger.

The Company accounted for the CFBanc Merger under the acquisition method of accounting which requires purchased assets and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company determined the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities with the assistance of third-party valuation firms. Goodwill in the amount of $26.0 million was recognized in the CFBanc Merger. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from net assets acquired that are not individually identified and separately recognized and are attributable to synergies expected to be derived from the combination of the two entities. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes; rather, it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, by comparing its carrying value to the reporting unit’s fair value. Goodwill recognized in this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table represents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CFBanc Merger as of April 1, 2021, and the fair value adjustments and amounts recorded by the Company as of the same date under the acquisition method of accounting:
