Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”), parent company of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the “Bank”), has received a letter, dated November 22, 2011, from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company has not yet filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2011. Rule 5250(c)(1) requires that Nasdaq listed companies file their required periodic financial reports with the SEC on a timely basis.

The Company is not able to complete its financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and therefore is not able to complete preparation of its third quarter 2011 Form 10-Q pending resolution of questions relating to when a payment is due under the tax sharing agreement between the Company and the Bank, the required amount of such payment and the effect of such payment, when made, on the cash position of the Company on a separate company basis.

Under the Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market, the Company must submit a plan to Nasdaq within 60 calendar days from the date of its receipt of the Nasdaq letter for coming into compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the Listing Rules further provide that Nasdaq may grant an exception to the Company of up to 180 calendar days from the original due date of the Company’s Form 10-K, which would be until May 14, 2012, to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company expects to file its 2011 Form 10-Q in the near future.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 28, 2011 the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Nasdaq deficiency letter described above under “Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.” A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
