State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Registrant”) was unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023, because of delays in obtaining the information necessary to complete the new disclosure requirements for the quarter associated with the allowance for credit losses and the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. We have now obtained the information necessary to allow for the completion of the disclosures and will be filing the Form 10-Q concurrently with this Form 12b-25.

Forward-Looking Statements

This filing contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words such as “will” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our beliefs and expectations relating to the filing of Form 10-Q for first quarter of 2023 and the results of the ongoing review. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future events or results and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in the Registrant’s financial reporting, including the possibility that the Registrant will not be able to file Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2023 within the five-day extension period permitted by the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
