BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 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”, and collectively, with the Company, “Broadway”). 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 months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

 

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. We will evaluate this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-13 to determine its impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

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 March 31, 2020.

 

NOTE (2) Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

 

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

 

The following table shows how the Company computed basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the periods indicated:

 

    For the three months ended March 31,  
    2020     2019  
    (In thousands, except share
and per share data)
 
Net (loss) income   $ (33 )   $ 277  
Less net income attributable to participating securities     -       4  
Net (loss) income available to common stockholders   $ (33 )   $ 273  
                 
                 
Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per common share     26,962,317       26,546,315  
Add: dilutive effects of assumed exercises of stock options     -       -  
Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share     26,962,317       26,546,315  
                 
(Loss) earnings per common share - basic   $ (0.00 )   $ 0.01  
(Loss) earnings per common share - diluted   $ (0.00 )   $ 0.01  

 

Stock options for 450,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and stock options for 455,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolios as of the periods indicated and the corresponding amounts of unrealized gains which were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income:

 

   Amortized Cost   Gross Unrealized Gains   Gross Unrealized Losses   Fair Value

The Bank also had 22 federal agency mortgage-backed securities with total amortized cost of $7.3 million, estimated total fair value of $7.6 million and an estimated average remaining life of 3.04 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. At March 31, 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.

 

There were no sales of securities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

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

 

NOTE (4) Loans Receivable Held for Sale

 

Loans receivable held for sale at March 31, 2020 totaled $45.5 million and consisted of multi-family loans. The Bank did not have any loans held for sale at December 31,2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank originated $66.0 million of multi-family loans for sale and sold $20.5 million of loans held for sale. There were no loan sales during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Loan repayments totaled $55 thousand and $24 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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 $23 thousand and $40 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and were not included in the consolidated results of operations.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

At March 31, 2020, loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) totaled $4.5 million, of which $265 thousand were included in non-accrual loans and $4.3 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 $149 thousand and $147 thousand of specific reserves for TDRs as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 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.

 

§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.

 

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 (6) 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 fixed assets 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 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 $594 thousand and an operating lease liability of $603 thousand as of March 31, 2020. The Bank has no finance leases.

 

The Bank recorded operating lease expense costs of $121 thousand and $123 thousand for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Additional information regarding our operating leases is summarized below as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

 

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for operating leases:  $86

NOTE (7) Junior Subordinated Debentures

 

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 3.38% at March 31, 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 required 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 March 31, 2020, the Company had repaid a total of $1.0 million of the scheduled principal. The Debentures may be called for redemption at any time by the Company.

 

NOTE (8) 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.

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

 

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.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

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 statement of 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 March 31, 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.

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 (9) – Stock-based Compensation

 

Prior to July 25, 2018, the Company issued stock-based compensation awards to its directors and employees under the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 LTIP”). The 2008 LTIP permitted the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards for up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. As of July 25, 2018, the Company ceased granting awards under the 2008 LTIP.

On July 25, 2018, the stockholders approved the 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2018 LTIP”). As with the 2008 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 December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2019, 458,932 shares had been awarded and 834,177 shares are available under the 2018 LTIP.

 

In February 2018 and April 2017, the Company awarded 97,195 and 129,270 of cash settled restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to its CEO under the 2008 LTIP. All RSUs vest at the end of two years from the date of the grant and are subject to forfeiture until vested. Each RSU entitles the CEO to receive cash equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the applicable payout date. Compensation expense is determined based on the fair value of the award and is re measured at each reporting period and is classified as a liability in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company recorded $147 thousand and $54 thousand of compensation expense related to these awards during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of February 28, 2020, the RSUs were fully vested, and all compensation costs related to the vested RSUs were fully recognized.

 

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.

 

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 quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $71 thousand of stock based compensation expense related to these awards. As of March 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards was $430 thousand which is expected to be recognized over a period of 23 months.

 

No stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE (10) – 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 $17 thousand and $14 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows:

 

   March  31, 2020   December 31, 2019 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
     
Allocated to participants   1,024,429    1,024,429

Total ESOP shares   1,638,721    1,638,721 
Fair value of unearned shares  $777   $930 
           

 

At March 31, 2020, 20,832 of ESOP shares were committed to be allocated to participants during 2020. During 2019 and 2018, 42,321 and 43,009 of ESOP shares were released for allocation to participants, respectively. Unearned shares, which are reported as Unearned ESOP shares in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial condition, were $942 thousand and $959 thousand at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

NOTE (11) – 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.

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

 

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 was also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer was phased in beginning 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 contain revisions to the prompt corrective action 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 are designed to complement the capital conservation buffer, insured depository institutions are now 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).

 

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). At March 31, 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 (12) – Income Taxes

 

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 evaluated 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 no valuation allowance was required on its deferred tax assets, which totaled $5.2 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Due to economic uncertainties posed by the current COVID-19 Pandemic, there can be no assurance that a valuation allowance will not be required in future periods.

 

NOTE (13) – Concentration of Deposit Risk

 

The Bank has a significant concentration of deposits with two customers that accounted for approximately 13% of its deposits as of March 31, 2020. The Bank expects to maintain the relationships with these customers for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies, which are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

 

Overview

 

During 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 creation of contingency plans for potential further changes to operations. 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 in case 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.

 

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.

Total assets increased by $65.6 million to $506.0 million at March 31, 2020 from $440.4 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in total assets primarily consisted of an increase of $45.5 million in loans receivable held for sale and an increase of $36.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease of $16.5 million in loans receivable held for investment.

 

Total liabilities increased by $65.4 million to $457.0 million at March 31, 2020 from $391.5 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in total liabilities primarily consisted of an increase in deposits of $35.4 million and an increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) of $31.0 million. These were partially offset by decreases in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $548 thousand, junior subordinated debentures of $255 thousand, and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $184 thousand.

 

For the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a consolidated net loss of $33 thousand, compared to consolidated net income of $277 thousand for the first quarter of 2019. Earnings during the first quarter of 2020 were favorably impacted by increases in net interest income of $85 thousand, service charges on deposits of $22 thousand, miscellaneous fee income of $25 thousand and lower professional services fees of $75 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2019. Earnings were negatively impacted, however, by a provision for loan losses of $29 thousand during the first quarter of 2020 compared to a loan loss provision recapture of $190 thousand in the first quarter of 2019 and by an increase in compensation costs of $173 thousand. In addition, 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 first quarter of 2019, but did not receive a grant during the first quarter of 2020.

Results of Operations

 

Net Interest Income

 

For the first quarter of 2020, net interest income was $2.9 million, compared to $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2019. The increase of $85 thousand in net interest income primarily resulted from higher interest and fees on loans receivable, which were partially offset by lower interest income on other interest earning assets and higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $59.0 million compared to the first quarter of the prior year, but this increase was partially offset by a decrease of 27 basis points in the net interest margin.

 

Interest and fees on loans receivable increased by $244 thousand to $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2020, from $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2019. The increase in interest and fees on loans receivable primarily resulted from an increase of $51.4 million in the average balance of loans receivable, which increased interest income by $539 thousand. This was offset by a decrease of 30 basis points in average yield on loans, which decreased interest income by $295 thousand. The decrease in yield was attributable to lower loan rates, as well as a lower level of recorded interest recoveries, during the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019. The Bank recorded an interest recovery of $162 thousand upon the payoff of one non-accrual church loan sold during the first quarter of 2020, compared to interest recoveries of $351 thousand upon the payoff of two non-accrual loans during the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in interest recoveries caused the average yield on loans to decline by 18 basis points.

 

Interest on investment securities decreased by $28 thousand to $70 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, from $98 thousand for the first quarter of 2019, due to a decrease of $3.6 million in the average balance of securities and a decrease of 13 basis points in the average interest rate earned on securities.

 

Other interest income decreased by $18 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of 133 basis points in the average rate earned on interest-earning deposits in other banks, which decreased interest income by $73 thousand, offset by an increase of $11.1 million in the average interest-earning deposit balance, which increased interest income by $51 thousand. In addition, there was an increase of $4 thousand in dividends earned on FHLB stock during the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019 due to an increase of $206 thousand in the average balance of FHLB stock which primarily resulted from an additional purchase of $594 thousand in FHLB stock during the first quarter of 2020.

 

Interest expense on deposits increased by $28 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in interest expense on deposits primarily resulted from an increase of $26.3 million in the average interest-bearing deposit balance, which increased interest expense by $53 thousand, offset by a decrease of 9 basis points in the average cost of deposits, which decreased interest expense by $25 thousand.

 

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $85 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2019. The higher interest expense on borrowings reflected a net increase of $31.4 million in average borrowings, due to an increase of $32.2 million in the average balance of FHLB advances, offset by a decrease of $810 thousand in the average balance of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The increase in average borrowings increased interest expense by $167 thousand, which was partially offset by a decrease of 43 basis points in the overall cost of borrowings, which decreased interest expense by $82 thousand.

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

Loan loss provision/recapture

 

The Bank recorded a loan loss provision of $29 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, compared to a loan loss provision recapture of $190 thousand for the first quarter of 2019. The loan loss provision for the first quarter of 2020 was recorded to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) because of the economic uncertainties related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, while the loan loss provision recapture for the first quarter of 2019 primarily resulted from cash recoveries upon the full payoff of two partially charged off church loans. There were no charge-offs during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 or March 31, 2019.

 

At March 31, 2020, the ALLL was $3.2 million, or 0.84% of our gross loans receivable held for investment, compared to $3.2 million, or 0.79% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020, the ALLL as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 1,146.8% from 750.5% at the end of 2019 as the Bank decreased total non-performing loans by $144 thousand during the first quarter to $280 thousand at March 31, 2020.

 

As a small banking institution, Broadway is not required to adopt the CECL accounting standard until 2023; consequently, the Bank’s 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. Through the end of April 2020, the Bank had only experienced two delinquencies for loans totaling $612 thousand, or 0.16% of the total portfolio, and requests for loan relief on two other loans totaling $851 thousand, or 0.22% of the total portfolio. Management is continuing to monitor the loan portfolio and regularly communicating with borrowers to determine the continuing adequacy of the ALLL.

 

Non-interest Income

 

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2020 totaled $197 thousand, compared to $376 thousand for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in non-interest income of $179 thousand was due to a grant of $233 thousand received from the CDFI Fund in the first quarter of 2019; all other components of non-interest income increased during the first quarter of 2020, including increases in other non-interest income of $25 thousand, service charges of $22 thousand, and gain on sale of loans of $7 thousand.

 

Non-interest Expense

 

Total non-interest expense was $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, which was substantially the same as the total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2019. Overall, non-interest expense increased by $89 thousand, primarily reflecting an increase of $173 thousand in compensation and benefits expense and an increase of $29 thousand in information services expense, partially offset by a decrease of $75 thousand in professional services expense and a decrease of $46 thousand in other expense primarily due to a decrease of $31 thousand in REO expense.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% and the California income tax rate of 10.84% to taxable income. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $50 thousand for the first quarter of 2020, compared to income tax expense of $42 thousand for the first quarter of 2019. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a benefit of 60.2% for the first quarter of 2020 and an expense of 13.20% for the first quarter of 2019, due to low-income housing tax credits available during the first quarter of 2020.

 

Financial Condition

 

Loans Receivable Held for Sale

 

Loans receivable held for sale increased to $45.5 million at March 31, 2020 while there were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank originated $66.0 million of multi-family loans for sale and sold $20.5 million of loans held for sale for a gain of $7 thousand. We received $55 thousand in principal repayments on loans receivable held for sale during the first quarter of 2020, compared to $24 thousand during the first quarter of 2019. No loans were originated for sale during the first quarter of 2019.

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

 

Loans receivable held for investment, net of the allowance for loan losses, decreased by $16.5 million to $381.3 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $397.8 million at December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank did not originate any loans held for investment except for a net draw of $139 thousand on construction loans. The decrease was primarily due to loan repayments of $16.5 million and the sale of one church loan of $120 thousand during the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2019, the Bank originated $18.0 million of multi-family loans and $1.1 million of commercial real estate loans for its portfolio. Loan repayments totaled $11.7 million during the first quarter of 2019.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

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 0.84% of our gross loans receivable held for investment at March 31, 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 reflect the result of our quarterly review of the adequacy of the ALLL. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank recorded a loan loss provision of $29 thousand to increase ALLL because of the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As a small banking institution, Broadway is not required to adopt the CECL accounting standard until 2023; consequently, the Bank’s 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. Through the end of April 2020, the Bank had only experienced two delinquencies for loans totaling $612 thousand, or 0.16% of the total portfolio, and requests for loan relief on two other loans totaling $851 thousand, or 0.22% of the total portfolio. Management is continuing to monitor the loan portfolio and regularly communicating with borrowers to determine the continuing adequacy of the ALLL.

 

As of March 31, 2020, we had total delinquencies of $14 thousand, 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 March 31, 2020, NPLs totaled $280 thousand, compared to $424 thousand at December 31, 2019. The decrease of $144 thousand in NPLs was due to a sale of a non-accrual church loan and repayments.

 

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 March 31, 2020, we had one single family non-performing loan totaling $14 thousand that was not current its payments. Also, in determining the ALLL, we considered the ratio of the ALLL to NPLs, which increased to 1,146.8% at March 31, 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 19% of estimated fair value less estimated selling costs as of March 31, 2020.

Impaired loans at March 31, 2020 were $5.2 million, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease of $190 thousand in impaired loans was primarily due to sale of a non-accrual church loan and repayments. Specific reserves for impaired loans were $149 thousand, or 2.89% of the aggregate impaired loan amount at March 31, 2020, compared to $147 thousand, or 2.74% at December 31, 2019. Excluding specific reserves for impaired loans, our coverage ratio (general allowance as a percentage of total non-impaired loans) was 0.80% at March 31, 2020, compared to 0.76% 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 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 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, only two borrowers have requested loan modifications. Both borrowers are in the process of completing the modification package, and both borrowers were current at the time modification program was implemented.

 

We believe that the ALLL is adequate to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 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.

 

Deferred Tax Assets

 

Management has assessed the realization of the deferred tax assets based on positive and negative evidence, the amount of taxes paid in available carry back years, and the forecasts of future income and tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, no valuation allowance was recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets, which totaled $5.2 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Due to economic uncertainties posed by the current COVID-19 Pandemic, there can be no assurance that a valuation allowance will not be required in future periods.

 

Office Properties and Equipment

 

Net office properties and equipment decreased by $52 thousand to $2.7 million at March 31, 2020 from $2.8 million at 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 asset was $594 thousand at March 31, 2020.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits increased by $35.4 million to $333.1 million at March 31, 2020 from $297.7 million at December 31, 2019, which consisted of an increase of $42.7 million in liquid deposits and a decrease of $7.3 million in certificates of deposit. Liquid deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) increased to $150.2 million at March 31, 2020, which represented 45%of total deposits, from $107.5 million, which represented 36% of total deposits at December 31, 2019.

 

27

 

 

Certificates of deposit (“CDs”) decreased by $7.3 million during the first quarter of 2020 to $183.0 million at March 31, 2020, which represented 55% 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 a net decrease in CDARS deposits of $23.1 million offset by a net increase in retail CDs of $15.3 million and a net increase in online CDs of $500 thousand. 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 March 31, 2020, we had approximately $14.7 million in CDARS Reciprocal and $42.6 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.

 

One customer relationship accounted for approximately 9% and 10% of our deposits at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We expect to maintain this relationship with the customer for the foreseeable future.

 

Borrowings

 

Total borrowings increased by $30.8 million to $119.1 million at March 31, 2020 from $88.3 million at December 31, 2019 due to an increase of $31.0 million in advances from the FHLB, offset by a decrease of $255 thousand in our junior subordinated floating rate debentures.

 

The weighted average interest rate on the FHLB Advances decreased to 2.00% at March 31, 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 3.38% at March 31, 2020 from 4.44% at December 31, 2019, primarily due to decreases in LIBOR.

 

Stockholders’ Equity

 

Stockholders' equity was $49.1 million, or 9.70% of the Company’s total assets, at March 31, 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 $1.75 per share as of March 31, 2020 and 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 $41.6 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 2020 consisted of $51.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $10.7 million in securities available-for-sale that were not pledged, compared to $15.6 million in cash and cash equivalent 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 $46.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash inflows from operating activities of $229 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash outflows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily attributable to an increase in originations of loans receivable held for sale of $66.0 million, offset primarily by proceeds from sales and repayments of loans receivable held for sale of $20.5 million.

 

The Company recorded consolidated net cash inflows from investing activities of $16.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash outflows of $7.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash inflows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily attributable to net repayments of loans held for investment of $16.4 million.

 

The Company recorded consolidated net cash inflows from financing activities of $66.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to consolidated net cash inflows from financing activities of $10.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net cash inflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily attributable to a net increase in deposits of $35.4 million and FHLB advances (net of repayments) of $31.0 million.

 

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 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
