       Broadway Financial Corporation Reports 11% Increase in Net Earnings

LOS  ANGELES,  CA -  (BUSINESS  WIRE)  -  July  29,  2003 -  Broadway  Financial
Corporation  (the "Company")  (NASDAQ  Small-Cap:  BYFC), the holding company of
Broadway  Federal  Bank,  f.s.b.  (the "Bank"),  today  reported net earnings of
$356,000 and $720,000 or $0.18 and $0.36 per diluted share for the three and six
months ended June 30,  2003,  compared to $322,000  and  $648,000,  or $0.18 and
$0.35 per diluted  share,  respectively  for the three and six months ended June
30, 2002.  Compared to 2002,  second quarter  earnings  increased 10.56% and net
earnings for the six months increased 11.11%.

President Paul C. Hudson stated,  "We improved net interest income by increasing
interest-earning  assets,  which offset margin  compression and accelerated loan
prepayments.  Going  forward  management  continues to be focused on growing net
loan originations."

Net Earnings

The increase in net earnings in 2003 over 2002 was primarily attributable to the
increase in net interest income and non-interest  income,  offset by an increase
in  non-interest  expense.  Net interest  income after provision for loan losses
increased $92,000 and $163,000, or 4.59% and 4.09%, respectively,  for the three
and six  months  ended  June 30,  2003  compared  to the same  periods  in 2002.
Non-interest  income  increased  $125,000  and  $178,000,  or 56.56% and 38.95%,
respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003  compared to the
same periods in 2002.  Non-interest expense increased $168,000 and $251,000,  or
9.92% and 7.47%, respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to the same periods in 2002.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income after provision for loan losses  increased to $2,097,000 and
$4,152,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, from $2,005,000 and
$3,989,000  for the same  periods  in 2002.  A six  month  rate/volume  analysis
indicates  that the $163,000  increase in net interest  income in 2003 over 2002
was   primarily   attributable   to  the   impact  of  the   growth  in  average
interest-earning  assets  of $33.8  million,  or  19.71%,  and  interest-bearing
liabilities  of $30.9 million,  or 19.08%,  which resulted in an increase in net
interest income of $731,000 (volume impact),  offset by the impact of a decrease
in the net interest rate spread of 58 basis points, which resulted in a decrease
in net interest income of $568,000 (rate impact).


                                       4


Loan  originations  were $6.6  million  and $19.0  million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003  compared to $8.3  million and $13.4  million for the
same periods in 2002. Loan purchases  totaled $14.2 million in the first quarter
of 2003. No loans were purchased in the 2002 periods or in the second quarter of
2003.  Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") purchases were $10.0 million and $12.0
million  for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2003  compared  to $4.0
million  for the second  quarter of 2002.  Loan  prepayments  amounted  to $14.4
million  and $23.1  million  for the three and six months  ended  June 30,  2003
compared  to $8.0  million  and  $15.0  million  for the same  periods  in 2002.
Management  anticipates  that  prepayments will continue at a comparable rate in
the current low rate  environment,  and is focused on increasing  lending volume
and continuing purchases of loans and MBSs.

Interest-bearing  liabilities  increased  $900,000  during the second quarter of
2003 and  such  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to the net  effect  of a
decrease in deposits  of $6.0  million and an increase in FHLB  advances of $6.9
million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003,  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased $10.8 million,  resulting from a $7.4 million increase in deposits and
a $3.4 million increase in FHLB advances.

The net  interest  rate spread for the three and six months  ended June 30, 2003
was 3.88% and 3.93%,  respectively,  compared to 4.52% and 4.51%,  respectively,
for the same periods in 2002.  The 64 and 58 basis point  decrease in spread was
attributable  to the fact that the weighted  average yield on the loan portfolio
declined  more  than the  weighted  average  cost of  funds on  interest-bearing
liabilities.  The yield on  interest-earning  assets  declined 139 and 135 basis
points to 5.81% and 5.95%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June
30, 2003 from 7.20% and 7.30%, respectively, for first the same periods in 2002.
The weighted  average cost of funds  declined to 1.93% and 2.02%,  respectively,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2.68% and 2.80% for
the same periods in 2002. The primary spread (weighted  average interest rate on
loans minus  weighted  average  interest  rate on deposits) at June 30, 2003 was
4.88% compared to 5.36% at June 30, 2002.

Non-interest Income

Total  non-interest  income increased to $346,000 and $635,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2003,  from $221,000 and $457,000 for the same periods
in 2002. The $125,000 increase for the second quarter was primarily attributable
to an increase in service charges.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest  expense increased to $1,861,000 and $3,610,000 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2003,  from $1,693,000 and $3,359,000 for the same
periods in 2002.  The $168,000  increase in the second quarter from 2002 to 2003
was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits costs.

Loans Receivable, Net

Loans  receivable,  net increased  $12.8 million,  or 9.2%, to $152.9 million at
June 30, 2003 from $140.1  million at December 31, 2002.  During  February 2003,
the Bank  purchased  $14.2 million of adjustable  rate mortgage  loans having an
initial fixed rate period ("hybrid  ARMs").  This purchase of hybrid ARMs, along
with loan originations,  offset the combined negative effect of a decline in the
yield on the loan portfolio and the continuing high level of loan prepayments.


                                       5



The  allowance  for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.90% at June
30, 2003 compared to 0.98% at December 31, 2002 and 1.11% at June 30, 2002.  The
Bank's  non-performing  assets to total assets ratio  improved to 0.04 % at June
30, 2003  compared to 0.07% at December 31, 2002 and 0.53% at June 30, 2002.  At
June 30, 2003,  the Bank had no loans in  foreclosure or REO (real estate owned)
properties.

Deposits

Total deposits  increased $7.4 million,  or 4.73%, to $163.5 million from $156.1
million at December 31,  2002.  Core  deposits  (NOW,  demand,  money market and
passbook accounts)  increased by $2.1 million during the second quarter of 2003.
At June 30, 2003 core deposits represented 44.6% of total deposits,  compared to
40.4% at December 31, 2002, and 40.0% at June 30, 2002.

Performance Ratios

For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company's return on average equity
declined  slightly to 8.03%  compared to 8.51% for the same period in 2002.  The
return on average  assets also  declined  slightly to 0.65% for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 compared to 0.72% for the same period in 2002.  The ratio of
non-interest  expense to average  assets  improved to 3.41% for the three months
ended  June  30,  2003  compared  to  3.76%  for the same  period  in 2002.  The
efficiency ratio (total non-interest  expense divided by the sum of net interest
income before provision for loan losses and non-interest  income) also increased
slightly to 76.18% in second  quarter 2003 compared to 76.06% in second  quarter
2002.
