LOS ANGELES--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Broadway Financial Corporation (the aCompanya) (Nasdaq: BYFC), parent company of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the aBanka), today reported that it has received a letter, dated May 23, 2012, 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 aSECa) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2012. Rule 5250(c)(1) requires that Nasdaq listed companies file their required periodic financial reports with the SEC on a timely 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).
