                 The aggregate purchase price of the Stock covered by this statement is $2,065,376. Ventures 1 purchased the Stock which is the subject of this Schedule 13D in an account carried at Banc of America Securities, LLC. No borrowed funds were used to purchase such Stock.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

                 The purpose of the acquisition of the shares of Stock by Ventures 1 is to profit from appreciation in the market price of the Stock through the assertion of shareholder rights and influencing the policies of the Issuer by means that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Rebuttal Agreement between the Filing Persons and the Office of Thrift Supervision dated June 8, 2001, attached hereto as Exhibit D. Pursuant to the letter attached hereto as Exhibit E, Mr. Harvey has requested that the Board of Directors nominate Mr. Harvey as a Director and include him on the Board’s slate of Directors to be presented to the shareholders at the Issuer’s next annual meeting.

                 The Filing Persons believe that Mr. Harvey, as necessary and solely in connection with Mr. Harvey’s performance of his duties as a member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors if he elected to the Board, may consider possible methods of maximizing long-term value for shareholders, including, (i) for the Issuer to improve its business practices, (ii) for the Issuer to improve its capital management, and (ii) for the Issuer to evaluate strategic alternatives, including the possibility of a sale to, or merger with, another financial institution.

                 The Filing Persons may make further purchases of shares of Stock. The Filing Persons may dispose of any or all the shares of Stock held by them, although they have no current intention to do so. To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the Filing Persons have such a purpose. Except as noted in this Schedule 13D, no Filing Person has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D. Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Company

                 The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the number of outstanding shares of Stock, 1,814,414, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of September 30, 2002, on the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB/A filed on December 23, 2002.

Exhibit E

Form of Letter to Chairman of the Board

March 18, 2003

VIA FEDERAL EXPRESS

Elbert T. Hudson
Chairman of the Board
Broadway Financial Corporation
4800 Wilshire Boulevard
Los Angeles, California 90010

Dear Mr. Hudson:

                 Hot Creek Ventures 1, L.P. (“Hot Creek”) has been a shareholder of Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) for a number of years and currently owns approximately 22% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. At this time I feel it is appropriate for Hot Creek to have a representative on the Company’s Board of Directors. Therefore, I am requesting that I be nominated as a Director and included on the Board’s slate of Directors presented to the shareholders at the next annual meeting. Kindly respond to this request within the next two weeks. Otherwise, we will assume that this request has been denied.

  Very truly yours,

  David M.W. Harvey
