PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018March 31, 2019

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2018 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank") (collectively, the "Corporation").  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") with respect to interim financial reporting.  It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.  The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.


Note 2: Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU")

There have been no accounting standard updates or changes in the status of their adoption that are significant to the Corporation as previously disclosed in Note 1 of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018, other than:

ASU 2014-09:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which created FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 ("ASC 606"). ASC 606 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606 was effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Corporation adopted ASC 606 on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under superseded ASC 605. There was no cumulative effect adjustment as of July 1, 2018, and there were no material changes to the timing or amount of revenue recognized for the threenine months ended September 30, 2018;March 31, 2019; however, additional disclosures were incorporated in the footnotes upon adoption. The majority of the Company's revenue is comprised of interest income from financial assets, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASC 606. The Corporation elected to apply the practical expedient pursuant to ASC 606 and therefore does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have an original expected term of one year or less and allows the Corporation to expense costs related to obtaining a contract as incurred when the original amortization period would have been one year or less. See Note 12 for additional discussion.

ASU 2018-11
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the new revenue recognition standard, ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. The new leases standard represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and will most likely result in significant implementation challenges during the transition period and beyond. This ASU will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019), and interim periods therein, early adoption is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements, which allows entities the option of initially applying the new leases standard at the adoption date (such as January 1, 2019, for calendar year- end public business entities) and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In January 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this update include the following items: (i) determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers; (ii) requiring cash received from lessors from sales-type and direct financing leases to be presented in the cash flow statement within investing activities; and (iii) clarifying interim disclosure requirements. The effective date and transition requirements for the first and second items of this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The effective date and transition requirements for the third item of this ASU are the same as ASU 2016-02. The Corporation plans to adopt ASU 2018-11these ASUs on July 1, 2019. Management is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-02these ASUs on the Corporation's financial position and results of operations but does not believe that adoption of ASU 2018-11these ASUs  will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-13
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements to improve their effectiveness. The guidance permits entities to consider materiality when evaluating fair value measurement disclosures and, among other modifications, requires certain new disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance will be effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The guidance only affects disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and will not affect the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.

Note 3: Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the entity.

As of September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, there were outstanding options to purchase 514,000497,750 shares and 591,250529,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock, respectively. Of those shares, as of September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, there were 20,000497,750 shares and 591,25026,000 shares, respectively, which were excluded from the diluted EPS computation as their effect was anti-dilutive.  As of September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were outstanding restricted stock awards of 13,5009,000 shares which have a dilutive effect in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and as of September 30, 2017, there were98,500 shares, respectively. The outstanding restricted stock awards of 109,000 shares withhad no dilutive effect infor the first quarter of fiscal 2018.ended March 31, 2019 but they were dilutive for the comparable quarter last year.

The Corporation has developed an internal loan grading system to evaluate and quantify the Bank's loans held for investment portfolio with respect to quality and risk.  Management continually evaluates the credit quality of the Corporation's loan portfolio and conducts a quarterly review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses using quantitative and qualitative methods. The Corporation has adopted an internal risk rating policy in which each loan is rated for credit quality with a rating of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss.  The two primary components that are used during the loan review process to determine the proper allowance levels are individually evaluated allowances and collectively evaluated allowances.  Quantitative loan loss factors are developed by determining the historical loss experience, expected future cash flows, discount rates and collateral fair values, among others.  Qualitative loan loss factors are developed by assessing general economic indicators such as gross domestic product, retail sales, unemployment rates, employment growth, California home sales and median California home prices.  The Corporation assigns individual factors for the quantitative and qualitative methods for each loan category and each internal risk rating.

The Corporation categorizes all of the loans held for investment into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

Pass - These loans range from minimal credit risk to average, but still acceptable, credit risk.  The likelihood of loss is considered remote.
Special Mention - A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that may be temporary or, if left uncorrected, may result in a loss.  While concerns exist, the bank is currently protected and loss is considered unlikely and not imminent.
Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current soundnet worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  A substandard loan is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
14
17
 
Doubtful - A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss - A loss loan is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted.

The following tables summarize gross loans held for investment, net of fair value adjustments, by loan types and risk category at the dates indicated:

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loans held for investment and upon management's continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loans held for investment.  These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loans held for investment, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, and determination of the realizable value of the collateral securing the loans.  The provision (recovery) for (from) the allowance for loan losses is charged (credited) against operations on a quarterly basis, as necessary, to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels.  Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Corporation's loans held for investment, will not request a significant increase in its allowance for loan losses.  Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected as a result of economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the Corporation's control.

Non-performing loans are charged-off to their fair market values in the period the loans, or portion thereof, are deemed uncollectible, generally after the loan becomes 150 days delinquent for real estate secured first trust deed loans and 120 days delinquent for commercial business or real estate secured second trust deed loans.  For loans that were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and identified in the Corporation's asset quality reports as troubled debt restructurings ("restructured loans"), the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent; and where borrowers file bankruptcy, the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes 60 days delinquent.  The amount of the charge-off is determined by comparing the loan balance to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less disposition costs, with the loan balance in excess of the estimated fair value charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses for non-performing loans
15
18
is determined by applying Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310, "Receivables."  For restructured loans that are less than 90 days delinquent, the allowance for loan losses are segregated into (a) individually evaluated allowances for those loans with applicable discounted cash flow calculations still in their restructuring period, classified lower than pass, and  containing an embedded loss component or (b) collectively evaluated allowances based on the aggregated pooling method.  For non-performing loans less than 60 days delinquent where the borrower has filed bankruptcy, the collectively evaluated allowances are assigned based on the aggregated pooling method.  For non-performing commercial real estate loans, an individually evaluated allowance is derived based on the loan's discounted cash flow fair value (for restructured loans) or collateral fair value less estimated selling costs and if the fair value is higher than the loan balance, no allowance is required.

The following table summarizes the Corporation's allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018:

The following tables identify the Corporation's total recorded investment in non-performing loans by type at the dates and for the periods indicated.  Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest or if the loan is deemed impaired, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, where the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of the contractual principal or interest on the loan is doubtful.  In addition, interest income is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured.  A non-performing loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current, the borrower(s) has demonstrated sustained payment performance and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected on a timely basis.  Loans with a related allowance reserve have been individually evaluated for impairment using either a discounted cash flow analysis or, for collateral dependent loans, current appraisals less costs to sell, to establish realizable value.  This analysis may identify a specific impairment amount needed or may conclude that no reserve is needed.  Loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment are included in pools of homogeneous loans for evaluation of related allowance reserves.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, no new loans were restructured from their original terms and classified as restructured loans, while one restructured loan from pass category was downgraded to special mention.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, no new loans were restructured from their original terms and classified as restructured loans, while one restructured loan was upgraded to the pass category, one restructured loan from the pass category was downgraded to special mention and one restructured loan was paid off.  For the quarters and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018, and 2017, there were notwo loans totaling $2.2 million that were newly modified from their original terms and re-underwritten or identified in the Corporation's asset quality reports as restructured loans. During the quarters and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, no restructured loans were in default within a 12-month period subsequent to their original restructuring.  Additionally, during the quartersquarter ended September 30,March 31, 2019, there was no loan whose modification was extended beyond the initial maturity of the modification; while during the nine months ended March 31, 2019, there was one loan whose modification was extended beyond the initial maturity of the modification. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, there were no loans whose modification was extended beyond the initial maturity of the modification.  At both September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to those borrowers whose loans were restructured.

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Corporation held 10 restructured loans with a net outstanding balance of $4.8$4.6 million: one loan was classified as special mention ($440,000), one loan was classified as substandard and remains on accrual status ($1.4 million); and nineeight loans were classified as substandard on non-accrual status ($3.42.7 million). As of June 30, 2018, the Corporation held 11 restructured loans with a net outstanding balance of $5.2 million: one loan was classified as special mention and remains on accrual status ($389,000); one loan was classified as substandard and remains on accrual status ($1.4 million); and nine loans were classified as substandard on non-accrual status ($3.4 million).  Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets that do not currently expose the Corporation to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification but possess weaknesses are designated as special mention and are closely monitored by the Corporation.  As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $3.1$2.9 million or 66%63%, and $2.9 million or 56%, respectively, of the restructured loans were current with respect to their modified payment terms.

The Corporation upgrades restructured single-family loans to the pass category if the borrower has demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments for at least six consecutive months; 12 months for those loans that were restructured more than once; and if the borrower has demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments beyond 12 consecutive months, the loan is no longer categorized as a restructured loan.  In addition to the payment history described above, multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans must also demonstrate a combination of the following characteristics to be upgraded: satisfactory cash flow, satisfactory guarantor support, and additional collateral support, among others.

22

To qualify for restructuring, a borrower must provide evidence of their creditworthiness such as, current financial statements, their most recent income tax returns, current paystubs, current W-2s, and most recent bank statements, among other documents, which are then verified by the Corporation.  The Corporation re-underwrites the loan with the borrower's updated financial information, new credit report, current loan balance, new interest rate, remaining loan term, updated property value and modified payment schedule, among other considerations, to determine if the borrower qualifies.

Note 7: Derivative and Other Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, loan sale commitments to third parties and option contracts.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  The Corporation's exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies in entering into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Corporation had commitments to extend credit (on loans to be held for investment and loans to be held for sale) of $49.2$16.6 million and $66.3 million, respectively.

Occasionally, the Corporation is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or other institutional investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or if one of the parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 90-days past due within 120 days of the loan funding date. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Corporation repurchased two loans totaling $446,000 pursuant to the recourse/repurchase covenants contained in the loan sale agreements. In comparison, the Corporation repurchased two loans totaling $602,000 from investors during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, the Corporation repurchased five loans totaling $699,000, including two loans that were fully charged off ($25,000). In comparison, the Corporation repurchased two loans totaling $602,000 from investors during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Additional repurchase requests may have been settled that did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself.  The primary reasons for honoring the repurchase requests are borrower fraud, undisclosed liabilities on borrower applications, and documentation, verification and appraisal disputes.  For the third quarters of fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Corporation did not record any provision for the recourse liability and did not settle any claims.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Corporation recorded a $33,000 recovery and a $22,000 recovery from the recourse liability, respectively, and did not settle any claims.  As of March 31, 2019, the total recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase decreased to $250,000, as compared to $283,000 at June 30, 2018 and $283,000 at March 31, 2018.

Beginning in 2008, in connection with the downturn in the real estate market, the Corporation implemented tighter underwriting standards to reduce potential loan repurchase requests, including requiring higher credit scores, generally lower debt-to-income ratios, and verification of income and assets, among other criteria.  Despite management's diligent estimate of the recourse reserve, the Corporation is still subject to risks and uncertainties associated with potentially higher loan repurchase claims from investors, and there are no assurances that the current recourse reserve will be sufficient to cover all future recourse claims.

The Corporation adopted ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," and elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" on loans originated for sale by PBM.  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 825 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the "Fair Value Option") at specified election dates.  At each subsequent reporting date, an entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items in earnings for which the fair value option has been elected.  The objective of the Fair Value Option is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.

The following table describes the difference at the dates indicated between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of loans held for investment at fair value and loans held for sale at fair value:

ASC 820-10-65-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly," provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements," when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.

26

ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations.  The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1-Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2-Observable inputs other than Level 1 such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated to observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3-Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that use significant assumptions, including assumptions of risks.  These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Valuation techniques include the use of pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

ASC 820 requires the Corporation to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  If a financial instrument uses inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument will be categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation.

The Corporation's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investment securities available for sale, loans held for investment at fair value, loans held for sale at fair value, interest-only strips and derivative
33
financial instruments; while non-performing loans, mortgage servicing assets ("MSA") and real estate owned are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Investment securities - available for sale are primarily comprised of U.S. government agency MBS, U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS and privately issued CMO.  The Corporation utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar securities for its fair value measurement of MBS and debt securities (Level 2) and broker price indications for similar securities in non-active markets for its fair value measurement of the CMO (Level 3).

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, mandatory loan sale commitments, TBA MBS trades and option contracts.  The fair value of TBA MBS trades is determined using quoted secondary-market prices (Level 2).  The fair values of other derivative financial instruments are determined by quoted prices for a similar commitment or commitments, adjusted for the specific attributes of each commitment (Level 3).

Loans held for investment at fair value are primarily single-family loans which have been transferred from loans held for sale.  The fair value is determined by the management estimates of the specific credit risk attributes of each loan, in addition to the quoted secondary-market prices which account for the interest rate characteristics of each loan (Level 3).

Loans held for sale at fair value are primarily single-family loans.  The fair value is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices such as mandatory loan sale commitments.  If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined by quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of each loan (Level 2).

Non-performing loans are loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrowers or of the collateral pledged.  The non-performing loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  The fair value of a non-performing loan is determined based on an observable market price or current appraised value of the underlying collateral.  Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the borrower.  For non-performing loans which are restructured loans, the fair value is derived from discounted cash flow analysis (Level 3), except those which are in the process of foreclosure or 90 days delinquent for which the fair value is derived from the appraised value of its collateral (Level 2).  For other non-performing loans which are not restructured loans, other than non-performing commercial real estate loans, the fair value is derived from relative value analysis: historical experience and management estimates by loan type for which collectively evaluated
27

allowances are assigned (Level 3); or the appraised value of its collateral for loans which are in the process of foreclosure or where borrowers file bankruptcy (Level 2).  For non-performing commercial real estate loans, the fair value is derived from the appraised value of its collateral (Level 2).  Non-performing loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional allowance and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.  This loss is not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), but rather as a component in determining the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  These adjustments to the estimated fair value of non-performing loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in current earnings.

The Corporation uses the amortization method for its MSA, which amortizes the MSA in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income and assesses the MSA for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date.  The fair value of the MSA is derived using the present value method; which includes a third party's prepayment projections of similar instruments, weighted-average coupon rates, estimated servicing costs and discount interest rates (Level 3).

The rights to future income from serviced loans that exceed contractually specified servicing fees are recorded as interest-only strips.  The fair value of interest-only strips is derived using the same assumptions that are used to value the related MSA (Level 3).

34
The fair value of real estate owned is derived from the lower of the appraised value or the listing price, net of estimated selling costs (Level 2).

The Corporation's valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the Corporation's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The range is based on the estimated fair values and management estimates.
(2)
Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(3)
The percentage of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale which management has estimated may not fund.
(4)
An estimated cost to roll forward the mandatory loan sale commitments which management has estimated may not be delivered to the corresponding investors in a timely manner.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation's assets and liabilities include the following: prepayment speeds, discount rates, MBS – TBA quotes, estimated fallout ratios, broker quotes and roll-forward costs, among others.  Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The various unobservable inputs used to determine valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation.

Investment securities - held to maturity:  The investment securities - held to maturity consist of time deposits at CRA qualified minority financial institutions, U.S. SBA securities and U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS.  Due to the short-term nature of the time deposits, the principal balance approximated fair value (Level 2).  For the MBS and the U.S. SBA securities, the Corporation utilizes quoted prices in active markets for similar securities for its fair value measurement (Level 2).

Loans held for investment, not recorded at fair value: For loans that reprice frequently at market rates, the carrying amount approximates the fair value.  For fixed-rate loans, the fair value is determined by either (i) discounting the estimated future cash flows of such loans over their estimated remaining contractual maturities using a current interest rate at which such loans would be made to borrowers, or (ii) quoted market prices.

FHLB – San Francisco stock: The carrying amount reported for FHLB – San Francisco stock approximates fair value. When redeemed, the Corporation will receive an amount equal to the par value of the stock.

34

Deposits: The fair value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The discount rate is based upon rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  The fair value of transaction accounts (checking, money market and savings accounts) is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation and management estimates of current market conditions.

Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings has been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation.  The discount rate on such borrowings is based upon rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

41
The Corporation has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value is reasonably estimated.  The Corporation generally determines fair value of their Level 3 assets and liabilities by using internally developed models which primarily utilize discounted cash flow techniques and prices obtained from independent management services or brokers.  The Corporation performs due diligence procedures over third-party pricing service providers in order to support their use in the valuation process.

While the Corporation believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, there were no significant changes to the Corporation's valuation techniques that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.


Note 9: Incentive Plans

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had two active share-based compensation plans, which are described below.  These plans are the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 Plan") and the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan ("2010 Plan").  Additionally, the Corporation had one inactive share-based compensation plan - the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan ("2006 Plan") where no new awards can be granted but outstanding grants remain eligible for exercise.

For the quarters ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, the compensation cost for these plans was $685,000$37,000 and $266,000,$292,000, respectively.  The income tax benefit (deficiencies) recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations per adoption of ASU 2016-09 for share-based compensation plans for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $(10,000) and $186,000, respectively.

For the first nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the compensation cost for these plans was $767,000 and $816,000, respectively.  The income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations per adoption of ASU 2016-09 for share-based compensation plans for the quartersnine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $114,000 and 2017 were $126,000 and $27,000,$206,000, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plans.  The Corporation established and the shareholders approved the 2013 Plan, the 2010 Plan and the 2006 Plan (collectively, "the Plans") for directors, advisory directors, directors emeriti, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiary.  The 2013 Plan authorizes 300,000 stock options and 300,000 shares of restricted stock.  The 2013 Plan also provides that no person may be granted more than 60,000 stock options or 45,000 shares of restricted stock in any one year.  The 2010 Plan authorizes 586,250 stock options and 288,750 shares of restricted stock.  The 2010 Plan also provides that no person may be granted more than 117,250 stock options or 43,312 shares of restricted stock in any one year.  The 2006 Plan authorized 365,000 stock options and 185,000 shares of restricted stock.  The 2006 Plan also provided that no person was granted more than 73,000 stock options or 27,750 shares of restricted stock in any one year.

Equity Incentive Plans - Stock Options.  Under the Plans, options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of the grant.  Options typically vest over a five-year or shorter period as long as the director, advisory director, director emeritus, officer or employee remains in service to the Corporation.  The options are exercisable after vesting for up to the remaining term of the original grant.  The maximum term of the options granted is 10 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions.  The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from historical common stock closing prices
35

for the prior 84 months.  The expected dividend yield is based on the most recent quarterly dividend on an annualized basis.  The expected term is based on the historical experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed
42
annually.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury note rate with a term similar to the underlying stock option on the particular grant date.
During the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019, no options were granted or forfeited, while 15,000and 11,250 options were exercised.  This compares to the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2018 when no options were granted 21,500or forfeited, and 56,500 options were exercised. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, no options were granted or forfeited, and 31,250 options were exercised. This compares to the first nine months of fiscal 2018 when no options were granted, and 83,750 options were exercised and 2,500 options were forfeited.  As of September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, there were 147,500 stock options available for future grants under the Plans at both dates.

The following table summarizestables summarize the stock option activity in the Plans for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Note 11: Offsetting Derivative and Other Financial Instruments

The Corporation's derivative transactions are generally governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements and similar arrangements, which include provisions governing the setoff of assets and liabilities between the parties.  When the Corporation has more than one outstanding derivative transaction with a single counterparty, the setoff provisions contained within these agreements generally allow the non-defaulting party the right to reduce its liability to the defaulting party by amounts eligible for setoff, including the collateral received as well as eligible offsetting transactions with that counterparty, irrespective of the currency, place of payment, or booking office.  The Corporation's policy is to present its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition on a net basis.  The derivative assets and liabilities are comprised of mandatory loan sale commitments, TBA MBS trades and option contracts.

The following tables present the gross and net amounts of derivative assets and liabilities and other financial instruments as reported in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, and the gross amount not offset in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated.

Note 12: Revenue From Contracts With Customers

In accordance with ASC 606, revenues are recognized when goods or services are transferred to the customer in exchange for the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive. The largest portion of the Company's revenue is from interest income, which is not in the scope of ASC 606. All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income.

47
If a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue as it satisfies a performance obligation. Payments from customers are generally collected at the time services are rendered, monthly, or quarterly. For contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606, revenue is either earned at a point in time or revenue is earned over time. Examples of revenue earned at a point in time are automated teller machine ("ATM") transaction fees, wire transfer fees, overdraft fees and interchange fees. Revenue is primarily based on the number and type of transactions that are generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems and is recognized immediately as the transactions occur or upon providing the service to complete the customer's transaction. The Company is generally the principal in these contracts, with the exception of interchanges fees, in which case the Company is acting as the agent and records revenue net of expenses paid to the principal. Examples of revenue earned over time, which generally occur on a monthly basis, are deposit account maintenance fees, investment advisory fees, merchant revenue, trust and investment management fees and safe deposit box fees. Revenue is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems or those of third-parties and is recognized as the related transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer.

Disaggregation of Revenue:

The following table includes the Company's non-interest income disaggregated by type of services for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017:2018:

Note 13: Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax income rate from a maximum of 35 percent to a flat 21 percent. The federal corporate tax rate reduction was effective January 1, 2018. Since the Corporation has a fiscal year end of June 30th, the reduced federal corporate income tax rate for its fiscal year 2018 resulted in the application of a blended federal statutory income tax rate of 28.06 percent, which is based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and corresponding number of days in the fiscal year before and after enactment, and then a flat 21 percent tax rate thereafter.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Corporation uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, 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. 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. At June 30, 2017, the Corporation's deferred tax assets and liabilities were determined based on the then-current enacted federal tax rate of 35 percent. As a result of the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate under the Tax Act, the Corporation revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities realized in fiscal year 2018 were re-measured using the aforementioned blended rate. All remaining deferred tax assets and liabilities were re-measured using the new statutory federal rate of 21 percent. These re-measurements collectively resulted in a discrete tax expense of $1.8$1.9 million that was recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

The estimated combined federal and state statutory tax rates, before discrete items, for fiscal 2018years 2019 and 20192018 are as follows:
Statutory Tax RatesQ1FY2018Q2-Q4FY2018FY2019  FY2019FY2018
Federal Tax Rate35.00%28.06%21.00%  21.00%28.06%

Combined Statutory Tax Rate(1)
42.05%35.86%29.56%  29.56%35.86%

(1) The combined statutory tax rate is net of the federal tax benefit for the state tax deduction.

41

The Corporation's effective tax rate may differ from the estimated statutory tax rates described above due to discrete items such as further adjustments to net deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits derived from stock option exercises and non-taxable earnings from bank owned life insurance, among other items.

ITEM 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Provident Financial Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was organized in January 1996 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("the Bank") upon the Bank's conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank ("Conversion").  The Conversion was completed on June 27, 1996.  The Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB").  At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had total assets of $1.16$1.12 billion, total deposits of $902.1$876.9 million and total stockholders' equity of $121.7$121.2 million.  The Corporation has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank.  Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiaries.  As used in this report, the terms "we," "our," "us," and "Corporation" refer to Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Bank, founded in 1956, is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Riverside, California.  The Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the insurer of its deposits.  The Bank's deposits are federally insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC.  The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System since 1956.

The Corporation's business consists of community banking activities and mortgage banking activities, conducted by Provident Bank and Provident Bank Mortgage ("PBM"), a division of the Bank.  Community banking activities primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Bank's full service offices and investing those funds in single-family loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans, consumer loans and other real estate loans.  The Bank also offers business checking accounts, other business banking services, and services loans for others.  Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured primarily by single-family residences.  The Bank currently operates 14 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (commonly known as the Inland Empire).  Provident Bank Mortgage operates two wholesale loan production offices: one in Pleasanton and one in Rancho Cucamonga, California; and nine retail loan production offices located throughout California.  The Corporation's revenues are derived principally from interest on its loans and investment securities and fees generated through its community banking and mortgage banking activities.  There are various risks inherent in the Corporation's business including, among others, the general business environment, interest rates, the California real estate market, the demand for loans, the prepayment of loans, the repurchase of loans previously sold to investors, the secondary market conditions to sell loans, competitive conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, fraud and other risks.

On February 4, 2019, the Corporation announced that the Corporation's Board of Directors determined that it was in the long-term best interests of the Corporation to exit the operations of the Corporation's mortgage banking segment conducted through PBM.

50
The Corporation began to distribute quarterly cash dividends in the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2002.  On July 31, 2018,January 29, 2019, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share for the Corporation's shareholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2018,February 19, 2019, which was paid on September 11, 2018.March 12, 2019.  Future declarations or payments of dividends will be

subject to the consideration of the Corporation's Board of Directors, which will take into account the Corporation's financial condition, results of operations, tax considerations, capital requirements, industry standards, legal restrictions, economic conditions and other factors, including the regulatory restrictions which affect the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation.  Under Delaware law, dividends may be paid either out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current fiscal year and/or the preceding fiscal year in which the dividend is declared.  For further discussion, see Note 12

On April 30, 2019, the Corporation announced that the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share.

Executive Summary and Operating Strategy

Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B., established in 1956, is a financial services company committed to serving consumers and small to mid-sized businesses in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Bank conducts its business operations as Provident Bank, Provident Bank Mortgage, a division of the Bank, and through its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp.  The business activities of the Corporation, primarily through the Bank and its subsidiary, consist of community banking, mortgage banking and, to a lesser degree, investment services for customers and trustee services on behalf of the Bank.

Community banking operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Corporation's full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate loans.  Also, to a lesser extent, the Corporation makes construction, commercial business, consumer and other mortgage loans.  The primary source of income in community banking is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and investment securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds.  Additionally, certain fees are collected from depositors, such as returned check fees, deposit account service charges, ATM fees, IRA/KEOGH fees, safe deposit box fees, wire transfer fees and overdraft protection fees, among others.

44

During the next three years, subject to market conditions, the Corporation intends to improve its community banking business by moderately increasing total assets; by increasing single-family mortgage loans and higher yielding loans (i.e., multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans).  In addition, the Corporation intends to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts.  This strategy is intended to improve core revenue through a higher net interest margin and ultimately, coupled with the growth of the Corporation, an increase in net interest income.  While the Corporation's long-term strategy is for moderate growth, management recognizes that growth may not occur as a result of weaknesses in general economic conditions.

Mortgage banking operations primarily consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured by single-family residences.  The primary sources of income in mortgage banking are gain on sale of loans and certain fees collected from borrowers in connection with the loan origination process. On February 4, 2019, the Corporation announced that it was in the long-term best interests of the Corporation to discontinue the operations of the Corporation's mortgage banking segment conducted through PBM.

This decision was reached after an analysis of current economic conditions and the current operating environment for the highly competitive mortgage banking business, including the significant decline in loan origination volume.  The Corporation willhad been pursuing a strategy of improving the profitability of its mortgage banking business by significantly reducing operating expenses commensurate with the significant decline in loan origination volume while maintaining loan sale margins and prudent underwriting standards.  However, based on the operating environment and market conditions for the foreseeable future, the Corporation determined that it would be unable to successfully execute that strategy within a reasonable period of time.

The Corporation plans to continue to modifyoriginate single-family mortgage loans for retention on its balance sheet, primarily within its market area, the Inland Empire region of Southern California and purchase these loans consistent with its historical activity in this regard.  Upon termination of PBM's mortgage banking operations, includingPBM will no longer be reported as a segment of the numberCorporation.  The Corporation currently estimates that PBM's mortgage banking operations will end on or before June 30, 2019 and expects that the headcount in the Corporation will decrease by approximately 122 full time equivalent employees by that date.

As a result of exiting the mortgage banking business, the Corporation estimates:
quarterly net interest income from the mortgage banking segment to decline approximately $306,000 (net of funding costs) by the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $306,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 due to the decrease in loans held for sale,
53
quarterly non-interest income from the mortgage banking segment to decline approximately $2.7 million by the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $2.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019,
quarterly non-interest expense from the mortgage banking segment to decrease approximately $4.6 million by the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $4.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019,
quarterly non-interest income from the community banking segment to increase approximately $272,000 to $1.2 million by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $906,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 as a result of the discontinuation of inter-company charges to compensate PBM for originating loans held for investment and for servicing fees on loans sold on a servicing retained basis,
quarterly non-interest expense from the community banking segment to increase approximately $649,000 to $6.9 million by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020 from $6.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 as a result of retaining certain mortgage banking personnel in responseto continue to originate and purchase single-family mortgage loans for retention on the Bank's balance sheet and discontinuation of the management fee allocation from the Bank to the rapidly changing mortgage banking environment.  Changes may include a different product mix, further tightening of underwriting standards, variationssegment,
the estimated fully phased in its operating expenses or a combinationquarterly impact of these changes in fiscal 2020 will be to increase the pre-tax income by approximately $1.2 million per quarter in comparison to the second quarter of fiscal 2019,
the Corporation will stop accepting loan applications and other changes.loan locks from the mortgage banking segment early in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, as a result, revenues will decrease more quickly than expenses but the declines in each cannot be accurately forecast for the time period the Corporation is effecting the exit from the mortgage banking business, and
to stop operating its mortgage banking business as a defined segment with separate mortgage banking segment reporting prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Provident Financial Corp performs trustee servicesThe Corporation also estimates that it will:
incur total one-time costs of approximately $3.6 million to $4.0 million, which amounts include costs for severance, retention, personnel, premises, occupancy, depreciation, and costs related to termination of data processing and other contractual arrangements, and
have estimated cash outlays of approximately $3.5 million to $3.9 million of its total estimated one-time costs (consistent with the Bank's real estate secured loan transactions andamounts above less depreciation).

Once the mortgage banking exit has in the past held, and may inbeen completed, the future hold, real estate for investment. operations of the Corporation will be much more consistent with the traditional community banking activities as described earlier.

Investment services operations primarily consist of selling alternative investment products such as annuities and mutual funds to the Bank's depositors. Investment services and trustee services contribute a very small percentage of gross revenue.

Provident Financial Corp performs trustee services for the Bank's real estate secured loan transactions and has in the past held, and may in the future hold, real estate for investment.

There are a number of risks associated with the business activities of the Corporation, many of which are beyond the Corporation's control, including: changes in accounting principles, laws, regulation, interest rates and the economy, among others.  The Corporation attempts to mitigate many of these risks through prudent banking practices, such as interest rate risk management, credit risk management, operational risk management, and liquidity risk management.  The California economic environment presents heightened risk for the Corporation primarily with respect to real estate values and loan delinquencies. Since the majority of the Corporation's loans are secured by real estate located within California, significant declines in the value of California real estate may also inhibit the Corporation's ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Commitments and Derivative Financial Instruments.  The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, in the form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, loan sale agreements to third parties and option contracts.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.  The Corporation's exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies in entering into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  For a discussion on commitments and derivative financial instruments, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations.  The following table summarizes the Corporation's contractual obligations at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on the Corporation's liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018

Total assets decreased $18.1$56.2 million, or twofive percent, to $1.16$1.12 billion at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $1.18 billion at June 30, 2018.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in loans held for investment and loans held for sale, and investment securities, partly offset by an increaseincreases in cash and cash equivalents.equivalents and investment securities.

Total cash and cash equivalents, primarily excess cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, increased $35.6$18.2 million, or 8242 percent, to $78.9$61.5 million at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $43.3 million at June 30, 2018.  The increase in the total cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to the decreases in loans held for sale and loans held for investment, and investment securities, partly offset by the increase in investment securities and the payoff of short-term borrowings and time deposits that matured during the first threenine months of fiscal 2019.

Investment securities (held to maturity and available for sale) decreased $8.7increased $13.5 million, or nine14 percent, to $86.6$108.8 million at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $95.3 million at June 30, 2018. The decreaseincrease was primarily the result of investment security purchases, partly offset by scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities during the first threenine months of fiscal 2019. For further analysis on investment securities, see Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Loans held for investment decreased $25.6$19.1 million, or threetwo percent, to $877.1$883.6 million at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $902.7 million at June 30, 2018, primarily due to a $21.2$26.2 million or four percent decline in multi-family loans, partly offset by a $5.6 million increase in commercial real estate loans.  During the first threenine months of fiscal 2019, the Corporation originated $36.7$93.8 million of loans held for investment, consisting primarily of single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate loans and also purchased $26.2 million in single-family, multi-family loans.  During the first three months of fiscal 2019, the Corporation did not purchase anyand commercial real estate loans held for investment. Total loan principal payments during the first threenine months of fiscal 2019 were $62.9$140.5 million, up 45down two percent from $43.4$143.9 million during the comparable period in fiscal 2018. Single-familyThe single-family loans held for investment decreased $7.3 million, or

The average cost of borrowings increased five basis points to 2.61 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from 2.56 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase in transaction accountsthe average cost of borrowings was alsoprimarily due to the prepayment of long-term borrowings with a lower interest rate in than the weighted average interest rate of all borrowings.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  Total interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 decreased $36,000, or one percent, to $4.8 million as compared to the same period last year.  This decrease was attributable to lower interest expenses on both, deposits and borrowings.

Interest expense on deposits for the impactfirst nine months of depositors seeking an alternativefiscal 2019 decreased $18,000, or one percent, to $2.6 million as compared to the same period last year.  The slight decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a lower yieldingaverage balance, partly offset by a higher average cost of deposits. The average balance of deposits decreased $28.4 million, or three percent, to $888.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $917.1 million during the same period last year. The decrease in the average balance was primarily attributable to decreases in time deposits and, to a lesser extent, savings deposits, partly offset by an increase in anticipationchecking and money market deposits.

Provision (Recovery) for Loan Losses:

For the Quarters Ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.  During the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $4,000, in contrast to a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $237,000, in contrast to a $169,000 provision for loan losses$505,000 in the same period of fiscal 2018.  The recovery recorded infrom the firstallowance for loan losses during the same quarter of fiscal 2019last year was primarily attributable to the decreaseimproving risk profile of the loan portfolio as reflected in loans held for investment during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.asset quality ratios and loan balances shifting to lower risk categories from higher risk categories. Non-performing loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and fair value adjustments was $6.9 millionremained relatively unchanged at September 30, 2018 as compared to $6.1 million at both March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and $8.0but lower than the $6.8 million at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Net loan recoveries in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 were $7,000$15,000 or zero0.01 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to net loan charge-offscharge offs of $145,000$39,000 or 0.060.02 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. Total classified loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and fair value adjustments, were $13.4$14.8 million at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to $14.9 million at June 30, 2018 and $12.9$11.1 million at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Classified loans net of the allowance for loan losses and fair value adjustments were comprised of $5.1$7.3 million and $7.5 million of loans in the special mention category and $8.3$7.5 million and $7.4 million of loans in the substandard category at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, the Corporation recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $450,000, as compared to a $347,000 recovery from the allowance for loan losses in the same period of fiscal 2018. The recovery from the allowance for loan losses in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily attributable to the decrease in loans held for investment and the recoveries related to the payoff of the two non-performing loans during the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  Net loan recoveries in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were $145,000 or (0.02) percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, in contrast to net loan charge offs of $161,000 or 0.02 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable in the same period of fiscal 2018.

65
The allowance for loan losses was determined through quantitative and qualitative adjustments including the Bank's charge-off experience and reflects the impact on loans held for investment from the current general economic conditions of the U.S. and California economies such as the improving unemployment rate and higher home prices in California.  See related discussion of "Asset Quality" below.

At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses was $7.2$7.1 million, comprised of collectively evaluated allowances of $7.1$6.9 million and individually evaluated allowances of $129,000;$132,000; in comparison to the allowance for loan losses of $7.4 million at June 30, 2018, comprised of collectively evaluated allowances of $7.2 million and individually evaluated allowances of $157,000. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was 0.79 percent at March 31, 2019 as compared to 0.81 percent at September 30, 2018, unchanged from June 30, 2018. Management considers, based on currently available information, the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment.  For further analysis on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-Interest Income:

For the Quarters Ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.  Total non-interest income decreased $1.9$2.1 million, or 3040 percent, to $4.5$3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $6.4$5.2 million for the same period last year.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the net gain on sale of loans during the current quarter as compared to the comparable period last year.

The net gain on sale of loans decreased $1.7$1.9 million, or 3553 percent, to $3.1$1.7 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 from $4.8$3.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018 reflecting the impact of a lower loan sale volume, partly offset by a higher average loan sale margin.  Total loan sale volume, which includes the net change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, decreased $210.4$139.7 million or 5459 percent to $181.8$95.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $392.2$235.5 million in the comparable quarter last year.  The decrease in loan sale volume was attributable to the decrease inwinding down of the mortgage banking activity as compared to the same period last year.  The total refinanceoperations. Refinance loans as a percentage of total loans originated by PBM during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 was 30 percent, down from 4237 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018.  Retail loans as a percentage of total loans originated for sale by PBM during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were 65 percent, up from 59 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The average loan sale margin for PBM increased 4626 basis points to 1.701.79 percent in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 from 1.241.53 percent in the same period of fiscal 2018. The increase in the average loan sale margin was the result of a higher percentage of retail loan production (which generally has higher loan sale margins) versus wholesale loan production and maintaining pricing discipline throughout the quarter. The gain on sale of loans includes an unfavorable fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments (commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities, and option contracts) pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825 that amounted to a net loss of $489,000$778,000 in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustmenta net loss of $94,000$844,000 in the same period last year. The fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments is consistent with the Bank's mortgage banking activity and the volatility of mortgage interest rates. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the fair value of derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825 was $2.4 million,$951,000, compared to $2.9 million at June 30, 2018 and $4.9$2.8 million at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  Total non-interest income decreased $6.1 million, or 35 percent, to $11.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $17.3 million for the same period last year.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans.

The net gain on sale of loans decreased $5.7 million, or 44 percent, to $7.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $12.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2018 reflecting the impact of a lower loan sale volume, partly offset by a higher average loan sale margin.  Total loan sale volume was $408.9 million in the first nine months ended March 31, 2019, down $506.5 million, or 55 percent, from $915.4 million in the comparable period last year.  The decrease in loan sale volume was attributable primarily to the winding down of the mortgage banking operations.  Refinance loans as a percentage of total loans originated by PBM during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were 29 percent, down from 41 percent in the same period of
66
fiscal 2018. Retail loans as a percentage of total loans originated for sale by PBM during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were 64 percent, up from 56 percent in the same period of fiscal 2018. The average loan sale margin for PBM during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was 1.73 percent, up 34 basis points from 1.39 percent for the same period of fiscal 2018.  The increase in the average loan sale margin was the result of a higher percentage of retail loan production (which generally has higher loan sale margins) versus wholesale loan production and maintaining pricing discipline throughout the period. The gain on sale of loans includes an unfavorable fair-value adjustment on derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825, a net loss of $1.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as compared to a net loss of $2.2 million in the same period last year.

Non-Interest Expense:

For the Quarters Ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.  Total non-interest expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $11.7$13.0 million, a decreasean increase of $4.0 million,$561,000, or 26five percent, as compared to $15.7$12.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The decreaseincrease was primarily a result of a decrease in other non-interest expense and a decreasean increase in salaries and employee benefits expense.

Total salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $1.0 million,increased $484,000, or 11five percent, to $8.3$9.3 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 from $9.3$8.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2018.  The decreaseincrease in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily relatedattributable to $1.5 million of one-time costs associated with staff reductions in mortgage banking operations and $674,000 in current costs associated with incentive compensation accruals, partly offset by lower variable compensation resulting from lower mortgage banking loan originations and staff reductions in mortgage banking, partly offset by an increase in stock-based compensation resulting from the vesting of previously awarded stock options and restricted stock.originations. Total loan originations and purchases (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated for sale) decreased $204.2$114.8 million, or 4743 percent, to $233.0$154.7 million in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019 from $437.2$269.5 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2018. Total full-time equivalent employees in the mortgage banking division was 169were 107 at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, down 2947 percent from 237200 at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

On January 30, 2019, the Corporation announced that Bank will close its La Quinta Branch effective at the close of business on May 10, 2019. The Bank anticipates an annual operational cost savings of approximately $473,000, primarily in salaries and employee benefits expenses and premises and occupancy expenses subsequent to the branch closure. Total one-time charges for the branch closure will be approximately $18,000.

On February 4, 2019, the Corporation announced that the Corporation's Board of Directors determined that it was in the long-term best interests of the Corporation to exit the operations of the Corporation's mortgage banking segment conducted through PBM. The Corporation estimates that it will incur one-time costs of approximately $3.6 million to $4.0 million to complete the exit during the remainder of fiscal 2019, which amounts include costs for severance, retention, personnel, premises, occupancy, depreciation, and costs related to termination of data processing and other contractual arrangements. As of March 31, 2019, the total one-time costs incurred were $1.6 million, comprised of $1.5 million in salaries and employee benefits expenses, $81,000 in premises and occupancy expenses, and $13,000 in equipment expenses.

53For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  Total non-interest expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $35.6 million, a decrease of $5.8 million or 14 percent, as compared to $41.4 million in the same period ended March 31, 2018.  The decrease was primarily due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits expense and in other non-interest expense.


Total other non-interest expensessalaries and employee benefits expense decreased $3.0$1.9 million, or 77seven percent, to $907,000$24.8 million in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2019 from $3.9$26.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2018.  The decrease was primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation costs and PBM staff reductions related to lower mortgage banking loan originations attributable to the $2.75winding down of the mortgage banking operations, partly offset by one-time costs associated with staff reductions in mortgage banking operations and incentive compensation accruals. Total loan originations and purchases (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated for sale) decreased $500.0 million, or 47 percent, to $573.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $1.07 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2018.

67
Total other non-interest expenses decreased $3.8 million, or 55 percent, to $3.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from $6.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2018. The decrease in other non-interest expenses was primarily attributable to litigation settlement expense recorded in other non-interest expenseof $3.4 million in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2018, and not replicated this quarter.current period.  No additional contingencies exist regarding these legal matters although the settlement agreements remain subject to court approval and other customary conditions. For additional information see Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings."

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes:

The income tax provision reflects accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, adjusted for the effect of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes, such as non-deductible stock-based compensation, earnings from bank-owned life insurance policies and certain California tax-exempt loans, among others.  Therefore, there are fluctuations in the effective income tax rate from period to period based on the relationship of net permanent differences to income before tax.

For the Quarters Ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.  The Corporation's income tax provisionbenefit was $616,000$189,000 for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019, as comparedin contrast to a $208,000$667,000 tax provision in the same quarter last year (an $856,000 difference). The decrease was attributable to loss before taxes and a lower federal income tax benefitrate in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 in comparison to income before taxes in the same quarter last year. The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to the higher income before taxes, partly offset by the reduction of the federal corporate tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act"). Since the Corporation has a fiscal year end of June 30th, the reduced federal corporate income tax rate from the Tax Act for fiscal 2018 was the result of the application of a blended federal statutory tax rate of 28.06%, and is currently a flat 21% federal corporate income tax rate for fiscal 2019 and thereafter. As a result, theThe effective federal and state income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 25.355.59% and 27.79%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was due primarily to tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation activities. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 reflects its current income tax obligations.

For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  The Corporation's provision for income taxes was $1.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, down 52 percent down from 48.0 percentthe $2.5 million provision for income taxes in the same quarterperiod last year. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to the one-time, non-cash, net tax charge of $1.9 million from the net deferred tax assets revaluation and the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate resulting from the Tax Act, partly offset by the higher income before taxes recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.  The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 25.42% and 77.56%, respectively. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2019 reflects its current income tax obligations.

Non-performing loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and fair value adjustments, consisting of loans with collateral located in California, remained unchanged at September 30, 2018 increased $805,000 to $6.9 million, up 13 percent from $6.1 million at both March 31, 2019 June 30, 2018. Non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was 0.78%0.69%, up from 0.67% at June 30, 2018.  The non-performing loans at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 are comprised of 2220 single-family loans ($6.15.3 million), one construction loan ($745,000) and one commercial business loan ($64,000). This compares to the $6.1 million of non-performing loans at June 30, 2018 which were primarily comprised of 21 single-family loans ($6.0 million) and one commercial business loan ($64,000)44,000).  No interest accruals were made for loans that were past due 90 days or more or if the loans were deemed non-performing.

As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, total restructured loans decreased $411,000,$601,000, or eight12 percent, to $4.8$4.6 million from $5.2 million at June 30, 2018.  At both September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, $2.7 million and $3.4 million of these restructured loans were classified as non-performing.non-performing, respectively.  As of September 30, 2018, $3.1March 31, 2019, $2.9 million, or 6663 percent, of the restructured loans have a current payment status, consistent with their modified payment terms; this compares to $2.9 million, or 56 percent, of restructured loans that had a current payment status, consistent with their modified payment terms as of June 30, 2018.

Occasionally, the Corporation is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or other institutional investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or if one of the parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 90-days past due within 120 days of the loan funding date. During the first threenine months of fiscal 2019, the Corporation repurchased threefive loans totaling $253,000,$699,000, including two loans that were fully charged off ($25,000). In comparison, the Corporation did not repurchase anyrepurchased two loans totaling $602,000 from investors during the first threenine months of fiscal 2018 pursuant to the recourse/repurchase covenants contained in the loan sale agreement.2018. Additional repurchase requests may have been settled that did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself.  The primary reasons for honoring the repurchase requests are borrower fraud, undisclosed liabilities on borrower applications, and documentation, verification and appraisal disputes.  For the first threenine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Corporation recorded a $33,000 recovery and a $22,000 recovery from the recourse liability, and did not settle any claims; while for the first three months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation did not record a recourse provisionrespectively, and did not settle any claims.  As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the total recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase decreased to $250,000, as compared to $283,000 at both June 30, 2018 and $305,000 at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

Beginning in 2008, in connection with the downturn in the real estate market, the Corporation implemented tighter underwriting standards to reduce potential loan repurchase requests, including requiring higher credit scores, generally lower debt-to-income ratios, and verification of income and assets, among other criteria.  Despite management's diligent estimate of the recourse reserve, the Corporation is still subject to risks and uncertainties associated with potentially higher loan repurchase claims from investors, and there are no assurances that the current recourse reserve will be sufficient to cover all future recourse claims.

The following table shows the summary of the recourse liability for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017:2018:

A decline in real estate values subsequent to the time of origination of the Corporation's real estate secured loans could result in higher loan delinquency levels, foreclosures, provisions for loan losses and net charge-offs.  Real estate values and real estate markets are beyond the Corporation's control and are generally affected by changes in national, regional or local economic conditions and other factors.  These factors include fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and policies and acts of nature, such as earthquakes, fires and national disasters particular to California where substantially all of the Corporation's real estate collateral is located.  If real estate values decline from the levels described in the following tables (which were derived at the time of loan origination), the value of the real estate collateral securing the Corporation's loans as set forth in the table could be significantly overstated.  The Corporation's ability to recover on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would
69
then be diminished and it would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans.  The Corporation generally does not update the loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") on its loans held for investment by obtaining new appraisals or broker price opinions (nor does the Corporation intend to do so in the future as a result of the costs and inefficiencies associated with completing the task) unless a specific loan has demonstrated deterioration or the Corporation receives a loan modification request from a borrower (in which case individually evaluated allowances are established, if required).  Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the LTV ratios disclosed in the following tables may be understated or overstated in comparison to their current LTV ratios as a result of their year of origination, the subsequent general decline or improvement in real estate values that has occurred and the
55

specific location and condition of the individual properties.  The Corporation has not quantified the current LTVs of its loans held for investment nor the impact the decline or improvement in real estate values has had on the original LTVs of its loans held for investment.

Loans that the Corporation has originated for sale are primarily sold on a servicing released basis.  Clear ownership is conveyed to the investor by endorsing the original note in favor of the investor; transferring the servicing to a new servicer consistent with investor instructions; communicating the servicing transfer to the borrower as required by law; and sending the loan file and collateral instruments electronically to the investor contemporaneous with receiving the cash proceeds from the sale of the loan.  Additionally, the Corporation registers the change of ownership in the mortgage electronic registration system known as MERS as required by the contractual terms of the loan sale agreement.  Also, the Corporation retains an imaged copy of the entire loan file and collateral instruments as an abundance of caution in the event questions arise that can only be answered by reviewing the loan file.  Additionally, the Corporation does not originate or sponsor mortgage-backed securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation's primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from the sale of loans originated for sale, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, FHLB – San Francisco advances, access to the discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and access to a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and loan sales are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The primary investing activity of the Corporation is the origination and purchase of loans held for investment and loans held for sale.  During the first threenine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Corporation originated $233.0and purchased $573.4 million and $437.2 million$1.07 billion of loans, respectively.  The total loans sold in the first threenine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 were $211.8$516.0 million and $381.1$968.3 million, respectively.  At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Corporation had loan origination commitments totaling $49.2$16.6 million, undisbursed lines of credit totaling $2.0$1.4 million and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $5.1$6.1 million.  The Corporation anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments.

The Corporation's primary financing activity is gathering deposits.  During the first threenine months of fiscal 2019, the net decrease in deposits was $5.5$30.7 million or three percent, primarily due to non-renewing scheduled maturities in time deposits. The decrease in time deposits was consistent with the Corporation's operating strategy. Time deposits decreased $5.0$27.4 million, or two12 percent, to $232.6$210.2 million at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $237.6 million at June 30, 2018.  At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, time deposits with a principal amount of $250,000 or less and scheduled to mature in one year or less were $124.0$93.5 million and total time deposits with a principal amount of $100,000more than $250,000 and scheduled to mature in one year or higherless were $120.7$22.8 million. Historically, the Corporation has been able to retain a significant percentage of its time deposits as they mature.

The Corporation must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities.  The Corporation generally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet short-term liquidity needs.  At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, total cash and cash equivalents were $78.9$61.5 million, or sevenfive percent of total assets.  Depending on market conditions and the pricing of deposit products and FHLB – San Francisco advances, the Bank may rely on FHLB – San Francisco advances for part of its liquidity needs.  As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, total borrowings were $111.1$101.1 million and the financing availability at FHLB – San Francisco was limited to 35 percent of total assets; the remaining borrowing facility was $289.8$280.9 million and the remaining available collateral was $510.0$485.7 million. In addition, the Bank has secured a $59.9an $80.5 million discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, collateralized by investment securities with a fair market value of $63.7$85.6 million.  As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Bank also has a borrowing arrangement in the form of a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank for $17.0 million that matures on June 30, 2019 which the Bank intends to renew upon maturity.  The Bank had no advances under its correspondent bank or discount window facility as of September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

78
Regulations require thrifts to maintain adequate liquidity to assure safe and sound operations. The Bank's average liquidity ratio (defined as the ratio of average qualifying liquid assets to average deposits and borrowings) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 increased to 16.622.6 percent from 14.9 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

The Bank, as a federally-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the OCC. Under the OCC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. In addition, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. as a savings and loan holding company registered with the FRB and is required by the FRB to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the OCC requirements.

63

At September 30, 2018, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. andMarch 31, 2019, the Bank each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.  The Bank was categorized "well-capitalized" at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 under the regulations of the OCC.

As a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve. For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis, and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. were subject to regulatory capital guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets at March 31, 2019, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.  The regulatory capital ratios calculated for Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. at March 31, 2019 were 10.81% for Tier 1 leverage-based capital, 18.32% for Tier 1 risk-based capital, 19.42% for total risk-based capital, and 18.32% for common equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital ratio.

The dollar amounts and ratios include the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and 1.875% of risk-weighted assets at March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, except the Tier 1 leverage capital dollar amounts and ratios.
In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and the Bank will haveis required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This requirement began to be phased in on January 1, 2016 at an amount more than 0.625 percent of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year to an amount more than to 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets when fully implemented in January 2019. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Bank's capital conservation buffer was an amount more than 1.875%.10.34% as filed in the Call Report with the OCC.

ITEM 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

One of the Corporation's principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuating interest rates.  The Corporation has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in interest rates by attempting to manage the repricing mismatch between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The principal element in achieving this objective is to increase the interest-rate sensitivity of the Corporation's interest-earning assets by retaining for its portfolio new loan originations with interest rates subject to periodic adjustment to market conditions and by selling fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans.  In addition, the Corporation maintains an investment portfolio, which is largely in U.S. government agency MBS and U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS with contractual maturities of up to 30 years that reprice frequently or have a relatively short-average life.  The Corporation relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funds while utilizing FHLB – San Francisco advances as a secondary source of funding.  Management believes retail deposits, unlike brokered deposits, reduces the effects of interest rate fluctuations because they generally represent a more stable source of funds.  As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, the Corporation promotes transaction accounts and time deposits with terms up to seven years.

Through the use of an internal interest rate risk model, the Corporation is able to analyze its interest rate risk exposure by measuring the change in net portfolio value ("NPV") over a variety of interest rate scenarios.  NPV is defined as the net present value of expected future cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.  The calculation is intended to illustrate the change in NPV that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates of -200, -100, +100, +200 +300 and +400+300 basis points ("bp") with no effect given to steps that management might take to counter the effect of the interest rate movement. The current federal funds rate is 2.252.50 percent making an immediate change of -200 and -300 basis points improbable.

The pre-shock NPV ratio declined 26increased 68 basis points to 9.9810.92 percent at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from 10.24 percent at June 30, 2018 and the post-shock NPV ratio declined 21increased 53 basis points to 9.4110.15 percent at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from 9.62 percent at June 30, 2018.  The declineincrease of the NPV ratios was primarily attributable to net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and a higher net valuation of total assets in comparison to total liabilities, partly offset by a $7.5 million cash dividend distribution from the Bank to the CorporationProvident Financial Holdings, Inc. in September 2018, partly offset by net income in the first three months of fiscal 2019.2018.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables.  For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates.  Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.  Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from time deposits could likely deviate significantly from those assumed when calculating the results described in the tables above.  It is also possible that, as a result of an interest rate increase, the higher mortgage payments required from ARM borrowers could result in an increase in delinquencies and defaults.  Changes in market interest rates may also affect the volume and profitability of the Corporation's mortgage banking operations.  Accordingly, the data presented in the tables in this section should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in the event of changes in interest rates.  Furthermore, the NPV presented in the foregoing tables is not intended to present the fair market value of the Corporation, nor does it represent amounts that would be available for distribution to shareholders in the event of the liquidation of the Corporation.

The Corporation measures and evaluates the potential effects of interest rate movements through an interest rate sensitivity "gap" analysis.  Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest income when there is movement in interest rates. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents contractual repricing or scheduled maturity.  For transaction accounts (checking, money market and savings deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents estimated principal cash flows and, as applicable, the Corporation's historical experience, management's judgment and statistical analysis as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors.

(1) Cash and cash equivalents are presented as estimated repricing; investment securities and loans held for investment are presented as contractual maturities or contractual repricing (without consideration for prepayments); loans held for sale and transaction accounts are presented as estimated repricing; FHLB - San Francisco stock is presented as contractual repricing; while time deposits (without consideration for early withdrawals) and borrowings are presented as contractual maturities.

The static gap analysis shows a positive position in the "Cumulative repricing gap - dollar amount" category, indicating more assets are sensitive to
67

repricing than liabilities. Management views non-interest bearing deposits to be the least sensitive to
82
changes in market interest rates and these accounts are therefore characterized as long-term funding. Interest-bearing checking deposits are considered more sensitive, followed by increased sensitivity for savings and money market deposits. For the purpose of calculating gap, a portion of these interest-bearing deposit balances are assumed to be subject to estimated repricing as follows: interest-bearing checking deposits at 15% per year, savings deposits at 20% per year and money market deposits at 50% in the first and second years..years.

The gap results presented above could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or if actual experience differs from the assumptions used in the preparation of the gap analysis.  Furthermore, the gap analysis provides a static view of interest rate risk exposure at a specific point in time without taking into account redirection of cash flows activity and deposit fluctuations, and repricing.fluctuations.

The extent to which the net interest margin will be impacted by changes in prevailing interest rates will depend on a number of factors, including how quickly interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities react to interest rate changes. It is not uncommon for rates on certain assets or liabilities to lag behind changes in the market rates of interest.  Additionally, prepayments of loans and early withdrawals of certificates of deposit could cause interest sensitivities to vary.  As a result, the relationship between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as shown in the previous table, is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity and the effect of changing rates of interest on net interest income is likely to be different from that predicted solely on the basis of the interest rate sensitivity analysis set forth in the previous table.

The Corporation also models the sensitivity of net interest income for the 12-month period subsequent to any given month-end assuming a dynamic balance sheet accounting for, among other items:

The Corporation's current balance sheet and repricing characteristics;
Forecasted balance sheet growth consistent with the business plan;
Current interest rates and yield curves and management estimates of projected interest rates;
Embedded options, interest rate floors, periodic caps and lifetime caps;
Repricing characteristics for market rate sensitive instruments;
Loan, investment, deposit and borrowing cash flows;
Loan prepayment estimates for each type of loan; and
Immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates of plus 400, 300, 200 and 100 and minus 100 and 200 basis points.  

The following table describes the results of the analysis at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

At September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Corporation was asset sensitive as its interest-earning assets at those dates are expected to reprice more quickly than its interest-bearing liabilities during the subsequent 12-month period.  Therefore, in a rising interest rate environment, the model projects an increase in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period.  In a falling interest rate environment, the results project a decrease in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period.

Management believes that the assumptions used to complete the analysis described in the table above are reasonable.  However, past experience has shown that immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates will not necessarily
83
occur.  Additionally, while the analysis provides a tool to evaluate the projected net interest income to changes in interest rates, actual results may be substantially different if actual experience differs from the assumptions used to complete the analysis, particularly with respect to the 12-month business plan when asset growth is forecast.  Therefore, the model results that the Corporation discloses should be thought of as a risk management tool to compare the trends of the Corporation's current disclosure to previous disclosures, over time, within the context of the actual performance of the treasury yield curve.


ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures.

a) An evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation's Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  In designing and evaluating the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected.  Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Based on their evaluation, the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

b) There have been no changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.  The Corporation does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

ThereExcept as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.

The discontinuation of our mortgage banking segment could adversely affect our results of operations.

On February 4, 2019, we announced the discontinuation of our mortgage banking segment conducted through Provident Bank Mortgage, a division of Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. by June 30, 2019. As a result, we expect to incur one-time costs of approximately $3.6 million to $4.0 million during the remainder of fiscal 2019. It may take longer than we expect to complete the winding down of this business and we may incur costs that exceed our estimated costs. Although we anticipate the elimination of quarterly pre-tax losses from the mortgage banking segment and further anticipate increases in our pre-tax income of $1.2 million per quarter as a result of the discontinuation of the mortgage banking business, no assurance can be given as to when or whether we will realize these benefits.
