SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1999 Note 1: Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The balance sheet data at June 30, 1999 is derived from audited financial statements of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999 (File No. 0-28304) of the Company. Certain amounts in the prior period's financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. Note 2: Earnings Per Share Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders 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. The following tables provide the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

SFAS No. 133 will become effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 133, if any, and will adopt this statement in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Provident Financial" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was organized in January 1996 for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Savings Bank") upon the Savings Bank's conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank ("Conversion"). The Conversion was completed on June 27, 1996. At December 31, 1999, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion, total deposits of $706.2 million and stockholders' equity of $85.7 million. Provident Financial has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Savings Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Savings Bank and its subsidiaries. The Savings Bank, founded in 1956, is federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Riverside, California. The Savings Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the insurer of its deposits. The Savings Bank's deposits are federally insured up to applicable limits by FDIC (under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")). The Savings Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system since 1956. The Savings Bank's business consists of both traditional savings and loan and mortgage banking operations. The savings and loan operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding its full service offices and investing these funds in one-to-four-family mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, in multi-family, commercial real estate, construction, business, consumer and other loans. Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured by one-to-four- family residences and the servicing of such loans for others. In addition, the Savings Bank also facilitates business loans, business checking accounts and other business banking services. The Savings Bank's revenue are derived principally from interest on its loan and investment portfolio and fees generated through its mortgage banking activities. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Selected Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 Total assets increased by $244.2 million, or 26 percent, to $1.2 billion at December 31, 1999 from $957.4 million at June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily the result of an increase of $206.1 million, or 29 percent, in total loans receivable, net (including loans held for sale) to $913.2 million at December 31, 1999 from $707.1 million at June 30, 1999; and, to a lesser extent, an increase of $16.1 million, or 9 percent, in total investment securities to $203.3 million at December 31, 1999 from $187.2 million at June 30, 1999. The rapid growth in portfolio loans was primarily attributable to a shift in borrower preference toward adjustable rate loans, which are typically held in portfolio, from fixed rate mortgages, which are typically sold; and the economic characteristics of the Company's market area. Funding for this growth was provided by an increase of $73.4 million in deposits and an increase of $170.8 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. 9 Total stockholders' equity decreased by $4.0 million during the period ended December 31, 1999, which was mainly the result of the repurchase of 393,500 shares of the Company's common stock that totaled $7.5 million. Through December 31, 1999, the Company completed 90 percent of its 10 percent stock repurchase program announced in July 1999. Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 The Company's net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $1.8 million, an increase of $242,000, or 15 percent, from $1.6 million during the same quarter in 1998. This increase was due to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in operating expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's net income was $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The Company's net interest income increased by 21 percent to $7.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $6.1 million during the comparable period of 1998. The increase in net interest income reflects growth in average earning assets, which increased by $252.1 million, or 31 percent, during the current quarter. The effect of earning asset growth was partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin narrowed to 2.74 percent from 2.95 percent during the same period of 1998. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, net interest income was $14.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 65 percent in the current quarter from 70 percent in the same period of 1998. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the efficiency ratio was 68 percent and 69 percent, respectively. Return on average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was 0.66 percent and 0.75 percent, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the return on average assets was 0.65 percent and 0.76 percent, respectively. Return on average equity for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was 8.56 percent and 7.61 percent, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the return on average equity was 7.96 percent and 7.51 percent, respectively. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $0.49, an increase of 26 percent from $0.39 in the quarter ended December 31, 1998. For six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the diluted earnings per share were $0.90 and $0.76, respectively. The increase in the net earnings per share was attributable to the growth in earning assets and the Company's stock repurchase programs during fiscal years 1999 and 2000. Interest Income. Interest income increased by $4.5 million, or 31 percent, to $19.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $14.8 million during the same quarter in 1998. This was the result of an increase in average interest earning assets from $820.9 million to $1.1 billion. Loan interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 19 percent, to $15.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $13.3 million for the same period in 1998. This increase was attributable to growth in average loans, including those held for sale, from $723.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 to$849.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000 and a higher average loan yield, 7.37 percent versus 7.47 percent, respectively. The interest income from investment securities, including Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, increased by $2.0 million, or 139 percent to $3.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $1.4 million for the same quarter in 1998. This was mainly a result of an increase in the amount of average investment securities from $97.0 million during the second quarter of 1999 to $223.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000. 10 For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the interest income increased by $7.4 million, or 26 percent, to $36.4 million as compared to the same period in 1998. This increase was attributable to an increase in average earnings assets from $806.2 million during the first half of fiscal 1999 to $1.0 billion during the first half of fiscal 2000. The interest income on loans increased by $3.6 million, or 14 percent, to $29.8 million as average loans increased from $713.9 million to $800.2 million during the same period in fiscal 1999 and 2000, respectively. The average yield on loans increased by 11 basis points to 7.45 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. The interest income on investments also increased by $4.1 million, or 158 percent, to $6.6 million as average investments increased from $92.4 million to $217.7 million during the same period in fiscal 1999 and 2000, respectively. The average yield on investments, however, increased only by 8 basis points to 6.10 percent while investment represented the majority of earning asset growth. As a result, the overall average yield on earning assets declined by 3 basis points to 7.16 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $11.9 million as compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 1998, an increase of $3.2 million, or 37 percent. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in average FHLB advances and deposits. The average cost of liabilities was 4.68 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 1999, up 5 basis points as compared from the same period in 1998. Average deposits increased by $85.6 million, or 14 percent, during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998, and the average rate paid on deposits decreased to 4.33 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from 4.48 percent during the same quarter in 1998. The decrease in the deposit average rate was due to the fact that maturing deposits were replaced with lower rates. Borrowings, which are mainly FHLB advances, averaged $309.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $131.5 million for the same quarter in 1998. The average rate paid on the borrowings increased to 5.46 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from 5.33 percent in the same quarter in 1998. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, total interest expense increased by $4.6 million, or 26 percent, to $22.0 million as compared to the same period in 1998. The average cost of liabilities decreased by 14 basis points to 4.58 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. Average deposits increased by $74.8 million, or 12 percent, to $678.5 million while the average cost decreased by 29 basis points to 4.27 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. Average borrowings increased by $145.6 million, or 113 percent, to $274.1 million while the average cost decreased by 15 basis points to 5.34 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1999. 11 The following table depicts the average balance sheets for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively: Average Balance Sheets (dollars in thousands) Quarter Ended Quarter Ended December 31, 1999 December 31, 1998 ------------------------- ------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Cost Balance Interest Cost ------- -------- ----- ------- -------- ----- Interest earning assets: Loans (1)............. $ 849,199 $15,851 7.47% $723,814 $13,330 7.37% Investment securities. 223,793 3,418 6.11% 97,048 1,433 5.91% ---------- ------- ---- -------- ------- ---- Total interest earning assets............... 1,072,992 19,269 7.18% 820,862 14,763 7.19% Non-interest earning assets............... 46,806 35,791 ---------- -------- Total assets.......... $1,119,798 $856,653 ========== ======== Interest-bearing liabilities: Deposits.............. 699,753 7,644 4.33% 614,108 6,933 4.48% Borrowings............ 309,814 4,263 5.46% 131,523 1,768 5.33% ---------- ------- ---- -------- ------- ---- Total interest-bearing liabilities.......... 1,009,567 11,907 4.68% 745,631 8,701 4.63% Non-interest-bearing liabilities.......... 23,878 26,576 ---------- -------- Total liabilities..... 1,033,445 772,207 Retained earnings..... 86,353 84,446 ---------- -------- Total liabilities and retained earnings.... $1,119,798 $856,653 ========== ------- ======== ------- Net interest income... $ 7,362 $ 6,062 ======= ======= Interest rate spread (2) 2.50% 2.56% Net interest margin (3) 2.74% 2.95% Ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities.......... 106.28% 110.09% Return on average assets 0.66% 0.75% Return on average equity 8.56% 7.61% (1) Includes loans available for sale.

For purposes of calculating volume, rate and rate/volume variances, non-accrual loans were included in the weighted average balance outstanding. Provision for Loan Losses. There were no provisions for loan losses during the quarter ended December 31, 1999. This compares to $150,000 during the same period in 1998. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999 was $6.7 million as compared to $6.5 million at the same period in 1998. The allowance as a percent of gross loans held for investment at December 31, 1999 was 0.79 percent as compared to 0.98 percent at December 31, 1998. Net recoveries were $6,000 during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to net charge offs of $80,000 during the same period of fiscal 1999. 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 loan portfolio and upon management's continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, current and anticipated economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, and determination of the realizable value of the collateral securing the loans. Provisions for losses are charged against operations on a monthly basis as necessary to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels. Management believes that the amount maintained in the allowance will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Company's loan portfolio, will not request the Company to increase significantly 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 due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the control of the Company. 15 The following table is provided to disclose additional details on the Company's allowance for loan losses and asset quality (dollars in thousands): Allowance for Loan Losses For the Six Months Ended ------------------------------------------ December 31, 1999 December 31, 1998 ----------------- ----------------- Allowance at beginning of period $ 6,721 $ 6,186 Provision for loan losses - 375 Recoveries: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family............ 6 17 Multifamily................... - - Commercial.................... - - Construction.................. - - Consumer loans.................. - 35 Commercial business lending..... - - ------- ------- Total recoveries............ 6 52 Charge-offs: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family............ - (88) Multifamily................... - - Commercial.................... - - Construction.................. - - Consumer loans.................. - (44) Commercial business lending..... - - ------- ------- Total charge-offs........... - (132) ------- ------- Net recoveries (charge-offs) 6 (80) ------- ------- Balance at end of period.. $ 6,727 $ 6,481 ======= ======= Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment................. 0.79% 0.98% Net recovery (charge offs) as a percentage of average loans outstanding during the period.. 0.00% (0.02%) Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans at the end of the period. 342.86% 256.27% 16 Asset Quality.

Factors considered in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, financial condition of the borrower and the current economic conditions. The Company measures each impaired loan based on the fair value of its collateral and charges off those loans or portions of loans deemed uncollectible. 17 Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by $1.5 million, or 44 percent, to $1.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $3.4 million during the same period in 1998. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in gains from the sale of loans. Total loans sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased by $119.2 million, or 65 percent, to $64.7 million as compared to $183.9 million in the same period in fiscal 1999. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the non-interest income decreased by $2.3 million, or 36 percent, to $4.1 million as compared to the same period in 1998. Total loans sold during the first half of fiscal 2000 decreased by $179.2 million, or 54 percent, to $150.7 million as compared to $329.8 million in the same period in fiscal 1999. Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses decreased by $433,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 to $6.1 million from $6.5 million in the same period in 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower compensation costs. Non-interest expenses as percentage of average assets improved to 2.16 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 3.03 percent during the same period in fiscal 1999. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the non-interest expenses increased by $507,000 to $12.6 million as compared to the same period in 1998. This increase was due mainly to an increase in equipment expense related to the Company's recent computer system conversion. Non-interest expenses as percentage of average assets also improved to 2.36 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 from 2.87 percent during the same period in fiscal 1999. Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the quarters ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 1998. For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the income tax expense was $2.5 million as compared to $2.3 million during the same period in 1998. The effective tax rate for the second quarter and for six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was 42 percent. 18 The following table is provided to disclose additional details related to the volume of loans originated, purchased and sold (dollars in thousands): Loan Volume Activities For the Quarter Ended For the Six Months Ended December 31, December 31, --------------------- ------------------------ 1999 1998 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- -------- Loans originated for sale: Retail originations..... $ 38,353 $ 83,876 $100,413 $151,551 Wholesale originations.. 46,876 122,818 77,310 214,754 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total loans originated for sale.............. 85,229 206,694 177,723 366,305 Loans sold: Servicing released...... 64,436 166,170 149,379 311,899 Servicing retained...... 240 17,698 1,275 17,919 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total loans sold....... 64,676 183,868 150,654 329,818 Loans originated for portfolio: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family.... 89,084 38,125 188,972 82,858 Multifamily........... - - 2,100 - Commercial............ - 444 2,613 2,075 Construction loans.... 11,592 7,230 26,815 14,749 Consumer................ 7,849 6,761 18,675 12,845 Commercial business lending................ 3,242 4,737 5,817 8,285 Other loans............. 161 42 672 110 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total loans originated for portfolio......... 111,928 57,339 245,664 120,922 Loans purchased: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family...... - - - - Commercial.............. 1,517 1,010 5,126 1,010 Total loans purchased... 1,517 1,010 5,126 1,010 -------- -------- -------- -------- Mortgage loan principal repayments.............. 27,905 66,160 72,955 115,516 Real estate acquired in settlement of loans..... 1,033 689 1,033 901 Increase in other items, net (1)................. 4,963 4,607 2,325 1,685 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net increase in loans receivable, net......... $110,023 $ 18,933 $206,196 $ 43,687 ======== ======== ======== ======== (1) Includes changes in loans in process, discounts, deferred fees and costs and loan loss reserves. 19 Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funding include deposits, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments, sales of loans, the maturity of and interest income on investment securities, and FHLB advances. The Savings Bank has a credit line available with the FHLB of San Francisco of 40 percent of total assets, which, on December 31, 1999 permitted additional advances of $70.9 million, in addition to having unsecured lines with its correspondent banks. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, loan sales, and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination of mortgage loans through the Savings Bank. For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Savings Bank originated $197.2 million of loans as compared to $264.0 million during the same period in 1998. For six months ended December 31, 1999, the Bank originated $423.4 million of loans as compared to $487.2 million during the same period in 1998. This activity was funded primarily by loan sales, loan principal payments, deposits and FHLB advances. For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, loan sales aggregated $64.7 million and loan principal payments totaled $27.9 million. For six months ended December 31, 1999, loans sales aggregated $150.7 million and loan principal payments totaled $73.0 million. By regulation, the Savings Bank must maintain a minimum liquidity equal to 4 percent of deposits and short-term borrowings. Liquidity is measured by cash and readily marketable securities which are not committed, pledged, or required as collateral for specific liabilities. The Savings Bank's average liquidity ratios for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999 were 12.3 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively. The Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions, the Savings Bank must meet certain specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Savings Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Savings Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. The Savings Bank's actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 1999 are as follows (dollars in thousands): Amount Percent ------ ------- Tangible capital.................... $ 70,215 5.92% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 23,734 2.00% -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 46,481 3.92% ======== ===== Tier 1 (core) capital............... $ 70,215 5.92% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 59,335 5.00% -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 10,880 0.92% ======== ===== Total risk-based capital............ $ 77,230 11.13% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 69,417 10.00% -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 7,813 1.13% ======== ===== Tier 1 risk-based capital........... $ 70,215 10.12% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 41,650 6.00% -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 28,565 4.12% ======== ===== 20 Year 2000 Readiness General - ------- Year 2000 issues relate to the possibility of computer programs and hardware not being able to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000. If it was not corrected, some, if not all, systems used by the Company would have been at risk of not being able to function properly. To prevent this from happening, the Company undertook a major project to ensure that its internal operating systems, as well as those of its customers and suppliers, would be fully capable of processing transactions in the Year 2000 and beyond. The Company completed testing on all internal mission critical components and the project is on schedule according to the Year 2000 milestones established by Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC"). Project - ------- The Company formed a Year 2000 Committee in July 1997 which consisted of the Chief Information Officer and senior management staff from all levels. The committee reported the progress of Year 2000 progress to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. Regular review is also done by the Internal Audit department. In addition, the Company engaged an information technology consultant to strengthen the Year 2000 project team. The Company completed the replacement of its core processing systems in March 1999 and has completed Year 2000 testing subsequent to its installation. The Company also reviewed its critical non-information technology systems to assess the risk of Year 2000 failure. Critical systems that posed risk of Year 2000 failure were supported by detailed contingency plans, which were developed to ensure uninterrupted services. The Company, as part of its Year 2000 remediation plan, monitored the progress of critical third party vendors as they implemented corrective actions to ensure an uninterrupted flow of goods and services. For both systems and vendors that were classified as critical, contingency plans were developed which included, among other things, alternate processing methods, steps for transitioning to manual processes, and alternate vendors or sources of goods and services. The Company contacted its commercial borrowers to assess their Year 2000 exposure and continues to monitor their remediation progress. The Company has also distributed a Year 2000 Readiness Statement to all depositors, borrowers, and vendors. The Company successfully rolled over into year 2000 and continues to monitor the overall systems and critical vendors. Costs - ----- The cost of the project was originally estimated at $3.5 million, which included approximately $2.5 million in replacement equipment and software, $400,000 in equipment write-down, and $200,000 in external project management expenses. In addition, the estimated value of internal resources allocated to the Year 2000 project is $400,000. The total cost of the project was within budget with a total of $3.4 million, or 96 percent, of the total cost spent as of December 31, 1999. The replacement equipment and software was capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the Company's normal accounting policies. Risks - ----- The failure of not being able to completely detect potential problems related to Year 2000 could have resulted in an interruption of normal business activities or operations, which may have materially and adversely affected the Company's results of operations. As a participant in domestic payment systems, the Company's Year 2000 preparedness was largely dependent upon the readiness of other participants in the system including the United States government. The Company relies largely on third-party software vendors and service providers for many critical functions in the conduct of its businesses. The focus of the Company has been to monitor and test the Year 2000 compliance progress of its critical vendors. The Year 2000 project significantly reduced the risk inherent in the Year 2000 problem. 21 Supplemental Information December 31, 1999 June 30, 1999 December 31, 1998 ----------------- ------------- ----------------- Loans serviced for others (in thousands).. $ 284,909 $ 315,028 $ 400,984 Book value per share.... $ 21.48 $ 20.45 $ 18.53 Forward-looking Statement Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
