SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2000 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, 2000 is derived from audited consolidated 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 accounting 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, 2000 (File No. 000-28304) 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 quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Company adopted the new standard in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 with no effect on the overall financial statements. 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 September 30, 2000, the Company had total assets of $1.1 billion, total deposits of $693.0 million and stockholders' equity of $90.9 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 a 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 traditional savings and loan operations and mortgage banking activities. The savings and loan operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Savings Bank's full service offices and investing these funds in commercial real estate, construction, business, consumer loans and, to a lesser extent, in one-to-four-family, multi-family and other loans. In addition, the Savings Bank also facilitates business checking accounts and other business banking services, including the servicing of loans for others. Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family residences. The Savings Bank's revenues 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 September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000 In line with the Company's interest risk mitigation strategies as mentioned on page five of the Company's 10-K report as of June 30, 2000, total assets decreased by $15.4 million, or 1 percent, to $1.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $16.5 million, or 2 percent, in total net loans receivable to $860.4 million at September 30, 2000 from $876.9 million at June 30, 2000. The proceeds from sales of current production of all single family, first trust deed, residential mortgage loans and loan payoffs were used to pay down FHLB advances. Total borrowings, which primarily consist of FHLB advances, declined by $14.6 million to $327.1 million at September 30, 2000 from $341.7 million at June 30, 2000. The average maturity of the Company's existing FHLB advances has been increased from 10.3 months at June 30, 2000 to 11.4 months at September 30, 2000 in anticipation of possible rate 7 increases. These strategies, along with others, are intended to raise the Company's current capital position through reducing the amount of leverage and to mitigate the impact of future interest rate increases. Total deposits declined slightly to $693.0 million at September 30, 2000 from $696.5 million at June 30, 2000. This decline was attributable to normal activities in transactional accounts. The Company continues its focus on building clients' relationships through checking accounts and other banking products and services. Total stockholders' equity increased by $2.0 million during the period ended September 30, 2000, which resulted mainly from the first quarter net income, quarterly ESOP accruals and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale. This increase was partially reduced by resumption of the Company's stock repurchases. A total of 22,000 shares, with an average price of $18.08 per share, were repurchased in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. As of September 30, 2000, 22 percent of the authorized 197,000 shares has been repurchased with an average price of $16.44 per share. Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 The Company's net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $1.7 million, an increase of $123,000, or 8 percent, from $1.6 million during the same quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the gains on sale of loans, which was partly offset by the decline in net interest income. The gains on sale of loans increased by $461,000, or 54 percent, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $848,000 during the same quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily due to higher loan sale volume and higher loan sale margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2000. The loan sale volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $111.4 million compared to $86.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company's net interest income decreased by 8 percent to $6.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $7.1 million during the comparable period of 1999. This decrease resulted from the increase in cost of funds, which outpaced the increase in earning assets. The cost of funds increased by 87 basis points while the yield on earning assets increased by only 26 basis points. The average earning assets during the first quarter 2001 were $1.1 billion, an increase of $127.1 million, or 13 percent, as compared to $962.8 million during the same quarter last year. The effect of earning asset growth was offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin narrowed to 2.40 percent in the first quarter from 2.95 percent during the same period of 1999. The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 68 percent in the first quarter from 70 percent in the same period of 1999. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in mortgage banking revenue. Return on average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 0.61 percent and 0.64 percent, respectively. Return on average equity for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 7.81 percent and 7.36 percent, respectively. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $0.48, an increase of 17 percent from $0.41 in the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The increase in the net earnings per share reflects the Company's stock repurchase programs during fiscal years 1999 and 2000. Interest Income. Interest income increased by $3.0 million, or 18 percent, to $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $17.2 million during the same quarter in 1999. This increase was the result of growth in average earning assets and higher overall market rates. The average earnings assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $1.1 billion as compared to $962.8 million during the same period last year. The average yield on earning assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.42 percent, 29 basis points higher than the average yield of 7.13 percent during the same period last year. Loan interest income increased by $2.7 million, or 20 percent, to $16.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 1999. This increase was 8 attributable to growth in average loans, including those available for sale, from $751.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $867.5 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2001. The average loan yield during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.69 percent as compared to 7.43 percent during the same quarter last year. The interest income from investment securities, including Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock, increased by $300,000, or 10 percent to $3.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $3.2 million during the same quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in the amount of average investment securities and an increase in the average yield. The average investment securities increased by $10.8 million, or 5 percent, to $222.5 million during the first quarter of 2001 from $211.7 million in the same quarter last year. The average yield on investment securities increased by 28 basis points to 6.36% during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 6.08% during the same period last year. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $13.7 million as compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of $3.6 million, or 36 percent. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in average deposits and FHLB advances as well as the cost of both. The average cost of liabilities was 5.33 percent during the quarter ended September 30, 2000, up 87 basis points as compared to 4.46 percent from the same period in 1999. Average deposits increased by $35.2 million, or 5 percent, to $692.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $657.3 million during the same period in 1999. The average cost of deposits increased to 4.82 percent during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from 4.21 percent during the same quarter in 1999. The increase in the average rate on deposits was due to higher market rates. Borrowings, which are mainly FHLB advances, averaged $327.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $238.4 million for the same quarter in 1999, an increase of $89.4 million. The average cost on the borrowings increased to 6.41 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from 5.18 percent in the same quarter in 1999. This increase resulted from the lengthening of short-term borrowings to mitigate the future impact of rising rates. 9 The following table depicts the average balance sheets for the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively: Average Balance Sheets (dollars in thousands) Quarter Ended Quarter Ended September 30, 2000 September 30, 1999 ---------------------------------- -------------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Cost Balance Interest Cost ---------- -------- ---- ---------- -------- ---- Interest earning assets: Loans (1..................... $ 867,472 $ 16,680 7.69% $ 751,182 $ 13,951 7.43% Investment securities........ 203,759 3,182 6.25 198,969 3,101 6.23 FHLB stock................... 17,537 338 7.71 12,188 112 3.68 Interest-earning deposits.... 1,198 19 6.34 494 6 4.86 ---------- -------- ---- ---------- -------- ---- Total interest earning assets...................... 1,089,966 20,219 7.42% 962,833 17,170 7.13% Non-interest earning assets.. 47,781 45,930 ---------- ---------- Total assets................. $1,137,747 $1,008,763 ========== ========== Interest-bearing liabilities: Savings accounts............. $ 84,327 684 3.23% $ 82,827 548 2.63% Demand and negotiable order of Withdrawal ("NOW") accounts. 152,515 942 2.46 147,210 1,022 2.75 Certificates of deposit...... 455,704 6,759 5.90 427,274 5,397 5.01 ---------- -------- ---- ---------- -------- ---- Total deposits............... 692,546 8,385 4.82% 657,311 6,967 4.21% FHLB advances................ 324,523 5,217 6.40% 238,210 3,110 5.18% Other borrowings............. 3,285 67 8.11 184 2 4.32 ---------- -------- ---- ---------- -------- ---- Total interest-bearing liabilities................. 1,020,354 13,669 5.33% 895,705 10,079 4.46% Non-interest-bearing liabilities................ 28,644 25,593 ---------- ---------- Total liabilities........... 1,048,998 921,298 Stockholders' equity........ 88,749 87,465 ---------- ---------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity....... $1,137,747 $1,008,763 ========== -------- ========== -------- Net interest income......... $ 6,550 $ 7,091 ======== ======== Interest rate spread (2).... 2.09% 2.67% Net interest margin (3)..... 2.40% 2.95% Ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest- bearing liabilities........ 106.82% 107.49% Return on average assets.... 0.61% 0.64% Return on average equity.... 7.81% 7.36% (1) Includes loans held 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. No additional loan loss provisions were added during the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000. The allowance for loan losses was $6.9 million at September 30, 2000 as compared to $6.7 million a year earlier. The allowance as a percent of gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2000 was 0.84 percent as compared to 0.87 percent at September 30, 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. 11 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 Quarter Ended ------------------------------------------ September 30, 2000 September 30, 1999 ------------------ ------------------ Allowance at beginning of period. $ 6,850 $ 6,702 Provision for loan losses........ - - Recoveries: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family............. 6 11 Multifamily.................... - - Commercial..................... - - Construction................... - - Consumer loans................... - 14 Commercial business lending...... - - ------------------ ------------------ Total recoveries............. 6 25 Charge-offs: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family............. - - Multifamily.................... - (6) Commercial..................... - - Construction................... - - Consumer loans...................

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. 13 Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $700,000, or 30 percent, to $2.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $2.2 million during the same period in 2000. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in gains from the sale of loans and higher loan sale margin. In addition, the Company sold one of its mortgage lending offices, Pacific Sunbelt Mortgage, in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 for a gain of $114,000. Total loans sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by $25.4 million, or 30 percent, to $111.4 million as compared to $86.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2000. Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expense decreased by $92,000 to $6.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $6.5 million in the same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to (a) a decrease in the incentive based compensation related to the loan production/ mortgage banking division and (b) a decrease in equipment and professional expenses associated with last year's Y2K equipment depreciation and consultant costs. Non-interest expenses as a percentage of average assets improved to 2.26 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 2.58 percent during the same period in fiscal 1999. Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 1999. The effective tax rate for the first quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 42 percent. 14 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 September 30, ----------------------- 2000 1999 --------- --------- Loans originated for sale : Retail originations................ $ 63,117 $ 38,135 Wholesale originations............. 52,777 54,359 --------- --------- Total loans originated for sale. 115,894 92,494 Loans sold: Servicing released................. 111,428 84,943 Servicing retained................. - 1,035 --------- --------- Total loans sold................ 111,428 85,978 Loans originated for portfolio: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family............... - 99,888 Multifamily...................... - 2,100 Commercial....................... 450 2,613 Construction loans............... 14,776 15,223 Consumer........................... - 10,826 Commercial business lending........ 1,690 2,575 Other loans........................ - 511 --------- --------- Total loans originated for portfolio...................... 16,916 133,736 Loans purchased: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family............... 384 - Commercial....................... 1,845 3,609 --------- --------- Total loans purchased........... 2,229 3,609 Mortgage loan principal repayments... 34,930 45,050 Real estate acquired in settlement of loans................. 241 - Decrease in other items, net (1).....

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 equal to 40 percent of total assets, which, on September 30, 2000 permitted additional advances of $129.6 million, in addition to having unsecured lines of $74 million 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 September 30, 2000, the Savings Bank originated $132.8 million of loans as compared to $226.2 million during the same period in 1999. For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, loan sales aggregated $111.4 million, compared to $86.0 million for the same period in 1999, and loan principal payments totaled $34.9 million, compared to $45.1 million for the same period in 1999. 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 first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were 10 percent and 25 percent, respectively. A reduction of the Savings Bank's quarterly average liquidity was attributable mainly to (a) investment securities, totaling $100.0 million, which were pledged to the FHLB to collateralize the Security Backed Credit facility and (b) investment securities, totaling $15.0 million, which were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank to collateralize the Discount Window facility since September 1999. 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 September 30, 2000 are as follows (dollars in thousands): Amount Percent -------- ------- Tangible capital.................... $ 76,453 6.83% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 22,393 2.00 -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 54,060 4.83% ======== ===== Tier 1 (core) capital............... $ 76,453 6.83% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 55,982 5.00 -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 20,471 1.83% ======== ===== Total risk-based capital............ $ 83,830 13.83% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 60,606 10.00 -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 23,224 3.83% ======== ===== Tier 1 risk-based capital........... $ 76,453 12.61% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 36,364 6.00 -------- ----- Excess over requirement............. $ 40,089 6.61% ======== ===== 16 Supplemental Information September 30, 2000 June 30, 2000 September 30, 1999 ------------------ ------------- ------------------ Loans serviced for others (in thousands) $ 249,588 $ 261,183 $ 296,555 Book value per share... $ 23.32 $ 22.68 $ 20.88 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.
