SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 1998 Note 1: Basis of Presentation The unaudited 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 periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The balance sheet data at June 30, 1997 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 accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1997 (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 In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented, and where necessary restated, to conform to the SFAS No. 128 requirements. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: For the Three Months ended For the Nine Months ended March 31, March 31, -------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 -------------------------------------------------------- Numerator: Net income - Numerator for basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share - income available to common stockholders $1,201,000 $1,146,000 $3,821,000 $ 807,000 ========== ========== ========== ========== Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share - Weighted- average shares 4,317,635 4,730,690 4,411,497 4,732,603 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock benefit plans 132,563 7,587 97,644 2,492 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Denominator for diluted earnings per Share-adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions 4,450,198 4,738,277 4,509,141 4,735,095 ========= ========= ========= ========= Basic earnings per share $0.28 $0.24 $0.87 $0.17 Diluted earnings per share $0.27 $0.24 $0.85 $0.17 8 Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (the Company) is a Delaware corporation which was organized in January, 1996 for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the Savings Bank) upon the latter's conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank (the "Conversion"). The conversion was completed on June 27, 1996. The Company operates primarily in one business segment - attracting customer deposits to originate loans secured primarily by mortgages on residential real estate. The segment includes ancillary activities related to real estate lending such as mortgage banking and real estate development. The Savings Bank is a federally chartered savings bank founded in 1956 whose deposits are insured by the FDIC under the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Savings Bank conducts business from its main office in Riverside, California and its nine branch offices. Through the operations of its Profed Mortgage Division (Profed), the Savings Bank has expanded its retail lending market to include a larger portion of Southern California and Southern Nevada. Profed operates three offices within the Savings Bank's retail branch facilities and seven free-standing loan production offices, one of which includes a wholesale loan department. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Selected Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The operating results of the Company depend primarily on its net interest income, its non-interest income (principally from mortgage banking activities) and its non-interest expense. Net interest income is the difference between the income the Company receives on its loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, which consist of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Non-interest income is comprised of income from mortgage banking activities, gain on the occasional sale of assets and miscellaneous fees and income. The contribution of mortgage banking activities to the Company's results of operations is highly dependent on the demand for loans by borrowers and investors, and therefore the amount of gain on sale of loans may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in market interest rates and the local and national economy. The Company's profitability is also affected by the level of non-interest expense. Non-interest expenses include compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, deposit insurance premiums, data servicing expenses, and other operating costs. The Savings Bank incurred a one-time assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Non- interest expenses related to mortgage banking activities include compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, telephone and other operating costs, all of which are related to the volume of loans originated. The Company's results of operations may be adversely affected during periods of reduced loan demand to the extent that non-interest expenses associated with mortgage banking activities are not reduced commensurate with the decrease in loan originations. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1997 Total assets increased by $149.1 million, or 24% to $764.6 million at March 31, 1998 from $615.5 million at June 30, 1997. This increase was chiefly the result of an $84.9 million, or 16.4% increase in loans held for investment to $602.0 million at March 31, 1998 from $517.1 million at June 30, 1997 and a $29.3 million, or 87.2% increase in investment securities to $63.0 million at March 31, 1998 from $33.6 million at June 30, 1997. The Company continued its leveraging strategy by directing a larger percentage of loan originations into its portfolio and increasing its investment portfolio. This expansion was funded by an increase in deposits, which rose by $54.5 million, or 10.8%, from $508.8 million at June 30, 1997. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances provided the remaining financing with an increase of $92.8 million from June 30, 1997. The Company plans to continue utilizing borrowings from FHLB to fund its loan growth objectives. Loans held for sale increased $26.2 million, or 131.0%, to $46.2 million at March 31, 1998, from $20.0 million at June 30, 1997. This increase was the result of increased loan demand in the Company's lending territory and the timing of loan sale settlements. 9 Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 The Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, while for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 the Company recorded net income of $3.8 million and $807,000, respectively. The nine month period in 1997 included a special charge of $3.2 million ($1.9 million after tax) for the SAIF recapitalization assessment. Without this special one-time assessment, the Company would have reported net income of $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Earnings per diluted share were $0.27 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and $0.85 per diluted share for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. Year-to-year operating results were primarily affected by an increase in net interest income tempered, in part, by increases in other operating and administrative expenses. The Company's net interest margin decreased to 3.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 3.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 due to interest rate compression. Interest rate compression occurs when the spread between the rates paid on deposits and borrowings and the rates received on loans and investments begins to narrow. Net interest income increased $730,000 for the third quarter of 1998, or 15.7%, and $1,027,000 for the 1998 nine month period, or 7.2%, compared to the same periods in 1997 due to the increase in the volume of interest earning assets. Interest Income. Interest income increased by $2.5 million (23.3%) to $13.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $10.5 million for the similar quarter last year. The average yield on interest earning assets increased to 7.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 7.3% for the similar period last year. The average balance of investment securities, interest-bearing deposits and FHLB stock decreased by $7.0 million, or 10.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and interest income from these investments decreased by $19,000 compared to the same period last year. The average rate on investment securities rose by 53 basis points to 6.22% for the 1998 quarter compared to 5.69% for the 1997 quarter. Loan interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 26.0%, to $11.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The majority of this increase was attributable to an increase in the level of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. Beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 1996, management undertook a program to increase the level of portfolio loans through retention of mortgage loan production. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, loan interest income rose by $5.6 million, or 19.6%, to $34.1 million from $28.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Average loans receivable, including those held for sale, increased to $595.6 million for nine months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $490.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, while the yield declined to 7.63% from 7.74%, respectively. The average balance of investment securities, interest-bearing deposits, and FHLB stock decreased by $22.3 million, or 28.4%, to $56.2 million as the result of the loan portfolio growth. The interest income from those investments decreased $691,000 or 21.2%, to $2.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The average yield on investment securities held to maturity increased 54 basis points to 6.20% in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to 5.66% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, due to a lengthening of the term of new investments. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $7.6 million as compared to $5.9 million for the comparable period in 1997, an increase of $1.7 million, or 29.3%. Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $21.3 million as compared to $17.4 million for the similar period one year ago, an increase of $3.9 million, or 22.4%. These increases are attributable to an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, particularly FHLB advances. Average deposits increased by $42.5 million, or 8.5%, during the quarter compared to the prior year and $42.6 million, or 8.7%, for the nine months. The rate paid on deposits increased to 4.8% during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 4.75% during the similar quarter in 1997 and to 4.82% from 4.69% during the respective nine month periods. FHLB advances averaged $88.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and $50.0 million compared to $7.2 million during the respective nine month periods. The volume increase on FHLB advances resulted in a $1.17 million or 1,192%, increase in related interest expense for the quarter compared to the prior year and a $1.86 million, or 585.4%, increase for the nine month period. The average rate paid on these advances decreased to 5.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from 5.82% in the same quarter in 1997 and declined to 5.78% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 from 5.88% for the same period in 1997. 10 The following tables provide additional comparative data on the Company's average balances and rate/volume changes.

For purposes of calculating volume, rate and rate/volume variances, non-accrual loans were included in the weighted average balance outstanding 12 Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the quarter and $1,050,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $250,000 and $954,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1997. At March 31, 1998, loan loss reserves as a percentage of gross loans receivable was 1.02% as compared to 1.07% at March 31, 1997. With the recent improvement in the Southern California economy and its housing market, the Company intends to allow its loan loss reserve to decrease below 1% of gross loans. Net charge-offs fell to 5 basis points of average loans during the nine months, down from 30 basis points in the same period last year. 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.

Factors considered in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, the financial condition of the borrower and 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. 14 Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $361,000, or 21.9% ,to $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 from $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the nine month period ending March 31, 1998, non-interest income increased by $560,000, or 9.6%, to $6.4 million, as compared to the same period in 1997. Part of this increase in the nine month period was a result of increases in loan servicing and other fees. The other significant component was gains from the sales of loans which increased by $249,000, or 8.8%, to $3.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 1998. This was due to an increase of $37.1 million in the aggregate amount of loans sold during the period as compared to the same period last year. Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased by $1.0 million during the quarter to $5.0 million from $4.0 million in the same period last year. Non-interest expenses decreased to $14.1 million, or 20.7%, for the nine months ending March 31, 1998 from $17.8 million for the same period in 1997. This decrease was due to the SAIF assessment of $3.2 million in the prior nine month period. Income taxes. Income tax expense was $886,000 for the quarter versus $850,000 for the same quarter of 1997, while the nine month numbers were $2.8 million for fiscal 1998 versus $642,000 for fiscal 1997. The resulting effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were 42.5% and 42.6% and the nine month ratios were 42.3% and 44.3% respectively. Loan Origination Volumes.

The Company's primary source of funds are deposits, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments and 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 Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco of 30% of total assets, which, on March 31, 1998 permitted additional advances up to $129.7 million. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source 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 March 31, 1998, the Savings Bank originated a total of $169.3 million in loans and $514.7 million for fiscal year to date. This activity was funded primarily by loan sales, retail deposits and FHLB advances. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998 loans sales aggregated $105.1 million and loan principal repayments totaled $34.6 million along with $305.6 million in loan sales and $90.5 million in repayments in the fiscal period to date. FHLB advances increased by $92.8 million for the fiscal period to date. By regulation, the Savings Bank must maintain liquidity of 4% of deposits and short-term borrowings. Liquidity is measured by cash and readily marketable securities which are not committed, pledged, or required to liquidate specific liabilities. The Savings Bank's average liquidity ratios for March 31, 1998 and 1997 were 10.41% and 12.09%, respectively. The Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital 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 judgements by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. The Savings Bank's actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 1998 are as follows: Amount Percent Tangible capital $63,331 8.44% Requirement 11,259 1.50% ------- ---- Excess over requirement $52,072 6.94% Core capital $63,331 8.44% Requirement 22,518 3.00% ------- ---- Excess over requirement $40,813 5.44% Risk based capital $69,266 14.59% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 37,978 8.00% ------- ----- Excess over requirement $31,288 6.59% Management believes that under current regulations, the Company will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Year 2000 issues. In preparation for information system issues in the Year 2000, the Company has completed an assessment of its internal Year 2000 exposure. To bring the Company's systems into compliance, the Company will be replacing its primary software operating systems. Initial estimates for the conversion total $1.8 million for software and equipment and $100,000 for non-recurring consulting and project management.
