SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 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 period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The balance sheet data at June 30, 1998 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 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, 1998 (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 Quarter ended September 30, ----------------------------- 1998 1997 Numerator: ----------------------------- Net income numerator for basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share- income available to common stockholders $ 1,582,991 $ 1,466,997 =========== =========== Denominator: Denominator for basic earnings per share: Weighted-average shares 4,195,643 4,522,520 Effect of dilutive securities: Employee stock benefit plans 79,965 71,674 ----------- ----------- Denominator for diluted earnings per share: Adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions 4,275,608 4,594,194 =========== =========== Basic earnings per share $ 0.38 $ 0.32 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.37 $ 0.32 5 Note 3: SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" This statement requires public companies to report certain information about operating segments as well as certain information about products, services and major customers in their financial statements. The Company will adopt this statement in the year ended June 30, 1999. Management does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 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 the business of attracting customer deposits to originate loans secured primarily by mortgages on residential real estate. Business operations also include 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 Mortgage Banking 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 consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Non-interest income is comprised of income from mortgage banking activities, gains 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 the 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. 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 origination. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998 Total assets increased by $24.4 million, or 3.0% to $840.6 million at September 30, 1998 from $816.2 million at June 30, 1998. This increase was mainly the result of a $12.0 million, or 1.9% increase in loans held for investment to $632.1 million at September 1998 from $620.1 million at June 30, 1998 and a $12.8 million, or 19.0% increase in loans held for sale to $80.0 million at September 30, 1998 from $67.2 million 6 at June 30, 1998. This growth was funded primarily by an increase in deposits, which rose $18.3 million, or 3.1% from $583.0 million at June 30, 1998 as a result of certificate of deposits and checking account promotions held in the first quarter. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances funded the remaining increase. Investment securities held to maturity increased by $2.1 million and Overnight deposits increased by $1.5 million whereas cash balances were reduced by $3.9 million as the result of the Company's continued improvements in cash management. The total equity decreased by $2.9 million which was mainly due to the combined effects of $1.5 million in net income for the first quarter and the repurchase of 5% of the Company's stock in early August 1998 at a cost of $4.7 million. Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 The Company's net income for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were $1.58 million and $1.47 million, respectively. An increase of $0.5 million on net interest income plus an increase of $0.5 million in gain on sale of loans was offset by an increase in overhead expenses. This increase was attributable mainly to expenses recorded in relation to the Company's stock-based compensation programs and higher mortgage production related expenses. The Company's net interest margin decreased to 2.78% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 3.27% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 due to lower loan yield and 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 $0.5 million for the first quarter, or 10.9% due to the increase in volume of interest earning assets. Interest Income. Interest income increased by $2.8 million, or 24.6%, to $14.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from $11.4 million for the same quarter last year. This was the combined result of a lower average yield on interest earning assets, from 7.53% to 7.19%, and a higher average interest-earning-asset base, from $606.5 million to $791.5 million. Loan interest income increased by $2.1 million, or 19.8% to $12.9 million in the quarter ended September 1998 as compared to $10.8 million for the same period last year. The majority of this increase was attributable to an increase in the level of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. The interest income derived from investment securities increased by $0.7 million, or 161.6% to $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from $0.5 million for the same quarter last year. This was a result of a higher level of investment securities from $75.5 million at September 30, 1997 to $78.1 million at September 30, 1998. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $8.7 million as compared to $6.5 million for the same period last year, an increase of $2.2 million or 35.0%. This increase was attributable to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities, particularly FHLB advances and deposits. Average deposits increased by $76.9 million, or 14.9%, during the quarter compared to the same period in the prior year; and the rate paid on deposits decreased to 4.64% during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from 4.82% during the same quarter in 1997. FHLB advances averaged $125.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to $13.7 million for the 1997 quarter. The volume increase on FHLB advances resulted in a $ 1.6 million or 802.0% increase in related interest expense for the quarter compared to the prior year. The average rate paid on these advances decreased to 5.66% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from 5.74% in the same quarter in 1997, in accordance with decreasing investment yield in the market. 7 Average balance sheets (dollars in thousands) Quarter Ended Quarter Ended 9/30/98 9/30/97 -------------------------- ------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ Balance Interest Cost Balance Interest Cost ------- -------- ---- ------- -------- ---- Interest-earning assets: Loans receivable, net (1) $703,908 $12,880 7.32% $560,544 $10,755 7.67% Investment securities 76,816 1,211 6.31% 31,347 463 5.91% FHLB stock 6,702 87 5.19% 4,934 74 6.00% Interest-earning deposits 4,119 50 4.86% 9,627 128 5.32% -------- ------- ---- -------- ------- ---- Total interest-earning assets 791,545 14,228 7.19% 606,452 11,420 7.53% Non-interest earning assets 33,608 25,756 -------- -------- Total assets $825,153 $632,208 ======== ======== Interest-bearing liabilities: Savings accounts $ 78,787 563 2.84% $ 45,579 311 2.71% Demand and NOW accounts 120,564 980 3.22% 114,478 914 3.17% Certificate accounts 394,028 5,401 5.44% 356,464 5,044 5.61% -------- ------- ---- -------- ------- ---- Total deposits 593,379 6,944 4.64% 516,521 6,269 4.82% FHLB advances 125,194 1,786 5.66% 13,687 198 5.74% Other borrowings 196 3 6.07% 0 0 0.00% Total Interest-bearing -------- ------- ---- -------- ------- ---- liabilities 718,769 8,733 4.82% 530,208 6,467 4.84% Non-interest-bearing liabilities 21,635 16,911 -------- -------- Total liabilities 740,404 547,119 Retained earnings 84,749 85,089 -------- -------- Total liabilities and retained earnings $825,153 $632,208 ======== ------- ======== ------- Net interest income $ 5,495 $ 4,953 ======= ======= Interest rate spread (2) 2.37% 2.69% Net interest margin (3) 2.78% 3.27% Ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest- bearing liabilities 110.13% 114.38% Return on Assets 0.77% 0.93% Return on Equity 7.47% 6.90% (1) Includes loans available for sale (2) Represents the difference between weighted average yield on all interest- earning assets and weighted average rate on all interest-bearing liabilities (3) Represents net interest income before provision for loan losses as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. 8 Rate/Volume Variance (dollars in thousands) Quarter Ended September 30,1998 compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1997 Increase (Decrease) Due to - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate/ Rate Volume Volume Net ------- -------- ------- -------- Interest income Loans receivable (1) $ (498) $ 2,750 $ (127) $ 2,125 Investment securities 32 672 46 750 FHLB stock (11) 26 (4) 11 Interest-bearing deposits (11) (73) 6 (78) ------- -------- ------- -------- Total net change in income on interest-earning assets (488) 3,375 (79) 2,808 Interest-bearing liabilities: Savings accounts 15 226 11 252 Demand and NOW accounts 17 48 1 66 Certificate accounts (158) 532 (17) 357 FHLB advances (3) 1,613 (22) 1,588 Other borrowings 0 0 3 3 ------- -------- ------- -------- Total net change in expense on interest-bearing liabilities (129) 2,419 (24) 2,266 ------- -------- ------- -------- Net change in net interest income $ (359) $ 956 $ (55) $ 542 ======= ======== ======= ======== (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. The provision for loan losses was $225,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $300,000 for the same period last year. At September 30, 1998, loan loss reserves as a percentage of net loans receivable were 1.01% as compared to 1.04% at September 30, 1997. 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 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. Provision 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. 9 PAGE The following tables are 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, 1998 September 30, 1997 ------------------ ------------------ Allowance at beginning of period $ 6,186 $ 5,465 Provision for loan losses 225 300 Recoveries: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family 17 11 Multifamily 0 39 Commercial 0 0 Construction 0 0 Consumer loans 31 14 Commercial business lending 0 0 Other loans 0 0 --------- --------- Total recoveries 48 64 Charge-offs: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family (81) (25) Multifamily 0 (2) Commercial 0 (102) Construction 0 0 Consumer loans (25) (46) Commercial business lending 0 0 Other loans 0 0 --------- --------- Total charge-offs (106) (175) --------- --------- Net charge-offs (58) (111) --------- --------- Balance at end of period $ 6,353 $ 5,654 ========= ========= Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loan receivable 1.00% 1.02% Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding during the period -0.03% -0.08% Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of Non-performing loans at the end of the period 328.66% 158.33% 10 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. 11 Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $0.5 million or 20.7% to $2.8 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from $2.3 million during the same period last year. The major contributor to this increase was the gain on sale of loans which increased by $0.5 million or 46.1% to $1.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This was due to an increase of $46.5 million in the aggregate amount of loans sold during the period as compared to that of the same period in the prior year. Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased by $0.9 million during the quarter to $5.3 million from $4.4 million in the same period last year. This increase was attributable mainly to expenses recorded in relation to the Company's stock-based compensation programs and higher production related expenses. Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.16 million for the quarter versus $1.06 million for the same quarter last year. The resulting effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was 42.3% compared to 41.9% for the same period last year. Loan Origination Volumes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary source of funds are 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 Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco of 30% of total assets, which, on September 30, 1998 permitted additional advances up to $104.9 million. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of 13 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, 1998, the Savings Bank originated a total of $223.2 million. This activity was funded primarily by loan sales, loan principal payments, retail deposits and FHLB advances. For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, loan sales aggregated $146.0 million and loan principal payments totaled $46.1 million. 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 the first quarter 1999 and 1998 were 12.39% and 6.37%, 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 judgements 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, 1998 are as follows: Amount Percent -------- ------- Tangible capital $ 66,278 7.98% Requirement 12,453 1.50% -------- ---- Excess over requirement $ 53,825 6.48% ======== ==== Core capital $ 66,278 7.98% Requirement 24,906 3.00% -------- ---- Excess over requirement $ 41,372 4.98% ======== ==== Risk based capital $ 72,631 13.73% Requirement to be "Well Capitalized" 42,326 8.00% -------- ---- Excess over requirement $ 30,305 5.73% ======== ==== Management believes that under current regulations, the Company will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Year 2000 issues. 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 is not corrected, some, if not all, systems used by the Company might be at risk of not being able to function properly. To prevent this from happening during the turn of the century and beyond, the Company has undertaken a major project to ensure that its internal operating systems, as well as those of its customers and suppliers, will be fully capable of processing transactions in the Year 2000 and beyond. Testing and implementation is planned to be completed during the first half of 1999. Project - ------- The Company formed a Year 2000 Committee in July 1997 which consists of the Chief Information Officer and senior management staff from all levels. The committee reports the progress of the Year 2000 project 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 IT consultant to strengthen the Year 2000 project team. 14 The initial phase of the project was to assess and identify all internal business processes requiring modification and to develop comprehensive renovation plans as needed. This phase was completed in late 1997. The second phase, expected to be accomplished by the end of 1998, will be to execute those renovation plans and begin testing systems by simulating Year 2000 data conditions. The third phase is Validation followed by Implementation as the fourth/final phase. Validation and implementation are planned to be completed during the first half of 1999. The contingency plan is also being revised and is expected to be completed by the end of November 1998. The Company is confident that the overall project will be completed as planned. Costs - ----- The estimated cost of the project is $3.5 million, which includes 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. Implementation of the new loan and deposit system which is already year 2000 compliant will be able to enhance the overall banking system. A total of $1.5 million or 42.9% of the total costs has been spent for the project as of September 30, 1998. The replacement equipment and software will be 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 result in an interruption of normal business activities/operations, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations. As a participant in domestic payment systems, the Company's Year 2000 preparedness is 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 is expected to significantly reduce the risk inherent in the year 2000 problem.
