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
6
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 originations.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1998
Total assets increased by $68.0 million, or 8.3%, to $884.2 million at March
31, 1999 from $816.2 million at June 30, 1998. This increase was mainly the
result of a $4.1 million, or 0.6%, increase in loans, including those held for
sale, to $691.5 million at March 31, 1999 from $687.4 million at June 30, 1998
and an $64.9 million, or 85.8%, increase in investment securities to $140.5
million at March 31, 1999 from $75.6 million at June 30, 1998. This growth was
funded primarily by an increase in deposits, which rose $47.3 million, or
8.1%, to $630.3 million at March 31, 1999 from $583.0 million at June 30,
1998. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances provided the remaining funding
sources. FHLB advances increased by $15.8 million, or 12.0%, to $147.9 million
at March 31, 1999 from $132.1 million at June 30, 1998.
The total stockholders' equity decreased by $2.6 million which was mainly due
to the combined effects of $5.2 million in net income for the first nine
months and the repurchase of 10% of the Company's common stock. The Company
completed a 5% repurchase program in August 1998 covering 228,711 shares for a
total of $4.7 million and another 5% repurchase program in March 1999
covering 232,700 shares for a total of $4.0 million.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Nine Months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998
The Company's net income for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$1.96 million and $1.20 million, respectively. An increase of $1.21 million on
net interest income plus an increase of $537,000 in gain on sale of loans was
recorded in the third quarter 1999, while an increase of $803,000 in overhead
expenses was incurred. Increased overhead was attributable mainly to higher
mortgage production expenses, non-recurring costs associated with a data
processing conversion completed in third quarter of fiscal 1999 and expenses
related to the Company's Year 2000 remediation efforts. For the nine months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company recorded net earnings of $5.15
million and $3.82 million, respectively.
The Company's net interest margin increased to 3.15% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to 3.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The
increase of the interest margin in the third quarter resulted from the
reduction in the cost of deposits and borrowings (down by 50 basis points) was
greater than the reduction on loan and investment yields (down by only 27
basis points). For the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the net interest
margin, however, decreased to 2.96% as compared to 3.14% for the same period
last year.
The Company's return on assets for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
was 0.90% and 0.66%, respectively; while for the nine months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, the return on assets was 0.81% and 0.75%, respectively. Return
on equity for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was 9.24% and 5.78%,
respectively; while for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the
return on equity was 8.14% and 6.05%, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was $0.48, an
increase of 77.8% from $0.27 recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 1998. For
the nine months ended March 31, 1999 the Company recorded diluted earnings per
share of $1.23, an increase of 44.7% from $0.85 recorded during the same
period of the prior fiscal year.
7
Interest Income. Interest income increased by $1.9 million, or 14.4%, to $14.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $13.0 million during the
same quarter last year. This was the result of an increased average
interest-earning-asset base which rose from $703.3 million to $835.0 million.
Loan interest income increased by $1.2 million, or 9.7%, to $13.1 million in
the quarter ended March 1999 as compared to $11.9 million for the same period
last year. This increase was attributable to a higher level of average loans,
including those held for sale, from $633.9 million in the third quarter 1998
to $716.0 million in the same quarter 1999, and despite a 22 basis-point
reduction of the loan yield.
The interest income from investment securities, including FHLB stock,
increased by $714,000, or 67.8% to $1.8 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 from $1.1 million for the same quarter last year. This was a result
of an increase in the amount of average investment securities from $69.3
million during the third quarter 1998 to $119.0 million in the same quarter of
fiscal 1999.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, interest income rose by $7.2
million, or 19.7%, to $43.9 million from $36.6 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998. Average loans receivable, including those held for sale,
increased to $715.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to $595.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, while the
yield declined to 7.33% from 7.63%, respectively. The average balance of
investment securities, including FHLB stock, increased to $94.1 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $51.0 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998, while the yield declined to 6.08% from 6.19%. The
yield on overnight deposits also declined to 4.71% during the nine-month
period in fiscal 1999 from 5.20% in the same period in fiscal 1998.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was
$8.3 million as compared to $7.6 million for the same period last year, an
increase of $667,000 or 8.7%. This increase was attributable to increases in
average FHLB advances and deposits. Average deposits increased by $88.4
million, or 16.5%, during the quarter as compared to the same period in the
prior year; and the average rate paid on deposits decreased to 4.32% during
the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 4.80% during the same quarter last year.
FHLB advances averaged $131.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1999
compared to $88.5 million for the same quarter last year. In accordance with
decreasing interest rates in the market, the average rate paid on FHLB
advances decreased to 5.01% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 5.80% in
the same quarter last year.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, interest expenses rose by $4.5
million, or 21.0%, to $25.7 million from $21.2 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998. Average deposits increased by $83.7 million, or 15.87%,
to $610.9 million during the nine months of fiscal 1999 from $527.2 million
during the same period of fiscal 1998, while the average cost of the deposits
decreased to 4.48% from 4.82% in the same period of fiscal 1998. Average FHLB
advances during the nine-month period in fiscal 1999 also increased by $79.4
million, or 159.0%, to $129.4 million from $50.0 million during the same
period in fiscal 1998. The cost of FHLB advances decreased to 5.33% from
5.78%, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $75,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $300,000 for the same period last
year. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, the provision for loan losses
was $450,000 as compared to $1,050,000 for the same period last year. The
decrease in both the quarter and nine month provisions reflects general
improvement in the asset quality of the loan portfolio and relative strength
in the economic condition of the Company's primary lending area. As of March
31, 1999, loan loss reserves as a percent of gross loans receivable were 0.96%
as compared to 1.02% as of March 31, 1998. Net charge-offs as a percentage of
average loans outstanding fell 1 basis point to 4 basis points during the
nine-month period in 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 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
12
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.

The Company addresses loans individually and identifies impairment when the
accrual of interest has been discontinued, loans have been restructured or
Management has serious doubts about the future collectibility of principal and
interest, even though the loans are currently performing. 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.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $675,000, or 33.6%, to
$2.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $2.0 million during
the same period last year. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, the
non-interest income rose by $2.3 million, or 36.8%, to $8.7 million from $6.4
million during the same period last year.
The major contributor to the increase of non-interest income was the gain on
sale of loans which increased by $537,000, or 56.1%, to $1.5 million during
the quarter ended March 31, 1999. For the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
the gain on sale of loans increased by $2.0 million, or 66.1%, to $5.1 million
from $3.1 million from the same period last year. The increase in the gain on
sale of loans was the result of the sale of loans totaling $193.9 million
during the third quarter 1999 and $523.8 million during the nine-month period
in fiscal 1999 as compared to $105.1 million during the third quarter 1998 and
$305.6 million during the nine-month period in fiscal 1998.
Loan servicing and other fees decreased by $12,000 during the third quarter to
$648,000 from $660,000 in the same period last year. For the nine-month
period, the loan servicing and other fees decreased by $152,000 to $2.1
million from $2.3 million during the same period last year. This decrease was
due mainly to the decrease in the volume of loans serviced for others from
$465.9 million at the end of March 31, 1998 to $353.1 million at the end of
March 31, 1999 as the decline of the existing loans for is more than the new
loans added. Most newly originated loans are sold servicing released.
Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased by $803,000 during the
third quarter to $5.8 million from $5.0 million in the same period last year.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, non-interest expense increased by
$3.4 million to $17.5 million from $14.1 million during the same period last
year. The increase in the third quarter 1999 was due to non-recurring costs
associated with a data processing conversion completed in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999 and the Company's Year 2000 remediation efforts, in addition to
higher mortgage production expenses. The increase in the nine-month period in
fiscal 1999 was attributable mainly to expenses recorded in relation to the
Company's stock-based compensation programs and higher mortgage production
related expenses as well as the items recorded during the third quarter as
previously explained.
Real estate operations resulted a net gain of $291,000 during the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to a net loss of $35,000 during the same
quarter last year. The net gains in real estate operations during the third
quarter fiscal 1999 were mainly due to higher rent income from a ground lease
in Westwood, California, including $144,000 of rent overage in March 1999 and
no additional provision for losses on real estate owned. In comparison,
during the third quarter fiscal 1998, additional provisions of $208,000 for
losses on real estate owned was added. For the nine months ended March 31,
1999, the net gains on real estate owned were $653,000 as compared to $311,000
during the same period of fiscal 1998.
Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the third quarter
versus $0.9 million for the same quarter last year. The resulting effective
tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was 42.2% compared to 42.5% for
the same period last year. For the nine-month period, income tax expense was
$3.8 million as compared to $2.8 million during the same period last year; and
the effective tax rate for both periods was 42.3%.

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 Federal Home Loan
Bank of San Francisco of 30% of total assets, which, on March 31, 1999
permitted additional advances up to $111.0 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 March 31, 1999, the
Savings Bank originated a total of $207.0 million and $694.3 million for
fiscal year to date. This activity was funded primarily by loan sales, loan
principal payments, deposits and FHLB advances. For the quarter ended March
31, 1999, loan sales aggregated $193.9 million and loan principal payments
totaled $55.1 million; and for the fiscal period to date, loan sales
aggregated $523.8 million and loan principal payments totaled $170.6 million.
By regulation, the Savings Bank must maintain a minimum liquidity equal to 4%
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 third quarter 1999 and 1998 were 16.91% and 10.41%,
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 March 31, 1999 are as
follows (dollars in thousands):

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
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 by June 30, 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.
The Company has completed the replacement of its core processing systems in
March 1999 and has completed Year 2000 testing subsequent to its installation.
The Company has also reviewed its critical non-information technology systems
to assess the risk of Year 2000 failure. Critical systems that pose risk of
Year 2000 failure have detailed contingency plans, which were developed to
ensure uninterrupted services.
The Company, as part of its Year 2000 remediation plan, continues to monitor
the progress of critical third party vendors as they implement corrective
actions to ensure an uninterrupted flow of goods and services. For both
systems and vendors that are classified as critical, contingency plans have
been developed which include, among other things, alternate processing
methods, steps for transitioning to manual processes, and alternate vendors or
sources of goods and services.
The Company has 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 continues to have its Year 2000 progress monitored by
the Office of Thrift Supervision.
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 $3.1 million or 90.0% of the total costs has been spent for
the project as of March 31, 1999. 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.

c) Ground lease buyout:

contract on one of PROV's real estate holdings.
On April 27, 1999, the Company confirmed that one of the ground lease tenants
has elected to exercise a purchase option under its lease contract. The fair
market value of this property is $8.1 million as determined by the purchase
option valuation process. The Company currently carries the property on its
books for $1.9 million. After transaction costs and a provision for income
taxes, the Company expects to record a net gain of $3.6 million, or $0.87 per
diluted share. The transaction is expected to close by June 30, 1999.
Once this transaction is complete, the Company will no longer receive annual
rents from the ground lease. The Company receives approximately $600,000 in
pre-tax operating income from this lease per year. When this income ceases,
the Company estimates that dilutive earnings per share will be reduced by
approximately $0.05 per year in future periods.
