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 (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 eight 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 four offices within the Savings
Bank's retail branch facilities and five free-standing loan production offices,
two of which include wholesale loan departments.

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 portfolio 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 first quarter of
fiscal 1997. 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.

SUMMARY
The Company reported net income of $1.47 million, or $0.32 per share, for the
first quarter of fiscal 1998. This compares to a net operating loss of ($1.12)
million, or ($0.24) per share, for the same period last year. The prior period
loss resulted from the one-time SAIF recapitalization assessment. Excluding this
assessment, fiscal 1997 first quarter income would have been $764,000, or $0.16
per share.

Return on assets for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was 0.93% as compared
to (0.76%) for the same period last year. Return on equity for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 was 6.90% as compared to (5.18%) for the same period last
year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased by $25.1 million, or 4.1%, from $615.5 million at June
30, 1997 to $640.6 million at September 30, 1997. Total deposits funded $14.3
million of this increase while Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances provided
the remaining financing. The Company plans to continue utilizing borrowings from
FHLB to fund its loan growth objectives. Loans held for investment increased by
$25.7 million, or 5.0%, during the first quarter as the Company continued to
portfolio intermediate-term adjustable rate loans from its current mortgage
production. The Company anticipates that its portfolio loans will continue to
grow through its retail and wholesale operations, loan purchases and
correspondent lending.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $887,000 during the first quarter
of fiscal 1198 as a result of growth in earning assets. Average earning assets
increased by $40.3 million, or 7.1%, during the quarter. The yield on loans
narrowed with a general decline in interest rates. The yields on investments
increased as the duration of the portfolio was lengthened by the purchase of
longer-term securities.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $784,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 on a combination of greater volume and higher interest
rates. The Company began in the fall of 1996 to pursue a more aggressive retail
deposit pricing strategy. The objective of this strategy was to attract new
deposit relationships to the Savins Bank which, in turn, would lead to
developing a greater non-interest bearing deposit base and generate additional
non-interest income through the use of additional services. The growth in
non-interest bearing deposits has been slow; however, the Company believes that
increasing non-interest bearing sources of deposits is critical to its long-term
objectives.

The following tables provide additional comparative data on the Company's
average balances and rate/volume changes:

and rate/volume variances, nonaccrual loans were included in the weighted
average balance outstanding.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the
Company's provision for loan losses was $300,000 as compared to $254,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. At September 30, 1997, loan loss reserves as a
percentage of gross loans receivable was 1.02%, compared to 1.13% at September
30, 1996. 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 8 basis points of average loans
during the quarter, down from 40 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.

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, 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.

NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased by $307,000, or 15.4%, from
$2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $2.3 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. This increase was primarily due an increase in other
loan fees and service charges. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
loans sold aggregated $99.5 million as compared to $106.8 million for the
similar period last year. The overwhelming majority of sold loans continue to be
on a servicing released basis.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES. Non-interest expenses decreased by $4.1 million during
the quarter to $4.4 million from $8.5 million in the same period last year. As
previously discussed, the one-time special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF
increased deposit insurance premiums by $3.2 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the quarter versus a
benefit of $767,000 for the same quarter of 1996. The resulting effective tax
rates for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were 41.9% and (40.7%).

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. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the
Savings Bank originated a total of $159.8 million in loans. This activity was
funded primarily by loan sales, retail deposits and FHLB advances. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 loans sales aggregated $99.5 million and loan
principal repayments totaled $25.7 million. FHLB advances increased by $12
million.

By regulation, the Savings Bank must maintain liquidity of 5% 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 ratio for September 30, 1997
and 1996 was 6.96% and 7.72%, 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 September 30, 1997 are as follows:

                                          Amount              Percent
                                          -------            --------
   Tangible Capital                       $59,743               9.59%

                                        ---------            -------
   Excess over requirement                $50,401               8.09%
                                          =======            =======


   Core Capital                           $59,743               9.59%
   Requirement                             18,684               3.00
                                         --------              -----
   Excess over requirement                $41,059               6.59%
                                          =======             ======


   Risk Based Capital                     $94,432              15.08%
   Requirement to Be "Well Capitalized"    34,752               8.00
                                          -------             ------
   Excess over requirement                $59,860               7.08%
                                          =======             =======

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 the information system issues in Year 2000, management has
recently engaged a consulting firm to assess the Company's Year 2000 compliance
and recommend corrective actions. The total cost of making the Company's
information systems Year 2000 compliant cannot be estimated at this time.
Management believes, at minimum, the Company will need to make a capital
investment in additional software and equipment to address Year 2000 concerns.
