Note 4: SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
        Activities"

This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. This Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133
was amended by SFAS No. 137 to extend the implementation date for one year.
SFAS No. 133 will become effective for fiscal quarters beginning after June

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

General
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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The Savings
Bank conducts business from its main office in Riverside, California and nine
branch offices. Through the operations of its mortgage banking division,
Profed Mortgage ("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 processing expenses and other operating costs. Non-
interest expenses related to Profed 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 Profed are not reduced
commensurate with the decrease in loan originations.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999

Total assets increased by $113.8 million, or 11.9 percent, to $1.1 billion at
September 30, 1999 from $957.4 million at June 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily the result of an increase of $96.2 million, or 14 percent, in total
loans receivable (including loans held for sale) to $803.2 million at
September 30, 1999 from $707.0 million at June 30, 1999; and an increase of
$17.7 million, or 9 percent, in total investment securities to $204.9 million
at September 30, 1999 from $187.2 million at June 30, 1999. Funding for this
growth was accomplished through an increase of $53.1 million in deposits and
an increase of $66.9 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Total stockholders' equity decreased by $2.3 million during this period, which
was mainly the result of the combined effects of $1.6 million in net income
for the first quarter and the repurchase of 203,500 shares of the Company's
common stock that totaled $4.1 million. Through September 30, 1999, the
Company completed 46 percent of a stock repurchase program announced in July
1999 covering 439,000 shares, or 10 percent of the outstanding shares.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended September 30, 1999 and
1998

Net interest income increased by 29 percent to $7.1 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 from $5.5 million during the comparable period of
1998. The increase in net interest income reflects growth in average earning
assets and a widening of the Bank's net interest margin. Average earning
assets increased by $171.3 million, or 22 percent, during the current quarter
and the net interest margin improved to 2.95 percent from 2.78 percent during
the same period of 1998.

Improvement in net interest income was largely offset by a decrease in
non-interest income and higher operating expenses.  Non-interest income fell
$835,000 to $2.2 million during the current quarter from $3.1 million during
the same period of 1998. This decrease was primarily the result of lower gains
from the sale of loans.  Loans sold during the quarter totaled $86.0 million,
a 41 percent decrease from $146.0 million sold during the same period of 1998.

Operating expenses increased by $938,000 during the quarter ended September ,
1999 to $6.5 million from $5.6 million in the same period of 1998. This
increase was primarily attributable to higher

                                       8
<PAGE>

compensation and equipment expenses. As a result of these higher operating
expenses, the Company's efficiency ratio rose to 70 percent in the current
quarter from 67 percent in the same period of 1998.

The Company's return on average assets for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 and 1998 was 0.64 percent and 0.77 percent, respectively. Return on
average equity for each of the quarters was 7.36 percent and 7.47 percent,
respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was $0.41,
an increase of 11 percent from  $0.37 in the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
The increase in the net earnings per share was mainly attributable to the
Company's stock repurchase programs during fiscal years 1999 and 2000.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $2.9 million, or 21 percent, to
$17.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $14.2 million
during the same quarter last year. This was the result of an increased in
average interest earning assets from $791.5 million to $962.8 million.

Loan interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 8 percent, to $14.0 million
in the quarter ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $12.9 million for the
same period last year. This increase was attributable to a higher level of
average loans, including those held for sale, from $703.9 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 to $751.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000,
which was partially offset by a 11 basis-point reduction of the loan yield.

The interest income from investment securities, including FHLB stock,
increased by $1.9 million, or 148 percent to $3.2 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 from $1.3 million for the same quarter last year.
This was mainly a result of an increase in the amount of average investment
securities from $76.8 million during the first quarter 1999 to $199.0 million
in the same quarter of fiscal 2000.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
was $10.1 million as compared to $8.7 million for the same period last year,
an increase of $1.4 million, or 16 percent. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in average FHLB advances and deposits. Average
deposits increased by $63.9 million, or 11 percent, during the quarter as
compared to the same period in the prior year; and the average rate paid on
deposits decreased to 4.21 percent during the quarter ended September 30, 1999
from 4.64 percent during the same quarter last year. FHLB advances averaged
$238.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to $125.2
million for the same quarter last year. The average rate paid on FHLB advances
decreased to 5.18 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from 5.66
percent in the same quarter last year.

Provision for Loan Losses.  There were no additional provisions for loan
losses during the first quarter ended September 30, 1999 as compared to
$225,000 during the same period last year. The allowance for loan losses at
September 30, 1999 was $6.7 million as compared to $6.4 million at the same
period last year. The allowance as a percent of gross loans held for
investment at September 30, 1999 were 0.87 percent as compared to 1.00 percent
at September 30, 1998. Net recoveries were $19,000 during the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 as compared to net charge offs of $58,000 during the same period
of the prior 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, 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 decreased by $835,000, or 27 percent,
to $2.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $3.1 million
during the same period last year. The decrease in non-interest income was
mainly attributable to a $701,000 decrease in gains of the sale of loans and a
$232,000 decrease in real estate owned ("REO") net income. Although the total
loan production during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 was similar to last
year ($226.2 million compared to $223.2 million, respectively), the loans
originated for sale were only $86.0 million during the first quarter as
compared to $146.0 million during the same period of the prior year. The
decrease in REO income was attributable to fewer gains from the sale of REO
properties and less rental income subsequent to the sale of leasehold property
toward the end of fiscal 1999.

Non-interest Expenses.  Non-interest expenses increased by $938,000 during the
quarter ended September 30, 1999 to $6.5 million from $5.6 million in the same
period of 1998.  This increase was primarily attributable to higher
compensation and equipment expenses.  Compensation expense increased as a
result of staffing levels during the Bank's recent data system conversion and
expansion within its mortgage banking operations.

Income taxes.  Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998. The effective tax rate for both quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 was 42 percent.

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 FHLB of San
Francisco of 40 percent of total assets, which, on September 30, 1999
permitted additional advances of $127.9 million, in addition to having
unsecured lines with its correspondent bank. 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, 1999, the
Savings Bank originated $226.2 million of mortgage loans as compared to $223.2
million during the same period last year. This activity was funded primarily
by loan sales, loan principal payments, deposits and FHLB advances. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, loan sales aggregated $86.0 million and loan
principal payments totaled $45.1 million.

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 2000 and 1999 were 25 percent and 12
percent, 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 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, 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. The Company has completed testing on all internal
mission critical components and the project is on schedule according to the
Year 2000 milestones established by Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council ("FFIEC").

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 information technology
consultant to strengthen the Year 2000 project team.

The Company 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 monitor the overall systems and critical
vendors until the turn of the century and beyond.

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. The total cost of the project has been within budget with a total of
$3.4 million, or 96 percent, of the total cost spent as of September 30, 1999.
The replacement equipment and software has been 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 or
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.

                           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. These forward looking statements relate to, among other things,
expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates,
projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, and
statements regarding the Company's mission and vision. These forward-looking
statements are based upon current management expectations, and may therefore
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results, performance, or
achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied
by forward looking statements due to a wide range of factors including, but
not limited to, non-bank financial services providers, regulatory changes,
Year 2000 issues and other risks detailed in the Company's reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.
