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
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998
Total assets increased by $54.0 million, or 6.6%, to $870.2 million at
December 31, 1998 from $816.2 million at June 30, 1998. This increase was
mainly the result of a $43.7 million, or 6.4%, increase in loans, including
those held for sale, to $731.1 million at December 1998 from $687.4 million at
June 30, 1998 and an $14.3 million, or 18.9%, increase in investment
securities to $89.9 million at December 31, 1998 from $75.6 million at June
30, 1998. This growth was funded primarily by an increase in deposits, which
rose $39.3 million, or 6.7%, to $622.3 million at December 31, 1998 from
$583.0 million at June 30, 1998 as a continued result of certificate of
deposits and checking account promotions held in the first quarter. Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances provided the remaining funding sources.
The total equity decreased by $1.1 million which was mainly due to the
combined effects of $3.19 million in net income for the first six months 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 and Six Months ended December
31, 1998 and 1997
The Company's net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was
$1.61 million and $1.15 million, respectively; while for the six months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company recorded net earnings of $3.19 million
and $2.62 million, respectively. An increase of $1.10 million on net interest
income plus an increase of $1.0 million in gain on sale of loans was recorded
in the second quarter 1999, while an increase of $1.6 million in overhead
expenses was incurred. Increase overhead was attributable mainly to higher
mortgage production expenses, non-recurring costs associated with data
processing conversion scheduled for the third quarter of fiscal 1999
andexpenses related to the Company's Year 2000 remediation efforts.
The Company's net interest margin decreased to 2.95% for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to 3.09% for the quarter ended December 31,
1997. For the six months ended December 31, 1998 the net interest margin also
decrease to 2.87% as compared to 3.18% for the six months ended December 31,
1997. The decrease of interest margin was due to lower loan yields and general
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.
The Company's return on assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 was 0.75% and 0.68%, respectively; while for the six months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the return on assets was 0.76% and 0.80%,
respectively. Return on equity for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and
1997 was 7.61% and 5.47%, respectively; while for the six months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the return on equity was 7.51% and 6.19%,
respectively.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 was $0.39,
an increase of 50.0% from $0.26 recorded in the quarter ended December 31,
1997. For the six months ended December 31, 1998 the Company managed to record
diluted earnings per share of $0.76, an increase of 31.0% from $0.58 recorded
in the first six-month period ended December 31, 1997.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 20.9%, to $14.8
million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 from $12.2 million during the
same quarter last year. This was the result of an increased average
interest-earning-asset base which rose from $652.1 million to $820.9 million.
Loan interest income increased by $2.0 million, or 17.3%, to $13.3 million in
the quarter ended December 1998 as compared to $11.3 million for the same
period last year. This increase was attributable to higher level of average
loans, including those held for sale, from $598.7 million in the second
quarter 1998 to $723.8 million in the same quarter 1999.
The interest income from investment securities, including FHLB stocks,
increased by $0.5 million, or 55.5% to $1.3 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 from $0.8 million for the same quarter last year. This was a
result of an increase in the amount of average investment securities from
$51.5 million during the second quarter 1998 to $83.3 million in the same
quarter of fiscal 1999.
For the six months ended December 31, 1998, interest income rose by $5.4
million, or 22.7%, to $29.0 million from $23.6 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1997. Average loans receivable, including those held for
sale, increased to $713.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998
as compared to $579.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998,
while the yield declined to 7.34% from 7.63%, respectively. The average
balance of investment securities, including FHLB stock, increased to $83.4
million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $43.9
million for the six months ended December 31, 1997, while the yield slightly
declined to 6.16% from 6.17%. The yield on overnight deposits was also
declined to 4.79% during the first six-month period in fiscal 1999 from 5.46%
during the same period in fiscal 1998.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1998
was $8.7 million as compared to $7.2 million for the same period last year, an
increase of $1.5 million or 21.4%. This increase was attributable to
increases in average FHLB advances and deposits. Average deposits increased by
$83.8 million, or 15.8%, during the quarter as compared to the same period in
the prior year; and the average rate paid on deposits decreased to 4.48%
during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 from 4.83% during the same quarter
last year. FHLB advances averaged $131.4 million during the quarter ended
December 31, 1998 compared to $48.5 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 5.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 1998
from 5.78% in the same quarter last year.
For the six months ended December 31, 1998, interest expenses rose by $3.8
million, or 27.9%, to $17.4 million from $13.6 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1997. Average deposits increased by $81.5 million, or
15.16%, to $603.7 million during the first half of fiscal 1999 from $522.2
million during the same period of fiscal 1998, while the average cost of the
deposits decrease to 4.56% from 4.83% in the same period of fiscal 1998.
Average FHLB advances during the first six-month period in fiscal 1999 also
increased by $97.1 million, or 312.1%, to $128.3 million from $31.1 million
during the same period in fiscal 1998. The cost of FHLB advances decreased
to5.49% from 5.76%, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $150,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $450,000 for the same period
last year. For the six months ended December 31, 1998, the provision for loan
losses was $375,000 as compared to $750,000 for the same period last year. The
decrease in both the quarter and six month provisions reflects general
improvement in the asset quality of the loan portfolio and relative strength
in the economic condition of the Company's lending area. At December 31, 1998,
loan loss reserves as a percent of gross loans receivable were 0.98% as
compared to 1.00% at December 31, 1997. Net charge-offs as a percentage of
average loans outstanding fell 4 basis points during the first six-month
period in fiscal 1999 to 2 basis points from 6 basis points during the same
period of fiscal 1998.
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
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 increased by $1.0 million, or 46.0%,
to $3.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 from $2.2 million
during the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 1998,
the non-interest income rose by $1.5 million, or 33.2%, to $6.1 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 $1.1 million, or 95.3%, to $2.1 million
during the quarter ended December 31, 1998. For the six months ended December
31, 1998, the gain on sale of loans increased by $1.5 million, or 70.6%, to
$6.1 million from $2.1 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 $183.9
million during the second quarter 1999 and $329.8 million during the first
six-month period in fiscal 1999 as compared to $100.8 million during the
second quarter 1998 and $200.2 million during the first six-month period in
fiscal 1998.
Loan servicing and other fees decreased by $83,000 during the second quarter
to $724,000 from $807,000 in the same period last year. For the first
six-month period, the loan servicing and other fees decreased by $136,000 to
$1.47 million from $1.61 million during the same period last year. This
decrease was due mainly to the decrease in the volume of loans serviced for
others from $504.0 million at the end of December 31, 1997 to $401.0 million
at the end of December 31, 1998 as the decline of the existing loans for is
more than the new loans added. Most of new originated loans are sold with
servicing release.
Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses increased by $1.6 million during
the second quarter to $6.4 million from $4.8 million in the same period last
year. For the first six months ended December 31, 1998, non-interest expense
increased by $2.5 million to $11.7 million from $9.3 million during the same
period last year. The increase in the second quarter 1999 was due to
non-recurring costs associated with data processing conversion scheduled for
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 first six-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 second quarter as previously explained.
Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.18 million for the second quarter
versus $0.86 million for the same quarter last year. The resulting effective
tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 was 42.4% compared to 42.6%
for the same period last year. For the first six-month period, income tax
expenses was $2.34 million as compared to $1.91 million during the same period
last year; and the effective tax rate for the period was 42.3% as compared to
42.2% for the same period last year.

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 December 31, 1998
permitted additional advances up to $123.6 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 December 31, 1998, the
Savings Bank originated a total of $264.0 million and $487.2 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 December
31, 1998, loan sales aggregated $183.9 million and loan principal payments
totaled $66.2 million; and for the fiscal period to date, loan sales
aggregated $329.8 million and loan principal payments totaled $115.5 million.
FHLB advances increased by $51.5 million for the first half fiscal 1999
compared to the same period in fiscal 1998.
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 second quarter 1999 and 1998 were 13.90% and 7.66%,
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 December 31, 1998 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 is in the process of completing the validation, implementation,
and testing phases of the Year 2000 project. The Company has signed a
contract with a third party software vendor to replace its core processing
systems during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Based upon assurances and
documentation from this software vendor, the Company believes that the new
processing system is Year 2000 compliant. The Company will initiate Year 2000
testing on this system after its installation. The Company has also reviewed
its critical non-information technology systems to assess the risk of Year
2000 failure. Systems that pose risk of failure are in the process of being
replaced.
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
developed which include, among other things, alternate processing methods,
steps for transitioning to a manual process, 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 $2.6 million or 74.3% of the total costs has been spent for
the project as of December 31, 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.
