                              September 30, 2000

Note 1 : Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim 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, 2000 is derived from audited consolidated 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 accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. It is suggested that these unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2000 (File No. 000-28304) 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

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
would then share in the earnings of the entity. The following tables provide
the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

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

This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for

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

General
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Provident Financial" or the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation, was organized in January 1996 for the purpose of
becoming the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Savings
Bank") upon the Savings Bank's conversion from a federal mutual to a federal
stock savings bank ("Conversion"). The Conversion was completed on June 27,
1996. At September 30, 2000, the Company had total assets of $1.1 billion,
total deposits of $693.0 million and stockholders' equity of $90.9 million.
Provident Financial has not engaged in any significant activity other than
holding the stock of the Savings Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth
in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates
primarily to the Savings Bank and its subsidiaries.

The Savings Bank, founded in 1956, is a federally chartered savings bank
headquartered in Riverside, California. The Savings Bank is regulated by the
Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), its primary federal regulator, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the insurer of its deposits.
The Savings Bank's deposits are federally insured up to applicable limits by
FDIC (under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")). The Savings Bank
has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system since 1956.

The Savings Bank's business consists of traditional savings and loan
operations and mortgage banking activities. The savings and loan operations
primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities
surrounding the Savings Bank's full service offices and investing these funds
in commercial real estate, construction, business, consumer loans and, to a
lesser extent, in one-to-four-family, multi-family and other loans. In
addition, the Savings Bank also facilitates business checking accounts and
other business banking services, including the servicing of loans for others.
Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination and sale of mortgage
loans secured by one-to-four-family residences. The Savings Bank's revenues
are derived principally from interest on its loan and investment portfolio and
fees generated through its mortgage banking activities.

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 Unaudited Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying Selected Notes to Unaudited Interim
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and June 30, 2000

In line with the Company's interest risk mitigation strategies as mentioned on
page five of the Company's 10-K report as of June 30, 2000, total assets
decreased by $15.4 million, or 1 percent, to $1.1 billion at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to the previous quarter. This
decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $16.5 million, or 2
percent, in total net loans receivable to $860.4 million at September 30, 2000
from $876.9 million at June 30, 2000.

The proceeds from sales of current production of all single family, first
trust deed, residential mortgage loans and loan payoffs were used to pay down
FHLB advances. Total borrowings, which primarily consist of FHLB advances,
declined by $14.6 million to $327.1 million at September 30, 2000 from $341.7
million at June 30, 2000. The average maturity of the Company's existing FHLB
advances has been increased from 10.3 months at June 30, 2000 to 11.4 months
at September 30, 2000 in anticipation of possible rate

                                       7
<PAGE>

increases. These strategies, along with others, are intended to raise the
Company's current capital position through reducing the amount of leverage and
to mitigate the impact of future interest rate increases.

Total deposits declined slightly to $693.0 million at September 30, 2000 from
$696.5 million at June 30, 2000. This decline was attributable to normal
activities in transactional accounts. The Company continues its focus on
building clients' relationships through checking accounts and other banking
products and services.

Total stockholders' equity increased by $2.0 million during the period ended
September 30, 2000, which resulted mainly from the first quarter net income,
quarterly ESOP accruals and an increase in unrealized gains on securities
available for sale. This increase was partially reduced by resumption of the
Company's stock repurchases. A total of 22,000 shares, with an average price
of $18.08 per share, were repurchased in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. As
of September 30, 2000, 22 percent of the authorized 197,000 shares has been
repurchased with an average price of $16.44 per share.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended September 30, 2000 and
1999

The Company's net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $1.7
million, an increase of $123,000, or 8 percent, from $1.6 million during the
same quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in the gains on sale of loans, which was partly offset by the decline in net
interest income.

The gains on sale of loans increased by $461,000, or 54 percent, to $1.3
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $848,000 during the same
quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily due to higher loan sale volume
and higher loan sale margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to
the same quarter of fiscal 2000. The loan sale volume in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 was $111.4 million compared to $86.0 million in the same quarter
of fiscal 2000.

The Company's net interest income decreased by 8 percent to $6.6 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $7.1 million during the comparable
period of 1999. This decrease resulted from the increase in cost of funds,
which outpaced the increase in earning assets. The cost of funds increased by
87 basis points while the yield on earning assets increased by only 26 basis
points. The average earning assets during the first quarter 2001 were $1.1
billion, an increase of $127.1 million, or 13 percent, as compared to $962.8
million during the same quarter last year. The effect of earning asset growth
was offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin narrowed to
2.40 percent in the first quarter from 2.95 percent during the same period of
1999.

The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 68 percent in the first quarter
from 70 percent in the same period of 1999. This increase was mainly
attributable to the increase in mortgage banking revenue. Return on average
assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 0.61 percent and
0.64 percent, respectively. Return on average equity for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 7.81 percent and 7.36 percent, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $0.48,
an increase of 17 percent from $0.41 in the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
The increase in the net earnings per share reflects the Company's stock
repurchase programs during fiscal years 1999 and 2000.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $3.0 million, or 18 percent, to
$20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $17.2 million
during the same quarter in 1999. This increase was the result of growth in
average earning assets and higher overall market rates. The average earnings
assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $1.1 billion as compared
to $962.8 million during the same period last year. The average yield on
earning assets during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.42 percent, 29
basis points higher than the average yield of 7.13 percent during the same
period last year.

Loan interest income increased by $2.7 million, or 20 percent, to $16.7
million in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $14.0 million
for the same period in 1999. This increase was

                                       8
<PAGE>

attributable to growth in average loans, including those available for sale,
from $751.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to $867.5 million
during the same quarter of fiscal 2001. The average loan yield during the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.69 percent as compared to 7.43 percent
during the same quarter last year.

The interest income from investment securities, including Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") stock, increased by $300,000, or 10 percent to $3.5 million
during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $3.2 million during the same
quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in the
amount of average investment securities and an increase in the average yield.
The average investment securities increased by $10.8 million, or 5 percent, to
$222.5 million during the first quarter of 2001 from $211.7 million in the
same quarter last year. The average yield on investment securities increased
by 28 basis points to 6.36% during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 6.08%
during the same period last year.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
was $13.7 million as compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 1999, an
increase of $3.6 million, or 36 percent. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in average deposits and FHLB advances as well as the
cost of both. The average cost of liabilities was 5.33 percent during the
quarter ended September 30, 2000, up 87 basis points as compared to 4.46
percent from the same period in 1999.

Average deposits increased by $35.2 million, or 5 percent, to $692.5 million
during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $657.3 million
during the same period in 1999. The average cost of deposits increased to 4.82
percent during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from 4.21 percent during
the same quarter in 1999. The increase in the average rate on deposits was due
to higher market rates.

Borrowings, which are mainly FHLB advances, averaged $327.8 million during the
quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $238.4 million for the same
quarter in 1999, an increase of $89.4 million. The average cost on the
borrowings increased to 6.41 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
from 5.18 percent in the same quarter in 1999. This increase resulted from the
lengthening of short-term borrowings to mitigate the future impact of rising
rates.

Provision for Loan Losses.  No additional loan loss provisions were added
during the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000. The allowance for loan
losses was $6.9 million at September 30, 2000 as compared to $6.7 million a
year earlier. The allowance as a percent of gross loans held for investment at
September 30, 2000 was 0.84 percent as compared to 0.87 percent at September
30, 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 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 reviews significant 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 $700,000, or 30 percent,
to $2.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $2.2 million
during the same period in 2000. The increase in non-interest income was
primarily attributable to an increase in gains from the sale of loans and
higher loan sale margin. In addition, the Company sold one of its mortgage
lending offices, Pacific Sunbelt Mortgage, in the first quarter of fiscal 2001
for a gain of $114,000. Total loans sold during the first quarter of fiscal
2001 increased by $25.4 million, or 30 percent, to $111.4 million as compared
to $86.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2000.

Non-Interest Expenses.  Non-interest expense decreased by $92,000 to $6.4
million during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 from $6.5 million in the
same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to (a) a
decrease in the incentive based compensation related to the loan production/
mortgage banking division and (b) a decrease in equipment and professional
expenses associated with last year's Y2K equipment depreciation and consultant
costs. Non-interest expenses as a percentage of average assets improved to
2.26 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 from 2.58 percent during
the same period in fiscal 1999.

Income taxes.  Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 as compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 1999.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
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 the FHLB of San
Francisco equal to 40 percent of total assets, which, on September 30, 2000
permitted additional advances of $129.6 million, in addition to having
unsecured lines of $74 million 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 September 30, 2000, the
Savings Bank originated $132.8 million of loans as compared to $226.2 million
during the same period in 1999. For the quarter ended September 30, 2000, loan
sales aggregated $111.4 million, compared to $86.0 million for the same period
in 1999, and loan principal payments totaled $34.9 million, compared to $45.1
million for the same period in 1999.

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 of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were 10 percent
and 25 percent, respectively. A reduction of the Savings Bank's quarterly
average liquidity was attributable mainly to (a) investment securities,
totaling $100.0 million, which were pledged to the FHLB to collateralize the
Security Backed Credit facility and (b) investment securities, totaling $15.0
million, which were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank to collateralize the
Discount Window facility since September 1999.

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, 2000 are as
follows (dollars in thousands):

                                              Amount        Percent
