    SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              December 31, 1999

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, 1999 is derived from audited 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 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,
1999 (File No. 0-28304) 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 quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

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
15, 2000. Management is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 133, if any, and will
adopt this statement in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30,
2001.

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 December 31, 1999, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion,
total deposits of $706.2 million and stockholders' equity of $85.7 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 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 both traditional savings and loan and
mortgage banking operations. The savings and loan operations primarily consist
of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding its
full service offices and investing these funds in one-to-four-family mortgage
loans and, to a lesser extent, in multi-family, commercial real estate,
construction, business, consumer and other loans. Mortgage banking activities
consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-
family residences and the servicing of such loans for others. In addition, the
Savings Bank also facilitates business loans, business checking accounts and
other business banking services. The Savings Bank's revenue 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 December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999

Total assets increased by $244.2 million, or 26 percent, to $1.2 billion at
December 31, 1999 from $957.4 million at June 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily the result of an increase of $206.1 million, or 29 percent, in total
loans receivable, net (including loans held for sale) to $913.2 million at
December 31, 1999 from $707.1 million at June 30, 1999; and, to a lesser
extent, an increase of $16.1 million, or 9 percent, in total investment
securities to $203.3 million at December 31, 1999 from $187.2 million at June
30, 1999. The rapid growth in portfolio loans was primarily attributable to a
shift in borrower preference toward adjustable rate loans, which are typically
held in portfolio, from fixed rate mortgages, which are typically sold; and
the economic characteristics of the Company's market area. Funding for this
growth was provided by an increase of $73.4 million in deposits and an
increase of $170.8 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Total stockholders' equity decreased by $4.0 million during the period ended
December 31, 1999, which was mainly the result of the repurchase of 393,500
shares of the Company's common stock that totaled $7.5 million. Through
December 31, 1999, the Company completed 90 percent of its 10 percent stock
repurchase program announced in July 1999.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Six Months Ended December
31, 1999 and 1998

The Company's net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $1.8
million, an increase of $242,000, or 15 percent, from $1.6 million during the
same quarter in 1998. This increase was due to an increase in net interest
income and a decrease in operating expenses. For the six months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's net income was $3.5 million and $3.2 million,
respectively.

The Company's net interest income increased by 21 percent to $7.4 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $6.1 million during the comparable
period of 1998. The increase in net interest income reflects growth in average
earning assets, which increased by $252.1 million, or 31 percent, during the
current quarter. The effect of earning asset growth was partially offset by a
lower net interest margin. The net interest margin narrowed to 2.74 percent
from 2.95 percent during the same period of 1998. For the six months ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, net interest income was $14.5 million and $11.6
million, respectively.

The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 65 percent in the current quarter
from 70 percent in the same period of 1998. For the six months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, the efficiency ratio was 68 percent and 69 percent,
respectively.

Return on average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was
0.66 percent and 0.75 percent, respectively. For the six months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, the return on average assets was 0.65 percent and 0.76
percent, respectively.

Return on average equity for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was
8.56 percent and 7.61 percent, respectively. For the six months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, the return on average equity was 7.96 percent and 7.51
percent, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 was $0.49,
an increase of 26 percent from $0.39 in the quarter ended December 31, 1998.
For six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the diluted earnings per
share were $0.90 and $0.76, respectively. The increase in the net earnings per
share was attributable to the growth in earning assets and the Company's stock
repurchase programs during fiscal years 1999 and 2000.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $4.5 million, or 31 percent, to
$19.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $14.8 million
during the same quarter in 1998. This was the result of an increase in average
interest earning assets from $820.9 million to $1.1 billion.

Loan interest income increased by $2.5 million, or 19 percent, to $15.8
million in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $13.3 million
for the same period in 1998. This increase was attributable to growth in
average loans, including those held for sale, from $723.8 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 to$849.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal
2000 and a higher average loan yield, 7.37 percent versus 7.47 percent,
respectively.

The interest income from investment securities, including Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") stock, increased by $2.0 million, or 139 percent to $3.4 million
for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $1.4 million for the same quarter
in 1998. This was mainly a result of an increase in the amount of average
investment securities from $97.0 million during the second quarter of 1999 to
$223.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2000.

                                       10
<PAGE>

For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the interest income increased by
$7.4 million, or 26 percent, to $36.4 million as compared to the same period
in 1998. This increase was attributable to an increase in average earnings
assets from $806.2 million during the first half of fiscal 1999 to $1.0
billion during the first half of fiscal 2000. The interest income on loans
increased by $3.6 million, or 14 percent, to $29.8 million as average loans
increased from $713.9 million to $800.2 million during the same period in
fiscal 1999 and 2000, respectively. The average yield on loans increased by 11
basis points to 7.45 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared
to the same period in fiscal 1999. The interest income on investments also
increased by $4.1 million, or 158 percent, to $6.6 million as average
investments increased from $92.4 million to $217.7 million during the same
period in fiscal 1999 and 2000, respectively. The average yield on
investments, however, increased only by 8 basis points to 6.10 percent while
investment represented the majority of earning asset growth. As a result, the
overall average yield on earning assets declined by 3 basis points to 7.16
percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same period in
fiscal 1999.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1999
was $11.9 million as compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 1998, an
increase of $3.2 million, or 37 percent. This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in average FHLB advances and deposits. The average
cost of liabilities was 4.68 percent during the quarter ended December 31,
1999, up 5 basis points as compared from the same period in 1998. Average
deposits increased by $85.6 million, or 14 percent, during the quarter ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998, and the average rate
paid on deposits decreased to 4.33 percent during the quarter ended December
31, 1999 from 4.48 percent during the same quarter in 1998. The decrease in
the deposit average rate was due to the fact that maturing deposits were
replaced with lower rates. Borrowings, which are mainly FHLB advances,
averaged $309.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 as compared
to $131.5 million for the same quarter in 1998. The average rate paid on the
borrowings increased to 5.46 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 1999
from 5.33 percent in the same quarter in 1998.

For the six months ended December 31, 1999, total interest expense increased
by $4.6 million, or 26 percent, to $22.0 million as compared to the same
period in 1998. The average cost of liabilities decreased by 14 basis points
to 4.58 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999. Average deposits increased by $74.8 million, or 12
percent, to $678.5 million while the average cost decreased by 29 basis points
to 4.27 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999. Average borrowings increased by $145.6 million, or 113
percent, to $274.1 million while the average cost decreased by 15 basis points
to 5.34 percent during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses.  There were no provisions for loan losses during
the quarter ended December 31, 1999. This compares to $150,000 during the same
period in 1998. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999 was $6.7
million as compared to $6.5 million at the same period in 1998. The allowance
as a percent of gross loans held for investment at December 31, 1999 was 0.79
percent as compared to 0.98 percent at December 31, 1998. Net recoveries were
$6,000 during the first half of fiscal 2000 as compared to net charge offs of
$80,000 during the same period of 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 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 $1.5 million, or 44
percent, to $1.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $3.4
million during the same period in 1998. The decrease in non-interest income
was primarily attributable to a decrease in gains from the sale of loans.
Total loans sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased by $119.2
million, or 65 percent, to $64.7 million as compared to $183.9 million in the
same period in fiscal 1999.

For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the non-interest income decreased
by $2.3 million, or 36 percent, to $4.1 million as compared to the same period
in 1998. Total loans sold during the first half of fiscal 2000 decreased by
$179.2 million, or 54 percent, to $150.7 million as compared to $329.8 million
in the same period in fiscal 1999.

Non-interest Expenses.  Non-interest expenses decreased by $433,000 during the
quarter ended December 31, 1999 to $6.1 million from $6.5 million in the same
period in 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower compensation
costs. Non-interest expenses as percentage of average assets improved to 2.16
percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 from 3.03 percent during the
same period in fiscal 1999.

For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the non-interest expenses
increased by $507,000 to $12.6 million as compared to the same period in 1998.
This increase was due mainly to an increase in equipment expense related to
the Company's recent computer system conversion. Non-interest expenses as
percentage of average assets also improved to 2.36 percent during the first
half of fiscal 2000 from 2.87 percent during the same period in fiscal 1999.

Income taxes.  Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the quarters ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to $1.2 million during the same period in 1998.
For the six months ended December 31, 1999, the income tax expense was $2.5
million as compared to $2.3 million during the same period in 1998. The
effective tax rate for the second quarter and for six months ended December
31, 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 the FHLB of San
Francisco of 40 percent of total assets, which, on December 31, 1999 permitted
additional advances of $70.9 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, 1999, the
Savings Bank originated $197.2 million of loans as compared to $264.0 million
during the same period in 1998. For six months ended December 31, 1999, the
Bank originated $423.4 million of loans as compared to $487.2 million during
the same period in 1998. This activity was funded primarily by loan sales,
loan principal payments, deposits and FHLB advances. For the quarter ended
December 31, 1999, loan sales aggregated $64.7 million and loan principal
payments totaled $27.9 million. For six months ended December 31, 1999, loans
sales aggregated $150.7 million and loan principal payments totaled $73.0
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 second quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999 were 12.3
percent and 13.9 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 December 31, 1999 are as
follows (dollars in thousands):
                                            Amount      Percent

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
was not corrected, some, if not all, systems used by the Company would have
been at risk of not being able to function properly. To prevent this from
happening, the Company undertook a major project to ensure that its internal
operating systems, as well as those of its customers and suppliers, would be
fully capable of processing transactions in the Year 2000 and beyond. The
Company 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 consisted of the
Chief Information Officer and senior management staff from all levels. The
committee reported the progress of Year 2000 progress 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 also reviewed its critical non-information technology systems to
assess the risk of Year 2000 failure.  Critical systems that posed risk of
Year 2000 failure were supported by detailed contingency plans, which were
developed to ensure uninterrupted services.

The Company, as part of its Year 2000 remediation plan, monitored the progress
of critical third party vendors as they implemented corrective actions to
ensure an uninterrupted flow of goods and services.  For both systems and
vendors that were classified as critical, contingency plans were developed
which included, among other things, alternate processing methods, steps for
transitioning to manual processes, and alternate vendors or sources of goods
and services.

The Company 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 successfully rolled over into year 2000 and continues
to monitor the overall systems and critical vendors.

Costs
- -----
The cost of the project was originally estimated at $3.5 million, which
included 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. The total cost of the project was within
budget with a total of $3.4 million, or 96 percent, of the total cost spent as
of December 31, 1999. The replacement equipment and software was 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 have resulted in an interruption of normal business
activities or operations, which may have materially and adversely affected the
Company's results of operations. As a participant in domestic payment systems,
the Company's Year 2000 preparedness was 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 significantly reduced
the risk inherent in the Year 2000 problem.
