SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 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 periods 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America 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 earnings per share ("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, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Note 4: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities",
as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, on July 1, 2000. 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. There
was no significant impact on the overall financial statements upon adoption.

This statement continues to evolve as the Derivatives Implementation Group
("DIG"), a task force formed by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), makes
additional interpretations. The DIG's interpretations are not considered
authoritative until cleared by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"). It is possible that the DIG's ongoing efforts to interpret this
statement could have an impact on the Company's present accounting treatment.
For example, upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company accounted for loan
commitments on loans classified as held for sale as outside the scope of SFAS
No. 133. The DIG released a tentative conclusion in December 2000 that loan
commitments on loans that will be classified as held for sale are derivatives
pursuant to SFAS No. 133. Because the FASB has not cleared this
interpretation, the Company has not adopted the DIG's tentative conclusion on
this issue.

In September 2000, SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of SFAS
Statement No. 125, was issued. It revises the standards for accounting for
securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and
requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's
provisions without reconsideration. It is not expected that the adoption of
SFAS No. 140 will have a material impact on the Company's results of income,
financial position, or cash flows.

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, 2000, the Company had total assets of $1.1 billion,
total deposits of $705.9 million and stockholders' equity of $92.7 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 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
the 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, 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 primarily 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 December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000

In line with the Company's interest rate risk mitigation strategies as
mentioned on page five of the Company's 10-K report for the year ended June
30, 2000, total assets as of December 31, 2000 decreased by $24.3 million, or
2 percent, to $1.1 billion as compared to June 30, 2000. This decrease was
primarily the result of a decrease of $32.9 million, or 4 percent, in total
net loans receivable to $844.0 million at December 31, 2000 from $876.9
million at June 30, 2000. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of
$4.9 million in investment securities during the first half of fiscal 2001.

The proceeds from sales of the 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 $37.8 million to $303.9 million at December 31, 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 15.6 months
at December 31, 2000 in line with the Company's mitigation strategies. These
strategies, along with others, are intended to raise the Company's current
capital position by reducing the amount of leverage and to mitigate the impact
of future interest rate increases.

Total deposits increased to $705.9 million at December 31, 2000 from $696.5
million at June 30, 2000. This increase was attributable to the increase in
transactional accounts. The Company continues its focus on building client
relationships through checking accounts and other banking products and
services.

Total stockholders' equity increased by $3.8 million during the first six
months ended December 31, 2000, resulting mainly from net income for the first
six months, quarterly ESOP accruals and an increase in unrealized gains on
securities available for sale. This increase was partially reduced by a
resumption of the Company's stock repurchase program. A total of 57,475
shares, with an average price of $18.46 per share, were repurchased in the
first half of fiscal 2001. As of December 31, 2000, 40 percent of the
authorized 197,000 shares was repurchased with an average price of $17.46 per
share.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Six Months Ended December
31, 2000 and 1999

The Company's net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was $2.0
million, an increase of $187,000, or 10 percent, from $1.8 million during the
same quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in the gains on sale of loans, real estate operations and other non-interest
income, and partly offset by the decline in net interest income. For the six
months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's net income was $ 3.8
million and $3.5 million, respectively.

The Company's net interest income decreased by $976,000, or 13 percent to $6.4
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $7.4 million during the
comparable period of 1999. This decrease resulted from the increase in the
cost of funds, which outpaced the increase in yield on earning assets. The net
interest margin narrowed to 2.37 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2001
from 2.74 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000. For the six months
ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, net interest income was $12.9 million and
$14.5 million, respectively; and the net interest margin was 2.39 percent and
2.84 percent, respectively.

The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 63 percent in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 from 65 percent in the same period of fiscal 2000. For the six
months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the efficiency ratio was 65 percent
and 68 percent, respectively.

10
Return on average assets for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was
0.72 percent and 0.66 percent, respectively. For the six months ended December
31, 2000 and 1999, the return on average assets was 0.67 percent and 0.65
percent, respectively.

Return on average equity for the quarters ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was
9.21 percent and 8.56 percent, respectively. For the six months ended December
31, 2000 and 1999, the return on average equity was 8.51 percent and 7.96
percent, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was $0.57,
an increase of 16 percent from $0.49 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999.
For the six months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the diluted earnings per
share were $1.05 and $0.90, respectively. The increase in the net earnings per
share reflects the effect of the Company's stock repurchase programs during
fiscal years 2000 and 2001 and a $310,000 increase in net income for the six
months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $954,000, or 5 percent, to $20.2
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $19.3 million during the
same quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily the result of higher overall
market interest rates. The average earning assets during the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 were virtually unchanged at $1.1 billion as compared to the same
period last year. The average yield on earning assets during the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.52 percent, 34 basis points higher than the
average yield of 7.18 percent during the same period last year.

Loan interest income increased by $597,000, or 4 percent, to $16.4 million in
the quarter ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $15.9 million for the same
period in 1999. This increase was attributable to the increase in average loan
yield resulting from the increase in market interest rates. The average loan
yield during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.71 percent as compared to
7.47 percent during the same quarter last year. The average loans outstanding,
including those available for sale, increased slightly to $852.9 million
during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from $849.2 million during the same
quarter of fiscal 2000.

The interest income from investment securities, including Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") stock, increased by $357,000, or 11 percent to $3.8 million
during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $3.4 million during the same
quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily due to an accrual of $270,000 for
the quarterly dividend on FHLB stock, which, in prior periods, was not
recorded until actually received. The average balance of investment securities
remained virtually unchanged at $223.0 million during the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2000. The average yield
on investment securities increased by 66 basis points to 6.77% during the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 from 6.11% during the same period last year, due
to the change in the income recognition timing of the FHLB stock dividend as
described above.

For the six months ended December 31, 2000, the interest income increased by
$4.0 million, or 11 percent, to $40.4 million as compared to $36.4 million for
the same period in 1999. This increase was attributable to an increase of the
average earning-asset yield resulting from the increase in market interest
rates and the FHLB stock dividend accrual. The average yield on earning assets
increased by 31 basis points to 7.47 percent during the six months ended
December 31, 2000 from 7.16 percent during the same period in 1999. The
average earning assets increased by $65.0 million, or 6 percent, to $1.1
billion during the six months of fiscal 2001 from $1.0 billion during the same
period of fiscal 2000.

The interest income on loans increased by $3.3 million, or 11 percent, to
$33.1 million during the six months of fiscal 2001 from $29.8 million during
the same period of fiscal 2000. The average loans outstanding increased by
$60.0 million, or 7 percent, to $860.2 million during the six months ended
December 31, 2000 from $800.2 million during the same period in 1999. The
average yield on loans increased by 25 basis points to 7.70 percent during the
six months of fiscal 2001 as compared to 7.45 percent during the same period
in fiscal 2000.

The interest income on investments also increased by $677,000, or 10 percent,
to $7.3 million during the six months of fiscal 2001 from $6.6 million during
the same period of fiscal 2000. This increase was

11
primarily due to an increase in investment balances and a change in the income
recognition of the FHLB stock dividend as described above. The average balance
of investment securities increased to $222.7 million during the first half of
fiscal 2001 from $217.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2000. The
average yield on investments increased by 47 basis points to 6.57 percent
during the six-month period in fiscal 2001 as compared to 6.10 percent during
the same period last year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2000
was $13.8 million as compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 1999, an
increase of $1.9 million, or 16 percent. This increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in average cost of deposits and FHLB advances. The
average cost of liabilities was 5.48 percent during the quarter ended December
31, 2000, up 80 basis points as compared to 4.68 percent during the same
period in 1999. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities remained
virtually unchanged at $1.0 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2001
as compared to the same period last year.

Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was $8.8
million as compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $1.2 million, or 16 percent. Average deposits remained virtually unchanged
at $700.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 as compared to
$699.8 million during the same period in 1999. The average cost of deposits
increased to 4.98 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from 4.33
percent during the same quarter in 1999. The increase in the average rate on
deposits was due to higher market rates.

Interest expense on borrowings for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was
$5.1 million as compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 1999, an
increase of $813,000, or 19 percent. The average borrowings, which are mainly
FHLB advances, were $303.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2000
as compared to $309.8 million for the same quarter in 1999, a decrease of $6.4
million. The average cost on the borrowings increased to 6.66 percent for the
quarter ended December 31, 2000 from 5.46 percent in the same quarter in 1999.
This increase resulted from the increase in market interest rates and the
replacement of short-term borrowings with long-term borrowings.

For the six months ended December 31, 2000, total interest expense increased
by $5.5 million, or 25 percent, to $27.5 million as compared to $22.0 million
for the same period in 1999. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increased by 83 basis points to 5.41 percent during the six months of fiscal
2001 as compared to 4.58 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000. The
average interest-bearing liabilities during the six-month period of fiscal
2001 increased by $59.5 million, or 6 percent, to $1.0 billion as compared to
$952.6 million during the same period last year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2000, total interest expense on deposits
increased by $2.5 million, or 17 percent, to $17.1 million as compared to
$14.6 million for the same period in 1999. The average deposits increased by
$18.0 million, or 3 percent, to $696.5 million as compared to $678.5 million
during the same period in 1999. The average cost of deposits increased by 63
basis points to 4.90 percent during the six months of fiscal 2001 as compared
to 4.27 percent during the same period in fiscal 2000.

For the six months ended December 31, 2000, total interest expense on
borrowings increased by $3.0 million, or 40 percent, to $10.4 million as
compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 1999. Average borrowings
increased by $41.5 million, or 15 percent, to $315.6 million as compared to
$274.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2000. The average cost of
borrowings increased by 119 basis points to 6.53 percent during the six months
of fiscal 2001 as compared to 5.34 percent during the same period of fiscal
2000.

Provision for Loan Losses. No loan loss provisions were added during the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 or fiscal 2000. The allowance for loan losses
was $6.8 million at December 31, 2000 as compared to $6.7 million for the same
period in 1999. The allowance as a percent of gross loans held for investment
at December 31, 2000 was 0.85 percent as compared to 0.79 percent at December
31, 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.
18
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 58
percent, to $3.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $1.9
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
the gains on sale of investment securities.

The gains on sale of loans increased by $933,000, or 156 percent, to $1.5
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $598,000 during the same
quarter in 1999. This increase was primarily due to higher loan sale volume
and higher loan sale margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to
the same quarter of fiscal 2000. Total loans sold during the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 increased by $55.3 million, or 86 percent, to $120.0 million as
compared to $64.7 million in the same period in fiscal 2000. The average loan
sale margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was approximately 1.28
percent as compared to 0.92 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000.

The gains on sale of investment securities during the second quarter of fiscal
2001 was $213,000, resulting mainly from the sale of 2,000 shares of Freddie
Mac common stock and 1,000 shares of Fannie Mae common stock.

For the six months ended December 31, 2000, the non-interest income increased
by $1.8 million, or 44 percent, to $5.9 million from $4.1 million during the
same period in 1999. The increase in non-interest income was primarily
attributable to an increase in the gains on sale of loans and the gains on
sale of investment securities.

Non-Interest Expenses. Non-interest expense decreased by $158,000 to $5.9
million during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $6.1 million in the
same period in 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to: a decrease
in premises and occupancy expense resulting from mortgage lending offices
which were closed, sold or consolidated during the first quarter; a decrease
in equipment and professional expenses associated with last year's Y2K
equipment depreciation and consultant costs; and a decrease in marketing
costs. These cost savings were partially offset by an increase of salaries and
compensation costs resulting from lower FASB 91 deferred cost. Non-interest
expenses as a percentage of average assets improved to 2.10 percent during the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 from 2.16 percent during the same period of
fiscal 2000.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.5 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2000 as compared to $1.4 million during the same period in 1999.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
was 42 percent.

For the six months ended December 31, 2000, income tax expense was $2.7
million as compared to $2.5 million during the same period in 1999. The
effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 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

20
Francisco equal to 40 percent of total assets, which, on December 31, 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 December 31, 2000, the
Savings Bank originated $133.0 million of loans as compared to $197.2 million
during the same period in 1999. For the quarter ended December 31, 2000, loan
sales aggregated $120.0 million, compared to $64.7 million for the same period
in 1999, and loan principal payments totaled $36.6 million, compared to $27.9
million for the same period in 1999.

By regulation, the Savings Bank must maintain 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 2001 and 2000 were 10
percent and 25 percent, respectively. A reduction of the Savings Bank's
quarterly average liquidity was attributable mainly to: investment securities,
totaling $100.0 million, which were pledged to the FHLB to collateralize the
Security Backed Credit facility; and investment securities, totaling $15.0
million, which were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to
collateralize future borrowings from the Discount Window.

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 action, 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, 2000 are as
follows (dollars in thousands):

Tangible capital...................... $ 78,747 7.10%
