SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2001

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 nine
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Note 4: Recent Accounting Pronouncement

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. In December 2000, the DIG released a tentative conclusion that loan
commitments on loans that will be classified as held for sale are derivatives
pursuant SFAS No. 133. The FASB has not cleared this interpretation,
therefore the Company has not adopted the DIG's tentative conclusion.
However, at some future date, the Company may elect to adopt or be required to
adopt the DIG conclusion. The Company has not determined if the adoption of
this interpretation will have a material impact on the Company's statement of
operations.

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 March 31, 2001, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion, total
deposits of $723.4 million and total stockholders' equity of $95.3 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 and 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 consumer and commercial banking
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
and consumer 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 traditional banking and
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 March 31, 2001 and June 30, 2000

Total assets as of March 31, 2001 increased by $10.1 million to $1.16 billion
from $1.15 billion at June 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to an
increase of $67.4 million, or 129 percent, in loans held for sale to $119.4
million at March 31, 2001 from $52.0 million at June 30, 2000. This increase
was partially offset by a decrease of $54.5 million in loans held to maturity
to $770.4 million at March 31, 2001 from $824.9 million at June 30, 2000. In
January 2001, mortgage rates began to decline triggering a significant
increase in the refinance market. As a result, the balance of loans held for
sale increased substantially, while the balance of loans held to maturity
decreased at a similar pace.

Total deposits increased to $723.4 million at March 31, 2001 from $696.5
million at June 30, 2000. This increase was attributable mainly to the
increase in savings and transactional accounts. The Company continued its
focus on building client relationships through checking accounts and other
banking products and services. The increase in total deposits was used to
replace a portion of the FHLB advances which matured during the period.

Total borrowings, which primarily consist of FHLB advances, declined by $26.2
million to $315.5 million at March 31, 2001 from $341.7 million at June 30,
2000. The average maturity of the Company's existing FHLB advances has been
extended from 10.3 months at June 30, 2000 to 19.2 months at March 31, 2001.
The Company's decision to extend the average maturity of the borrowings has
improved the maturity gap between its assets and liabilities, which further
decreases the Company's susceptibility to future interest rate fluctuations.

Total stockholders' equity increased by $6.3 million during the nine months
ended March 31, 2001, resulting mainly from net income for the nine months,
quarterly ESOP accruals and an increase in unrealized gains on securities
available for sale. This increase was partially reduced by the Company's stock
repurchases during the nine months of fiscal 2001. A total of 68,975 shares,
with an average price of $18.76 per share, were repurchased during the nine
months of fiscal 2001. This resulted in a total of 89,975 shares, or 46
percent, of 197,000 shares repurchased pursuant to the March 2000 stock
repurchase authorization, with an average cost of $17.83 per share. This stock
repurchase authorization expired on March 8, 2001. On March 22, 2001, the
Board of Directors approved the March 2001 stock repurchase program which
authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of the outstanding shares or
approximately 193,000 shares over a one year period. As of May 14, 2001,
21,000 shares had been repurchased with an average price of $21.39.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Nine Months Ended March
31, 2001 and 2000

The Company's net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $2.3
million, an increase of $758,000, or 48 percent, from $1.6 million during the
same quarter in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in the gain on sale of loans, which was partly offset by the decline in net
interest income. For the nine months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the
Company's net income was $ 6.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

The Company's net interest income before loan and lease losses decreased by
$726,000, or 10 percent to $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001
from $7.3 million during the comparable period of 2000. This decrease resulted
from an increase in the cost of funds, which outpaced the increase in yield on
earning assets. The net interest margin narrowed to 2.44 percent in the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 from 2.57 percent during the same period of fiscal
2000.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, net interest income was
$19.6 million and $21.8 million, respectively; and the net interest margin was
2.41 percent and 2.74 percent, respectively.

The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 60 percent in the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 from 69 percent in the same period of fiscal 2000. For the nine
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the efficiency ratio was 64 percent and
68 percent, respectively.

10
Return on average assets for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was
0.83 percent and 0.53 percent, respectively. For the nine months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, the return on average assets was 0.72 percent and 0.61
percent, respectively.

Return on average equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was
10.61 percent and 7.38 percent, respectively. For the nine months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000, the return on average equity was 9.21 percent and 7.77
percent, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $0.65, an
increase of 44 percent from $0.45 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. For
the nine months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the diluted earnings per share
were $1.70 and $1.35, respectively. The increase in the diluted earnings per
share reflects the effect of the Company's stock repurchase program during
fiscal years 2001 and 2000 and a $1.1 million increase in net income for the
nine months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $505,000, or 3 percent, to $20.2
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $20.7 million during the
same quarter in 2000. This decrease was primarily the result of a lower
average loan balance, which was partially offset by a higher average loan
yield. The average earning assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 were
$1.08 billion, down $59.5 million or 5 percent, from $1.14 billion during the
same period last year. The average yield on earning assets during the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.46 percent, 21 basis points higher than the
average yield of 7.25 percent during the same period last year.

Loan interest income decreased by $578,000, or 3 percent, to $16.7 million in
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $17.3 million for the same
period in 2000. This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan
balance, which was partially offset by an increase in the average loan yield.
The average loans outstanding, including those available for sale, decreased
by $56.8 million to $860.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2001
from $916.8 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease of
the loan average balance was primarily attributable to loan prepayments due to
a decline in mortgage rates which began in January 2001. The average loan
yield during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 was 7.76 percent as compared to
7.53 percent during the same quarter last year. The increase in the average
loan yield was the result of the lagging impact of the increase of market
interest rates during the period from May 1999 through December 2000.

The interest income from investment securities, including Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") stock and interest-earning deposits, increased by $73,000, or 2
percent to $3.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $3.4
million during the same quarter in 2000. This increase was primarily due to an
increase in FHLB dividends ($33,000) resulting from a higher yield, an
increase in interest income for overnight deposits ($32,000) and the
recognition of additional interest on investment securities which were called
and had remaining discounts ($22,000). The average balance of investment
securities remained virtually unchanged at $203.8 million, while the average
balance of FHLB stock declined to $16.5 million during the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 from $20.5 million during the same period of fiscal 2000. The
average yield on investment securities increased by 3 basis points to 6.28%
during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 from 6.25% during the same period last
year. The average yield on FHLB stock increased by 195 basis points to 6.59%
during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 from 4.64% during the same period last
year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, total interest income increased by
$3.5 million, or 6 percent, to $60.6 million as compared to $57.1 million for
the same period in 2000. This increase was attributable to an increase of the
average earning-asset yield and the FHLB stock dividend accrual of $271,000,
which in the prior period, was not recognized until received. The average
yield on earning assets increased by 28 basis points to 7.47 percent during
the nine months ended March 31, 2001 from 7.19 percent during the same period
in 2000. The average earning assets increased by $23.8 million, or 2 percent,
to $1.08 billion during the nine months of fiscal 2001 from $1.06 billion
during the same period of fiscal 2000.

The interest income on loans increased by $2.7 million, or 6 percent, to $49.8
million during the nine months of fiscal 2001 from $47.1 million during the
same period of fiscal 2000. The average loans outstanding increased by $21.4
million, or 3 percent, to $860.2 million during the nine months ended March
31, 2001 from $838.8 million during the same period in 2000. The average yield
on loans increased

11
by 24 basis points to 7.72 percent during the nine months of fiscal 2001 as
compared to 7.48 percent during the same period in fiscal 2000.

The interest income on investment securities, including FHLB stock and other
interest-earning deposits, increased by $751,000, or 7 percent, to $10.8
million during the nine months of fiscal 2001 from $10.1 million during the
same period of fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
average investment balances and a change in the income recognition of the FHLB
stock dividend as previously described. The average balance of investment
securities decreased to $203.3 million during the nine months of fiscal 2001
from $203.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2000. The average yield
on investment securities remained at 6.26 percent during the nine-month period
in fiscal 2001 as compared to the same period last year. The average balance
of FHLB stock increased to $17.3 million during the nine months of fiscal 2001
from $16.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2000. The average yield on
FHLB stock increased to 9.03 percent during the nine-month period in fiscal
2001 as compared to 4.14 percent during the same period last year. Excluding
the additional FHLB dividend accrual, the current year-to-date yield of FHLB
stock would have been 6.95 percent.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was
$13.6 million as compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2000, an
increase of $221,000, or 2 percent. This increase was primarily attributable
to an increase in average balance and average cost of deposits, which was
partially offset by a higher average cost of borrowings over a lower average
balance. The average cost of liabilities was 5.44 percent during the quarter
ended March 31, 2001, up 46 basis points compared to 4.98 percent during the
same period in 2000. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities
declined by $65.7 million to $1.01 billion during the third quarter of fiscal
2001 from $1.08 billion during the same period last year.

Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $8.7
million as compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2000, an increase
of $955,000, or 12 percent. Average deposits increased by $7.9 million to
$710.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $702.9 million
during the same period in 2000. The average cost of deposits increased to 4.99
percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 4.45 percent during the
same quarter in 2000. The increase in the average cost on deposits was due to
the lagging impact of rising market interest rates mentioned earlier.

Interest expense on borrowings for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was $4.8
million as compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$734,000, or 13 percent. The average borrowings, which are mainly FHLB
advances, were $302.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to $375.7 million for the same quarter in 2000, a decrease of $73.6
million. The average cost on the borrowings increased to 6.51 percent for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001 from 5.97 percent in the same quarter in 2000.
The increase in the average cost on borrowings was due to the lagging impact
of rising market interest rates and the replacement of short-term borrowings
with long-term borrowings. As of March 31, 2001, the average maturity of FHLB
borrowings was at 19.2 months as compared to 8.0 months at March 31, 2000.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, total interest expense increased by
$5.7 million, or 16 percent, to $41.1 million as compared to $35.4 million for
the same period in 2000. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increased by 70 basis points to 5.42 percent during the nine months of fiscal
2001 as compared to 4.72 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000. The
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities during the nine-month period
of fiscal 2001 increased by $18.0 million, or 2 percent, to $1.01 billion as
compared to $994.3 million during the same period last year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, total interest expense on deposits
increased by $3.5 million, or 16 percent, to $25.9 million as compared to
$22.4 million for the same period in 2000. The average deposits increased by
$14.7 million, or 2 percent, to $701.3 million as compared to $686.6 million
during the same period in 2000. The average cost of deposits increased by 60
basis points to 4.93 percent during the nine months of fiscal 2001 as compared
to 4.33 percent during the same period in fiscal 2000.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, total interest expense on borrowings
increased by $2.2 million, or 17 percent, to $15.2 million as compared to
$13.0 million for the same period in 2000. Average borrowings increased by
$3.4 million, or 1 percent, to $311.1 million as compared to $307.7 million
during

12
the same period of fiscal 2000. The average cost of borrowings increased by 92
basis points to 6.52 percent during the nine months of fiscal 2001 as compared
to 5.60 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses. No loan and lease loss provisions were
added during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to $175,000 during
the same period of fiscal 2000. The allowance for loan and lease losses was
$6.7 million at March 31, 2001 as compared to $6.9 million for the same period
in 2000. The allowance as a percent of gross loans held for investment at
March 31, 2001 was 0.86 percent as compared to 0.81 percent at March 31, 2000.

The allowance for loan and lease 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 and lease loss
experience, current 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 and lease losses. Future
adjustments to the allowance for loan and lease 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 $1.7 million, or 109
percent, to $3.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $1.6
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.

The gain on sale of loans increased by $1.7 million, or 619 percent, to $1.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $268,000 during the same
quarter in 2000. This increase was primarily due to a higher volume of loans
originated for sale and higher loan sale margins in the third quarter of
fiscal 2001 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2000. Total loans
originated for sale during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 increased by
$125.9 million, or 136 percent, to $218.0 million as compared to $92.1 million
in the same period in fiscal 2000. The increase of the loans originated for
sale was a result of recent declines in mortgage rates which sparked the
refinance market which began in January 2001. The average loan sale margin
during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 was approximately 0.88 percent as
compared to 0.29 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000. The gain on
sale of loans in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was affected by the sale of
portfolio first trust deed loans as part of the interest rate risk mitigation
action taken by Management. The estimated loss from this action was
approximately $500,000, which accounted for approximately 0.54 percent of the
0.59 percent difference between the current quarter's loan sale margin in
comparison to the same period last year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, non-interest income increased by
$3.5 million, or 63 percent, to $9.2 million from $5.6 million during the same
period in 2000. 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 $91,000 to $5.9
million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $6.0 million in the same
period in 2000. 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 and a decrease in
equipment expenses associated with lower equipment depreciation expense. These
cost savings were partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits.
Non-interest expenses as a percentage of average assets increased to 2.09
percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 from 2.03 percent during the
same period of fiscal 2000.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, non-interest expense decreased by
$280,000 to $18.3 million from $18.5 million during the same period last year.
This decrease was mainly due to the decrease of premises and occupancy,
equipment, professional and marketing expenses. These cost savings were
partially offset by an increase in salary and employee benefits and other
operation and administrative costs. Non-interest expense as a percentage of
average assets improved to 2.15 percent during the nine months of fiscal 2001
from 2.23 percent during the same period of fiscal 2000.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $1.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2001 as compared to $1.1 million during the same period in 2000. The
effective tax rate for the third quarter ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 was 41
percent and 42 percent, respectively.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2001, income tax expense was $4.4 million
as compared to $3.7 million during the same period in 2000. The effective tax
rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 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 March 31, 2001
permitted additional advances of $137.0 million, in addition to having
unsecured lines of $75 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.

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 third quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were 21 percent
and 9 percent, respectively. The substantial improvement of the Savings Bank's
quarterly average liquidity was attributable mainly to an adjustment made in
the calculation on the unused portion of the pledged investment securities.

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 March 31, 2001 are as
follows (dollars in thousands):
