PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2017 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Corporation”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) with respect to interim financial reporting. It is recommended that these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.
Note 2: Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”)
There have been no accounting standard updates or changes in the status of their adoption that are applicable to the Corporation as previously disclosed in Note 1 of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, except the adoption of ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting)," beginning in fiscal 2018 which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders 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.
As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were outstanding options to purchase
529,000
shares and
683,250
shares of the Corporation’s common stock, respectively. Of those shares, as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were
26,000
shares and
76,000
shares, respectively, which were excluded from the diluted EPS computation as their effect was anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2018, there were outstanding restricted stock awards of
98,500
shares which had a dilutive effect in the third quarter of fiscal 2018; and as of March 31, 2017, there were outstanding restricted stock awards of
111,000
shares which had a dilutive effect in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

The following table sets forth information at March 31, 2018 regarding the dollar amount of loans held for investment that are contractually repricing during the periods indicated, segregated between adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans. Fixed-rate loans comprised
two percent
of loans held for investment at both March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017. Adjustable rate loans having no stated repricing dates that reprice when the index they are tied to reprices (e.g. prime rate index) and checking account overdrafts are reported as repricing within one year. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments which may cause the Corporation’s actual repricing experience to differ materially from that shown.

The Corporation has developed an internal loan grading system to evaluate and quantify the Bank’s loans held for investment portfolio with respect to quality and risk. Management continually evaluates the credit quality of the Corporation’s loan portfolio and conducts a quarterly review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses using quantitative and qualitative methods. The Corporation has adopted an internal risk rating policy in which each loan is rated for credit quality with a rating of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. The two primary components that are used during the loan review process to determine the proper allowance levels are individually evaluated allowances and collectively evaluated allowances. Quantitative loan loss factors are developed by determining the historical loss experience, expected future cash flows, discount rates and collateral fair
15
values, among other components. Qualitative loan loss factors are developed by assessing general economic indicators such as gross domestic product, retail sales, unemployment rates, employment growth, California home sales and median California home prices. The Corporation assigns individual factors for the quantitative and qualitative methods for each loan category and each internal risk rating.
The Corporation categorizes all of the loans held for investment into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:
▪
Pass - These loans range from minimal credit risk to average, but still acceptable, credit risk. The likelihood of loss is considered remote.
▪
Special Mention - A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that may be temporary or, if left uncorrected, may result in a loss. While concerns exist, the bank is currently protected and loss is considered unlikely and not imminent.
▪
Substandard - A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. A substandard loan is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
▪
Doubtful - A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
▪
Loss - A loss loan is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted.
The following tables summarize gross loans held for investment, net of fair value adjustments, by loan types and risk category at the dates indicated:

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 loans held for investment and upon management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loans held for investment. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loans held for investment, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, and determination of the realizable value of the collateral securing the loans. The provision (recovery) for (from) the allowance for loan losses is charged (credited) against operations on a quarterly basis, as necessary, to maintain the allowance at
16
appropriate levels. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Corporation’s loans held for investment, will not request a significant increase in 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 as a result of economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the Corporation’s control.
Non-performing loans are charged-off to their fair market values in the period the loans, or portion thereof, are deemed uncollectible, generally after the loan becomes
150
days delinquent for real estate secured first trust deed loans and
120
days delinquent for commercial business or real estate secured second trust deed loans. For loans that were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as troubled debt restructurings (“restructured loans”), the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes
90
days delinquent; and where borrowers file bankruptcy, the charge-off occurs when the loan becomes
60
days delinquent. The amount of the charge-off is determined by comparing the loan balance to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less disposition costs, with the loan balance in excess of the estimated fair value charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses for non-performing loans is determined by applying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
310
, “Receivables.” For restructured loans that are less than
90
days delinquent, the allowance for loan losses are segregated into (a) individually evaluated allowances for those loans with applicable discounted cash flow calculations still in their restructuring period, classified lower than pass, and containing an embedded loss component or (b) collectively evaluated allowances based on the aggregated pooling method. For non-performing loans less than
60
days delinquent where the borrower has filed bankruptcy, the collectively evaluated allowances are assigned based on the aggregated pooling method. For non-performing commercial real estate loans, an individually evaluated allowance is derived based on the loan's discounted cash flow fair value (for restructured loans) or collateral fair value less estimated selling costs and if the fair value is higher than the loan balance, no allowance is required.

The following tables identify the Corporation’s total recorded investment in non-performing loans by type at the dates and for the periods indicated. Generally, a loan is placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest or if the loan is deemed impaired, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, where the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of the contractual principal or interest on the loan is doubtful. In addition, interest income is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured. A non-performing loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current, the borrower(s) has demonstrated sustained payment performance and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected on a timely basis. Loans with a related allowance reserve have been individually evaluated for impairment using either a discounted cash flow analysis or, for collateral dependent loans, current appraisals less costs to sell, to establish realizable value. This analysis may identify a specific impairment amount needed or may conclude that no reserve is needed. Loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment are included in pools of homogeneous loans for evaluation of related allowance reserves.

At both March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to those borrowers whose loans were classified as non-performing.
For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Corporation’s average recorded investment in non-performing loans was
$7.6 million
and
$9.3 million
, respectively. The Corporation records payments on non-performing loans utilizing the cash basis or cost recovery method of accounting during the periods when the loans are on non-performing status. For both quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, interest income of
$70,000
and
$132,000
, respectively, was recognized, based on cash receipts from loan payments on non-performing loans and
$51,000
and
$60,000
, respectively, was collected and applied to reduce the loan balances under the cost recovery method. Forgone interest income, which would have been recorded had the non-performing loans been current in accordance with their original terms, amounted to
$37,000
and
$29,000
for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and was not included in the results of operations.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Corporation’s average recorded investment in non-performing loans was
$8.1 million
and
$10.5 million
, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, interest income of

For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2018, there were
two
loans totaling
$2.2 million
that were newly modified from their original terms and re-underwritten or identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans. This compares to
no
loans that were newly modified from their original terms during the quarter and the nine months ended March 31, 2017. During the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017,
no
restructured loans were in default within a 12-month period subsequent to their original restructuring. Additionally, during the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were
no
loans whose modification was extended beyond the initial maturity of the modification, except for one commercial business loan with an outstanding balance of
$85,000
which was extended for two years during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. At both March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, there were
no
commitments to lend additional funds to those borrowers whose loans were restructured.
As of March 31, 2018, the Corporation held
12
restructured loans with a net outstanding balance of
$5.4 million
:
two
were classified as special mention on accrual status (
$811,000
); and
10
were classified as substandard (
$4.5 million
with
$3.2 million
on non-accrual status). As of June 30, 2017, the Corporation held
10
restructured loans with a net outstanding balance of
$3.6 million
:
one
was classified as special mention on accrual status (
$506,000
); and
nine
were classified as substandard (
$3.1 million
, all on non-accrual status). Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets that do not currently expose the Corporation to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification but possess weaknesses are designated as special mention and are closely monitored by the Corporation. As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017,
$3.7 million
or
68 percent
, and
$1.7 million
or
46 percent
, respectively, of the restructured loans were current with respect to their modified payment terms.
The Corporation upgrades restructured single-family loans to the pass category if the borrower has demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments for at least six consecutive months; 12 months for those loans that were restructured more than once; and if the borrower has demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments beyond 12 consecutive months, the loan is no longer categorized as a restructured loan. In addition to the payment history described above, multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans (which are sometimes referred to in this report as “preferred loans”) must also demonstrate a combination of the following characteristics to be upgraded: satisfactory cash flow, satisfactory guarantor support, and additional collateral support, among other characteristics.
To qualify for restructuring, a borrower must provide evidence of their creditworthiness such as, current financial statements, their most recent income tax returns, current paystubs, current W-2s, and most recent bank statements, among other documents, which are then verified by the Corporation. The Corporation re-underwrites the loan with the borrower’s updated financial information, new credit report, current loan balance, new interest rate, remaining loan term, updated property value and modified payment schedule, among other considerations, to determine if the borrower qualifies.
The following table summarizes at the dates indicated the restructured loan balances, net of allowance for loan losses, by loan type and non-accrual versus accrual status:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018,
two
properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while
one
previously foreclosed upon property was sold. This compares to the quarter ended March 31, 2017 when
two
properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while
one
previously foreclosed upon property was sold. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018,
three
properties

were acquired in the settlement of loans, while
three
previously foreclosed upon properties were sold. This compares to the nine months ended March 31, 2017 when
five
properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while
four
previously foreclosed upon properties were sold. As of March 31, 2018, there were
two
outstanding real estate owned properties located in California with a net fair value of
$787,000
. This compares to the real estate owned with a net fair value of
$1.6 million
at June 30, 2017, comprised of
one
property located in California and
one
property located in Arizona. A new appraisal was obtained on each of the properties at the time of foreclosure and fair value was derived by using the lower of the appraised value or the listing price of the property, net of selling costs. Any initial loss was recorded as a charge to the allowance for loan losses before being transferred to real estate owned. Subsequent to transfer to real estate owned, if there is further deterioration in real estate values, specific real estate owned loss reserves are established and charged to the statement of operations. In addition, the Corporation records costs to carry real estate owned as real estate operating expenses as incurred.
Note 7: Derivative and Other Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, loan sale commitments to third parties and option contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in entering into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Corporation had commitments to extend credit (on loans to be held for investment and loans to be held for sale) of
$67.9 million
and
$111.8 million
, respectively.
The following table provides information at the dates indicated regarding undisbursed funds to borrowers on existing lines of credit with the Corporation as well as commitments to originate loans to be held for investment at the dates indicated below:

In accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and interpretations of the Derivatives Implementation Group of the FASB, the fair value of the commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, loan sale commitments, to be announced (“TBA”) MBS trades, put option contracts and call option contracts are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At March 31, 2018,
$985,000
was included in other assets and
$489,000
was included in other liabilities; at June 30, 2017,
$1.5 million
was included in other assets and
$38,000
was included in other liabilities. The Corporation does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments; therefore, all changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.

Note 8: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Corporation adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” on loans originated for sale by PBM. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 825 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the “Fair Value Option”) at specified election dates. At each subsequent reporting date, an entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items in earnings for which the fair value option has been elected. The objective of the Fair Value Option is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.

ASC 820-10-65-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.
ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1
-
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2
-
Observable inputs other than Level 1 such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated to observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3
-
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that use significant assumptions, including assumptions of risks. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
ASC 820 requires the Corporation to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. If a financial instrument uses inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument will be categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation.
The Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investment securities available for sale, loans held for investment at fair value, loans held for sale at fair value, interest-only strips and derivative financial instruments; while non-performing loans, mortgage servicing assets ("MSA") and real estate owned are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Investment securities - available for sale are primarily comprised of U.S. government agency MBS and U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS. The Corporation utilizes quoted prices in active and less than active markets for similar securities for its fair value measurement of MBS and debt securities (Level 2) and broker price indications for similar securities in non-active markets for its fair value measurement of the CMO (Level 3).
Derivative financial instruments are comprised of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, mandatory loan sale commitments, TBA MBS trades and option contracts. The fair value of TBA MBS trades is determined using quoted secondary-market prices (Level 2). The fair values of other derivative financial instruments are determined by quoted prices for a similar commitment or commitments, adjusted for the specific attributes of each commitment (Level 3).
Loans held for investment at fair value are primarily single-family loans which have been transferred from loans held for sale. The fair value is determined by the quoted secondary-market prices which account for interest rate characteristics, and are then adjusted for management estimates of the specific credit risk attributes of each loan (Level 3).
30
Loans held for sale at fair value are primarily single-family loans. The fair value is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices such as mandatory loan sale commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a loan is determined by quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of each loan (Level 2).
Non-performing loans are loans which are inadequately protected by the current financial condition and paying capacity of the borrowers or of the collateral pledged. The non-performing loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The fair value of a non-performing loan is determined based on an observable market price or current appraised value of the underlying collateral. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the borrower. For non-performing loans which are restructured loans, the fair value is derived from discounted cash flow analysis (Level 3), except those which are in the process of foreclosure or 90 days delinquent for which the fair value is derived from the appraised value of its collateral (Level 2). For other non-performing loans which are not restructured loans, other than non-performing commercial real estate loans, the fair value is derived from relative value analysis: historical experience and management estimates by loan type for which collectively evaluated allowances are assigned (Level 3); or the appraised value of its collateral for loans which are in the process of foreclosure or where borrowers file bankruptcy (Level 2). For non-performing commercial real estate loans, the fair value is derived from the appraised value of its collateral (Level 2). Non-performing loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional allowance and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. This loss is not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), but rather as a component in determining the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These adjustments to the estimated fair value of non-performing loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in current earnings.
The Corporation uses the amortization method for its MSA, which amortizes the MSA in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income and assesses the MSA for impairment based on fair value at each reporting date. The fair value of MSA is derived using the present value method; which includes a third party’s prepayment projections of similar instruments, weighted-average coupon rates and the estimated average life (Level 3).
The rights to future income from serviced loans that exceed contractually specified servicing fees are recorded as interest-only strips. The fair value of interest-only strips is derived using the same assumptions that are used to value the related MSA (Level 3).
The fair value of real estate owned is derived from the lower of the appraised value or the listing price, net of estimated selling costs (Level 2).
The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
(3)
The percentage of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale which management has estimated may not fund.
(4)
An estimated cost to roll forward the mandatory loan sale commitments which management has estimated may not be delivered to the corresponding investors in a timely manner.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities include the following: prepayment speeds, discount rates, MBS – TBA quotes, fallout ratios, broker quotes and roll-forward costs, among other inputs. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The various unobservable inputs used to determine valuations may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation.

Investment securities - held to maturity: The investment securities - held to maturity consist of time deposits at CRA qualified minority financial institutions, U.S. SBA loan pool securities and U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS. Due to the short-term nature of the time deposits, the principal balances approximated fair value (Level 2). For the MBS and the U.S. SBA loan pool securities, the Corporation utilizes quoted prices in active and less than active markets for similar securities for its fair value measurement of MBS, U.S. SBA loan pool and debt securities (Level 2).
Loans held for investment, not recorded at fair value: For loans that reprice frequently at market rates, the carrying amount approximates the fair value. For fixed-rate loans, the fair value is determined by either (i) discounting the estimated future cash flows of such loans over their estimated remaining contractual maturities using a current interest rate at which such loans would be made to borrowers, or (ii) quoted market prices. The allowance for loan losses is subtracted as an estimate of the underlying credit risk.
FHLB – San Francisco stock: The carrying amount reported for FHLB – San Francisco stock approximates fair value. When redeemed, the Corporation will receive an amount equal to the par value of the stock.
Deposits: The fair value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The discount rate is based upon rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of transaction accounts (checking, money market and savings accounts) is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation and management estimates of current market conditions.
Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings has been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The discount rate on such borrowings is based upon rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
38
The Corporation has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value is reasonably estimated. The Corporation generally determines fair value of their Level 3 assets and liabilities by using internally developed models which primarily utilize discounted cash flow techniques and prices obtained from independent management services or brokers. The Corporation performs due diligence procedures over third-party pricing service providers in order to support their use in the valuation process. The fair values of investment securities, commitments to extend credit on loans held for sale, mandatory commitments and option contracts are determined from the independent management services or brokers; while the fair value of MSA and interest-only strips are determined using the internally developed models which are based on discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of non-performing loans is determined by calculating discounted cash flows, relative value analysis or collateral value, less selling costs.
While the Corporation believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, there were no significant changes to the Corporation’s valuation techniques that had, or are expected to have, a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 9: Incentive Plans
As of March 31, 2018, the Corporation had
two
active share-based compensation plans, which are described below. These plans are the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) and the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”). Additionally, the Corporation had one inactive share-based compensation plan - the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) where no new awards can be granted but outstanding grants remain eligible for exercise.
For the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the compensation cost for these plans was
$292,000
and
$254,000
, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations per adoption of ASU 2016-09 for share-based compensation plans for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was
$186,000
; while the income tax expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for share-based compensation plans for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was
$165,000
.
For the first nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the compensation cost for these plans was
$816,000
and
$1.2 million
, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations per adoption of ASU 2016-09 for share-based compensation plans for the first nine months ended March 31, 2018 was
$206,000
; while the income tax benefit recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for share-based compensation plans for the first nine months ended March 31, 2017 was
$14,000
.
Equity Incentive Plans.
The Corporation established and the shareholders approved the 2013 Plan, the 2010 Plan and the 2006 Plan (collectively, "the Plans") for directors, advisory directors, directors emeriti, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiary. The 2013 Plan authorizes
300,000
stock options and
300,000
shares of restricted stock. The 2013 Plan also provides that no person may be granted more than
60,000
stock options or
45,000
shares of restricted stock in any one year. The 2010 Plan authorizes
586,250
stock options and
288,750
shares of restricted stock. The 2010 Plan also provides that no person may be granted more than
117,250
stock options or
43,312
shares of restricted stock in any one year. The 2006 Plan authorized
365,000
stock options and
185,000
shares of restricted stock. The 2006 Plan also provides that no person may be granted more than
73,000
stock options or
27,750
shares of restricted stock in any one year.
Equity Incentive Plans - Stock Options.
Under the Plans, options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of the grant. Options typically vest over a
five
-year or shorter period as long as the director, advisory director, director emeritus, officer or employee remains in service to the Corporation. The options are exercisable after vesting for up to the remaining term of the original grant. The maximum term of the options granted is
10 years
.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions. The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from historical common stock closing prices for the prior
84
months. The expected dividend yield is based on the most recent quarterly dividend on an annualized basis. The expected term is based on the historical experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury note rate with a term similar to the underlying stock option on the particular grant date.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2018,
no
options were granted,
56,500
options were exercised and
no
options were forfeited. This compares to the third quarter of fiscal 2017 when
no
options were granted,
60,250
options were exercised and
159,500
options
39
were forfeited. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018,
no
options were granted,
83,750
options were exercised and
2,500
options were forfeited. This compares to the first nine months of fiscal 2017 when
26,000
options were granted, while
84,000
options were exercised and
186,750
options were forfeited. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were
147,500
and
145,000
stock options available for future grants under the Plans, respectively.
The following tables summarize the stock option activity in the Plans for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2018.

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there was
$503,000
and
$1.0 million
of unrecognized compensation expense, respectively, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements under the Plans. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
1.0 year
and
1.8 years
, respectively. The forfeiture rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was
20 percent
for both periods, and was calculated by using the historical forfeiture experience of stock option grants and is reviewed annually.
Equity Incentive Plans – Restricted Stock.
The Corporation used
300,000
shares,
288,750
shares and
185,000
shares of its treasury stock to fund the 2013 Plan, the 2010 Plan and the 2006 Plan, respectively. Awarded shares typically vest over a
five
-year or shorter period as long as the director, advisory director, director emeriti, officer or employee remains in service to the Corporation. Once vested, a recipient of restricted stock will have all rights of a shareholder, including the power to vote and the right to receive dividends. The Corporation recognizes compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2018,
10,500
shares of restricted stock vested and there were
no
awards or forfeitures of restricted stock. This compares to the award of
6,000
shares,
no
forfeitures and
no
vesting of restricted stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, there were
no
restricted stock awards but
10,500
shares vested and
2,000
shares of restricted stock were forfeited. This compares to the award of
24,000
shares, the forfeiture of
15,250
shares and the vesting of
40
87,750
shares of restricted stock in the first nine months of fiscal 2017. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were
267,750
shares and
265,750
shares of restricted stock, respectively available for future awards under the Plans.

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the unrecognized compensation expense was
$687,000
and
$1.3 million
, respectively, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements under the Plans, and reported as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
1.2 years
and
1.9 years
, respectively. Similar to stock options, a forfeiture rate of
20 percent
has been applied for the restricted stock compensation expense calculations in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017.
Stock Option Plan.
The Corporation established the Stock Option Plan for key employees and eligible directors under which options to acquire up to
352,500
shares of common stock may be granted. Under the Stock Option Plan, stock options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of the grant. Stock options typically vest over a
five
-year period on a pro-rata basis as long as the employee or director remains in service to the Corporation. The stock options are exercisable after vesting for up to the remaining term of the original grant. The maximum term of the stock options granted is
10 years
. As of March 31, 2018,
no
stock options remain available for future grants under the Stock Option Plan, which expired in November 2013.
The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions. The expected volatility was based on implied volatility from historical common stock closing prices for the prior
84
months. The expected dividend yield was based on the most recent quarterly dividend on an annualized basis. The expected term was based on the historical experience of stock option grants and is reviewed annually. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury note rate with a term similar to the underlying stock option on the particular grant date.
41
For the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017, there was
no
activity in the Stock Option Plan. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017, there was no activity in the Stock Option Plan, except forfeitures of
50,000
shares and
12,500
shares, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were
no
stock options available for future grants under the Stock Option Plan.

Note 11: Offsetting Derivative and Other Financial Instruments
The Corporation’s derivative transactions are generally governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements and similar arrangements, which include provisions governing the setoff of assets and liabilities between the parties. When the Corporation has more than one outstanding derivative transaction with a single counterparty, the setoff provisions contained within these agreements generally allow the non-defaulting party the right to reduce its liability to the defaulting party by amounts eligible for setoff, including the collateral received as well as eligible offsetting transactions with that counterparty, irrespective of the currency, place of payment, or booking office. The Corporation’s policy is to present its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition on a net basis. The derivative assets and liabilities are comprised of mandatory loan sale commitments, TBA MBS trades and option contracts.
The following tables present the gross and net amounts of derivative assets and liabilities and other financial instruments as reported in the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, and the gross amount not offset in the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated.

Note 12: Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax income rate from a maximum of
35 percent
to a flat
21 percent
. The corporate tax rate reduction was effective January 1, 2018. Since the Corporation has a fiscal year end of June 30
th
, the reduced corporate income tax rate for its fiscal year 2018 will result in the application of a blended federal statutory income tax rate of
28.06 percent
, which is based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and corresponding number of days in the fiscal year before and after enactment, and then a flat 21 percent tax rate thereafter.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Corporation uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. At June 30, 2017, the Corporation’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were determined based on the then-current enacted federal tax rate of
35 percent
. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate under the Tax Act, the Corporation revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017. Deferred tax assets and liabilities expected to be realized in fiscal year 2018 were re-measured using the aforementioned blended rate. All remaining deferred tax assets and liabilities were re-measured using the new statutory federal rate of
21 percent
. These re-measurements collectively resulted in a discrete tax expense of
$1.9 million
that was recognized during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The Corporation’s revaluation of its deferred tax assets and liabilities is subject to further clarification of the Tax Act and refinements of its estimates through June 30, 2018. As a result, the actual impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax expense due to the Tax Act may vary from the amounts estimated.
45
The estimated combined federal and state statutory tax rates, before discrete items, for the remainder of fiscal 2018 and for fiscal 2019 are as follows:
Statutory Tax Rates
Q4FY2018
FY2019
Federal Tax Rate
28.06%
21.00%
State Tax Rate
10.84%
10.84%
Combined Statutory Tax Rate
(1)
35.86%
29.56%
(1)
The combined statutory tax rate is net of the federal tax benefit for the state tax deduction.
The Corporation’s effective tax rate may differ from the estimated statutory tax rates described above due to discrete items such as further adjustments to net deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits derived from stock option exercises and non-taxable earnings from bank owned life insurance, among other items.
Note 13: Subsequent Event
On April 26, 2018, the Corporation announced that the Corporation’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.14
per share. Shareholders of the Corporation’s common stock at the close of business on May 17, 2018 will be entitled to receive the cash dividend. The cash dividend will be payable on June 7, 2018.
On April 26, 2018, the Corporation announced that the Corporation’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of the Corporation’s common stock, or approximately
373,000
shares. The Corporation will purchase the shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions over a one-year period depending on market conditions, the capital requirements of the Corporation, and available cash that can be allocated to the stock repurchase program, among other considerations. The April 2018 stock repurchase plan will become effective once the Corporation has completed the June 2017 stock repurchase plan by purchasing the remaining
40,993
shares available as of March 31, 2018 under the June 2017 plan.
ITEM 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was organized in January 1996 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("the Bank") upon the Bank’s conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank (“Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on June 27, 1996. The Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). At March 31, 2018, the Corporation had total assets of $1.18 billion, total deposits of $922.5 million and total stockholders’ equity of $120.6 million. The Corporation has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiaries. As used in this report, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Corporation” refer to Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Bank, founded in 1956, is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Riverside, California. The Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the insurer of its deposits. The Bank’s deposits are federally insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System since 1956.
The Corporation’s business consists of community banking activities and mortgage banking activities, conducted by Provident Bank and Provident Bank Mortgage ("PBM"), a division of the Bank. Community banking activities primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Bank’s full service offices and investing those funds in single-family loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans, consumer loans and other real estate loans. The Bank also offers business checking accounts, other business banking services, and services loans for others. Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination, purchase and sale of mortgage loans secured primarily by single-family residences. The Bank currently operates 14 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (commonly known as the Inland Empire). Provident Bank Mortgage operates two wholesale loan production offices: one in Pleasanton and one in Rancho Cucamonga, California; and nine retail loan production offices located throughout California. The Corporation’s revenues are derived principally from interest on its loans and investment securities and fees generated through its community banking and mortgage banking activities. There are various risks inherent in the Corporation’s business including,
46
among others, the general business environment, interest rates, the California real estate market, the demand for loans, the prepayment of loans, the repurchase of loans previously sold to investors, the secondary market conditions to sell loans, competitive conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, fraud and other risks.
The Corporation began to distribute quarterly cash dividends in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. On January 30, 2018, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share for the Corporation’s shareholders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2018, which was paid on March 13, 2018. Future declarations or payments of dividends will be subject to the consideration of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, which will take into account the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, tax considerations, capital requirements, industry standards, legal restrictions, economic conditions and other factors, including the regulatory restrictions which affect the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation. Under Delaware law, dividends may be paid either out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current fiscal year and/or the preceding fiscal year in which the dividend is declared. For further discussion, see Note 13 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 Corporation. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying selected Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Safe-Harbor Statement
Certain matters in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Form 10-Q contains statements that the Corporation believes are “forward-looking statements.” These statements relate to the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements the Corporation may make. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Corporation. There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the residential and commercial real estate markets and may lead to increased losses and non-performing assets and may result in our allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses and require us to materially increase our reserve; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes, land and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; secondary market conditions for loans and our ability to sell loans in the secondary market; results of examinations of the Corporation by the FRB or of the Bank by the OCC or other regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to enter into a formal enforcement action or to increase our allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or impose additional requirements and restrictions on us, any of which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including changes in regulatory policies and principles, including the interpretation of regulatory capital or other rules, including as a result of Basel III; the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd Frank Act") and the implementing regulations; the availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; adverse changes in the securities markets; our ability to attract and retain deposits; increases in premiums for deposit insurance; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events, failures or interruptions in, or attacks on, our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; our ability to implement our branch expansion strategy; our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we have acquired or may in the future acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto; our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the availability of resources to address changes in laws,
47
rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; our ability to pay dividends on our common stock; adverse changes in the securities markets; the inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; war or terrorist activities; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and other risks detailed in this report and in the Corporation’s other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. These developments could have an adverse impact on our financial position and our results of operations. Forward-looking statements are based upon management’s beliefs and assumptions at the time they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements included in this document or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those contained in such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this document might not occur, and you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Corporation’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Corporation's critical accounting policies are described in the Corporation's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no significant changes during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to the critical accounting policies as described in the Corporation's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2017.
Executive Summary and Operating Strategy
Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B., established in 1956, is a financial services company committed to serving consumers and small to mid-sized businesses in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Bank conducts its business operations as Provident Bank, Provident Bank Mortgage, a division of the Bank, and through its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp. The business activities of the Corporation, primarily through the Bank and its subsidiary, consist of community banking, mortgage banking and, to a lesser degree, investment services for customers and trustee services on behalf of the Bank.
Community banking operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Corporation’s full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate loans. Also, to a lesser extent, the Corporation makes construction, commercial business, consumer and other mortgage loans. The primary source of income in community banking is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and investment securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. Additionally, certain fees are collected from depositors, such as returned check fees, deposit account service charges, ATM fees, IRA/KEOGH fees, safe deposit box fees, wire transfer fees and overdraft protection fees, among other fees. Community banking operations also include providing investment services which primarily consist of selling alternative investment products such as annuities and mutual funds to the Bank’s depositors.
During the next three years, subject to market conditions, the Corporation intends to improve its community banking business by moderately increasing total assets; by increasing single-family mortgage loans and higher yielding preferred loans (i.e., multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans). In addition, the Corporation intends to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts. This strategy is intended to improve core revenue through a higher net interest margin and ultimately, coupled with the growth of the Corporation, an increase in net interest income. While the Corporation’s long-term strategy is for moderate growth, management recognizes that growth may not occur as a result of unfavorable economic conditions.

Mortgage banking operations primarily consist of the origination, purchase and sale of mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. The primary sources of income in mortgage banking are gain on sale of loans and certain fees collected from borrowers in connection with the loan origination process. The Corporation will continue to modify its operations, including the number of mortgage banking personnel, in response to the rapidly changing mortgage banking environment. Changes may include a different product mix, changes to underwriting standards, variations in its operating expenses or a combination of these and other changes.
Provident Financial Corp performs trustee services for the Bank’s real estate secured loan transactions and has in the past held, and may in the future hold, real estate for investment. Trustee services contribute a very small percentage of gross revenue.
There are a number of risks associated with the business activities of the Corporation, many of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, including: changes in accounting principles, laws, regulation, interest rates and the economy, among others. The Corporation attempts to mitigate many of these risks through prudent banking practices, such as interest rate risk management, credit risk management, operational risk management, and liquidity risk management. The California economic environment presents heightened risk for the Corporation primarily with respect to real estate values and loan delinquencies. Since the majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate located within California, significant declines in the value of California real estate may also inhibit the Corporation’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate. In addition, the Corporation’s operating costs may increase significantly as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act. Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Corporation.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Commitments and Derivative Financial Instruments.
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, in the form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, loan sale agreements to third parties and option contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in entering into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For a discussion on commitments and derivative financial instruments, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contractual Obligations.
The following table summarizes the Corporation’s contractual obligations at March 31, 2018 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on the Corporation’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods:

In addition to the off-balance sheet financing arrangements and contractual obligations mentioned above, the Corporation has derivatives and other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks as described in Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Total assets decreased $24.0 million, or two percent, to $1.18 billion at March 31, 2018 from $1.20 billion at June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in cash and cash equivalents, loans held for investment and loans held for sale, partly offset by an increase in investment securities held to maturity.
Total cash and cash equivalents, primarily excess cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, decreased $22.2 million, or 30 percent, to $50.6 million at March 31, 2018 from $72.8 million at June 30, 2017. The decrease in the total cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to the utilization of cash to fund the increase in investment securities held to maturity.
Investment securities (held to maturity and available for sale) increased $33.9 million, or 49 percent, to $103.7 million at March 31, 2018 from $69.8 million at June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily the result of purchases of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity, partly offset by scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. For further analysis on investment securities, see Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
Loans held for investment decreased $10.7 million to $894.2 million at March 31, 2018 from $904.9 million at June 30, 2017. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation originated $126.0 million of loans held for investment, consisting primarily of single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate loans. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation purchased $3.1 million of loans held for investment, primarily multi-family loans. Total loan principal payments during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were $143.9 million, down five percent from $151.5 million during the comparable period in fiscal 2017, due primarily to lower loan refinance activity. The balance of preferred loans decreased $6.1 million, or one percent, to $579.0 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $585.1 million at June 30, 2017, net of undisbursed loan funds of $5.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, and represented 65 percent and 64 percent of loans held for investment, respectively. The balance of single-family loans held for investment decreased $5.3 million, or two percent, to $316.9 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $322.2 million at June 30, 2017, and represented 35 percent and 36 percent of loans held for investment, respectively.
The tables below describe the geographic dispersion of gross real estate secured loans held for investment at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, as a percentage of the total dollar amount outstanding:

Loans held for sale decreased $26.7 million, or 23 percent, to $89.8 million at March 31, 2018 from $116.5 million at June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to lower loans originated and purchased for sale and the timing difference between loan fundings and loan sale settlements. Total loans originated and purchased for sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $220.2 million, down $185.7 million or 46 percent from $405.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Total deposits decreased $4.0 million to $922.5 million at March 31, 2018 from $926.5 million at June 30, 2017. Transaction accounts increased $18.4 million, or three percent, to $677.0 million at March 31, 2018 from $658.6 million at June 30, 2017, while time deposits decreased $22.4 million, or eight percent, to $245.5 million at March 31, 2018 from $267.9 million at June 30, 2017. The change in deposit mix was consistent with the Corporation’s marketing strategy to promote transaction accounts and the strategic decision to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts in its deposit base and decrease the percentage of time deposits by competing less aggressively for time deposits.
Total borrowings decreased $15.0 million, or 12 percent, to $111.2 million at March 31, 2018 as compared to $126.2 million at June 30, 2017, due to the maturity of short-term borrowings. One long-term borrowing of $10.0 million matured and was renewed in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Total borrowings are primarily comprised of long-term FHLB - San Francisco advances for interest rate risk management purposes.
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $7.6 million, or six percent, to $120.6 million at March 31, 2018 from $128.2 million at June 30, 2017, primarily as a result of stock repurchases totaling $6.6 million (see Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”) and $3.2 million of quarterly cash dividends paid to shareholders, partly offset by net income of $731,000 and the amortization of stock-based compensation benefits during the first nine months of fiscal 2018.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
The Corporation’s net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $1.7 million, an increase of $588,000, or 51 percent, as compared to the net income of $1.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income, an increase in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses, and decreases in salaries and employee benefits and sales and marketing expenses, partly offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and an increase in other non-interest expenses. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation’s net income was $731,000, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 83 percent, from net income of $4.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. Compared to the same period last year, the decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans, an increase in other non-interest expenses and the deferred tax asset revaluation by Tax Cuts and Job Act ("the Tax Act") , partly offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense. The first nine months of fiscal 2018 results were impacted by the net tax charge of $1.9 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, from the net deferred tax assets revaluation required by the Tax Act; and a $3.4 million litigation settlement expense accruals (recorded within other non-interest expenses) which, net of tax benefit, reduced net results by approximately $(0.24) per diluted share.
The Corporation’s efficiency ratio, defined as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, improved slightly to 87 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 89 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation’s efficiency ratio increased to 93 percent from 87 percent for the same period of fiscal 2017.
51
Return on average assets increased 20 basis points to 0.59 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 0.39 percent in the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, return on average assets was 0.08 percent, down 39 basis points from 0.47 percent in the same period last year.
Return on average stockholders' equity increased to 5.76 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.46 percent in the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, return on average stockholders' equity was 0.78 percent compared to 4.26 percent for the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were $0.23, a 64 percent increase from $0.14 in the same period last year. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, diluted earnings per share were $0.09, an 83 percent decrease from $0.52 in the same period last year.
Net Interest Income:
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Net interest income increased by $477,000 or six percent to $9.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $8.6 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2017, as a result of a higher net interest margin, partly offset by a lower average interest-earning assets balance. The net interest margin increased 23 basis points to 3.23 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.00 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017, primarily due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 22 basis points to 3.78 percent from 3.56 percent in the same quarter last year, while the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by two basis points to 0.62 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to 0.64 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase in the average yield of interest-earning assets was primarily due to increases in the average yield of loans receivable, investment securities and interest-earning deposits, partly offset by a decrease in the average yield of FHLB - San Francisco stock. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $23.8 million, or two percent, to $1.13 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $1.15 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2017, primarily reflecting decreases in average loans receivable and interest earning deposits, partly offset by an increase in the average balance of investment securities.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Net interest income increased $173,000, or one percent, to $27.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $26.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2017, due to a higher net interest margin, partly offset by a lower average earning assets balance. The net interest margin was 3.16 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, up 10 basis points from 3.06 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017 due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets increased by nine basis points to 3.72 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 3.63 percent in the comparable period in fiscal 2017, while the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by two basis points to 0.62 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 0.64 percent in the same period last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $30.0 million, or three percent, to $1.14 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $1.17 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2017, primarily reflecting decreases in average loans receivable and interest earning deposits, partly offset by an increase in the average balance of investment securities.
Interest Income:
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total interest income increased by $412,000, or four percent, to $10.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $10.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher interest income on loans receivable and investment securities.
Interest income on loans receivable increased $229,000, or two percent, to $9.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $9.7 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2017. This increase was attributable to a higher average loan yield, partly offset by a lower average loans receivable balance. The average loan yield, including loans held for sale, during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 increased 15 basis points to 4.13 percent from 3.98 percent during the same quarter last year, primarily due to an increase in the average yield of loans held for investment and an increase in the average yield of loans held for sale combined with a lower percentage of loans held for sale to total loans receivable. The average balance of loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased by $12.4 million, or one percent, to $961.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $974.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to a decrease in average loans held for sale attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking activity, partly offset by an increase in average loans held for investment.
52
Loans receivable is comprised of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. The average balance of loans held for investment increased $19.1 million, or two percent, to $888.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $869.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The average yield on the loans held for investment increased by 13 basis points to 4.13 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 4.00 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The average balance of loans held for sale, however, decreased $31.4 million, or 30 percent, to $73.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $104.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The average yield on the loans held for sale increased by 26 basis points to 4.13 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 3.87 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2017.
Interest income from investment securities increased $240,000, or 169 percent, to $382,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $142,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 2017. This increase was attributable to a higher average balance and, to a lesser extent, a higher average yield. The average balance of investment securities increased $52.1 million, or 110 percent, to $99.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $47.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in the average balance of investment securities was primarily the result of purchases of mortgage-backed securities, partly offset by scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities. The average investment securities yield increased 34 basis points to 1.54 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 1.20 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in the average investment securities yield was primarily attributable to the purchases of investment securities which had higher average yields than the existing portfolio and the repricing of adjustable mortgage-backed securities to higher interest rates, partly offset by accelerated amortization of purchase premiums resulting from accelerated principal payments.
The FHLB – San Francisco cash dividend received in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $144,000, down $40,000 or 22 percent from $184,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The average yield decreased 199 basis points to 7.10 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 9.09 percent in the comparable quarter last year.
Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, was $233,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, down $17,000 or seven percent from $250,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease was due to a lower average balance, partly offset by a higher average yield in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the same quarter last year. The average balance of the interest-earning deposits in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $61.6 million, a decrease of $63.6 million or 51 percent, from $125.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in the average balance of interest-earning deposits was primarily due to the utilization of funds for the increase in investment securities and the decrease in deposits. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits increased 71 basis points to 1.51 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 0.80 percent in the comparable quarter last year, due primarily to the increases in the target federal funds rate over the last year.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total interest income decreased by $85,000 to $31.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $31.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest income on loans receivable and FHLB - San Francisco stock, partly offset by higher interest income on investment securities and interest-earning deposits.
Loans receivable interest income decreased $475,000, or two percent, to $29.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $30.3 million for the same period of fiscal 2017. The decrease was attributable to a lower average loan balance, partly offset by a higher average loan yield in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 in comparison to the same period last year. The average balance of loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased $47.7 million or five percent to $987.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $1.03 billion in the same period of fiscal 2017. The average loan yield, including loans held for sale, during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 increased 13 basis points to 4.03 percent from 3.90 percent in the same period last year.
The average balance of loans held for investment increased $39.1 million, or five percent, to $895.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $856.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The average yield on the loans held for investment increased by eight basis points to 4.04 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 3.96 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. The average balance of loans held for sale decreased by $86.7 million, or 49 percent, to $91.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $178.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The average yield on the loans held for sale increased by 34 basis points to 3.97 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 3.63 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017.
Interest income from investment securities increased $604,000, or 171 percent, to $958,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $354,000 for the same period of fiscal 2017. This increase was attributable to a higher average balance and, to lesser extent, a higher average yield. The average balance of investment securities increased $40.2 million, or 85 percent, to $87.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $47.5 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase in average balance of investment securities was primarily the result of purchases of mortgage-backed securities, partly offset by scheduled and accelerated
53
principal payments on mortgage-backed securities. The average investment securities yield increased 47 basis points to 1.46 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 0.99 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase in the average investment securities yield was primarily attributable to the purchases of investment securities which had higher average yields than the existing portfolio and the repricing of adjustable mortgage-backed securities to higher interest rates, partly offset by accelerated amortization of purchase premiums resulting from accelerated principal payments.
The FHLB – San Francisco cash dividend received in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $428,000, down $399,000 or 48 percent from $827,000 in the same period of fiscal 2017. The cash dividend received in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 included a special cash dividend received in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, not replicated in the same period of fiscal 2018. The average yield decreased to 7.04 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to 13.62 percent in the comparable period last year.
Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, was $591,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, up $185,000 or 46 percent from $406,000 in the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase was due to a higher average yield, partly offset by a lower average balance in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to the same period last year. The average yield increased 69 basis points to 1.36 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from 0.67 percent in the comparable period last year, due primarily to the recent increases in the target federal funds rate. The average balance of the interest-earning deposits in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $57.3 million, a decrease of $22.5 million or 28 percent, from $79.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The decrease in interest-earning deposits was primarily due to the utilization of funds for the increase in investment securities and the decrease in deposits.

Total interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was relatively unchanged at $1.6 million for both the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Interest expense on deposits for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was $856,000 as compared to $920,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $64,000, or seven percent. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a lower average balance and, to a lesser extent, a lower average cost of deposits. The average balance of deposits decreased $16.0 million, or two percent, to $912.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $928.0 million during the same period last year. The decrease in the average balance was primarily attributable to a decrease in time deposits, partly offset by an increase in transaction accounts. The average cost of deposits decreased two basis points to 0.38 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 0.40 percent during the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was attributable primarily to a lower percentage of time deposits to the total deposit balance. Strategically, the Corporation has been promoting transaction accounts and competing less aggressively for time deposits. The Corporation believes the increase in transaction accounts was also attributable to the impact of depositors seeking an alternative to lower yielding time deposits in anticipation of higher interest rates. The average balance of transaction accounts to total deposits in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was 73 percent, compared to 69 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017.
Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 remained relatively unchanged, decreasing $1,000 to $712,000 from $713,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was the result of a lower average cost, partly offset by a slightly higher average balance. The average cost of borrowings decreased four basis points to 2.56 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from 2.60 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average cost of advances was primarily due to the maturity of a long-term advance which was renewed at a lower cost in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The average balance of borrowings increased $1.3 million, or one percent, to $112.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $111.3 million during the same period last year.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total interest expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $4.8 million as compared to $5.1 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $258,000, or five percent. This decrease was attributable to a lower interest expense on deposits, particularly in time deposits.
Interest expense on deposits for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was $2.6 million as compared to $2.9 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $283,000, or 10 percent. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a lower average balance and, to a lesser extent, a lower average cost of deposits. The average balance of deposits decreased $16.3 million, or two percent, to $917.1 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from $933.4 million during the same period last year. The decrease in the average balance was primarily attributable to a decrease in time deposits, partly offset by an increase in transaction accounts. The average cost of deposits decreased four basis points to 0.38 percent during the first nine
54
months of fiscal 2018 from 0.42 percent during the same period last year. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was attributable primarily to a lower average cost of time deposits and a lower percentage of time deposits to the total deposit balance. The average balance of transaction accounts to total deposits in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was 72 percent, compared to 68 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017.
Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 increased $25,000 or one percent to $2.2 million as compared to the same period last year. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was the result of a higher average cost, partly offset by a lower average balance. The average cost of borrowings increased 17 basis points to 2.57 percent for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from 2.40 percent in the same period last year. The increase in average cost of advances was primarily due to the maturity of short-term borrowings with a much lower average cost than long-term FHLB borrowings. The average balance of borrowings decreased by $6.5 million, or five percent, to $112.8 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from $119.3 million during the same period last year, primarily due to the maturity of the short-term borrowings.

Recovery From the Allowance for Loan Losses:
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Corporation recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $505,000, compared to a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $165,000 in the same period of fiscal 2017. The recovery from the allowance for loan losses was primarily attributable to the improving risk profile of the loan portfolio as reflected in the asset quality ratios and loan balances shifting to lower risk categories from higher risk categories. Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $2.0 million, or 21 percent, to $7.6 million, or 0.64 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2018, compared to $9.6 million, or 0.80 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2017.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $347,000, compared to a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $665,000 in the same period of fiscal 2017. The recovery from the allowance for loan losses was primarily attributable to the improving risk profile of the loan portfolio as reflected in the asset quality ratios and loan balances shifting to lower risk categories from higher risk categories.
The allowance for loan losses was determined through quantitative and qualitative adjustments including the Bank's charge-off experience and reflects the impact on loans held for investment from the current general economic conditions of the U.S. and California economies such as the improving unemployment rate and higher home prices in California. See related discussion of “Asset Quality” below.
At March 31, 2018, the allowance for loan losses was $7.5 million, comprised of collectively evaluated allowances of $7.4 million and individually evaluated allowances of $176,000; in comparison to the allowance for loan losses of $8.0 million at June 30, 2017, comprised of collectively evaluated allowances of $7.9 million and individually evaluated allowances of $101,000. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was 0.84 percent at March 31, 2018, down from 0.88 percent at June 30, 2017. Management considers, based on currently available information, the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment. For further analysis on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-Interest Income:
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total non-interest income decreased $1.6 million, or 24 percent, to $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $6.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the net gain on sale of loans during the current quarter as compared to the comparable period last year.
The net gain on sale of loans decreased $1.8 million, or 33 percent, to $3.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $5.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2017 reflecting the impact of a lower loan sale volume and average loan sale margin. Total loan sale volume, which includes the net change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, decreased $106.7 million or 31 percent to $235.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 from $342.2 million in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in loan sale volume was attributable primarily to the decrease in refinance and purchase activity as compared to the same period last year. Refinance loans as a percentage of total loans originated by PBM during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were 37 percent, down from 38 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. Retail loans as a percentage of total loans originated for sale by PBM during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were 59 percent, up from 58 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. The average loan sale margin for PBM decreased five basis points to 1.53 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from 1.58 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. The gain on sale of loans includes an unfavorable fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments (commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities, and option contracts) pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825 that amounted to a net loss of $844,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to a favorable fair-value adjustment net gain of $635,000 in the same period last year. The fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments is consistent with the Bank's mortgage banking activity and the volatility of mortgage interest rates. As of March 31, 2018, the fair value of derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825 was $2.8 million, compared to $5.0 million at June 30, 2017 and $4.7 million at March 31, 2017.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total non-interest income decreased $6.6 million, or 28 percent, to $17.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 from $23.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans.
59
The net gain on sale of loans decreased $7.1 million, or 36 percent, to $12.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $19.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2017 reflecting the impact of a lower loan sale volume, partly offset by a slightly higher average loan sale margin. Total loan sale volume was $915.4 million in the first nine months ended March 31, 2018, down $530.3 million, or 37 percent, from $1.45 billion in the comparable period last year. The decrease in loan sale volume was attributable primarily to a decrease in the refinance and the purchase market as compared to the same period last year. Refinance loans as a percentage of total loans originated by PBM during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were 41 percent, down from 52 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. Retail loans as a percentage of total loans originated for sale by PBM during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were 56 percent, up from 51 percent in the same period of fiscal 2017. The average loan sale margin for PBM during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was 1.39 percent, up two basis points from 1.37 percent for the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase in the average loan sale margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to more favorable loan sale market conditions, a lower percentage of refinance originations and higher percentage of retail originations. The gain on sale of loans includes an unfavorable fair-value adjustment on derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825, a net loss of $2.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 as compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustment, a net loss of $3.7 million, in the same period last year.
Non-Interest Expense:
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total non-interest expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was $12.4 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 10 percent, as compared to $13.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense and sales and marketing expense, partly offset by an increase in other non-interest expense.
Total salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $1.6 million, or 15 percent, to $8.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $10.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation costs and PBM staff reductions related to lower mortgage banking loan originations. Total loan originations and purchases (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated and purchased for sale) decreased $106.4 million, or 28 percent, to $269.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $375.9 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2017.
Total other non-interest expenses increased $373,000, or 49 percent, to $1.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 from $759,000 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase in other non-interest expenses was primarily due to the $668,000 reversal of loan origination liability accruals in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 which was not replicated this quarter and lower loan origination costs attributable to the lower loan origination volume.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total non-interest expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was $41.4 million, a decrease of $2.7 million as compared to $44.1 million in the same period ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, partly offset by an increase in other non-interest expense.
Total salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $5.3 million, or 17 percent, to $26.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $32.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation costs and PBM staff reductions related to lower mortgage banking loan originations. Total loan originations and purchases (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated and purchased for sale) decreased $613.4 million, or 36 percent, to $1.08 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $1.69 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2017.
Total other non-interest expenses increased $2.9 million, or 68 percent, to $6.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 from $4.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2017. The increase in other non-interest expenses was primarily attributable to litigation settlement expense accruals of $3.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018, up from the litigation expense accruals of $235,000 in the same period last year, partly offset by lower loan origination costs. The litigation settlement expense accruals in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 related to a lawsuit which was settled on September 12, 2017 and two lawsuits which were settled on December 18, 2017. No additional contingencies exist regarding these matters although the settlement agreements remain subject to court approval and other customary conditions. For additional information see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”
Provision for Income Taxes:
The income tax provision reflects accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, adjusted for the effect of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes, such as non-deductible stock-based compensation, non-taxable earnings from bank-owned life insurance
60
policies and certain California tax-exempt loans, among other adjustments. Therefore, there are fluctuations in the effective income tax rate from period to period based on the relationship of net permanent differences to income before tax.
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
The Corporation’s provision for income taxes was $667,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2018, down three percent from the $690,000 provision for income taxes in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate, partly offset by higher net income before taxes. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was 27.8 percent, down from 37.6 percent in the same quarter last year. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 reflects its current income tax obligations.
The Tax Act provides a reduced federal corporate income tax rate for the Corporation, from a maximum 35 percent to a flat 21 percent as of January 1, 2018. However, the Corporation’s fiscal year runs through June 30
th
of each year. As a result, the Corporation will be required to use a blended statutory corporate income tax rate for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2018 and will not realize the full impact of the reduced federal corporate income tax rate until fiscal 2019 which begins on July 1, 2018. The estimated combined federal and state statutory tax rates, before discrete items, for the remainder of fiscal 2018 and for fiscal 2019 are as follows:
Statutory Tax Rates
Q4FY2018
FY2019
Federal Tax Rate
28.06%
21.00%
State Tax Rate
10.84%
10.84%
Combined Statutory Tax Rate
(1)
35.86%
29.56%
(1)
The combined statutory tax rate is net of the federal tax benefit for the state tax deduction.
The Corporation’s effective tax rate may differ from the estimated statutory tax rates described above due to discrete items such as further adjustments to net deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits derived from stock option exercises and non-taxable earnings from bank owned life insurance, among other items.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
The Corporation’s provision for income taxes was $2.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, down 17 percent from the $3.0 million provision for income taxes in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower net income before taxes and the reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate, partly offset by a tax charge of $1.9 million resulting from the net deferred tax asset revaluation as a result of the Tax Act. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was 77.6 percent as compared to 41.8 percent in the same period last year. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 reflects its current income tax obligations.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and fair value adjustments, consisting of loans with collateral located in California, was $6.8 million at March 31, 2018, down $1.2 million or 15 percent, from $8.0 million at June 30, 2017. Non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment at March 31, 2018 was 0.76 percent, down from 0.88 percent at June 30, 2017. The non-performing loans at March 31, 2018 were primarily comprised of 24 single-family loans ($6.7 million) and one commercial business loan ($58,000). This compares to the $8.0 million of non-performing loans at June 30, 2017 which were primarily comprised of 27 single-family loans ($7.7 million); one commercial real estate loan ($201,000) and one commercial business loan ($65,000). No interest accruals were made for loans that were past due 90 days or more or if the loans were deemed non-performing.
As of March 31, 2018, total restructured loans increased $1.8 million, or 50 percent, to $5.4 million from $3.6 million at June 30, 2017 due to two newly modified loans ($2.2 million). At March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, $3.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of these restructured loans were classified as non-performing. As of March 31, 2018, $3.7 million, or 68 percent, of the restructured loans have a current payment status, consistent with their modified payment terms; this compares to $1.7 million, or 46 percent, of restructured loans that had a current payment status, consistent with their modified payment terms as of June 30, 2017.
61
Real estate owned was $787,000 at March 31, 2018, down $828,000 or 51 percent from $1.6 million at June 30, 2017. The real estate owned at March 31, 2018 was comprised of two single-family properties located in California acquired during the current fiscal quarter.
Non-performing assets, which includes non-performing loans and real estate owned, decreased $2.0 million or 21 percent to $7.6 million or 0.64 percent of total assets at March 31, 2018 from $9.6 million or 0.80 percent of total assets at June 30, 2017. Restructured loans which are performing in accordance with their modified terms and are not otherwise classified non-accrual are not included in non-performing assets. For further analysis on non-performing loans and restructured loans, see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Occasionally, the Corporation is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or other institutional investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or if one of the parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 90-days past due within 120 days of the loan funding date. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Corporation repurchased two loans totaling $602,000 from an investor pursuant to the recourse/repurchase covenants contained in the loan sale agreement. This compares to the first nine months of fiscal 2017 when the Corporation repurchased one loan, totaling $389,000, from an investor pursuant to the recourse/repurchase covenants contained in the loan sale agreements, which was subsequently paid off. Additional repurchase requests may have been settled that did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself. The primary reasons for honoring the repurchase requests are borrower fraud, undisclosed liabilities on borrower applications, and documentation, verification and appraisal disputes. For the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017, the Corporation recorded recourse recoveries of $22,000 and $39,000, respectively, and settled $11,000 in claims in lieu of loan repurchases in fiscal 2017. As of March 31, 2018, the total recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase was $283,000, down from $305,000 at June 30, 2017 and from $403,000 at March 31, 2017.
Beginning in 2008, in connection with the downturn in the real estate market, the Corporation implemented tighter underwriting standards to reduce potential loan repurchase requests, including requiring higher credit scores, generally lower debt-to-income ratios, and verification of income and assets, among other criteria. Despite management’s diligent estimate of the recourse reserve, the Corporation is still subject to risks and uncertainties associated with potentially higher loan repurchase claims from investors, and there are no assurances that the current recourse reserve will be sufficient to cover all future recourse claims.
The following table shows the summary of the recourse liability for the quarters and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017:

A decline in real estate values subsequent to the time of origination of the Corporation’s real estate secured loans could result in higher loan delinquency levels, foreclosures, provisions for loan losses and net charge-offs. Real estate values and real estate markets are beyond the Corporation’s control and are generally affected by changes in national, regional or local economic conditions and other factors. These factors include fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and policies and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and national disasters particular to California where substantially all of the Corporation’s real estate collateral is located. If real estate values decline from the levels described in the following tables (which were derived at the time of loan origination), the value of the real estate collateral securing the Corporation’s loans as set forth in the table could be significantly overstated. The Corporation’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be diminished and it would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans. The Corporation generally does not update the loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) on its loans held for investment by obtaining new appraisals or broker price opinions (nor does the Corporation intend to do so in the future as a result of the costs and inefficiencies associated with completing the task) unless a specific loan has demonstrated deterioration or the Corporation receives a loan modification request from a borrower (in which case individually evaluated allowances are established, if required). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the LTV ratios disclosed in the following tables may be
62
understated or overstated in comparison to their current LTV ratios as a result of their year of origination, the subsequent general decline or improvement in real estate values that has occurred and the specific location and condition of the individual properties. The Corporation has not quantified the current LTVs of its loans held for investment nor the impact the decline or improvement in real estate values has had on the original LTVs of its loans held for investment.

Based on borrower's FICO scores at the time of loan origination. The FICO score represents the creditworthiness of a borrower based on the borrower’s credit history, as reported by an independent third party. A higher FICO score indicates a greater degree of creditworthiness. Bank regulators have issued guidance stating that a FICO score of 660 and below is indicative of a “subprime” borrower.
(3)
LTV is the ratio derived by dividing the current loan balance by the lower of the original appraised value or purchase price of the real estate collateral.
(4)
Seasoning describes the number of years since the funding date of the loan.
(5)
Stated income is defined as borrower stated income on his/her loan application which was not subject to verification during the loan origination process.

The reset of payment terms on adjustable rate mortgage loans (primarily interest only single-family loans) to a fully amortizing status from their interest-only period may create a payment shock for some of the Corporation’s borrowers as the loans adjust to a higher monthly payment consisting of both principal and interest, which may result in an increase in non-performing loans. To date, the Corporation has not experienced an elevated level of delinquencies or defaults related to payment shocks.

Loans that the Corporation has originated for sale are primarily sold on a servicing released basis. Clear ownership is conveyed to the investor by endorsing the original note in favor of the investor; transferring the servicing to a new servicer consistent with investor instructions; communicating the servicing transfer to the borrower as required by law; and sending the loan file and collateral instruments electronically to the investor contemporaneous with receiving the cash proceeds from the sale of the loan. Additionally, the Corporation registers the change of ownership in the mortgage electronic registration system known as MERS as required by the contractual terms of the loan sale agreement. Also, the Corporation retains an imaged copy of the entire loan file and collateral instruments as an abundance of caution in the event questions arise that can only be answered by reviewing the loan file. Additionally, the Corporation does not originate or sponsor mortgage-backed securities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation’s primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from the sale of loans originated and purchased for sale, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, FHLB – San Francisco advances, access to the discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and access to a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and loan sales are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The primary investing activity of the Corporation is the origination and purchase of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017, the Corporation originated and purchased $1.07 billion and $1.69 billion of loans, respectively. The total loans sold in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and 2017 were $968.3 million and $1.58 billion, respectively. At March 31, 2018, the Corporation had loan origination commitments totaling $67.9 million, undisbursed lines of credit totaling $1.1 million and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $5.6 million. The Corporation anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments.
The Corporation’s primary financing activity is gathering deposits. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the net decrease in deposits was $4.0 million, primarily due to non-renewing scheduled maturities in time deposits, partly offset by the increase in transaction accounts. The decrease in time deposits and the increase in transaction accounts were consistent with the Corporation's operating strategy. As of March 31, 2018, total deposits were $922.5 million. At March 31, 2018, time deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less were $108.5 million and total time deposits with a principal amount of $100,000 or higher were $124.0 million. Historically, the Corporation has been able to retain a significant percentage of its time deposits as they mature.
The Corporation must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Corporation generally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2018, total cash and cash equivalents were $50.6 million, or four percent of total assets. Depending on market conditions and the pricing of deposit products and FHLB – San Francisco advances, the Bank may rely on FHLB – San Francisco advances for part of its liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2018, total borrowings were $111.2 million and the financing availability at FHLB – San Francisco was limited to 35 percent of total assets; the remaining borrowing facility was $286.1 million and the remaining available collateral was $499.0 million. In addition, the Bank has secured a $79.7 million discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, collateralized by investment securities with a fair market value of $84.8 million. As of March 31, 2018, the Bank also has a borrowing arrangement in the form of a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank for $17.0 million that matures on June 30, 2018 which the Bank intends to renew upon maturity. The Bank had no advances under its correspondent bank or discount window facility as of March 31, 2018.
Regulations require thrifts to maintain adequate liquidity to assure safe and sound operations. The Bank’s average liquidity ratio (defined as the ratio of average qualifying liquid assets to average deposits and borrowings) for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 decreased to 16.4 percent from 22.1 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
The Bank, as a federally-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the OCC. Under the OCC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. In addition, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. as a savings and loan holding company registered with the FRB, is required by the FRB to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the OCC requirements.

At March 31, 2018, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and the Bank each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank was categorized "well-capitalized" at March 31, 2018 under the regulations of the OCC.

In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This requirement began to be phased in on January 1, 2016 at an amount requiring more than 0.625 percent of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year to an amount requiring more than 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets when fully implemented in January 2019. As of March 31, 2018, the conservation buffer required an amount more than 1.875 percent.
The ability of the Corporation to pay dividends to stockholders depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Corporation. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if the effect thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below the regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal regulation. In the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Bank paid a cash dividend of $5.0 million to the Corporation; while the Corporation paid $3.2 million of cash dividends to its shareholders.

ITEM 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
One of the Corporation’s principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Corporation has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in interest rates by attempting to manage the repricing mismatch between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The principal element in achieving this objective is to increase the interest-rate sensitivity of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets by retaining for its portfolio new loan originations with interest rates subject to periodic adjustment to market conditions and by selling fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans. In addition, the Corporation maintains an investment portfolio, which is largely in U.S. government agency MBS and U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS with contractual maturities of up to 30 years that reprice periodically or have a relatively short-average life. The Corporation relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funds while utilizing FHLB – San Francisco advances as a secondary source of funding. Management believes retail deposits, unlike brokered deposits, reduces the effects of interest rate fluctuations because they generally represent a more stable source of funds. As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, the Corporation promotes transaction accounts and time deposits with terms up to seven years.
Through the use of an internal interest rate risk model, the Corporation is able to analyze its interest rate risk exposure by measuring the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a variety of interest rate scenarios. NPV is defined as the net present value of expected future cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The calculation is intended to illustrate the change in NPV that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates of -100, +100, +200, +300 and +400 basis points (“bp”) with no effect given to steps that management might take to counter the effect of the interest rate movement. The current federal funds rate is 1.75 percent making an immediate change of -200 and -300 basis points improbable.
The following table is derived from the internal interest rate risk model and represents the NPV based on the indicated changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands).

The pre-shock NPV ratio declined 83 basis points to 10.66 percent at March 31, 2018 from 11.49 percent at June 30, 2017 while the post-shock NPV ratio decreased 66 basis points to 9.50 percent at March 31, 2018 from 10.16 percent at June 30, 2017. As a result, the sensitivity ratio decreased 17 basis points to 116 basis points at March 31, 2018 from 133 basis points at June 30, 2017. The decrease in the NPV ratios were primarily attributable to the $5.0 million cash dividend payment from the Bank to the Corporation in September 2017, partly offset by the net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2018.
As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from time deposits could likely deviate significantly from those assumed when calculating the results described in the tables above. It is also possible that, as a result of an interest rate increase, the higher mortgage payments required from ARM borrowers could result in an increase in delinquencies and defaults. Changes in market interest rates may also affect the volume and profitability of the Corporation’s mortgage banking operations. Accordingly, the data presented in the tables in this section should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in the event of changes in interest rates. Furthermore, the NPV presented in the foregoing tables is not intended to present the fair market value of the Corporation, nor does it represent amounts that would be available for distribution to shareholders in the event of the liquidation of the Corporation.
The Corporation measures and evaluates the potential effects of interest rate movements through an interest rate sensitivity "gap" analysis. Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest income when there is movement in interest rates. For loans, securities and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows. For transaction accounts (checking, money market and savings deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, the Corporation's historical experience, management's judgment and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors.

The static gap analysis shows a positive position in the "12 months or less" category and the "Greater than 3 years to 5 years" category, indicating more assets are sensitive to repricing than liabilities; while the gap analysis shows a negative position in the "Greater than 1 year to 3 years" category and the "Greater than 5 years or non sensitive" category, indicating more liabilities are sensitive to repricing than assets. However, the cumulative repricing gap is positive in each category. Non-maturity checking deposits are available for immediate withdrawal and are therefore assumed to be inherently sensitive to changes in interest rates. Management views non-interest bearing deposits to be the least sensitive to changes in market interest rates and these accounts are therefore characterized as long-term funding. Interest-bearing checking deposits are considered more sensitive, followed by increased sensitivity for savings and money market deposits. For the purpose of calculating gap, a portion of these interest-bearing deposit balances are assumed to be subject to repricing as follows: interest-bearing checking deposits at 15 percent per year, savings deposits at 20 percent per year and money market deposits at 50 percent in the first and second years.
The gap results presented above could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or if actual experience differs from the assumptions used in the preparation of the gap analysis. Furthermore, the gap analysis provides a static view of interest rate risk
74
exposure at a specific point in time without taking into account redirection of cash flows activity, deposit fluctuations, and repricing.
The extent to which the net interest margin will be impacted by changes in prevailing interest rates will depend on a number of factors, including how quickly interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities react to interest rate changes. It is not uncommon for rates on certain assets or liabilities to lag behind changes in the market interest rates. Additionally, prepayments of loans and early withdrawals of certificates of deposit could cause interest sensitivities to vary. As a result, the relationship between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as shown in the previous table, is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity and the effect of changing market interest rates on net interest income is likely to be different from that predicted solely on the basis of the interest rate sensitivity analysis set forth in the previous table.
The Corporation also models the sensitivity of net interest income for the 12-month period subsequent to any given month-end assuming a dynamic balance sheet accounting for, among other items:
•
The Corporation’s current balance sheet and repricing characteristics;
•
Forecasted balance sheet growth consistent with the business plan;
•
Current interest rates and yield curves and management estimates of projected interest rates;
•
Embedded options, interest rate floors, periodic caps and lifetime caps;
•
Repricing characteristics for market rate sensitive instruments;
•
Loan, investment, deposit and borrowing cash flows;
•
Loan prepayment estimates for each type of loan; and
•
Immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates of plus 400, 300, 200 and 100 and minus 100 basis points.
The following table describes the results of the analysis at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

At both March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Corporation was asset sensitive as its interest-earning assets are expected to reprice more quickly than its interest-bearing liabilities during the subsequent 12-month period. Therefore at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, in a rising interest rate environment, the model forecasts an increase in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period. In a falling interest rate environment, the model forecasts a decrease in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period.
Management believes that the assumptions used to complete the analysis described in the table above are reasonable. However, past experience has shown that immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates will not necessarily occur. Additionally, while the analysis provides a tool to evaluate the projected net interest income to changes in interest rates, actual results may be substantially different if actual experience differs from the assumptions used to complete the analysis, particularly with respect to the 12-month business plan when asset growth is forecast. Therefore, the model results that the Corporation discloses should be thought of as a risk management tool to compare the trends of the Corporation’s current disclosure to previous disclosures, over time, within the context of the actual performance of the treasury yield curve.
ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures.
a) An evaluation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Also, because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
75
within the Corporation have been detected. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018 are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
b) There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation does not expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits involving the Corporation, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Corporation holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, employment matters and other issues in the ordinary course of incidental to the Corporation’s business. The Corporation is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operations or cash flows of the Corporation, except as set forth below. Additionally, in some actions, it is difficult to assess potential exposure because the Corporation is still in the early stages of the litigation.
On December 17, 2012, a class and collective action lawsuit, Gina McKeen-Chaplin, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated vs. the Bank was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (the "Court") against the Bank claiming damages, restitution and injunctive relief for alleged misclassification of certain employees as exempt rather than non-exempt, resulting in a failure to pay appropriate overtime compensation, to provide meal and rest periods, to pay waiting time penalties and to provide accurate wage statements (the “McKeen-Chaplin lawsuit”).
On August 12, 2015, the Court issued an order denying the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and granting the Bank's motion for summary judgment affirming that the plaintiffs were properly classified as exempt employees and denying the federal claims. On August 18, 2015, the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the order. On July 5, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”) reversed the Court’s ruling granting the Bank's motion for summary judgment, instead ruling the plaintiffs were improperly classified as exempt employees and were entitled to overtime compensation. The Ninth Circuit remanded the case back to the Court with instructions to enter summary judgement in favor of the plaintiffs. As a result of the Ninth Circuit’s unfavorable ruling, the Bank filed on September 7, 2017, a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on November 27, 2017.
On May 22, 2013, counsel in the McKeen-Chaplin lawsuit filed another class action called Neal versus Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Neal lawsuit”) in California Superior Court in Alameda County (the "State Court"). The Neal lawsuit is virtually identical to the McKeen-Chaplin lawsuit alleging that mortgage underwriters were misclassified as exempt employees.
76
On December 18, 2017, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the plaintiffs' representatives to memorialize an agreement in principle to settle the pending McKeen-Chaplin and Neal Lawsuits. The Memorandum of Understanding assumes class certification for purposes of the settlement only and provides for an aggregate settlement payment by the Bank of $1.8 million, which includes all settlement funds, the named plaintiff service payments, and class counsel's attorneys' fees and costs. Any additional costs and expenses related to employer-side payroll taxes will be paid by the Bank.
On February 21, 2018, plaintiffs filed a motion in McKeen-Chaplin asking the District Court to approve the FLSA portion of the settlement. The motion still is pending. The parties also worked together to jointly request that the Court of Appeal in Neal pass jurisdiction back to the trial court to oversee the settlement process which has been approved.
The Bank's decision to settle these lawsuits was the result of the unfavorable ruling by the United States Supreme Court in the McKeen-Chaplin lawsuit and the significant legal costs, distraction from day-to-day operating activities and substantial resources that would be required to defend the Bank in protracted litigation if the Neal lawsuit would proceed. In addition, the Bank determined that the settlement would reduce the Bank's potential exposure to damages, penalties, fines and plaintiffs' legal fees in the event of an unfavorable outcome in the Neal lawsuit. The settlement will include the dismissal of all claims against the Bank and related parties in the McKeen-Chaplin and Neal Lawsuits without any admission of liability or wrongdoing attributed to the Bank. The settlement described in the Memorandum of Understanding remains subject to court approval and other customary conditions, including a limitation on the number of plaintiffs in each lawsuit that may opt out of the proposed settlement. If the opt out number for either lawsuit is exceeded, the Bank may at its sole and absolute discretion void the settlement within 30 days of receiving notice of the number of plaintiff’s electing to opt out of the settlement.
Based on the proposed settlement, the Corporation recorded a litigation settlement expense accrual of $650,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 to fully reserve for the agreed upon settlement amount.
On August 6, 2015, a former employee, Christina Cannon, filed a lawsuit called Cannon versus the Bank in the California Superior Court for the County of San Bernardino. Cannon seeks to represent a class of all non-exempt employees in a class action lawsuit brought under California’s Unfair Competition Law, Business & Professions Code section 17200. The underlying claims include unpaid overtime (including off-the-clock work), meal and rest period violations, minimum wage violations, and failure to reimburse business expenses. On September 8, 2017, the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the Cannon Lawsuit sent notification to the Bank and to the California Labor & Workforce Development Agency informing them of their intent to bring a claim under the Private Attorneys’ General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) on behalf of all non-exempt employees and covering a variety of alleged wage and hour violations. On September 12, 2017, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the plaintiffs’ representatives to memorialize an agreement in principle to settle the pending Cannon Lawsuit. The Memorandum of Understanding assumes class certification for purposes of the settlement only and provides for an aggregate settlement payment by the Bank of $2.8 million, which includes all settlement funds, the class representative enhancement award, settlement administrator’s expenses, any employer-side payroll taxes, and class counsel’s attorneys’ fees and costs. The Bank’s decision to settle this matter was the result of the significant legal costs, distraction from day-to-day operating activities and substantial resources that would be required to defend the Bank in protracted litigation. In addition, the Bank determined that the settlement would reduce the Bank’s potential exposure to damages, penalties, fines and plaintiffs’ legal fees in the event of an unfavorable outcome in a court trial. The settlement includes the dismissal of all claims against the Bank and related parties in the Cannon Lawsuit and claim under the PAGA, without any admission of liability or wrongdoing attributed to the Bank. The settlement described in the Memorandum of Understanding remains subject to court approval and other customary conditions. Because of the uncertainty surrounding this litigation, no litigation reserve had been previously established by the Bank resulting in the full $2.8 million settlement expense being recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2018
.
The Corporation is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operations and cash flows of the Corporation.
