EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Form 10-Q/A”) to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 7, 2008 (“Original Form 10-Q”), is being filed to reflect the restatement of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the notes related thereto.  For a more detailed description of the restatement, see Note 1, “Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

On April 22, 2008, the Corporation’s Audit Committee determined that the financial statements should be restated after concluding that an error occurred in the accounting for the Corporation sponsored Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”).  The error consisted of releasing fewer shares of common stock than required to be released commensurate with the repayment of the ESOP loan.  The restated financial statements reflect the additional compensation expense required as a result of releasing more shares.  For a description of the changes made in connection with the Restatement (“Restatement”) see Note 1, “Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” to the accompanying unaudited interim  condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report.

This Form 10-Q/A only amends and restates Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I in each case as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement of the Original Form 10-Q.  In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Item 6 of Part II of the Original Form 10-Q has been amended to contain currently dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Except for the forgoing amended information, this Form 10-Q/A continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q and we have not updated the disclosure contained herein to reflect events that have been or will be addressed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and our current reports on Form 8-K filed subsequent to the original Form 10-Q and any reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this filing.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007

Note 1: Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In February 2008, the Corporation identified an error regarding the failure to release shares of common stock from its ESOP consistent with the repayment of the ESOP loan.  The failure occurred as a result of the application of cash dividend payments received on unallocated ESOP shares to reduce the balance of the ESOP loan.  Additional shares should have been released in the years ended December 31, 2002 through 2007.  Releasing these additional shares results in additional compensation expense to the Corporation for those respective periods.  As a result, the Audit Committee concluded, in accordance with SAB No. 108, that the amounts involved required the restatement of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  The impact of the adjustments to the previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 and for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are summarized in the following tables.

Note 2: 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 financial statements at June 30, 2007 are 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 have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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, 2007, as amended.  

Certain amounts in the prior periods’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.  In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at June 30, 2007, escrow balances of $1.4 million, previously reported in loans held for investment, were reclassified to interest-bearing deposits; and custodial accounts of $1.4 million, previously reported in accounts payable, accrued interest and other liabilities, were reclassified to non interest-bearing deposits.  In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2006, interest expense on escrow balances of $18,000 and $35,000, respectively, previously reported in other non-interest expense, was reclassified to interest expense - checking and money market deposits.

7

The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

Note 3: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS” or “Statement”) No. 159:

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective 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.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Management has not determined the impact, if any, of this Statement on the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

SFAS No. 157:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management has not determined the impact, if any, of this Statement on the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 4: Earnings Per Share and Stock-Based Compensation

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. Stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were 734,700 and 608,593, respectively.  Of these options outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 597,000 and none, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS computation as their effect was anti-dilutive.

8

The following table provides the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share	$ 0.17	$ 0.18	$ 0.27	$ 0.92

SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and directors.  Effective July 1, 2005, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method under which the provisions of SFAS No. 123R are applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after June 30, 2005 and to awards outstanding on June 30, 2005 for which requisite service has not yet been rendered.

The adoption of SFAS No. 123R resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense and is solely related to issued and unvested stock option grants.  The incremental stock-based compensation expense for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $136,000 and $105,000, respectively.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the incremental stock-based compensation expense was $276,000 and $138,000, respectively.  For the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, cash provided by operating activities decreased by $6,000 and $32,000, respectively, and cash provided by financing activities increased by an identical amount, respectively, related to excess tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements.  These amounts are reflective of the tax benefit for stock options exercised and restricted stock distributions during the respective periods.

The Corporation operates in two business segments: community banking through the Bank and mortgage banking through Provident Bank Mortgage (“PBM”), a division of the Bank.

Note 6: 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, and forward loan sale agreements to third parties.  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

11

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 December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the Corporation had commitments to extend credit (on loans to be held for investment and loans to be held for sale) of $29.7 million and $44.5 million, respectively.

	December 31,	June 30,
Commitments	2007	2007
(In Thousands)
Undisbursed loan funds – Construction loans	$ 20,366	$ 25,484
Undisbursed lines of credit – Single-family loans	3,472	3,326
Undisbursed lines of credit – Commercial business loans	10,330	14,532
Undisbursed lines of credit – Consumer loans	1,868	1,637
Commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for investment	19,725	9,387
Total	$ 55,761	$ 54,366

In accordance with SFAS No. 133 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, forward loan sale agreements, forward commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), put option contracts and call option contracts are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, and are included in other assets or other liabilities.  The Corporation does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments; therefore, all changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.  The net impact of derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was a gain of $30,000 and a loss of $150,000, respectively.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the net impact of derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations was a loss of $42,000 and a gain of $169,000, respectively.

Note 7: Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”.  FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions.  In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Corporation’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes.  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of income tax uncertainties with respect to positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. 

12

On July 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and had no cumulative effect or adjustment recognized upon adoption. In addition, as a result of adoption of FIN 48, the Corporation does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as a result of uncertainty in income taxes on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.  It is the Corporation’s policy to record any penalties or interest arising from federal or state taxes as a component of other expense.  There were no penalties or interest included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.  Also, the Corporation does not anticipate any changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits prior to the end of fiscal year 2008.  The Corporation files income tax returns with the United States federal and state of California jurisdictions.  The Corporation is no longer subject to United States federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended on or before June 30, 2003.  Accordingly, the tax years ended June 30, 2004 through 2007 remain open to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities.   In January 2008, the Corporation received a notice that the 2006 tax return will be examined by the Internal Revenue Service, in a routine audit.

Note 8: Subsequent Events

On January 31, 2008, the Corporation announced a cash dividend of $0.18 per share on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of common stock for shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 25, 2008, payable on March 21, 2008.

ITEM 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management's discussion and analysis gives effect to the restatement discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. upon the Bank’s conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank (“Conversion”).  The Conversion was completed on June 27, 1996.  At December 31, 2007, the Corporation had total assets of $1.64 billion, total deposits of $1.01 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $126.1 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.

The Bank, founded in 1956, is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Riverside, California.  The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the insurer of its deposits.  The 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 Bank’s business consists of community banking activities and mortgage banking activities.  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 and sale of mortgage and consumer loans secured primarily by single-family residences.  The Bank’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 Bank’s business including, 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, competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial services providers, regulatory changes, fraud and other risks.

The Corporation, from time to time, may repurchase its common stock.  The Corporation evaluates the repurchase of its common stock when the market price of the stock is lower than its book value and/or the Corporation believes that the current market price is not commensurate with its current and future earnings potential.  

13

Consideration is also given to the Corporation’s liquidity, regulatory capital requirements and future capital needs based on the Corporation’s current business plan.  The Corporation’s Board of Directors authorizes each stock repurchase program, the duration of which is typically one year.  Once the stock repurchase program is authorized, management may repurchase the Corporation’s common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions and the factors described above.  On June 25, 2007, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of its outstanding common stock, or approximately 318,847 shares, over a one-year period.  For additional information regarding the Corporation’s repurchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, see Part II, Item 2 – “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” on page 40 of the Original Form 10-Q ended December 31, 2007.

The Corporation began to distribute quarterly cash dividends in the quarter ended September 30, 2002.  On October 25, 2007, the Corporation announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share for the Corporation’s shareholders of record at the close of business on November 19, 2007, which was paid on December 14, 2007.  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, 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.

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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements relate to, among others, expectations of the business environment in which the Corporation operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding the Corporation’s mission and vision.  These forward-looking statements are based upon management expectations, and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties.  The Corporation’s actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide range of factors including, but not limited to the general business environment, the credit risks of lending activities, the ability to access cost-effective funding, interest rates, the California real estate market, the demand for loans, the repurchase of loans previously sold to investors, competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial services providers, regulatory changes, fraud, and other risks disclosed herein or detailed in the Corporation’s reports filed with the SEC, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.  Forward-looking statements are effective only as of the date that they are made and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update forward-looking information.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Corporation’s 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 financial statements.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Accounting for the allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of net loans.  Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting:  (i) SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated; and (ii) SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” and SFAS No. 118,

14

“Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures,” which require that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.  The allowance has two components: a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans and a specific valuation allowance for identified problem loans.  Each of these components is based upon estimates that can change over time.  The formula allowance is based primarily on historical experience and as a result can differ from actual losses incurred in the future.  The history is reviewed at least quarterly and adjustments are made as needed.  Various techniques are used to arrive at specific loss estimates, including historical loss information, discounted cash flows and the fair market value of collateral.  The use of these techniques is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates.  For further details, see “Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Six Months Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 - Provision for Loan Losses” on page 25 of this Form 10-Q/A.

Interest is generally not accrued on any loan when its contractual payments are 90 days or more delinquent or if the loan is deemed impaired.  In addition, interest is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured.  A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities,” requires that derivatives of the Corporation be recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value.  Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy.  The Bank’s derivatives are primarily the result of its mortgage banking activities in the form of commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, commitments to purchase MBS and option contracts to mitigate the risk of the commitments.  Estimates of the percentage of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale that may not fund are based upon historical data and current market trends.  The fair value adjustments of the derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations with offsets to other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

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 and real estate operations.

Community banking operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Bank’s full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-family, commercial real estate, construction, commercial business, consumer and other loans.  Additionally, certain fees are collected from depositors, such as non-sufficient fund fees, deposit account service charges, ATM fees, IRA/KEOGH fees, safe deposit box fees, travelers check fees, and wire transfer fees, among others.  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.  During the next three years the Corporation intends to increase the community banking business by growing total assets; restructuring the balance sheet by decreasing the percentage of investment securities to total assets and increasing the percentage of loans held for investment to total assets; decreasing the concentration of single-family mortgage loans within loans held for investment; and increasing the concentration of higher yielding multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans (which are sometimes referred to in this report as “preferred loans”).  It should be noted however, that currently, the Bank has deemphasized construction loan originations given the current real estate market.  In addition, over time, the Corporation intends to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower costing 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.

Mortgage banking operations primarily consist of the origination 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.  During the second quarter ended

15

December 31, 2007, the Bank closed PBM loan production offices in Diamond Bar, La Quinta, San Diego, Temecula and Torrance, California.  The closure of the PBM loan offices was due primarily to the decline in loan demand, resulting from, among others, the declining real estate market, stricter loan underwriting standards and the well documented deterioration of the mortgage banking environment.  For the second quarter ended December 31, 2007, the charge related to the action described above was approximately $210,000.  As of December 31, 2007, the Bank does not believe that additional charges will be incurred with respect to this action.  The Corporation will continue to monitor and adjust its operations in response to the rapidly changing mortgage banking environment.  Changes may include a different product mix, further tightening of underwriting standards, a further reduction in operating expenses or a combination of these and other changes.

Investment services operations primarily consist of selling alternative investment products such as annuities and mutual funds to our depositors and provided by strategic partners.  Real estate operations primarily consist of loan foreclosures and the sale of real estate owned by the Bank.  Each of these businesses generates a relatively small portion of the Corporation’s net income.

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 and changes in regulation, 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 management.  The current economic environment presents heightened risk for the Corporation primarily with respect to falling real estate values.  Declining real estate values may lead to higher loan losses since the majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate located within California.  Significant declines in California real estate may inhibit the Corporation’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on the Corporation’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands):

	Payments Due by Period
	1 year	Over 1 year	Over 3 years	Over
	or less	to 3 years	to 5 years	5 years	Total
Operating lease obligations	$        813	$     1,286	$        640	$     813	$        3,552
Time deposits	532,124	150,498	4,487	-	687,109
FHLB – San Francisco advances	245,730	168,415	113,686	2,670	530,501
FHLB – San Francisco letter of credit	2,000	-	-	-	2,000
Total	$ 780,667	$ 320,199	$ 118,813	$ 3,483	$ 1,223,162

The expected obligation for time deposits and FHLB – San Francisco advances include anticipated interest accruals based on the respective contractual terms.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007

Total assets decreased $8.4 million, or one percent, to $1.64 billion at December 31, 2007 from $1.65 billion at June 30, 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in the receivable from sale of loans and FHLB – San Francisco stock, partly offset by an increase in loans held for investment.

Total investment securities increased $2.7 million, or two percent, to $153.5 million at December 31, 2007 from $150.8 million at June 30, 2007.  The increase was primarily the result of the purchase of $41.2 million of investment securities in the first six months of fiscal 2008, partly offset by $16.1 million maturing and $23.4 million of scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities.  The Bank evaluates individual investment securities quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in market value.  The Bank does not believe that there are any other-than-temporary impairments at December 31, 2007; therefore, no impairment losses have been recorded as of December 31, 2007.

16

Loans held for investment increased $44.7 million, or three percent, to $1.40 billion at December 31, 2007 from $1.35 billion at June 30, 2007.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Bank originated $185.7 million of loans held for investment, $119.7 million, or 64 percent, were “preferred loans” (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans), which includes the purchase of $71.5 million of loans.  The loans purchased in the first six months of fiscal 2008 are secured by real estate located primarily in California (property inspections were performed on those loans above $400,000) and all loans were underwritten by the Corporation prior to purchase using the same underwriting criteria as an originated loan.  Total loan principal payments during the first six months of fiscal 2008 were $134.7 million, compared to $178.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2007.  The balance of preferred loans increased to $576.8 million, or 41 percent of loans held for investment at December 31, 2007, as compared to $522.9 million, or 39 percent of loans held for investment at June 30, 2007.  Purchased loans serviced by others at December 31, 2007 were $159.6 million, or 11 percent of loans held for investment, compared to $159.8 million, or 12 percent of loans held for investment at June 30, 2007.

The table below describes the geographic dispersion of real estate secured loans held for investment at December 31, 2007, as a percentage of the total dollar amount outstanding:

Loan Category	Inland Empire	Southern California (1)	Other California	Other States	Total
Single-family	30%	55%	13%	2%	100%
Multi-family	9%	70%	18%	3%	100%
Commercial real estate	46%	46%	7%	1%	100%
Construction	69%	31%	-	-	100%
Other	100%	-	-	-	100%
Total	27%	57%	14%	2%	100%

(1) Other than the Inland Empire.

The receivable from the sale of loans decreased $41.4 million, or 68 percent, to $19.1 million at December 31, 2007 from $60.5 million at June 30, 2007.  The decrease was attributable to fewer loans originated for sale and the timing differences between loan sale and loan sale settlement dates.

Total deposits increased $4.3 million, or less than one percent, to $1.01 billion at December 31, 2007 from $1.00 billion at June 30, 2007.  This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $17.0 million in time deposits, partly offset by a decrease of $12.7 million in transaction accounts.  The decrease in transaction accounts and the increase in time deposits was primarily attributable to depositors switching to time deposits from transaction accounts, seeking higher interest rates.

Borrowings, which consisted primarily of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased $8.4 million, or two percent, to $494.4 million at December 31, 2007 from $502.8 million at June 30, 2007.  The decrease in borrowings was primarily the result of the decreases in the receivable from sale of loans and the FHLB – San Francisco stock, partly offset by the increase in loans held for investment.  The weighted-average maturity of the Bank’s FHLB – San Francisco advances was approximately 19 months (15 months, if put options are exercised by the FHLB – San Francisco) at December 31, 2007 as compared to the weighted-average maturity of 23months (18 months, if put options are exercised by the FHLB – San Francisco) at June 30, 2007.

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $2.7 million, or two percent, to $126.1 million at December 31, 2007, from $128.8 million at June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of common stock repurchases and the quarterly cash dividends paid during the first six months of fiscal 2008, which was partly offset by net income and share based payment activity during the first six months of fiscal 2008.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, a total of 7,500 stock options with an average strike price of $9.15 per share were exercised.  Also, a total of 187,081 shares of common stock were repurchased during the first six months of fiscal 2008 under the June 2007 stock repurchase program at an average price of $21.78 per share.  As of December 31, 2007, 59 percent of the authorized shares of the June 2007 stock repurchase program were purchased, leaving 131,766 shares available for future repurchase.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Corporation repurchased 930 shares of restricted stock in lieu of distribution to employees (to satisfy the minimum income tax required to be withheld from employees) at an average price of $22.66 per share.  The total cash dividend paid to the Corporation’s shareholders in the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $2.3 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Six Months Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

The Corporation’s net income for the second quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $1.0 million, a decrease of $191,000, or 15 percent, from $1.2 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by decreases in the provision for loan losses and operating expenses.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Corporation’s net income was $1.7 million, down $4.6 million, from $6.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was primarily a result of the decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by decreases in the provision for loan losses and operating expenses.

The Corporation’s net interest income (before the provision for loan losses) decreased by $917,000, or nine percent, to $9.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from $10.5 million during the comparable period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was the result of a lower net interest margin and lower average earning assets.  The net interest margin decreased to 2.42 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, down eight basis points from 2.50 percent for the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease in the net interest margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to an increase in the average cost of funds and a decrease in the average yield on earning assets.  The average balance of earning assets decreased $93.2 million, or six percent, to $1.58 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $1.68 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2007.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, net interest income (before the provision for loan losses) was $18.9 million, down $2.3 million or 11 percent from $21.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was the result of a lower net interest margin and lower average earning assets.  The net interest margin decreased to 2.41 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2008, down 17 basis points from 2.58 percent during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The average balance of earning assets decreased $71.9 million, or four percent, to $1.57 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2008 from $1.64 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

The Corporation’s efficiency ratio increased to 64 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from 57 percent in the same period of fiscal 2007.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the efficiency ratio was 68 percent and 51 percent, respectively.  The deterioration in the efficiency ratio was a result of the declines in net interest income and non-interest income, which outpaced the decline in non-interest expense.

Return on average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 decreased three basis points to 0.26 percent from 0.29 percent in the same period last year.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the return on average assets was 0.21 percent and 0.74 percent, respectively, a decrease of 53 basis points.

Return on average equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 decreased to 3.30 percent from 3.64 percent for the same period last year.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the return on average equity decreased to 2.60 percent from 9.15 percent for the same period last year.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $0.17, a decrease of six percent from $0.18 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, diluted earnings per share were $0.27 and $0.92, respectively, a decrease of 71 percent.

Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased by $1.5 million, or six percent, to $24.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $25.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was primarily the result of a lower average balance of earning assets and a lower average earning asset yield.  The average yield on earning assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 6.07 percent, one basis point lower than the average yield of 6.08 percent during the same period of fiscal 2007.

Loan interest income decreased $1.3 million, or six percent, to $21.7 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from $23.0 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan balance and a lower average loan yield.  The average balance of loans outstanding, including the receivable from sale of loans and loans held for sale, decreased $51.2 million, or four percent, to $1.40 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $1.45 billion during the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  The average loan yield during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased 14 basis points to 6.21 percent from 6.35 percent during the same quarter last year.  The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to accrued interest reversals from newly classified non-accrual loans and loan payoffs which carried a higher average yield, partly offset by mortgage loans originated with higher interest rates, the upward repricing of adjustable rate loans during the period and a higher percentage of preferred loans, which generally have a higher yield.

18

Interest income from investment securities increased $45,000, or two percent, to $1.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  This increase was primarily a result of an increase in average yield, partly offset by a decrease in the average balance.  The average balance of investment securities decreased $30.9 million, or 17 percent, to $153.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $184.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Bank purchased $26.4 million of investment securities, while $6.0 million matured and $11.4 million of principal payments were received on MBS.  The average yield on the investment securities increased 93 basis points to 4.95 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from 4.02 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  The increase in the average yield of investment securities was primarily a result of the new purchases with a higher average yield (5.38 percent versus the average yield of 4.95 percent), the maturities with an average yield of 3.27 percent and a net discount accretion during the period.  The net discount accretion in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $4,000, compared to a net premium amortization of $11,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.

FHLB – San Francisco stock dividends decreased by $161,000, or 27 percent, to $432,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $593,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was attributable to a lower average balance and a lower average yield.  The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco stock decreased $10.3 million to $31.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $41.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco stock was consistent with the borrowing requirements of the FHLB – San Francisco.  The average yield on FHLB – San Francisco stock decreased 16 basis points to 5.58 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from 5.74 percent during the same period last year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, total interest income decreased by $1.9 million, or four percent, to $47.8 million from $49.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was primarily the result of a lower average balance of earning assets, partly offset by a higher average earning asset yield.  The average yield on earning assets during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was 6.08 percent, four basis points higher than the average yield of 6.04 percent during the same period of fiscal 2007.

Loan interest income decreased $1.8 million, or four percent, to $43.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2007 from $45.0 million for the same period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan balance and a lower average loan yield.  The average balance of loans outstanding, including the receivable from sale of loans and loans held for sale, decreased $31.9 million, or two percent, to $1.39 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2008 from $1.42 billion during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The average loan yield during the first six months of fiscal 2008 decreased 11 basis points to 6.23 percent from 6.34 percent during the same period last year.  The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to accrued interest reversals from newly classified non-accrual loans and loan payoffs which carried a higher average yield, partly offset by mortgage loans originated with higher interest rates, the upward repricing of adjustable rate loans during the period and a higher percentage of preferred loans, which generally have a higher yield.

Interest income from investment securities increased $93,000 to $3.6 million during the six months ended December 31, 2007 from the same period of fiscal 2007.  This increase was primarily a result of an increase in average yield, partly offset by a decrease in the average balance.  The average balance of investment securities decreased $32.3 million, or 18 percent, to $151.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 from $183.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, $41.2 million of investment securities were purchased and $16.1 million matured, while $23.4 million of principal payments were received on MBS.  The average yield on the investment securities increased 95 basis points to 4.81 percent during the six months ended December 31, 2007 from 3.86 percent during the six months ended December 31, 2006.  The increase in the average yield of investment securities was primarily a result of the new purchases with a higher average yield (5.40 percent versus the average yield of 4.81 percent), the maturities with an average yield of 3.16 percent and an increase in the accelerated principal payments on MBS with a corresponding increase to the net MBS discount accretion.  The net discount accretion in the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $7,000, compared to a net premium amortization of $27,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.

FHLB – San Francisco stock dividends decreased by $206,000, or 19 percent, to $901,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2008 from $1.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  This decrease was attributable to a lower average yield and a lower average balance.  The average yield on FHLB – San Francisco stock decreased nine basis points to 5.47 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2008 from 5.56 percent during the same period last year.  The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco stock decreased $6.8 million to $33.0 million during the first six months

19

of fiscal 2008 from $39.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco stock was consistent with the borrowing requirements of the FHLB – San Francisco.

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from $3.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to loan classification downgrades ($1.8 million) and a sequential quarter increase in loans held for investment ($302,000).

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Corporation recorded a loan loss provision of $3.7 million, compared to a loan loss provision of $4.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The provision for loan losses in the first six months of fiscal 2007 includes the specific loan loss reserve of $2.5 million on the 23 individual construction loans located in Coachella, California.

At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $17.2 million, comprised of $12.4 million of general loan loss reserves and $4.8 million of specific loan loss reserves, in comparison to the allowance for loan losses of $14.8 million at June 30, 2007, comprised of $11.5 million of general loan loss reserves and $3.3 million of specific loan loss reserves.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was 1.22 percent at December 31, 2007 as compared to 1.09 percent at June 30, 2007.  Management considers the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment.

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 collectibility may not be assured, and determination of the realizable value of the collateral securing the loans.  Provisions for losses are charged against operations on a monthly basis, as necessary, to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels.  Management believes that the amount maintained in the allowance will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loans held for investment.  Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loans held for investment, will not request that the Bank significantly increase 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 control of the Bank.

Non-Interest Income.  Total non-interest income decreased $2.4 million, or 56 percent, to $1.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from $4.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans, a decrease in gain on sale of real estate and a decrease in other income.

The gain on sale of loans decreased $2.0 million, or 69 percent, to $934,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from $2.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  The decrease was the result of a lower volume of loans originated for sale, partly offset by a higher average loan sale margin.  The volume of loans originated for sale decreased to $98.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to $312.4 million during the same period last year.  The decline in loan originations was primarily attributable to lower loan demand resulting from a decline in real estate values, more stringent underwriting standards and a more competitive environment.  The average loan sale margin for PBM during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 1.09 percent, up nine basis points from 1.00 percent in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The increase in the average loan sale margin was primarily attributable to an increase in the fair-value adjustment on derivative financial instruments pursuant to the SFAS No. 133 (a gain of $30,000 versus a loss of $150,000) and an improvement to the reserve provision for loans sold that are subject to early payment default repurchase (a recovery of $46,000 versus a provision of $172,000).  As of December 31, 2007, the fair value of derivative financial instruments was a loss of $29,000 as compared to a loss of $3,000 at June 30, 2007 and a loss of $12,000 at December 31, 2006.  As of December 31, 2007, the total reserve for loans sold that are subject to early payment default repurchase was $224,000, compared to $194,000 at June 30, 2007 and $172,000 at December 31, 2006.

26

Deposit account fees increased $275,000, or 54 percent, to $785,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from $510,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in returned check fees.

The net loss on sale of real estate was $229,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 as compared to a net gain on sale of real estate of $27,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006.  Six real estate owned properties were sold in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 as compared to one property in the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Other non-interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was a loss of $56,000 as compared to income of $330,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a loss in real estate operations, which consist of expenses related to real estate owned (such as, property insurance, property taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance costs) and provision for losses on the real estate owned.  Real estate operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was a loss of $474,000 as compared to a loss of $22,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, total non-interest income decreased $8.4 million, or 72 percent, to $3.3 million from $11.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of real estate, a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and a decrease in other fees, partly offset by an increase in deposit account fees.

The gain on sale of loans decreased $5.3 million, or 83 percent, to $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007 from $6.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease was a result of a lower average loan sale margin and a lower volume of loans originated for sale in the first six months of fiscal 2008.  The average loan sale margin for PBM during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was 0.60 percent, down 46 basis points from 1.06 percent in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The gain on sale of loans includes a loss of $42,000 on derivative financial instruments as a result of SFAS No. 133 in the six months ended December 31, 2007, compared to a gain of $169,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The volume of loans originated for sale decreased by $434.0 million, or 69 percent, to $197.9 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 as compared to $631.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  Total loan originations (including loans originated for investment, loans purchased for investment and loans originated for sale) were $383.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008, down $528.7 million or 58 percent, from $912.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.

Deposit account fees increased $411,000, or 40 percent, to $1.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 from $1.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in returned check fees.

The net loss on sale of real estate was $168,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to a net gain on sale of real estate of $2.3 million in the same period ended December 31, 2006.  The gain on sale of real estate in the six months ended December 31, 2006 includes the gain of $2.3 million resulting from the sale of approximately six acres of land in Riverside, California (not replicated in fiscal 2008).  A total of 10 real estate owned properties were sold during the six months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to one real estate owned and one real estate held for investment property in the same period ended December 31, 2006.

Other non-interest income in the first six months of fiscal 2008 was a loss of $13,000 as compared to income of $921,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the loss in real estate operations.  Real estate operations for the first six months of fiscal 2008 resulted in a loss of $839,000 as compared to a loss of $26,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

Non-Interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 was $7.3 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 14 percent, as compared to $8.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in compensation expense, marketing expense and other operating expenses, partly offset by higher premises and occupancy expense, equipment expense and professional expenses.

Total compensation expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $4.5 million, down 20 percent from $5.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease in compensation expense was primarily attributable to fewer mortgage banking personnel and lower incentive compensation given the decline in loan origination volume in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007.

27

The increase in premises and occupancy expense was primarily related to the closures of five Provident Bank Mortgage loan production offices in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, while the increase in professional expenses was primarily related to higher legal expenses corresponding to the increase in delinquent loans.

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, total non-interest expense was $15.1 million, a decrease of $1.8 million or 11 percent, as compared to $16.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in compensation expense, marketing expense and other operating expenses, partly offset by higher premises and occupancy expenses and professional expenses.

Income taxes.  Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $1.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 decreased to 49.2 percent as compared to 51.2 percent for the same quarter last year.  The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 reflects its current income tax obligations.

For the six months ended December 31, 2007, income tax expense was $1.9 million as compared to $5.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2007 increased to 52.9 percent as compared to 45.9 percent for the same period last year.  The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily the result of a higher percentage of permanent tax differences relative to income before taxes.  The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the first six months of fiscal 2008 reflects its current income tax obligations.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans increased to $17.6 million at December 31, 2007 from $15.9 million at June 30, 2007.  The non-accrual loans at December 31, 2007 were comprised of 28 single-family loans ($9.4 million), 15 single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to, investors ($4.6 million), 24 construction loans ($3.0 million) and two multi-family loans ($665,000).  No interest accruals were made for loans that were past due 90 days or more.

The non-accrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of net loans held for investment increased to 1.26 percent at December 31, 2007 from 1.18 percent at June 30, 2007.  Real estate owned was $6.7 million (17 properties) at December 31, 2007, up 76 percent from $3.8 million (10 properties) at June 30, 2007.  Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 1.49 percent at December 31, 2007 from 1.20 percent at June 30, 2007.

In fiscal 2007, the Bank established a $2.6 million specific loan loss reserve on 23 individual construction loans in a single-family construction project located in Coachella, California.  The Bank believes that significant misrepresentations were made to secure the Bank’s involvement in the project and as a result the Bank is vigorously pursuing legal remedies to protect the Bank’s interests.  The Bank has delivered demands to the individual borrowers, mortgage loan broker and builder who knowingly misled the Bank on certain key aspects of the loans and the project, which were ignored by the respective parties.  Therefore, the Bank has filed lawsuits alleging loan fraud by the 23 individual borrowers, misrepresentation fraud by the mortgage loan broker and misuse of funds fraud by the contractor.  The establishment of the specific loan loss reserve is consistent with the improved land value based on an appraisal.  Given the number of parties involved or soon to be involved, the complexity of the transaction and probable fraud, this matter may take an extended period of time to resolve.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Bank repurchased $2.1 million of loans from investors, resulting in a market value write down of $158,000 on these loans.  The loan repurchases in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $2.5 million and the unable to sell loans were $975,000 with a market value write down of $349,000.  Many of the repurchases and unable to sell loans were the result of early payment default, which in many cases is the result of fraud.  For the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Bank repurchased $3.8 million of loans from investors and was unable to sell $4.2 million of loans to investors, resulting in a market value write down of $601,000, compared to $3.9 million of repurchased loans and $975,000 of unable to sell loans with a market value write down of $396,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007. The Bank has made procedural changes to improve the underwriting process but it is too soon to determine if the tighter underwriting standards will curtail this problem.

The Bank reviews loans individually to identify when impairment has occurred.  A loan is identified as impaired when it is deemed probable that the borrower will be unable to meet the scheduled principal and interest payments

28

under the terms of the loan agreement.  Impairment is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, the Bank may measure impairment based on a loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The following table describes certain credit risk characteristics of the Corporation’s single-family, first trust deed, mortgage loans held for investment as of December 31, 2007:

Total classified loans (including loans designated as special mention) were $38.3 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $6.0 million or 19 percent, from $32.3 million at June 30, 2007.  The classified loans at December 31, 2007 consist of 19 loans in the special mention category (two construction loans of $5.8 million, 13 single-family loans of $4.5 million, two multi-family loans of $2.2 million, one commercial real estate loan of $960,000 and one commercial business loan of $13,000), 89 loans in the substandard category (58 single-family loans of $19.1 million, 24 construction loans of $2.5 million, four multi-family loans of $2.0 million and three commercial real estate loans of $734,000) and 23 construction loans in the doubtful category ($529,000).  The increase in classified loans is the result of a combination of factors, including loan downgrades, foreclosures, loan upgrades and payoffs.

The classified loans at June 30, 2007 consisted of 24 loans in the special mention category (12 single-family loans of $5.6 million, three multi-family loans of $3.3 million, five construction loans of $2.6 million, two commercial real estate loans of $1.5 million and two commercial business loans of $263,000) and 85 loans in the substandard category (52 single-family loans of $15.0 million, 23 construction loans of $2.4 million, three commercial real estate loans of $745,000, one multi-family loan of $444,000, five commercial business loans of $296,000 and one other loan of $108,000).

As of December 31, 2007, real estate owned was comprised of 17 properties (12 from loan repurchases and five from loans held for investment), primarily located in Southern California, with a net fair value of $6.7 million.  A new appraisal was obtained on each of the properties and fair value was calculated by using the lower of appraised value or the listing price of the property, net of disposition costs.  As of June 30, 2007, real estate owned was comprised of 10 properties (three from loan repurchases and seven from loans held for investment), primarily located in Southern California, with a net fair value of $3.8 million.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, nine real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while six real estate owned properties were sold for a net loss of $229,000.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, 17 real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while 10 real estate owned properties were sold for a net loss of $168,000.

As of December 31, 2007, restructured loans were $2.8 million (consisting of seven loans); all are current, remain on accrual status and are classified as special mention.  To qualify for restructuring, a borrower must provide evidence of their creditworthiness such as, current financial statements, most recent income tax returns, current paystubs, current W-2s, and most recent bank statements, among other documents, which are then verified by the Bank.  The Bank re-underwrites the loan file with the borrower’s updated financial information, new credit report, current loan balance, new interest rate (which is at or slightly higher than current market), remaining loan term, updated property value and modified payment schedule, among other considerations, to determine if the borrower qualifies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation’s primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from the sale of loans originated for sale, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the maturity of investment securities and FHLB – San Francisco advances. 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 Bank is the origination and purchase of loans held for investment.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Bank originated loans in the amounts of $312.0 million and $824.1 million, respectively.  In addition, the Bank purchased loans from other financial institutions in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007 in the amounts of $71.5 million and $88.2 million, respectively.  The Bank’s mortgage banking activities resulted in total loans sold in the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007 of $199.2 million and $628.1 million, respectively.  At December 31, 2007, the Bank had loan origination commitments totaling $29.7 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $20.4 million.  The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments.

The Bank’s primary financing activity is gathering deposits.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007, the net increase in deposits was $4.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively.  On December 31, 2007, time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less were $514.2 million.  Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its time deposits as they mature by adjusting deposit rates to the current interest rate environment.

The Bank 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 Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet short-term liquidity needs.  At December 31, 2007, total cash and cash equivalents were $12.5 million, or 0.76 percent of total assets.  Depending on market conditions and the pricing of deposit products and FHLB – San Francisco advances, the Bank may continue to rely on FHLB – San Francisco advances for part of its liquidity needs.  As of December 31, 2007, the remaining financing availability at FHLB – San Francisco was $296.5 million, and the available borrowing capacity at the Bank’s correspondent bank was $25.0 million.

Although the OTS eliminated the minimum liquidity requirement for savings institutions in April 2002, the regulation still requires 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 December 31, 2007 decreased to 4.0 percent from 7.2 percent during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to OTS requirements.  Under the OTS prompt corrective action provisions, a minimum ratio of 1.5 percent for Tangible Capital is required to be deemed other than “critically undercapitalized,” while a minimum of 5.0 percent for Core Capital, 10.0 percent for Total Risk-Based Capital and 6.0 percent for Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital is required to be deemed “well capitalized.”  As of December 31, 2007, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Tangible Capital, Core Capital, Total Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratios of 7.1 percent, 7.1 percent, 11.9 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively.

32

The Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2007 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Amount	Percent
Tangible capital	$ 116,817	7.13%
Requirement	32,758	2.00
Excess over requirement	$   84,059	5.13%
Core capital	$ 116,817	7.13%
Requirement to be “Well Capitalized”	81,896	5.00
Excess over requirement	$   34,921	2.13%
Total risk-based capital	$ 126,522	11.93%
Requirement to be “Well Capitalized”	106,077	10.00
Excess over requirement	$   20,445	1.93%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	$ 113,850	10.73%
Requirement to be “Well Capitalized”	63,646	6.00
Excess over requirement	$   50,204	4.73%

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, and forward loan sale agreements to third parties.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.  The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counter party 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 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements on page 11.

Stockholders’ Equity

The ability of the Corporation to pay dividends 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 amount required for the liquidation account established by the Bank in connection with its Conversion or the regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal and state regulation.  The Corporation paid $2.3 million of cash dividends to its shareholders in the first six months of fiscal 2008.

The Corporation repurchased 187,081 shares under the existing stock repurchase programs during the first six months of fiscal 2008 at an average price of $21.78 per share.  As of December 31, 2007, 59 percent of the authorized shares from the June 2007 stock repurchase program were purchased, leaving 131,766 shares available for future repurchase.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, the Corporation also repurchased 930 shares of restricted stock from employees in lieu of distribution to employees (to satisfy the minimum income tax required to be withheld from employees) at an average price of $22.66 per share.  During the first six months of fiscal 2008, a total of 7,500 stock options with an average strike price of $9.15 per share were exercised.

33

Incentive Plans

As of December 31, 2007, the Corporation had three share-based compensation plans, which are described below.  These plans include the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, 2003 Stock Option Plan and 1996 Stock Option Plan.  The 1997 Management Recognition Plan incurred its final share distribution in July 2007.  The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was $199,000 and $27,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the compensation cost for these plans was $385,000 and $55,000, respectively, and the tax benefit from these plans was $6,000 and $32,000, respectively.

Equity Incentive Plan.  The Corporation established and the shareholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) for directors, advisory directors, directors emeriti, officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiary.  The 2006 Plan authorizes 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 shares of stock options or 27,750 shares of restricted stock in any one year.

a) Equity Incentive Plan - Stock Options.  Under the 2006 Plan, 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 period on a pro-rata basis as long as the director, advisory director, director emeriti, 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 assumptions noted in the following table.  The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from historical common stock closing prices for the last 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.

No options were granted, exercised or forfeited in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  For the first six months of fiscal 2008, a total of 12,000 options were forfeited.  There was no other activity. As of December 31, 2007, there were 189,700 options available for future grants under the 2006 Plan.

The following is a summary of the stock option activity in the 2006 Plan for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007:

Options	Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price	Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($000)

As of December 31, 2007, there was $747,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the stock options in the 2006 Plan.  This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.1 years.  The forfeiture rate during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was 20 percent and was calculated by using the historical forfeiture experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually.

b) Equity Incentive Plan – Restricted Stock.  The Corporation will use 185,000 shares of its treasury stock to fund the 2006 Plan.  Awarded shares typically vest over a five-year 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.

No restricted stock was awarded, vested or forfeited in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  At December 31, 2007, the value of the unearned restricted stock was $1.4 million.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, a total of 4,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded while 6,000 shares were forfeited.  There was no other activity.  As of December 31, 2007, there were 124,250 shares of restricted stock available for future awards.

A summary of the status of the Corporation’s unvested restricted stock as of December 31, 2007 and changes during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007 is presented below:

As of December 31, 2007, there was $1.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements awarded under the restricted stock in the 2006 Plan, and reported as a reduction

35

to stockholders’ equity (included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under additional paid-in capital, as per SFAS No. 123R).  This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.1 years.  Similar to options, a forfeiture rate of 20 percent is used for the restricted stock compensation expense calculations.

Stock Option Plans.  The Corporation established the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Stock Option Plans”) for key employees and eligible directors under which options to acquire up to 1.15 million shares and 352,500 shares of common stock, respectively, may be granted.  Under the Stock Option Plans, options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of the grant.  Options 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 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.

On April 28, 2005, the Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of 136,950 unvested stock options, which were previously granted to directors, officers and key employees who had three or more continuous years of service with the Corporation or an affiliate of the Corporation.  The Board believed that it was in the best interest of the shareholders to accelerate the vesting of these options which were granted prior to January 1, 2004, since it will have a positive impact on the future earnings of the Corporation.  This action was taken as a result of SFAS No. 123R which the Corporation adopted on July 1, 2005.

As a result of accelerating the vesting of these options, the Corporation recorded a $320,000 charge to compensation expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2005.  This charge represents a new measurement of compensation cost for these options as of the modification date.  The modification introduced the potential for an effective renewal of the awards as some of these options may have been forfeited by the holders.  This charge will require quarterly adjustment in future periods for actual forfeiture experience.  No recovery of the accelerated charge occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2007.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007, a recovery of $23,000 was realized; and since inception, a $301,000 recovery has been realized.  The Corporation estimates that the compensation expense related to these options that would have been recognized over their remaining vesting period pursuant to the transition provisions of SFAS No. 123R is $1.7 million.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the assumptions noted in the following table.  The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from historical common stock closing prices for the last 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.

A total of 13,500 options were forfeited in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  There was no other activity. This compares to a total of 1,900 options exercised in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $10,000.  There was no other activity in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.  For the first six months of fiscal 2008, a total of 50,000 options were granted and 7,500 options were exercised, while 48,700 options were forfeited.  This compares to a total of 64,000 options granted and 8,400 options exercised in the first six months of fiscal 2007.  There was no other activity.   As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the number of options available for future grants under the Stock Option Plans were 14,900 and 43,200 options, respectively.

The following is a summary of the activity in the Stock Option Plans for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2007:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $3.94 and $8.43 per share, respectively.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $104,000 and $53,000, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $1.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Option Plans.  This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.  The forfeiture rate during the first six months of fiscal 2008 was 20% and was calculated by using the historical forfeiture experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually.

Management Recognition Plan (“MRP”).  The Corporation established the 1997 MRP to provide key employees and eligible directors with a proprietary interest in the growth, development and financial success of the Corporation through the award of restricted stock.  The Corporation acquired 461,250 shares of its common stock in the open market to fund the 1997 MRP.  All of the 1997 MRP shares have been awarded.  Awarded shares vest over a five-year period as long as the employee or director remains in service to the Corporation.  The Corporation recognizes compensation expense for the MRP based on the fair value of the shares at the award date.

All of the MRP shares were fully vested and distributed in July 2007 and no MRP compensation expense was recognized for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.  The MRP compensation expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was $14,000.  For the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the MRP compensation expense was $4,000 and $32,000, respectively.  The value of the unearned MRP at December 31, 2006 was $30,000, and reported as a reduction to stockholders’ equity (included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under additional paid-in capital, as per SFAS No. 123R).

ITEM 4 – Controls and Procedures.

Background and Financial Statement Restatement:

On April 22, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Corporation identified an error in the accounting for the Corporation sponsored Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”).  Additional information regarding this matter can be found in Note 1 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

a) An evaluation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedure (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 our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized 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.  Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our 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 also is 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.  Although the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were originally determined to be effective, because of the subsequent restatement of the Corporation’s financial statements, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted a reassessment of its disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007 are not effective 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 our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  The Corporation does not expect that its

38

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 also is 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.
