PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2003

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The balance sheet data at June 30, 2002 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (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. It is suggested that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002 (SEC File No. 000-28304 ) of the Corporation. Certain amounts in the prior periods' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of results for the full year.


Note 2: 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 stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the entity. The following table provides the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation:
Stock-based compensation -- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Corporation has been accounting for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Corporation's stock at the date of grant over grant price.

The Corporation has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123. Had compensation cost for the Corporation's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows (dollars in thousands, except earnings per share):

Note 4: Commitments and Derivative Financial Instruments

Commitments:
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 making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Total $ 66,541 $ 71,328


Derivative Financial Instruments:
In accordance with SFAS No. 133 and interpretations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Derivative Implementation Group, the fair value of the commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, forward loan sale agreements and put option contracts are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, and are included in other assets or (other liabilities). The Corporation is not applying 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 March 31, 2003 and 2002 was a gain of $208,000 and a gain of $63,000, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, the impact of derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations was a gain of $246,000 and a loss of $231,000, respectively.

Note 5: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 141:
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001; the use of the pooling-of-interest method is no longer allowed. The adoption of this statement had no material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SFAS No. 142:
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," requires that amortization of goodwill ceases and as an alternative, the carrying value of goodwill be evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis. Intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SFAS No. 144:
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," replaces SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. It also expands the reporting of discontinued operations to include all components of an entity with operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SFAS No. 146:
SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entities' commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. The provisions of this statement shall be effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after March 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SFAS No. 147:
In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions," which provides guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution.  This statement requires that the excess of the fair value of liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination represents goodwill that should be accounted for under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Thus, the specialized accounting guidance in paragraph 5 of SFAS No. 72,"Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," will not apply after September 30, 2002. If certain criteria in SFAS No. 147 are met, the amount of the unidentifiable intangible asset will be reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of the statement. Financial institutions meeting conditions outlined in SFAS No. 147 will be required to restate previously issued financial statements. Addi tionally, the scope of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," is amended to include long-term customer-relationship intangible assets such as depositor- and borrower-relationship intangible assets and credit cardholder intangible assets. This statement is effective for the Bank beginning October 1, 2002. The Corporation adopted the new standard as of October 1, 2002 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operation.

SFAS No. 148:
SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosures," amends SFAS No. 123 to provide an alternative method of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements about the method





11

<PAGE>



of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The provisions of SFAS No. 148 are effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, and for financial reports containing condensed financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Corporation has not determined whether it will adopt the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45:
In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, "Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others," an interpretation of SFAS Nos. 5, 57 and 107, and rescission of FIN No. 34,"Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after March 31, 2002; while, the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of such interpretation on January 1, 2003 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

FIN No. 46:
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN No. 46 requires that variable interest entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. FIN No. 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that companies are not required to consolidate but in which a company has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN No. 46 will apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements will apply to entities established prior to January 31, 2003 in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The disclosure requirements will apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The Corporation has begun to adopt the provisions of FIN No. 46 for interim periods beginning after March 31, 2002, and the provisions have not had a material effect on its results of operation or financial position.


Note 6: Subsequent Event

The Corporation announced on April 28, 2003 that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock. The cash dividend will be payable on June 6, 2003 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2003.


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 for 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 March 31, 2003, the Corporation had total assets of $1.2 billion, total deposits of $742.8 million and total stockholders' equity of $101.4 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 federally chartered and 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 under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System since 1956.



12

<PAGE>



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 these funds in single-family loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans, consumer loans and other real estate loans. In addition, 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 loan and investment portfolios and fees generated through its community banking and mortgage banking activities. There are various risks inherent in the Bank's business including, among others, interest rate changes and the prepayment of loans and in vestments.

The Corporation, from time to time, may repurchase its common stock as a way to enhance the Corporation's earnings per share. The Corporation considers the repurchase of its common stock if the market value of the stock is lower than its book value and/or the Corporation believes that the current stock price is under valued when compared to its current and future income projections. 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 normally 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, depending upon market conditions and the factors described above.

On January 29, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share to be paid on March 7, 2003 to shareholders of record on February 11, 2003. Subsequently, a quarterly cash dividend was also approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors as described in Note 6 of the Selected Notes to Unaudited Interim Financial Statements. 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 fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Selected Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.


Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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 judgments 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, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures," which requires 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 three components: (i) a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans, (ii) a specific allowance for identified problem loans and (iii) an unallocated


13

<PAGE>



allowance. 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. This 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 fair market value of collateral. The use of these values is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. For further details, see the "Provision for Loan Losses" section.

SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires that off-balance sheet derivatives of the Corporation be recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value. The Bank's derivatives are primarily the result of its mortgage banking activities in the form of commitments to extend credit (including servicing released premiums), commitments to sell loans and option contracts to hedge the risk of the commitments. Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. Estimates of the percentage of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale that will 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.


Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002

Total assets increased $176.8 million to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2003 from $1.0 billion at June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily a result of increases in loans held for investment, receivable from sale of loans and investment securities.

Total loans held for investment increased $108.3 million, or 18 percent, to $701.9 million at March 31, 2003 from $593.6 million at June 30, 2002. Despite a large number of loan prepayments during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 ($294.8 million), the Bank originated $406.3 million of loans held for investment, of which $135.3 million were "preferred" loans (meaning multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans). The Bank purchased $34.2 million of "preferred" loans during the period, which is included in the total loan originations, described above. The market area of the collateral that secures the purchased loans is primarily in Southern California. The balance of "preferred" loans increased to $198.6 million, or 28 percent of loans held for investment at March 31, 2003, as compared to $163.7 million, or 28 percent of the loans held for investment, at June 30, 2002. Purchased loans serviced by others at March 31, 2003 were $46.1 million or 7 percent of the loans held for investment, compared to $33.7 million, or 6 percent of the loans held for investment at June 30, 2002.

Total loans held for sale increased $4.7 million to $6.4 million at March 31, 2003 from $1.7 million at June 30, 2002, while the total receivable from the sale of loans increased $15.7 million to $82.9 million at March 31, 2003 from $67.2 million at June 30, 2002. These increases were the result of the timing differences between loan funding, loan sale and loan sale settlement dates.

Total investment securities increased $37.3 million, or 14 percent, to $309.2 million at March 31, 2003 from $271.9 million at June 30, 2002. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003, $217.8 million of investment securities were called by the issuers, $25.4 million were sold for a gain, $42.7 million of reductions were the result of mortgage-backed securities principal paydowns, while $325.9 million of investment securities were purchased. The high volume of called securities was primarily the result of a high volume of callable bonds purchased with coupon rates higher than market interest rates with short call dates during a period when interest rates declined significantly. The securities called were government agency callable bonds and were primarily issued by the FHLB, the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").

Total deposits increased $65.4 million, or 10 percent, to $742.8 million at March 31, 2003 from $677.4 million at June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $90.8 million in transaction accounts and a decrease of $25.4 million in certificates of deposit. A total of $7.6 million of deposits were added as a result of the completion of the deposit acquisition of the Valley Bank -- Sun City branch on December 16, 2002. The Corporation continued its focus of increasing transaction accounts and fee generating products and services by building client relationships.

Borrowings, which consist entirely of FHLB advances, increased $110.4 million, or 55 percent, to $312.9 million at March 31, 2003 from $202.5 million at June 30, 2002. On March 31, 2003, $102.0 million, or 33 percent, of total borrowings were overnight borrowings at 1.44 percent, which was used primarily to fund the receivable from sale of loans. The average maturity of the Corporation's existing FHLB advances was approximately 40 months (26 months, based on put dates) at March 31, 2003 as compared to the average maturity of 46 months (27 months, based on put dates) at June 30, 2002.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $1.6 million, or 2 percent, to $101.4 million at March 31, 2003, from $103.0 million at June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of the stock repurchases and the impact of stock based compensation accruals, partly offset by the net income during the first nine months of fiscal 2003. A total of 598,500 shares, with an average price of $25.62 per share, were repurchased during the first nine months of fiscal 2003. As a result of these stock repurchases, the March 2002 Stock Repurchase Plan was completed in September 2002, six months early. In September 2002, the Board of Directors approved the September 2002 Stock Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2003, a total of 418,800 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $26.65 per share under the September 2002 Stock Repurchase Plan, leaving approximately 110,800 shares available for repurchase. In July 2002, the Corporation awarded 12,558 shares of common stock to outside directors and certain officers pursuant to the Manag ement Recognition Plan ("MRP"). No MRP shares are available for future awards.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Nine months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002

The Corporation's net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $4.6 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 130 percent, from $2.0 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in the gain on sale of loans, net interest income and gain on sale of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses related to higher loan origination volumes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the Corporation's net income was $12.2 million, up $5.5 million or 82 percent from $6.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in the gain on sale of loans, net interest income and gain on sale of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses related to higher loan origination volumes.

The Corporation's net interest income before loan loss provisions increased by $1.7 million, or 26 percent to $8.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $6.5 million during the comparable period of fiscal 2002. This increase was the result of a higher net interest margin and higher average earning assets. The net interest margin improved to 2.96 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, up 37 basis points from 2.59 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase in the net interest margin during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was primarily a result of the decline in the average cost of funds, which outpaced the decline in the average yield of the earning assets. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the net interest income before loan loss provisions was $23.1 million, up $3.2 million, or 16 percent, from $19.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2002; and the net interest margin was 2.94 percent, up 35 basis points, from 2.59 percent. The increase in net interest i ncome during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was primarily attributable to a decline in the average cost of funds, which outpaced the decline in the average yield of the earning assets.

The Corporation's efficiency ratio improved to 47 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from 65 percent in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase in the efficiency ratio was mainly due to the increase in income, primarily from the increase in gains on sale of loans, while holding fixed operational costs relatively stable. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the efficiency ratio was 49 percent and 63 percent, respectively.

Return on average assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 increased 80 basis points to 1.56 percent from 0.76 percent in the same period last year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the return on average assets was 1.46 percent and 0.83 percent, respectively, an increase of 63 basis points.

Return on average equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 increased to 18.34 percent from 7.88 percent in the same period last year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the return on average equity was 15.94 percent and 8.92 percent, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $0.92, an increase of 149 percent from $0.37 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The increase in diluted earnings per share was the result of the higher net income recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and the shares purchased in connection with the Corporation's stock repurchase program during the last 12 months. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, diluted earnings per share were $2.36 and $1.23, respectively, an increase of 92 percent. The increase in the diluted earnings per share reflected the effect of the higher net income recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and the Corporation's stock repurchase program during the last 12 months.


Interest Income. Total interest income decreased by $292,000, or 2 percent, to $15.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $15.3 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of a lower average earning-asset yield, partly offset by higher average earning assets. The average yield on earning assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was 5.45 percent, 69 basis points lower than the average yield of 6.14 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The average earning assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 were $1.10 billion, an increase of $104.7 million or 10 percent, from $998.0 million during the same period of fiscal 2002.

Loan interest income increased $435,000, or 4 percent, to $12.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $12.0 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was attributable to a higher average loan balance, partially offset by a lower average loan yield. The average balance of loans outstanding, including the receivable from sale of loans and the loans held for sale, increased $103.9 million, or 16 percent, to $767.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $663.7 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. The average loan yield during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was 6.49 percent as compared to 7.24 percent during the same quarter last year. The decline in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to the prepayment of higher yielding loans, portfolio loans adjusting to lower interest rates and new mortgage loans originated with lower interest rates.

Interest income from investment securities decreased $358,000, or 13 percent, to $2.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $2.7 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in the average yield, which was partly offset by an increase in the average balance. The yield on the investment securities portfolio decreased 189 basis points from 4.85 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 to 2.96 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The average balance of investment securities increased $93.5 million, or 42 percent, to $316.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $223.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase in the average balance and the lower average yield of investment securities were primarily due to Management's decision to increase short-term investments. This action was taken to improve the net interest income and to augment the lower growth in the average loan balance resulting from rel atively high loan prepayments.

FHLB stock dividends increased by $38,000, or 19 percent, to $234,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $196,000 in the same period of fiscal 2002. This increase was attributable to a higher average balance, partially offset by a lower average yield. The average balance of FHLB stock increased $3.2 million to $18.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $14.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The average yield on FHLB stock decreased 11 basis points to 5.16 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from 5.27 percent during the same period last year. The decrease in the average yield was primarily a result of decreases in accruals reflecting lower dividends paid by the FHLB.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits decreased $407,000 to $1,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $408,000 in the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease was attributable to a lower average balance and a lower average yield. The average balance of interest-earning deposits decreased to $301,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $96.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in the average balance was primarily attributable to a decrease of federal funds investments. The average yield on the interest-bearing deposits decreased 36 basis points to 1.33 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from 1.69 percent during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. The decline in the average yield was primarily a result of the lower federal funds rate during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2002.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, total interest income decreased $5.9 million, or 12 percent, to $44.8 million as compared to $50.7 million for the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily


16

<PAGE>



attributable to a decrease in the average yield on earning assets, partly offset by an increase in the average balance. The average yield on earning assets decreased 89 basis points to 5.71 percent during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from 6.60 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The average balance of earning assets increased $20.2 million, or 2 percent, to $1.05 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $1.03 billion during the same period of fiscal 2002.

Interest income from loans decreased by $2.9 million, or 7 percent, to $36.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $39.6 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average yield on earning assets, partly offset by an increase in the average balance. The average yield on loans decreased 76 basis points to 6.69 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to 7.45 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The average loans outstanding increased $22.4 million, or 3 percent, to $730.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from $708.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The decline in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to loan prepayments and portfolio loans adjusting to lower interest rates as a result of the significant decline in mortgage interest rates, in addition to new mortgage loans originated with lower interest rates.

Interest income from investment securities decreased $1.8 million, or 19 percent, to $7.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from $9.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in the average yield, which was partly offset by an increase in the average balance. The yield on the investment securities decreased 209 basis points from 5.44 percent during the nine months ending March 31, 2002 to 3.35 percent during the nine months ending March 31, 2003. The average balance of investment securities increased $69.1 million to $298.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $229.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase in the average balance and the lower average yield of investment securities were primarily attributable to an increase in short-term investments. In the first nine months of fiscal 2003, $114,000 of discounts on investment securities were accelerated into interest income resulting from $189.1 mil lion of called investment securities as compared to $249,000 of discounts that were accelerated into income as a result of $220.9 million of called investment securities in the same period of fiscal 2002. Excluding the acceleration of discounts, the average yield in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002 would have been 3.30 percent and 5.29 percent, respectively.

FHLB stock dividends increased $48,000, or 8 percent, to $627,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $579,000 in the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase was attributable to a higher average yield and a slightly higher average balance. The average yield on FHLB stock increased 40 basis points to 5.38 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from 4.98 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase in the average yield was primarily due to higher dividend accruals based upon the actual dividends received for the prior period. The average balance of FHLB stock remained at $15.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2002.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits decreased to $10,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $1.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. This decrease was primarily a result of a lower average balance and a lower average yield. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased to $929,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from $72.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in the average balance was primarily attributable to a decrease of federal funds investments. The average yield on the interest-bearing deposits decreased 81 basis points to 1.44 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 from 2.25 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002.


Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $6.9 million as compared to $8.9 million for the same period of fiscal 2002, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 22 percent. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost, partially offset by a higher average balance. The average cost of liabilities was 2.70 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, down 118 basis points from 3.88 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $107.1 million, or 12 percent, to $1.03 billion during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 from $925.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2002.

Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $3.9 million as compared to $5.4 million for the same period of fiscal 2002, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 28 percent. The decrease in

<PAGE>



interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a lower average cost, partially offset by a higher average balance. The average cost of deposits decreased to 2.17 percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 3.12 percent during the same quarter of fiscal 2002, a decline of 95 basis points. The decline in the average cost of deposits was attributable to the general decline in interest rates and also to the change in the composition of the deposits. The average balance of transaction accounts increased to 56 percent of total deposits in the third quarter of fiscal 2003, compared to 45 percent of the total deposits in the same period of fiscal 2002. Average outstanding deposits increased $30.4 million, or 4 percent, to $726.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $696.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2002.

Interest expense on borrowings for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $3.0 million as compared to $3.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2002, a decrease of $538,000, or 15 percent. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was primarily a result of a lower average cost, partially offset by a higher average balance. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 3.94 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from 6.22 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2002, a decline of 228 basis points. The decline in the average cost of borrowings was primarily attributable to the utilization of overnight funding with an average balance of $95.1 million and an average cost of 1.37 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to no overnight funding in the same quarter of fiscal 2002. In addition, $21.0 million of long-term advances with an average cost of 6.21 percent matured while $6.0 million of new long-term advances with an average cost of 2.96 percent were added in the third quarter of fi scal 2003. The average balance of borrowings was $305.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $228.7 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2002, an increase of $76.8 million, or 34 percent.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, total interest expense decreased $9.1 million, or 30 percent, to $21.7 million as compared to $30.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in total interest expense was primarily attributable to a lower average cost, partially offset by a higher average balance. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 133 basis points to 2.98 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to 4.31 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities during the nine-month period of fiscal 2003 increased $19.8 million, or 2 percent, to $972.0 million as compared to $952.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2002.

The average cost of deposits decreased 125 basis points to 2.37 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to 3.62 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The decline in the average cost was attributable to the general decline in interest rates and the change in the composition of deposits. The average balance of deposits remained virtually unchanged from fiscal 2002 at $707.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2003. The average balance of transaction deposits increased to 53 percent of total deposits in the first nine months of fiscal 2003, compared to 42 percent of the total deposits in the same period of fiscal 2002.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, interest expense on borrowings decreased $2.5 million, or 22 percent, to $9.1 million as compared to $11.6 million for the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was primarily attributable to a lower average cost, partially offset by a higher average balance.

The average balance of borrowings increased $19.9 million, or 8 percent, to $265.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to $245.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. A decline in the average cost of borrowings was primarily a result of increased overnight funding with an average balance of $66.0 million and an average cost of 1.47 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to no overnight funding in the same period of fiscal 2002. In additi on, $44.5 million of long-term advances with an average cost of 6.36 percent matured while $76.0 million of new long-term advances with an average cost of 3.51 percent were added in the first nine months of fiscal 2003.

Provision for Loan Losses. A $205,000 loan loss provision was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2003, as compared to $129,000 during the same period of fiscal 2002, an increase of $76,000, or 59 percent. The increase in the provision was primarily a result of the sequential quarter growth in loans held for investment, a higher proportion of "preferred" loans in the loans held for investment, the downgrade of two construction loans totaling $1.1 million and the $219,000 charge off of a commercial business loan. For nine months ended March 31, 2003, a $970,000 loan loss provision was recorded as compared to $375,000 for the same period of fiscal 2002, an increase of $595,000, or 159 percent. The increase in provision was a result of the sequential quarter growth in loans held for investment, a higher proportion of "preferred" loans in the loans held for investment, the downgrade of two construction loans totaling $1.1 million, specific loss provisions, totaling $233,000 for commercial busi ness loans to two borrowers, and the $219,000 charge off of a commercial business loan.

The allowance for loan losses was $7.4 million at March 31, 2003 as compared to $6.6 million at June 30, 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was 1.04 percent at March 31, 2003 as compared to 1.10 percent at June 30, 2002.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and upon Management's continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, and determination of the realizable value of the collateral securing the loans. Provisions for losses are charged against operations on a monthly basis as necessary to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels. Management believes that the amount maintained in the allowance will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. Although Management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Corporation's loan portfolio , will not request the Corporation to increase significantly its allowance for loan losses. Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the control of the Corporation.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $3.0 million, or 81 percent, to $6.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $3.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to increases in the gain on sale of loans and the gain on sale of investment securities.


23

<PAGE>



The gain on sale of loans increased $2.6 million, or 113 percent, to $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $2.3 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily the result of a higher average loan sale margin, a higher volume of loans originated for sale and a favorable SFAS No. 133 adjustment. The average loan sale margin during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 was 1.42 percent as compared to 0.89 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The higher loan sale margin was primarily due to the high demand for mortgage loans, an improved product mix (a larger percentage of loans sold with a higher loan sale margin) and better execution in the sale of loans. Total loans originated for sale during the third quarter of fiscal 2003 increased $33.1 million, or 12 percent, to $302.2 million as compared to $269.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Also included in the gain on sale of loans was a recognition of $208,000 of net unrealized gains on commitments to originate and sell loans along with put option activities (SFAS No. 133) in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to a gain of $63,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2002.

The average profit margin for PBM in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was 98 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively. The average profit margin is defined as income before taxes divided by total loans funded during the period (including brokered loans) adjusted for the change in commitments to extend credit. There were three principle reasons for the increase of the profit margin: (i) the emphasis on originating the most profitable mortgage loan products; (ii) the economies of scale realized by producing larger loan volumes with relatively fixed operating expenses; and (iii) the extraordinary pricing opportunities given the consumer demand for mortgage loan products during the period.

The gain on sale of investment securities increased by $407,000 to $428,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $21,000 during the same quarter of fiscal 2002. The Bank sold $15.4 million of investment securities for a gain of $428,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 as compared to the sale of $1.3 million of investment securities for a gain of $21,000 in the same period of fiscal 2002.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, total non-interest income increased $7.3 million, or 62 percent, to $19.0 million from $11.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to increases in the gain on sale of loans and the gain on sale of investment securities.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the gain on sale of loans increased $6.6 million, or 89 percent, to $14.0 million from $7.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily as a result of a higher average loan sale margin, a higher volume of loans originated for sale and a favorable SFAS No. 133 adjustment. The average loan sale margin during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 was 1.49 percent as compared to 0.86 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002. The higher loan sale margin was primarily due to the high demand for mortgage loans, an improved product mix (a larger percentage of loans sold with a higher loan sale margin) and better execution in the sale of loans. Also included in the gain on sale of loans was a recognition of $246,000 of net unrealized gains on commitments to originate and sell loans along with put option activities (SFAS No. 133) in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to a loss of $231,000 in the same period of fiscal 2002.

The average profit margin for PBM in the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002 was 101 basis points and 53 basis points, respectively.

The gain on sale of investment securities increased by $540,000 to $694,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 from $154,000 during the same period of fiscal 2002. The Bank sold $25.4 million of investment securities for a gain of $694,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2003 as compared to the sale of $21.3 million of investment securities for a gain of $154,000 in the same period of fiscal 2002.


Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $389,000, or 6 percent, to $7.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $6.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in loan production related expenses, such as commissions paid to loan agents, employee incentives, marketing expenses and other loan origination expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional and other operating expenses. The efficiency ratio in the third quarter of fiscal 2003 improved to 47 percent as compared to 65 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002.


24

<PAGE>



For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, total non-interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 5 percent, to $20.8 million from $19.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in premises and occupancy expenses and an increase in loan production related expenses, such as commissions paid to loan agents, employee incentives, marketing expense and other loan origination expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in equipment, professional and other operating expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, the efficiency ratio improved to 49 percent from 63 percent during the same period of fiscal 2002.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $1.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. The effective tax rate for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was approximately 40 percent and 42 percent, respectively.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2003, income tax expense was $8.2 million as compared to $4.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2002. In December 2002, the Corporation filed an amended state tax return for fiscal 2000 resulting in a $78,000 refund. This amount was recorded as a receivable in December 2002. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was approximately 40 percent and 42 percent, respectively.


Asset Quality. Non-accrual loans, which primarily consisted of single-family loans, decreased $540,000, or 41 percent, to $779,000 at March 31, 2003 from $1.3 million at June 30, 2002. 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 decreased to 0.11 percent at March 31, 2003 from 0.22 percent at June 30, 2002. Non-performing assets, including real estate owned, as a percentage of total assets decreased to 0.09 percent at March 31, 2003 from 0.16 percent at June 30, 2002.

The Corporation reviews loans individually to identify when impairment has occurred. Loans are identified as impaired when it is deemed probable that the borrower will be unable to meet the scheduled principal and interest payments 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 Corporation may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Corporation's primary sources of funding includes deposits, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments, sales of loans, the maturity of, principal payments on and interest income on investment securities, and FHLB advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, loan sales, and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.

The Bank has a standard credit facility available from the FHLB of San Francisco equal to 40 percent of its total assets, collateralized by loans and securities. As of March 31, 2003, the Bank's available credit facility from the FHLB was $161.3 million. In addition to the FHLB credit facility, the Bank has an



27

<PAGE>



unsecured line of credit in the amount of $45.0 million with its correspondent bank. Additionally, available for sale investment securities, which total $202.1 million as of March 31, 2003, can be sold to generate liquidity.

The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth, to cover deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents totaled $32.3 million, or 3 percent of total assets. Depending on market conditions and the pricing of deposit products and FHLB borrowings, the Bank may rely on FHLB borrowings or unsecured lines of credit for its liquidity needs.

Although the OTS eliminated the minimum liquidity requirement for savings institutions in April 2001, regulation still requires thrifts to maintain adequate liquidity to assure safe and sound operation. The Bank's average liquidity ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 decreased to 34 percent from 39 percent during the same period ending March 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily a result of redeployment of available cash flows into loans held for investment or non-qualifying investments.

The Bank continues to experience a large volume of loan prepayments in its loan portfolio and it continues to be a challenge to reinvest these cash flows in assets that carry similar or better interest rate risk characteristics. The recent refinance market has been dominated by fixed rate loans and the Bank does not add long-term fixed rate loans to its portfolio, particularly when interest rates are at or near historical lows. Therefore, although the Bank has taken steps to address the issue of rising liquidity levels, a large percentage of its earning assets are invested at significantly lower rates than desirable. The Bank has mitigated the impact of this in several ways. The Bank has increased the balance of the investment securities portfolio, generated more loans for portfolio from its mortgage banking, business banking and major loan divisions, and purchased commercial real estate and construction loans from other financial institutions. This has been accomplished with prudent interest-rate-risk management practices.

The Bank is committed to changing the loan portfolio composition with more emphasis on multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans. These loans generally have higher yields than single-family loans. During the third quarter of fiscal 2003, the volume of loans generated for portfolio increased $28.4 million, or 32 percent, to $117.8 million as compared to $89.4 million in the comparable period last year. Of the total loans generated for portfolio, $34.2 million, or 29 percent were "preferred" loans. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003, the volume of loans generated for portfolio increased $212.7 million, or 110 percent, to $406.3 million as compared to $193.6 million in the comparable period last year. Of the total loans generated for portfolio, $135.2 million, or 33 percent were "preferred" loans.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet certain 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 classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

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 making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money to a customer at some future date as long as all conditions have been met in the agreement. These commitments generally have expiration dates within 60 days of the commitment date and may require the payment of a fee. Since some of these commitments are expected to expire, the total commitment amount outstanding does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis prior to issuing a commitment. Interest rates on commitments to extend credit ranged from 3.75% to 11.50% at March 31, 2003 as compared to 6.00% to 14.50% at June 30, 2002. Commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for investment were $35.4 million at March 31, 2003 as compared to $18.2 million at June 30, 2002.

<PAGE>



In an effort to minimize its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on commitments to extend credit where the underlying loan will be sold, the Corporation enters into forward loan sale agreements to sell certain dollar amounts of fixed rate and adjustable rate loans to third parties. These agreements specify the minimum maturity of the loans, the yield to the purchaser, the servicing spread to the Corporation (if servicing is retained), the maximum principal amount of all loans to be delivered and the maximum principal amount of individual loans to be delivered. The Corporation typically satisfies these forward loan sale agreements with its current loan production; at March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2002 the aggregate amount of loans held for sale and of commitments to extend credit on loans to be sold exceeded the Corporation's forward loan sale agreements, due to the commitments to extend credit which may not fund. Interest rates on forward loan sale agreements ranged from 4.50 percent to 6.00 percent at M arch 31, 2003 as compared to 5.50 percent to 7.00 percent at June 30, 2002.

In addition to the instruments described above, the Corporation also purchases over-the-counter put option contracts (with expiration dates that generally coincide with the terms of the commitments to extend credit) which mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in commitments to extend credit. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Corporation has in this particular class of financial instruments. The Corporation's exposure to loss on these financial instruments is limited to the premiums paid for the put option contracts. Put options are adjusted to market in accordance with SFAS No. 133.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133 and interpretations of the FASB's Derivative Implementation Group, the fair value of the commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, forward loan sale agreements and put option contracts are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, and are included in other assets or (other liabilities). The Corporation is not applying 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 March 31, 2003 and 2002 was a gain of $208,000 and a gain of $63,000, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2003 and 2002, the impact of derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations was a gain of $246,000 and a loss of $231,000, respectively.

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 either the amounts required for its liquidation account or the regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal and state regulation. Fiscal year to date, the Bank paid $24.8 million of cash dividends to the Corporation. On January 29, 2003, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on the Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock; a total of $251,000 was paid on March 7, 2003 to shareholders of record on February 11, 2003.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 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 current 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 due to a wide range of factors including, but not limited to, the general business environment, interest rates, the California real estate market, competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial services providers, regulatory changes, and other risks detailed in the Corporation's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Forward-looking statements are effective only as of the date that they are made and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update this information.

ITEM 3 -- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The principal financial objective of the Corporation's interest rate risk management function is to achieve long-term profitability while limiting its exposure to the fluctuation of interest rates. The Bank, through its Asset and Liability Committee ("ALCO"), has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by managing the mismatch between asset and liability maturities. The principal element in achieving this objective is to manage the interest-rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets by holding loans with interest rates subject to periodic market adjustments. In addition, the Bank maintains a liquid investment portfolio comprised of government agency securities, including mortgage backed securities, and investment grade securities. The Bank relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funding while



31

<PAGE



utilizing FHLB advances as a secondary source of funding. As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, the Bank promotes transaction accounts and certificates of deposit with terms up to five years.

Through the use of an internal interest rate risk model, the Bank 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 the net present value of expected 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 at least 100 basis points with no effect given to any steps which management might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement.

The results of the internal interest rate risk model are reconciled with the results provided by the OTS on a quarterly basis. Any significant deviations are researched and adjusted where applicable. Historically, the internal model has generally reflected a more conservative position than the OTS model.

The following table is provided by the OTS, which represents the NPV based on the indicated changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2003 (dollars in thousands).

      at March 31, 2003 ("base case").
(2)  Calculated as the NPV divided by the Portfolio Value of Assets ("PV Assets").
(3)  Calculated as the change in the NPV ratio from the base case amount assuming the indicated change in
      interest rates (expressed in basis points).

The following table represents the change in the NPV at a -100 basis point rate shock at March 31, 2003 and a +200 basis point rate shock at June 30, 2002.


Risk measure: +200/-100 basis point rate shock At March 31, 2003 (1) At June 30, 2002 (1)

Pre-shock NPV ratio: NPV as a % of PV Assets 9.70 % 11.71%
Post-shock NPV ratio: NPV as a % of PV Assets 9.32% 10.33%
Sensitivity measure: Change in NPV Ratio 38 bp 138 bp

(1)  Based on the interest rate risk analysis provided by the OTS.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. 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 adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans, have features, which 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



32

<PAGE



from certificates of deposit could likely deviate significantly from those assumed when calculating 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 above 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 Bank, nor does it represent amounts that would be available for distribution to stockholders in the event of the liquidation of the Corporation.


ITEM 4 -- Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. An evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedure (as defined in Section 13(a)-14(c) 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 within the 90-day period preceding the filing date of this quarterly report. The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are 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 wit hin the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. In the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Corporation did not make any significant changes in, nor were any corrective actions required, regarding its internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
