SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2004
Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The balance sheet data at June 30, 2004 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 ("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 s tatements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004 (SEC File No. 000-28304). 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 quarter and six months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

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 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. The following table provides the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

	For the Quarter Ended December 31,		For the Six Months Ended December 31,
	For the Quarter Ended December 31,		For the Six Months Ended December 31,
	2004	2003	2004	2003
Numerator for basic earnings per share and
diluted earnings per share:
Net income available to common
stockholders	$ 5,034,370	$ 3,090,723	$ 9,289,274	$ 6,671,681

Denominator for basic earnings per share:
Weighted-average shares	6,576,530	6,695,202	6,589,145	6,741,154

Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock option dilution	519,932	453,429	488,437	456,684
Stock award dilution	11,323	14,421	12,982	16,282

Denominator for diluted earnings per share:
Adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions	7,107,785	7,163,052	7,090,564	7,214,120

Basic earnings per share	$ 0.77	$ 0.46	$ 1.41	$ 0.99
Diluted earnings per share	$ 0.71	$ 0.43	$ 1.31	$ 0.92

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 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 common stock at the date of grant over the grant (exercise) price. See Note 6 on page 11 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements for a discussion of SFAS No. 123R.

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

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 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.

In accordance with SFAS No. 133 and interpretations of the Derivative Implementation Group of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), 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 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, 2004 and 2003 was a gain of $132,000 and a loss of $244,000, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the net impact of derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations was a gain of $173,000 and a loss of $672,000, respectively.

The fair value of servicing released premiums at December 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were zero (not recognized), zero (not recognized) and $326,000, respectively.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Corporation adopted the SEC guidance regarding loan commitments that are recognized as derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133. As a result of implementing the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments," the Corporation excludes the recognition of servicing released premiums in the valuation of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale. The Corporation's previous practice had been to recognize, at the inception of the rate lock, the anticipated servicing released premiums on the underlying loans. The

<PAGE>

Corporation elected to prospectively apply this guidance to new loan commitments initiated after January 1, 2004. This action results in a delay in the recognition of servicing released premiums until the underlying loans are funded and sold.

Note 5: Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As discussed in Note 4, 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. As of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, the Corporation had commitments to extend credit of $79.4 million and $86.9 million, respectively.

Note 6: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 123R:
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance and is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation." This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. A public entity will initially measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current fair value; the fair value of that award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The revised accounting for stock-based compensation requirements must be adopted by the Corporation no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Management does not anticipate that this will have a material effect on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Had the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123R in prior periods, the impact of the net income and earnings per share would have been approximately similar to the pro forma net income and earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 123 as disclosed in the table on page 7.

FIN No. 46R:
In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46R, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN No. 46R 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. 46R also requires disclosure about variable interest entities that companies are not required to consolidate but in which a company has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements were required to be adopted no later than the beginning of the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46R did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

SOP 03-3:
In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 03-3 ("SOP 03-3"), "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." SOP 03-3 addresses the accounting for differences between

<PAGE>

contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from purchased loans or debt securities if those differences are attributable, in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 requires purchased loans and debt securities to be recorded initially at fair value based on the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected with no carryover of any valuation allowance previously recognized by the seller. Interest income should be recognized based on the effective yield from the cash flows expected to be collected. To the extent that the purchased loans or debt securities experience subsequent deterioration in credit quality, a valuation allowance would be established for any additional cash flows that are not expected to be received. However, if more cash flows were subsequently expected to be received than originally estimated, the effective yield would be adjusted on a prospective basis. SOP 03-3 will be effective for loans and debt securities acquired after December 31, 2004. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

EITF No. 03-1:
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached consensus on the guidance provided in EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments" ("EITF 03-1") as applicable to debt and equity securities that are within the scope of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and equity securities that are accounted for using the cost method specified in Accounting Policy Board Opinion No. 18 "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock." An investment is impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. EITF 03-1 outlines that an impairment would be considered other-than-temporary unless: a) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment, and b) evidence indicating that the cost o f the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. Although not presumptive, a pattern of selling investments prior to the forecasted recovery of fair value may call into question the investor's intent. The severity and duration of the impairment should also be considered in determining whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. In September 2004 the FASB staff issued a proposed Board-directed FASB Staff Position, FSP EITF Issue 03-1-a, "Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1". The proposed FSP would provide implementation guidance with respect to debt securities that are impaired solely due to interest rates and/or sector spreads and analyzed for other-than-temporary impairment under paragraph 16 of Issue 03-1. The FASB also issued FSP EITF Issue 03-1-b, which delays the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1. The delay does not su spend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature.

Note 7: Subsequent Events

On January 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank declared a cash dividend of $2.8 million to the Corporation, which was paid on January 31, 2005.

On January 26, 2005, the Corporation announced a cash dividend of $0.14 per share on the Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock for shareholders of record at the close of business on February 18, 2005, payable on March 14, 2005.

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 December 31, 2004, the Corporation had total assets of $1.5 billion, total deposits of $911.4 million and total stockholders' equity of $116.4 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.

<PAGE>

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 under the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") 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 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 and 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 pre payment of loans and investments.

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 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. 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, depending upon market conditions and the factors described above. On June 28, 2004, the Corporation announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of its common stock, or approximately 354,585 shares, over a one-year period. Please refer to the Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities table under Part II, Item 2 - "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" on page 35.

The Corporation began to distribute quarterly cash dividends in the quarter ended September 30, 2002. On October 29, 2004, the Corporation announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share for the Corporation's shareholders of record at the close of the business day on November 23, 2004, which was paid on December 17, 2004. 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 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 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, 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,

<PAGE>

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, interest rates, the California real estate market, the demand for loans, 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, 2004. Forward-looking statements are effective only as of the date that they are made and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update this 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 and conform to prevailing practices within the banking industry. 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. Management considers the accounting for the allowance for loan losses and accounting for derivatives to be critical accounting policies.

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. 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 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 three components: (i) a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans; (ii) a specific allowance for identified problem loans; and (iii) an unallocated 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. 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 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" narrative on page 23.

Interest is generally not accrued on any loan when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent. In addition, interest is not recognized on any loan for which management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured. A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status either when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current, the loan is paying in accordance with its payment terms for a minimum six-month period, or future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.

Properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are transferred to the real estate owned portfolio and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the estimated costs to sell the property. The fair values of the properties are based upon current appraisals. The difference between the fair value of the real estate collateral and the loan balance at the time of the transfer is recorded as a loan charge-off if fair value is lower. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs additional valuations, and the properties are adjusted, if necessary, to the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs. The determination of a property's estimated fair value includes revenues projected to be realized from disposal of the property, construction and renovation costs.

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. 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 and option contracts to hedge the risk of the commitments.

<PAGE>

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. In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Corporation adopted the SEC guidance regarding loan commitments that are recognized as derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133. As a result of implementing the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments," the Corporation excludes the recognition of servicing released premiums in the valuation of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale. The Corporation's previous practice had been to recognize, at the inception of the rate lock, the anticipated servicing released premiums on the underlying loans. The Corporation elected to prospectively apply this guidance to new loan commitments initiated after January 1, 2004. This action results in a delay in the recognition of servicing released premiums until the underlying loans are funded and sold.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004

Total assets increased $197.5 million, or 15 percent, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2004 from $1.3 billion at June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in loans held for investment and receivable from sale of loans.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $20.8 million, or 54 percent, to $17.5 million at December 31, 2004 from $38.3 million at June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily the result of having excess liquidity of approximately $18.0 million at June 30, 2004, resulting from funds received late in the day.

Total investment securities increased $10.4 million, or four percent, to $263.0 million at December 31, 2004 from $252.6 million at June 30, 2004. For the first six months of fiscal 2005, $49.3 million of investment securities were purchased, while $7.0 million of investment securities matured or were called by the issuers and $31.2 million of reductions were the result of mortgage-backed securities principal prepayments.

Loans held for investment, net of allowance for loan losses, increased $176.7 million, or 20 percent, to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2004 from $862.5 million at June 30, 2004. In the first six months of fiscal 2005, the Bank originated $436.0 million of loans held for investment, of which $129.0 million, or 30 percent, were "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans), including the purchase of $26.5 million of preferred loans during the period. Total loan prepayments during the first six months of fiscal 2005 were $255.5 million. The balance of preferred loans increased to $283.2 million, or 27 percent of loans held for investment at December 31, 2004, as compared to $240.6 million, or 28 percent of loans held for investment, at June 30, 2004. Purchased loans serviced by others at December 31, 2004 were $40.9 million or four percent of loans held for investment, compared to $43.6 million, or five percent of loans held for investment at June 30, 2004.

Loans held for sale decreased $10.2 million, or 51 percent, to $9.9 million at December 31, 2004 from $20.1 million at June 30, 2004. The decrease was the result of the timing differences between loan funding and loan sale dates.

Receivable from the sale of loans increased $35.8 million, or 41 percent, to $122.3 million at December 31, 2004 from $86.5 million at June 30, 2004. The increase was the result of the timing differences between loan sale and loan sale settlement dates.

FHLB stock increased $5.7 million, or 20 percent, to $33.6 million at December 31, 2004 from $27.9 million at June 30, 2004. The increase was the result of an increase to FHLB stock requirements, resulting from an increase in FHLB borrowings.

Total deposits increased $60.4 million, or seven percent, to $911.4 million at December 31, 2004 from $851.0 million at June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $91.2 million in time deposits, partly offset by a decrease of $30.8 million in transaction accounts. The increase in time deposits and the decrease in transaction accounts was attributable primarily to the increase in interest rates and the Bank's marketing campaign to lock-in time deposits during a low rate environment during the first six months of fiscal 2005.

Borrowings, which consisted entirely of FHLB advances, increased $138.5 million, or 43 percent, to $463.4 million at December 31, 2004 from $324.9 million at June 30, 2004. The increase in borrowings was used to augment the funding needs, in addition to deposits, for the increase in loans held for investment and receivable from the sale of loans. The weighted-average maturity of the Bank's FHLB advances was approximately 37 months (29 months, based on put dates) at December 31, 2004 as compared to the weighted-average maturity of 45 months (33 months, based on put dates) at June 30, 2004.

Total stockholders' equity increased $6.4 million, or six percent, to $116.4 million at December 31, 2004, from $110.0 million at June 30, 2004, primarily as a result of the net income during the first six months of fiscal 2005, which was partly offset by common stock repurchases. During the first six months of fiscal 2005, a total of 110,000 shares were repurchased under the existing stock repurchase program at an average price of $23.23 per share. As of December 31, 2004, 31 percent of the authorized shares under the June 2004 stock repurchase plan were purchased, leaving approximately 244,585 shares available for future repurchase.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Six Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

The Corporation's net income for the second quarter ended December 31, 2004 was $5.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million, or 61 percent, from $3.1 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income and gain on sale of loans, partly offset by an increase in non-interest expense. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the Corporation's net income was $9.3 million, up $2.6 million or 39 percent from $6.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income, gain on sale of loans and gain on sale of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

The Corporation's net interest income before loan loss provisions increased by $1.6 million, or 18 percent, to $10.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $8.8 million during the comparable period of fiscal 2004. This increase was the result of higher average earning assets, partially offset by a lower net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets increased $227.3 million, or 19 percent, to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from $1.2 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2004. The net interest margin decreased to 2.93 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, down 2 basis points from 2.95 percent during the same period of fiscal 2004. The decrease in the net interest margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was primarily attributable to an increase in the average cost of funds, which was more than the increase in the average yield of earning assets. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the net interest income before loan loss provisions was $20.3 million, up $3.1 million, or 18 percent, from $17.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. This increase was the result of higher average

<PAGE>

earning assets and a higher net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets increased $190.1 million, or 16 percent, to $1.4 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2005 from $1.2 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2004. The net interest margin increased to 2.98 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2005, up 6 basis point from 2.92 percent during the same period of fiscal 2004.

The Corporation's efficiency ratio improved to 48 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from 56 percent in the same period of fiscal 2004. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the efficiency ratio was 48 percent and 55 percent, respectively.

Return on average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased 38 basis points to 1.37 percent from 0.99 percent in the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the return on average assets was 1.31 percent and 1.07 percent, respectively, an increase of 24 basis points.

Return on average equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased to 17.60 percent from 11.90 percent in the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the return on average equity was 16.50 percent and 12.87 percent, respectively.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, diluted earnings per share were $1.31 and $0.92, respectively, an increase of 42 percent.

Interest Income. Total interest income increased by $3.0 million, or 20 percent, to $18.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from $15.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily the result of a higher average earning assets balance and a higher average earning asset yield. The average yield on earning assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was 5.15 percent, 3 basis points higher than the average yield of 5.12 percent during the same period of fiscal 2004. Increases in the average yield on investment securities and FHLB stock were partly offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans.

Loan interest income increased $2.8 million, or 22 percent, to $15.8 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $13.0 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2004. 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 loans held for sale, increased $214.2 million, or 24 percent, to $1.1 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from $901.8 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2004. The average loan yield during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased to 5.65 percent from 5.75 percent during the same quarter last year. The decline in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to the prepayment of higher yielding loans, adjustable portfolio loans adjusting to lower interest rates and new mortgage loans originated with lower interest rates.

Interest income from investment securities increased $97,000, or five percent, to $2.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $2.1 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily a result of increases in average balance and average yield. The average balance of investment securities increased $4.6 million, or two percent, to $268.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from $264.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2004. The average yield on the investment securities portfolio increased 9 basis points to 3.23 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from 3.14 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The increase in the average yield of investment securities was primarily the result of a reduction of the mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") principal prepayments with a corresponding reduction to the MBS premium amortization. The MBS premium/discount amortization is comprised of a scheduled amortization based on the estimated average life of the MBS at the time of purchase and an accelerated amortization resulting from a shorter average life of the MBS. The accelerated amortization in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 declined by $198,000 to $151,000 as compared to $349,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2004. The decline in the accelerated amortization resulted in a 30-basis point increase in the investment yield.

FHLB stock dividends increased by $100,000, or 49 percent, to $303,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from $203,000 in the same period of fiscal 2004. This increase was attributable to a higher average balance and a higher average yield. The average balance of FHLB stock increased $9.4 million to $31.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from $22.0 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase in FHLB stock was in accordance with the borrowing requirements of the FHLB. The

<PAGE>

average yield on FHLB stock increased 17 basis points to 3.86 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 from 3.69 percent during the same period last year. The increase in the average yield was primarily a result of higher dividend accruals based upon the actual dividends received in the prior periods.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, total interest income increased $5.2 million, or 17 percent, to $35.3 million as compared to $30.1 million for the same period of fiscal 2004.

The average loans outstanding increased $183.3 million, or 21 percent, to $1.1 billion during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $887.4 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The average yield on loans decreased 13 basis points to 5.69 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2005 as compared to 5.82 percent during the same period of fiscal 2004. 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 increased $343,000, or nine percent, to $4.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $3.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in the average yield, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance. The yield on the investment securities increased 27 basis points to 3.18 percent during the six months ending December 31, 2004 from 2.91 percent during the six months ending December 31, 2003. The average balance of investment securities decreased $1.5 million to $264.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 from $265.7 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase in the average yield of investment securities was primarily the result of a reduction of the mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") principal prepayments with a corresponding reduction to the MBS premium amortization. The accelerated amortization in the first six mont hs of fiscal 2005 declined by $692,000 to $342,000 as compared to $1.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2004. The decline in the accelerated amortization resulted in a 52 basis point increase of in the investment yield.

This increase was primarily a result of a higher average yield, partly offset by a lower average balance. The average balance of interest-earning deposits decreased to $1.4 million during the first six months of fiscal 2005 from $1.7 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The decrease in the average balance was primarily attributable to a decrease of federal funds investments. The average yield on the interest-bearing deposits increased 37 basis points to 1.57 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2005 from 1.20 percent during the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase in the average yield reflects the federal funds rate increases during the first six months of fiscal 2005.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 was $7.9 million as compared to $6.5 million for the same period of fiscal 2004, an increase of $1.4 million, or 22 percent.

Provision for Loan Losses. A $260,000 loan loss provision was recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2005, as compared to $269,000 during the same period of fiscal 2004. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, there were specific valuation allowance recoveries on two classified commercial business loans. In addition, one "substandard" single-family loan and two "special mention" construction loans were paid off. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the loan loss provision was $902,000, an increase of 235 percent from $269,000 in the comparable period last year. The loan loss provision was recorded primarily in response to loan growth during the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2005, particularly in "preferred" loans, which have a higher risk profile than single-family loans.

The allowance for loan losses was $8.5 million at December 31, 2004 as compared to $7.6 million at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was 0.81 percent at December 31, 2004 as compared to 0.88 percent at June 30, 2004. Management considers the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in loans held for investment.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated probable 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 probable incurred 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 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 due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions beyond the control of the Corporation.

Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $2.4 million, or 59 percent, to $6.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $4.1 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in the gain on sale of loans. Also, a $48,000 impairment reserve recovery on the servicing asset was recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2005, as compared to zero during the same period last year. The servicing asset is evaluated quarterly for impairment and the impairment reserve is adjusted in response to accelerated or slower prepayments of the underlying loans serviced for others, which reduces or increases the value of the servicing asset.

The gain on sale of loans increased $2.4 million, or 89 percent, to $5.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $2.7 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily the result of a higher volume of loans originated for sale, partly offset by a slightly lower average loan sale margin. The gain on sale of loans includes a favorable adjustment of $132,000 on derivative financial instruments (SFAS No. 133) in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 as compared to an unfavorable adjustment of $244,000 in the same period of fiscal 2004. Total loan originations (including purchased loans) were $527.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, up 37 percent from $384.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2004. Loan sale volume, which is defined as PBM loans originated for sale adjusted for the change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, was $326.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to $173.1 million in th e same quarter of fiscal 2004. The average loan sale margin for PBM during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was 1.51 percent, down from 1.54 percent in the same period of fiscal 2004. The volume of loans originated for sale was $310.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, up 61 percent from $193.4 million during the same period last year, a result of relatively low mortgage interest rates and continued strength in the Southern California real estate market.

<PAGE>

In the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Corporation implemented the SEC guidance described in the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments," which does not allow for the recognition of servicing released premiums in the valuation of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale. The Corporation elected to prospectively apply this guidance to new loan commitments initiated after January 1, 2004. This action results in a delay in the recognition of servicing released premiums until the underlying loans are funded and sold.

The average profit margin for PBM in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 and 2004 was 92 basis points and 81 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. The increase in the profit margin was primarily attributable to the increase in the gain on sale of loans resulting from a higher average gain on sale margin.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, total non-interest income increased $3.8 million, or 43 percent, to $12.6 million from $8.8 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in the gain on sale of loans and the gain on sale of investment securities. The Corporation sold 6,000 shares of Freddie Mac common stock for a gain of $384,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, the gain on sale of loans increased $3.6 million, or 61 percent, to $9.5 million from $5.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily the result of a higher volume of loans originated for sale and a higher average loan sale margin. The gain on sale of loans includes a favorable adjustment of $173,000 on derivative financial instruments (SFAS No. 133) in the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to an unfavorable adjustment of $672,000 in the same period of fiscal 2004. Total loan originations (including purchased loans) were $1.0 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2005, up 16 percent from $903.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2004. Loan sale volume, which is defined as PBM loans originated for sale adjusted for the change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, was $607.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 as compared to $447.5 million in the same period o f fiscal 2004. The average loan sale margin for PBM during the first six months of fiscal 2005 was 1.52 percent, up from 1.29 percent in the same period of fiscal 2004.

The average profit margin for PBM in the first six months of fiscal 2005 and 2004 was 97 basis points and 80 basis points, respectively.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $824,000, or 11 percent, to $8.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from $7.2 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2004. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in variable compensation expense related to loan production volume in the community banking business and the mortgage banking business. Although non-interest expense increased for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the efficiency ratio improved to 48 percent from 56 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, total non-interest expense increased $1.4 million, or 10 percent, to $15.6 million from $14.2 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The efficiency ratio improved to 48 percent from 55 percent during the same period of fiscal 2004.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $3.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $2.3 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The effective tax rate for the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately 41.3 percent and 42.9 percent, respectively. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 reflects its current income tax obligations.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, income tax expense was $7.1 million as compared to $4.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2004. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately 43.2 percent and 42.3 percent, respectively.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans, which primarily consisted of single-family loans, remained unchanged at $1.1 million at December 31, 2004 from June 30, 2004. 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 was 0.11 percent at December 31, 2004, down from 0.13 percent at June 30, 2004. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets remained unchanged at 0.08 percent at December 31, 2004 in comparison to the June 30, 2004 level.

Also, the Bank reviews loans individually to identify when an 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 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. As of December 31, 2004, the impaired loan balance was $729,000 with specific valuation allowances of $209,000, compared to the impaired loan balance of $1.3 million with specific valuation allowances of $365,000 at June 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation's primary sources of funding include deposits, proceeds from loan interest and scheduled principal payments, sales of loans, loan prepayments, interest income on investment securities, the maturity or principal payments on investment securities, and FHLB advances. While maturities and the scheduled

<PAGE>

amortization of loans and investment securities 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 December 31, 2004, the Bank's available credit facility from the FHLB was $579.7 million. In addition to the FHLB credit facility, the Bank has an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $45.0 million with its correspondent bank. Additionally, available for sale investment securities, $207.7 million at December 31, 2004, could 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 take advantage of investment opportunities. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash to meet short-term liquidity needs. At December 31, 2004, cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.5 million, or 1.2 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 December 31, 2004 decreased to 18.3 percent from 20.2 percent during the same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily a result of redeployment of available cash flows into loans held for investment.

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 generated more loans for its portfolio from its mortgage banking, business banking and commercial real estate divisions and purchased commercial real estate, multi-family 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 preferred loans. These loans generally have higher yields than single-family loans. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the volume of loans generated for the portfolio increased $25.3 million, or 13 percent, to $216.1 million as compared to $190.8 million in the comparable period last year. Of the total loans generated for the portfolio in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, $57.7 million, or 27 percent were preferred loans. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the volume of loans generated for the portfolio increased $68.9 million, or 19 percent, to $436.0 million as compared to $367.1 million in the comparable period last year. Of the total loans generated for the portfolio in the first six months of fiscal 2005, $129.0 million, or 30 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.

The Bank's actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

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.

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 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, 2004 and 2003 was a gain of $132,000 and a loss of $244,000, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the net impact of derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations was a gain of $173,000 and a loss of $672,000, respectively.

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 the liquidation account established by the Bank in connection with the Conversion or the regulatory capital requirements imposed >by federal and state regulation. During the first six months of fiscal 2005, the Bank paid $5.5 million of cash dividends to the Corporation for the primary purpose of funding stock repurchases and cash dividends declared to shareholders. The Corporation paid $1.7 million of cash dividends to its shareholders in the first six months of fiscal 2005.

The Corporation repurchased 110,000 shares of its common stock under the existing authorized stock repurchase program during the first six months of fiscal 2005 at an average price of $23.23 per share. As of December 31, 2004, 31 percent of the authorized shares of the June 2004 stock repurchase plan were purchased, leaving approximately 244,585 shares available for future repurchase.

Incentive Plans

Management Recognition Plan (MRP):
The Corporation established the 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 MRP in 1997. All of the MRP shares have been awarded. Awarded shares vest over a five-year period as long as the employee or director remains an employee or director of the Corporation. The Corporation recognizes compensation expense for the MRP based on the fair value of the shares at the award date. MRP compensation expense was $34,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. For the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the MRP compensation expense was $67,000 and $68,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, a total of 23,058 shares were allocated and outstanding, pending their respective distribution schedules.

Stock Option Plan:
The Corporation established the 1996 Stock Option Plan ("1996 SOP") for certain of its directors and key employees under which options to acquire up to 1.15 million shares of common stock may be granted. On November 18, 2003, shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Option Plan ("2003 SOP") for certain of its directors and key employees under which options to acquire up to 352,500 shares of common stock 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 grant. Options vest over a five-year period as long as the employee or director remains an employee or director of 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. In the first six months of fiscal 2005, a total of 45,500 options were granted, 25,450 options were forfeited and 34,525 options were exercised. As of December 31, 2004, the numbe r of options available for future grants (under both plans) were 98,200 shares. As of December 31, 2004, a total of 1,005,875 options were outstanding with an average exercise price of $14.07 per option and an average remaining life of 5.87 years.

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 the Corporation's exposure to the fluctuation of interest rates. The Bank, through its Asset and Liability Committee seeks to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by managing the mismatch between asset and liability cash flows. 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 composed 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 using 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 that management might take to counter the effect of the 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.

<PAGE>

The following table is provided by the OTS and represents the NPV based on the indicated changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands).

					NPV as Percentage
	Net	NPV		Portfolio	of Portfolio Value		Sensitivity
Basis Points ("bp")	Portfolio	Change		Value of	Assets		Measure
Change in Rates	Value	(1)		Assets		(2)	(3)

+300 bp	$ 136,452	(30,687	)	$ 1,501,897	9.09%		-150 bp
+200 bp	152,710	(14,428	)	1,532,132	9.97%		-62 bp
+100 bp	164,061	(3,078	)	1,558,766	10.53%		-7 bp
0 bp	167,139	-		1,578,247	10.59%
-100 bp	162,912	(4,227	)	1,591,078	10.24%		-35 bp

(1)	Represents the (decrease) increase of the NPV at the indicated interest rate change in comparison to the NPV at December 31, 2004 ("base case").
(2)	Calculated as the NPV divided by the portfolio value of total 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 is provided by the OTS and represents the change in the NPV at a +200 basis point rate shock at December 31, 2004 and a +200 basis point rate shock at June 30, 2004.

Risk measure: +200/+200 basis point rate shock	At December 31, 2004		At June 30, 2004
	(+200 bp rate shock)		(+200 bp rate shock)
Pre-shock NPV ratio: NPV as a % of PV Assets	10.59	%	11.47	%
Post-shock NPV ratio: NPV as a % of PV Assets	9.97	%	10.48	%
Sensitivity measure: Change in NPV Ratio	62	bp	99	bp

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 that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from 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 shareholders in the event of the liquidation of the Corporation.

The Bank also models the sensitivity of net interest income for the 12-month period subsequent to any given month-end assuming a dynamic balance sheet (accounting for the Bank's current balance sheet, 12-month business plan, embedded options, rate floors, periodic caps, lifetime caps, and loan, investment, deposit and borrowing cash flows, among others), and immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates of plus 100, plus 200 and minus 100 basis points. The following table describes the results of the analysis for December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004.

<PAGE>

December 31, 2004		June 30, 2004
Basis Point (bp)	Change in	Basis Point (bp)	Change in
Change in Rates	Net Interest Income	Change in Rates	Net Interest Income
+200 bp	-14.50%	+200 bp	-13.28%
+100 bp	-6.17%	+100 bp	-7.45%
-100 bp	+5.93%	-100 bp	+2.00%

In both of the periods described above, the Bank is liability sensitive. Therefore, in a rising interest rate environment, the results project a decline in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period, and in a falling interest rate environment, the results project an increase in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period.

Management believes that the assumptions used to complete the analysis described in the table above are reasonable. However, past experience has shown that immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates will not necessarily occur. Additionally, while the analysis provides a tool to evaluate the projected net interest income to changes in interest rates, actual results may be substantially different if actual experience differs from the assumptions used to complete the analysis. Therefore, the model results that we disclose should be thought of as a risk management tool to compare the trends of our current disclosure to our previous disclosures, over time, within the context of the actual performance of the yield curve.

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 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. 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 within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)	Changes in Internal Controls. In the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Corporation did not make any significant changes in, nor were any corrective actions required, regarding its internal controls or other factors that could materially affect these controls.
