Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to forward our Annual Report for fiscal 2006, which
describes another record year for our Company. Net income was an
unprecedented $20.5 million, or $2.98 per diluted share, and our return
on equity was 15.7%, another noteworthy accomplishment. Our finan-
cial results were enhanced by the $6.3 million gain on sale of real estate
(approximately $3.6 million net of statutory taxes), which more than off-
set the impact of the decline in our net interest margin, the decline in
our loan sale margin and the decline in our loans originated for sale.
The operating environment for financial institutions in fiscal 2006 was
more challenging than in recent years as a result of the 17 increases to
the target federal funds rate, from 1.00% to 5.25% at the time of this
writing, implemented by the Federal Open Market Committee of the
U.S. Federal Reserve. Nonetheless, because of the groundwork com-
pleted years ago, we were able to monetize real estate gains in a seller’s
market thereby achieving another record year.
Our stock price appreciated 7% during fiscal 2006 closing at $30.00
per share on June 30, 2006, up from $28.11 per share on June 30, 2005.
The percentage increase is smaller than the prior six years and I believe
is a reflection of the general perception in the financial markets that
banks, thrifts, mortgage companies and other financial institutions may
continue to experience a difficult operating environment given the pre-
cipitous rise in short-term interest rates coupled with the general view
that real estate values have peaked. While this may be a legitimate
short-term view, our job, irrespective of the dynamic market conditions,
is to enhance shareholder value, over time, by improving on the funda-
mental performance of the Company.
If we are successful, the stock
price of our Company will improve commensurate with our success.
Last year in the Chairman’s Message, I described five initiatives for
fiscal 2006; significant yet prudent growth of our loans held for invest-
ment, control of our operating expenses, sound capital management
decisions, emphasis on high margin loan products and growth in trans-
I am pleased to report that we have
action accounts (core deposits).
accomplished meaningful progress in connection with the first four of
these strategies, although we did not accomplish all that we intended
regarding our growth in transaction accounts. Specifically, loans held
for investment grew by 12% during the year while our credit quality
remained excellent. Operating expenses increased by 1% from the
prior year, a nominal increase and preserved by a 5% decline in salaries
and employee benefits expense. With respect to capital management,
we repurchased 367,169 shares of common stock during fiscal 2006
and paid a cash dividend of $0.58 per share, up from $0.52 per share in
fiscal 2005, a 12% increase. High margin loan products increased to
73% of loans originated for sale although the loan sale margin slipped
to 1.08%, a reflection of the highly competitive mortgage banking envi-
ronment. Total deposits remained unchanged from last year although
transaction account balances declined by 19%. The decline in our trans-
action account balances was primarily the result of our money market
depositors seeking higher yields in our certificate of deposit products.
Provident Bank
We remain committed to the strategies implemented in prior years
that we believe will improve our fundamental performance over time.
For example, the percentage of investment securities to total assets
continues to decline, the percentage of loans held for investment to
total assets continues to increase, and the percentage of preferred
loans (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commer-
cial business) to loans held for investment grew to 34%. These initia-
tives resulted in a 39% increase in pre-tax income (excluding the gain
on sale of real estate) in our community banking business during fiscal
2006 in comparison to last year.
We continue to explore branching opportunities within our geo-
graphic footprint and have identified several sites that may meet our
criteria. Management considers de novo branching in the high growth
communities of the Inland Empire, given our 50-year history in the
area, a strategic opportunity that will help meet our transaction
account growth goals and enhance the franchise value of the
Company. In keeping with this strategy, we have announced the estab-
lishment of a new branch location in the La Sierra area of Riverside,
which is scheduled to open in December 2006. We hope to announce
another de novo branch location in the near future.
Provident Bank Mortgage
Fiscal 2006 turned out to be a transitional year for our mortgage
banking business in a very competitive environment. We responded
quickly to this environment by closing one office, combining two
offices and consolidating the underwriting function of five offices.
During the course of the year, we reduced the total number of mort-
gage-banking employees by 10% while increasing the number of pro-
duction employees by 21% and reducing the number of support
employees by 22%. These changes are designed to create a more effi-
cient operation and to lower the cost of originating each loan.
Mortgage banking represented 22% of pre-tax income this year
(excluding the gain on sale of real estate) in comparison to 49% of pre-
tax income in fiscal 2005.
The Year Ahead
Our Business Plan for fiscal 2007 builds on our success this year and
allows us to refine strategies implemented in previous years. In com-
munity banking we will continue to emphasize significant yet prudent
growth of loans held for investment, the growth of transaction
accounts (while recognizing that certificate of deposit activity will
increase), operating expense control and sound capital management
decisions. In mortgage banking our emphasis will remain on high mar-
gin loan products and operating expense adjustments corresponding
to our loan origination volume opportunities. Each of these strategies
is designed to enhance our earnings from the community banking
business and to mitigate the volatility of our earnings from the mort-
gage banking business.
A Final Word
I remain confident that the strategies and initiatives outlined
above will continue to improve the fundamental performance of our
Company and enhance our franchise value.
I am also convinced that
the Inland Empire region of Southern California is one of the best
regions in the nation to operate a community bank. We simply need to
execute.
Sincerely,
Craig G. Blunden

Item 1. Business
General
PART I
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a Delaware corporation, was organized in January 1996 for
the purpose of becoming the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) upon the Bank’s
conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank (“Conversion”). The Conversion was completed
on June 27, 1996. At June 30, 2006, the Corporation had total assets of $1.6 billion, total deposits of $917.6 million
and stockholders’ equity of $136.2 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“form
10-K”), including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiaries.
The Bank, founded in 1956, is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Riverside, California. The
Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the insurer of its deposits. The Bank’s deposits are federally insured up to
applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) – San
Francisco System since 1956.
The Bank is a financial services company committed to serving consumers and small to mid-sized businesses in the
Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Bank conducts its business operations as Provident Bank,
Provident Bank Mortgage (“PBM”) and through its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp. The business activities of
the Bank consist of community banking, mortgage banking, investment services and real estate operations.
Financial information regarding the Corporation’s two operating segments, Provident Bank and PBM, is contained
in Note 17 to the Corporation’s audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The Bank’s operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding
its full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-family, commercial real estate, construction,
commercial business, consumer and other loans. Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination of single-
family mortgage loans and consumer loans (second mortgages and equity lines of credit) for sale and for investment.
Through its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp, the Bank conducts real estate operations and prior to September 1,
2003 offered investment and insurance services. The Bank now offers investment and insurance services directly,
rather than through its subsidiary. See “Subsidiary Activities” on page 29 of this Form 10-K. The Bank’s revenues
are derived principally from interest earned on its loan and investment portfolios, and fees generated through its
community banking and mortgage banking activities.
On June 22, 2006, the Bank established the Provident Savings Bank Charitable Foundation (“Foundation”) in order
to further its commitment to the local community. The specific purpose of the Foundation is to promote and provide
for the betterment of youth, education, housing and the arts in the Bank’s primary market areas of Riverside and San
Bernardino Counties. The Foundation was funded with a $500,000 charitable contribution made by the Bank.
Subsequent Events:
Cash dividend
On July 25, 2006, the Corporation announced a cash dividend of $0.15 per share on the Corporation’s outstanding
shares of common stock for shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2006, which was paid on
September 8, 2006.
Completion of the sale of real estate
On July 31, 2006, the Corporation announced the completion of the sale of approximately six acres of land in
Riverside, California. This transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $2.3 million (approximately $1.3 million net of
statutory taxes).
1
Market Area
The Bank is headquartered in Riverside, California and operates 11 full-service banking offices in Riverside County
and one full-service banking office in San Bernardino County. Management considers Riverside and Western San
Bernardino Counties to be the Bank’s primary market for deposits. Through the operations of PBM, the Bank has
expanded its retail lending market to include a larger portion of Southern California. As of June 30, 2006, there
were 14 PBM loan production offices located in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties.
PBM’s loan production offices include two wholesale loan offices through which the Bank maintains a network of
loan correspondents. Most of the Bank’s business is conducted in the communities surrounding its full-service
branches and loan production offices.
The large geographic area encompassing Riverside and San Bernardino Counties is referred to as the “Inland
Empire.” According to 2000 Census Bureau population statistics, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties have the
sixth and fifth largest county populations in California, respectively. The Bank’s market area consists primarily of
suburban and urban communities. Western Riverside and San Bernardino Counties are relatively densely populated
and are within the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Inland Empire has enjoyed economic strength over
the past several years. Many corporations are moving their offices and warehouses to the Inland Empire, which
offers more affordable sites and more affordable housing for their employees. This trend has resulted in a
significant improvement in real estate property values over the past several years. However, recent slowdowns in
the housing market have effected the property values in the Inland Empire but have not resulted in the downturn
seen in many parts of the country. The unemployment rate in the Inland Empire in June 2006 was at 5.0%,
compared to 4.9% in California and 4.6% nationwide, according to U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Competition
The Bank faces significant competition in its market area in originating real estate loans and attracting deposits. The
rapid population growth in the Inland Empire has attracted numerous financial institutions to the Bank’s market
area. The Bank’s primary competitors are large regional and super-regional commercial banks as well as other
community-oriented banks and savings institutions. The Bank also faces competition from credit unions and a large
number of mortgage companies that operate within its market area. Many of these institutions are significantly
larger than the Bank and therefore have greater financial and marketing resources than the Bank. The Bank’s
mortgage banking operations also face strong competition from mortgage bankers, brokers and other financial
institutions. This competition may limit the Bank’s growth and profitability in the future.
Personnel
As of June 30, 2006, the Bank had 323 full-time equivalent employees, which consisted of 266 full-time, 54 prime-
time, 31 part-time and two temporary employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining
unit and the Bank believes that its relationship with employees is good.
Lending Activities
General. The lending activity of the Bank is predominately comprised of the origination of conventional mortgage
loans secured by single-family residential properties. The Bank also originates multi-family, commercial real estate,
construction, commercial business, consumer and other loans for its portfolio. The Bank’s net loans held for
investment were $1.26 billion at June 30, 2006, representing approximately 77.8% of consolidated total assets. This
compares to $1.13 billion, or 69.4% of consolidated total assets, at June 30, 2005.

Maturity of Loans Held for Investment. The following table sets forth information at June 30, 2006 regarding the
dollar amount of principal payments becoming contractually due during the periods indicated for loans held for
investment. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of principal payments and no stated maturity, and
overdrafts are reported as becoming due within one year. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments,
which significantly shorten the average life of loans held for investment and may cause the Bank’s actual principal
payment experience to differ materially from that shown below.

Scheduled contractual principal payments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of
loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses
generally give the Bank the right to declare loans immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, the
borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase,
however, when current market interest rates are substantially higher than the interest rates on existing loans held for
investment and, conversely, decrease when the interest rates on existing loans held for investment are substantially
higher than current market interest rates.
Single-Family Mortgage Loans. The Bank’s predominant lending activity is the origination of loans secured by
first mortgages on owner-occupied, single-family (one to four units) residences in the communities where the Bank
has established full service branches and loan production offices. At June 30, 2006, total single-family loans held
for investment increased to $828.1 million, or 61.2% of the total loans held for investment from $808.7 million, or
4
65.6% of the total loans held for investment at June 30, 2005. The increase in the single-family loans in fiscal 2006
was primarily attributable to $330.1 million of new loan originations, partly offset by loan prepayments.
The Bank’s residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten and documented in accordance with guidelines
established by major Wall Street firms, institutional loan buyers, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (collectively, “the
secondary market”). All government insured loans are generally underwritten and documented in accordance with
the guidelines established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and the Veterans’
Administration (“VA”). Loans are normally classified as either conforming (meeting agency criteria) or non-
conforming (meeting an investor’s criteria). These non-conforming loans are additionally classified as “A” or “Alt-
A“. The “A” loans are typically those that exceed agency loan limits but closely mirror agency criteria. The “Alt-A”
loans are underwritten to expanded guidelines allowing a borrower with good credit a broader range of product
choices. The “Alt-A” criteria includes interest-only loans, stated-income loans and greater than 30-year
amortization loans.
The Bank offers closed-end, fixed-rate home equity loans that are secured by the borrower’s primary residence.
These loans do not exceed 100% of the appraised value of the residence and have terms of up to 15 years requiring
monthly payments of principal and interest. At June 30, 2006, home equity loans amounted to $2.0 million, or 0.2%
of single-family loans as compared to $2.4 million, or 0.3% of single-family loans at June 30, 2005. The Bank also
offers secured lines of credit, which are generally secured by a second mortgage on the borrower’s primary
residence. Secured lines of credit have an interest rate that is typically one to two percentage points above the prime
lending rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, while the rate on unsecured lines of credit (overdraft
protection) is typically ten percentage points above the prime lending rate. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the
outstanding unsecured lines of credit were $211,000 and $212,000, respectively.
The Bank offers adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans at rates and terms competitive with market conditions.
Substantially all of the ARM loans originated by the Bank meet the underwriting standards of the secondary market.
The Bank offers several ARM products, which adjust monthly, semi-annually, or annually after an initial fixed
period ranging from one month to five years subject to a limitation on the annual increase of one to two percentage
points and an overall limitation of three to six percentage points. The ARM loans in the Bank’s loans held for
investment utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate index (“LIBOR”), the FHLB eleventh district cost of funds
index (“COFI”), the 12-month average Treasury index (“12 MAT”) or the weekly average yield on one year U.S.
Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of the one year index (“CMT”), plus a margin of 2.00% to 3.25%.
Loans based on the LIBOR constitute a majority of the Bank’s loans held for investment. Currently, the Bank
emphasizes products based on the one-year CMT and LIBOR, which respond more quickly to immediate changes in
interest rates. The majority of the ARM loans held for investment, have three- or five-year fixed periods prior to the
first adjustment (“3/1 or 5/1 hybrids”), and do not require principal amortization for up to 120 months. Loans of this
type have embedded interest rate risk if interest rates should rise during the initial fixed rate period. To coincide
with the Bank’s 50th Anniversary, the Bank began offering 50-year single-family mortgage loans. As of June 30,
2006, the Bank had a total of 27 loans for $11.0 million with a 50-year term.
As of June 30, 2006, the Bank had $95.4 million in mortgage loans that may be subject to negative amortization, of
which $20.7 million were single-family loans. This compared to $105.7 million at June 30, 2005, of which $14.3
million were single-family loans. Negative amortization involves a greater risk to the Bank, because during a period
of high interest rates, the loan principal balance may increase by up to 115% of the original loan amount. However,
the Bank believes that the risk of default is reduced by the stability provided by payment schedules and has
historically found that its origination of negative amortization loans has not resulted in higher amounts of non-
performing loans. Borrower demand for ARM loans versus fixed-rate mortgage loans is a function of the level of
interest rates, the expectations of changes in the level of interest rates and the difference between the initial interest
rates and fees charged for each type of loan. The relative amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans and ARM loans that
can be originated at any time is largely determined by the demand for each in a given interest rate and competitive
environment.
The retention of ARM loans, rather than fixed-rate loans, helps to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates.
There are, however, unquantifiable credit risks resulting from the potential of increased interest charges to be paid
by the customer as a result of increases in interest rates or the expiration of interest-only periods. It is possible that,
5
during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on ARM loans may increase as a result of the increase in the
required payment from the borrower. Furthermore, the risk of default may increase because ARM loans originated
by the Bank occasionally provide, as a marketing incentive, for initial rates of interest below those rates that would
apply if the adjustment index plus the applicable margin were initially used for pricing. Such loans are subject to
increased risks of default or delinquency. Additionally, while ARM loans allow the Bank to decrease the sensitivity
of its assets as a result of changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the periodic and
lifetime interest rate adjustment limits. In addition to fully amortizing ARM loans, the Bank has interest-only ARM
loans, which typically have a fixed interest rate for the first two to five years, followed by a periodic adjustable
interest rate, coupled with an interest only payment of two to ten years, followed by a fully amortizing loan payment
for the remaining term. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, interest-only ARM loans were $638.5 million and $613.9
million, or 50.1% and 54.2%, respectively, of the loans held for investment. Furthermore, because loan indexes may
not respond perfectly to market interest rates, upward adjustments on loans may occur more slowly than increases in
the Bank’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities, especially during periods of rapidly increasing interest rates. Because
of these characteristics, the Bank has no assurance that yields on ARM loans will be sufficient to offset increases in
the Bank’s cost of funds.
The following table describes certain credit risk characteristics of the Corporation’s single-family loans held for
investment as of June 30, 2006:

(1) The FICO score represents the credit worthiness of a borrower based on the borrower's credit history. A higher
FICO score indicates a greater degree of creditworthiness.
(2) LTV (loan-to-value) is the ratio calculated by dividing the original loan balance by the appraised value of the
real estate collateral.
(3) Seasoning describes the number of years since the funding date of the loan.
(4) Stated income is defined as a borrower provided level of income which is not subject to verification during the
loan origination process.
The Bank’s lending policy generally limits loan amounts for conventional first trust deed loans to 97% of the
appraised value or purchase price of a property, whichever is lower. Higher loan-to-value ratios are available on
certain government-insured programs. The Bank generally requires private mortgage insurance on first trust deed
residential loans with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 80% at the time of origination.
Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Loans. At June 30, 2006, multi-family mortgage loans
were $219.1 million and commercial real estate loans were $127.3 million, or 16.2% and 9.4%, respectively, of the
loans held for investment. Consistent with its strategy to diversify the composition of loans held for investment, the
Bank has made the origination and purchase of multi-family and commercial real estate loans a priority. At June 30,
2006, the Bank had 261 multi-family and 158 commercial real estate loans in loans held for investment.
Multi-family mortgage loans originated by the Bank are predominately adjustable rate loans, including 3/1 and 5/1
hybrids, with a term to maturity of 10 to 30 years based on a 25- to 30-year amortization schedule. Commercial real
estate loans originated by the Bank are also predominately adjustable rate loans, including 3/1 and 5/1 hybrids, with
a term to maturity of 10 years and a 25-year amortization schedule. Rates on multi-family and commercial real
estate ARM loans generally adjust monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually at a specific margin over the
respective interest rate index, subject to annual payment caps and life-of-loan interest rate caps. At June 30, 2006,
$161.7 million, or 73.8%, of the Bank’s multi-family loans were secured by five to 36 unit projects and were
primarily located in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties. The Bank’s
commercial real estate loan portfolio generally consists of loans secured by small office buildings, light industrial
centers, mini warehouses and small retail centers, primarily located in Southern California. The Bank originates
6
multi-family and commercial real estate loans in amounts typically ranging from $350,000 to $4.0 million. At June
30, 2006, the Bank had 54 commercial real estate and multi-family loans with principal balances greater than $1.5
million totaling $136.4 million, all of which were performing in accordance with their terms as of June 30, 2006.
Independent appraisers, engaged by the Bank, perform appraisals on properties that secure multi-family and
commercial real estate loans. Underwriting of multi-family and commercial real estate loans includes a thorough
analysis of the cash flows generated by the property to support the debt service and the financial resources,
experience and income level of the borrowers.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans afford the Bank an opportunity to receive higher interest rates than
those generally available from single-family mortgage loans. However, loans secured by such properties are
generally greater in amount, more difficult to evaluate and monitor and are more susceptible to default as a result of
general economic conditions and, therefore, involve a greater degree of risk than single-family residential mortgage
loans. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family and commercial properties are often dependent on the
successful operation and management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be impacted by adverse
conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The multi-family and commercial real estate loans are primarily
located in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties. Although there has been
continued improvement in the real estate market, there is no assurance that the current market value of the properties
securing these loans equals or exceeds the outstanding loan balance. At June 30, 2006, the Bank did not have any
non-accrual multi-family or commercial real estate loans or any multi-family or commercial real estate loans that
were 60 days or more past due.
Construction Mortgage Loans. Given favorable economic conditions and increased residential housing demand in
its primary market area, the Bank actively originates two types of residential construction loans: short-term
construction loans and construction/permanent loans. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s construction loans (gross of
undisbursed loan funds) were $149.5 million, or 11.0% of loans held for investment, a decrease of $6.5 million, or
4.1%, during fiscal 2006. Undisbursed loan funds at June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $75.3 million and $95.2 million,
respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the largest construction loan was made to a single borrower (50% purchased
participation) with a total commitment of $8.5 million and an outstanding balance of $683,000. The loan was made
to provide the construction funding to build a condominium project located in North Hollywood, California, and is
performing in accordance with the terms and conditions of the promissory note.
The composition of the Bank’s construction loan portfolio is as follows:

Short-term construction loans include three types of loans: custom construction, tract construction, and speculative
construction. Additionally, the Bank makes short-term (18 to 36 month) lot loans to facilitate land acquisition prior
to the start of construction. The Bank also provides construction financing for multi-family and commercial real
estate properties.
Custom construction loans are made to individuals who, at the time of application, have a contract executed with a
builder to construct their residence. Custom construction loans are generally originated for a term of 12 months,
with adjustable interest rates at the prime lending rate plus a margin and with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of
the appraised value of the completed property. The owner secures long-term permanent financing at the completion
of construction. At June 30, 2006, custom construction loans were $53.3 million, with undisbursed loan funds of
$26.7 million.
7
The Bank makes tract construction loans to subdivision builders. These subdivisions are usually financed and built
in phases. A thorough analysis of market trends and demand within the area are reviewed for feasibility. The Bank
prefers originating tract construction loans for affordable and median-priced housing. Generally, significant presales
are required prior to commencement of construction. Tract construction may include the building and financing of
model homes under a separate loan. The terms for tract construction loans range from 12 to 18 months with interest
rates floating from 1.0% to 2.0% above the prime lending rate. At June 30, 2006, tract construction loans were
$32.8 million, with undisbursed loan funds of $21.7 million.
Speculative construction loans are made to home builders and are termed “speculative” because the home builder
does not have, at the time of loan origination, a signed contract with a home buyer who has a commitment for
permanent financing with either the Bank or another lender for the finished home. The home buyer may be
identified during or after the construction period. The builder may be required to debt service the speculative
construction loan for a significant period of time after the completion of construction until the homebuyer is
identified. At June 30, 2006, speculative construction loans were $33.4 million, with undisbursed loan funds of $9.9
million.
Construction/permanent loans automatically roll from the construction to the permanent phase. The construction
phase of a construction/permanent loan generally lasts nine to 12 months and the interest rate charged is generally
floating at prime or above and with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80% of the appraised value of the completed
property.
Construction loans under $1.0 million are approved by Bank personnel specifically designated to approve
construction loans. The Bank’s Loan Committee, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Lending Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President – PBM, and Vice President – Commercial Real Estate Loans,
approves all construction loans over $1.0 million. Prior to approval of any construction loan, an independent fee
appraiser inspects the site and the Bank reviews the existing or proposed improvements, identifies the market for the
proposed project, and analyzes the pro forma data and assumptions on the project. In the case of a tract or
speculative construction loan, the Bank reviews the experience and expertise of the builder. After the Bank
expresses an interest in the project, the application is processed, which includes obtaining credit reports, financial
statements and tax returns on the borrowers and guarantors, an independent appraisal of the project, and any other
expert report necessary to evaluate the proposed project. In the event of cost overruns, the Bank requires the
borrower to deposit their own funds into a loan-in-process account, which the Bank disburses consistent with the
completion of the subject property pursuant to a revised disbursement schedule.
The construction loan documents require that construction loan proceeds be disbursed in increments as construction
progresses. Disbursements are based on periodic on-site inspections by independent fee inspectors and Bank
personnel. At inception, the Bank also requires borrowers to deposit funds into the loan-in-process account covering
the difference between the actual cost of construction and the loan amount. The Bank regularly monitors the
construction loan portfolio, economic conditions and housing inventory. The Bank’s property inspectors perform
periodic property inspections. The Bank believes that the internal monitoring system helps reduce many of the risks
inherent in its construction loans.
Construction loans afford the Bank the opportunity to achieve higher interest rates and fees with shorter terms to
maturity than its single-family mortgage loans. Construction loans, however, are generally considered to involve a
higher degree of risk than single-family mortgage loans because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a
property’s value at completion of the project and the cost of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they
are generally more difficult to evaluate and monitor. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the
Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the
project. If the estimate of value upon completion proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted with a
project whose value is insufficient to assure full repayment. Projects may also be jeopardized by disagreements
between borrowers and builders and by the failure of builders to pay subcontractors. Loans to builders to construct
homes for which no purchaser has been identified carry additional risk because the payoff for the loan depends on
the builder’s ability to sell the property prior to the time that the construction loan matures. The Bank has sought to
address these risks by adhering to strict underwriting policies, disbursement procedures and monitoring practices. In
8
addition, because the Bank’s construction lending is in its primary market area, changes in the local or regional
economy and real estate market could adversely affect the Bank’s construction loan portfolio.
Participation Loan Purchases and Sales.
In an effort to expand productivity and diversify risk, the Bank
purchases loan participations, which allows for greater geographic distribution of the Bank’s loans and increases
loan production volume. The Bank is aggressively networking with other lenders to purchase participating interests
in multi-family, commercial real estate and tract construction loans. The Bank generally purchases between 50%
and 100% of the total loan amount. When the Bank purchases a participation loan, the lead lender will usually retain
a servicing fee, thereby decreasing the loan yield. This servicing fee is primarily offset by a reduction in operating
expenses to the Bank. All properties serving as collateral for loan participations are inspected by Bank personnel
prior to being approved by the Loan Committee and the Bank relies upon the same underwriting criteria required for
those loans originated by the Bank.
The Bank also sells participating interests in loans when it has been determined that it is beneficial to diversify the
Bank’s risk. Participation sales enable the Bank to maintain acceptable loan concentrations and comply with the
Bank’s loans to one borrower policy. Generally, selling a participating interest in a loan increases the yield to the
Bank on the portion of the loan that is retained.
Commercial Business Loans. The Bank has a Business Banking Department that primarily serves businesses
located within the Inland Empire. Commercial business loans allow the Bank to diversify its lending and increase
the average loan portfolio yield. As of June 30, 2006, commercial business loans were $12.9 million, or 0.9% of
loans held for investment. These loans represent unsecured lines of credit and term loans secured by business assets.
Commercial business loans are generally made to customers who are well known to the Bank and are generally
secured by accounts receivable, inventory, business equipment and/or other assets. The Bank’s commercial business
loans may be structured as term loans or as lines of credit. Lines of credit are made at variable rates of interest equal
to a negotiated margin above the prime rate and term loans are at a fixed or variable rate. The Bank may also obtain
personal guarantees from financially capable parties based on a review of personal financial statements.
Commercial business term loans are generally made to finance the purchase of assets and have maturities of five
years or less. Commercial lines of credit are typically made for the purpose of providing working capital and
usually are approved with a term of one year or less.
Commercial business loans involve greater risk than residential mortgage loans and involve risks that are different
from those associated with residential and commercial real estate loans. Real estate loans are generally considered
to be collateral based lending with loan amounts based on predetermined loan to collateral values and liquidation of
the underlying real estate collateral is viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default.
Although commercial business loans are often collateralized by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other
business assets including real estate, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default is often an
insufficient source of repayment because accounts receivable may not be collectable and inventories and equipment
may be obsolete or of limited use, among other things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial business loan
depends primarily on the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is
secondary and oftentimes an insufficient source of repayment. During fiscal 2006, the Bank recognized $41,000 in
charge-offs on four commercial business loans to one borrower. At June 30, 2006, no commercial business loans
were accounted for on a non-accrual basis.
Consumer and Other Loans. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s consumer loans were $734,000, or 0.1%, of the Bank’s
loans held for investment, a decrease of $44,000, or 5.7%, during fiscal 2006. The Bank offers open-ended lines of
credit on either a secured or unsecured basis. The Bank offers secured savings lines of credit which have an interest
rate that is four percentage points above the FHLB Eleventh District COFI, which adjusts monthly. Secured savings
lines of credit at June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $523,000 and $566,000, respectively, and are included in consumer
loans.
Consumer loans potentially have a greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans that
are unsecured. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus
are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of
9
various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount
that can be recovered on such loans. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had no consumer loans accounted for on a non-
accrual basis.
Other loans, which primarily consist of land loans, were $16.2 million, or 1.2%, of the Bank’s loans held for
investment, an increase of $5.5 million, or 50.9%, during fiscal 2006. The Bank makes land loans, primarily lot
loans, to accommodate borrowers who intend to build on the land within a specified period of time. The majority of
these land loans are for the construction of single-family residences; however, the Bank may make short-term loans
on a limited basis for the construction of commercial properties. The terms generally require a fixed rate with
maturity between 18 to 36 months.
Mortgage Banking Activities
General. Mortgage banking involves the origination and sale of single-family mortgage and consumer loans
(second mortgages and equity lines of credit) for the purpose of generating gains on sale of loans and fee income on
the origination of loans. PBM also originates single-family and consumer loans for investment. Given current
pricing in the mortgage markets, the Bank generally sells the majority of its loans on a servicing-released basis.
Generally, the level of loan sale activity and, therefore, its contribution to the Bank’s profitability depends on
maintaining a sufficient volume of loan originations. Changes in the level of interest rates and the local economy
affect the number of loans originated by the Bank and, thus, the amount of loan sales, net interest income and loan
fees earned. Originations of loans during fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $1.53 billion, $1.77 billion and $1.50
billion, respectively. PBM originated $326.9 million, $513.6 million and $409.4 million in fiscal 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively, of loans held for investment.
Loan Solicitation and Processing. The Bank’s mortgage banking operations consist of both wholesale and retail
loan originations. The Bank’s wholesale loan production utilizes a network of approximately 1,600 loan brokers
approved by the Bank who originate and submit loans at a markup over the Bank’s daily published price. Wholesale
loans originated for sale in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $840.5 million, $872.2 million and $617.5 million,
respectively. The Bank maintains regional wholesale lending offices in Rancho Cucamonga and San Diego,
California.
The Bank’s retail loan production utilizes loan officers, underwriters and processors employed by PBM. The
Bank’s loan officers generate retail loan originations primarily through referrals from realtors, builders, employees
and customers. As of June 30, 2006, PBM operated retail offices within the Bank’s facilities in Rancho Mirage,
Riverside and Temecula and stand-alone retail loan production offices in Carlsbad, Corona, Diamond Bar, Glendora,
Huntington Beach, La Quinta, Riverside, Torrance and Vista, all in Southern California. Generally, the cost of retail
operations exceeds the cost of wholesale operations as a result of the additional employees needed for retail
operations. However, the revenue per mortgage for retail originations is generally higher since the origination fees
are retained by the Bank. Retail loans originated for sale in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $363.6 million, $391.8
million and $475.2 million, respectively. The decrease in retail loan originations during fiscal 2006 was primarily
attributable to a decline in the refinance market, partly offset by larger market coverage resulting from new PBM
loan production offices.
The Bank requires evidence of marketable title, lien position, loan-to-value, title insurance and appraisals on all
properties. The Bank also requires evidence of fire and casualty insurance on the value of improvements. As
stipulated by federal regulations, the Bank requires flood insurance to protect the property securing its interest if
such property is located in a designated flood area.
Loan Commitments and Rate Locks. The Bank issues commitments for residential mortgage loans conditioned
upon the occurrence of certain events. Such commitments are made with specified terms and conditions. Interest
rate locks are generally offered to prospective borrowers for up to a 60-day period. The borrower may lock in the
rate at any time from application until the time they wish to close the loan. Occasionally, borrowers obtaining
financing on new home developments are offered rate locks for up to 120 days from application. The Bank’s
outstanding commitments to originate loans to be held for sale were $66.0 million at June 30, 2006 (see Note 15 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K). When the Bank issues a
10
commitment to a borrower, there is a risk to the Bank that a rise in interest rates will reduce the value of the
mortgage before it can be closed and sold. To control the interest rate risk caused by mortgage banking activities,
the Bank uses forward loan sale agreements and over-the-counter put option contracts related to mortgage-backed
securities (see “Derivative Activities” on page 13 of this Form 10-K).
Loan Origination and Other Fees. The Bank may receive origination points and loan fees. Origination points are
a percentage of the principal amount of the mortgage loan, which is charged to a borrower for funding a loan. The
amount of points charged by the Bank ranges from 0% to 2%. Current accounting standards require points and fees
received for originating loans held for investment (net of certain loan origination costs) to be deferred and amortized
into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. Origination fees and costs for loans originated for sale are
deferred until the related loans are sold. Net deferred fees or costs associated with loans that are prepaid or sold are
recognized as income or expense at the time of prepayment or sale. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had $3.4 million of
unamortized deferred loan origination costs (net) in loans held for investment.
Loan Originations, Sales and Purchases. The Bank’s mortgage originations include conventional loans as well as
loans insured by the FHA and VA. Except for loans originated as held for investment, loans originated through
mortgage banking activities are intended for eventual sale into the secondary market. As such, these loans must
meet the origination and underwriting criteria established by the final investors. The Bank sells a large percentage
of the mortgage loans that it originates as whole loans to institutional investors. The Bank also sells conventional
whole loans to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHLB – San Francisco through their purchase programs (see
“Derivative Activities” on page 13 of this Form 10-K).

Mortgage loans sold to institutional investors generally are sold without recourse other than standard representations
and warranties. Most mortgage loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are sold on a non-recourse basis and
foreclosure losses are generally the responsibility of the purchaser and not the Bank, except in the case of VA loans
12
used to form Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) pools, which are subject to limitations on the
VA’s loan guarantees. The amount subject to this limitation is immaterial.
Loans sold by the Bank to the FHLB – San Francisco under its Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) program also
have a recourse provision. The FHLB – San Francisco absorbs the first four basis points of loss, and a credit scoring
process is used to calculate the recourse amount to the Bank. All losses above this calculated recourse amount are the
responsibility of the FHLB – San Francisco. In consideration of the obligation of the Bank to accept the recourse
liability, the FHLB – San Francisco pays the Bank a credit enhancement fee on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2006,
the Bank serviced $201.6 million of loans under this program and has established a recourse reserve of $222,000. To
date, no losses have been experienced.
Occasionally, the Bank is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHLB – San Francisco or
institutional investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or if one
of the parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 30 days
past due within 120 days of the loan funding date. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Bank repurchased $2.0
million of single-family mortgage loans as compared to $962,000 in fiscal 2005 and $79,000 in fiscal 2004.
Derivative Activities. Mortgage banking involves the risk that a rise in interest rates will reduce the value of a
mortgage before it can be sold. This type of risk occurs when the Bank commits to an interest rate lock on a
borrower’s application during the origination process and interest rates increase before the loan can be sold. Such
interest rate risk also arises when mortgages are placed in the warehouse (i.e., held for sale) without locking in an
interest rate for their eventual sale in the secondary market. The Bank seeks to control or limit the interest rate risk
caused by mortgage banking activities. The two methods used by the Bank to help reduce interest rate risk from its
mortgage banking activities are forward loan sale agreements and the purchase of over-the-counter put option
contracts related to mortgage-backed securities. At various times, depending on loan origination volume and
management’s assessment of projected loan fallout, the Bank may reduce or increase its derivative positions.
Under forward loan sale agreements, usually with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHLB – San Francisco or institutional
investors, the Bank is obligated to sell certain dollar amounts of mortgage loans that meet specific underwriting and
legal criteria before the expiration of the commitment period. These terms include the maturity of the individual
loans, the yield to the purchaser, the servicing spread to the Bank (if servicing is retained) and the maximum
principal amount of the individual loans. Forward loan sales protect loan sale prices from interest rate fluctuations
that may occur from the time the interest rate of the loan is established to the time of its sale. The amount of and
delivery date of the forward loan sale commitments are based upon management’s estimates as to the volume of
loans that will close and the length of the origination commitment. Forward loan sales do not provide complete
interest-rate protection, however, because of the possibility of fallout (i.e., the failure to fund) during the origination
process. Differences between the estimated volume and timing of loan originations and the actual volume and
timing of loan originations can expose the Bank to significant losses. If the Bank is not able to deliver the mortgage
loans during the appropriate delivery period, the Bank may be required to pay a non-delivery fee or repurchase the
delivery commitments at current market prices. Similarly, if the Bank has too many loans to deliver, the Bank must
execute additional forward loan sale commitments at current market prices, which may be unfavorable to the Bank.
Generally, the Bank seeks to maintain forward loan sale agreements equal to the closed loans held for sale plus those
applications that the Bank has rate locked and/or committed to close, adjusted by the projected fallout. The ultimate
accuracy of such projections will directly bear upon the amount of interest rate risk incurred by the Bank. For the
year ended June 30, 2006, the Bank had a net gain of $71,000 attributable to the underlying derivative financial
instruments. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had outstanding commitments to sell loans of $35.5 million and
commitments to originate loans to be held for sale of $66.0 million (see Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K).
In order to reduce the interest rate risk associated with commitments to originate loans that are in excess of forward
loan sale commitments, the Bank purchases over-the-counter put or call option contracts on government sponsored
enterprise mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had $9.0 million in put-option contracts
outstanding, which provided $6.4 million of coverage.
13
The activities described above are managed continually as markets change; however, there can be no assurance that
the Bank will be successful in its effort to eliminate the risk of interest rate fluctuations between the time origination
commitments are issued and the ultimate sale of the loan. The Bank employs a risk management firm to conduct
daily analysis, report the Bank’s interest rate risk position with respect to its loan origination and sale activities, and
to advise the Bank on interest rate movements and interest rate risk management strategies. The Bank’s interest rate
risk management activities are conducted in accordance with a written policy that has been approved by the Bank’s
Board of Directors which covers objectives, functions, instruments to be used, monitoring and internal controls. The
Bank does not enter into option positions for trading or speculative purposes and does not enter into option contracts
that could generate a financial obligation beyond the initial premium paid. The Bank does not apply hedge
accounting to its derivative financial instruments; therefore, all changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.
Loan Servicing
The Bank receives fees from a variety of institutional investors in return for performing the traditional services of
collecting individual loan payments. At June 30, 2006, the Bank was servicing $239.7 million of loans for others, a
decline from $275.1 million at June 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to loan prepayments, which
were larger than new loans sold on a servicing-retained basis. To the extent loans were sold on a servicing-retained
basis, the majority were sold to the FHLB – San Francisco under the MPF program. Loan servicing includes
processing payments, accounting for loan funds and collecting and paying real estate taxes, hazard insurance and
other loan-related items such as private mortgage insurance. When the Bank receives the gross mortgage payment
from individual borrowers, it remits to the investor a predetermined net amount based on the loan sale agreement for
that mortgage.
Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income and are
carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of servicing assets is determined by calculating the present
value of the estimated net future cash flows consistent with contractually specified servicing fees. The Corporation
periodically evaluates servicing assets for impairment, which is measured as the excess of cost over fair value. This
review is performed on a disaggregated basis, based on loan type and interest rate. Generally, loan servicing becomes
more valuable when interest rates rise and less valuable when interest rates decline. In estimating fair values at June
30, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation used a Constant Prepayment Rate (“CPR”) of 5.19% and 10.37%, respectively,
and a weighted-average discount rate of 9.01% and 9.01%, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, a valuation
reserve of $0 and $82,000, respectively, was established against the servicing assets. In aggregate, servicing assets
had a carrying value of $1.4 million and a fair value of $2.2 million at June 30, 2006, compared to a carrying value of
$1.7 million and a fair value of $2.0 million at June 30, 2005.
Rights to future income from serviced loans that exceed contractually specified servicing fees are recorded as
interest-only strips. Interest-only strips are carried at fair value, utilizing the same assumptions used to calculate the
value of the underlying servicing assets, with any unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, recorded as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Interest-only strips had a fair value of $584,000, gross unrealized
gains of $259,000 and an amortized cost of $325,000 at June 30, 2006, compared to a fair value of $526,000, gross
unrealized gains of $145,000 and an amortized cost of $381,000 at June 30, 2005.
Delinquencies and Classified Assets
Delinquent Loans. When a mortgage loan borrower fails to make a required payment when due, the Bank initiates
collection procedures. If the Bank is unsuccessful at curing the delinquency, a property inspection is performed
between the 45th day and 60th day of delinquency. In most cases, delinquencies are cured promptly; however, if by
the 90th day of delinquency, or sooner if the borrower is chronically delinquent, and all reasonable means of
obtaining the payment have been exhausted, foreclosure proceedings, according to the terms of the security
instrument and applicable law, are initiated. Interest income is reduced by the full amount of accrued and
uncollected interest on such loans.
A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent. In
addition, interest income is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not
14
reasonably assured. A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest
payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.

The Bank assesses loans individually and identifies impairment when the accrual of interest has been discontinued,
loans have been restructured or management has serious doubts about the future collectibility of principal and
interest, even though the loans are currently performing. Factors considered in determining impairment include, but
are not limited to, expected future cash flows, the financial condition of the borrower and current economic
conditions. The Bank measures each impaired loan based on the fair value of its collateral and charges off those
loans or portions of loans deemed uncollectable.
As of June 30, 2006, total non-performing assets were $2.5 million which was comprised of five loans, including
one tract construction loan of $1.3 million which was subsequently paid off in July 2006.
Foregone interest income, which would have been recorded for the year ended June 30, 2006 had the impaired loans
been current in accordance with their original terms, amounted to $113,000, which interest income was not included
in the results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2006.
17
Foreclosed and Investment Real Estate. Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-
lieu of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed real estate until it is sold. When property is acquired, it is recorded at
the lower of its cost, which is the unpaid principal balance of the related loan plus foreclosure costs, or market value
less the cost of sale. Subsequent declines in value are charged to operations. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had no
foreclosed real estate.
Investment real estate is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. All costs associated with disposition are
considered in the determination of fair value. The Corporation owned one property, totaling $653,000, at June 30,
2006, which is held by a wholly owned subsidiary. At June 30, 2005, the Corporation owned two properties,
totaling $9.9 million, which were held by a wholly owned subsidiary. In November 2005, the Corporation sold one
of the properties, a commercial building, for a pre-tax gain of $6.3 million (approximately $3.6 million net of
statutory taxes).
Asset Classification. The OTS has adopted various regulations regarding problem assets of savings institutions.
The regulations require that each institution review and classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in
connection with examinations of institutions, OTS examiners have the authority to identify problem assets and, if
appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful
and loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility
that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses
of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on
the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An
asset classified as a loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the
institution is not warranted. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the institution establishes a specific
loss allowance for the full amount or for the portion of the asset classified as loss. All or a portion of allowances for
loan losses established to cover probable losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included
in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses generally do
not qualify as regulatory capital. Assets that do not currently expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant
classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as special mention and
are monitored by the Bank.
The aggregate amounts of the Bank’s classified assets, including assets designated as special mention, were as
follows at the dates indicated:

The Bank’s classified assets increased $571,000, or 6.5%, to $9.3 million at June 30, 2006 from $8.8 million at June
30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in substandard assets, partly offset by a reduction
in special mention assets. As of June 30, 2006, special mention assets were comprised of two single-family loans
($490,000), four commercial real estate loans ($2.2 million), one construction loan ($491,000) and two commercial
business loans ($476,000); and substandard assets were comprised of 10 single-family loans ($3.1 million), three
commercial real estate loans ($748,000), two construction loans ($1.7 million) and three commercial business loans
($131,000).
18
As set forth below, assets classified as special mention and substandard as of June 30, 2006 included 27 loans
totaling approximately $9.3 million.

Not all of the Bank’s classified assets are delinquent or non-performing. In determining whether the Bank’s assets
expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant classification, the Bank may consider various factors, including the
payment history of the borrower, the loan-to-value ratio, and the debt coverage ratio of the property securing the
loan. After consideration of these factors, the Bank may determine that the asset in question, though not currently
delinquent, presents a risk of loss that requires it to be classified or designated as special mention. In addition, the
Bank’s loans held for investment may include commercial and multi-family real estate loans with a balance
exceeding the current market value of the collateral which are not classified because they are performing and have
borrowers who have sufficient resources to support the repayment of the loan.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses inherent in the loans held
for investment. In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss
will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term
of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral securing the
loan. The responsibility for the review of the Bank’s assets and the determination of the adequacy of the allowance
lies with the Internal Asset Review Committee (“IAR Committee”). The Bank increases its allowance for loan
losses by charging a provision for loan losses against the Bank’s operations.
The Bank has established a methodology for the determination of the provision for loan losses. The methodology is
set forth in a formal policy and takes into consideration the need for an overall allowance for loan losses as well as
specific allowances that are tied to individual loans. The Bank’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of
the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance, specific allowance for
identified problem loans and unallocated allowance.
The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to the loans held for investment. The loss factors are
applied according to loan program type and loan classification. The loss factors for each program type and loan
classification are established based on an evaluation of the historical loss experience, prevailing market conditions,
concentration in loan types and other relevant factors. Homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage, home
equity and consumer installment loans are considered on a pooled loan basis. A factor is assigned to each pool
based upon expected charge-offs for one year. The factors for larger, less homogeneous loans, such as construction,
multi-family and commercial real estate loans, are based upon loss experience tracked over business cycles
considered appropriate for the loan type.
Specific valuation allowances are established to absorb losses on loans for which full collectibility may not be
reasonably assured as prescribed in SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of A Loan,” (as
amended by SFAS No. 118). The amount of the specific allowance is based on the estimated value of the collateral
securing the loan and other analyses pertinent to each situation. Estimates of identifiable losses are reviewed
continually and, generally, a provision for losses is charged against operations on a monthly basis as necessary to
maintain the allowance at an appropriate level. Management presents the minutes of the IAR Committee to the
Bank’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, which summarizes the actions of the Committee.
19
The unallocated allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of various conditions, the effect of which are not
directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss
with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with
specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated in connection with the unallocated
allowance include the following conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date: (1) then-existing general
economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Bank; (2) credit quality trends; (3) loan
volumes and concentrations; (4) recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio; and (5) regulatory
examination results.
The IAR Committee meets quarterly to review and monitor conditions in the portfolio and to determine the
appropriate allowance for loan losses. To the extent that any of these conditions are apparent by identifiable
problem credits or portfolio segments as of the evaluation date, the IAR Committee’s estimate of the effect of such
conditions may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credits or portfolio segments. Where any of
these conditions is not apparent by specifically identifiable problem credits or portfolio segments as of the
evaluation date, the IAR Committee’s evaluation of the probable loss related to such condition is reflected in the
unallocated allowance. The intent of the Committee is to reduce the differences between estimated and actual
losses. Pooled loan factors are adjusted to reflect current estimates of charge-offs for the subsequent twelve months.
Loss activity is reviewed for non-pooled loans and the loss factors adjusted, if necessary. By assessing the probable
estimated losses inherent in the loans held for investment on a quarterly basis, the Bank is able to adjust specific and
inherent loss estimates based upon the most recent information that has become available.
At June 30, 2006, the Bank had an allowance for loan losses of $10.3 million, or 0.81% of gross loans held for
investment, compared to an allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2005 of $9.2 million, or 0.81% of gross loans held
for investment. A $1.1 million provision for loan losses was recorded in fiscal 2006, compared to $1.6 million in
fiscal 2005. The Bank’s intent to expand its investment in multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and
commercial business loans may lead to increased levels of charge-offs. However, management believes that the
amount maintained in the allowance will be adequate, but not excessive, to absorb losses inherent in the loans held
for investment. Although management believes the best information available is used to make such determinations,
future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be significantly
and adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the Corporation revised its formula allowance for loan losses methodology by
increasing the factors used to calculate the loan loss provision for single-family, construction and other loans while
decreasing the factors used to calculate the loan loss provision for multi-family and commercial real estate loans.
This action was taken as a result of the concentration of single-family loans with an interest-only payment feature,
current real estate markets, mortgage interest rates, the general economic environment and our experience and
expectations for loan losses by loan product type in the current environment.
As a result of past declines in local and regional real estate values and the significant losses experienced by many
financial institutions, there has been a higher level of scrutiny by regulatory authorities of the loan portfolios of
financial institutions undertaken as a part of the examinations of such institutions. While the Bank believes that it
has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loan portfolio, will
not recommend that the Bank significantly increase its allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events
affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing
allowance for loan losses is adequate or that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any
loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses
may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
20
The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. Where
specific loan loss reserves have been established, any differences between the loss allowances and the amount of
loss realized has been charged or credited to current operations.

Investment Securities Activities
Federally chartered savings institutions are permitted under federal and state laws to invest in various types of liquid
assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and government sponsored
enterprises and of state and municipal governments, deposits at the FHLB, certificates of deposit of federally insured
institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances, mortgage-backed securities and federal funds. Subject to various
restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may also invest a portion of their assets in commercial paper and
corporate debt securities. Savings institutions such as the Bank are also required to maintain an investment in FHLB
– San Francisco stock. In addition, the Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of investments that qualify as
liquid assets under OTS regulations (see “REGULATION” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” on page 29 and
57 of this Form 10-K). In April 2002, the OTS removed the specific liquidity requirement and now requires
institutions to maintain the appropriate level of liquidity specific to their operations.
The investment policy of the Bank, established by the Board of Directors and implemented by the Bank’s Asset-
Liability Committee (“ALCO”), seeks to provide and maintain adequate liquidity, complement the Bank’s lending
activities, and generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate risk and credit risk.
Investments are made based on certain considerations, such as yield, credit quality, maturity, liquidity and
marketability. The Bank also considers the effect that the proposed investment would have on the Bank’s risk-based
capital requirements and interest rate risk sensitivity.
At June 30, 2006, the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio was $177.2 million, which primarily consisted of
federal agency and government sponsored enterprise obligations. A total of $126.2 million (estimated fair value) of
the Corporation’s investment securities portfolio was classified as available for sale. All other securities were
classified as held to maturity.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank’s investment portfolio at the dates indicated.

As of June 30, 2006, the unrealized holding losses relate to a total of 57 investment securities, which consist of 26
adjustable rate MBS, three adjustable rate CMO and 28 fixed rate government sponsored enterprise debt obligations,
which have been in an unrealized loss position (ranging from a deminimus percentage to 5.7% of cost) for more than
12 months. Such unrealized holding losses are the result of an increase in market interest rates during fiscal 2006
and are not the result of credit or principal risk. Based on the nature of the investments and other considerations
discussed above, management concluded that such unrealized losses were not other than temporary as of June 30,
2006.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
General. Deposits, the proceeds from loan sales and loan repayments are the major sources of the Bank’s funds for
lending and other investment purposes. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while
deposit inflows and outflows are influenced significantly by general interest rates and money market conditions.
Loan sales are also influenced significantly by general interest rates. Borrowings through the FHLB – San Francisco
and repurchase agreements may be used to compensate for declines in the availability of funds from other sources.
Deposit Accounts. Substantially all of the Bank’s depositors are residents of the State of California. Deposits are
attracted from within the Bank’s market area by offering a broad selection of deposit instruments, including
checking, savings, money market and time deposits. Deposit account terms vary, differentiated by the minimum
balance required, the time periods that the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors.
In determining the terms of its deposit accounts, the Bank considers current interest rates, profitability to the Bank,
interest rate risk characteristics, competition and its customer’s preferences and concerns. Generally, the Bank’s
deposit rates are commensurate with the median rates of its competitors within a given market. The Bank may
occasionally pay above-market interest rates to attract or retain deposits when less expensive sources of funds are
not available. The Bank may also pay above-market interest rates in specific markets in order to increase the deposit
base of a particular office or group of offices. The Bank does not generally accept brokered deposits. The Bank
reviews its deposit composition and pricing on a weekly basis.
The Bank currently offers time deposits for terms not exceeding five years. As illustrated in the following table,
time deposits represented 57.4% of the Bank’s deposit portfolio at June 30, 2006, compared to 47.3% at June 30,
2005. At June 30, 2006, the Bank has a single depositor with an aggregate balance of $100.0 million. The Bank
attempts to reduce the overall cost of its deposit portfolio and to increase its franchise value by emphasizing
transaction accounts which are subject to a heightened degree of competition (see Item 7, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 45 of this Form 10-K).
The following table sets forth information concerning the Bank’s weighted-average interest rate of deposits at June

Borrowings. The FHLB – San Francisco functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for member financial
institutions. As a member, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB – San Francisco and is authorized
to apply for advances using such stock and certain of its mortgage loans and other assets (principally investment
securities) as collateral, provided certain creditworthiness standards have been met. Advances are made pursuant to
several different credit programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate, maturity, terms and conditions.
Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based on the financial condition of the
member institution and the adequacy of collateral pledged to secure the credit. The Bank utilizes advances from the
FHLB – San Francisco as an alternative to deposits to supplement its supply of lendable funds, to meet deposit
withdrawal requirements and to help manage interest rate risk. The FHLB – San Francisco has, from time to time,
served as the Bank’s primary borrowing source. Advances from the FHLB – San Francisco are typically secured by
the Bank’s single-family residential first mortgages, multi-family and commercial real estate loans. Total mortgage
loans pledged to the FHLB – San Francisco were $737.3 million at June 30, 2006 as compared to $515.4 million at
June 30, 2005. In addition, the Bank pledged investment securities totaling $54.6 million at June 30, 2006 as
compared to $128.5 million at June 30, 2005 to collateralize its FHLB – San Francisco advances under the
Securities-Backed Credit (“SBC”) facility. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had $546.2 million of borrowings from the
FHLB – San Francisco with a weighted-average rate of 4.53%, of which $54.5 million was under the SBC facility.
Such borrowings mature between 2006 and 2021.
In addition, the Bank has a borrowing arrangement in the form of a federal funds facility with its correspondent bank
in the amount of $60.0 million. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank had no outstanding correspondent bank advances as
compared to $10.0 million at a rate of 3.39% as of June 30, 2005.

Federal savings institutions generally may invest up to 3% of their assets in service corporations, provided that at
least one-half of any amount in excess of 1% is used primarily for community, inner-city and community
development projects. The Bank’s investment in its service corporations did not exceed these limits at June 30,
2006.
The Bank has three wholly owned subsidiaries; Provident Financial Corp (“PFC”), Profed Mortgage, Inc., and First
Service Corporation. PFC’s current activities include: (i) acting as trustee for the Bank’s real estate transactions and
(ii) holding real estate for investment. The real estate investment of PFC is six acres of land in Riverside, California
with a book value of $653,000 as of June 30, 2006. Profed Mortgage, Inc., which formerly conducted the Bank’s
mortgage banking activities, and First Service Corporation are currently inactive. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s
investment in its subsidiaries was $841,000.
REGULATION
The following is a brief description of certain laws and regulations which are applicable to the Corporation and the
Bank. The description of these laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained
elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws
and regulations.
29
Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that may affect the Corporation’s and the
Bank’s operations. In addition, the regulations governing the Corporation and the Bank may be amended from time
to time by the OTS. Any such legislation or regulatory changes could adversely affect the Corporation and the Bank
and no prediction can be made as to whether any such changes may occur.
General
The Bank, as a federally chartered savings institution, is subject to extensive regulation, examination and
supervision by the OTS, as its primary federal regulator, and the FDIC, as its insurer of deposits. The Bank is a
member of the FHLB System and its deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank must file
reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining
regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other
financial institutions. There are periodic examinations by the OTS and, under certain circumstances, the FDIC to
evaluate the Bank’s safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulatory
structure is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also
gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities
and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of
adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such policies, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or
Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation and the Bank and their operations. The
Corporation, as a savings and loan holding company, is required to file certain reports with, is subject to
examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the OTS. The Corporation is also
subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commision (“SEC”) under the federal securities
laws. See “-- Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulations.”
Federal Regulation of Savings Institutions
Office of Thrift Supervision. The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings institutions. As part
of this authority, the Bank is required to file periodic reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations
by the OTS and the FDIC. The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their
holding companies, including the Bank and the Corporation. This enforcement authority includes, among other
things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and initiate injunctive
actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or
unsound practices. Other actions or inaction may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or
untimely reports filed with the OTS. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement
actions by the OTS is required.
In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of the Bank is prescribed by federal laws and it is
prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by these laws. For example, no savings institution may
invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal
institutions in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with
approval of the OTS. Federal savings institutions are also generally authorized to branch nationwide. The Bank is
in compliance with the noted restrictions.
All savings institutions are required to pay assessments to the OTS to fund the agency’s operations. The general
assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are determined based on the savings institution’s total assets, including
consolidated subsidiaries. The Bank’s annual OTS assessment for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 was
$311,000.
Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the national bank limit on loans to one
borrower. A savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in
excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired
capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily marketable collateral. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s limit on
loans to one borrower was $21.2 million. At June 30, 2006, the Bank’s largest loan commitment to a single
borrower was $8.5 million. Of this commitment, $683,000 has been disbursed in the form of single-family tract
construction loan, which is performing according to its original terms.
30
The OTS, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness
standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings, internal controls and
audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution that fails
to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB – San Francisco, which is one of 12
regional FHLBs that administer the home financing credit function of member financial institutions. Each FHLB
serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds
derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans or advances to members in
accordance with policies and procedures, established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB, which are subject to
the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured
by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide
funds for residential home financing. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had $546.2 million of outstanding advances from
the FHLB – San Francisco under an available credit facility of $624.7 million, which is limited to available
collateral. See “Business – Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds – Borrowings.”
As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB – San Francisco. At June 30, 2006,
the Bank had $37.6 million in FHLB – San Francisco stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past
years, the Bank has received substantial dividends on its FHLB – San Francisco stock. The average dividend yield
for fiscal 2006 and 2005 was 4.78% and 4.41%, respectively. There is no guarantee that the FHLB – San Francisco
will maintain its dividend at these levels.
Under federal law, the FHLB is required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to
contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances
targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have
adversely affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions
also could have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in value of the Bank's
FHLB stock may result in a corresponding reduction in the Bank's capital.
Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (“Reform
Act”) was signed into law on February 8, 2006 and amended current laws regarding the federal deposit insurance
system. Pursuant to the Reform Act, the FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association
Insurance Fund into one deposit insurance fund, the DIF, on March 31, 2006. The new legislation also abolished the
prior minimum 1.25% reserve ratio and the mandatory assessments when the ratio falls below 1.25%. Under the
Reform Act, the FDIC, at the beginning of each year, has the flexibility to adjust the DIF's reserve ratio between
1.15% and 1.50% depending upon a variety of factors, including projected losses, economic considerations and
assessment rates.
Pursuant to the Reform Act, effective April 1, 2006, deposit insurance coverage limits were increased from
$100,000 to $250,000 for certain types of Individual Retirement Accounts, 401(k) plans and other retirement
savings accounts, including Keogh accounts and “457 plan” accounts, among others. The current $100,000 limit
continues to apply to individual accounts and municipal deposits; however, the Reform Act authorizes the FDIC to
review all levels of insurance coverage every five years beginning in 2011, and index such insurance coverage to
inflation. Additionally, under the Reform Act, undercapitalized financial institutions are restricted from accepting
employee benefit plan deposits. Certain one-time deposit premium assessment credits are also authorized under the
Reform Act, and regulations related to the allotment of such credits have recently been issued by the FDIC. To date,
however, the credit program has not been finalized and the credits will not be rebated but instead may be applied
against premiums at any time, subject to limited exceptions.
The Reform Act also provides that the FDIC must promulgate final regulations implementing the Reform Act no
later than 270 days after its enactment, or by November 5, 2006. Because the FDIC has not promulgated these final
regulations, it is difficult to predict the effect, if any, such regulations will have on the Bank’s operations.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The Bank is a member of the DIF, which is administered by
the FDIC. The FDIC insures deposits up to the applicable limits and this insurance is backed by the full faith and
31
credit of the United States government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized
to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-
insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to
the FDIC. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving
the OTS an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that the
institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.
The FDIC’s deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based system under which all insured
depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their
level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as well capitalized (i.e., a core
capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or core capital to risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at
least 6% and a risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy pay the lowest premiums while
institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a
risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest
premiums. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment
period. The Reform Act authorizes the FDIC to revise its current risk-based system, subject to public notice and
comment, although no deadline was given by Congress for the creation or implementation of such regulations.
DIF-insured institutions are required to pay a Financing Corporation (FICO) assessment, in order to fund the interest
on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the FICO assessment
was equal to 1.32 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits. These assessments, which may be revised based
upon the level of DIF deposits, will continue until the bonds mature in the years 2017 through 2019.
Prompt Corrective Action. The OTS is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized
savings institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s degree of undercapitalization. Generally,
an institution is considered to be “undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of less
than 8.0%, a ratio of Tier I (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4.0%, or a ratio of core capital to total
assets of less than 4.0% (3.0% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating). An institution that has a
total risk-based capital ratio less than 6.0%, a Tier I capital ratio of less than 3.0% or a leverage ratio that is less than
3.0% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized” and an institution that has a tangible capital to total assets
ratio equal to or less than 1.5% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.” Subject to a narrow exception, the
OTS is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings institution that is “critically undercapitalized.”
OTS regulations also require that a capital restoration plan be filed with the OTS within 45 days of the date a
savings institution receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically
undercapitalized.” In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an
undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on
growth, capital distributions and expansion.
“Significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized”
institutions are subject to more extensive mandatory regulatory actions. The OTS also could take any one of a
number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of
senior executive officers and directors.
At June 30, 2006, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations of
the OTS.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking regulatory agencies have prescribed, by regulation,
standards for all insured depository institutions relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal
audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; (v) asset growth; (vi)
asset quality; (vii) earnings; and (viii) compensation, fees and benefits (“Guidelines”). The Guidelines set forth the
safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured
depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the OTS determines that the Bank fails to meet any
standard prescribed by the Guidelines, it may require the Bank to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance
with the standard. OTS regulations establish deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness
compliance plans. Management is aware of no conditions relating to these safety and soundness standards which
would require the submission of a plan of compliance.
32
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings institutions, including the Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift
lender (“QTL”) test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have
at least 65% of its total assets as defined by regulation, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine
out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets
in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). Under either test, such
assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments.
A savings institution that fails to meet the QTL is subject to certain operating restrictions and may be required to
convert to a national bank charter. Recent legislation has expanded the extent to which education loans, credit card
loans and small business loans may be considered “qualified thrift investments.” As of June 30, 2006, the Bank
maintained 83.76% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the qualified thrift lender
test.
Capital Requirements. The OTS’s capital regulations require federal savings institutions to meet three minimum
capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital to total assets ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the
highest rating on the CAMELS examination rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the
prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital
standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS system) and, together
with the risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier I risk-based capital standard. The OTS regulations also require
that, in meeting the tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct
investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal that are not permissible for a national
bank.
The risk-based capital standard requires federal savings institutions to maintain Tier I (core) and total capital (which
is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In
determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, recourse
obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%,
assigned by the OTS capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core (Tier I) capital
is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred
stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other
than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital
currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities,
subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of
1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily
determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital
cannot exceed 100% of core capital.
The OTS also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon a
determination that an institution’s capital level is or may become inadequate in light of the particular circumstances.
At June 30, 2006, the Bank met each of these capital requirements. For additional information, see Note 10 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Limitations on Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose various restrictions on savings institutions with
respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases,
cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. Generally, savings institutions, such as the
Bank, that before and after the proposed distribution are well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any
calendar year equal to up to 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding
years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OTS may have its
dividend authority restricted by the OTS. The Bank may pay dividends to the Corporation in accordance with this
general authority.
Savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit written notice to the OTS prior to
such distribution unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well-capitalized following
the distribution. Savings institutions that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital requirements
following a proposed capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations, must obtain OTS
approval prior to making such distribution. The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based
33
on safety and soundness concerns.
Activities of Associations and Their Subsidiaries. When a savings institution establishes or acquires a subsidiary
or elects to conduct any new activity through a subsidiary that the association controls, the savings institution must
notify the FDIC and the OTS 30 days in advance and provide the information each agency may, by regulation,
require. Savings institutions also must conduct the activities of subsidiaries in accordance with existing regulations
and orders.
The OTS may determine that the continuation by a savings institution of its ownership, control of, or its relationship
to, the subsidiary constitutes a serious risk to the safety, soundness or stability of the savings institution or is
inconsistent with sound banking practices or with the purposes of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Based upon
that determination, the FDIC or the OTS has the authority to order the savings institution to divest itself of control of
the subsidiary. The FDIC also may determine by regulation or order that any specific activity poses a serious threat
to the DIF. If so, it may require that no DIF member engage in that activity directly.
Transactions with Affiliates. The Bank’s authority to engage in transactions with “affiliates” is limited by OTS
regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act as implemented by the Federal Reserve
Board’s Regulation W. The term “affiliates” for these purposes generally means any company that controls or is
under common control with an institution. The Corporation and its non-savings institution subsidiaries would be
affiliates of the Bank. In general, transactions with affiliates must be on terms that are as favorable to the institution
as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of transactions are restricted to an aggregate
percentage of the institution’s capital. Collateral in specified amounts must usually be provided by affiliates in order
to receive loans from an institution. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to any affiliate that
is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase
the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) generally prohibits a company from making loans to its
executive officers and directors. However, that act contains a specific exception for loans by a depository institution
to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws. Under such laws, the Bank’s authority
to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders (“insiders”), as well as entities such person’s
control is limited. The law restricts both the individual and aggregate amount of loans the Bank may make to insiders
based, in part, on the Bank’s capital position and requires certain Board approval procedures to be followed. Such
loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more
than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation
program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to insiders over other
employees. There are additional restrictions applicable to loans to executive officers.
Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC-insured institution has a
continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs
of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act
does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an
institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular
community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the
OTS, in connection with the examination of the Bank, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of
its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such as a merger or the
establishment of a branch, by the Bank. The OTS may use an unsatisfactory rating as the basis for the denial of an
application. Due to the heightened attention being given to the Community Reinvestment Act in the past few years,
the Bank may be required to devote additional funds for investment and lending in its local community. The Bank
was examined for Community Reinvestment Act compliance and received a rating of satisfactory in its latest
examination.
Affiliate Transactions. The Corporation and the Bank are separate and distinct legal entities. Various legal
limitations restrict the Bank from lending or otherwise supplying funds to the Corporation, generally limiting any
single transaction to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus and limiting all such transactions to 20% of the Bank's
capital and surplus. These transactions also must be on terms and conditions consistent with safe and sound banking
practices that are substantially the same as those prevailing at the time for transactions with unaffiliated companies.
34
Federally insured savings institutions are subject, with certain exceptions, to certain restrictions on extensions of
credit to their parent holding companies or other affiliates, on investments in the stock or other securities of affiliates
and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral from any borrower. In addition, these institutions are
prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or the providing
of any property or service.
Regulatory and Criminal Enforcement Provisions. The OTS has primary enforcement responsibility over
savings institutions and has the authority to bring action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including
stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful
action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the
issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers or directors, receivership,
conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can
amount to $25,000 per day, or $1.1 million per day in especially egregious cases. The FDIC has the authority to
recommend to the Director of the OTS that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings
institution. If the Director does not take action, the FDIC has authority to take such action under certain
circumstances. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.
Environmental Issues Associated with Real Estate Lending. The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), a federal statute, generally imposes strict liability on all prior and
present "owners and operators" of sites containing hazardous waste. However, Congress asked to protect secured
creditors by providing that the term "owner and operator" excludes a person whose ownership is limited to
protecting its security interest in the site. Since the enactment of the CERCLA, this "secured creditor exemption"
has been the subject of judicial interpretations which have left open the possibility that lenders could be liable for
cleanup costs on contaminated property that they hold as collateral for a loan.
To the extent that legal uncertainty exists in this area, all creditors, including the Bank, that have made loans secured
by properties with potential hazardous waste contamination (such as petroleum contamination) could be subject to
liability for cleanup costs, which costs often substantially exceed the value of the collateral property.
Privacy Standards. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 ("GLBA"), which
was enacted in 1999, modernized the financial services industry by establishing a comprehensive framework to
permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other financial service
providers. The Bank is subject to OTS regulations implementing the privacy protection provisions of the GLBA.
These regulations require the Bank to disclose its privacy policy, including identifying with whom it shares "non-
public personal information," to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually
thereafter.
Anti-Money Laundering and Customer Identification. Congress enacted the Uniting and Strengthening America
by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "USA Patriot Act")
on October 26, 2001 in response to the terrorist events of September 11, 2001. The USA Patriot Act gives the
federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded
surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. In March
2006, Congress re-enacted certain expiring provisions of the USA Patriot Act.
Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulations
General. The Corporation is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to the regulatory oversight of the
OTS. Accordingly, the Corporation is required to register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation
and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the Corporation and its non-
savings institution subsidiaries, which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to
present a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.
Mergers and Acquisitions. The Corporation must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring more than 5% of
the voting stock of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company or acquiring such an institution
or holding company by merger, consolidation or purchase of its assets. In evaluating an application for the
35
Corporation to acquire control of a savings institution, the OTS would consider the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the Corporation and the target institution, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to
the insurance funds, the convenience and the needs of the community and competitive factors.
Activities Restrictions. As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Corporation generally is not subject to
activity restrictions. The Corporation and its non-savings institution subsidiaries are subject to statutory and
regulatory restrictions on their business activities specified by federal regulations, which include performing
services and holding properties used by a savings institution subsidiary, activities authorized for savings and loan
holding companies as of March 5, 1987, and non-banking activities permissible for bank holding companies
pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or authorized for financial holding companies pursuant to the
GLBA.
If the Bank fails the QTL test, the Corporation must, within one year of that failure, register as, and will become
subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. See “Federal Regulation of Savings Institutions -
Qualified Thrift Lender Test” on page 33 of this Form 10-K.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was signed into law on July 30, 2002 in response to public concerns
regarding corporate accountability in connection with certain accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing
improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of
corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies
that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including
the Corporation.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance
rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosures, corporate governance and
related rules and mandates. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters
traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state
corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of
directors and its committees.
Federal Taxation
TAXATION
General. The Corporation and the Bank report their income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of
accounting and will be subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations with some
exceptions, including particularly the Bank’s reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax
matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules
applicable to the Bank or the Corporation.
Tax Bad Debt Reserves. As a result of legislation enacted in 1996, the reserve method of accounting for bad debt
reserves was repealed for tax years beginning after December 31, 1995. Due to such repeal, the Bank is no longer
able to calculate its deduction for bad debts using the percentage-of-taxable-income or the experience method.
Instead, the Bank will be permitted to deduct as bad debt expense its specific charge-offs during the taxable year. In
addition, the legislation required savings institutions to recapture into taxable income, over a six-year period, their
post-1987 additions to their bad debt tax reserves. As of the effective date of the legislation, the Bank had no post-
1987 additions to its bad debt tax reserves. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank’s total pre-1988 bad debt reserve for tax
purposes was approximately $9.0 million. Under current law, a savings institution will not be required to recapture
its pre-1988 bad debt reserve unless the Bank makes a “non-dividend distribution” as defined below.
Distributions. To the extent that the Bank makes “non-dividend distributions” to the Corporation that are
considered as made from the reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans, to the extent the reserve for such
losses exceeds the amount that would have been allowed under the experience method; or from the supplemental
reserve for losses on loans (“Excess Distributions”), then an amount based on the amount distributed will be
36
included in the Bank’s taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of the Bank’s
current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or
complete liquidation. However, dividends paid out of the Bank’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
calculated for federal income tax purposes, will not be considered to result in a distribution from the Bank’s bad
debt reserve. Thus, any dividends to the Corporation that would reduce amounts appropriated to the Bank’s bad
debt reserve and deducted for federal income tax purposes would create a tax liability for the Bank. The amount of
additional taxable income attributable to an Excess Distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax
attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if the Bank makes a “non-dividend
distribution,” then approximately one and one-half times the amount distributed will be included in taxable income
for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 35% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state and local taxes). See
“Limitation on Capital Distributions” on page 33 of this Form 10-K for limits on the payment of dividends by the
Bank. The Bank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its tax bad debt
reserve. During fiscal 2006, the Bank declared and paid cash dividends to the Corporation of $6.0 million while the
Corporation declared and paid cash dividends to the shareholders of $4.1 million.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 imposes a tax on alternative minimum
taxable income (“AMTI”) at a rate of 20%. In addition, only 90% of AMTI can be offset by net operating loss
carryovers. AMTI is increased by an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the Bank’s adjusted current
earnings exceeds its AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior to reduction for net operating
losses).
Non-Qualified Compensation Tax Benefits. During fiscal 2006, 1,452 shares of common stock under the
Management Recognition Plan (“MRP”) were distributed to non-employee members of the Corporation’s Board of
Directors in accordance with previous awards and consistent with the vesting schedule. Also, 256,289 common
stock option contracts to purchase shares of the Corporation’s common stock were exercised as non-qualified stock
option contracts during fiscal 2006. The federal tax benefit from the non-qualified compensation in fiscal 2006 was
$1.9 million.
Other Matters. The Internal Revenue Service has audited the Bank’s income tax returns through 1996 and the
California Franchise Tax Board has audited the Bank through 1990.
State Taxation
California. The California franchise tax rate applicable to the Bank equals the franchise tax rate applicable to
corporations generally, plus an “in lieu” rate of 2%, which is approximately equal to personal property taxes and
business license taxes paid by such corporations (but not generally paid by banks or financial corporations such as
the Bank). At June 30, 2006, the Corporation’s net state tax rate was 7.2%. Bad debt deductions are available in
computing California franchise taxes using the specific charge-off method. The Bank and its California subsidiaries
file California franchise tax returns on a combined basis. The Corporation will be treated as a general corporation
subject to the general corporate tax rate. The state tax benefit from the non-qualified compensation in fiscal 2006, as
described under the Federal Taxation section, was $655,000.
Delaware. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in Delaware, the Corporation is exempted from
Delaware corporate income tax, but is required to file an annual report with and pay an annual franchise tax to the
State of Delaware.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We assume and manage a certain degree of risk in order to conduct our business strategy. In addition to the risk
factors described below, other risks and uncertainties not specifically mentioned, or that are currently known to, or
deemed by, management to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of
operation and/or cash flows. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks
described below together with all of the other information included in this Form 10-K. If any of the circumstances
described in the following risk factors actually occur to a significant degree, the value of our common stock could
decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets.
Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest
income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investment securities and the interest paid on
deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities
of our assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any period of time, our
interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities,
or vice versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and deposit products may not
change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to
our position, our earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan volume and quality and deposit volume and
mix can be affected by market interest rates. Changes in levels of market interest rates could materially adversely
affect our net interest spread, asset quality, origination volume and overall profitability.
Interest rates have recently been at historically low levels. However, since June 30, 2004, the U.S. Federal Reserve
has increased its target for the federal funds rate 17 times, from 1.00% to 5.25%, and the most recent interest rate
increase was on June 29, 2006. While these short-term market interest rates have increased the pricing of our loans,
it has been more than offset by the rise in our funding costs. In a sustained rising interest rate environment the asset
yields may not match rising funding costs, which may negatively impact interest margins. A sustained falling
interest rate environment would positively impact margins.
We manage our assets and liabilities in order to achieve long-term profitability while limiting our exposure to the
fluctuation of interest rates. We anticipate periodic imbalances in the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and
liabilities and the relationship of various interest rates to each other. At any reporting period, we may have earning
assets which are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than interest-bearing liabilities, or vice versa. The
fluctuation of market interest rates can materially affect our net interest spread, interest margin, loan originations,
deposit volumes and overall profitability. In addition, we may have valuation risk in measuring our interest rate risk
position. The valuation risk is attributable to calculation methods (modeling risks) and assumptions used in the
model, including loan prepayments and forward interest rates.
Our mortgage banking business is subject to additional interest rate risk. For instance, rising interest rates may
lower the loan origination volume thereby reducing the gain on sale of loans. Additionally, since the loan
origination volume is hedged against interest rate fluctuations with forward loan sale commitments and put option
contracts, rising or falling interest rates may alter the actual loan origination volume such that the hedges are
insufficient to protect our profitability margins. Also, we cannot be assured that the value of the instruments we use
39
to hedge our loan origination volume will react to the interest rate fluctuations in the same manner as the value of
the loan origination commitments which may also significantly impact profitability.
For further information on our interest rate risks, see the discussion included in “Item 7A. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks” on page 58 of this Form 10-K.
We are subject to credit risks in connection with our lending practices.
We are subject to credit risk in connection with our loans held for investment, loans available for sale, receivable
from sale of loans, investment securities and in connection with the mortgage banking activities, particularly in the
sale of loans (counter-party risk). We have established stringent underwriting policies to mitigate this risk for the
purpose of determining the credit worthiness of each borrower. To assist us in this endeavor, we have established
the Internal Asset Review Committee and Quality Assurance Department. The Internal Asset Review Committee
manages the exposure to credit losses in each of these business operations, including the adequacy of allowance for
loan losses; while Quality Assurance Department verifies the existence, authenticity, completeness, and accuracy of
legal, compliance and credit documentation, and the quality of real property appraisals, and underwriting decisions
for loan originations.
Additionally, multi-family and commercial real estate loans bear higher credit risk as compared to single-family
mortgage loans. These loans are typically secured by properties that are generally greater in amount, more difficult
to evaluate and monitor and are susceptible to default as a result of changes in general economic conditions and,
therefore, involve a greater degree of risk than single-family mortgage loans. Since payments on loans secured by
multi-family and commercial real estate are often dependent on the successful operation and management of the
properties, repayment of such loans may be impacted by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the
economy. Our multi-family and commercial real estate loans are primarily located in Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties.
Our non-traditional or "Alt-A" loans include interest-only loans, stated-income loans and more than 30-year
amortization loans and bear higher credit risk. In the case of interest-only loans a borrower's payment is subject to
change in the future when the loan converts to a fully-amortizing status. Since the payment may increase by a
substantial amount there is no assurance that the borrower will be able to afford the increased monthly payment. In
the case of stated income loans a borrower may misrepresent his income or source of income (which we have not
verified) in order to obtain the loan. The borrower may not have sufficient income to qualify for the loan amount
and may not be able to make the monthly loan payment. In the case of more than 30-year amortization loans the
term of the loan requires many more monthly payments from the borrower (ultimately increasing the cost of the
home) and subjects the loan to more interest rate cycles, economic cycles and employment cycles which increases
the possibility that the borrower is negatively impacted by one of these cycles and is no longer willing or able to
meet his monthly payment obligations.
Our funding sources may prove insufficient to replace deposits and support our future growth.
We rely on customer deposits and advances from the FHLB – San Francisco and other borrowings to fund our
operations. Although we have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and advances if desired, no
assurance can be given that we would be able to replace such funds in the future if our financial condition or the
financial condition of the FHLB – San Francisco or market conditions were to change. Our financial flexibility will
be severely constrained if we are unable to maintain our access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to
accommodate future growth at acceptable interest rates. Finally, if we are required to rely more heavily on more
expensive funding sources to support future growth, our revenues may not increase proportionately to cover our
costs. In this case, our profitability would be adversely affected.
Although we consider such sources of funds adequate for our liquidity needs, we may seek additional debt in the
future to achieve our long-term business objectives. There can be no assurance additional borrowings, if sought,
would be available to us or, if available, would be on favorable terms. If additional financing sources are
unavailable or are not available on reasonable terms, our growth and future prospects could be adversely affected.
40
Our profitability depends significantly on economic conditions in the State of California.
Our success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the State of California and the specific local
markets in which we operate. Adverse economic conditions unique to the California markets could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Further, a significant decline in general
economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, unemployment, changes in securities markets or other factors
could impact our state and local markets and, in turn, also have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operations. Of particular concern are the rising real estate values, which may prove unsustainable in
our current rising interest rate environment and may lead to higher loan losses since the majority of our loans are
secured by real estate located within California. Similarly, if California were to experience significant declines in
real estate values, this decline may inhibit our ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real
estate.
Competition with other financial institutions could adversely affect our profitability.
The banking and financial services industry is very competitive. Legal and regulatory developments have made it
easier for new and sometimes unregulated competitors to compete with us. Consolidation among financial service
providers has resulted in fewer very large national and regional banking and financial institutions holding a large
accumulation of assets. These institutions generally have significantly greater resources, a wider geographic
presence or greater accessibility. Our competitors sometimes are also able to offer more services, more favorable
pricing or greater customer convenience than we do. In addition, our competition has grown from new banks and
other financial services providers that target our existing or potential customers. As consolidation continues among
large banks, we expect additional institutions to try to exploit our market.
Technological developments have allowed competitors including some non-depository institutions, to compete more
effectively in local markets and have expanded the range of financial products, services and capital available to our
target customers. If we are unable to implement, maintain and use such technologies effectively, we may not be able
to offer products or achieve cost-efficiencies necessary to compete in our industry. In addition, some of these
competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and lower cost structures.
The loss of key members of our senior management team could adversely affect our business.
We believe that our success depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our senior management. Their experience
and industry contacts significantly benefit us. The competition for qualified personnel in the financial services
industry is intense, and the loss of any of our key personnel or an inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate
key personnel could adversely affect our business.
We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision.
We are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision, primarily through the Bank and certain
non-bank subsidiaries. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors' funds, federal deposit
insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect our lending practices,
capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Congress and federal
regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to
statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes,
regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to
additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the ability of
non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws,
regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation
damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such
violations will not occur. For further information, see “Item 1. Business - REGULATION” on page 29 of this Form
10-K.
41
We rely heavily on the proper functioning of our technology.
We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure, interruption or
breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management,
general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit
the effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that
any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately
addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security breaches of our information systems could
damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose
us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on third-party service providers for much of our communications, information, operating and financial control
systems technology. If any of our third-party service providers experience financial, operational or technological
difficulties, or if there is any other disruption in our relationships with them, we may be required to locate alternative
sources of such services, and we cannot assure that we could negotiate terms that are as favorable to us, or could obtain
services with similar functionality, as found in our existing systems, without the need to expend substantial resources, if at
all. Any of these circumstances could have an adverse effect on our business.
Terrorist activities could cause reductions in investor confidence and substantial volatility in real estate and
securities markets.
It is impossible to predict the extent to which terrorist activities may occur in the United States or other regions, or
their effect on a particular security issue. It is also uncertain what effects any past or future terrorist activities and/or
any consequent actions on the part of the United States government and others will have on the United States and
world financial markets, local, regional and national economics, and real estate markets across the United States.
Among other things, reduced investor confidence could result in substantial volatility in securities markets, a decline
in general economic conditions and real estate related investments and an increase in loan defaults. Such unexpected
losses and events could materially affect our results of operations.
We rely on dividends from subsidiaries for most of our revenue.
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc is a separate and distinct legal entity from its subsidiaries. We receive
substantially all of our revenue from dividends from our subsidiaries. These dividends are the principal source of
funds to pay dividends on our common stock and interest and principal on our debt. Various federal and/or state
laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay us. Also, our right to participate in a
distribution of assets upon a subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of the
subsidiary's creditors. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to service our debt,
pay obligations or pay dividends on our common stock. The inability to receive dividends from the Bank could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to
accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and, as a result, investors and depositors could lose
confidence in our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our business, the trading price of our stock and
our ability to attract additional deposits.
In connection with the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the implementation of the rules and
regulations promulgated by the SEC, we document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting in order
to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This requires us to prepare an annual
management report on our internal control over financial reporting, including among other matters, management’s
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and an attestation report by our
independent auditors addressing these assessments. If we fail to identify and correct any significant deficiencies in
the design or operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting or fail to prevent fraud, current
and potential shareholders and depositors could lose confidence in our internal controls and financial reporting,
42
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, the trading price of our
stock and our ability to attract additional deposits.
Changes in accounting standards may affect our performance.
Our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of
operations. From time to time there are changes in the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the
preparation of our financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially impact how we
report and record our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new
or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements.
Earthquakes and other natural disasters in our primary market area may result in material losses because of
damage to collateral properties and borrowers' inability to repay loans.
Since our geographic concentration is in Southern California, we are subject to earthquakes and other natural
disasters. A major earthquake or other natural disaster may disrupt our business operations for an indefinite period
of time and could result in material losses to our operations, although we have not experienced any losses in the past
five years as a result of earthquake damage or other natural disaster to collateral securing loans. In addition to
possibly sustaining damage to our own property, a substantial number of our borrowers would likely incur property
damage to the collateral securing their loans. Although we are in an earthquake prone area, we and other lenders in
the market area may not require earthquake insurance as a condition of making a loan. Additionally, if the
collateralized properties are only damaged and not destroyed to the point of total insurable loss, borrowers may
suffer sustained job interruption or job loss, which may materially impair their ability to meet the terms of their loan
obligations.

(2), San Diego, Torrance and Vista, California. All of these offices are leased, except one in Riverside. The leases
expire from 2006 to 2010.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits involving the Bank, such as claims to enforce liens,
condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Bank holds security interests, claims involving the making
and servicing of real property loans and other issues in the ordinary course of and incident to the Bank’s business.
The Bank is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or operations of the Bank.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
General
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B., is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and as such, comprises substantially all of the activity for Provident
Financial Holdings, Inc.
Certain matters in this Form 10-K 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 credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies
and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Corporation’s ability to
access cost-effective funding, the general business environment, the direction of future interest rates and the
Corporation’s ability to successfully manage the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, the California
real estate market, competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial services providers, regulatory
changes, labor market competitiveness, and other risks detailed in the Corporation’s reports filed with the SEC.
45
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the
Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting for the allowance for loan losses involves significant 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 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 valuation 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 techniques is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less
than the estimates. For further details, see “Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2006
and 2005 - Provision for Loan Losses” on page 50 of this Form 10-K.
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 where management has determined that collection is not reasonably
assured. A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are
brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.
SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities,” requires that derivatives
of the Corporation be recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Management considers this
accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. The Bank’s derivatives are primarily the result of its mortgage
banking activities in the form of commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans and option contracts to
mitigate the risk of the commitments. Estimates of the percentage of commitments to extend credit on loans to be
held for sale that may not fund are based upon historical data and current market trends. The fair value adjustments
of the derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations with offsets to other assets or other
liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition. During 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 delays the recognition of servicing released premiums until the underlying loans
are funded and sold.
Executive Summary and Operating Strategy
Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. established in 1956 is a financial services company committed to serving consumers
and small to mid-sized businesses in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Bank conducts its
business operations as Provident Bank, Provident Bank Mortgage and through its subsidiary, Provident Financial
46
Corp. The business activities of the Corporation, primarily through the Bank and its subsidiary, consist of
community banking, mortgage banking, and to a lessor degree, investment services and real estate operations.
Community banking operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities
surrounding its full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-family, commercial real estate,
construction, commercial business, consumer and other loans. Additionally, certain fees are collected from
depositors for services provided to them such as non-sufficient fund fees, deposit account service charges, ATM
fees, IRA/KEOGH fees, safe deposit box fees, travelers check fees, and wire transfer fees, among others. The
primary source of income in community banking is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest
income produced by loans and investment securities, and the interest expense produced by interest-bearing deposits
and borrowed funds. During the next three years the Corporation intends to increase the community banking
business by growing total assets; restructure the balance sheet by decreasing the percentage of investment securities
to total assets and increasing the percentage of loans held for investment to total assets; decrease the concentration
of single-family mortgage loans within its loans held for investment; and increase the concentration of multi-family,
commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans. In addition, over time, the Corporation also
intends to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of checking and
savings accounts. This strategy is intended to improve core revenue through a higher net interest margin and
ultimately, coupled with the growth of the Corporation, an increase in net interest income.
Mortgage banking operations primarily consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured by single-
family residences. The primary sources of income in mortgage banking are gain on sale of loans and certain fees
collected from borrowers in connection with the loan origination process. During the next three years the
Corporation intends to concentrate on high margin mortgage banking products such as alt-A fixed rate, alt-A
adjustable rate and second trust deed loans. By doing so, the Corporation believes that it can maintain its gain on
sale margin at approximately the same levels experienced during the prior year.
Investment services primarily consist of selling alternative investment products such as annuities and mutual funds
to our depositors. Real estate operations primarily consist of deriving net rental income from tenants that occupy the
Corporation’s real estate held for investment. In the foreseeable future, real estate operations will not contribute
meaningful revenue as a result of the sale of the commercial office building in November 2005. Each of these
businesses generates a relatively small portion of the Corporation’s net income.
There are a number of risks associated with the business activities of the Corporation, many of which are beyond the
Corporation’s control, including: changes in accounting principles and changes in regulation, among others. The
Corporation attempts to mitigate many of these risks through prudent banking practices such as interest rate risk
management, credit risk management, operational risk management, and liquidity management. The current
economic environment presents heightened risk for the Corporation primarily with respect to rising short-term
interest rates and an increased concern that rising real estate values are unsustainable. Rising short-term interest
rates have led to a flatter yield curve placing pressure on the Corporation’s net interest margin since the
Corporation’s assets are generally priced at the intermediate or long end of the yield curve and interest-bearing
liabilities are generally priced at the short end of the yield curve. Rising real estate values may prove unsustainable
which may lead to higher loan losses since the majority of the Corporation’s loans are secured by real estate located
within California. Significant declines in California real estate may inhibit the Corporation’s ability to recover on
defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate.
Commitments and Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation conducts a portion of its operations in leased facilities under non-cancelable agreements classified
as operating leases (see Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form
10-K for a schedule of minimum rental payments and lease expenses under such operating leases). For information
regarding the Corporation’s commitments and derivative financial instruments, see Note 15 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

The expected obligations for time deposits and FHLB – San Francisco advances include anticipated interest accruals
based on respective contractual terms.
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, forward loan sale agreements to third
parties and commitments to purchase investment securities. 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 included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of
non-performance by the other 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. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, these commitments were $86.8 million and $97.3
million, respectively.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005
Total assets decreased $9.6 million, or 1%, to $1.62 billion at June 30, 2006 from $1.63 billion at June 30, 2005
primarily as a result of decreases in cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, receivable from sale of loans
and real estate held for investment, partly offset by an increase in loans held for investment.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $9.5 million, or 37%, to $16.4 million at June 30, 2006 from $25.9 million at
June 30, 2005 and was attributable to lower balance requirements at the Corporation’s correspondent bank and lower
federal funds sold. The balance of federal funds sold varies depending on loan sale settlements and/or unfunded
loans late in the day, which cannot be accounted for prior to borrowing deadlines.
Total investment securities decreased $55.2 million, or 24%, to $177.2 million at June 30, 2006 from $232.4 million
at June 30, 2005. During fiscal 2006, a total of $4.2 million of investment securities matured and $49.5 million of
the reduction was the result of mortgage-backed securities principal payments. The principal reduction of mortgage-
backed securities was primarily attributable to mortgage prepayments and the normal principal payments of the
underlying mortgage loans. During fiscal 2006, no investment securities were called or purchased.
Loans held for investment increased $131.1 million, or 12%, to $1.26 billion at June 30, 2006 from $1.13 billion at
June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of originating and purchasing $624.5 million of loans held for investment, which
was partly offset by $476.2 million of loan prepayments. These prepayments were attributable to the continued high
volume of refinance activity during fiscal 2006 in connection with increasing short-term interest rates and a
relatively low long-term mortgage interest rate environment.
During fiscal 2006, the Bank originated approximately $1.75 billion in new loans, primarily through PBM, and
purchased $111.7 million in loans from other financial institutions. A total of $1.26 billion of loans were sold
during fiscal 2006. The PBM loan production is sold primarily servicing released, except those loans sold to FHLB
48
– San Francisco under the MPF program. The total loan origination volume was achieved as a result of relatively
favorable real estate market conditions and relatively favorable long-term mortgage interest rates, despite higher
short-term interest rates and a more competitive environment. The outstanding balance of loans held for sale
decreased to $4.7 million at June 30, 2006 from $5.7 million at June 30, 2005. The outstanding balance of loans
held for sale is largely dependent on the timing of loan fundings and loan sales.
The receivable from sale of loans decreased $67.9 million, or 40%, to $99.9 million at June 30, 2006 from $167.8
million at June 30, 2005, resulting from the timing difference between loan sales and loan sale settlements.
Real estate held for investment decreased $9.2 million, or 93%, to $653,000 at June 30, 2006 from $9.9 million at
June 30, 2005, resulting from the sale of the commercial building in November 2005. The remaining real estate held
for investment is approximately six acres of land located in Riverside, California, which was committed for sale in
March and settled in July 2006.
Total liabilities decreased $22.8 million, or 2%, to $1.49 billion at June 30, 2006 from $1.51 billion at June 30, 2005
as a result of decreases in customer deposits and borrowings. Total deposits decreased $1.0 million to $917.6
million at June 30, 2006 from $918.6 million at June 30, 2005. Although the Bank continued its emphasis on
expanding customer relationships, particularly in transaction accounts, increases in short-term interest rates during
fiscal 2006 became a catalyst for depositors to move their funds from savings accounts to time deposits to take
advantage of higher yields. Transaction accounts decreased $93.2 million, or 19%, to $391.1 million at June 30,
2006 from $484.3 million, primarily in savings and money market accounts. Time deposits increased $92.2 million,
or 21%, to $526.5 million at June 30, 2006 from $434.3 million at June 30, 2005.
Borrowings, comprised primarily of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased $14.6 million, or 3%, to $546.2
million at June 30, 2006 from $560.8 million at June 30, 2005. FHLB – San Francisco advances were primarily
used to supplement the funding needs of the Bank, to the extent that a decrease in deposits and a decrease in
investment securities did not meet loan funding requirements.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $13.2 million, or 11%, to $136.2 million at June 30, 2006 from $123.0 million
at June 30, 2005. The increase in stockholders’ equity during fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to earnings in
fiscal 2006, allocation of contributions to ESOP, the exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits, partly
offset by share repurchases and cash dividends to shareholders. During fiscal 2006, a total of 403,632 shares of
stock options were exercised with an average strike price of $7.27 and the associated tax benefit from non-qualified
equity compensation of $2.6 million was recognized. The Corporation repurchased 368,605 shares of common
stock, or approximately 5% of its outstanding shares, at an average price of $28.43 per share, totaling $10.5 million
during fiscal 2006. During fiscal 2006, the Corporation declared and distributed cash dividends to its shareholders
of $4.1 million, or $0.58 per share. The Corporation’s book value per share increased to $19.48 at June 30, 2006
from $17.68 at June 30, 2005.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
General. The Corporation had net income of $20.5 million, or $2.98 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30,
2006, as compared to $18.7 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2005. The $1.8 million
increase in net income in fiscal 2006 was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income and non-interest
income, partly offset by an increase in non-interest expense.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.6 million, or 3.8%, to $44.1
million in fiscal 2006 from $42.5 million in fiscal 2005. This increase resulted principally from an increase in
average earning assets, partly offset by a decrease in net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets
increased $96.0 million, or 6.7%, to $1.53 billion in fiscal 2006 from $1.44 billion in fiscal 2005. The average net
interest margin declined nine basis points to 2.87% in fiscal 2006 from 2.96% in fiscal 2005.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $11.1 million, or 14.7%, to $86.6 million in fiscal 2006 from $75.5
million in fiscal 2005. The increase in interest income was primarily a result of increases in the average balance and
the average yield of earning assets. The increase in average assets was primarily attributable to the increase in loans
49
receivable, which was partly offset by the decrease in investment securities. Total originations of loans held for
investment, including loan purchases, were $624.5 million, while total loan prepayments were $476.2 million in
fiscal 2006. The increase in the average yield on earning assets was the result of increases in the average yield of
loans receivable, investment securities, FHLB – San Francisco stock and federal funds investment during fiscal
2006. Average yield on loans receivable increased 30 basis points to 6.04% in fiscal 2006 from 5.74% in fiscal
2005. The increase in the average loan yield was primarily the result of higher mortgage interest rates during fiscal
2006 and the mix of loans held for investment. The average yield on investment securities increased 14 basis points
to 3.36% in fiscal 2006 from 3.22% in fiscal 2005. The increase in the average yield of investment securities was
primarily attributable to lower amortization of premiums resulting from lower MBS principal prepayments. The
average yield on FHLB – San Francisco stock increased 37 basis points to 4.78% in fiscal 2006 from 4.41% in fiscal
2005. The increase in the average yield of FHLB – San Francisco stock was the result of the higher dividend
received from the FHLB – San Francisco.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $9.6 million, or 29.1%, to $42.6 million in fiscal 2006 from $33.0
million in fiscal 2005. The increase in interest expense was attributable to the increases in the average cost and
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 55 basis
points to 3.00% in fiscal 2006 from 2.45% in fiscal 2005. The average cost of deposits increased 60 basis points to
2.37% in fiscal 2006 from 1.77% in fiscal 2005. The increase in the average cost of deposits was the result of the
increase in short-term interest rates during fiscal 2006, maturities of lower costing time deposits and the change in
the deposit mix toward higher costing time deposits. The average balance of deposits increased $20.5 million, or
2.2%, to $932.6 million in fiscal 2006 from $912.1 million in fiscal 2005. The average cost of borrowings,
primarily FHLB – San Francisco advances, increased 32 basis points to 4.22% in fiscal 2006 from 3.90% in fiscal
2005. The increase in FHLB – San Francisco advances was primarily attributable to increases in interest rates
during fiscal 2006. The average maturity of FHLB – San Francisco advances decreased to 30 months at June 30,
2006 from 36 months at June 30, 2005. The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco advances increased $54.1
million, or 12.5%, to $485.5 million in fiscal 2006 from $431.4 million in fiscal 2005.
Provision for Loan Losses. Loan loss provisions in fiscal 2006 were $1.1 million as compared to $1.6 million in
fiscal 2005. The decrease in fiscal 2006 was primarily a result of lower growth of loans held for investment and a
revision in the methodology used to calculate the allowance for loan losses. The decrease was partly offset by a
higher mix of preferred loans (which includes multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial
business loans), which generally have higher loan loss provisions. The loans held for investment increased $131.1
million (from $1.13 billion to $1.26 billion) in fiscal 2006 as compared to $269.4 million (from $862.5 million to
$1.13 billion) in fiscal 2005. Preferred loans as a percentage of loans held for investment increased to 34% at June
30, 2006 from 28% at June 30, 2005.
Total classified assets (including assets designated as special mention) increased by $571,000 to $9.3 million at June
30, 2006 from $8.8 million at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses was $10.3 million, or 0.81% of gross
loans held for investment at June 30, 2006 as compared to $9.2 million, or 0.81% of gross loans held for investment
at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans at the end of fiscal 2006
was 407.7%, as compared to 1,561.9% at the end of fiscal 2005.
Consistent with its current operating strategy, the Corporation intends for the fastest growing segments of loans held
for investment to be commercial real estate, multi-family and construction loans. These loans generally have greater
risk than single-family mortgage loans. Management believes that the current provision for loan losses is prudent
based upon the loans held for investment composition, historic loss experience and current economic conditions. As
changes occur regarding the risk profile of the Corporation’s loans held for investment, management may increase
or decrease the provision for loan losses.
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $1.8 million, or 7.4%, to $26.2 million in fiscal 2006
from $24.4 million in fiscal 2005. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to the gain on sale
of real estate, an increase in loan servicing and other fees and an increase in deposit account fees, partly offset by
decreases in gain on sale of loans and gain on sale of investment securities.
In November 2005, the Corporation sold its commercial building in downtown Riverside, California for a pre-tax
gain of $6.3 million (approximately $3.6 million net of statutory taxes). The Corporation, through the Bank’s
50
wholly-owned subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp, has owned and operated the building since 1999 which was
purchased for investment purposes.
Loan servicing and other fees increased $897,000, or 53.6%, to $2.6 million in fiscal 2006 from $1.7 million in
fiscal 2005, resulting primarily from an increase in servicing fees and an increase in loan prepayment and other loan
fees. In fiscal 2006, the Corporation recovered an impairment reserve on servicing assets of $82,000 which was
previously established in fiscal 2005. Total loan prepayments in fiscal 2006 were $476.2 million as compared to
$482.9 million in fiscal 2005.
Deposit account fees increased $304,000, or 17.0%, to $2.1 million in fiscal 2006 from $1.8 million in fiscal 2005.
The increase in deposit account fees was primarily attributable to higher non-sufficient fund returned check fees.
Total gain on sale of loans decreased $5.2 million, or 27.8%, to $13.5 million in fiscal 2006 from $18.7 million in
fiscal 2005, and was the result of lower loan sale volume and a lower average loan sale margin at PBM. Total loans
originated for sale decreased $48.0 million, or 3.7%, to $1.24 billion in fiscal 2006 from $1.29 billion in fiscal 2005.
The decline in loan sale volume was primarily attributable to lower loan demand caused by an increase in interest
rates, rising real estate prices and a more competitive environment. The average loan sale margin for PBM in fiscal
2006 was 1.08%, down 31 basis points from 1.39% in fiscal 2005. The decrease in the loan sale margin was
primarily attributable to the more competitive mortgage banking environment. The loan sale margin at PBM is
derived from total gain on sale of loans divided by total loan sale volume. The PBM loan sale volume used to
calculate the loan sale margin, 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 $1.20 billion in fiscal 2006 as compared to $1.31
billion in fiscal 2005.
The net impact of derivative financial instruments (SFAS No. 133) in fiscal 2006 was a favorable adjustment of
$71,000 as compared to an unfavorable adjustment of $264,000 in fiscal 2005. The fair value of the derivative
financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2006 was a net liability of $233,000 in comparison to a net liability of
$91,000 at June 30, 2005. 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. These premiums will be realized in future periods when the underlying loans are funded and sold. The SFAS
No. 133 adjustment is relatively volatile and may have an adverse impact on future earnings.
The average profit margin for PBM in fiscal 2006 decreased to 41 basis points from 85 basis points in fiscal 2005.
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.
Gain on sale of investment securities was $384,000 in fiscal 2005, which was not replicated in fiscal 2006.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $399,000, or 1.2%, to $32.9 million in fiscal 2006 as
compared to $32.5 million in fiscal 2005. This increase was attributable primarily to increases in premises and
occupancy expenses and other operating expenses, partially offset by lower compensation expense. The increase in
premises and occupancy expense was primarily the result of the opening of two PBM loan production offices; and
the increase in other operating expenses was primarily attributable to a $500,000 charitable contribution to capitalize
the newly established Provident Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. The decrease in compensation costs was
primarily attributable to a 10 percent workforce reduction at PBM completed in January 2006 and a seven percent
workforce reduction at PBM completed in February 2006.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $15.7 million for fiscal 2006, representing an effective tax rate
of 43.3%, as compared to $14.1 million in fiscal 2005, representing an effective tax rate of 42.9%. The Corporation
determined that the tax rate of 43.3% in fiscal 2006 meets its fiscal 2006 income tax obligations.
51
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
General. The Corporation had net income of $18.7 million, or $2.64 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30,
2005, as compared to $15.1 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2004. The increase in
net income in fiscal 2005 was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income and non-interest income,
partly offset by an increase in non-interest expense.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $6.3 million, or 17.4%, to
$42.5 million in fiscal 2005 from $36.2 million in fiscal 2004. This increase resulted principally from an increase in
average earning assets. The average balance of earning assets increased $219.6 million, or 18.0%, to $1.44 billion
in fiscal 2005 from $1.22 billion in fiscal 2004. The net interest margin declined slightly to an average of 2.96% in
fiscal 2005 from an average of 2.97% in fiscal 2004.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $13.3 million, or 21.4%, to $75.5 million in fiscal 2005 from $62.2
million in fiscal 2004. The increase in interest income was primarily a result of increases in the average balance and
the average yield of earning assets. The increase in average assets was primarily attributable to the increase in loans
receivable, which was partly offset by the decrease in investment securities. Total originations of loans held for
investment, including loan purchases, were $784.3 million, while total loan prepayments were $482.9 million in
fiscal 2005. The increase in the average yield of earning assets was the result of increases in the average yield of
investment securities, FHLB – San Francisco stock and federal funds investment during fiscal 2005, which was
partly offset by a decline in the average yield of loans receivable. Average yield on investment securities increased
33 basis points to 3.22% in fiscal 2005 from 2.89% in fiscal 2004. The increase in the average yield of investment
securities was primarily attributable to lower amortization of premiums resulting from lower MBS principal
prepayments. The increase in the average yield of FHLB – San Francisco stock was a result of the higher dividend
received from FHLB – San Francisco. The average yield on loans receivable decreased seven basis points to 5.74%
in fiscal 2005 from 5.81% in fiscal 2004. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily a result of the impact
of the prepayment of higher yielding loans held for investment replaced with lower yielding loans.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $7.1 million, or 27.4%, to $33.0 million in fiscal 2005 from $25.9
million in fiscal 2004. The increase in interest expense was attributable to the increases in the average cost and
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 17 basis
points to 2.45% in fiscal 2005 from 2.28% in fiscal 2004. The average cost of deposits increased 14 basis points to
1.77% in fiscal 2005 from 1.63% in fiscal 2004. The increase in the average cost of deposits was the result of the
increase in short-term interest rates during fiscal 2005, maturities of lower costing time deposits and the change in
the deposit mix toward higher costing time deposits. The average balance of deposits increased $96.5 million, or
11.8%, to $912.1 million in fiscal 2005 from $815.6 million in fiscal 2004. The average cost of FHLB – San
Francisco advances remained unchanged at 3.90% in fiscal 2005 as compared to the average cost in fiscal 2004.
The increase in long-term interest rates for FHLB – San Francisco advances was offset by maturities of higher
costing advances and the utilization of lower costing overnight borrowings. The average maturity of FHLB – San
Francisco advances decreased to 36 months at June 30, 2005 from 45 months at June 30, 2004. The average balance
of FHLB – San Francisco advances increased $108.7 million, or 33.7%, to $431.4 million in fiscal 2005 from
$322.7 million in fiscal 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses. Loan loss provisions in fiscal 2005 were $1.6 million as compared to $819,000 in
fiscal 2004. The increase in fiscal 2005 was primarily a result of the growth of loans held for investment in fiscal
2005. The loan growth in fiscal 2005 was $269.4 million as compared to $118.3 million in fiscal 2004. The
allowance for loan losses was $9.2 million, or 0.81% of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2005 as
compared to $7.6 million, or 0.88% of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of non-performing loans at the end of fiscal 2005 was 1,561.9%, as compared to 701.8% at
the end of fiscal 2004.
Consistent with its current operating strategy, the Corporation intends for the fastest growing segments of loans held
for investment to be commercial real estate, multi-family and construction loans. These loans generally have greater
risk than single-family mortgage loans. Management believes that the current provision for loan losses is prudent
based upon the loans held for investment composition, historic loss experience and current economic conditions. As
52
changes occur regarding the risk profile of the Corporation’s loans held for investment, management may increase
or decrease the provision for loan losses.
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $4.2 million, or 20.8%, to $24.4 million in fiscal 2005
from $20.2 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to increases in
gain on sale of loans and gain on sale of investment securities, partly offset by a decrease in loan servicing and other
fees.
Total gain on sale of loans increased $4.4 million, or 30.8%, to $18.7 million in fiscal 2005 from $14.3 million in
fiscal 2004, and was the result of higher loan sale volume and a higher average loan sale margin at PBM. Total
loans originated for sale increased $174.4 million, or 15.7%, to $1.29 billion in fiscal 2005 from $1.11 billion in
fiscal 2004. The average loan sale margin for PBM in fiscal 2005 was 1.39%, up three basis points from 1.36% in
fiscal 2004. The loan sale margin at PBM is derived from total gain on sale of loans divided by total loan sale
volume. The PBM loan sale volume used to calculate the loan sale margin, 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 $1.31
billion in fiscal 2005 as compared to $1.05 billion in fiscal 2004. The increase in the average loan sale margin was
primarily attributable to the improvement in the product mix of the loan sales with a higher percentage of high
margin products. The high margin products consist primarily of second trust deeds, Alt-A adjustable rate and Alt-A
fixed rate first trust deed mortgage loans. In fiscal 2005, the high margin products comprised 70% of the PBM loan
sale volume as compared to 40% of the loan sale volume in fiscal 2004.
The net impact of derivative financial instruments (SFAS No. 133) in fiscal 2005 was an unfavorable adjustment of
$264,000 as compared to an unfavorable adjustment of $859,000 in fiscal 2004. The fair value of the derivative
financial instruments outstanding at June 30, 2005 was a net liability of $91,000 in comparison to a net liability of
$109,000 at June 30, 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. These premiums will be realized in future periods when the underlying loans are funded and sold. The SFAS
No. 133 adjustment is relatively volatile and may have an adverse impact on future earnings.
The average profit margin for PBM in fiscal 2005 remained unchanged at 85 basis points as compared to the same
period in fiscal 2004. 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.
Loan servicing and other fees decreased $617,000, or 26.9%, to $1.7 million in fiscal 2005 from $2.3 million in
fiscal 2004, resulting primarily from lower servicing fees, lower commercial loan fees, lower returned check fees
and lower late payment charges on loans. In fiscal 2005, the Corporation recorded an impairment reserve on
servicing assets of $82,000 as compared to no impairment reserve in fiscal 2004. The impairment reserve was
recorded primarily in response to accelerated prepayments of the underlying loans serviced for others, which
reduces the value of servicing assets.
Deposit account fees decreased $197,000, or 9.9%, to $1.8 million in fiscal 2005 from $2.0 million in fiscal 2004.
The decrease in deposit account fees was primarily attributable to lower non-sufficient fund returned check fees.
Gain on sale of investment securities was $384,000 in fiscal 2005, resulting from the sale of 6,000 shares of Freddie
Mac stock. Other non-interest income increased $186,000 to $1.5 million in fiscal 2005 from $1.3 million in fiscal
2004.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $3.7 million, or 12.8%, to $32.5 million in fiscal 2005
as compared to $28.8 million in fiscal 2004. This increase was attributable primarily to increases in compensation
expenses, premises and occupancy expenses, professional expenses and other operating expenses, partially offset by
lower equipment expense. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of the costs associated with
loan production in the mortgage banking division and commercial real estate department, the $320,000 expense
associated with the accelerated vesting of certain stock options, and Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance costs. Total
costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance were $632,000 in fiscal 2005, primarily attributable to the Sarbanes-
53
Oxley Act Section 404 attestation fees of $318,000 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 implementation fees of
$314,000 for external consultant services.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $14.1 million for fiscal 2005, representing an effective tax rate
of 42.9%, as compared to $11.7 million in fiscal 2004, representing an effective tax rate of 43.7%. The Corporation
determined that the tax rate of 42.9% in fiscal 2005 meets its fiscal 2005 income tax obligations.
Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Costs
The following table sets forth certain information for the periods regarding average balances of assets and liabilities
as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on
average interest-bearing liabilities and average yields and costs thereof.
Such yields and costs for the periods
indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of assets or liabilities,
respectively, for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Corporation’s primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from the sale of loans originated for sale, proceeds
from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the maturity of investment securities and FHLB – San
Francisco advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are a predictable
source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and loan sales are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan
growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities.
The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet short-term liquidity needs. At June 30, 2006,
total cash and cash equivalents were $16.4 million, or 1.0% of total assets. Depending on market conditions and the
pricing of deposit products and FHLB – San Francisco advances, the Bank may continue to rely on FHLB – San
Francisco advances for part of its liquidity needs.
Although the OTS eliminated the minimum liquidity requirement for savings institutions in April 2002, the regulation
still requires thrifts to maintain adequate liquidity to assure safe and sound operations. The Bank’s average liquidity
ratio (defined as the ratio of average qualifying liquid assets to average deposits and borrowings) for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 decreased to 5.1% from 7.8% during the same period ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily
a result of a smaller balance of unpledged investment securities eligible for liquidity.
The primary investing activity of the Bank is the origination of single-family, multi-family, commercial real estate,
construction, and commercial business loans. Most single-family loans originated by PBM were sold on a servicing
57
released basis. During the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Bank originated loans in the amounts of
$1.75 billion, $2.01 billion and $1.71 billion, respectively. In addition, the Bank purchased loans from other financial
institutions in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 in the amounts of $111.7 million, $61.2 million and $37.7 million,
respectively. Total loans sold in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $1.26 billion, $1.31 billion and $1.13 billion,
respectively. At June 30, 2006, the Bank had loan origination commitments totaling $86.8 million and undisbursed
loans in process totaling $84.0 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its
current loan origination commitments. On June 30, 2006, time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less
were $305.9 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its time deposits as they
mature. Management of the Bank believes it has adequate resources to fund all loan commitments with deposits and
FHLB – San Francisco advances, and that it can adjust deposit rates to retain deposits in changing interest rate
environments.
The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to OTS requirements. Under the OTS prompt
corrective action provisions, a minimum ratio of 1.5% for the Tangible Capital ratio is required to be deemed other than
“critically undercapitalized,” while a minimum of 5.0% for Tier 1 (Core) capital, 10.0% for Total Risk-Based Capital
and 6.0% for Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital is required to be deemed “well capitalized.” As of June 30, 2006, the Bank
exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Tangible Capital, Core Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital and Total
Risk-Based Capital ratios of 8.1%, 8.1%, 12.4% and 13.4%, respectively.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time as a
result of inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increasing cost of the Corporation’s operations. Unlike
most industrial companies, nearly all assets and liabilities of the Corporation are monetary. As a result, interest rates
have a greater impact on the Corporation’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. In addition,
interest rates do not necessarily move in the direction, or to the same extent, as the prices of goods and services.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
Various elements of the Corporation’s accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation
techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified several
accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to
an understanding of the financial statements of the Corporation. These policies relate to the methodology for the
recognition of interest income, determination of the provision and allowance for loan and lease losses and the valuation
of goodwill, mortgage servicing rights and real estate held for sale. These policies and the judgments, estimates and
assumptions are described in greater detail in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations section and in the section entitled “Recent accounting pronouncements” contained in Note 1 of
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and
assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate based on the factual circumstances at the
time. However, because of the sensitivity of the financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of
other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial
condition.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Bank does not maintain a trading account for any class of financial
instrument nor does it purchase high-risk derivative financial instruments. Furthermore, the Bank is not subject to
foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. For information regarding the sensitivity to interest rate
risk of the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, see “Maturity of Loans Held for Investment,”
“Investment Securities Activities,” “Time Deposits by Maturities” and “Interest Rate Risk” on page 4, 23, 28 and 59,
respectively, of this Form 10-K.
58
Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Bank’s principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability
while reducing its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Bank has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to
changes in interest rates by attempting to manage the repricing mismatch between interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities. The principal element in achieving this objective is to increase the interest-rate sensitivity of the
Bank’s interest-earning assets by retaining for its portfolio new loan originations with interest rates subject to periodic
adjustment to market conditions and by selling fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans.
In addition, the Bank
maintains an investment portfolio, which is largely in U.S. government sponsored enterprise debt securities and U.S.
government sponsored enterprise MBS with contractual maturities of up to 30 years that reprice frequently. The Bank
relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funds. Management believes retail deposits, compared to brokered
deposits, reduce the effects of interest rate fluctuations because they generally represent a more stable source of funds.
As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, the Bank promotes transaction accounts and time deposits with
terms up to five years. For additional information, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” on page 45 of this Form 10-K.
Interest Rate 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 Corporation, through
its ALCO, has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in interest rates by managing the repricing
mismatch between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The principal element in achieving this
objective is to manage the interest-rate sensitivity of the Corporation’s assets by retaining loans with interest rates
subject to periodic market adjustments. In addition, the Bank maintains a liquid investment portfolio comprised of
government sponsored enterprise debt securities and MBS. The Bank relies on retail deposits as its primary source of
funding while utilizing FHLB – San Francisco advances as a secondary source of funding which can be structured with
favorable interest rate risk characteristics. As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, the Bank promotes
transaction accounts.
Using data from the Bank’s quarterly report to the OTS, the OTS produces a report for the Bank that measures interest
rate risk by modeling the change in Net Portfolio Value (“NPV”) over a variety of interest rate scenarios. The interest
rate risk analysis received from the OTS is similar to the Bank’s own interest rate risk model. NPV is defined as 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 -200, -100,
+100, +200 and +300 basis points with no effect given to any steps that management might take to counter the effect of
the interest rate change.
59
The following table is provided by the OTS and sets forth as of June 30, 2006 the estimated changes in NPV based on
the indicated interest rate environments. The Bank’s balance sheet position as of June 30, 2006 can be summarized as
follows: if interest rates increase or decrease, the NPV of the Bank is expected to decrease, except under the –100 basis
point rate shock.

points, whichever produces the largest decline in NPV).

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis
presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
repricing characteristics, they may react in different degrees to changes in interest rates. Also, the interest rates on
certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in interest rates, while interest rates on other
types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM loans,
have features which restrict changes on a short-term basis and over the life of the loan. Further, in the event of a change
in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals of time deposits could likely deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the respective table. It is also possible that, as a result of an interest rate
increase, the increased mortgage payments required of ARM borrowers could result in an increase in delinquencies and
defaults. Changes in interest rates could also affect the volume and profitability of the Bank’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.
60
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 or minus 100 and 200 basis points.
The following table describes the results of the analysis for June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Bank is slightly asset sensitive. Therefore, the results project an increase in
net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period at either a +200 basis points, +100 basis point or a –100 basis
point scenario. The results also project a minimal decline in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period at
the –200 basis point scenario. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, the Bank was liability sensitive. Therefore, in a
rising interest rate environment, the model projects 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, except in the –200 basis point scenario where net interest income is also projected to
decline.
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 previous disclosures, over time, within the context of the actual
performance of the treasury yield curve.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2006, the Corporation carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
Corporation’s Disclosure Committee, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
and with the participation of the Internal Audit Department, conducted surveys and interviews with a selected group of
management comprised of the critical operational personnel, on the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on the results of the surveys and interviews, the Disclosure Committee completed a report to the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and a recommendation to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer. The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the evaluation date.
61
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, no change occurred in the Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over
financial reporting.
The Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting follows:
The management of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Corporation”) is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation’s internal control over
financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
To comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, the Corporation designed and
implemented a structured and comprehensive assessment process to evaluate its internal control over financial reporting
across the enterprise. The assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting
was based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human
error and the circumvention of overriding controls, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only
reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on its assessment, management has
concluded that the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2006.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, has been
audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the
Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s attestation report on management's
assessment of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting follows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Riverside, California
We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting, that Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Corporation") maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. The Corporation's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining
62
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by
the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or
improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial
reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management's assessment that the Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of June 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Also in our opinion, the Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006 of the Corporation and our
report dated September 11, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Riverside, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Provident Financial Holdings,
Inc. and subsidiary (the "Corporation") as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2006, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2006, based on
the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 11, 2006 expressed an unqualified
opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial
reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial
reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally
chartered stock bank effective June 27, 1996. Provident Financial Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized
by the Bank, acquired all of the capital stock of the Bank issued in the conversion; the transaction was recorded on a
book value basis.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc., and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (collectively, the “Corporation”). All inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
The Corporation operates in two business segments: community banking (Provident Bank) and mortgage banking
(Provident Bank Mortgage (“PBM”), a division of Provident Bank). Provident Bank activities include attracting
deposits, offering banking services and originating multi-family, commercial real estate, construction, commercial
business and consumer loans. Deposits are collected primarily from 12 banking locations located in Riverside and
San Bernardino counties in California. PBM activities include originating single-family loans (one-to-four units) and
consumer loans (second mortgages and equity lines of credit) for sale to investors and for investment. Loans are
primarily originated in Southern California by loan agents employed by the Bank, as well as from the banking
locations and freestanding lending offices. PBM originates loans from 12 freestanding lending offices in Southern
California, as well as from the banking locations.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and to prevailing practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant
change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax
assets, loan servicing assets and derivative financial instruments.
The following accounting policies, together with those disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements,
represent the significant accounting policies of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and the Bank.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior year financial data have been made to conform to the current reporting practices of
the Corporation.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and due from banks, as well as overnight deposits placed at
correspondent banks.
Investment securities
The Corporation classifies its qualifying investments as available for sale or held to maturity. The Corporation’s
policy of classifying investments as held to maturity is based upon its ability and management’s positive intent to
hold such securities to maturity. Securities expected to be held to maturity are carried at amortized historical cost.
All other securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined based
upon quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale are included in
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. Gains and losses on dispositions of investment securities are
75
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in non-interest income and are determined using the specific identification method. Purchase premiums and
discounts are amortized over the expected average life of the securities using the effective interest method. Declines
in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their amortized historical cost that are
deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.
Loans
Loans held for investment consist primarily of long-term loans secured by first trust deeds on single-family
residences, other residential property, commercial property and land. The single-family adjustable-rate mortgage
(“ARM”) is the Corporation’s primary loan investment. In addition to the single-family ARMs, multi-family,
commercial real estate, construction, commercial business and consumer loans are becoming a substantial part of
loans held for investment. These loans are generally offered to customers and businesses located in Southern
California, primarily in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, commonly known as the Inland Empire, and to a
lesser extent in Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego and other counties. A deterioration in the economic conditions of
these markets could adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and profitability. Such
deterioration could give rise to increased loan delinquencies, an increase in problem assets and foreclosures,
decreased loan demand and a decline in real estate values.
Loan origination fees and certain direct origination expenses are deferred and amortized to interest income on loans
over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. The amortization is discontinued for non-
performing loans. Interest receivable represents, for the most part, the current month’s interest, which will be
included as a part of the borrower’s next monthly loan payment. Interest receivable is accrued only if deemed
collectible. Loans generally are deemed to be in non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due. When a
loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accrued but not received is reversed against income. Income on non-
accrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loans’ principal balance is
deemed collectible. Non-accrual loans that become current as to both principal and interest are returned to accrual
status.
Receivable from sale of loans
Receivable from sale of loans represents expected settlement proceeds from the sale of loans, which have closed but
have not settled. The duration of the loan sale settlement generally ranges from three to 30 days.
PBM (Provident Bank Mortgage) activities
Loans are originated for both investment and sale in the secondary market. Since the Corporation is primarily an
adjustable-rate mortgage and consumer lender for its own portfolio, most fixed-rate loans are originated for sale to
institutional investors.
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is generally determined by outstanding
commitments from investors or investors’ current yield requirements as calculated on the aggregate loan basis.
Loans are generally sold without recourse, other than standard representations and warranties, except those loans
sold to the FHLB – San Francisco under the Mortgage Partnership Finance (“MPF”) program and to Freddie Mac
under a commitment which has a recourse provision. Most loans are sold on a servicing released basis. In some
transactions, primarily loans sold under the MPF program, the Corporation may retain the servicing rights in order to
generate servicing income. Where the Corporation continues to service loans after sale, investors are paid their share
of the principal collections together with interest at an agreed-upon rate, which generally differs from the loan’s
contractual interest rate.
Loans sold to Freddie Mac under the recourse commitment require the Bank to be responsible for all losses on these
loans. As of June 30, 2006, there were no loans outstanding under this commitment as compared to one loan with an
76
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
outstanding balance of $167,000 at June 30, 2005. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank has established a
recourse liability of $0 and $1,000, respectively, for potential losses on these loans. No losses have been
experienced in this program.
Loans sold to the FHLB – San Francisco under the MPF program also have a recourse liability. The FHLB – San
Francisco absorbs the first four basis points of loss and a credit scoring process is used to calculate the maximum
recourse amount for the Bank. All losses above this amount are the responsibility of the FHLB – San Francisco. In
consideration of the obligation of the Bank to accept the recourse liability, the FHLB – San Francisco pays the Bank
a credit enhancement fee on a monthly basis. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank has $201.6 million outstanding under
this program and has established a recourse liability of $222,000 as compared to $227.0 million outstanding under
this program and a recourse liability of $260,000 at June 30, 2005. To date, no losses have been experienced in this
program.
Occasionally, the Bank is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHLB – San Francisco or
other institutional investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or
if one of the parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 90-
days past due within 120 days of the loan funding date. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the Bank repurchased
$2.0 million of single-family mortgage loans as compared to $962,000 in fiscal 2005 and $79,000 in fiscal 2004.
Activity in the recourse liability for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

The Bank is obligated to refund loan sale premiums to investors when loans pay off within a specific time period
following the loan sale; the time period ranges from three to six months, depending upon the sale agreement. Total
loan sale premium refunds in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $648,000, $1.2 million and $652,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Bank has accrued $144,000 and $236,000, respectively, for future loan sale
premium refunds.
Gains or losses on the sale of loans, including fees received or paid, are recognized at the time of sale and are
determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated book value of the loans sold. When
loans are sold with servicing retained, the carrying value of the loans is allocated between the portion sold and the
portion retained (i.e., servicing assets and interest-only strips), based on estimates of their relative fair values.
Servicing assets are amortized in proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing income and are
carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of servicing assets is determined based on the present value
of estimated net future cash flows related to contractually specified servicing fees. The Corporation periodically
evaluates servicing assets for impairment, which is measured as the excess of cost over fair value. This review is
performed on a disaggregated basis, based on loan type and interest rate. In estimating fair values at June 30, 2006
and 2005, the Corporation used a Constant Prepayment Rate (“CPR”) of 5.19% and 10.37%, respectively, and a
weighted-average discount rate of 9.01% and 9.01%, respectively. Servicing assets, which are included in Other
Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, had a carrying value of $1.4 million
and a fair value of $2.2 million at June 30, 2006. There were no impairment allowances required for the servicing
asset at of June 30, 2006. Servicing assets at June 30, 2005 had a carrying value of $1.7 million and a fair value of
$2.0 million. An $82,000 valuation allowance for impairment of servicing assets was outstanding as of June 30,
2005.
77
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Rights to future income from serviced loans that exceed contractually specified servicing fees are recorded as
interest-only strips. Interest-only strips are carried at fair value, utilizing the same assumptions as used to value the
related servicing assets, with any unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). Interest-only strips are included in Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition and had a fair value of $584,000, gross unrealized gains of $259,000 and an
unamortized cost of $325,000 at June 30, 2006. Interest-only strips at June 30, 2005 had a fair value of $526,000,
gross unrealized gains of $145,000 and an unamortized cost of $381,000. Total additions of loan servicing assets
during fiscal years ended June 2006 and 2005 were $143,000 and $597,000, respectively; while total amortization of
the loan servicing assets were $473,000 and $510,000, respectively.
During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation sold 26% and 29%, respectively, of its loans
originated for sale to a single primary investor. If the Corporation is unable to sell loans to the primary investor,
management believes the availability of other qualified investors would mitigate any significant risk to the
Corporation’s operations.
Allowance for loan losses
It is the policy of the Corporation to provide an allowance for loan losses inherent in the loans held for investment as
of the balance sheet date when any significant and permanent decline in the borrower’s ability to pay has occurred.
Periodic reviews are made in an attempt to identify potential problems at an early stage. Individual loans are
periodically reviewed and are classified according to their inherent risk. The internal asset review policy used by the
Corporation is the primary basis by which the Corporation evaluates the probable loss exposure. Management’s
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on an evaluation of the loans held for
investment, past experience, prevailing market conditions, and other relevant factors. The determination of the
allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to changes in the economic
environment and market conditions. The allowance is increased by the provision for losses charged against income
and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Impaired loans
The Corporation assesses loans individually and identifies impairment when the accrual of interest has been
discontinued, loans have been restructured or management has serious doubts about the future collectibility of
principal and interest, even though the loans are currently performing. Factors considered in determining impairment
include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, the financial condition of the borrower and current
economic conditions. The Corporation measures each impaired loan based on the fair value of its collateral and
charges off those loans or portions of loans deemed uncollectible.
Real estate
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at the lesser of the loan balance at the time of
foreclosure or the fair value of the real estate acquired, less estimated selling costs. All real estate is carried at the
lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. Real estate loss provisions are recorded when the carrying
value of the property exceeds the fair value. Costs relating to improvement of the property are capitalized. Other
costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Corporation reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or when events or circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired when the expected
78
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life are less than the net book value. When impairment is
indicated for an asset, the amount of impairment loss is the excess of the net book value over its fair value.
Premises and equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is
computed primarily on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings …………………………………. 10 to 40 years
Furniture and fixtures ……………………. 3 to 10 years
Automobiles ……………………………… 3 years
Computer equipment …………………….. 3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease terms or the lives of the
improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Income taxes
Taxes are provided for on substantially all income and expense items included in earnings, regardless of the period in
which such items are recognized for tax purposes. Taxes on income are determined by using the liability method.
This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in the Corporation’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax
consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax law or rates are considered.
Cash dividend
Since July 24, 2002, the Corporation has distributed a quarterly cash dividend on the Corporation’s outstanding
shares of common stock. Future declarations or payments of dividends will be subject to the consideration of the
Corporation’s Board of Directors, which will take into account the Corporation’s financial condition, results of
operations, tax considerations, capital requirements, industry standards, economic conditions and other factors,
including the regulatory restrictions which affect the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation. Under
Delaware law, dividends may be paid either out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current
fiscal year and/or the preceding fiscal year in which the dividend is declared.
Stock repurchase
The Corporation continues to repurchase its common stock consistent with Board approved stock repurchase plans.
During fiscal 2006, the Corporation completed the June 2005 stock repurchase program and on May 23, 2006, the
Corporation announced a plan regarding the repurchase of 5% of its common stock or approximately 350,558 shares.
As of June 30, 2006, a total of 19,329 shares had been repurchased under the May 2006 stock repurchase program,
at an average cost of $28.32 per share, leaving 331,229 shares available for future repurchase activity. For fiscal
2006, the Corporation repurchased 367,169 shares at an average cost of $28.42 per share.
Earnings per common share (EPS)
Basic EPS represents net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period
excluding any potential dilutive effects. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potential issuance of common stock that
would have caused basic EPS to be lower as if the issuance had already occurred. Accordingly, diluted EPS reflects
an increase in the weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the assumed exercise of stock options and the
vesting of restricted stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Stock-based compensation
Prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, stock options were accounted for under Accounting Principles Board
(“APB”) Opinion No. 25 using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, no stock option expense was recorded in
periods prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, since the exercise price of the options issued has always been
equal to the market value at the date of grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R,
“Share-Based Payment,” requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of
stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and directors. Effective July 1, 2005, the
Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method under which the provisions of SFAS
No. 123R are applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after June 30, 2005 and to
awards outstanding on June 30, 2005 for which requisite service has not yet been rendered.
The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) resulted in incremental stock-based compensation expense during 2006 and is
solely related to issued and unvested stock option grants. The incremental stock-based compensation expense
caused income before income taxes to decrease by $394,000 and net income to decrease by $223,000 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006. The impact of this additional expense on basic and diluted earnings per share was a
reduction of $0.03 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $2.6
million and cash provided by financing activities increased by an identical amount for fiscal 2006 related to excess
tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements.
As required under SFAS No. 123(R), the reported net income and earnings per share for the fiscal years ended June
30, 2005 and 2004 have been presented below to reflect the impact had the Corporation been required to recognize
compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for stock options. The pro forma amounts are as follows:

ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)
The Corporation recognizes compensation expense when shares are committed to be released to employees in an
amount equal to the fair value of the shares so committed. The difference between the amount of compensation
expense and the cost of the shares released is recorded as additional paid-in capital. Cash dividends received on the
unallocated ESOP shares are applied as a prepayment to the ESOP loan and reduce the amount of unearned
compensation.
80
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
MRP (Management Recognition Plan)
The Corporation recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the shares awarded, equal to the fair
value of the shares at the date of the award.
Postretirement benefits
The estimated obligation for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits is determined based on an
actuarial computation of the cost of current and future benefits for the eligible (grandfathered) retirees and
employees as of June 30, 2006. The post retirement benefit liability is included in other liabilities in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Effective July 1, 2003, the Corporation discontinued the
postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to any employee not previously qualified (grandfathered) for
these benefits.
Comprehensive income
Accounting principles generally require that realized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.
Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities,
are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with income, are
components of comprehensive income.
The components of other comprehensive income and their related tax effects are as follows:

Recent accounting pronouncements
SFAS No. 156:
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for
Servicing of Financial Assets,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing
assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent
measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization
and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year
beginning after September 15, 2006. The Corporation intends to continue applying the amortization and impairment
requirements of Statement No. 140.
81
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SFAS No. 154:
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” that addresses
accounting for changes in accounting principle, changes in accounting estimates, changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, and error
corrections. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in
accounting principle and error correction unless impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 states an exception to
retrospective application when a change in accounting principle, or the method of applying it, may be inseparable
from the effect of a change in accounting estimate. When a change in principle is inseparable from a change in
estimate, such as depreciation, amortization or depletion, the change to the financial statements is to be presented in
a prospective manner. SFAS No. 154 and the required disclosures are effective for accounting changes and error
corrections in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 115-1:
In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP Nos. FAS 115-1 and 124-1 to address the determination as to when an
investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an
impairment loss. This FSP nullified certain requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force 03-1 “The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (EITF 03-1), and references existing
other than temporary impairment guidance. Furthermore, this FSP creates a three-step process in determining when
an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an
impairment loss. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
FSP Statement of Position (“SOP”) No. 94-6-1:
In December 2005, the FASB issued FSP SOP No. 94-6-1, “Terms of Loan Products That May Give Rise to a
Concentration of Credit Risk,” which addresses the circumstances under which the terms of loan products give rise to
such risk and the disclosures or other accounting considerations that apply for entities that originate, hold, guarantee,
service, or invest in loan products with terms that may give rise to a concentration of credit risk. The guidance under
this FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 19, 2005 and for loan products that are
determined to represent a concentration of credit risk, disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” should be provided for all periods presented.
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”):
In July 2006 the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which
supplements SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” by defining the confidence level that a tax position
must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation requires that the tax effects of a
position be recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of
the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a
company is entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not considered more-likely-than-
not to be sustained based solely on technical merits, no benefits of the position are to be recognized. Moreover, the
more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of
a benefit. The interpretation also requires enterprises to make explicit disclosures about uncertainties in their income
tax positions, including a detailed roll forward of tax benefits taken that do not qualify for financial statement
recognition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. It is not anticipated that
adoption will have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The gross realized gain on sale of investment securities based on identified securities during the years ended June 30,
2006, 2005 and 2004 was $0, $384,000 and $0, respectively. The tax expense on the sale of investment securities
for June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $0, $161,000, and $0, respectively. There were no realized losses during the
years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
During fiscal 2006, there were $4.2 million of investment securities that matured, $49.5 million of MBS principal
payments and no new purchases of investment securities. In fiscal 2005, there were $8.2 million of investment
securities that were called by issuers, $1.8 million of investment securities that matured, $58.1 million of MBS
principal payments and $49.0 million of new purchases of investment securities. During fiscal 2006, the decrease in
MBS principal payments was primarily attributable to the increase in interest rates during the period. As of June 30,
2006, MBS and CMO investments represented 59% of investment securities as compared to 67% at June 30, 2005.

adjustable rate MBS, three adjustable rate CMO and 28 fixed rate government sponsored enterprise debt obligations,
85
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
which have been in an unrealized loss position (ranging from a deminimus percentage to 5.7% of cost) for more than
12 months. Such unrealized holding losses are the result of an increase in market interest rates during fiscal 2006
and are not the result of credit or principal risk. Based on the nature of the investments and other considerations
discussed above, management concluded that such unrealized losses were not other than temporary as of June 30,
2006.

Fixed-rate loans comprised 2% and 3% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of
June 30, 2006, the Bank had $95.4 million in mortgage loans that are subject to negative amortization, compared to
$105.7 million at June 30, 2005. Negative amortization involves a greater risk to the Bank, because during a period
of high interest rates, the loan principal balance may increase by up to 115% of the original loan amount. Also, the
Bank has invested in interest-only ARM loans, which typically have a fixed interest rate for the first two to five years
coupled with an interest only payment, followed by a periodic adjustable interest rate and a fully amortizing loan
payment for the remaining term. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the interest-only ARM loans were $638.5 million
and $613.9 million, or 50.1% and 54.2% of loans held for investment, respectively.

Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors and processing foreclosures. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees from
investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees. The Corporation held borrowers’
escrow balances related to loans serviced for others of $559,000, $643,000 and $615,000 as of June 30, 2006, 2005
and 2004, respectively. These escrow balances are included in deposits in the accompanying Consolidated

The net deferred tax (assets) liabilities are included in Other Assets or Other Liabilities in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Retained earnings at June 30, 2006 included approximately $9.0 million for which federal income tax of $3.1 million
had not been provided. If the amounts that qualify as deductions for federal income tax purposes are later used for
purposes other than for bad debt losses, including distribution in liquidation, they will be subject to federal income
tax at the then-current corporate tax rate. If those amounts are not so used, they will not be subject to tax even in the
event the Bank were to convert its charter from a thrift to a bank.
10. Capital:
Federal regulations require that institutions with investments in subsidiaries conducting real estate investments and
joint venture activities maintain sufficient capital over the minimum regulatory requirements. The Bank maintains
capital in excess of the minimum requirements.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure
to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions
95
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the regulations) to Risk-
Weighted Assets (as defined), and of Core Capital (as defined) to Adjusted Tangible Assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
it is subject.
Various adjustments are required to be made to retained earnings and total assets for computing these capital ratios,
depending on an institution’s capital and asset structure. The adjustment presently applicable to the Bank is for
equity investments in real estate. In addition, in calculating risk-based capital, general loss allowances are included
as capital on a limited basis.
As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the
Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well
capitalized” the Bank must maintain minimum Total Risk-Based, Core Capital and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratios
as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Bank’s category.
The Bank may not declare or pay cash dividends on or repurchase any of its shares of common stock, if the effect
would cause stockholders’ equity to be reduced below applicable regulatory capital maintenance requirements or if
such declaration and payment would otherwise violate regulatory requirements. In fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Bank
declared and paid cash dividends of $6.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, to its parent.

The Corporation has a 401(k) defined-contribution plan covering all employees meeting specific age and service
requirements. Under the plan, employees may contribute to the plan from their pretax compensation up to the limits
set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Corporation makes matching contributions up to 3% of participants’ pretax
compensation. Participants vest immediately in their own contributions with 100% vesting in the Corporation’s
contributions occurring after six years of credited service. The Corporation’s expense for the plan was
approximately $411,000, $379,000 and $335,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Corporation has a multi-year employment agreement with one executive officer, which requires payments of
certain benefits upon retirement. The obligation was fully funded at June 30, 2006 and actuarially determined
retirement costs are being accrued and expensed annually.
ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)
An ESOP was established for all employees who are age 21 or older and have completed one year of service with the
Corporation during which they have served a minimum of 1,000 hours. The ESOP Trust borrowed $4.1 million
from the Corporation to purchase 922,538 shares of the common stock issued in the conversion. The loan is
principally repaid from the Corporation’s contributions to the ESOP over a period of 15 years. In addition to the
scheduled principal loan payments, the ESOP Trust has paid additional principal amounts, which came from cash
97
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
dividends received on the unallocated ESOP shares. The additional principal payment (loan prepayment) in fiscal
2006 and 2005 was $202,000 and $212,000, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the outstanding balance on
the loan was $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are held in an
unearned ESOP account and released on a pro rata basis based on the distribution schedule. Contributions to the
ESOP and shares released from the unearned ESOP account are allocated among participants on the basis of
compensation, as described in the plan, in the year of allocation. Benefits generally become 100% vested after six
years of credited service. Vesting accelerates upon retirement, death or disability of the participant or in the event of
a change in control of the Corporation. Forfeitures are reallocated among remaining participating employees in the
same proportion as contributions. Benefits are payable upon death, retirement, early retirement, disability or
separation from service. Since the annual contributions are discretionary, the benefits payable under the ESOP
cannot be estimated. The expense related to the ESOP was $1.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the years
ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the unearned ESOP account of
$644,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, was reported as a reduction to stockholders’ equity.
The table below reflects ESOP activity for the year indicated (in number of shares):

The fair value of unallocated ESOP shares was $8.7 million, $9.8 million and $9.7 million at June 30, 2006, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
12. Incentive Plans:
On June 30, 2006, the Corporation has three share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The
compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans was $324,000, $455,000 and $135,000 for
fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total income tax benefit recognized in the
consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangement was $2.6 million, $322,000 and
$349,000 for fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Stock Option Plans
The Corporation established the 1996 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Stock
Option Plans”) for key employees and eligible directors under which options to acquire up to 1.15 million shares and
352,500 shares of common stock, respectively, may be granted. Under the Stock Option Plans, options may not be
granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of grant. Options vest over a five-year period on a pro-
rata basis 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.
On April 28, 2005, the Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of certain unvested stock options, totaling 136,950
options, which were previously granted to directors, officers and key employees who had three or more continuous
years of service with the Corporation or an affiliate of the Corporation. The Board believes that it was in the best
interest of the shareholders to accelerate the vesting of these options which were granted prior to January 1, 2004,
98
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
since it will have a positive impact on the future earnings of the Corporation. This action was taken as a result of
SFAS No. 123R which the Corporation adopted on July 1, 2005.
As a result of accelerating the vesting of these options, the Corporation recorded a charge to compensation expense
of $320,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This charge represents a new measurement of compensation
cost for these options as of the modification date. The modification introduced the potential for an effective renewal
of the awards as some of these options may have been forfeited by the holders. This charge will require adjustment
in future periods for actual forfeiture experience. The Corporation estimates that the compensation expense related
to these options that would have been recognized over their remaining vesting periods pursuant to the transition
provisions of SFAS No. 123R is $1.7 million. Because these options are now fully vested, they are not subject to the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model
with the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from
historical common stock closing prices for the last 30 months. The expected dividend yield is based on the most
recent quarterly dividend on an annualized basis. The expected term is based on the historical experience of all fully
vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate of
a similar term as the stock option at the particular grant date.

In fiscal 2006, the total options (under both plans) granted, exercised and forfeited were 19,000 shares, 403,632
shares and 37,000 shares, respectively. In fiscal 2005, the total options (under both plans) granted, exercised and
forfeited were 68,000 shares, 74,775 shares and 43,450 shares, respectively. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, the
number of options available for future grants under the Stock Option Plans were 107,200 and 89,200 shares,
respectively.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and
2004 was $7.77, $7.22 and $6.19 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the
years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $8.3 million, $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2006, there was $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-
based compensation arrangements granted under the 1996 and 2003 Stock Option Plans. This expense is expected to
be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. The forfeiture rate during fiscal 2006 was 20%, which
was calculated based on the historical experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually.
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 $92,000, $135,000
and $135,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the value
of the unearned MRP account was $63,000 (included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition under
Additional paid-in capital, as per SFAS No. 123R) and $155,000, respectively, and reported as a reduction to
stockholders’ equity; and there were 9,588 MRP shares remaining to be distributed, all of which have been awarded.
A summary of the status of the Corporation’s non-vested MRP shares as of June 2006 and changes during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006 is presented below:

As of June 30, 2006, there was $62,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based
compensation arrangements granted under the MRP. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-
average period of 0.5 year. The forfeiture rate during fiscal 2006 was 0%, which was based on the full retention of
the remaining participants. The fair value of shares vested during the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
was $366,000, $362,000 and $283,000, respectively.
13. Earnings Per Share:
Basic 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. No shares have been excluded from
the diluted EPS computations.

15. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks:
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to
meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, in the
form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, and forward loan sale agreements to third
parties. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the accompanying 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. At
June 30, 2006 and 2005, interest rates on commitments to extend credit ranged from 5.88% to 10.00% and 1.00%
(teaser rate, generally for the first month only) to 12.13%, respectively.
102
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 June 30, 2006
and 2005 the aggregate amount of loans held for sale and of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for
sale exceeded the Corporation’s forward loan sale agreements. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, interest rates on forward
loan sale agreements ranged from 6.00% to 6.50% and 4.50% to 6.00%, respectively.
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 mitigates
the interest rate risk inherent in commitments to extend credit. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect 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, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities.” As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, total notional put option contracts were $9.0 million and $20.0
million, respectively; and the fair value was $53,000 and $50,000, respectively.
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 years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was a gain of $71,000, a loss of $264,000 and a
loss of $859,000, respectively.

which may not fund.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2004, the Corporation adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 excluded 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 the delay in the recognition of servicing released premiums, which are now recognized when
the underlying loans are funded and sold.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments:
The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on various factors. In some cases, fair values represent
quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments. In other cases, fair values have been estimated based
on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows, assumed discount rates and other
factors reflecting varying degrees of risk. The estimates are subjective in nature and, therefore, cannot be determined
with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Accordingly, the reported fair values
may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of year-end or that will
be realized in the future. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of
significant financial instrument:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these financial assets approximates the fair value.
Investment securities: The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
Loans held for investment: For loans that reprice frequently at market rates, the carrying amount approximates the
fair value. For fixed-rate loans, the fair value is determined by either (i) discounting the estimated future cash flows
of such loans over their estimated remaining contractual maturities using a current interest rate at which such loans
would be made to borrowers, or (ii) quoted market prices. The allowance for loan losses is subtracted as an estimate
of the underlying credit risk.
Loans held for sale: Fair values for loans are based on quoted market prices. Forward loan sale agreements have
been considered in the determination of the estimated fair value of loans held for sale.
Receivable from sale of loans: The carrying value for the receivable from sale of loans approximates fair value
because of the short-term nature of the financial instruments.
Accrued interest receivable/payable: The carrying value for accrued interest receivable/payable approximates fair
value because of the short-term nature of the financial instruments.
FHLB – San Francisco stock: The carrying amount reported for FHLB – San Francisco stock approximates fair
value. If redeemed, the Corporation will receive an amount equal to the par value of the stock.
Deposits: The fair value of the deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The discount rate on
such deposits is based upon rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings has been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The discount
rate on such borrowings is based upon rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
Commitments: Commitments to extend credit on existing obligations are discounted in a manner similar to loans held
for investment.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The fair value of the derivative financial instruments are based upon quoted market
prices, current market bids, outstanding forward loan sale commitments and estimates from independent pricing
sources.
