Dear Shareholders:
Wow, what a difference a year can make! I am pleased to for-
ward our Annual Report for fiscal 2011, which describes significant-
ly better financial results than those realized during the prior three
years. The operating environment for financial institutions is some-
what improved in comparison to the particularly weak environment
of the prior three years and we are well-positioned to take advan-
tage of opportunities as they arise. Credit quality continues to
improve and we have been capitalizing on favorable mortgage
banking conditions resulting in a record year in terms of loans orig-
inated for sale. The materially lower provision for loan losses in fis-
cal 2011 in comparison to fiscal 2010 and the noteworthy increase
in revenue from the gain on sale of loans led the way to our strong
results. We reported net income of $13.2 million, or $1.16 per dilut-
ed share, and a return on equity of 9.7%, which is a solid perfor-
mance in comparison to many of our peers.
Last year, when we were completing our fiscal 2011 Business
Plan, it was apparent that the stubbornly poor general economic
conditions would not necessarily be subsiding. As a result, our
Business Plan for the Bank once again focused on enhancing capi-
tal, slightly deleveraging the balance sheet, addressing asset quality
issues and maintaining the Bank’s “well-capitalized” regulatory cap-
ital designation. For Provident Bank Mortgage, the primary goal was
to capture significant loan origination volume consistent with our
forecast of a favorable mortgage banking environment and the
investment we made in expanding our origination capacity.
I am pleased to report that we succeeded in connection with all
of these initiatives. Specifically, stockholders’ equity increased dur-
ing fiscal 2011 by $14.0 million, primarily the result of our very good
financial results; total assets declined by 6%, approximately half the
rate of decline of the prior year; non-performing assets declined by
a notable 38%; and the Bank’s capital ratios improved dramatically
during the course of fiscal 2011 solidifying the “well-capitalized” reg-
ulatory capital designation.
Just as significant, in fiscal 2011, Provident Bank Mortgage orig-
inated over $2.1 billion of loans for sale, the best year in our 55 year
history in terms of loan origination volume. Additionally, our loan
sale margin expanded to 149 basis points from 77 basis points in fis-
cal 2010, primarily as the result of fewer competitors and the chang-
ing composition of loan originations with a larger percentage from
the retail channel.
Provident Bank
Our fiscal 2012 Business Plan marks a return to our organic
growth strategy although we are still mindful that the operating
environment will remain challenging with many headwinds. We are
investing in our preferred loan origination capabilities which we
believe will result in the growth of our multi-family and commercial
real estate loan portfolios. Retail deposit activity remains very
important to us and we are forecasting modest deposit growth
within our geographic footprint while we begin to explore new
branch sites as we return to our de-novo branching strategy in the
high growth communities of the Inland Empire. We also believe
opportunistic transactions may become available in the markets
we serve which we intend to explore as we continue to build our
banking franchise.
During the course of fiscal 2012, we will emphasize prudent
growth of loans held for investment, the growth of retail deposits
(primarily transaction accounts), diligent operating expense con-
trol and sound capital management decisions (demonstrated by
our recent announcement to increase the quarterly cash dividend
to our shareholders and to implement a stock repurchase plan). We
believe that successful execution of these strategies will deliver
superior financial results which our shareholders have come to
expect.
Provident Bank Mortgage
To date, fiscal 2012 mortgage banking fundamentals have
been favorable. Mortgage interest rates have remained at very low
levels (from a historical perspective) and competitors have been
slow to enter the market as a result of tighter regulatory require-
ments which we believe is providing us with a competitive advan-
tage. We are improving the percentage of retail originations in
comparison to wholesale originations and will continue to do so.
Increasing production from the retail channel is one of the best
strategies for improving mortgage banking profitability. We are
actively recruiting high producing originators from those non-reg-
ulated firms who are not as well-equipped to bear the potentially
higher capital requirements, heightened regulatory scrutiny and
more disciplined reporting requirements. Doing so will serve us
well in fiscal 2012 and beyond because we believe that these orig-
inators will deliver high quality retail production volume in a very
short period of time once they join our Company.
A Final Word
I began my message by suggesting that a year can make a
world of difference regarding the financial results of our Company.
Truth-be-told, we have endured one of the most trying economic
and banking cycles in the 55 year history of Provident and, for us, it
has lasted for approximately three years. Our successful emer-
gence from this awful cycle would not have occurred without the
diligent efforts of our employees, the exceptional loyalty of our cus-
tomers from the communities we serve, and the steadfast support
of our shareholders. To all of you, thank you for your continued sup-
port, patronage and patience. We recognize that our current and
future financial results are inextricably linked to each of you and we
will continue to do everything necessary at every opportunity to
earn your respect, your business and your loyalty.
Sincerely,
Craig G. Blunden

As used in this report, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Provident” refer to Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and
its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. When we refer to the “Bank” or “Provident
Savings Bank” in this report, we are referring to Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
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 of Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) upon the Bank’s
conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank (“Conversion”). The Conversion was completed
on June 27, 1996. At June 30, 2011, the Corporation had consolidated total assets of $1.3 billion, total deposits of
$945.8 million and stockholders’ equity of $141.7 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. Prior
to July 21, 2011, the Bank was regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). As a result of the enactment
on July 21, 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the
Bank is now regulated by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), its primary federal regulator, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the insurer of its deposits. The Bank’s deposits are federally
insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
(“FHLB”) – San Francisco since 1956.
Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act changed the regulator of all savings and loan holding companies, including the
Corporation, from the OTS to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).
For additional information regarding the Dodd-Frank Act, see “Regulation” on page 39 of this Form 10-K.
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”), a division of the Bank, and through its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp.
The business activities of the Bank consist of community banking, mortgage banking, investment services and
trustee services for real estate transactions. Financial information regarding the Corporation’s two operating
segments, Provident Bank and Provident Bank Mortgage, 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 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 mortgage loans. Mortgage banking
activities primarily consist of the origination and sale of single-family mortgage loans (including second mortgages
and equity lines of credit). Through its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp, the Bank conducts trustee services for
the Bank’s real estate transactions and in the past has held real estate for investment. See “Subsidiary Activities” on
page 38 of this Form 10-K. The activities of Provident Financial Corp are included in the Provident Bank operating
segment. 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 in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The Bank has contributed $40,000 annually to the Foundation in fiscal 2011, 2010 and
2009.

Subsequent Events:
Cash dividend
On July 21, 2011, the Corporation announced that the Corporation’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$0.03 per share. Shareholders of the Corporation’s common stock at the close of business on August 19, 2011 will
be entitled to receive the cash dividend, payable on September 16, 2011. Additionally, the Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of the Corporation’s common stock, or approximately 570,932
shares. The Corporation will purchase the shares from time to time in the open market or through privately
negotiated transactions over a one-year period depending on market conditions, the capital requirements of the
Corporation, and available cash that can be allocated to the stock repurchase plan.
Market Area
The Bank is headquartered in Riverside, California and operates 13 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 mortgage lending market to include most of Southern California and some of Northern California. As
of June 30, 2011, there were 10 PBM loan production offices located in Southern California (in Los Angeles,
Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties) and two PBM loan production offices in northern California (in
Alameda county). PBM’s loan production offices include two wholesale 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 2010 Census Bureau population statistics, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties have the
fourth and fifth largest 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 unemployment rate in the Inland Empire in June
2011 was 13.2%, compared to 11.8% in California and 9.2% nationwide, according to the United States of America
(“U.S.”) Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Current unemployment data improved slightly, yet
remains weak, as compared to the unemployment data reported in June 2010 of 14.4% in the Inland Empire, 12.3%
in California and 9.5% nationwide.
Southern California home sales remained relatively sluggish throughout fiscal 2011 although in June 2011 sales
increased to the highest level for any month since June 2010, when the market still benefited from federal
homebuyer tax credits. Sales of lower-cost homes, driven by investors and first-time buyers, and even high-end
sales continued to increase more rapidly than traditional move-up activity in middle price ranges, a real estate
information service reported. A total of 20,532 new and resale houses and condos sold in Los Angeles, Riverside,
San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties in June 2011 as compared to 23,871 in June 2010 (Source:
DataQuick; DQNews.com – July 12, 2011 News Release).
An estimated 38,975 new and resale houses and condos were sold statewide in June 2011 as compared to 43,964
sales in June 2010. California sales for the month of June have varied from a low of 35,202 in June 2008 to a high
of 76,669 in June 2004, while the monthly average is 49,929. The median price paid for a home in California in June
2011 was $253,000, down 6.3 percent from $270,000 in June 2010. The year-over-year decrease was the ninth in a
row after 11 months of increases. The statewide median’s low point in the current cycle was $221,000 in April 2009,
while the peak was $484,000 in early 2007 (Source: DataQuick; DQNews.com – July 14, 2011 News Release).
Competition
The Bank faces significant competition in its market area in originating real estate loans and attracting deposits. The
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-
2
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 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, 2011, the Bank had 436 full-time equivalent employees, which consisted of 376 full-time and 60
part-time employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit and the Bank believes that
its relationship with employees is good.
Segment Reporting
Financial information regarding the Corporation’s operating segments is contained in Note 17 to the Corporation’s
audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Internet Website
The Corporation maintains a website at www.myprovident.com. The information contained on that website is not
included as a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than an investor’s
own internet access charges, the Corporation makes available free of charge through that website the Corporation’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to
these reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after these materials have been electronically filed with, or furnished
to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the SEC maintains a website that contains
reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding companies that file electronically with
the SEC. This information is available at www.sec.gov.
Lending Activities
General. The lending activity of the Bank is predominately comprised of the origination of first mortgage loans
secured by single-family residential properties to be held for sale and, to a lesser extent, to be held for investment.
The Bank also originates multi-family and commercial real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, construction,
commercial business, consumer and other mortgage loans to be held for investment. Due to the decline in real estate
values and deterioration of credit quality, particularly for single-family loans, and the Bank’s short-term strategy to
improve liquidity and preserve capital, the Bank has reduced new loans held for investment, particularly single-
family loans. The Bank’s net loans held for investment were $881.6 million at June 30, 2011, representing
approximately 67.1% of consolidated total assets. This compares to $1.01 billion, or 71.9% of consolidated total
assets, at June 30, 2010.
At June 30, 2011, the maximum amount that the Bank could have loaned to any one borrower and the borrower’s
related entities under applicable regulations was $23.1 million, or 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus.
At June 30, 2011, the Bank had no loans or group of loans to related borrowers with outstanding balances in excess
of this amount. The Bank’s five largest lending relationships at June 30, 2011 consists of: seven multi-family loans
totaling $5.0 million and two commercial real estate loans totaling $2.1 million to one group of borrowers; one
commercial real estate loan totaling $6.3 million to one group of borrowers; two commercial real estate loans
totaling $5.7 million to one group of borrowers, two commercial real estate loans totaling $5.6 million to one group
of borrowers; and three multi-family loans totaling $5.3 million to one group of borrowers. The collateral properties
of these loans are located in Southern California. At June 30, 2011, all of these loans were performing in
accordance with their repayment terms, although one commercial real estate loan for $2.9 million was classified by
the Bank as special mention.

Maturity of Loans Held for Investment. The following table sets forth information at June 30, 2011 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, loans having no stated maturity,
and overdrafts are reported as becoming due within one year. The table does not include any estimate of
prepayments, which can 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 that secures the loan. 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, as borrowers are generally less inclined to refinance their loans when
market rates increase and more inclined to refinance their loans when market rates decrease.
Single-Family Mortgage Loans. The Bank’s predominant lending activity is the origination by PBM 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, 2011, total single-
family loans held for investment decreased to $494.2 million, or 54.3% of the total loans held for investment, from
$583.1 million, or 55.7% of the total loans held for investment, at June 30, 2010. The decrease in the single-family
5
loans in fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to loan principal payments and real estate owned acquired in the
settlement of loans, partly offset by new loans originated for investment.
The Bank’s residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten and documented in accordance with guidelines
established by institutional loan buyers, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and the Federal Housing Administration
(collectively, “the secondary market”). All conforming agency loans are generally underwritten and documented in
accordance with the guidelines established by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (“HUD”), Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) and the Veterans’ Administration (“VA”). Loans
are normally classified as either conforming (meeting agency criteria) or non-conforming (meeting an investor’s
criteria). Non-conforming loans are typically those that exceed agency loan limits but closely mirror agency
underwriting criteria. The non-conforming loans are underwritten to expanded guidelines allowing a borrower with
good credit a broader range of product choices. Given the recent market environment, PBM ceased the origination
of non-conforming loans in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and has expanded the production of FHA, VA, Freddie
Mac and Fannie Mae loans.
In fiscal 2009, the Bank implemented tighter underwriting standards commensurate with the decline in real estate
market conditions. These standards remain in place today. The Bank requires verified documentation of income
and assets and our underwriting conforms to agency mandated credit score requirements. Generally, mortgage
insurance is required on all loans exceeding 80% loan-to-value based on the lower of purchase price or appraised
value. The maximum allowable loan-to-value is 97% on a purchase transaction for conventional financing with
mortgage insurance and 96.5% loan-to-value for FHA financing with mortgage insurance. Second home purchases
and rate and term refinance transactions are capped at 90% loan-to-value with mortgage insurance. Non-owner
purchase and rate and term refinance transactions are capped at 80% loan-to-value while non-owner refinance cash-
out transactions are capped at 75% loan-to-value. We manage our underwriting standards, loan-to-value ratios and
credit standards to the currently required agency and investor policies and guidelines. These standards may change
at any time, given changes in real estate market conditions, secondary real estate market requirements and changes
to investor policies and guidelines.
The Bank previously offered closed-end, fixed-rate home equity loans that were secured by the borrower’s primary
residence. These loans did 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, 2011, home equity loans amounted to $1.7
million or 0.3% of single-family loans held for investment, as compared to $2.0 million or 0.4% of single-family
loans held for investment at June 30, 2010. The Bank also offered secured lines of credit, which are generally
secured by a second mortgage on the borrower’s primary residence up to 100% of the appraised value of the
residence. Secured lines of credit have an interest rate that is typically one to two percentage points above the prime
lending rate. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding secured lines of credit were $1.0 million and $1.3
million, respectively. The Bank ceased the origination of home equity loans and secured lines of credit in the
second quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of the deterioration in single-family real estate values.
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 following indexes, plus a margin of 2.00% to
3.25%, are used to calculate the periodic interest rate changes; the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the
FHLB Eleventh District cost of funds (“COFI”), the 12-month average U.S. Treasury (“12 MAT”) or the weekly
average yield on one year U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year (“CMT”). Loans
based on the LIBOR index constitute a majority of the Bank’s loans held for investment. 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. Given the recent market environment, the production
of ARM loans has been substantially reduced because borrowers favor fixed rate mortgages.
The reset of interest rates on ARM loans, primarily interest-only single-family loans, to fully-amortizing status has
not created a payment shock for most borrowers primarily because the majority of loans are repricing at 2.75% over
six-month LIBOR, which has resulted in a lower interest rate than the borrower’s pre-adjustment interest rate.
6
Management expects that the economic recovery will be slow to develop, which may translate to an extended period
of lower interest rates and a reduced risk of mortgage payment shock for the foreseeable future, though the
continuation of current economic conditions may increase the risk of delinquencies and defaults. The higher
delinquency level experienced by the Corporation in fiscal 2011 and 2010 was primarily due to higher
unemployment, the U.S. recession and the decline in real estate values, particularly in California. It should be noted,
however, that the delinquency level experienced in fiscal 2011 has improved as compared to the levels experienced
in fiscal 2010 and 2009.
In fiscal 2006, during the Bank’s 50th Anniversary, the Bank offered 50-year single-family ARM loans. At June 30,
2011, the Bank had 35 loans outstanding for $13.8 million with a 50-year term, compared to 38 loans for $14.9
million at June 30, 2010.
As of June 30, 2011, the Bank had $50.4 million in negative amortization mortgage loans (a loan in which accrued
interest exceeding the required monthly loan payment may be added to the loan principal), which consisted of $31.3
million of multi-family loans, $11.5 million of commercial real estate loans and $7.6 million of single-family loans.
This compares to $60.9 million at June 30, 2010, which consisted of $38.4 million of multi-family loans, $12.9
million of commercial real estate loans and $9.6 million of single-family loans. Negative amortization involves a
greater risk to the Bank because the credit risk exposure increases when the loan incurs negative amortization and
the value of the home serving as a collateral for the loan does not increase proportionally. Negative amortization is
only permitted up to a specific level, typically up to 115% of the original loan amount, and the payment on such
loans is subject to increased payments when the level is reached, adjusting periodically as provided in the loan
documents and potentially resulting in a higher payment by the borrower. The adjustment of these loans to higher
payment requirements can be a substantial factor in higher delinquency levels because the borrower may not be able
to make the higher payments. Also, real estate values may decline and credit standards may tighten in concert with
the higher payment requirement, making it difficult for borrowers to sell their homes or refinance their mortgages to
pay off their mortgage obligation.
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 product in a given interest rate and competitive
environment.
The retention of ARM loans, rather than fixed-rate loans, helps to reduce the Bank’s exposure to changes in interest
rates. There is, however, unquantifiable credit risk resulting from the potential of increased interest charges to be
paid by the borrower as a result of increases in interest rates or the expiration of interest-only periods. It is possible
that, 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 three to five years, followed by a periodic adjustable interest rate, coupled with an interest
only payment of three to ten years, followed by a fully amortizing loan payment for the remaining term. As of June
30, 2011 and 2010, interest-only, first trust deed, ARM loans were $241.6 million and $309.9 million, or 26.5% and
29.5%, respectively, of the loans held for investment. Furthermore, because loan indexes may not respond perfectly
to changes in 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.

(1) The outstanding balance presented on this table may overlap more than one category. Of the outstanding
balance, $21.9 million of “Interest only,” $28.9 million of “Stated income,” $1.7 million of “FICO less than or
equal to 660,” and $2.3 million of “Over 30-year amortization” balances were non-performing.
(2) The FICO score represents the creditworthiness of a borrower based on the borrower’s credit history, as
reported by an independent third party. A higher FICO score indicates a greater degree of creditworthiness.
Bank regulators have issued guidance stating that a FICO score of 660 and below is indicative of a “subprime”
borrower.
(3) Loan-to-value (“LTV”) is the ratio calculated by dividing the original loan balance by the lower of the original
appraised value or purchase price of the real estate collateral.
(4) Seasoning describes the number of years since the funding date of the loan.
(5) Stated income is defined as a loan to a borrower whose stated income on his/her loan application was not
subject to verification during the loan origination process.

A decline in real estate values subsequent to the time of origination of our real estate secured loans could result in
higher loan delinquency levels, foreclosures, provisions for loan losses and net charge-offs. Real estate values and
real estate markets are beyond the Corporation’s control and are generally affected by changes in national, regional
or local economic conditions and other factors. These factors include fluctuations in interest rates and the
availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax laws and other governmental statutes, regulations and
policies and acts of nature, such as earthquakes and other natural disasters particular to California where
substantially all of our real estate collateral is located. If real estate values continue to decline from the levels at the
8
time of loan origination, the value of our real estate collateral securing the loans could be significantly reduced. The
Corporation’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be
diminished and it would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans. Additionally, the Corporation does not
periodically update LTV on its loans held for investment by obtaining new appraisals or broker price opinions
unless a specific loan has demonstrated deterioration or the Corporation receives a loan modification request from a
borrower. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the LTV ratios disclosed in the following table may be
understated in comparison to the current LTV ratios as a result of the year of origination, the subsequent general
decline in real estate values that may have occurred and the specific location of the individual properties. The
Corporation cannot quantify the current LTVs of its loans held for investment or quantify the impact of the decline
in real estate values to the original LTVs of its loans held for investment by loan type, geography, or other subsets.

Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Loans. At June 30, 2011, multi-family mortgage loans
were $304.8 million and commercial real estate loans were $103.6 million, or 33.5% and 11.4%, respectively, of
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. During
fiscal 2011 the Bank originated $3.8 million and purchased $7.1 million of multi-family and commercial real estate
loans, all of which were re-underwritten in accordance with the Bank’s origination guidelines. At June 30, 2011, the
Bank had 415 multi-family and 135 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, 5/1 and
7/1 hybrids, with a term to maturity of 10 to 30 years and 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 interest rate caps and life-of-loan interest rate caps. At June 30,
2011, $271.3 million, or 89.0%, 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, warehouses and small retail centers, primarily located in Southern California. The Bank originates multi-
family and commercial real estate loans in amounts typically ranging from $350,000 to $4.0 million. At June 30,
2011, the Bank had 54 commercial real estate and multi-family loans with principal balances greater than $1.5
million totaling $129.3 million, all of which were performing in accordance with their terms, except one multi-
family loan classified in accordance with federal bank regulatory guidelines as substandard for $1.5 million, net of a
specific loan loss allowance of $555,000. The Bank obtains appraisals on properties that secure multi-family and
commercial real estate loans. Underwriting of multi-family and commercial real estate loans includes, among other
considerations, 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 and guarantors.
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. Properties securing multi-family and commercial real estate
loans are primarily located in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. At June 30,
2011, the Bank had $2.0 million, net of specific loan loss allowances, of non-performing multi-family loans and
$2.2 million, net of specific loan loss allowances, of non-performing commercial real estate loans. At June 30,
2011, the Bank had $387,000 of commercial real estate loans past due 30 to 89 days and no multi-family loans past
due 30 to 89 days. Non-performing loans and delinquent loans may increase as a result of the general decline in
Southern California real estate markets and poor general economic conditions.
The following table summarizes the interest rate reset or maturity schedule of the Corporation’s multi-family loans
held for investment, including the percentage of those which are identified as non-performing, 30 – 89 days
delinquent or not fully amortizing as of June 30, 2011:

Construction Mortgage Loans. The Bank originates from time to time two types of construction loans: short-term
construction loans and construction/permanent loans. The Bank had no construction loans at June 30, 2011 as
compared to $400,000 at June 30, 2010, as a result of management’s decision in fiscal 2006 to reduce tract
construction loan originations (given anticipated unfavorable real estate market conditions). There were no loan
originations of construction mortgage loans in fiscal 2011 and 2010.
Other mortgage loans. At June 30, 2011, other mortgage loans, which consisted of land loans, were $1.5 million,
or 0.2%, of the Bank’s loans held for investment, unchanged from the balance at June 30, 2010. 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.
Participation Loan Purchases and Sales. In an effort to expand production and diversify risk, the Bank purchases
loan participations, with collateral primarily in California, which allows for greater geographic distribution of the
Bank’s loans and increases loan production volume. The Bank solicits other lenders to purchase participating
interests in multi-family and commercial real estate 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 approximates what would be the Bank’s
servicing expenses. All properties serving as collateral for loan participations are inspected by an employee of the
Bank or a third party inspection service 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 purchased $7.1 million of
loans in fiscal 2011 as compared to none in fiscal 2010. As of June 30, 2011, total loans serviced by other financial
institutions were $20.4 million, down 7% from $22.0 million at June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, all loans
serviced by others are performing according to their contractual agreements, although one loan of $1.6 million was
classified as special mention.
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. The Bank did not sell any participation loans in fiscal 2011 and
2010.
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 yield. As of June 30, 2011, commercial business loans were $4.5 million, or 0.5% of loans held for
investment, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 32%, during fiscal 2011. These loans represent secured and 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
require personal guarantees from financially capable parties associated with the business 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 are usually 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 collectible and inventories and equipment
may be obsolete or of limited use. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial business loan depends primarily on
15
the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is secondary and
oftentimes an insufficient source of repayment. The Bank has $143,000 of non-performing commercial business
loans at June 30, 2011, down 75% from $567,000 at June 30, 2010. During fiscal 2011, the Bank had a net recovery
of $25,000 on commercial business loans, an improvement from net charge offs of $893,000 during fiscal 2010.
Consumer Loans. At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s consumer loans were $750,000, or 0.1% of the Bank’s loans held
for investment, a decrease of 12% during fiscal 2011. 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, 2011 and 2010 were $520,000 and $580,000, 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 ongoing financial stability, and thus are
more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of
various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount
that can be recovered on such loans. The Bank had no consumer loans accounted for on a non-performing basis at
June 30, 2011, an improvement from $1,000 of non-performing consumer loans at June 30, 2010.
Mortgage Banking Activities
General. Mortgage banking involves the origination and sale of single-family mortgages (first and second trust
deeds), including equity lines of credit, by PBM for the purpose of generating gains on sale of loans and fee income
on the origination of loans. PBM also originates single-family loans to be held for investment. Due to the recent
economic and real estate conditions and consistent with the Bank’s short-term strategy, PBM has been primarily
originating loans for sale to institutional investors. Given current pricing in the mortgage markets, the Bank 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 California economy affect the number of loans originated by PBM and, thus, the
amount of loan sales, gain on sale of loans, net interest income and loan fees earned. Originations of loans during
fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $2.15 billion, $1.80 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively. The total loan
origination volume was higher than fiscal 2010, primarily as a result of relatively low mortgage interest rates, a less
competitive mortgage banking environment and more stable, though still weakened, real estate market. The low
mortgage rates were primarily a result of the actions taken by the U.S. Department of Treasury and Federal Reserve
to reduce interest rates in response to the global credit crisis. Of the total PBM loan originations, loans originated
for investment were $1.8 million, $818,000 and $9.4 million in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The small
amount of the PBM loans originated for investment was consistent with the Corporation’s short-term strategy to
deleverage the balance sheet in order to mitigate credit and liquidity risks and to improve capital ratios.
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 835 loan brokers
approved by the Bank who originate and submit loans at a markup over the Bank’s daily published price. Accepted
loans are funded and sold by the Bank. Wholesale loans originated for sale in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were
$1.39 billion, $1.34 billion and $1.06 billion, respectively. PBM has two regional wholesale lending offices: one in
Pleasanton and one in Rancho Cucamonga, California, housing wholesale representatives, underwriters and
processors.
PBM’s retail loan production utilizes loan officers, underwriters and processors. PBM’s loan officers generate retail
loan originations primarily through referrals from realtors, builders, employees and customers. As of June 30, 2011,
PBM operated stand-alone retail loan production offices in City of Industry, Dublin, Escondido, Glendora, Hermosa
Beach, Rancho Cucamonga and Riverside (3), California. Generally, the cost of retail operations exceeds the cost of
wholesale operations as a result of the additional employees needed for retail operations. The revenue per mortgage
for retail originations is, however, generally higher since the origination fees are retained by the Bank instead of the
wholesale loan broker. Retail loans originated for sale in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $750.7 million, $464.1
million and $259.3 million, respectively.
16
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 at June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $107.5 million and
$146.4 million, respectively (see Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of
this Form 10-K). When the Bank issues a loan 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 loan sale commitments and over-the-counter put and call
option contracts related to mortgage-backed securities. If the Bank is unable to reasonably predict the amount of
loan commitments which may not fund (fallout), the Bank may enter into “best-efforts” loan sale commitments (see
“Derivative Activities” on page 19 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 2.5%. 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, 2011 and 2010, the Bank
had $2.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of unamortized deferred loan origination costs (net) in loans held for
investment.
Loan Originations, Sales and Purchases. The Bank’s mortgage originations include loans insured by the FHA
and VA as well as conventional loans. 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 secondary market 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 and Freddie Mac (see “Derivative Activities” on page 19 of this Form 10-
K).

Mortgage loans sold to institutional investors generally are sold without recourse other than standard representations
and warranties. Generally, mortgage loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 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 FHA
and VA loans used to form Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) pools, which are subject to
limitations on the FHA’s and VA’s loan guarantees.
18
Loans previously 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 addition to the first four basis points of loss. The
FHLB – San Francisco pays the Bank a credit enhancement fee on a monthly basis to compensate the Bank for
accepting the recourse obligation. FHLB – San Francisco discontinued the MPF program on October 6, 2006. As of
June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank serviced $87.0 million and $110.5 million, respectively, of loans under this
program and has established a recourse liability of $96,000 and $122,000, respectively. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, a
net recourse loss of $9,000 and $19,000, respectively, was recognized, while no losses were recognized in fiscal 2009
under this program.
Occasionally, the Bank is required to repurchase loans sold to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac 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 fiscal 2011, the Bank did not repurchase any single-family mortgage loans as
compared to $368,000 in fiscal 2010 and $4.0 million in fiscal 2009. However, many additional repurchase requests
were settled, an aggregate of $2.0 million, $3.4 million and $2.1 million in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively,
that did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself.
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 loan sale commitments and the purchase of over-the-counter put and call option
contracts related to mortgage-backed securities. At various times, depending on loan origination volume and
management’s assessment of projected loan which may not fund, the Bank may reduce or increase its derivative
positions. If the Bank is unable to reasonably predict the amount of loan commitments which may not fund, the
Bank may enter into “best-efforts” loan sale commitments rather than “mandatory” loan sale commitments.
Mandatory loan sale commitments may include whole loan and/or To-Be-Announced MBS (“TBA-MBS”) loan sale
commitments.
Under mandatory loan sale commitments, usually with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac 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. The mandatory loan sale commitments 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 loan sale commitments are based upon management’s estimates as to the volume of loans that
will close and the length of the origination commitments. The mandatory loan sale commitments do not provide
complete interest-rate protection, however, because of the possibility of loans which may not 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 loan sale commitments at current market prices, which may be unfavorable to the
Bank. Generally, the Bank seeks to maintain loan sale commitments equal to the funded loans held for sale at fair
value, funded loans held for sale at the lower of cost or market 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.
Additionally, in order to reduce the interest rate risk associated with commitments to originate loans that are in
excess of loan sale commitments, the Bank purchases over-the-counter put or call option contracts on government
sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities.
19
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 completes a daily analysis, which reports the
Bank’s interest rate risk position with respect to its loan origination and sale activities. 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.
The Bank had $13.0 million of put option contracts outstanding at June 30, 2011 and had no put or call option
contracts at June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank had outstanding mandatory loan sale commitments
of $279.9 million and $295.3 million, respectively; outstanding best-efforts loan sale commitments of $8.2 million
and $7.9 million, respectively; and commitments to originate loans to be held for sale of $107.5 million and $146.4
million, respectively (see Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this
Form 10-K). Additionally, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank’s loans held for sale at fair value were $191.7
million and $170.3 million, respectively, which were also covered by the loan sale commitments described above.
For fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Bank had a net gain of $590,000 and a net gain of $3.0 million, respectively,
attributable to the underlying derivative financial instruments used to mitigate the interest rate risk of its mortgage
banking activities and the fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale.
Loan Servicing
The Bank receives fees from a variety of institutional investors in return for performing the traditional services of
collecting individual loan payments on loans sold by the Bank to such investors. At June 30, 2011, the Bank was
servicing $109.4 million of loans for others, a decline from $134.7 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease was
primarily attributable to loan prepayments. 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. After 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 Bank
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 (as prepayments typically decrease) and less valuable when interest rates
decline (as prepayments typically increase). In estimating fair values at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank used a
weighted average Constant Prepayment Rate (“CPR”) of 19.10% and 25.59%, respectively, and a weighted-average
discount rate of 9.02% at both dates. The required impairment reserve against servicing assets at June 30, 2011 and
2010 was $76,000 and $82,000, respectively. The decrease in impairment reserve was due primarily to expected
lower prepayments. In aggregate, servicing assets had a carrying value of $354,000 and a fair value of $589,000 at
June 30, 2011, compared to a carrying value of $377,000 and a fair value of $725,000 at June 30, 2010.
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 $200,000, gross unrealized
gains of $197,000 and an amortized cost of $3,000 at June 30, 2011, compared to a fair value of $247,000, gross
unrealized gains of $243,000 and an amortized cost of $4,000 at June 30, 2010.
20
Delinquencies and Classified Assets
Delinquent Loans. When a mortgage loan borrower fails to make a required payment when due, the Bank initiates
collection procedures. 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 placed on non-performing status when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent or if the
loan is deemed impaired. In addition, interest income is not recognized on any loan where management has
determined that collection is not reasonably assured. A non-performing loan may be restored to accrual status when
delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current 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, collateral value, the financial condition of the borrower and current
25
economic conditions. The Bank measures each impaired or non-performing loan based on the fair value of its
collateral or discounted cash flow analysis and charges off those loans or portions of loans deemed uncollectible.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, 43 loans for $20.7 million were modified from their original terms, were
re-underwritten at current market interest rates and were identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as
restructured loans. This compares to 111 loans for $53.8 million that were modified in the fiscal year ended June
30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance of modified (restructured) loans was $39.2 million,
comprised of 93 loans. These restructured loans are classified as follows: 34 loans are classified as pass, are not
included in the classified asset totals and remain on accrual status ($15.3 million); five loans are classified as special
mention and remain on accrual status ($4.6 million); 53 loans are classified as substandard on non-performing status
($19.3 million, with 51 of the 53 loans or $18.4 million on non-accrual status); and one loan is classified as loss and
fully reserved. As of June 30, 2011, 79%, or $31.0 million of the restructured loans have a current payment status.
Restructured loans which are initially classified as “Substandard” and placed on non-performing status may be
upgraded and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of payment performance (usually six months
or longer) and there is a reasonable assurance that the payment will continue.

family loans ($2.0 million); one other mortgage loan ($972,000); four commercial business loans ($143,000); and

26
one commercial real estate property ($102,000), one developed lot ($399,000) and 25 undeveloped lots acquired in
the settlement of loans ($69,000). As of June 30, 2011, 38%, or $14.2 million of non-performing loans have a
current payment status, primarily restructured loans. Compared to June 30, 2010, total non-performing assets
decreased $28.0 million, or 38%.
Foregone interest income, which would have been recorded for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 had
the non-performing loans been current in accordance with their original terms, amounted to $1.3 million and $3.8
million, respectively, and was not included in the results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and
2010.
As of June 30, 2011, $12.8 million of loans which were not disclosed as non-performing loans or restructured loans
but where known information about possible credit problems of the borrowers causes management to have serious
doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms were classified as special
mention, of which $2.6 million were single-family mortgage loans, $3.6 million were multi-family mortgage loans,
$6.5 million were commercial real estate mortgage loans and $78,000 were commercial business loans. As of June
30, 2010, $20.5 million of loans were classified as special mention.
Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When a 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 its market value less the
estimated cost of sale. Subsequent declines in value are charged to operations. As of June 30, 2011, the real estate
owned balance was $8.3 million (54 properties), primarily single-family residences located in Southern California,
compared to $14.7 million (77 properties) at June 30, 2010. In managing the real estate owned properties for quick
disposition, the Corporation completes the necessary repairs and maintenance to the individual properties before
listing for sale, obtains new appraisals and broker price opinions (“BPO”) to determine current market listing prices,
and engages local realtors who are most familiar with real estate sub-markets, among other techniques, which
generally results in the quick disposition of real estate owned.
Asset Classification. The OCC has adopted various regulations regarding the 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, OCC 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
valuation allowance for the full amount or for the portion of the asset classified as loss. All or a portion of general
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 closely monitored by the Bank.

Classified assets decreased at June 30, 2011 from the June 30, 2010 level primarily due to loan classification
upgrades, particularly those restructured loans with satisfactory contractual payments for at least six consecutive
months; disposition of real estate owned properties and a general improvement in the real estate market, resulting in
fewer delinquent loans. The classified assets are primarily located in Southern California.
As set forth below, loans classified as special mention and substandard as of June 30, 2011 were comprised of 167
loans totaling $58.3 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 factors, 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 adjusts its allowance for loan losses
by charging or crediting its 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
28
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 and specific allowance for
identified problem loans.
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 ASC 310, “Receivables.” 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
summarizing the actions of the IAR Committee to the Bank’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
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
general allowance. The intent of the IAR 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 12 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, 2011, the Bank had an allowance for loan losses of $30.5 million, or 3.34% of gross loans held for
investment, compared to an allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 of $43.5 million, or 4.14% of gross loans
held for investment. A $5.5 million provision for loan losses was recorded in fiscal 2011, compared to $21.8 million
in fiscal 2010. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was attributable to the improvement in credit quality,
primarily single-family real estate properties. Although management believes the best information available is used
to make such provisions, 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.
The Corporation’s first trust deed, single-family mortgage loans held for investment contain certain non-traditional
underwriting characteristics (e.g. interest only, stated income, negative amortization, FICO less than or equal to 660,
and/or over 30-year amortization schedule) as described in Item 1 – Business – Single-Family Mortgage Loans in
the table on page 8 of this Form 10-K. These loans may have a greater risk of default in comparison to single-family
mortgage loans that have been underwritten with more stringent requirements. As a result, the Corporation may
experience higher future levels of non-performing single-family loans that may require additional allowances for
loan losses and may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. As of June 30, 2011,
the specific valuation allowance for impaired interest-only loans, impaired stated income loans and impaired
negative amortization loans was $5.8 million, $7.6 million and $461,000, respectively, as compared with $9.4
million, $10.3 million and $298,000, respectively as of June 30, 2010 (please note that each loan type may be
described in more than one category under the concept generally known as “layered-risk”).
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 (“generally accepted accounting principles”), there can
be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loan portfolio, will not recommend that the Bank
29
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.
The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. Where
specific loan loss allowances have been established, any differences between the loss allowances and the amount of
loss realized has been charged or credited to current operations.

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.
The investment policy of the Bank, established by the Board of Directors and implemented by the Bank’s Asset-
Liability Committee, 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 or 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, 2011, the Bank’s investment securities portfolio was $26.2 million, which primarily consisted of federal
agency and government sponsored enterprise obligations. The Bank’s investment securities portfolio was classified
as available for sale.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank’s investment portfolio at the dates indicated.

As of June 30, 2011, the unrealized holding losses relate to two adjustable-rate private issue CMO with an
unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, primarily the result of perceived credit and liquidity concerns.
Based on the nature of the investments (e.g. AA rating, 2003 issuance, weighted average LTV of 56%, weighted
average FICO score of 743, over collateralization, and senior tranche position) and the Bank’s ability and intent to
hold the investments until maturity, management concluded that such unrealized losses were not other than
temporary as of June 30, 2011.

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 customers’ 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 reviews its deposit composition and pricing on a weekly
basis.
The Bank generally offers time deposits for terms not exceeding five years. As illustrated in the following table,
time deposits represented 50% of the Bank’s deposit portfolio at June 30, 2011, compared to 51% at June 30, 2010.
As of June 30, 2011, total brokered deposits were $12.2 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.11% and
remaining maturity between one and eight years. Compared to June 30, 2010, total brokered deposits were $19.6
million with a weighted average interest rate of 2.78% and remaining maturity between one and nine years. 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” beginning on page 62 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. As of June 30, 2011, the FHLB – San Francisco borrowing
capacity was limited to 35% of total assets. Advances from the FHLB – San Francisco are typically secured by the
Bank’s single-family residential, multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loans. Total mortgage loans
pledged to the FHLB – San Francisco were $923.1 million at June 30, 2011 as compared to $983.2 million at June
30, 2010. In addition, the Bank pledged investment securities totaling $985,000 at June 30, 2011 as compared to
$15.9 million at June 30, 2010 to collateralize its FHLB – San Francisco advances under the Securities-Backed
Credit (“SBC”) facility. At June 30, 2011, the Bank had $206.6 million of borrowings from the FHLB – San
Francisco with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.77%. Such borrowings mature between 2011 and 2021 with a
weighted average maturity of 29 months. In addition to the total borrowings mentioned above, the Corporation
utilized its borrowing facility for letters of credit and MPF credit enhancement. The outstanding letters of credit at
June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $13.0 million at both dates; and the outstanding MPF credit enhancement was $3.1
million at both dates. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the available and unused borrowing facility was $245.9 million
and $166.1 million, respectively, with remaining available collateral of $372.9 million and $321.2 million,
respectively.
37
In addition, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank had secured a discount window facility of $23.1 million and
$17.4 million, respectively, at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, collateralized by investment securities
with a fair market value of $24.3 million and $18.3 million, respectively.

As a member of the FHLB – San Francisco, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB – San
Francisco stock. The Bank held the required investment of $14.0 million and an excess investment of $13.0 million
at June 30, 2011, as compared to the required investment of $20.0 million and an excess investment of $11.7 million
at June 30, 2010. During fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Bank received a partial redemption of the excess FHLB – San
Francisco stock of $4.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. On July 29, 2011, the FHLB – San Francisco
announced a partial redemption of excess capital stock; a total of $1.2 million was redeemed on August 15, 2011.
Also in fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Bank received cash dividends on the FHLB – San Francisco stock of $110,000 and
$112,000, respectively. In fiscal 2009, the FHLB – San Francisco distributed $324,000 of stock dividends to the
Bank. On July 28, 2011, the FHLB – San Francisco declared a cash dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 at
an annualized dividend rate of 0.26%, or $18,000, which was received on August 11, 2011. The partial redemptions
of excess capital stock and the cash dividend distributions by the FHLB – San Francisco are consistent with its
stated desire to strengthen its capital ratios.
Subsidiary Activities
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,
2011.
38
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, if any. Profed Mortgage, Inc., which formerly conducted the Bank’s
mortgage banking activities, and First Service Corporation are currently inactive. At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s
investment in its subsidiaries was $114,000.

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.
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 OCC, FDIC and Federal Reserve Bank. 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.
New Legislation. On July 21 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-
reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, including provisions that, among other things, has or
will:
• On July 21, 2011, the responsibilities and authority of the OTS to supervise and examine federal thrifts,
including the Bank, were transferred to the OCC, and the responsibilities and authority of the OTS to supervise
and examine savings and loan holding companies, including the Corporation, were transferred to the Federal
Reserve Board.
• Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency within the Federal
Reserve Board, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, with broad rulemaking, supervision and
enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and thrifts.
Smaller financial institutions, including the Bank, will be subject to the supervision and enforcement of their
primary federal banking regulator with respect to the federal consumer financial protection laws.
• Require new capital rules and apply the same leverage and risk-based capital requirements that apply to
insured depository institutions to savings and loan holding companies beginning July 21, 2015.
• Require the federal banking regulators to seek to make their capital requirements counter cyclical, so that
capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.
• Provide for new disclosure and other requirements relating to executive compensation and corporate
governance.
• Make permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance and provide unlimited federal deposit
insurance until January 1, 2013 for non interest-bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository
institutions.
• Effective July 21, 2011, repealed the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits,
thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts.
• Require all depository institution holding companies to serve as a source of financial strength to their
depository institution subsidiaries in the event such subsidiaries suffer from financial distress.
Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it
difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Corporation and the financial services industry more
generally. The elimination of the prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits could materially
increase the Corporation’s interest expense, depending on our competitor’s responses. Provisions in the legislation
that require revisions to the capital requirements of the Corporation and the Bank could require the Corporation and
the Bank to seek additional sources of capital in the future.

General
As discussed above, effective July 21, 2011, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the supervision and examination
authority of the Bank was transferred from the OTS to the OCC and the supervision and examination authority of
the Corporation was transferred from the OTS to the Federal Reserve Board. As part of this process, the regulations
of the OTS have been incorporated into the respective regulations of the OCC and the Federal Reserve Board.
The Bank, as a federally chartered savings institution, is subject to extensive regulation, examination and
supervision by the OCC, 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 OCC 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 OCC to evaluate the Bank’s safety and soundness and
compliance with various regulatory requirements. Under certain circumstances, the FDIC may also examine the
Bank. 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 allowances for regulatory purposes. Any change in such policies,
whether by the OCC, 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 OCC. The
Corporation is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under
the federal securities laws. See “Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulations” on page 46 of this Form 10-K.
Federal Regulation of Savings Institutions
Office of Comptroller of the Currency. The OCC has extensive authority over the operations of savings
institutions. As part of this authority, the Bank is required to file periodic reports with the OCC and is subject to
periodic examinations by the OCC and the FDIC. The OCC 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 a cease-and-desist order 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 OCC. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure
of final enforcement actions by the OCC is required.
If the OCC deems an institution to be in “troubled condition” (because it receives a composite CAMELS rating of 4
or 5, is subject to a cease-and-desist order, a capital or prompt corrective action directive, or a formal written
agreement, or because of other reasons), the institution will become subject to various restrictions, such as growth
limits, requirement for prior application of any new director or senior executive officer, restrictions on dividends,
compensation and golden parachute and indemnification payments, and restrictions on transactions with affiliates
and third parties. Higher assessment and application fees will also apply.
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 estate property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with the approval
of the OCC. Federal savings institutions are also generally authorized to branch nationwide. The Bank is in
compliance with the noted restrictions.
Prior to the OTS’s elimination on July 21, 2011, all savings institutions were required to pay assessments to the OTS
to fund the agency’s operations. The general assessments, which were paid on a semi-annual basis, were 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, 2011 was $490,000, which was paid to the OTS prior to July 21, 2011.
40
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, 2011, the Bank’s limit on
loans to one borrower or group of related borrowers was $23.1 million. At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s largest lending
relationship to a single borrower or group of borrowers totaled $7.1 million, consisting of multi-family and
commercial real estate loans, all of which are performing according to their original terms.
The OCC, 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 Agency. 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, 2011, the Bank had $206.6 million of outstanding advances from
the FHLB – San Francisco under an available credit facility of $468.6 million, based on 35% of total assets, which is
limited to available collateral. See “Business – Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds – Borrowings” on
page 37 of this Form 10-K.
As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB – San Francisco. The Bank held the
required stock investment of $14.0 million and excess stock investment of $13.0 million at June 30, 2011. In fiscal
2011, the FHLB – San Francisco only redeemed $4.8 million of excess capital stock, consistent with its stated desire
to strengthen its capital ratios. In fiscal 2011, the FHLB – San Francisco distributed $110,000 of cash dividends.
There is no guarantee that the FHLB – San Francisco will maintain its cash dividend and partial redemption of
excess stock held by its members.
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.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by
the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC,
backed by the full faith and 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 insurance fund. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against
savings institutions, after giving the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 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.
As a result of a decline in the reserve ratio (the ratio of the DIF to estimated insured deposits) and concerns about
expected failure costs and available liquid assets in the DIF, the FDIC adopted a rule requiring each insured
institution to prepay on December 30, 2009 the estimated amount of its quarterly assessments for the fourth quarter
of 2009 and all quarters through the end of 2012 (in addition to the regular quarterly assessment for the third quarter
which was due on December 30, 2009). The prepaid amount is recorded as an asset with a zero risk weight and the
institution will continue to record quarterly expenses for deposit insurance. For purposes of calculating the prepaid
amount, assessments were measured at the institution’s assessment rate as of September 30, 2009, with a uniform
41
increase of three basis points effective January 1, 2011, and were based on the institution’s assessment base for the
third quarter of 2009, with growth assumed quarterly at an annual rate of 5%. If events cause actual assessments
during the prepayment period to vary from the prepaid amount, institutions will pay excess assessments in cash or
receive a rebate of prepaid amounts not exhausted after collection of assessments due on June 30, 2013, as
applicable. Collection of the prepayment does not preclude the FDIC from changing assessment rates or revising the
risk-based assessment system in the future. The rule includes a process for exemption from the prepayment for
institutions whose safety and soundness would be affected adversely. In December 2009, the Bank paid the prepaid
assessment of $10.4 million; and as of June 30, 2011, the outstanding prepaid assessment was $6.1 million.
As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC adopted rules effective April 1, 2011, under which insurance
premium assessments are based on an institution's total assets minus its tangible equity (defined as Tier 1 capital)
instead of its deposits. Under these rules, an institution with total assets of less than $10 billion will be assigned one
of four risk categories based on its capital, supervisory ratings and other factors. Well capitalized institutions that are
financially sound with only a few minor weaknesses are assigned to Risk Category I. Risk Categories II, III and IV
present progressively greater risks to the DIF. A range of initial base assessment rates will apply to each category,
subject to adjustment downward based on unsecured debt issued by the institution and, except for an institution in
Risk Category I, adjustment upward if the institution's brokered deposits exceed 10% of its domestic deposits, to
produce total base assessment rates. Total base assessment rates range from 2.5 to nine basis points for Risk
Category I, nine to 24 basis points for Risk Category II, 18 to 33 basis points for Risk Category III and 30 to 45
basis points for Risk Category IV, all subject to further adjustment upward if the institution holds more than a de
minimis amount of unsecured debt issued by another FDIC-insured institution. The FDIC may increase or decrease
its rates by 2.0 basis points without further rulemaking. In an emergency, the FDIC may also impose a special
assessment.
The Dodd-Frank Act establishes 1.35% as the minimum reserve ratio. The FDIC has adopted a plan under which it
will meet this ratio by September 30, 2020, the deadline imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank requires
the FDIC to offset the effect on institutions with assets less than $10 billion of the increase in the statutory minimum
reserve ratio to 1.35% from the former statutory minimum of 1.15%. The FDIC has not yet announced how it will
implement this offset. In addition to the statutory minimum ratio the FDIC must designate a reserve ratio, known as
the designated reserve ratio (“DRR”), which may exceed the statutory minimum. The FDIC has established 2.0% as
the DRR. In addition, all institutions with deposits insured by the FDIC are required to pay assessments to fund
interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency of the Federal government established to
fund the costs of failed thrifts in the 1980s. For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, the Financing
Corporation assessment equaled 1.00 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.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, beginning on January 1, 2011, all non interest-bearing transaction accounts and IOLTA
accounts qualify for unlimited deposit insurance by the FDIC through December 31, 2012. NOW accounts, which
were previously fully insured under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, are no longer eligible for an
unlimited guarantee due to the expiration of this program on December 31, 2010. NOW accounts, along with all
other deposits maintained at the Savings Bank, are now insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per account owner.
In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in
the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. This payment is
established quarterly and during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 averaged 5.33 basis points of assessable
deposits. The Financing Corporation was chartered in 1987, by the OTS’ predecessor, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, solely for the purpose of functioning as a vehicle for the recapitalization of the deposit insurance system.
As insurer, the FDIC 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 threat to the DIF. The FDIC also has the authority to take enforcement actions against
banks and savings associations.contains a number of provisions that will affect the capital requirements applicable to
the Corporation and the Bank, including the requirement that thrift holding companies be subject to consolidated
capital requirements, effective July 21, 2011, the date the OTS became part of the OCC. In addition, on September
12, 2010, the Basel Committee adopted the Basel III capital rules. These rules, which will be phased in over a period
42
of years, set new standards for common equity, tier 1 and total capital, determined on a risk-weighted basis. The
impact on the Corporation and the Bank of the Basel III rules cannot be determined at this time. For additional
information, see “-- Capital Requirements -- Possible Changes to Capital Requirements Resulting from Basel III” set
forth below.
A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and
results of operations of the Bank. There can be no prediction as to what insurance assessment rates will be in the
future. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any
applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the OCC. Management of the Bank is
not aware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of the Bank’s deposit insurance.
Prompt Corrective Action. Federal statutes establish a supervisory framework based on five capital categories:
significantly undercapitalized and critically
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
undercapitalized. An institution’s category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant capital
measures, which include a risk-based capital measure, a leverage ratio capital measure and certain other factors.
The federal banking agencies have adopted regulations that implement this statutory framework. Under these
regulations, an institution is treated as well capitalized if its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 10% or
more, its ratio of core capital to risk-weighted assets is 6% or more, its ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets
(leverage ratio) is 5% or more, and it is not subject to any federal supervisory order or directive to meet a specific
capital level. In order to be adequately capitalized, an institution must have a total risk-based capital ratio of not less
than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of not less than 4%, and a leverage ratio of not less than 4%. Any
institution which is neither well capitalized nor adequately capitalized is considered undercapitalized.
Undercapitalized institutions are subject to certain prompt corrective action requirements, regulatory controls and
restrictions which become more extensive as an institution becomes more severely undercapitalized. Failure by
institutions to comply with applicable capital requirements would, if not remedied, result in progressively more
severe restrictions on their respective activities and lead to enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, the
issuance of a capital directive to ensure the maintenance of required capital levels and, ultimately, the appointment
of the FDIC as receiver or conservator. Banking regulators will take prompt corrective action with respect to
depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Additionally, approval of any regulatory
application filed for their review may be dependent on compliance with capital requirements.
At June 30, 2011, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations of
the OCC. The OCC defines “well capitalized” to mean that an institution has a core capital ratio of at least 5.0%, a
ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.0% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at
least 6.0%, and is not subject to a written agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain any specific capital
measure.
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. As of June 30, 2011, the Bank maintained 99.27% of its portfolio assets in
qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the qualified thrift lender test.
Capital Requirements. OCC’s capital regulations require federal savings institutions to meet three minimum
capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% core capital ratio and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In
addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed above also establish, in effect, a minimum ratio of 2%
tangible capital, 4% core capital (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS system), 8% risk-
based capital, and 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital. The OCC regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible, core
43
and risk-based capital ratios, 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 1 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 OCC capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core 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 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. At June 30, 2011, the Bank met each of these capital requirements. For
additional information, including the capital levels of the Bank, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
The OCC 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.
Possible Changes to Capital Requirements Resulting from Basel III. In December 2010 and January 2011, the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision published the final texts of reforms on capital and liquidity generally
referred to as “Basel III.” Although Basel III is intended to be implemented by participating countries for large,
internationally active banks, its provisions are likely to be considered by United States banking regulators in
developing new regulations applicable to other banks in the United States, including the Bank.
For banks in the United States, among the most significant provisions of Basel III concerning capital are the
following:
! A minimum ratio of common equity to risk-weighted assets reaching 4.5%, plus an additional 2.5% as a
capital conservation buffer, by 2019 after a phase-in period.
! A minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets reaching 6.0% by 2019 after a phase-in period.
! A minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets, plus the additional 2.5% capital conservation
buffer, reaching 10.5% by 2019 after a phase-in period.
! An additional counter cyclical capital buffer to be imposed by applicable national banking regulators
periodically at their discretion, with advance notice.
! Restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses applicable when capital ratios fall within the
buffer zone.
! Deduction from common equity of deferred tax assets that depend on future profitability to be realized.
!
Increased capital requirements for counter-party credit risk relating to OTC derivatives, repos and securities
financing activities.
! For capital instruments issued on or after January 13, 2013 (other than common equity), a loss-absorbency
requirement such that the instrument must be written off or converted to common equity if a trigger event
occurs, either pursuant to applicable law or at the direction of the banking regulator. A trigger event is an
event under which the banking entity would become nonviable without the write-off or conversion, or
without an injection of capital from the public sector. The issuer must maintain authorization to issue the
requisite shares of common equity if conversion were required.
The Basel III provisions on liquidity include complex criteria establishing a liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”) and net
stable funding ratio (“NSFR”). The purpose of the LCR is to ensure that a bank maintains adequate unencumbered,
high quality liquid assets to meet its liquidity needs for 30 days under a severe liquidity stress scenario. The purpose
of the NSFR is to promote more medium and long-term funding of assets and activities, using a one-year horizon.
Although Basel III is described as a “final text,” it is subject to the resolution of certain issues and to further
44
guidance and modification, as well as to adoption by United States banking regulators, including decisions as to
whether and to what extent it will apply to United States banks that are not large, internationally active banks.
Limitations on Capital Distributions. OCC 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 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 or in troubled condition by the OCC
may have its dividend authority restricted by the OCC. Savings institutions proposing to make any capital
distribution need not submit written notice to the OCC 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 OCC approval prior to making such distribution. The OCC may
object to the distribution during that 30-day period based 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 OCC 30 days in advance and provide the required information in connection with such
notification. Savings institutions also must conduct the activities of subsidiaries in accordance with existing
regulations and orders.
The OCC 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 OCC 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 and Insiders. The Bank’s authority to engage in transactions with “affiliates” is
limited by OCC 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 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. 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. An institution
deemed to be in “troubled condition” must file a notice with the OCC and obtain its non-objection to any transaction
with an affiliate (subject to certain exemptions).
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 which
such persons 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.
45
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
OCC, 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 OCC 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.
Regulatory and Criminal Enforcement Provisions. The OCC has primary enforcement responsibility over
federally chartered savings institutions and has the authority to bring action against all “institution-affiliated parties,”
including stockholders, 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 OCC that an 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 acted 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.
Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulations
General. The Corporation is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to the regulatory oversight of the
Federal Reserve Board. Accordingly, the Corporation is required to register and file reports with the Federal
Reserve Board and is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, the Federal
Reserve Board has enforcement authority over the Corporation and its non-savings institution subsidiaries, which
also permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to present a serious risk
to the subsidiary savings institution. Beginning July 21, 2015, the Corporation as a savings and loan holding
company will be subject to the same leverage and risk-based capital requirements that apply to insured depository
institutions. See “Federal Regulation of Savings Institutions - Capital Requirements - Possible Changes to Capital
Requirements Resulting from Basel III” on page 44 of this Form 10-K.
Activities Restrictions. The Graham-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (“GLBA”)
provides that no company may acquire control of a savings association after May 4, 1999 unless it engages only in
the financial activities permitted for financial holding companies under the law or for multiple savings and loan
holding companies as described below. The GLBA also specifies, subject to a grandfather provision, that existing
savings and loan holding companies may only engage in such activities. The Corporation qualifies for the
46
grandfathering and is therefore not restricted in terms of its activities. Upon any non-supervisory acquisition by the
company of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, the Corporation would become a multiple savings
and loan holding company and would be limited to those activities permitted multiple savings and loan holding
companies by Federal Reserve Board regulation. Multiple savings and loan holding companies may engage in
activities permitted for financial holding companies, and certain other activities including acting as a trustee under a
deed of trust and real estate investments.
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 43 of this Form 10-K.
Mergers and Acquisitions. The Corporation must obtain approval from the Federal Reserve Board 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 Corporation to acquire control of a savings institution, the Federal Reserve Board 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 DIF, the convenience and the needs of the community and competitive
factors.
The Federal Reserve Board may not approve any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding
company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions; (i) the approval of
interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies and (ii) the acquisition of a savings
institution in another state if the laws of the states of the target savings institution specifically permit such
acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company
acquisitions.
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 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. As noted above, the Dodd-Frank Act imposes additional disclosure and corporate
government requirements and represents further federal involvement in matters historically addressed by state
corporate law.
Federal Taxation
TAXATION
General. The Corporation and the Bank report their income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of
accounting and are 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
47
able to calculate its deduction for bad debts using the percentage-of-taxable-income or the experience method.
Instead, the Bank is 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, 2011, 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. Currently, the
Corporation uses the specific charge off method to account for bad debt deductions for income tax purposes.
Distributions. In the event 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 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 45 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 2011, the Bank did not declare cash dividends to the Corporation while the Corporation declared and paid
$456,000 of cash dividends to shareholders.
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 Corporation’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 2011, there were no shares of restricted common stock
distributed to non-employee members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. There were no options to purchase
shares of the Corporation’s common stock exercised as non-qualified stock options during fiscal 2011. As a result,
there were no federal tax benefits from non-qualified compensation realized in fiscal 2011.
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. Also, the Internal Revenue Service completed a
review of the Corporation’s income tax returns for fiscal 2006 and 2007; and the California Franchise Tax Board
completed a review of the Corporation’s income tax returns for fiscal 2007 and 2008. Tax years subsequent to 2007
remain subject to federal examination, while the California state tax returns for years subsequent to 2004 are subject
to examination by state taxing authorities.
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, 2011, the Corporation’s net state tax rate was 7.0%. 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
48
subject to the general corporate tax rate. There were no state tax benefits from non-qualified compensation realized
in fiscal 2011, as previously described under the Federal Taxation section.
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. The Corporation paid the annual franchise tax of $180,000 in fiscal 2011.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We assume and manage a certain degree of risk in order to conduct our business. 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.
Our business may continue to be adversely affected by downturns in the national economy and the regional
economies on which we depend.
As of June 30, 2011, approximately 85% of our real estate loans were secured by collateral and made to borrowers
located in Southern California. Adverse economic conditions in Southern California has and may continue to reduce
our rate of growth, affect our customers’ ability to repay loans and adversely impact our financial condition and
earnings. General economic conditions, including inflation, unemployment and money supply fluctuations, also
may affect our profitability adversely. Weak economic conditions and ongoing strains in the financial and housing
markets have resulted in higher levels of loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures and a decline in the
values of the collateral securing our loans.
A further deterioration in economic conditions in the market areas we serve could result in the following
consequences, any of which could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results
of operations:
!
!
!
!
!
an increase in loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures;
the slowing of sales of foreclosed assets;
a decline in demand for our products and services;
a continuing decline in the value of collateral for loans may in turn reduce customers’ borrowing power,
and the value of assets and collateral associated with existing loans; and
a decrease in the amount of our low cost or non interest-bearing deposits.
50
We cannot accurately predict the effect of the weakness in the national economy on our future operating
results or the market price of our stock.
The national economy in general and the financial services sector in particular are currently facing challenges of a
scope unprecedented in recent history. We cannot accurately predict the severity or duration of the current
economic downturn, which has adversely impacted our market areas. Any further deterioration in national or local
economic conditions would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects, and could also cause the market price of our stock to decline. While it is
impossible to predict how long these conditions may exist, the current economic downturn could present substantial
risks for some time for the banking industry and for us.
Our business may be adversely affected by credit risk associated with residential property.
At June 30, 2011, $494.2 million, or 54.3% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by single-family residential real
property. This type of lending is generally sensitive to regional and local economic conditions that may
significantly impact the ability of borrowers to meet their loan payment obligations, making loss levels difficult to
predict. The decline in residential real estate values as a result of the downturn in the California housing market has
reduced the value of the real estate collateral securing the majority of our loans and increased the risk that we would
incur losses if borrowers default on their loans. Continued declines in both the volume of real estate sales and the
sales prices, coupled with the current recession and the associated increases in unemployment, may result in higher
loan delinquencies or problem assets, a decline in demand for our products and services, a lack of growth and/or a
decrease in our deposits. These potential negative events may cause us to incur losses, adversely affect our capital
and liquidity and damage our financial condition and business operations. These declines may have a greater effect
on our earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of financial institutions whose loan portfolios are more
diversified.
Our prior emphasis on non-traditional single-family residential loans exposes us to increased lending risk.
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we originated $2.15 billion and $1.80 billion, respectively, in
single-family residential loans. We historically sell the vast majority of the single-family residential loans we
originate and retain the remaining loans in our single-family loan portfolio held for investment. As a result of our
current focus on managing our problem assets, loans originated for investment were limited to $2.1 million and $1.2
million of single-family loans during these same time periods, virtually all of which conform to or satisfy the
requirements for sale in the secondary market.
Prior to fiscal 2009, many of the loans we originated for investment consisted of non-traditional single-family
residential loans that do not conform to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac underwriting guidelines as a result of
characteristics of the borrower or property, the loan terms, loan size or exceptions from agency underwriting
guidelines. In exchange for the additional risk to us associated with these loans, these borrowers generally are
required to pay a higher interest rate, and depending on the credit history, a lower loan-to-value ratio was generally
required than for a conforming loan. Our non-traditional single-family residential loans include interest-only loans,
loans to borrowers who provided limited or no documentation of their income or stated income loans, negative
amortization loans (a loan in which accrued interest exceeding the required monthly loan payment is added to loan
principal up to 115% of the original loan amount), more than 30-year amortization loans, and loans to borrowers
with a FICO score below 660 (these loans are considered subprime by the OCC). Including these low FICO score
loans, as of June 30, 2011, borrowers of our single-family residential loans held for investment had a weighted
average FICO score of 733 at the time of origination.
As of June 30, 2011, these non-traditional loans totaled $384.4 million, comprising 77.9% of total single-family
residential loans held for investment and 42.3% of total loans held for investment. At that date, interest-only loans
totaled $241.6 million, stated income loans totaled $257.2 million, negative amortization loans totaled $7.6 million,
more than 30-year amortization loans totaled $18.7 million, and low FICO score loans totaled $15.2 million (the
outstanding balances described may overlap more than one category). In the case of interest-only loans, a
borrower’s monthly payment is subject to change when the loan converts to fully-amortizing status. Of the $241.6
million of interest-only loans, $115.4 million begin to fully amortize within five years and $126.2 million begin to
fully amortize after five years. Since the borrower’s monthly payment may increase by a substantial amount even
51
without an increase in prevailing market interest rates, there is no assurance that the borrower will be able to afford
the increased monthly payment at the time of conversion. Additionally, lower prevailing prices for residential real
estate may make it difficult for borrowers to sell their homes to pay off their mortgages and tightened underwriting
standards may make it difficult for borrowers to refinance their loan prior to the time of conversion to fully-
amortizing status. At June 30, 2011, $21.9 million of our interest-only single-family residential loans were non-
performing and $400,000 were 30-89 days delinquent.
In the case of stated income loans, a borrower may misrepresent his income or source of income (which we have not
verified) 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. At June 30, 2011, $28.9 million of our stated income single-family
residential loans were non-performing and $990,000 were 30-89 days delinquent.
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 or her monthly payment obligations. At June 30,
2011, $2.3 million of our more than 30-year amortization single-family residential loans were non-performing and
none were 30-89 days delinquent.
Negative amortization involves a greater risk to us because credit risk exposure increases when the loan incurs
negative amortization and the value of the home serving as collateral for the loan does not increase proportionally.
Negative amortization is only permitted up to a specified level and the payment on such loans is subject to increased
payments when the level is reached, adjusting periodically as provided in the loan documents and potentially
resulting in higher payments by the borrower. The adjustment of these loans to higher payment requirements can be
a substantial factor in higher loan delinquency levels because the borrowers may not be able to make the higher
payments. Also, real estate values may decline and credit standards may tighten in concert with the higher payment
requirement, making it difficult for borrowers to sell their homes or refinance their mortgages to pay off their
mortgage obligation.
Non-conforming single-family residential loans are considered to have an increased risk of delinquency, default and
foreclosure than conforming loans and may result in higher levels of realized loss. We have experienced such
increased delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, and cannot assure you that our single-family loans will not be
further adversely affected in the event of a further downturn in regional or national economic conditions.
Consequently, we could sustain loan losses greater than we currently estimate and potentially need to record a
higher provision for loan losses. Furthermore, non-conforming loans are not as readily saleable as loans that
conform to agency guidelines and often can be sold only after discounting the amortized value of the loan. As of
June 30, 2011, 7.6% of such loans, totaling $28.3 million, were in non-performing status, compared to 9.9% of such
loans, totaling $44.6 million, in non-performing status as of June 30, 2010 and 9.2% of such loans, totaling $53.0
million, in non-performing status as of June 30, 2009.
High loan-to-value ratios on a significant portion of our residential mortgage loan portfolio exposes us to
greater risk of loss.
Many of our residential mortgage loans are secured by liens on mortgage properties in which the borrowers have
little or no equity because either we originated a first mortgage with an 80% loan-to-value ratio and a concurrent
second mortgage for sale with a combined loan-to-value ratio of up to 100% or because of the decline in home
values in our market areas. Residential loans with high loan-to-value ratios will be more sensitive to declining
property values than those with lower combined loan-to-value ratios and therefore may experience a higher
incidence of default and severity of losses. In addition, if the borrowers sell their homes, such borrowers may be
unable to repay their loans in full from the sale. As a result, these loans may experience higher rates of
delinquencies, defaults and losses.
52
Our multi-family and commercial real estate loans involve higher principal amounts than other loans and
repayment of these loans may be dependent on factors outside our control or the control of our borrowers.
We originate multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans for individuals and businesses for various
purposes, which are secured by residential and non-residential properties. At June 30, 2011, we had $408.4 million
or 44.9% of total loans held for investment in multi-family and commercial real estate mortgage loans. These loans
typically involve higher principal amounts than other types of loans, and repayment is dependent upon income
generated, or expected to be generated, by the property securing the loan in amounts sufficient to cover operating
expenses and debt service, which may be adversely affected by changes in the economy or local market conditions.
For example, if the cash flow from the borrower’s project is reduced as a result of leases not being obtained or
renewed, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans
also expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by single-family residential real estate because the
collateral securing these loans typically cannot be sold as easily as single-family residential real estate. In addition,
many of our multi-family and commercial real estate loans are not fully amortizing and contain large balloon
payments upon maturity. Such balloon payments may require the borrower to either sell or refinance the underlying
property to make the payment, which may increase the risk of default or non-payment.
If we foreclose on a multi-family or commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral typically is
longer than for a single-family residential mortgage loan because there are fewer potential purchasers of the
collateral. Additionally, multi-family and commercial real estate loans generally have relatively large balances to
single borrowers or related groups of borrowers. Accordingly, charge-offs on multi-family and commercial real
estate loans may be larger on a per loan basis than those incurred with our single-family residential or consumer loan
portfolios.
Our provision for loan losses increased substantially during recent years and we may be required to make
further increases in our provision for loan losses and to charge-off additional loans in the future, which could
adversely affect our results of operations.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 we recorded a provision for loan losses of $5.5 million and $21.8
million, respectively. We also recorded net loan charge-offs of $18.5 million and $23.8 million for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Adverse conditions in the general economy and our markets have been
a significant contributing factor to increased levels of loan delinquencies and non-performing assets during the past
two fiscal years. General economic conditions, decreased home prices, slower sales and excess inventory in the
housing market have caused delinquencies and foreclosures of our single-family residential loans to remain high
during the past two fiscal years. Single-family residential loans and properties represented 85.0% of our non-
performing assets at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2011, our total non-performing assets had decreased to $45.5
million compared to $73.5 million at June 30, 2010 and $88.3 million at June 30, 2009. Our allowance for loan
losses was 3.34% of gross loans held for investment and 59.49% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2011.
Further, our single-family residential loan portfolio, which comprised 54.3% of our total loan portfolio at June 30,
2011, is concentrated in non-traditional single-family loans, which include interest-only loans, negative amortization
and more than 30-year amortization loans, stated income loans and low FICO score loans, all of which have a higher
risk of default and loss than conforming residential mortgage loans. See “Our emphasis on non-traditional single-
family residential loans exposes us to increased lending risk” above.
If current trends in the residential and commercial real estate markets continue, we expect that we will continue to
experience increased delinquencies and credit losses. Moreover, until general economic conditions improve, we will
likely continue to experience significant delinquencies and credit losses. As a result, we may be required to make
further increases in our provision for loan losses and to charge off additional loans in the future, which could
materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur net losses and experience continuing variation in our operating results.
We reported net income of $13.2 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively; however, we recorded a net loss of $7.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The loss in
fiscal 2009 primarily resulted from our high level of non-performing assets and the resultant increased provision for
53
loan losses. Although we were profitable for fiscal 2011 and 2010 and our non-performing assets have declined, we
continue to monitor the levels of non-performing assets and provisions for loan losses, as significant increases in our
non-performing assets and provision for loan losses could cause us to incur net losses in future quarterly or annual
periods. In addition, several factors affecting our business can cause significant variations in our quarterly and
annual results of operations. In particular, variations in the volume of our loan originations and sales, the
differences between our costs of funds and the average interest rates of originated or purchased loans, our inability
to complete significant loan sale transactions in a particular quarter and problems generally affecting the mortgage
loan industry can result in significant increases or decreases in our revenues from quarter to quarter. A delay in
closing a particular loan sale transaction during a quarter or year could postpone recognition of the gain on sale of
loans. If we were unable to sell a sufficient number of loans at a premium in a particular reporting period, our
revenues for such period would decline, resulting in lower net income and possibly a net loss for such period, which
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio.
Lending money is a substantial part of our business and each loan carries a certain risk that it will not be repaid in
accordance with its terms or that any underlying collateral will not be sufficient to assure repayment. This risk is
affected by, among other things:
!
!
!
!
!
cash flow of the borrower and/or the project being financed;
the changes and uncertainties as to the future value of the collateral, in the case of a collateralized loan;
the duration of the loan;
the credit history of a particular borrower; and
changes in economic and industry conditions.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged
to expense, which we believe is appropriate to provide for probable losses in our loan portfolio. The amount of this
allowance is determined by management through periodic reviews and consideration of several factors, including,
but not limited to:
!
!
our general reserve, based on our historical default and loss experience and certain macroeconomic factors
based on management’s expectations of future events; and
our specific reserve, based on our evaluation of non-performing loans and their underlying collateral.
The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of
subjectivity and requires us to make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan
portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as
collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we
review our loans and loss and delinquency experience, and evaluate economic conditions and make significant
estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. If our estimates are
incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting
in the need for additions to our allowance through an increase in the provision for loan losses. Continuing
deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of
additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the
allowance for loan losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses
and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs,
based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the
allowance for loan losses, we will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses. Any
increases in the provision for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and may have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations and capital.
If our investments in real estate are not properly valued or sufficiently reserved to cover actual losses, or if we
are required to increase our valuation reserves, our earnings could be reduced.
We obtain updated valuations in the form of appraisals and broker price opinions when a loan has been foreclosed
upon and the property taken in as REO and at certain other times during the assets holding period. Our net book
54
value (“NBV”) in the loan at the time of foreclosure and thereafter is compared to the updated market value of the
foreclosed property less estimated selling costs (“fair value”). A charge-off is recorded for any excess in the asset’s
NBV over its fair value. If our valuation process is incorrect, the fair value of the investments in real estate may not
be sufficient to recover our NBV in such assets, resulting in the need for additional charge-offs. Additional material
charge-offs to our investments in real estate could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
In addition, bank regulators periodically review our REO and may require us to recognize further charge-offs. Any
increase in our charge-offs, as required by the bank regulators, may have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
An increase in interest rates, change in the programs offered by governmental sponsored entities (“GSE”) or
our ability to qualify for such programs may reduce our mortgage revenues, which would negatively impact
our non-interest income.
Our mortgage banking operations provide a significant portion of our non-interest income. We generate mortgage
revenues primarily from gains on the sale of single-family residential loans pursuant to programs currently offered
by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and non-GSE investors on a servicing released basis. These entities account for a
substantial portion of the secondary market in residential mortgage loans. Any future changes in these programs, our
eligibility to participate in such programs, the criteria for loans to be accepted or laws that significantly affect the
activity of such entities could, in turn, materially adversely affect our results of operations. Further, in a rising or
higher interest rate environment, our originations of mortgage loans may decrease, resulting in fewer loans that are
available to be sold to investors. This would result in a decrease in mortgage revenues and a corresponding decrease
in non-interest income. In addition, our results of operations are affected by the amount of non-interest expense
associated with mortgage banking activities, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment and data
processing expense and other operating costs. During periods of reduced loan demand, our results of operations may
be adversely affected to the extent that we are unable to reduce expenses commensurate with the decline in loan
originations.
Secondary mortgage market conditions could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and
earnings.
In addition to being affected by interest rates, the secondary mortgage markets are also subject to investor demand
for single-family residential loans and mortgage-backed securities and increased investor yield requirements for
those loans and securities. These conditions may fluctuate or even worsen in the future. In light of current
conditions, there is a higher risk to retaining a larger portion of mortgage loans than we would in other environments
until they are sold to investors. We believe our ability to retain mortgage loans is limited. As a result, a prolonged
period of secondary market illiquidity may reduce our loan production volumes and could have a material adverse
impact on our future earnings and financial condition.
Any breach of representations and warranties made by us to our loan purchasers or credit default on our
loan sales may require us to repurchase or substitute such loans we have sold.
We engage in bulk loan sales pursuant to agreements that generally require us to repurchase or substitute loans in the
event of a breach of a representation or warranty made by us to the loan purchaser. Any misrepresentation during
the mortgage loan origination process or, in some cases, upon any fraud or early payment default on such mortgage
loans, may require us to repurchase or substitute loans. Any claims asserted against us in the future by one of our
loan purchasers may result in liabilities or legal expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition. At June 30, 2011 we had $6.4 million in loan repurchase requests that we are
currently contesting. However, many additional repurchase requests were settled, an aggregate of $2.0 million, $3.4
million and $2.1 million in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that did not result in the repurchase of the loan
itself.
55
Hedging against interest rate exposure may adversely affect our earnings.
We employ techniques that limit, or “hedge,” the adverse effects of rising interest rates on our loans held for sale,
originated interest rate locks and our mortgage servicing asset. Our hedging activity varies based on the level and
volatility of interest rates and other changing market conditions. These techniques may include purchasing or selling
futures contracts, purchasing put and call options on securities or securities underlying futures contracts, or entering
into other mortgage-backed derivatives. There are, however, no perfect hedging strategies, and interest rate hedging
may fail to protect us from loss. Moreover, hedging activities could result in losses if the event against which we
hedge does not occur. Additionally, interest rate hedging could fail to protect us or adversely affect us because,
among other things:
!
!
!
!
!
!
available interest rate hedging may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is
sought;
the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability;
the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay;
the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it
impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction;
the value of derivatives used for hedging may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with accounting
rules to reflect changes in fair value; and
downward adjustments, or “mark-to-market losses,” would reduce our stockholders’ equity.
Fluctuating interest rates can adversely affect our profitability.
Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference, or spread, between
the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits, borrowings,
and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of our
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in
interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. We principally manage
interest rate risk by managing the volume and mix of our earning assets and funding liabilities. In a changing interest
rate environment, we may not be able to manage this risk effectively. Changes in interest rates also can affect: (1)
our ability to originate and/or sell loans; (2) the value of our interest-earning assets, which would negatively impact
stockholders’ equity, and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets; (3) our ability to obtain and retain
deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; and (4) the ability of our borrowers to repay
adjustable or variable rate loans. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including government monetary
policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. If we
are unable to manage interest rate risk effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could
be materially harmed.
Additionally, a substantial majority of our single-family mortgage loans held for investment are adjustable rate
loans. Any rise in prevailing market interest rates may result in increased payments for borrowers who have
adjustable rate mortgage loans, increasing the possibility of default.
Financial reform legislation enacted by Congress will, among other things, tighten capital standards, create a
new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and result in new laws and regulations that are expected to
increase our costs of operations.
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank Act). This new law will significantly change the current bank regulatory structure and affect the
lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and
regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant
discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the
impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.
Among the many requirements in the Dodd-Frank Act for new banking regulations is a requirement for new capital
regulations to be adopted within 18 months. These regulations must be at least as stringent as, and may call for
56
higher levels of capital than, current regulations. In addition, the banking regulators are required to seek to make
capital requirements for banks and bank holding companies, countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in
times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.
Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to have a near term impact on us. For example, effective one
year after the date of enactment, the Dodd-Frank Act eliminates the federal prohibitions on paying interest on
demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to have interest-bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive
responses, this significant change to existing law could have an adverse impact on our interest expense.
The Dodd-Frank Act also broadens the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the
average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also
permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to
$250,000 per depositor and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts and IOLTA accounts have unlimited deposit
insurance through December 31, 2012.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive
compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments and authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission
to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate their own candidates using a company’s proxy
materials. The legislation also directs the federal banking regulators to issue rules prohibiting incentive
compensation that encourages inappropriate risks. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to
promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of
whether the company is publicly traded or not.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and
enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for
a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to
prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has
examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets.
Financial institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, such as the Bank, will continue to be examined for
compliance with the consumer laws by their primary bank regulators.
The Dodd-Frank Act also eliminated the OTS effective July 21, 2011. With the elimination of the OTS, the OCC is
now the primary federal banking regulator for the Bank, making the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System the primary federal banking regulator for the Corporation, eventually imposing capital requirements on the
Corporation and implementing numerous other changes. No assurances can be given as to whether or in what form
such changes may occur.
Increases in deposit insurance premiums and special FDIC assessments will hurt our earnings.
FDIC insurance premiums increased significantly in 2009 and we may pay higher FDIC premiums in the future.
The Dodd-Frank Act established 1.35% as the minimum reserve ratio. The FDIC has adopted a plan under which it
will meet this ratio by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2020. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to
offset the effect on institutions with assets less than $10 billion of the increase in the minimum reserve ratio to
1.35% from the former minimum of 1.15%. The FDIC has not announced how it will implement this offset. In
addition to the statutory minimum ratio, the FDIC must set a designated reserve ratio or DRR, which may exceed the
statutory minimum. The FDIC has set 2.0 as the DRR.
As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC has adopted final regulations under which insurance premiums are
based on an institution's total assets minus its tangible equity instead of its deposits. While our FDIC insurance
premiums initially will be reduced by these regulations, it is possible that our future insurance premiums will
increase under the final regulations.
57
Continued weak or worsening credit availability could limit our ability to replace deposits and fund loan
demand, which could adversely affect our earnings and capital levels.
Continued weak or worsening credit availability and the inability to obtain adequate funding to replace deposits and
fund continued loan growth may negatively affect asset growth and, consequently, our earnings capability and
capital levels. In addition to any deposit growth, maturity of investment securities and loan payments, we rely from
time to time on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, borrowings from the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco and certain other wholesale funding sources to fund loans and replace deposits. If the
economy does not improve or continues to deteriorate, these additional funding sources could be negatively affected,
which could limit the funds available to us. Our liquidity position could be significantly constrained if we are unable
to access funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or
other wholesale funding sources.
Our growth or future losses may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not
be available when it is needed or the cost of that capital may be very high.
We are required by federal regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations.
Currently, we believe our capital resources satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we
may at some point need to raise additional capital to support continued growth.
Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which
are outside of our control, and on our financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we cannot make assurances
that we will be able to raise additional capital if needed on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we cannot
raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations could be materially impaired and
our financial condition and liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.
New or changing tax, accounting, and regulatory rules and interpretations could significantly impact
strategic initiatives, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
The financial services industry is extensively regulated. Federal and state banking regulations are designed
primarily to protect the deposit insurance funds and consumers, not to benefit a company’s stockholders. These
regulations may sometimes impose significant limitations on operations. The significant federal and state banking
regulations that affect us are described in this report under the heading “Item 1. Business – Regulation.” These
regulations, along with the currently existing tax, accounting, securities, insurance, and monetary laws, regulations,
rules, standards, policies, and interpretations control the methods by which financial institutions conduct business,
implement strategic initiatives and tax compliance, and govern financial reporting and disclosures. These laws,
regulations, rules, standards, policies, and interpretations are constantly evolving and may change significantly over
time.
Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer,
restrict mergers and acquisitions, investments, access to capital, the location of banking offices, and/or increase the
ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. For example, a federal
rule which took effect on July 1, 2010 prohibits a financial institution from automatically enrolling customers in
overdraft protection programs, on ATM and one-time debit card transactions, unless a consumer consents, or opts in,
to the overdraft service. This new rule adversely affected our non-interest income during the second half of 2010
and is likely to continue to adversely affect the results of our operations by reducing the amount of our non-interest
income.
Our success depends on our continued ability to maintain compliance with the various regulations to which we are
subject. Some of these regulations may increase our costs and thus place other financial institutions in stronger,
more favorable competitive positions. We cannot predict what restrictions may be imposed upon us with future
legislation.
58
Our litigation related costs might continue to increase.
The Bank is subject to a variety of legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of the Bank’s business.
In the current economic environment, the Bank’s involvement in litigation has increased significantly, primarily as a
result of defaulted borrowers asserting claims to defeat or delay foreclosure proceedings. The Bank believes that it
has meritorious defenses in legal actions where it has been named as a defendant and is vigorously defending these
suits. Although management, based on discussion with litigation counsel, believes that such proceedings will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Bank, there can be no assurance that a
resolution of any such legal matters will not result in significant liability to the Bank nor have a material adverse
impact on its financial condition and results of operations or the Bank’s ability to meet applicable regulatory
requirements. Moreover, the expenses of pending legal proceedings will adversely affect the Bank’s results of
operations until they are resolved. There can be no assurance that the Bank’s loan workout and other activities will
not expose the Bank to additional legal actions, including lender liability or environmental claims.
Earthquakes, fires 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, fires 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, although we have not experienced any losses in the past six years as a
result of earthquake damage or other natural disaster. 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.
Our assets as of June 30, 2011 include a deferred tax asset, the full value of which we may not be able to
realize.
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2011, the net deferred tax asset was approximately
$10.2 million, a decrease from a balance of approximately $13.8 million at June 30, 2010. The net deferred tax asset
results primarily from our provisions for loan losses recorded for financial reporting purposes, which has been
significantly larger than net loan charge-offs deducted for tax reporting proposes.
As a result of our follow-on stock offering in December 2009, we may experience an “ownership change” as defined
under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which is generally a greater than 50
percentage point increase by certain “5% shareholders” over a rolling three-year period). Section 382 imposes an
annual limitation on the utilization of deferred tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards and other tax
attributes, once an ownership change has occurred. Depending on the size of the annual limitation (which is in part a
function of our market capitalization at the time of the ownership change) and the remaining carryforward period of
the tax assets (U.S. federal net operating losses generally may be carried forward for a period of 20 years), we could
realize a permanent loss of a portion of our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and certain built-in losses that
have not been recognized for tax purposes.
We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability based on our history of earnings, expectations for
future earnings and expected timing of reversals of temporary differences. Realization of deferred tax assets
ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income, including taxable income in prior carryback years,
as well as future taxable income. We believe the recorded net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2011 is fully realizable
based on our expected future earnings; however, we will not know the impact of the recent ownership change until
we complete our fiscal 2011 tax return. Based on our preliminary analysis of the actual impact of the “ownership
change” on our deferred tax assets, we believe that the impact on our deferred tax asset is unlikely to be material.
This is a preliminary and complex analysis and requires us to make certain judgments in determining the annual
limitation. As a result, it is possible that we could ultimately lose a significant portion of our deferred tax assets,
which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

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. This Form 10-K contains statements that the Corporation believes are “forward-
looking statements.” These statements relate to the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, plans,
objectives, future performance or business. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are
subject to risks and uncertainties. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep these risks
and uncertainties in mind, as well as any cautionary statements the Corporation may make. Moreover, you should
treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually
known to the Corporation. There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ
materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the credit risks of lending activities, including changes in
the level and trend of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in our allowance for loan losses and provision
for loan losses that may be impacted by deterioration in the residential and commercial real estate markets; changes
in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest
rates, and the relative differences between short and long term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest
margin and funding sources; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other properties
and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; secondary market conditions for loans and our ability to
sell loans in the secondary market; results of examinations of the Corporation by the Federal Reserve Board and of
our bank subsidiary by the Office of Comptroller of the Currency or other regulatory authorities, including the
possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require us to enter into a formal enforcement
action or to increase our allowance for loan losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or
affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and
earnings; legislative or regulatory changes, such as the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations, that
adversely affect our business, as well as changes in regulatory policies and principles or the interpretation of
regulatory capital or other rules; our ability to attract and retain deposits; further increases in premiums for deposit
insurance; our ability to control operating costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of
certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;
difficulties in reducing risk associated with the loans on our balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to
product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated
charges; computer systems on which we depend could fail or experience a security breach; our ability to implement
our branch expansion strategy; our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and
management personnel we have acquired or may in the future acquire into our operations and our ability to realize
related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto;
our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; our ability to retain key members of our senior management team;
costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments; increased competitive pressures among financial
62
services companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the availability of resources to
address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; our ability to pay dividends on our
common stock; adverse changes in the securities markets; the inability of key third-party providers to perform their
obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution
regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board; war or terrorist activities; other economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and
services and other risks detailed in this report and in the Corporation’s other reports filed with or furnished to the
SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the
Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. 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.
The allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management, which has a material
impact on the carrying value of net loans. Management considers the accounting estimate related to the allowance
for loan losses a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period,
requiring management to make assumptions about probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the
balance sheet date. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions
to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.
The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (i) ASC 450, “Contingencies,” which requires that losses
be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated; and (ii) ASC 310, “Receivables,” 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. However, if the loan is
“collateral-dependent” or foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.
Management reviews impaired loans on quarterly basis. When the measure of an impaired loan is less than the
recorded investment in the loan, the Corporation records a specific valuation allowance equal to the excess of the
recorded investment in the loan over its measured value, which is updated quarterly. The allowance has two
components: a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans and a specific valuation allowance for identified
problem loans. Each of these components is based upon estimates that can change over time. A general loan loss
allowance is provided on loans not specifically identified as impaired. The general loan loss allowance is
determined based on a qualitative and a quantitative analysis using a loss migration methodology. The formula
allowance is based primarily on historical experience and as a result can differ from actual losses incurred in the
future; and qualitative factors such as unemployment data, gross domestic product, interest rates, retail sales, the
value of real estate and real estate market conditions. The history is reviewed at least quarterly and adjustments are
made as needed. Various techniques are used to arrive at specific loss estimates, including historical loss
information, discounted cash flows and the fair market value of collateral. The use of these techniques is inherently
subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. For further details, see “Comparison of
Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 - Provision for Loan Losses” on pages 69 and 73 of
this Form 10-K. See also Item 1. “Business – Delinquencies and Classified Assets – Allowance for Loan Losses”
on page 28 of this Form 10-K.
Interest is not accrued on any loan when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent or if the loan is
deemed impaired. In addition, interest is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that
collection is not reasonably assured. A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal
and interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be
collected.
ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires that derivatives of the Corporation be recorded in the consolidated
financial statements at fair value. Management considers its accounting policy for derivatives to be a critical
63
accounting policy because these instruments have certain interest rate risk characteristics that change in value based
upon changes in the capital markets. The Bank’s derivatives are primarily the result of its mortgage banking
activities in the form of commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, commitments to sell MBS and
option contracts to mitigate the risk of the commitments to extend credit. 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.
Management accounts for income taxes by estimating future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax
and book basis of assets and liabilities considering the provisions of enacted tax laws. These differences result in
deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are
voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, management is required to make many subjective assumptions and
judgments regarding the Corporation’s income tax exposures, including judgments in determining the amount and
timing of recognition of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities, including projections of future taxable
income. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such,
changes in management’s subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Operations. Therefore,
management considers its accounting for income taxes a critical accounting policy.
Executive Summary and Operating Strategy
Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B., established in 1956, is a financial services company committed to serving
consumers and small to mid-sized businesses in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Bank
conducts its business operations as Provident Bank, Provident Bank Mortgage, a division of the Bank, and through
its subsidiary, Provident Financial Corp. The business activities of the Corporation, primarily through the Bank and
its subsidiary, consist of community banking, mortgage banking and, to a lesser degree, investment services for
customers and trustee services on behalf of the Bank.
Community banking operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities
surrounding the Bank’s full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-family, commercial real
estate, construction, commercial business, consumer and other loans. The primary source of income in community
banking is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and investment
securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds. Additionally, certain fees
are collected from depositors, such as returned check fees, deposit account service charges, ATM fees, IRA/KEOGH
fees, safe deposit box fees, travelers check fees, wire transfer fees and overdraft protection fees, among others. As a
result of a federal rule which took effect July 6, 2010, the Bank may no longer collect overdraft protection fees
unless the consumer consents, or opts in, to the overdraft service; this is expected to reduce significantly the amount
the Bank collects on overdraft protection fees. During the next three years, although not immediately given the
uncertain environment, the Corporation intends to improve the community banking business by moderately growing
total assets; by decreasing the concentration of single-family mortgage loans within loans held for investment; and
by increasing the concentration of higher yielding multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and
commercial business loans (which are sometimes referred to in this report as “preferred loans”). In addition, over
time, the Corporation intends to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the
percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts. This strategy is intended to improve core revenue through
a higher net interest margin and ultimately, coupled with the growth of the Corporation, an increase in net interest
income. While the Corporation’s long-term strategy is for moderate growth, management recognizes that the
current general economic environment has resulted in less opportunity for profitable growth in the short term.
Therefore, management has allocated the Corporation’s resources on improving asset quality, strengthening
regulatory capital ratios and mitigating liquidity risk.
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. The Corporation will continue to modify
its operations in response to the rapidly changing mortgage banking environment. Most recently, the Corporation
64
has been increasing the number of mortgage banking personnel to capitalize on the increasing loan demand, the
result of significantly lower mortgage interest rates. Changes may also include a different product mix, further
tightening of underwriting standards, variations in its operating expenses or a combination of these and other
changes.
Provident Financial Corp performs trustee services for the Bank’s real estate secured loan transactions and has in the
past held, and may in the future, hold real estate for investment.
There are a number of risks associated with the business activities of the Corporation, many of which are beyond the
Corporation’s control, including: changes in accounting principles, laws, regulation, interest rates and the economy,
among others. The Corporation attempts to mitigate many of these risks through prudent banking practices such as
interest rate risk, credit risk, operational risk and liquidity risk management. The current economic environment
presents heightened risk for the Corporation primarily with respect to falling real estate values and higher loan
delinquencies. Declining real estate values may lead to higher loan losses since the majority of the Corporation’s
loans are secured by real estate located within California. Significant declines in the value of California real estate
may inhibit the Corporation’s ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate. The
Corporation’s operating costs may increase significantly as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act. Many aspects of the
Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the
overall financial impact on us. For further details on risk factors, see “Forward-Looking Statement” on page 62 and
“Item 1A – Risk Factors” on page 50.
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 their 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, loan sale commitments to third parties
65
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 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. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, these commitments were $107.7 million and
$146.7 million, respectively.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010
Total assets decreased $84.9 million, or 6%, to $1.31 billion at June 30, 2011 from $1.40 billion at June 30, 2010.
The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease of $124.7 million in loans held for investment, partly offset by an
increase of $46.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $21.4 million in loans held for sale. The
managed decline in total assets was consistent with the Corporation’s desire to reduce its credit risk profile in
response to current economic conditions and to provide sufficient balance sheet capacity for its mortgage banking
operations.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $46.4 million, or 48%, to $142.6 million at June 30, 2011 from $96.2
million at June 30, 2010. The relatively high level of liquidity is consistent with the Corporation’s strategy to
mitigate liquidity risk during the current economic uncertainty and difficult banking environment.
Total investment securities decreased $8.8 million, or 25%, to $26.2 million at June 30, 2011 from $35.0 million at
June 30, 2010. A total of $5.5 million of principal payments were received on mortgage-backed securities, $3.3
million of agency debt securities were called by the issuer and no investment securities were purchased during fiscal
2011. The principal reduction of mortgage-backed securities was primarily attributable to mortgage prepayments
and the scheduled principal payments of the underlying mortgage loans. The Bank evaluates individual investment
securities quarterly for other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) declines in market value. The Bank does not believe that
there are any other-than-temporary impairments at June 30, 2011; therefore, no impairment losses have been
recorded for fiscal 2011. See details of the OTTI discussion in Note 1 on Investment Securities of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Loans held for investment decreased $124.7 million, or 12%, to $881.6 million at June 30, 2011 from $1.01 billion
at June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily a result of $106.0 million of loan prepayments and $47.3 million of
real estate acquired in the settlement of loans, which was partly offset by $6.2 million of loans originated for
investment and $7.1 million of loans purchased. The decrease in loans held for investment was consistent with the
short-term operating strategy to improve capital ratios and mitigate credit and liquidity risk.
The following tables describe the geographic distribution of real estate secured loans held for investment at June 30,
2011 and 2010, as a percentage of the total dollar amount outstanding (dollars in thousands):

During fiscal 2011, the Bank originated $2.15 billion in new loans, primarily through PBM, and purchased $7.1
million of loans, primarily multi-family loans, from other financial institutions. A total of $2.12 billion of loans
were sold during fiscal 2011. PBM loan production was sold primarily on a servicing released basis. The total loan
origination volume was higher than last year, due primarily to relatively low mortgage interest rates, a less
competitive mortgage banking environment and more stable, though still weakened, real estate market.
The outstanding balance of loans held for sale increased $21.4 million, or 13%, to $191.7 million at June 30, 2011
from $170.3 million at June 30, 2010. The increase was due primarily to higher loan originations and the timing
difference between loan originations and loan sale settlements. The increase in loan originations was primarily
attributable to relatively low mortgage interest rates and less competition. Actions by the Department of Treasury
and Federal Reserve in response to the credit crisis resulted in the ancillary benefit of lower mortgage interest rates,
and the slow pace of the economic recovery has led the Federal Reserve to refrain from taking action to cause
interest rates to increase.
Total real estate owned was $8.3 million at June 30, 2011, down $6.4 million, or 44%, from $14.7 million at June
30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, real estate owned was comprised of 54 properties, primarily single-family residences
and single-family undeveloped lots located in Southern California. This compares to 77 real estate owned properties
at June 30, 2010, primarily single-family residences and single-family undeveloped lots located in Southern
California. The decrease in real estate owned was due primarily to better execution on the sale and disposition of
real estate owned properties, which was partly offset by new foreclosures on delinquent loans. During fiscal 2011,
the Bank acquired 113 real estate owned properties in the settlement of loans and sold 136 properties.
FHLB – San Francisco stock decreased $4.8 million to $27.0 million at June 30, 2011 from $31.8 million at June 30,
2010, due to partial stock redemptions in fiscal 2011. The FHLB – San Francisco has a stated desire to strengthen
its capital ratios and has been doing so by redeeming fewer shares from those members, including the Bank, with
excess stock holdings. As of June 30, 2011, the required FHLB – San Francisco stock holding was $14.0 million
resulting in an excess stock holding of $13.0 million.
Total prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $6.1 million, or 18%, to $28.6 million at June 30, 2011 from
$34.7 million at June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in the FDIC prepaid insurance
premium of $2.0 million; in the deferred tax asset of $3.6 million; and in derivative financial instruments of $1.6
million.
Total deposits increased $12.9 million, or 1%, to $945.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $932.9 million at June 30,
2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in transaction accounts, which was partly offset by a
decrease in time deposits. Transaction accounts increased $14.3 million, or 3%, to $472.3 million at June 30, 2011
from $458.0 million at June 30, 2010; while time deposits decreased $1.4 million to $473.5 million at June 30, 2011
from $474.9 million at June 30, 2010. The total time deposits include brokered deposits of $12.2 million at June 30,
2011, down from $19.6 million at June 30, 2010 due to the maturity of $7.4 million in fiscal 2011. The increase in
transaction accounts was primarily attributable to the Bank’s marketing strategy to promote transaction accounts and
the strategic decision to compete less aggressively on time deposit interest rates.
67
Borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased $103.0 million, or 33%, to $206.6 million at
June 30, 2011 from $309.6 million at June 30, 2010. FHLB – San Francisco advances were primarily used to
supplement the funding needs of the Bank. The decrease was due to scheduled maturities of $133.0 million, partly
offset by new advances of $30.0 million, consistent with the Corporation’s fiscal 2011 short-term strategy to
deleverage the balance sheet. The weighted-average maturity of the Bank’s FHLB – San Francisco advances was
approximately 29 months at June 30, 2011, as compared to the weighted-average maturity of 19 months at June 30,
2010.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $14.0 million, or 11%, to $141.7 million at June 30, 2011, from $127.7 million
at June 30, 2010, primarily as a result of net income, partly offset by the quarterly cash dividends paid during fiscal
2011. During fiscal 2011, no stock options were exercised and no common stock was repurchased. The total cash
dividend paid to the Corporation’s shareholders during fiscal 2011 was $456,000.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
General. The Corporation recorded net income of $13.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2011, as compared to a net income of $1.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2010. The $12.1 million improvement in net income in fiscal 2011 was attributable to a $16.4
million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $14.1 million increase in non-interest income, partly offset by
a $7.2 million increase in non-interest expense, a $1.9 million decrease in net interest income before provision for
loan losses and a $9.3 million increase in provision for income taxes. The Corporation’s efficiency ratio, defined as
non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income, before provision for loan losses, and non-interest
income, improved slightly to 61% in fiscal 2011 from 62% in fiscal 2010. Return on average assets in fiscal 2011
increased to 0.97% from 0.08% in fiscal 2010. Return on average equity in fiscal 2011 increased to 9.74% from
0.94% in fiscal 2010.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $1.9 million, or 5%, to $37.7
million in fiscal 2011 from $39.6 million in fiscal 2010. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in
average earning assets, partly offset by an increase in the net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets
decreased $95.1 million, or 7%, to $1.30 billion in fiscal 2011 from $1.40 billion in fiscal 2010. The net interest
margin increased seven basis points to 2.90% in fiscal 2011 from 2.83% in fiscal 2010.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $11.5 million, or 16%, to $58.7 million for fiscal 2011 from $70.2
million for fiscal 2010. The decrease in interest income was primarily a result of decreases in the average balance
and the average yield of earning assets. The decrease in average earning assets was primarily attributable to the
decrease in loans receivable and investment securities, partly offset by an increase in interest-earning deposits. The
average yield on earning assets decreased 52 basis points to 4.50% in fiscal 2011 from 5.02% in fiscal 2010. The
decrease in the average yield on earning assets was the result of a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable
and investment securities during fiscal 2011. The declining yield of interest-earning assets was attributable to the
downward repricing of loans and investment securities, a lower average balance of loans which generally have
higher yields and a higher level of excess liquidity invested at a nominal yield. The decline in the average earning
assets was consistent with the current short-term strategy of maintaining capital ratios, improving liquidity and
reducing credit risk.
Loan interest income decreased $10.3 million, or 15%, to $57.4 million in fiscal 2011 from $67.7 million in fiscal
2010. This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan balance and a lower average loan yield. The average
balance of loans receivable decreased $103.5 million, or 9%, to $1.11 billion during fiscal 2011 from $1.21 billion
during fiscal 2010. The average loan yield during fiscal 2011 decreased 40 basis points to 5.18% from 5.58%
during fiscal 2010. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to payoffs of loans which had a
higher yield than the average yield of loans held for investment, adjustable-rate loans repricing to lower interest
rates and new non-performing loans, which required interest income reversals. The decrease in the average balance
of loans receivable was attributable to loan repayments and the origination of fewer loans for investment. Total non-
performing loans decreased to $37.1 million at June 30, 2011 from $58.8 million at June 30, 2010.
68
Interest income from investment securities decreased $1.3 million, or 63%, to $798,000 in fiscal 2011 from $2.1
million in fiscal 2010. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in the average balance and a decrease in
the average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased $26.7 million, or 47%, to $30.4 million in
fiscal 2011 from $57.1 million in fiscal 2010. During fiscal 2011, the Bank did not purchase any investment
securities, while $5.5 million of principal payments were received on mortgage-backed securities and $3.3 million
of agency debt securities were called by the issuer. The average yield on the investment securities decreased 113
basis points to 2.63% during fiscal 2011 from 3.76% during fiscal 2010. The decrease in the average yield of
investment securities was primarily attributable to the repricing of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities to
lower interest rates.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense for fiscal 2011 was $20.9 million as compared to $30.6 million for fiscal
2010, a decrease of $9.7 million, or 32%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost
and a lower average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.74%
during fiscal 2011, down 57 basis points from 2.31% during fiscal 2010. The decline in the average cost of
liabilities was primarily due to the downward repricing of deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings, decreased $119.8 million, or 9%, to $1.20 billion during fiscal 2011
from $1.32 billion during fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in borrowings due to
scheduled maturities.
Interest expense on deposits for fiscal 2011 was $10.3 million as compared to $15.5 million for the same period of
fiscal 2010, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 34%. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the average balance of deposits coupled with a lower average cost. The average balance
of deposits decreased $10.1 million, or 1%, to $939.2 million during fiscal 2011 from $949.3 million during fiscal
2010. The average balance of time deposits decreased by $64.2 million, or 12%, to $471.4 million in fiscal 2011
from $535.6 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease in the average balance of time deposits was partly offset by an
increase in the average balance of transaction accounts. The average balance of transaction accounts increased
$54.1 million, or 13%, to $467.8 million in fiscal 2011 from $413.7 million in fiscal 2010. The average cost of
deposits decreased to 1.09% in fiscal 2011 from 1.63% during fiscal 2010, a decrease of 54 basis points. The
average cost of time deposits in fiscal 2011 was 1.72%, down 56 basis points, from 2.28% in fiscal 2010, while the
average cost of transaction accounts in fiscal 2011 was 0.46%, down 33 basis points, from 0.79% in fiscal 2010.
The decrease in average deposit costs was consistent with the decline in market interest rates.
Interest expense on borrowings, primarily FHLB – San Francisco advances, for fiscal 2011 decreased $4.4 million,
or 29%, to $10.7 million from $15.1 million for fiscal 2010. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was
almost entirely due to the lower average balance as the average cost was relatively unchanged. The average balance
of borrowings decreased $109.7 million, or 29%, to $263.8 million during fiscal 2011 from $373.5 million during
fiscal 2010, consistent with the Corporation’s fiscal 2011 short-term deleveraging strategy. The average cost of
borrowings increased to 4.05% in fiscal 2011 from 4.04% in fiscal 2010, an increase of one basis point.
Provision for Loan Losses. During fiscal 2011, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $5.5
million, compared to a provision for loan losses of $21.8 million during fiscal 2010. The decrease in the provision
for loan losses reflects reductions in non-performing and classified assets and net charge-offs. The provision for
loan losses in fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to loan classification downgrades, including non-performing
loans (which resulted in a $14.6 million loan loss provision), partly offset by the general loan loss allowance for
loans held for investment (which resulted in a $7.1 million loan loss recovery) and a decline in loans held for
investment (which resulted in a $2.0 million loan loss provision recovery). The general loan loss allowance was
adjusted to reflect an improved quality of loans held for investment as described below, despite persistently weak
general economic conditions in the U.S. and Southern California, in particular, such as high unemployment rates,
low gross domestic product, weak real estate markets and lower retail sales.
Non-performing assets (net of specific loan loss allowance), with underlying collateral primarily located in Southern
California, decreased to $45.5 million, or 3.46% of total assets, at June 30, 2011, compared to $73.5 million, or
5.25% of total assets, at June 30, 2010. The non-performing assets at June 30, 2011 were primarily comprised of
116 single-family loans ($31.8 million); three commercial real estate loans ($2.2 million); two multi-family loans
($2.0 million); one other mortgage loan ($972,000); four commercial business loans ($143,000); and real estate
owned comprised of 26 single-family properties ($6.7 million), one multi-family property ($1.1 million); one
69
developed lot ($399,000); one commercial real estate property ($102,000) and 25 undeveloped lots ($69,000)
acquired in the settlement of loans. As of June 30, 2011, 38%, or $14.2 million of non-performing loans have a
current payment status. Net charge-offs in fiscal 2011 were $18.5 million or 1.67% of average loans receivable,
compared to $23.8 million or 1.96% of average loans receivable in fiscal 2010.
Classified assets at June 30, 2011 were $66.6 million, comprised of $12.9 million in the special mention category,
$45.4 million in the substandard category and $8.3 million in real estate owned. Classified assets at June 30, 2010
were $95.6 million, consisting of $20.5 million in the special mention category, $60.4 million in the substandard
category and $14.7 million in real estate owned. Classified assets decreased at June 30, 2011 from the June 30,
2010 level primarily as a result of slight improvements in credit quality and stabilization of the real estate market.
See details on “Delinquencies and Classified Assets” on page 21 of this Form 10-K.
In fiscal 2011, 43 loans for $20.7 million were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and were
identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding
balance of restructured loans was $39.2 million: 34 loans were classified as pass, were not included in the classified
asset totals described earlier and remained on accrual status ($15.3 million); five loans were classified as special
mention and remained on accrual status ($4.6 million); 53 loans were classified as substandard ($19.3 million, with
51 of the 53 loans or $18.4 million on non-accrual status); and one loan was classified as loss and fully reserved. As
of June 30, 2011, 79%, or $31.0 million of the restructured loans have a current payment status.
The allowance for loan losses was $30.5 million at June 30, 2011, or 3.34% of gross loans held for investment,
compared to $43.5 million, or 4.14% of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2010. The allowance for loan
losses at June 30, 2011 includes $14.1 million of specific loan loss allowances, compared to $17.8 million of
specific loan loss allowances at June 30, 2010. Management believes that, based on currently available information,
the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment. See
details on “Allowance for Loan Losses” on page 28 of this Form 10-K.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated losses based on evaluating
known and inherent risks in the loans held for investment portfolio and upon management’s continuing analysis of
the factors underlying the quality of the loans held for investment. These factors include changes in the size and
composition of the loans held for investment, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed
analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, and determination of the realizable
value of the collateral securing the loans. Provisions for loan losses are charged against operations on a monthly
basis, as necessary, to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels. Management believes that the amount
maintained in the allowance will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loans held for investment.
Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations, there can be no
assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank’s loans held for investment, will not request the Bank to
significantly increase its allowance for loan losses. Future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be
necessary and results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected as a result of economic, operating,
regulatory and other conditions beyond the control of the Bank.
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $14.1 million, or 63%, to $36.4 million in fiscal 2011
from $22.3 million in fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the gain on sale of loans
and a $1.1 million net gain on sale of the retail banking facility in Temecula, California, partly offset by the net loss
on the sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans and the $2.3 million gain on sale
of investment securities in fiscal 2010, not replicated in fiscal 2011.
The gain on sale of loans increased $16.9 million, or 118%, to $31.2 million for fiscal 2011 from $14.3 million in
fiscal 2010. The increase was a result of a higher volume of loans originated for sale and a higher average loan sale
margin. Total loans originated for sale in fiscal 2011 were $2.14 billion as compared to $1.80 billion in fiscal 2010,
up $342.7 million or 19%. The increase in the loan sale volume in fiscal 2011 was attributable to relatively low
mortgage interest rates, more stable real estate markets and less competition. The average loan sale margin for PBM
during fiscal 2011 was 1.49%, up 72 basis points from 0.77% during fiscal 2010. The increase in the average loan
sale margin was due primarily to adjustments on derivative financial instruments and a lower recourse provision on
loans sold subject to repurchase. The gain on sale of loans includes a favorable fair-value adjustment on loans held
for sale and derivative financial instruments (commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans,
70
commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities, and option contracts) that amounted to a net gain of $590,000 in
fiscal 2011, as compared to a favorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net gain of $3.0 million in fiscal
2010. The gain on sale of loans in fiscal 2011 also includes a $125,000 recourse reserve recovery on loans sold that
are subject to repurchase, compared to a $6.3 million recourse reserve provision in fiscal 2010. The mortgage
banking environment has shown improvement as a result of relatively low mortgage interest rates but remains
volatile.
The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans reflected a net loss of $1.4 million in
fiscal 2011, as compared to a net gain of $16,000 in fiscal 2010. The net loss in fiscal 2011 was comprised of a
$185,000 net gain on the sale of 136 real estate owned properties, operating expenses of $1.7 million and a $166,000
recovery for losses on real estate owned. The net gain in fiscal 2010 was comprised of a $2.7 million net gain on the
sale of 155 real estate owned properties, operating expenses of $2.1 million and a $604,000 provision for losses on
real estate owned.
In March 2011, the Corporation completed the sale of its retail branch facility located at 40325 Winchester Road,
Temecula, California to an unaffiliated third party for a pre-tax gain of $1.1 million, which was recorded in the gain
on sale of properties and equipment. The Corporation executed a short-term leaseback agreement with the new
owner until the newly leased location at 40705 Winchester Road, Suites A106 and A107, Temecula, California
opened in May 2011.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense in fiscal 2011 was $45.4 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or
19%, as compared to $38.1 million in fiscal 2010. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of
increases in incentive compensation expense and other operating expenses.
Compensation expense increased $6.6 million, or 28%, to $30.0 million in fiscal 2011 from $23.4 million in fiscal
2010. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to higher PBM incentive compensation resulting
primarily from higher loan originations in fiscal 2011. PBM loan originations were $2.15 billion in fiscal 2011 as
compared to $1.80 billion in fiscal 2010, up $343.7 million, or 19%. See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K, for further details on PBM salary and compensation
benefits.
Other operating expenses increased $689,000, or 14%, to $5.7 million in fiscal 2011 from $5.0 million in fiscal
2010. The increase in other operating expenses was due primarily to higher PBM loan production related costs.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $10.0 million for fiscal 2011, representing an effective tax rate
of 43.2%, as compared to $740,000 in fiscal 2010, representing an effective tax rate of 39.9%. The increase in the
effective tax rate was primarily the result of a higher percentage of permanent tax differences relative to income
before taxes. The Corporation determined that the above tax rates meet its income tax obligations (See Note 9 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Income Taxes”, beginning on page 123).
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
General. The Corporation recorded net income of $1.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $7.4 million, or a net loss of $1.20 per diluted share, for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2009. The $8.5 million improvement in net income in fiscal 2010 was attributable to a $26.8 million
decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $2.1 million increase in non-interest income, partly offset by an $8.1
million increase in non-interest expense, a $4.2 million decrease in net interest income before provision for loan
losses and an $8.0 million increase in the provision for income taxes. The Corporation’s efficiency ratio increased
to 62% in fiscal 2010 from 47% in fiscal 2009. Return on average assets in fiscal 2010 increased to 0.08% from a
negative (0.47%) in fiscal 2009. Return on average equity in fiscal 2010 increased to 0.94% from a negative
(6.20)% in fiscal 2009.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $4.2 million, or 10%, to $39.6
million in fiscal 2010 from $43.8 million in fiscal 2010. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in
average earning assets and a decrease in the net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets decreased
71
$132.0 million, or 9%, to $1.40 billion in fiscal 2010 from $1.53 billion in fiscal 2009. The net interest margin
decreased three basis points to 2.83% in fiscal 2010 from 2.86% in fiscal 2009.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $15.7 million, or 18%, to $70.2 million for fiscal 2010 from $85.9
million for fiscal 2009. The decrease in interest income was primarily a result of decreases in the average balance
and the average yield of earning assets. The decrease in average earning assets was primarily attributable to the
decrease in loans receivable and investment securities, partly offset by an increase in interest-earning deposits. The
average yield on earning assets decreased 60 basis points to 5.02% in fiscal 2010 from 5.62% in fiscal 2009. The
decrease in the average yield on earning assets was the result of a decrease in the average yield on loans receivable,
investment securities and FHLB – San Francisco stock during fiscal 2010. The decline in the average earning assets
was consistent with the fiscal 2010 short-term strategy of maintaining capital ratios, improving liquidity and
reducing credit risk.
Loan interest income decreased $11.1 million, or 14%, to $67.7 million in fiscal 2010 from $78.8 million in fiscal
2009. This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan balance and a lower average loan yield. The average
balance of loans receivable decreased $131.0 million, or 10%, to $1.21 billion during fiscal 2010 from $1.34 billion
during fiscal 2009. The average loan yield during fiscal 2010 decreased 29 basis points to 5.58% from 5.87%
during fiscal 2009. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to adjustable-rate loans
repricing to lower interest rates and new non-performing loans, which required interest income reversals. The
decrease in the average balance of loans receivable was attributable to loan repayments and the origination of fewer
single- family residential loans for investment. Total non-performing loans decreased to $58.8 million at June 30,
2010 from $71.8 million at June 30, 2009.
Interest income from investment securities decreased $4.7 million, or 69%, to $2.1 million in fiscal 2010 from $6.8
million in fiscal 2009. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in the average balance and a decrease in
the average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased $87.5 million, or 61%, to $57.1 million in
fiscal 2010 from $144.6 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in the average balance was primarily due to the sale of
$65.5 million of investment securities for a net gain of $2.3 million as well as scheduled and accelerated principal
payments on mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on the investment securities decreased 96 basis points
to 3.76% during fiscal 2010 from 4.72% during fiscal 2009. The decrease in the average yield of investment
securities was primarily attributable to the sale of investment securities with a higher average yield and the repricing
of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities to lower interest rates. During fiscal 2010, the Bank did not purchase
any investment securities, while $20.6 million of principal payments were received on mortgage-backed securities
and a $2.0 million debt security was called by the issuer.
The FHLB – San Francisco paid a $112,000 cash dividend on its stock in fiscal 2010 as compared to the stock
dividend of $324,000 in fiscal 2009. This decrease was attributable to the FHLB – San Francisco’s decision to
reduce dividends in order to preserve its capital in response to the economic downturn.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense for fiscal 2010 was $30.6 million as compared to $42.2 million for fiscal
2009, a decrease of $11.6 million, or 27%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost
and a lower average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.31%
during fiscal 2010, down 63 basis points from 2.94% during fiscal 2009. The average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings, decreased $112.2 million, or 8%, to $1.32 billion during fiscal 2010
from $1.44 billion during fiscal 2009.
Interest expense on deposits for fiscal 2010 was $15.5 million as compared to $23.5 million for the same period of
fiscal 2009, a decrease of $8.0 million, or 34%. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the average balance of deposits coupled with a lower average cost. The average balance
of deposits decreased $6.4 million, or 1%, to $949.3 million during fiscal 2010 from $955.7 million during fiscal
2009. The average balance of time deposits decreased by $85.7 million, or 14%, to $535.6 million in fiscal 2010
from $621.3 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease in the average balance of time deposits was partly offset by an
increase in the average balance of transaction accounts. The average balance of transaction accounts increased
$79.3 million, or 24%, to $413.7 million in fiscal 2010 from $334.4 million in fiscal 2009. The average cost of
deposits decreased to 1.63% in fiscal 2010 from 2.45% during fiscal 2009, a decrease of 82 basis points. The
average cost of time deposits in fiscal 2010 was 2.28%, down 96 basis points, from 3.24% in fiscal 2009, while the
72
average cost of transaction accounts in fiscal 2010 was 0.79%, down 20 basis points, from 0.99% in fiscal 2009.
The decrease in average deposit costs was consistent with the decline in market interest rates.
Interest expense on borrowings, primarily FHLB – San Francisco advances, for fiscal 2010 decreased $3.6 million,
or 19%, to $15.1 million from $18.7 million for fiscal 2009. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was
primarily a result of a lower average balance, partly offset by a higher average cost. The average balance of
borrowings decreased $105.8 million, or 22%, to $373.5 million during fiscal 2010 from $479.3 million during
fiscal 2009, consistent with the Corporation’s short-term deleveraging strategy. The decrease in the average balance
was due to the scheduled maturities and $102.0 million of prepayments, resulting in a net prepayment gain of
$52,000 in fiscal 2010. The average cost of borrowings increased to 4.04% in fiscal 2010 from 3.90% in fiscal
2009, an increase of 14 basis points. The increase in the borrowing costs was due to the prepayments and maturities
of advances with mostly lower interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses. During fiscal 2010, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $21.8
million, compared to a provision for loan losses of $48.7 million during fiscal 2009. The provision for loan losses in
fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to loan classification downgrades, including non-performing loans (which
resulted in a $15.3 million loan loss provision) and the general loan loss allowance for loans held for investment
(which resulted in a $10.6 million loan loss provision), partly offset by a decline in loans held for investment (which
resulted in a $4.1 million loan loss provision recovery). The general loan loss allowance was augmented to reflect
the additional risk of loans held for investment resulting from the poor general economic conditions in the U.S. and
Southern California, in particular, such as high unemployment rates, low gross domestic product, weak real estate
markets and lower retail sales.
Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral primarily located in Southern California, decreased to $73.5
million, or 5.25% of total assets, at June 30, 2010, compared to $88.3 million, or 5.59% of total assets, at June 30,
2009. The non-performing assets at June 30, 2010 were primarily comprised of 160 single-family loans ($48.8
million); six multi-family loans ($6.5 million); five commercial real estate loans ($1.7 million); six single-family
loans repurchased from, or unable to be sold to investors ($833,000); two commercial business loans ($567,000);
one construction loan ($350,000); one consumer loan ($1,000); and real estate owned comprised of 49 single-family
properties ($13.6 million), one commercial real estate property ($424,000); one developed lot ($399,000); one multi-
family property ($193,000) and 25 undeveloped lots acquired in the settlement of loans ($78,000). As of June 30,
2010, 34%, or $19.9 million of non-performing loans have a current payment status. Net charge-offs in fiscal 2010
were $23.8 million or 1.96% of average loans receivable, compared to $23.1 million or 1.72% of average loans
receivable in fiscal 2009.
Classified assets at June 30, 2010 were $95.6 million, comprised of $20.5 million in the special mention category,
$60.4 million in the substandard category and $14.7 million in real estate owned. Classified assets at June 30, 2009
were $116.1 million, consisting of $24.3 million in the special mention category, $75.4 million in the substandard
category and $16.4 million in real estate owned. Classified assets decreased at June 30, 2010 from the June 30,
2009 level primarily as a result of slight improvements in credit quality and stabilization of the real estate market.
See details on “Delinquencies and Classified Assets” on page 21 of this Form 10-K.
In fiscal 2010, 111 loans for $53.8 million were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and were
identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans. As of June 30, 2010, the outstanding
balance of restructured loans was $60.0 million: 71 loans are classified as pass, are not included in the classified
asset totals described earlier and remain on accrual status ($32.3 million); six loans are classified as special mention
and remain on accrual status ($4.0 million); 63 loans are classified as substandard on non-performing status ($23.7
million); and two loans are classified as loss and fully reserved. As of June 30, 2010, 81%, or $48.7 million of the
restructured loans have a current payment status.
The allowance for loan losses was $43.5 million at June 30, 2010, or 4.14% of gross loans held for investment,
compared to $45.4 million, or 3.75% of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2009. The allowance for loan
losses at June 30, 2010 includes $17.8 million of specific loan loss allowances, compared to $25.3 million of
specific loan loss allowances at June 30, 2009. For additional information, see details on “Allowance for Loan
Losses” on page 28 of this Form 10-K.
73
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased $2.1 million, or 10%, to $22.3 million in fiscal 2010
from $20.2 million in fiscal 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to improved results on the sale and
operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans and the gain on sale of investment securities,
partly offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of loans.
During fiscal 2010, a total of $65.5 million of investment securities, comprised of U.S. government sponsored
enterprise MBS and U.S. government agency MBS, were sold for a net gain of $2.3 million as a part of the
Corporation’s short-term deleveraging strategy.
The gain on sale of loans decreased $2.7 million, or 16%, to $14.3 million for fiscal 2010 from $17.0 million in
fiscal 2009. The decrease was a result of a lower average loan sale margin, partly offset by a higher volume of loans
originated for sale. Total loans originated for sale in fiscal 2010 were $1.80 billion as compared to $1.32 billion in
fiscal 2009, up $483.2 million or 37%. The increase in the loan sale volume in fiscal 2010 was attributable to
relatively low mortgage interest rates, more stable real estate markets and less competition. The average loan sale
margin for PBM during fiscal 2010 was 0.77%, down 43 basis points from 1.20% during fiscal 2009. The decrease
in the average loan sale margin was due primarily to a higher recourse provision on loans sold subject to repurchase
and adjustments on derivative financial instruments. The gain on sale of loans includes a loss of $2.5 million on
derivative financial instruments in fiscal 2010, compared to a gain of $2.3 million in fiscal 2009. The gain on sale
of loans for fiscal 2010 also includes an unrealized gain of $5.4 million attributable to the election of the fair value
option of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” on loans held for sale, up from an unrealized gain of $1.9 million in
fiscal 2009. The gain on sale of loans in fiscal 2010 was partially reduced by a $6.3 million recourse provision on
loans sold that are subject to repurchase, compared to a $3.4 million recourse provision in fiscal 2009. The
mortgage banking environment has shown improvement as a result of relatively low mortgage interest rates but
remains volatile.
The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans reflected a net gain of $16,000 in
fiscal 2010, as compared to a net loss of $2.5 million in fiscal 2009. The improvement in fiscal 2010 was primarily
due to stabilization of the real estate market. The net gain in fiscal 2010 was comprised of a $2.7 million net gain on
the sale of 155 real estate owned properties, operating expenses of $2.1 million and a $604,000 provision for losses
on real estate owned. The net loss in fiscal 2009 was comprised of a $128,000 net loss on the sale of 122 real estate
owned properties, operating expenses of $2.1 million and a $290,000 provision for losses on real estate owned.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense in fiscal 2010 was $38.1 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or
27%, as compared to $30.0 million in fiscal 2009. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of
increases in compensation, deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments and other operating expenses.
Compensation expense increased $6.0 million, or 34%, to $23.4 million in fiscal 2010 from $17.4 million in fiscal
2009. The increase in compensation expense was primarily due to higher incentive compensation resulting
primarily from higher loan originations in fiscal 2010 and a $2.6 million recovery of ESOP expenses resulting from
the ESOP Self Correction recorded in fiscal 2009, not replicated in fiscal 2010. For additional information
regarding the ESOP Self Correction, see Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments increased $801,000, or 37%, to $3.0 million in fiscal 2010
from $2.2 million in fiscal 2009. The increase was a result of an increase in both the FDIC deposit insurance
premiums ($639,000) and the OTS assessments ($162,000).
Other operating expenses increased $819,000, or 20%, to $5.0 million in fiscal 2010 from $4.2 million in fiscal
2009. The increase in other operating expenses was due primarily to an increase in the Corporation’s insurance
premiums and higher loan production related costs.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $740,000 for fiscal 2010, representing an effective tax rate of
39.9%, as compared to the benefit for income taxes of $7.2 million in fiscal 2009, representing an effective tax rate
of 49.3%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of a lower percentage of permanent tax
differences relative to income before taxes, including the impact of the non-taxable expense recovery of the ESOP
74
Self Correction recorded in fiscal 2009. The Corporation determined that the above tax rates meet its 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 and sale of investment securities, proceeds
from FHLB – San Francisco advances, and access to the discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable
source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and loan sales are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
Historically, the primary investing activity of the Bank has been the origination and purchase of loans held for
investment, though due to the decline in real estate values and deterioration of credit quality, particularly for single-
family loans, and the Bank’s short-term strategy to improve liquidity and preserve capital, the Bank has substantially
reduced its origination of loans for investment during fiscal 2011 and 2010. During the fiscal years ended June 30,
2011, 2010 and 2009, the Bank originated loans in the amounts of $2.15 billion, $1.80 billion and $1.35 billion,
respectively, the vast majority of which were sold, as noted below. In addition, the Bank purchased loans from other
financial institutions in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 in the amounts of $7.1 million, $0 and $595,000, respectively. Total
loans sold in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $2.12 billion, $1.78 billion and $1.20 billion, respectively. At June 30,
2011, the Bank had loan origination commitments totaling $107.7 million and no undisbursed loan funds. The Bank
anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments.
The Bank’s primary financing activity is gathering deposits. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and
2009, the net increase (decrease) in deposits was $12.9 million, $(56.3) million and $(23.2) million, respectively. On
June 30, 2011, time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less were $284.5 million. Historically, the
77
Bank has been able to retain a significant percentage of its time deposits as they mature by adjusting deposit rates to the
current interest rate environment.
The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan
growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities.
The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet short-term liquidity needs. At June 30, 2011,
total cash and cash equivalents were $142.6 million, or 10.8% of total assets. Depending on market conditions and the
pricing of deposit products and FHLB – San Francisco advances, the Bank may continue to rely on FHLB – San
Francisco advances for part of its liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2011, the remaining available borrowing capacity at
FHLB – San Francisco was $245.9 million and the remaining unused collateral was $372.9 million. In addition, the
Bank has secured a $23.1 million discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, collateralized
by investment securities with a fair market value of $24.3 million. As of June 30, 2011, there was no outstanding
borrowing under this facility.
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, 2011 increased to 34.7% from 26.3% during the same quarter ended June 30,
2010. The increase in the liquidity ratio was due primarily to management’s decision to increase liquidity as a result of
recent market uncertainty and the timing difference between PBM loan originations and loan sale settlements. The
increase in liquidity resulted in a lower net interest margin and lower net interest income because liquid assets generally
yield lower rates of return than less liquid assets. The Bank augments its liquidity by maintaining sufficient borrowing
capacity at the FHLB – San Francisco.
The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to OCC requirements. Under the OCC prompt
corrective action provisions, a minimum ratio of 1.5% for Tangible Capital is required in order to be deemed other than
“critically undercapitalized,” while a minimum ratio of 5.0% for 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, 2011, the Bank
exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Tangible Capital, Core Capital, Total Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1
Risk-Based Capital ratios of 10.5%, 10.5%, 17.6% and 16.3%, respectively.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, 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 important
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 losses, the estimated fair value of
derivative financial instruments and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and real estate owned. These policies
and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section and in the section entitled “Organization and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies” contained in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management believes that 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, changes to the judgments, estimates and assumptions used 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. The primary market risk that the Bank faces is interest
rate 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 pages 5, 32, 37 and 79, respectively, of this Form 10-K.
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 agency MBS 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 while utilizing FHLB – San Francisco advances as a secondary source of funding.
Management believes retail deposits, unlike 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” beginning on page 62 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
the Bank’s Asset-Liability Committee, 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
primarily comprised of U.S. government agency MBS and government sponsored enterprise MBS that reprice
frequently. 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 produced 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 future cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The calculation is
intended to illustrate the change in NPV that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates of -100,
-50, +50, +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.
The following table was provided by the OTS and sets forth as of June 30, 2011 the estimated changes in NPV based on
the indicated interest rate environment. The Bank’s balance sheet position as of June 30, 2011 can be summarized as
follows: if interest rates increase, the NPV of the Bank is expected to increase, except at the +200 basis points or higher
rate shock scenario, where it is expected to decrease; and if interest rates decrease the NPV of the Bank is expected to
decrease.

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 that 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 results. 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.
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 +/-100 and +200 basis points.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 the Bank is asset sensitive as its interest-earning assets are expected to reprice
more quickly than its interest-bearing liabilities during the subsequent 12-month period. Therefore, in a rising interest
rate environment, the model projects an increase in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period. In a
falling interest rate environment, the results project a decrease in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month
period. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Bank is also asset sensitive. Therefore, in a rising interest rate
environment, the model projects an increase in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period. In a falling
interest rate environment, the results project a decrease in net interest income over the subsequent 12-month period.
Management believes that the assumptions used to complete the analysis described in the table above are reasonable.
However, past experience has shown that immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates will not
necessarily occur. Additionally, while the analysis provides a tool to evaluate the projected net interest income to
changes in interest rates, actual results may be substantially different if actual experience differs from the assumptions
used to complete the analysis. Therefore the model results that we disclose should be thought of as a risk management
tool to compare the trends of the Corporation’s current disclosure to previous disclosures, over time, within the context
of the actual performance of the treasury yield curve.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Please refer to page 89 for the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
a) An evaluation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation
of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as of the end of the period covered by this
annual report. In designing and evaluating the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Also,
because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected.
Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of
any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Based on their evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011 are effective in providing
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or
submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management (including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
81
b) There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-
15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation does not
expect that its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation
have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty,
and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by
the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 generally accepted accounting principles.
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. Management’s assessment of the Corporation’s internal control over
financial reporting was also conducted to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), which include controls over the preparation of the schedules
equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
Instructions for Thrift Financial Reports for Consolidated Statement of Condition (Schedule SC), Consolidated
Statement of Operations (Schedule SO) and the Summary of Changes in Savings Association Equity Capital included
on Supplemental Information (Schedule SI).
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, 2011.
The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011, 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 the Corporation’s internal control over financial
reporting follows.
The management of the Corporation has assessed the Corporation’s compliance with the Federal laws and regulations
pertaining to insider loans and the Federal and, if applicable, State laws and regulations pertaining to dividend
restrictions during the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2011. Management has concluded that the Corporation
complied with the Federal laws and regulations pertaining to insider loans and the Federal and, if applicable, State laws
and regulations pertaining to dividend restrictions during the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2011.

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 internal control over financial reporting of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. and subsidiary (the
“Corporation”) as of June 30, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because management’s assessment and our
audit were conducted to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act (FDICIA), management’s assessment and our audit of the Corporation's internal control over
financial reporting included controls over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in
accordance with the instructions for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Instructions for Thrift Financial
Reports for Schedules SC, SO, and the Summary of Changes in Savings Association Equity Capital included on
Schedule SI. 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, included in the
accompanying Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on 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
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
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.
83
In our opinion, the Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of June 30, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

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, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011, 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 Corporation's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011, 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 13, 2011, expressed an unqualified opinion on the
Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of presentation
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.
Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”) converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a
federally chartered stock savings 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 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, commercial business and,
to a lesser extent, construction and consumer loans. Deposits are collected primarily from 14 banking locations
located in Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California. PBM activities include originating single-family
loans, primarily first mortgages for sale to investors. Loans are primarily originated in Southern California and
Northern California by loan agents employed by the Bank, from its banking locations and freestanding lending
offices. PBM operates wholesale loan production offices in Pleasanton and Rancho Cucamonga, California and
retail loan production offices in City of Industry, Escondido, Glendora, Hermosa Beach, Pleasanton, Rancho
Cucamonga and Riverside (3), California.
Use of estimates
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles. 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, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of loan servicing assets, the valuation of real estate owned,
the determination of the loan repurchase reserve, the valuation of derivative financial instruments and deferred
compensation costs.
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.
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. Changes in net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale are included in
97
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Gains and losses on dispositions of investment
securities are 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.
Investment securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). For debt
securities, an OTTI is evident if the Corporation intends to sell the debt security or will more likely than not be
required to sell the debt security before full recovery of the entire amortized cost basis is realized. However, even if
the Corporation does not intend to sell the debt security and will not likely be required to sell the debt security
before recovery of its entire amortized cost basis, the Corporation must evaluate expected cash flows to be received
and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event of a credit loss, the credit component of the impairment is
recognized within non-interest income and the non-credit component is recognized through accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. For equity securities, management evaluates the securities in an unrealized
loss position in the available-for-sale portfolio for OTTI on the basis of the duration of the decline in value of the
security and severity of that decline as well as the Corporation’s intent and ability to hold these securities for a
period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market value. If it is determined that the
impairment on an equity security is other than temporary, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the
carrying value of the security and its fair value is recognized within non-interest income.
PBM activities
Mortgage loans are originated for both investment and sale to the secondary market. Since the Corporation is
primarily a single-family adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) lender for its own portfolio, a high percentage of fixed-
rate loans are originated for sale to institutional investors.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 825, “Financial Instruments,” allows for the option to report
certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value initially and at subsequent measurement dates with changes in fair
value included in earnings. The option may be applied instrument by instrument, but it is irrevocable. Prior to the
May 28, 2009 election of the fair value option on PBM loans held for sale, all loans held for sale were carried at the
lower of cost or fair value. Subsequent to the election, all PBM loans originated for sale, on or after May 28, 2009,
are carried at fair value. Fair value is generally determined by outstanding loan sale commitments from 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 which has a specific recourse provision, which is described later.
A high percentage of 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 the FHLB – San Francisco under the MPF program 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 the Bank’s maximum recourse are the responsibility of the FHLB –
San Francisco. The FHLB – San Francisco pays the Bank a credit enhancement fee on a monthly basis to
compensate the Bank for accepting the recourse obligation. On October 6, 2006, the FHLB – San Francisco
announced that it would no longer offer new commitments to purchase mortgage loans from its members, but it
would retain its existing portfolio of mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2011, the Bank serviced $87.0 million of loans
under this program and has established a recourse liability of $96,000 as compared to $110.5 million of loans
serviced and a recourse liability of $122,000 at June 30, 2010. A net loss of $9,000 and $19,000 was recognized in
fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, while no losses were recognized in fiscal 2009 under this program.
98
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Occasionally, the Bank is required to repurchase loans sold to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or other institutional
investors if it is determined that such loans do not meet the credit requirements of the investor, or if one of the
parties involved in the loan misrepresented pertinent facts, committed fraud, or if such loans were 90-days past due
within 120 days of the loan funding date. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the Bank did not repurchase
any loans, as compared to $368,000 and $4.0 million of single-family mortgage loans repurchased in fiscal 2010 and
2009, respectively. Many additional repurchase requests were settled that did not result in the repurchase of the loan
itself. In addition to the specific recourse liability for the MPF program, the Bank has established a recourse liability
of $4.1 million and $6.2 million for loans sold to other investors as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Activity in the recourse liability for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

The Bank is obligated to refund loan sale premiums to investors when a loan pays off within a specific time period
following the loan sale; the time period ranges from three to six months, depending upon the loan sale agreement.
Total loan sale premium refunds in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $252,000, $14,000 and $109,000, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank’s recourse liability was $86,000 and $38,000, 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 respective 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 based on the present value of estimated
net future cash flows related to contractually specified servicing fees. The Bank 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. Servicing assets at June 30, 2011 had a carrying value of
$354,000 and a fair value of $589,000, compared to a carrying value of $377,000 and a fair value of $725,000 at
June 30, 2010 (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Mortgage Loan Servicing and Loans
Originated for Sale,” beginning on page 115).
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 that are 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 prepaid expenses and other
assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the fair
value of the interest-only strips was $200,000 and $247,000, respectively, and net unrealized gain after statutory
taxes of the interest-only strips was $114,000 and 141,000, respectively.
Loans held for sale
Loans held for sale consist primarily of long-term fixed-rate loans secured by first trust deeds on single-family
residences, the majority of which are Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), United States Department of
Veterans Affairs (“VA”), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan products. The loans are generally offered to customers
99

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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, including Alameda County
and surrounding counties in Northern California. The loans have been hedged with loan sale commitments, put
options or other financial instruments and the loan sale settlement period is generally between 20 to 30 days from
the date of the loan funding. Upon the election of the fair value option (ASC 825) on May 28, 2009, all loans
originated for sale on the day of the election and thereafter are included as loans held for sale at fair value, while
prior loans originated for sale are categorized as loans held for sale at the lower of cost or market.
Loans held for investment
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. Also, loans held for investment are primarily
comprised of adjustable rate mortgages. Additionally, multi-family and commercial real estate 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 the Inland Empire, and to a lesser extent in Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego and
other counties, including Alameda County and surrounding counties in Northern California.
Loan origination fees and certain direct origination expenses are deferred and amortized to interest income over the
contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. 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 are
deemed to be on non-performing status when they become 90 days past due or if the loan is deemed impaired.
When a loan is placed on non-performing status, interest accrued but not received is reversed against interest
income. Interest income on non-performing loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received
and the loans’ principal balance is deemed collectible. Non-performing loans that become current as to both
principal and interest are returned to accrual status after demonstrating satisfactory payment history and when future
payments are expected to be collected.
Allowance for loan losses
The allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management, which has a material
impact on the carrying value of net loans. Management considers the accounting estimate related to the allowance
for loan losses a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to changes from period to period,
requiring management to make assumptions about probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the
balance sheet date. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions
to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.
The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (i) ASC 450, “Contingencies,” which requires that losses
be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated; and (ii) ASC 310, “Receivables,” which
requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash
flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and in comparison to the loan balance. The allowance
has two components: a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans and a specific valuation allowance for
identified problem loans. Each of these components is based upon estimates that can change over time. The
formula allowance is based on historical experience and as a result can differ from actual losses incurred in the
future; and qualitative factors such as unemployment data, gross domestic product, interest rates, retail sales, the
value of real estate and real estate market conditions. The historical data is reviewed at least quarterly and
adjustments are made as needed. Various techniques are used to arrive at specific loss estimates, including historical
loss information, discounted cash flows and the fair market value of collateral. The use of these techniques is
inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. Management considers, based
on currently available information, the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb probable losses inherent in
loans held for investment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Allowance for unfunded loan commitments
The Corporation maintains the allowance for unfunded loan commitments at a level that is adequate to absorb
estimated probable losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The Corporation determines the adequacy of
the allowance based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities, including an assessment of the
probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms
and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments is recorded as
Accounts payable, accrued interest and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Net
adjustments to the allowance for unfunded loan commitments are included in other non-interest expense on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Troubled debt restructuring (“restructured loans”)
A restructured loan is a loan which the Corporation, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a
concession to the borrower that the Corporation would not otherwise consider.
The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower’s financial difficulty, include but are not
limited to:
a) A reduction in the stated interest rate.
b) An extension of the maturity at an interest rate below market.
c) A reduction in the face amount of the debt.
d) A reduction in the accrued interest.
e) Extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites.
The Corporation measures the impairment loss of restructured loans based on the difference between the original
loan’s carrying amount and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective yield
of the loan. Based on published guidance with respect to restructured loans from certain banking regulators and to
conform to general practices within the banking industry, the Corporation maintains certain restructured loans on
accrual status, provided there is reasonable assurance of repayment and performance, consistent with the modified
terms based upon a current, well-documented credit evaluation.
Other restructured loans are classified as “Substandard” and placed on non-performing status. The loans may be
upgraded and placed on accrual status once there is a sustained period of payment performance (usually six months
or longer) and there is a reasonable assurance that the payments will continue; and if the borrower has demonstrated
satisfactory contractual payments beyond 12 consecutive months, the loan is no longer categorized as a restructured
loan. In addition to the payment history described above; multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and
commercial business loans must also demonstrate a combination of corroborating characteristics to be upgraded,
such as: satisfactory cash flow, satisfactory guarantor support, and additional collateral support, among others.
To qualify for restructuring, a borrower must provide evidence of their creditworthiness such as, current financial
statements, their most recent income tax returns, current paystubs, current W-2s, and most recent bank statements,
among other documents, which are then verified by the Bank. The Bank re-underwrites the loan with the borrower’s
updated financial information, new credit report, current loan balance, new interest rate, remaining loan term,
updated property value and modified payment schedule, among other considerations, to determine if the borrower
qualifies.
101
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Non-performing 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 may currently be 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,
less selling costs, or discounted cash flow and charges off those loans or portions of loans deemed uncollectible.
Real estate owned
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. Subsequent to foreclosure, the
Corporation charges current earnings for estimated losses if the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value.
Gains or losses on the sale of real estate are recognized upon disposition of the property. Costs relating to
improvement, maintenance and repairs of the property 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. Long-lived assets include buildings, land, fixtures,
furniture and equipment. An asset is considered impaired when the expected 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 …
Automobiles …………..
Computer equipment ….
3 to 10 years
3 years
3 to 5 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their respective lease terms or the useful life of the
improvement, which ranges from one to 10 years. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as
incurred.
Income taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740 requires the
affirmative evaluation that it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of a tax position, that an
enterprise is entitled to economic benefits resulting from positions taken in income tax returns. If a tax position does
not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial
statements. Management has determined that there are no unrecognized tax benefits reported in the Corporation’s
financial statements for fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
ASC 740 requires that when determining the need for a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset,
management must assess both positive and negative evidence with regard to the realizability of the tax losses
represented by that asset. To the extent available sources of taxable income are insufficient to absorb tax losses, a
valuation allowance is necessary. Sources of taxable income for this analysis include prior years’ tax returns, the
102
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
expected reversals of taxable temporary differences between book and tax income, prudent and feasible tax-planning
strategies, and future taxable income. The Corporation’s deferred tax asset decreased during fiscal 2011 due to
charge-offs of non-performing loans. The deferred tax asset related to the allowance will be realized when actual
charge-offs are made against the allowance. Based on the availability of loss carry-backs and projected taxable
income during the periods for which loss carry-forwards are available, management believes it is more likely than
not the Corporation will realize the deferred tax asset. The Corporation continues to monitor the deferred tax asset
on a quarterly basis for a valuation allowance. The future realization of these tax benefits primarily hinges on
adequate future earnings to utilize the tax benefit. Prospective earnings or losses, tax law changes or capital changes
could prompt the Corporation to reevaluate the assumptions which may be used to establish a valuation allowance.
The Corporation files income tax returns for the United States and state of California jurisdictions. 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. Also, the Internal Revenue Service completed a review of the Corporation’s
income tax returns for fiscal 2006 and 2007; and the California Franchise Tax Board completed a review of the
Corporation’s income tax returns for fiscal 2007 and 2008, of which the Corporation paid state tax adjustments of
$133,000, which include $34,000 in interest and $8,000 in penalties. There were no state and federal tax
adjustments, penalties or interest charges in fiscal 2010. Tax years subsequent to 2007 remain subject to federal
examination, while the California state tax returns for years subsequent to 2006 are subject to examination by state
taxing authorities. It is the Corporation’s policy to record any penalties or interest arising from federal or state taxes
as a component of income tax expense.
Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”)
The Bank purchases BOLI policies on the lives of certain executive officers and is the owner and beneficiary of the
policies. The Bank invests in BOLI to provide an efficient form of funding for long-term retirement and other
employee benefits costs. The Bank records these BOLI policies within other assets in the Consolidated Statements
of Financial Condition at each policy’s respective cash surrender value, with changes recorded in other non-interest
income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash dividend
A declaration or payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, who 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. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the subsequent
event on cash dividend.
Stock repurchases
The Corporation may repurchase its common stock consistent with Board-approved stock repurchase plans. As a
result of the recent economic downturn, the Corporation suspended activity in its stock repurchase program in order
to preserve capital. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the subsequent event
on the stock repurchase.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Earnings per common share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the
period excluding any potential dilutive effects. Diluted EPS gives effect to any 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. The computation of diluted EPS does not assume exercise of stock options and
vesting of restricted stock that would have an anti-dilutive effect on EPS.
Stock-based compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” 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.
The adoption of ASC 718 resulted in stock-based compensation expense related to issued and unvested stock option
grants. The stock-based compensation expense, inclusive of restricted stock expense, for fiscal years ended June 30,
2011, 2010 and 2009 was $958,000, $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. There was no cash provided by
operating activities or financing activities, related to excess tax benefits from stock-based payment arrangements.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)
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.
Restricted stock
The Corporation recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period of the shares awarded, equal to the fair
value of the shares at the award date.
Post retirement benefits
The estimated obligation for post retirement 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. The post retirement benefit liability is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Effective July 1, 2003, the Corporation discontinued the post retirement health care and life
insurance benefits to any employee not previously qualified (grandfathered) for these benefits. At June 30, 2011 and
2010, the accrued liability for post retirement benefits was $261,000 and $244,000, respectively, which was fully
funded consistent with actuarially determined estimates of the future obligation.
Comprehensive income (loss)
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” requires that realized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net

Accounting standard updates (“ASU”)
ASU 2010-20:
In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310):
Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” This ASU
requires additional disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the nature of the credit risk
inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the
allowance for credit losses and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The
effective date of this ASU is for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The
Corporation’s adoption of ASU 2010-20 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-02:
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a
Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This ASU provides additional guidance for creditors in
determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties
for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The provisions of this
standard are effective for the first interim or annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of
ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or operations.
ASU 2011-04:
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve
Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04
developed common requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs for measuring fair value and for disclosing
information about fair value measurements. The effective date of ASU 2011-04 will be during interim or annual
period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is not permitted.
The Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2011-05:
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of
Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 attempts to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of
financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The effective
date of ASU 2011-05 will be the first interim or fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be
applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The
Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2011, the unrealized holding losses relate to two adjustable rate private issue CMO which have been
in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized holding losses are primarily the result of
perceived credit and liquidity concerns of privately issued CMO investment securities. Based on the nature of the
investments, management concluded that such unrealized losses were not other than temporary as of June 30, 2011.
The Corporation intends and has the ability to hold the debt securities until maturity and will not likely be required
to sell the debt securities before realizing a full recovery.
Contractual maturities of investment securities as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Fixed-rate loans comprised 5% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2011, up from 4% at June 30, 2010. As of
June 30, 2011, the Bank had $50.4 million in mortgage loans that are subject to negative amortization, consisting of
$31.3 million in multi-family loans, $11.5 million in commercial real estate loans and $7.6 million in single-family
loans. This compares to $60.9 million of negative amortization mortgage loans at June 30, 2010, consisting of $38.4
million in multi-family loans, $12.9 million in commercial real estate loans and $9.6 million in single-family loans.
The amount of negative amortization included in loan balances decreased to $353,000 at June 30, 2011 from
$525,000 at June 30, 2010. During fiscal 2011, approximately $43,000, or 0.07%, of loan interest income was
added to the negative amortization loan balance, down from $88,000, or 0.13% in fiscal 2010. Negative
amortization involves a greater risk to the Bank because the loan principal balance may increase by a range of 110%
to 115% of the original loan amount and because the loan payment may increase beyond the means of the borrower
when loan principal amortization is required. Also, the Bank has originated 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 rate and a fully amortizing loan payment. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the interest-only
ARM loans were $247.8 million and $317.6 million, or 27.2% and 30.3% of loans held for investment, respectively.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, 43 loans for $20.7 million were modified from their original terms, were
re-underwritten at current market interest rates and were identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as
restructured loans. This compares to 111 loans for $53.8 million that were modified in the fiscal year ended June
30, 2010. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, three restructured loans with a total loan balance of $1.2
million were in default within a 12-month period subsequent to their original restructuring and required an
additional provision for loan losses of $316,000. This compares to 14 restructured loans with a total loan balance of
$6.1 million that were in default within a 12-month period subsequent to their original restructuring and required an
additional provision for loan losses of $769,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the
outstanding balance of restructured loans was $39.2 million, comprised of 93 loans. These restructured loans are
classified as follows: 34 loans are classified as pass, are not included in the classified asset totals and remain on
accrual status ($15.3 million); five loans are classified as special mention and remain on accrual status ($4.6
million); 53 loans are classified pursuant to federal regulatory guidelines as substandard ($19.3 million total, with 51
of the 53 loans or $18.4 million on non-accrual status); and one loan is classified as loss and fully reserved. As of
June 30, 2011, 79 percent, or $31.0 million of the restructured loans have a current payment status.

Mortgage servicing assets (“MSA”) are recorded when loans are sold to investors and the servicing of those loans is
retained by the Bank. MSA are subject to interest rate risk and may become impaired when interest rates fall and
the borrowers refinance or prepay their mortgage loans. The MSA are derived primarily from single-family loans.
Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors and processing foreclosures. Income from servicing loans is reported as loan
servicing and other fees in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of operations, and the amortization of MSA is
reported as a reduction to the loan servicing income. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees from investors
and certain fees collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the
Corporation held borrowers’ escrow balances related to loans serviced for others of $330,000 and $351,000,
respectively.
In estimating fair values at June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank used a weighted-average constant prepayment rate
(“CPR”) of 19.10% and 25.59%, respectively, and a weighted-average discount rate of 9.02% at both dates.
Servicing assets, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition, had a carrying value of $354,000 and a fair value of $589,000 at June 30, 2011. Servicing
assets at June 30, 2010 had a carrying value of $377,000 and a fair value of $725,000. An allowance may be
recorded to adjust the carrying value of each category of servicing assets to the lower of cost or market. As of June
30, 2011, a total allowance of $76,000 was required for three categories of servicing assets, compared to a total
allowance of $82,000 from three categories of servicing assets as of June 30, 2010. Total additions to loan servicing
assets during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $16,000, $18,000 and $2,000, respectively.
Total amortization of the loan servicing assets during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were
$45,000, $81,000 and $153,000, respectively.
Loans sold to the FHLB – San Francisco were completed under the MPF Program, which entitles the Bank to a
credit enhancement fee collected from FHLB – San Francisco on a monthly basis as described in Note 1 under PBM
activities.

The following table represents the hypothetical effect on the fair value of the Corporation’s MSA using an
unfavorable shock analysis of certain key assumptions used in the valuation of the MSA as of June 30, 2011 and
2010. This analysis is presented for hypothetical purposes only. As the amounts indicate, changes in fair value
based on changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in
assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.

9. Income Taxes:
The Corporation utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible temporary differences and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment. The provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following:

The net deferred tax assets were included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition. The Corporation analyzes the deferred tax assets to determine whether a valuation allowance is
required based on the more likely than not criteria that such assets will be realized principally through future taxable
income. This criteria takes into account the actual earnings and the estimates of profitability. The Corporation may
carryback net federal tax losses to the preceding five taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years.
At June 30, 2011, the Corporation had no federal and $4.1 million in state net tax loss carryforwards. Based on
management’s consideration of historical and anticipated future income before income taxes, as well as the reversal
period for the items giving rise to the deferred tax assets and liabilities, a valuation allowance was not considered
necessary at June 30, 2011 and 2010 and management believes it is more likely than not the Corporation will realize
the deferred tax asset.
Retained earnings at June 30, 2011 included approximately $9.0 million (pre-1988 bad debt reserve for tax
purposes) 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:
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
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. During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Bank, in consultation with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), the
predecessor to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Bank’s primarily federal regulator as of
July 21, 2011, increased the risk weightings of certain single-family residential mortgage loans that were
underwritten to stated income or interest only loan programs. However, in June 2011, the OTS rescinded the
Corporation’s and the Bank’s “troubled condition” designations and removed the heightened regulatory
requirements and operating restrictions imposed in June 2010, no longer requiring the increased risk weightings.
Quantitative measures established by federal regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) 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, 2011 and 2010, that the Bank met all its capital adequacy
requirements.
As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the most recent notification from the OTS 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 Capital (to risk-weighted assets), Core Capital (to adjusted tangible assets) and
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital (to risk-weighted assets) as set forth in the following table. Management is not aware of
any conditions or events since the notification that 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 2011, 2010 and 2009, the
Bank did not declare cash dividends to its parent, the Corporation. The Corporation raised $11.9 million of capital
in December 2009 through a follow-on public stock offering, issuing 5.18 million shares of common stock at $2.50
per share.
Federal regulations require that institutions with investments in subsidiaries conducting real estate investment and
joint venture activities maintain sufficient capital over the minimum regulatory requirements. The Bank maintains
capital in excess of the minimum requirements.

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 $451,000, $378,000 and $304,000 for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
The Corporation has a multi-year employment agreement and a post-retirement compensation agreement with one
executive officer and a post-retirement compensation agreement with another executive officer, which requires
payments of certain benefits upon retirement. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the accrued liability of the post-retirement
compensation agreements was $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively; costs are being accrued and expensed
annually. For fiscal 2011 and 2010, the accrued expense for these liabilities was $235,000 and $616,000,
respectively. The current obligation for these post-retirement benefits was fully funded consistent with contractual
requirements and actuarially determined estimates of the total future obligation. The Corporation invests in BOLI to
provide sufficient funding for these post-retirement obligations. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the total outstanding
cash surrender value of the BOLI was $6.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively. For fiscal 2011 and 2010, the
total non-taxable income from the BOLI was $242,000 and $240,000, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
An ESOP was established on June 27, 1996 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 borrowed
$4.1 million from the Corporation to purchase 922,538 shares of the common stock issued in the conversion. The
loan was paid off as of March 31, 2011 and all of the shares have been allocated to the eligible participants. Shares
purchased with the loan proceeds were held in an unearned ESOP account and released on a pro- rata basis based on
the distribution schedule and repayment of the ESOP loan. The loan was principally repaid from the Corporation’s
126
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contributions to the ESOP over a period of 15 years. Contributions to the ESOP and share releases from the
unearned ESOP account were 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.
In addition to the scheduled ESOP loan payments, from September 2002 through December 2007, the ESOP paid
additional principal amounts funded by the cash dividends received on the unallocated ESOP shares. The
Corporation did not intend to accelerate the ESOP share allocations triggered by the additional ESOP loan principal
payments funded by the cash dividends from unallocated ESOP shares but did so as a result of an ambiguity in the
ESOP Plan document. On April 22, 2008, the Bank submitted a self-correction application to the Internal Revenue
Service (“IRS”) as a result of the ambiguity in the ESOP Plan regarding the ESOP’s repayment of the ESOP loan.
On March 27, 2009, the IRS approved a Voluntary Program Compliance Statement (“ESOP Self Correction”),
which was subsequently ratified by the Board of Directors of the Bank on April 30, 2009. On June 19, 2009, the
Bank executed the ESOP Self Correction, which allowed the Bank to restore the ESOP loan by reversing the
accelerated repayment of the loan and restoring the corresponding allocated shares to unallocated shares. The shares
were recovered to unallocated status consistent with the increase to the ESOP loan. The Corporation reimbursed
$933,000 to the ESOP for the unallocated cash dividends from the reversed loan prepayments plus $54,000 of
accumulated interest. The total compensation expense recovery from the ESOP Self Correction was $2.6 million
recorded in fiscal 2009.
The net expense (recovery) related to the ESOP for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $304,000,
$323,000 and $(2.4) million, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding balance on the loan was $0
and $332,000, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the unearned ESOP account of $0 and $203,000,
respectively, was reported as a reduction to stockholders’ equity.

12. Incentive Plans:
As of June 30, 2011, the Corporation had four share-based compensation plans, which are described below. These
plans include the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2003 Stock Option Plan and the
1996 Stock Option Plan. The 1997 Management Recognition Plan was fully distributed in July 2007 and is no
longer an active incentive plan. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was
$958,000, $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
There was no income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for share-based
compensation plans for fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 or 2009.
127
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Equity Incentive Plan. The Corporation established and the shareholders approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan
(“2010 Plan”) and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”) for directors, advisory directors, directors emeriti,
officers and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiary. The 2010 Plan authorizes 586,250 stock options and
288,750 shares of restricted stock. The 2010 Plan provides that no person may be granted more than 117,250 stock
options or 43,312 shares of restricted stock in any one year. The 2006 Plan authorizes 365,000 stock options and
185,000 shares of restricted stock. The 2006 Plan provides that no person may be granted more than 73,000 stock
options or 27,750 shares of restricted stock in any one year.
a) Equity Incentive Plan - Stock Options. Under the 2010 Plan and 2006 Plan (collectively, “the Plans”), options
may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of the grant. Options typically vest over a
five-year or shorter period as long as the director, advisory director, director emeritus, officer or employee remains
in service to the Corporation. The options are exercisable after vesting for up to the remaining term of the original
grant. The maximum term of the options granted is 10 years.
The fair value of each option grant under the Plans is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes
option valuation model with the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected volatility is based on
implied volatility from the Corporation’s historical common stock closing prices for the prior 84 months. The
expected dividend yield is based on the most recent quarterly dividend on an annualized basis. The expected term is
based on the historical experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury note rate with a term similar to the underlying stock options on the
particular grant date.

A total of 412,000 options were granted in fiscal 2011 with a 50% vesting after two years and 50% vesting after four
years. The weighted-average fair value of options granted as of the grant date was $3.64 per option, while no
options were forfeited or exercised. There was no activity in fiscal 2010, except the forfeiture of 300 stock options.
A total of 182,000 options were granted in fiscal 2009 with a three-year cliff vesting schedule and the weighted-
average fair value of options granted as of the grant date was $2.14 per option, while 2,200 options were forfeited
and no options were exercised. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 596,450 and 10,200 options, respectively,
available for future grants under the Plans.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and
2009 was $3.64, $0 and $2.14 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there was $1.6 million and
$588,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, respectively, related to unvested share-based compensation
arrangements granted under the Plans. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
3.4 years and 1.4 years, respectively. The forfeiture rate during fiscal 2011 and 2010 was 25 percent, calculated by
using the historical forfeiture experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually.
b) Equity Incentive Plan – Restricted Stock. The Corporation used 288,750 shares and 185,000 shares of its
treasury stock to fund the 2010 Plan and the 2006 Plan, respectively. Awarded shares typically vest over a five-year
or shorter period as long as the director, advisory director, director emeriti, officer or employee remains in service to
the Corporation. Once vested, a recipient of restricted stock will have all rights of a shareholder, including the
power to vote and the right to receive dividends. The Corporation recognizes compensation expense for the
restricted stock awards based on the fair value of the shares at the award date.
In fiscal 2011, a total of 146,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded with a 50% vesting after two years and
129
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
50% vesting after four years. No shares were forfeited and 12,000 shares were vested and distributed. In fiscal
2010, no restricted stock was awarded or forfeited while 12,000 shares were vested and distributed. In fiscal 2009, a
total of 100,300 shares of restricted stock were awarded with a three-year cliff vesting schedule, 1,400 shares were
forfeited and 12,000 shares were vested and distributed. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 314,100 shares
and 25,350 shares of restricted stock, respectively, available for future awards.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the unrecognized compensation expense under the Plans was $1.4 million and
$877,000, respectively. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years and
1.4 years, respectively. Similar to options, the forfeiture rate for the restricted stock compensation expense
calculations for each of fiscal 2011 and 2010 was 25 percent. The fair value of shares vested and distributed during
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $83,000, $38,000 and $52,000, 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 the grant. Options typically
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.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation
model with the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from
130

the Corporation’s historical common stock closing prices for the prior 84 months (or 30 months for grants prior to
September 2006). The expected dividend yield is based on the most recent quarterly dividend on an annualized
basis. The expected term is based on the historical experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed
annually. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury note rate with a term similar to the underlying
stock options on the particular grant date.
In fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, there was no activity under the Stock Option Plan, except 67,500 stock options that
expired in fiscal 2011. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the number of options available for future grants under the
Stock Option Plans were 14,900 options and 14,900 options, respectively.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there was $87,200 and $239,000 of unrecognized compensation expense,
respectively, related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Option Plans.
The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years and 1.5 years, respectively.
The forfeiture rate during each of fiscal 2011 and 2010 was 25 percent, which was calculated based on the historical
experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually.

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 fiscal year. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur

14. Commitments and Contingencies:
The Corporation is involved in various legal matters associated with its normal operations. In the opinion of
management, these matters will be resolved without material effect on the Corporation’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
The Corporation conducts a portion of its operations in leased facilities and has maintenance contracts under non-
cancelable agreements classified as operating leases. The following is a schedule of the Corporation’s operating
lease obligations:

Lease expense under operating leases was approximately $1.4 million, $1.2 million and $966,000 for the years
ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Bank sold single-family mortgage loans to unrelated third parties with standard representation and warranty
provisions in the ordinary course of its mortgage banking activities. Under these provisions, the Bank is required to
repurchase any previously sold loan for which the representations or warranties of the Bank prove to be inaccurate,
incomplete or misleading. In the event of a borrower default or fraud, pursuant to a breeched representation or
warranty, the Bank may be required to reimburse the third party. As of June 30, 2011, the Bank maintained a
recourse liability related to these representations and warranties of $4.1 million, which consisted of $2.9 million in
non-contingent recourse liability and $1.2 million in contingent recourse liability. This compares to a recourse
liability of $6.2 million at June 30, 2010, comprised of $4.5 million in non-contingent recourse liability and $1.7
million in contingent recourse liability. In addition, the Bank maintained a recourse liability of $96,000 and
$122,000 at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for loans sold to the FHLB – San Francisco under the MPF
program.
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts with third parties under which the third
parties provide services on behalf of the Corporation. In many of these contracts, the Corporation agrees to
indemnify the third party service provider under certain circumstances. The terms of the indemnity vary from
contract to contract and the amount of the indemnification liability, if any, cannot be determined. The Corporation
also enters into other contracts and agreements; such as, loan sale agreements, litigation settlement agreements,
confidentiality agreements, loan servicing agreements, leases and subleases, among others, in which the Corporation
agrees to indemnify third parties for acts by the Corporation’s agents, assignees and/or sub-lessees, and employees.
Due to the nature of these indemnification provisions, the Corporation cannot calculate its aggregate potential
exposure under them.
Pursuant to their bylaws, the Corporation and its subsidiaries provide indemnification to directors, officers and, in
some cases, employees and agents against certain liabilities incurred as a result of their service on behalf of or at the
133
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
request of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. It is not possible for the Corporation to determine the aggregate
potential exposure resulting from the obligation to provide this indemnity.
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, operations or cash flows of the Bank.
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 loan sale commitments to third
parties. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Corporation’s
exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is
represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in
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, 2011 and 2010, interest rates on commitments to extend credit ranged from 3.38% to 5.75% and 3.75% to
5.88%, respectively.
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 may enter into loan sale commitments 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 loan sale commitments with its current loan production. If the Corporation is
unable to reasonably predict the dollar amounts of loans which may not fund, the Corporation may enter into “best
efforts” loan sale commitments rather than “mandatory” loan sale commitments. Mandatory loan sale commitments
may include whole loan and/or To-Be-Announced MBS (“TBA-MBS”) loan sale commitments. If the Corporation
is unable to fulfill its loan sale commitments, the Corporation is required to settle the obligations through pair offs
based on the prevailing fair value of the commitments.
134
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In addition to the instruments described above, the Corporation may also purchase 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. In addition to put option contracts, the
Corporation may purchase call option contracts to adjust its risk positions. 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 and call
option contracts. Put and call options are adjusted to market in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and
Hedging,” as amended.
In accordance with ASC 815 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, loan sale commitments, To Be Announced (“TBA”)
MBS trades and put option contracts are recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition,
and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets (if the net result is a gain) or accounts payable, accrued
interest and other liabilities (if the net result is a loss). The Corporation does not apply hedge accounting to its
derivative financial instruments; therefore, all changes in fair value are recognized in the gain on sale of loans.
The net impact of derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the years
ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Corporation adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” on July 1, 2008 and elected the
fair value option (ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”) on May 28, 2009 on loans originated for sale by PBM. ASC
820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. ASC 825 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and
liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the Fair Value Option) at specified election dates. At
each subsequent reporting date, an entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items in earnings for
which the fair value option has been elected. The objective of the Fair Value Option is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring
related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.
The following table describes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of loans held for sale at fair value.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly.” This ASC provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair
Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.
ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair
value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has
the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 such as: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated to observable market data for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that use significant assumptions, including assumptions
of risks. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation’s estimate of assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of
pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
136
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
ASC 820 requires the Corporation to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs. If a financial instrument uses inputs that fall in different levels of the hierarchy, the instrument will be
categorized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value calculation.
The Corporation’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investment
securities, loans held for sale at fair value, interest-only strips and derivative financial instruments; while non-
performing loans, MSA and real estate owned are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Investment securities are primarily comprised of U.S. government sponsored enterprise debt securities, U.S.
government agency MBS, U.S. government sponsored enterprise MBS and private issue CMO. The Corporation
utilizes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities for its fair value measurement of debt
securities, quoted prices in active and less than active markets for similar securities for its fair value measurement of
MBS and debt securities (Level 2), and broker price indications for similar securities in non-active markets for its
fair value measurement of CMO (Level 3).
Derivative financial instruments are comprised of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale,
mandatory loan sale commitments, TBA MBS trades and put option contracts. The fair value of MBS TBA trades is
determined using quoted secondary-market prices (Level 2). The fair values of other derivative financial
instruments are determined by quoted prices for a similar commitment or commitments, adjusted for the specific
attributes of each commitment (Level 3).
Loans held for sale at fair value are primarily single-family loans. The fair value is determined, when possible,
using quoted secondary-market prices such as mandatory loan sale commitments. If no such quoted price exists, the
fair value of a loan is determined by quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of
each loan (Level 2).
Non-performing loans are loans which are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of
the borrowers or of the collateral pledged. The non-performing loans are characterized by the distinct possibility
that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The fair value of an impaired loan is
determined based on an observable market price or current appraised value of the underlying collateral. Appraised
and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions
from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the borrower (Level 2). For non-
performing loans which are also restructured loans, the fair value is derived from discounted cash flow analysis
(Level 3), except those which are in the process of foreclosure, for which the fair value is derived from the appraised
value of its collateral (Level 3). Non-performing loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for
additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. This loss is not
recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), but rather as a
component in determining the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These adjustments to the estimated
fair value of non-performing loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for loan losses recorded in
current earnings.
The Corporation uses the amortization method for its MSA, which amortizes servicing assets in proportion to and
over the period of estimated net servicing income and assesses servicing assets for impairment based on fair value at
each reporting date. The fair value of MSA is calculated using the present value method; which includes a third
party’s prepayment projections of similar instruments, weighted-average coupon rates and the estimated average life
(Level 3).
The rights to future income from serviced loans that exceed contractually specified servicing fees are recorded as
interest-only strips. The fair value of interest-only strips is calculated using the same assumptions that are used to
value the related servicing assets (Level 3).
137
Provident Financial Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The fair value of real estate owned is derived from the lower of the appraised value at the time of foreclosure or the
listing price, net of disposition costs (Level 2).
The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation
methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or
assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair
value at the reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these financial assets approximates the fair value.
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.
FHLB – San Francisco stock: The carrying amount reported for FHLB – San Francisco stock approximates fair
value. When redeemed, the Corporation will receive an amount equal to the par value of the stock.
Deposits: The fair value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The discount rate is
based upon rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of transaction
accounts (checking, money market and savings accounts) is estimated by using the most recent Interest Rate Risk
Exposure Report issued by the Office of Thrift Supervision which denotes the fair value of transaction accounts
consistent with current market conditions.
Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings has been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The
discount rate on such borrowings is based upon rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining
maturities.

17. Reportable Segments:
The segment reporting is organized consistent with the Corporation’s executive summary and operating strategy.
The business activities of the Corporation, primarily through the Bank and its subsidiary, consists of Provident Bank
and Provident Bank Mortgage. Provident Bank operations primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers
within the communities surrounding the Bank’s full service offices and investing those funds in single-family, multi-
family, commercial real estate, construction, commercial business, consumer and other mortgage loans. Provident
Bank Mortgage operations primarily consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured by single-family
residences. The following table and discussion explain the results of the Corporation’s two major reportable
segments, Provident Bank and Provident Bank Mortgage.
The following tables illustrate the Corporation’s operating segments for the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and

transferred to the Bank’s loans held for investment. The (loss) gain on sale of loans in the years ended June 30,
2011, 2010 and 2009 was $(1,000), $7,000 and $27,000, respectively.
4. Loan servicing costs are charged to PBM by the Bank based on the number of loans held for sale at fair value
and loans held for sale at the lower of cost or market multiplied by a fixed fee which is subject to management’s
review. The loan servicing costs in the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $72,000, $64,000 and
$51,000, respectively.
5. The Bank allocates quality assurance costs to PBM for its loan production, subject to management’s review.
Quality assurance costs allocated to PBM in the years ended June 30, 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $213,000,
