The amendments in this Update temporarily defer that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20. In the proposed Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted. The Corporation’s adoption of this ASU 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 period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The Corporation’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-03:

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The update amends existing guidance to remove from the assessment of effective control, the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and, as well, the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. ASU No. 2011-03 is effective for the Corporation’s reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance applies prospectively to transactions or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

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 GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 developed common requirements between 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 to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. 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 should be applied retrospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-10:

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate.” The amendments in this Update clarify the scope of current GAAP. The amendments will resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 applies to the derecognition of in substance real estate when the parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest (as described in Subtopic 810-10) in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate because of a default by the subsidiary on its nonrecourse debt. That guidance will improve current GAAP by eliminating the diversity in practice and emphasizing that the accounting for such transactions is based on their substance rather than their form. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate entities. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-11:

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this Update will enhance disclosures required by GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this Update. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-12:

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05.” While the FSAB is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. The amendments in this Update are effective at the same time as the amendments in Update 2011-05 so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in Update 2011-05 that this Update is deferring. For this reason, the transition guidance in paragraph 220-10-65-2 is consistent with that for Update 2011-05. The amendments in this Update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Corporation has not determined the impact of this ASU on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the entity.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were outstanding options to purchase 1,187,000 shares and 837,700 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, respectively, of which 594,000 shares and 656,700 shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS computation as their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following table provides the basic and diluted EPS computations for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 5: Investment Securities

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

Total investment securities		$ 25,291	$ 931	$ (29	)	$ 26,193	$ 26,193

In the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Bank received MBS principal payments of $1.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and did not purchase or sell investment securities. For the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Bank received MBS principal payments of $2.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and did not purchase or sell investment securities.

The Bank evaluates individual investment securities quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in market value. As of December 31, 2011 and 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 Bank does not believe that there are any other-than-temporary impairments at December 31, 2011 or June 30, 2011; therefore, no impairment losses have been recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The Bank 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 December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

	December 31, 2011				June 30, 2011

Note 6: Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment consisted of the following:

		December 31, 2011		June 30, 2011

Mortgage loans:
	Single-family	$ 465,606		$ 494,192
	Multi-family	298,285		304,808
	Commercial real estate	99,718		103,637
	Other	1,528		1,530
Commercial business loans		4,332		4,526
Consumer loans		604		750
	Total loans held for investment, gross	870,073		909,443

Deferred loan costs, net		2,304		2,649
Allowance for loan losses		(26,901	)	(30,482	)
	Total loans held for investment, net	$ 845,476		$ 881,610

As of December 31, 2011, the Bank had $46.5 million in mortgage loans that are subject to negative amortization, consisting of $29.7 million in multi-family loans, $10.7 million in commercial real estate loans and $6.1 million in single-family loans. This compares to $50.4 million of negative amortization mortgage loans at June 30, 2011, 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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, no loan interest income was added to the negative amortization loan balance, as compared to $10,000 of loan interest income in the comparable period of fiscal 2011. For the first six months of fiscal 2012, approximately $13,000 of loan interest income was added to the negative amortization loan balance, down from $27,000 of loan interest income in the comparable six-month period of fiscal 2011. 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 during the period of negative amortization 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 December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the interest-only ARM loans were $229.6 million and $247.8 million, or 26.3% and 27.2% of loans held for investment, respectively.

The following table sets forth information at December 31, 2011 regarding the dollar amount of loans held for investment that are contractually repricing during the periods indicated, segregated between adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans. Fixed-rate loans comprised 5% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2011, unchanged from June 30, 2011. Adjustable rate loans having no stated repricing dates that reprice when the index they are tied to reprices (e.g. prime rate index) and checking account overdrafts are reported as repricing within one year. The table does not include any estimate of prepayments which may cause the Bank’s actual repricing experience to differ materially from that shown below.

		Adjustable Rate

			One Year	3 Years	5 Years
		Within	Through	Through	Through	Fixed

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loans held for investment and upon management’s continuing analysis of the factors underlying the quality of the loans held for investment. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loans held for investment, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability 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. 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 Bank’s control.

The following tables summarize the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011:

The following table describes the aging analysis (length of time on non-performing status) of non-performing loans, net of specific allowance for loan losses, as of December 31, 2011:

(In Thousands)		3 Months or Less	Over 3 to 6 Months	Over 6 to 12 Months	Over 12 Months	Total

During the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation’s average investment in non-performing loans was $35.3 million and $52.1 million, respectively. Interest income of $1.5 million and $1.8 million was recognized, based on cash receipts, on non-performing loans during the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Corporation records interest on non-performing loans utilizing the cash basis method of accounting during the periods when the loans are on non-performing status. Foregone interest income, which would have been recorded had the non-performing loans been current in accordance with their original terms, amounted to $261,000 and $278,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was not included in the results of operations.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation’s average investment in non-performing loans was $36.0 million and $55.2 million, respectively. Interest income of $3.1 million and $3.5 million was

recognized, based on cash receipts, on non-performing loans during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The foregone interest income amounted to $574,000 and $641,000 and was not included in the results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, four loans for $1.0 million were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and were identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans. This compares to 15 loans for $7.2 million that were re-underwritten and were identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, no restructured loans were in default within a 12-month period subsequent to their original restructuring. Additionally, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, four loans for $3.0 million and six loans for $2.8 million, respectively, had their modification terms extended beyond the initial maturity of the modification.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, sixteen loans for $5.8 million were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten and were identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans. This compares to 29 loans for $14.2 million that were re-underwritten and were identified in the Corporation’s asset quality reports as restructured loans during the six months ended December 31, 2010. For the first six months ended December 31, 2011, two restructured loans with a total loan balance of $771,000 were in default within a 12-month period subsequent to their original restructuring and required a $200,000 additional provision for loan losses. This compares to one restructured loan with a total loan balance of $285,000 that was in default within a 12-month period subsequent to its original restructuring and required an additional provision for loan losses of $133,000 in the first six months ended December 31, 2010. Additionally, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, five loans for $3.2 million and 13 loans for $5.0 million, respectively, had their modification terms extended beyond the initial maturity of the modification.

As of December 31, 2011, the net outstanding balance of the 72 restructured loans was $30.5 million: 18 were classified as pass and remain on accrual status ($7.5 million); nine were classified as special mention and remain on accrual status ($6.3 million); and 45 were classified as substandard ($16.7 million total, with 38 of the 45 loans or $13.3 million on non-accrual status).

The Corporation upgrades restructured single-family loans to the pass category if the borrower has demonstrated satisfactory contractual payments for at least six consecutive months; 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 (which are sometimes referred to in this report as “preferred loans”) must also demonstrate a combination of the following 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.

The following table summarizes at the dates indicated the restructured loans by loan type and non-accrual versus accrual status:

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, twenty properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while 40 previously foreclosed upon properties were sold. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, thirty-six properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, while 58 previously foreclosed upon properties were sold. As of December 31, 2011, real estate owned was comprised of 32 properties with a net fair value of $7.8 million, primarily located in Southern California. This compares to 54 real estate owned properties, primarily located in Southern California, with a net fair value of $8.3 million at June 30, 2011. A new appraisal was obtained on each of the properties at the time of foreclosure and fair value was calculated by using the lower of the appraised value or the listing price of the property, net of disposition costs. Any initial loss was recorded as a charge to the allowance for loan losses before being transferred to real estate owned. Subsequently, if there is further deterioration in real estate values, specific real estate owned loss reserves are established and charged to the statement of operations. In addition, the Corporation records costs to carry real estate owned as real estate operating expenses as incurred.

Note 7: Derivative and Other Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, loan sale commitments to third parties and option contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in entering into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Corporation had commitments to extend credit (on loans to be held for investment and loans to be held for sale) of $128.0 million and $107.7 million, respectively.

The following table provides information regarding undisbursed funds to borrowers on existing lines of credit with the Bank as well as commitments to originate loans to be held for investment.

	December 31,	June 30,
Commitments	2011	2011
(In Thousands)

Undisbursed lines of credit – Mortgage loans	$ 1,106	$ 1,028

Undisbursed lines of credit – Consumer loans	902	956
Commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for investment	200	200
Total	$ 4,102	$ 5,051

In accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and interpretations of the Derivatives Implementation Group of the FASB, the fair value of the commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, loan sale commitments, commitments to sell MBS, put option contracts and call option contracts are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At December 31, 2011, $2.1 million was included in other assets and $1.9 million was included in other liabilities; at June 30, 2011, $1.3 million was included in other assets and $0 was included in other liabilities. The Corporation does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments; therefore, all changes in fair value are recorded in earnings.

The following table provides information regarding allowance for losses of the undisbursed funds and commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for investment.

Note 8: Income Taxes

FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” 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 to be reported in the Corporation’s financial statements, and none are anticipated during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

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 expected reversals of taxable temporary differences between book and tax income, prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies, and future taxable income. 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. As of December 31, 2011, the estimated deferred tax asset was $9.5 million, a $428,000 or four percent decrease, from $9.9 million at June 30, 2011. The Corporation did not have any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any known unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2011 or June 30, 2011.

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. The Internal Revenue Service also completed a review of the Corporation’s income tax returns for fiscal 2006 and 2007. 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. The California Franchise Tax Board completed a review of the Corporation’s income tax returns for fiscal 2007 and 2008. It is the Corporation’s policy to record any penalties or interest charges arising from federal or state taxes as a component of income tax expense. For the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, a total of $0 and $1,000 in interest charges, respectively, were paid with no penalties. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, a total of $14,000 and $14,000 in interest charges, respectively, were paid with no penalties.

Note 9: 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 pursuant to 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.

(In Thousands)	Aggregate Fair Value	Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance	Net Unrealized Gain
As of December 31, 2011:
Single-family loans measured at fair value	$ 226,790	$ 217,595	$ 9,195

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.

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, mortgage servicing assets and real estate owned are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Investment securities are primarily comprised of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities and private issue collateralized mortgage obligations. 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 mortgage-backed securities and debt securities, and broker price indications for similar securities in non-active markets for its fair value measurement of collateralized mortgage obligations.

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, loan sale commitments and option contracts. The fair value is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary-market prices. If no such quoted price exists, the fair value of a commitment is determined by quoted prices for a similar commitment or commitments, adjusted for the specific attributes of each commitment.

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.

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 and the accrual of interest income has been discontinued. The non-performing loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The Corporation assesses loans individually and identifies impairment when the loan is classified as non-performing, been restructured or management has serious doubts about the future collectibility of principal and interest, even though the loans may currently be performing. The fair value of a non-performing 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. For non-performing loans which are also restructured loans, the fair value is derived from discounted cash flow analysis, except those which are in the process of foreclosure, for which the fair value is derived from the appraised value of its collateral. 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 mortgage servicing assets, 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 mortgage servicing assets 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.

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.

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.

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.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Corporation’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Borrowings	$	176,573	$	186,056	$	206,598	$	214,992

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 Bank’s interest rate risk model 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.

Note 10: Incentive Plans

As of December 31, 2011, the Corporation had four share-based compensation plans, which are described below. These plans are the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”), the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”), the 2003 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Stock Option Plan. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was $244,000 and $195,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and there was no tax benefit from these plans during either quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the compensation cost for these plans was $833,000 and $433,000, respectively, and there was no tax benefit from these plans during either period.

Equity Incentive Plan. The Corporation established and the shareholders approved the 2010 Plan and the 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 also 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 also provides that no person may be granted more than 73,000 stock options or 27,750 shares of restricted stock in any one year.

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 is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions. The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from 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 option on the particular grant date.

There was no activity under the Plans in the second quarter and six months of either fiscal 2012 or 2011. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 184,450 stock options and 596,450 stock options available for future grants under the Plans, respectively.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity in the Plans for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was $1.4 million and $454,000 of unrecognized compensation expense, respectively, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted as outstanding stock option awards under the Plans. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years and 0.9 years, respectively. The forfeiture rate during the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011 was 20 percent and 25 percent, respectively, and was calculated by using the historical forfeiture experience of all fully vested stock option grants and is reviewed annually.

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.

There was no restricted stock activity in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 or 2011. For the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, a total of 100,300 shares and 800 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were vested and distributed, while no restricted stock was awarded or forfeited during either period. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 168,100 shares and 314,100 shares of restricted stock available for future awards under the Plans, respectively.

The following table summarizes the unvested restricted stock activity in the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the unrecognized compensation expense was $1.0 million and $675,000, respectively, related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements awarded as outstanding restricted stock awards under the Plans, and reported as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years and 0.9 years, respectively. Similar to stock options, a forfeiture rate of 20 percent and 25 percent has been applied for the restricted stock compensation expense calculations in the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of shares vested and distributed during the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $857,000 and $4,000, respectively.

Stock Option Plans. The Corporation established the 2003 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Stock Option Plans”) for key employees and eligible directors under which options to acquire up to 352,500 shares and 1.15 million shares of common stock, respectively, may be granted. Under the Stock Option Plans, stock options may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value at the date of the grant. Stock options typically vest over a five-year period on a pro-rata basis as long as the employee or director remains in service to the Corporation. The stock options are exercisable after vesting for up to the remaining term of the original grant. The maximum term of the stock options granted is 10 years. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the number of stock options available for future grants under the 2003 Stock Option Plan was 14,900 stock options. No stock options remain available for future grant under the 1996 Stock Option Plan, which expired in January 2007.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions. The expected volatility is based on implied volatility from 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 option on the particular grant date.

There was no activity in the Stock Option Plans for either the second quarter of fiscal 2012 or 2011, except forfeitures of 62,700 shares and 67,500 shares, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, there was no activity in the Stock Option Plans for either period, except forfeitures of 62,700 shares and 67,500 shares, respectively.

The following is a summary of the activity in the Stock Option Plans for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011.

Note 11: Subsequent Events

On January 12, 2012, the Corporation announced that the Bank has signed a lease agreement with the intention of opening a new full-service branch office in La Quinta, California. The full-service branch will become the Bank’s 15th and is slated to open in the early summer of 2012 subject to customary contingencies, contractual requirements and regulatory approvals.

On January 24, 2012, the Corporation announced a cash dividend of $0.04 per share, an increase of $0.01 per share as compared to the previous cash dividend. Shareholders of the Corporation’s common stock at the close of business on February 15, 2012 will be entitled to receive the cash dividend, payable on March 9, 2012.

On February 1, 2012, the Corporation announced that the Bank has hired a retail mortgage banking group who operate from locations in Roseville, San Rafael and Fairfield, California. The Bank will open Provident Bank Mortgage retail loan production offices in each of these cities which will house a total of 40 mortgage banking employees. The group is comprised of 26 retail production staff and 14 support staff. They bring established retail mortgage banking relationships and are expected to contribute immediately.

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

General

Provident Financial Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was organized in January 1996 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. upon the Bank’s conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank (“Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on June 27, 1996. The Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board. At December 31, 2011, the Corporation had total assets of $1.30 billion, total deposits of $953.9 million and total stockholders’ equity of $142.9 million. The Corporation has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiaries.

The Bank, founded in 1956, is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Riverside, California. The Bank is regulated by the Office of the 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 System since 1956.

The Bank’s business consists of community banking activities and mortgage banking activities, conducted by Provident Bank and Provident Bank Mortgage, a division of the Bank. Community banking activities primarily consist of accepting deposits from customers within the communities surrounding the Bank’s full service offices and investing those funds in single-family loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial business loans, consumer loans and other real estate loans. The Bank also offers business checking accounts, other business banking services, and services loans for others. Mortgage banking activities consist of the origination and sale of mortgage loans secured primarily by single-family residences. The Bank currently operates 14 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (commonly known as the Inland Empire). Provident Bank Mortgage operates wholesale loan production offices in Pleasanton and Rancho Cucamonga, California and retail loan production offices in City of Industry, Escondido, Glendora, Hermosa Beach, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside (4) and Roseville, California. The Bank’s revenues are derived principally from interest on its loans and investment securities and fees generated through its community banking and mortgage banking activities. There are various risks inherent in the Bank’s business including, among others, the general business environment, interest rates, the California real estate market, the demand for loans, the prepayment of loans, the repurchase of loans previously sold to investors, the secondary market conditions to sell loans, competitive conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, fraud and other risks.

The Corporation began to distribute quarterly cash dividends in the quarter ended September 30, 2002. On October 27, 2011, the Corporation declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share for the Corporation’s shareholders of record at the close of business on November 18, 2011, which was paid on December 12, 2011. Future declarations or payments of dividends will be subject to the consideration of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, which will take into account the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, tax considerations, capital requirements, industry standards, legal restrictions, economic conditions and other factors, including the regulatory restrictions which affect the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation. Under Delaware law, dividends may be paid either out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the current fiscal year and/or the preceding fiscal year in which the dividend is declared.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying selected Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Safe-Harbor Statement

Certain matters in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This Form 10-Q 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 in mind these risks and uncertainties, 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, land 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 by the OCC 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 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (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 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, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods; war or terrorist activities; and 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, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

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 a 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 applied to loans classified by type and loan grade, 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 which may also influence actual results. 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, which, can materially affect amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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.

A troubled debt restructuring (“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 accrued interest.

d) 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 determined it was appropriate to maintain certain restructured loans on accrual status because 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.

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 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with offsets to other assets or other liabilities in the Condensed 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 Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Condensed 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 and commercial real estate loans. The Bank also, to a lesser extent, makes 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 under certain circumstances unless the consumer consents, or opts in, to the overdraft service; this change has reduced the amount the Bank collects on overdraft protection fees.

During the next three years, subject to market conditions, the Corporation intends to improve its 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 preferred loans (i.e., multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans). In addition, 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 total balance sheet may decline or stabilize in response to current weaknesses in general economic conditions, which may improve capital ratios and mitigate credit and 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 has been increasing the number of mortgage banking personnel to capitalize on the increasing loan demand which is 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. Investment services operations primarily consist of selling alternative investment products such as annuities and mutual funds to the Bank’s depositors. Investment services and trustee services contribute a very small percentage of gross revenue.

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 management, credit risk management, operational risk management, 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 also 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 the Corporation. For further details on risk factors, see “Safe-Harbor Statement” on page 33 and “Item 1A – Risk Factors” on page 61.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s contractual obligations at December 31, 2011 and the effect these obligations are expected to have on the Corporation’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands):

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

In addition to the off-balance sheet financing arrangements and contractual obligations mentioned above, the Corporation has derivatives and other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks as described in Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 20 to 22.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011

Total assets decreased $15.9 million to $1.30 billion at December 31, 2011 from $1.31 billion at June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and loans held for investment, partly offset by an increase in loans held for sale. The slight decrease in total assets and the relatively high balance in cash and cash equivalents were consistent with the Corporation’s strategy of managing credit and liquidity risk.

Total cash and cash equivalents, primarily excess cash at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, decreased $9.1 million, or six percent, to $133.5 million at December 31, 2011 from $142.6 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in loans held for sale and a decrease in borrowings, partly offset by the decrease in loans held for investment and an increase in total deposits.

Total investment securities decreased $2.1 million, or eight percent, to $24.1 million at December 31, 2011 from $26.2 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities. For further analysis on investment securities, see Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 11 to 12.

Loans held for investment decreased $36.1 million, or four percent, to $845.5 million at December 31, 2011 from $881.6 million at June 30, 2011. Total loan principal payments during the first six months of fiscal 2012 were $68.4 million, a 20 percent increase from $57.0 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2011. In addition, real estate

owned acquired in the settlement of loans in the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $12.1 million, a 53 percent decline from $25.5 million in the same period last year. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank originated $29.1 million of loans held for investment, consisting primarily of multi-family and commercial real estate loans, compared to $679,000, primarily in commercial real estate and multi-family loans, for the same period last year. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank purchased $7.1 million of multi-family loans to be held for investment as compared to no loan purchases in the same period last year. The balance of preferred loans decreased to $402.3 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $413.0 million at June 30, 2011, and represented 46.1 percent and 45.3 percent of loans held for investment at such dates, respectively. The balance of single-family loans held for investment decreased six percent to $465.6 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $494.2 million at June 30, 2011, and represented approximately 53.4 percent and 54.2 percent of loans held for investment at such dates, respectively. This shift in the loan portfolio mix was consistent with the Corporation’s management of its credit risk profile in response to current economic conditions.

The table below describes the geographic dispersion of real estate secured loans held for investment at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, as a percentage of the total dollar amount outstanding (dollars in thousands):

Loans held for sale increased $35.1 million, or 18 percent, to $226.8 million at December 31, 2011 from $191.7 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the timing difference between loan fundings and loan sale settlements.

Total deposits increased $8.1 million, or one percent, to $953.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $945.8 million at June 30, 2011. Transaction accounts increased $23.3 million, or five percent, to $495.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $472.3 million at June 30, 2011; and time deposits decreased $15.2 million, or three percent, to $458.3 million at December 31, 2011 from $473.5 million at June 30, 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.

Borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased $30.0 million, or 15 percent, to $176.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $206.6 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to the scheduled maturities. The weighted-average maturity of the Bank’s FHLB – San Francisco advances was approximately 28 months at December 31, 2011, down from 29 months at June 30, 2011.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $1.2 million, or one percent, to $142.9 million at December 31, 2011, from $141.7 million at June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of net income, partly offset by stock repurchases (See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” on page 62) and quarterly cash dividends paid during the first six months of fiscal 2012.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters and Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

The Corporation’s net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $1.9 million, a decrease of $2.4 million or 56 percent, from $4.3 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in net earnings was primarily a result of a $2.8 million decrease in non-interest income and a $1.2 million increase in non-interest expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s net income was $4.2 million, a decrease of $4.6 million or 52 percent, from $8.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of a $1.2 million decrease in net interest income (before provision for loan losses), a $4.5 million decrease in non-interest income and a $2.2 million increase in non-interest expenses.

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, increased to 74 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from 57 percent for the same period of fiscal 2011. The increase in the efficiency ratio was primarily the result of the decrease in non-interest income and the increase in non-interest expense. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the efficiency ratio increased to 73 percent from 56 percent in the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the efficiency ratio was the result of a decrease in net interest income (before provision for loan losses), a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

Return on average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was 0.57 percent, down 67 basis points from 1.24 percent in the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the return on average assets was 0.64 percent and 1.27 percent, respectively, a decrease of 63 basis points.

Return on average equity for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was 5.16 percent compared to 12.62 percent for the same period last year. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the return on average equity decreased to 5.83 percent from 13.26 percent for the same period last year.

Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $0.16, compared to $0.37 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the diluted earnings per share was $0.36 and $0.77, respectively.

Net Interest Income:

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Net interest income (before the provision for loan losses) decreased $202,000, or two percent, to $9.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $9.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2011, due to a decline in average earning assets, partly offset by an increase in the net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets decreased $51.4 million, or four percent, to $1.26 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $1.31 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2011, consistent with the Corporation’s strategy of managing liquidity and credit risks. The net interest margin was 3.02 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, up six basis points from 2.96 percent in the same period of fiscal 2011 due to the decline in the average cost of liabilities outpacing the declining yield of interest-earning assets. The weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 43 basis points to 1.37 percent, while the weighted-average yield of interest-earning assets decreased by 36 basis points to 4.27 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period last year.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Net interest income (before the provision for loan losses) decreased $1.2 million, or six percent, to $18.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $19.5 million in the comparable period last year due primarily to a decline in average earning assets and a lower net interest margin. The average balance of earning assets decreased $61.4 million, or five percent, to $1.26 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $1.32 billion in the comparable period of fiscal 2011. The net interest margin was 2.90 percent in the first six months of fiscal 2012, a five basis point decrease from 2.95 percent for the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in the net interest margin during the six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily attributable to the decrease in the weighted-average yield of interest-earning assets which was more than the decrease in the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The weighted-average yield of interest-earning assets decreased by 50 basis points to 4.20 percent, while the weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 46 basis points to 1.41 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same period last year.

Interest Income:

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total interest income decreased by $1.7 million, or 11 percent, to $13.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $15.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of a lower average earning asset yield. The average balance of earning assets decreased $51.4 million, or four percent, to $1.26 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $1.31 billion during the comparable period of fiscal 2011. The average yield on earning assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 4.27 percent, 36 basis points lower than the average yield of 4.63 percent during the same period of fiscal 2011.

Loans receivable interest income decreased $1.6 million, or 11 percent, to $13.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $14.9 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2011. This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan yield, partly offset by a slightly higher average loan balance. The average loan yield during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 60 basis points to 4.60 percent from 5.20 percent during the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to the repricing of adjustable rate loans to lower interest rates, payoffs of loans which carried a higher average yield than the average yield of loans receivable and higher average balance of loans held for sale at lower average yield. The average balance of loans receivable, including loans held for sale, increased $7.5 million, or one percent, to $1.15 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2011.

Interest income from investment securities decreased $83,000, or 38 percent, to $134,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $217,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. This decrease was primarily a result of decreases in both the average balance and in average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased $7.6 million, or 24 percent, to $24.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $32.3 million during the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in the average balance was primarily due to a $3.3 million security which was called by the issuer in January 2011 as well as scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on investment securities decreased 52 basis points to 2.17 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from 2.69 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in the average yield of investment securities was primarily attributable to the repricing of mortgage-backed securities to lower interest rates. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Bank did not purchase any investment securities, while $1.1 million of principal payments were received on mortgage-backed securities.

The FHLB – San Francisco’s cash dividend received in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $20,000, compared to $30,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Bank received a $1.2 million partial redemption of the FHLB – San Francisco’s excess capital stock, similar to the $1.2 million capital stock redemption in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, was $37,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, down from $65,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease was due to a lower average balance for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period last year as the average yield was unchanged at 25 basis points. The average balance of the interest-earning deposits in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $57.2 million, a decrease of $46.4 million or 45 percent, from $103.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total interest income decreased by $4.6 million, or 15 percent, to $26.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $31.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of a lower average earning asset yield and, to a lesser extent, a lower average balance of earning assets. The average yield on earning assets during the first six months of fiscal 2012 was 4.20 percent, 50 basis points lower than the average yield of 4.70 percent during the same period of fiscal 2011. The average balance of earning assets decreased $61.4 million, or five percent, to $1.26 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $1.32 billion during the comparable period of fiscal 2011.

Loans receivable interest income decreased $4.4 million, or 14 percent, to $26.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $30.4 million for the same period ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was attributable to a lower average loan yield and a lower average loan balance. The average loan yield during the first six months of fiscal 2012 decreased 56 basis points to 4.71 percent from 5.27 percent during the same period last year. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to the repricing of adjustable rate loans to lower interest rates, payoffs of loans which carried a higher average yield than the average yield of loans receivable and a higher average balance of loans held for sale at lower average yield. The average balance of loans

outstanding, including loans held for sale, decreased $50.5 million, or four percent, to $1.11 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $1.16 billion in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest income from investment securities decreased $177,000, or 39 percent, to $281,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $458,000 in the same period ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily a result of decreases in both the average balance and in average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased $7.9 million, or 24 percent, to $25.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $33.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. The decrease in the average balance was primarily due to a $3.3 million security called by the issuer in January 2011 as well as scheduled and accelerated principal payments on mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on investment securities decreased 54 basis points to 2.23 percent during the six months ended December 31, 2011 from 2.77 percent during the same period ended December 31, 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. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank did not purchase any investment securities, while $2.0 million of principal payments were received on mortgage-backed securities.

The FHLB – San Francisco’s cash dividend received in the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $38,000, compared to a cash dividend of $66,000 received in the first six months of fiscal 2011. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank received a $2.4 million partial redemption of the FHLB – San Francisco’s excess capital stock, similar to the $2.4 million capital stock redemption in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, was $134,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2012, up slightly from $130,000 in the same period of fiscal 2011. The increase was due to a higher average balance for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period last year as the average yield was unchanged at 25 basis points. The average balance of the interest-earning deposits in the first six months of fiscal 2012 was $104.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million or two percent, from $103.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest Expense:

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $3.9 million as compared to $5.5 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 29 percent. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, particularly borrowings, and, to a lesser extent, a lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.37 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, down 43 basis points from 1.80 percent during the same period last year. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $71.6 million, or six percent, to $1.14 billion during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $1.21 billion during the same period of fiscal 2011, primarily as a result of the scheduled maturities of borrowings, partly offset by an increase in average deposits.

Interest expense on deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $2.2 million as compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $418,000, or 16 percent. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a lower average cost, offset slightly by a higher average balance. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.91 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from 1.11 percent during the same quarter last year, a decrease of 20 basis points. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was attributable to interest rate reductions in transaction account (“core”) deposits and new time deposits with a lower average cost replacing maturing time deposits with a higher average cost, consistent with current relatively low short-term market interest rates. The average balance of deposits increased $22.1 million to $955.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $933.0 million during the same period last year. The increase in the average balance was primarily attributable to an increase in the transaction account deposits. Strategically, the Bank has been promoting core deposits and competing less aggressively for time deposits. The increase in transaction accounts was also attributable to the impact of depositors seeking an alternative to lower yielding time deposits in light of the current low interest rate environment. The average balance of transaction deposits to total deposits in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 51 percent, compared to 50 percent in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased $1.1 million, or 38 percent, to $1.8 million from $2.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was the result of a lower average balance and to a lesser extent, lower average cost. The average balance of borrowings decreased $93.7 million, or 34 percent, to $185.7 million during

the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $279.4 million during the same period last year. The decrease in the average balance was due primarily to scheduled maturities. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 3.75 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from 4.09 percent in the same quarter last year, a decrease of 34 basis points. The decrease in average cost was due primarily to maturities of higher costing advances.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $8.2 million as compared to $11.6 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 29 percent. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower average balance, particularly borrowings, and, to a lesser extent, a lower average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings, was 1.41 percent during the six months ended December 31, 2011, down 46 basis points from 1.87 percent during the same period last year. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $83.7 million, or seven percent, to $1.15 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $1.23 billion during the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest expense on deposits for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $4.5 million as compared to $5.4 million for the same period last year, a decrease of $916,000, or 17 percent. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was primarily attributable to a lower average cost, partly offset by a higher average balance. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.94 percent during the six months ended December 31, 2011 from 1.15 percent during the six months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of 21 basis points. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was attributable primarily to new time deposits with a lower average cost replacing maturing time deposits with a higher average cost, consistent with declining short-term market interest rates. The average balance of deposits increased $19.5 million to $954.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $935.4 million during the same period last year. The increase in the average balance was primarily due to an increase in core deposits, partly offset by a slight decrease in time deposits, the result of the Bank’s strategic decision to compete less aggressively for this product. The average balance of transaction account deposits to total deposits in the first six months of fiscal 2012 was 51 percent, compared to 50 percent in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 decreased $2.5 million, or 41 percent, to $3.6 million from $6.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was primarily a result of a lower average balance and, to a lesser extent, a lower average cost. The average balance of borrowings decreased $103.2 million, or 35 percent, to $191.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $294.3 million during the same period last year. The decrease in the average balance was due primarily to the scheduled maturities. The average cost of borrowings decreased to 3.78 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from 4.14 percent in the same period ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of 36 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses:

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million, slightly higher as compared to $1.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. The loan loss provision in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was attributable to a $1.9 million specific loan loss provision resulting from loan classification downgrades, partly offset by a $757,000 recovery in the general loan loss provision. Total classified loans were $58.0 million at December 31, 2011 as compared $58.3 million at June 30, 2011 and to $76.1 million at December 31, 2010.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Corporation recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.1 million, compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.9 million during the same period of fiscal 2011. The loan loss provision in the first six months of fiscal 2012 was primarily attributable to a $3.2 million specific loan loss provision resulting from loan classification downgrades, partly offset by a $1.1 million recovery in the general loan loss provision.

The general loan loss allowance was determined through quantitative and qualitative adjustments including specific loan loss allowances in the loss experience analysis and to reflect the impact on loans held for investment resulting from the current general economic conditions of the U.S. and California economy such as the high unemployment rates, and lower home prices in California. See related discussion of “Asset Quality” on pages 48 to 55.

At December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $26.9 million, comprised of $15.5 million of general loan loss reserves and $11.4 million of specific loan loss reserves, in comparison to the allowance for loan losses of $30.5 million at June 30, 2011, comprised of $16.4 million of general loan loss reserves and $14.1 million of specific loan loss reserves. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans held for investment was 3.08 percent at December 31, 2011 compared to 3.34 percent at June 30, 2011. Management considers, based on currently available information, the allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment. For further analysis on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 13 to 20.

Non-Interest Income:

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total non-interest income decreased $2.8 million, or 28 percent, to $7.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $10.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by an improvement in the sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans.

The net gain on sale of loans decreased $3.4 million, or 37 percent, to $5.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $9.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. Total loans sold for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $674.3 million, a decrease of $15.4 million or two percent, from $689.7 million for the same quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for PBM during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 1.14 percent, down 58 basis points from 1.72 percent for the same period of fiscal 2011. The gain on sale of loans for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 includes a $672,000 recourse provision on loans sold that are subject to repurchase, compared to a $173,000 recourse provision in the comparable quarter last year. As of December 31, 2011, the total recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase was $5.3 million, compared to $4.2 million at June 30, 2011 and $5.3 million at December 31, 2010. See “Asset Quality” for additional information related to the recourse liability on page 49. The gain on sale of loans also includes an unfavorable fair-value adjustment on derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825, a net loss of $(4.7 million), in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustment, a net loss of $(7.0 million), in the same period last year. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825 resulted in a gain of $9.4 million, compared to a gain of $7.5 million at June 30, 2011 and a gain of $3.2 million at December 31, 2010.

Total loans originated and purchased for sale increased $8.4 million, or one percent, to $628.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $620.5 million for the same period last year. The loan origination volumes were achieved as a result of continuing favorable liquidity in the secondary mortgage markets particularly in FHA/VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan products, and a relatively high volume of activity resulting from relatively low mortgage interest rates. The mortgage banking environment, although showing improvement as a result of relatively

low mortgage interest rates, remains highly volatile as a result of the well-publicized weakness of the single-family real estate market.

The net gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans was $77,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to a net loss of $(690,000) in the same quarter last year. The net gain in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to a $778,000 recovery of losses on real estate owned, partly offset by a $496,000 net loss on the sale of real estate owned and operating expenses of $205,000. Forty real estate owned properties, including 23 undeveloped lots in Coachella, California, were sold in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 35 properties sold in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. See the related discussion on “Asset Quality” on pages 48 to 55.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total non-interest income decreased $4.5 million, or 22 percent, to $15.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $20.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by a net gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans.

The net gain on sale of loans decreased $5.6 million, or 30 percent, to $13.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $18.8 million in the same period last year. Total loans sold for the six months ended December 31, 2011 were $1.16 billion, a decrease of $120.5 million or nine percent, from $1.28 billion for the same period last year. The average loan sale margin for PBM during the first six months of fiscal 2012 was 1.13 percent, down 42 basis points from 1.55 percent for the same period of fiscal 2011. The gain on sale of loans for the first six months of fiscal 2012 includes a $1.8 million recourse provision on loans sold that are subject to repurchase, compared to a $709,000 recourse provision in the comparable period last year. The gain on sale of loans also includes a favorable fair-value adjustment on derivative financial instruments pursuant to ASC 815 and ASC 825, resulting in a net gain of $1.7 million, in the first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustment resulting in a net loss of $(3.7 million), in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Total loans originated and purchased for sale decreased to $1.20 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2012 as compared to $1.27 billion for the same period last year.

The net gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans was $109,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to a net loss of $(1.1 million) in the same period last year. The net gain in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to a $673,000 recovery of losses on real estate owned, partly offset by operating expenses of $429,000 and a $135,000 net loss on the sale of real estate owned. A total of 58 real estate owned properties, including 23 undeveloped lots in Coachella, California, were sold in the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 62 properties sold in the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Non-Interest Expense:

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total non-interest expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $12.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 11 percent, as compared to $11.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and an increase in other expenses related to loan originations, partly offset by a decrease in deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments.

Total salaries and employee benefits increased $815,000, or 11 percent, to $8.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $7.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to higher employee salaries and employee benefits related to the mortgage banking division.

Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments decreased $203,000, or 31 percent, to $461,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from $664,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower deposit insurance premiums resulting from an improvement in the Bank’s risk category rating and the change in the FDIC’s methodology for calculating the premium.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Total non-interest expense in the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $24.8 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 10 percent, as compared to $22.6 million in the same period last year. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in mortgage banking non-interest expenses, party offset by a decrease in deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments.

Total salaries and employee benefits increased $2.3 million, or 15 percent, to $17.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $14.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the mortgage banking division and, to a lesser extent, higher contributions to the ESOP and an adjustment resulting from the vesting of the restricted stock awards and stock option grants under the equity incentive plans.

Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments decreased $713,000, or 53 percent, to $632,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2012 from $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2011.

Provision for income taxes:

The income tax provision reflects accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, adjusted for the effect of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes, such as non-deductible stock-based compensation, bank-owned life insurance policies and certain California tax-exempt loans. Therefore, there are normal fluctuations in the effective income tax rate from period to period based on the relationship of net permanent differences to income before tax.

For the Quarters Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The income tax provision was $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $3.2 million for the same period last year. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was 42.3 percent as compared to 42.6 percent in the same quarter last year. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 reflects its current income tax obligations.

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The income tax provision was $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to an income tax provision of $6.7 million for the same period last year. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2011 decreased slightly to 42.7 percent as compared to 43.2 percent for the same period last year. The Corporation believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the first six months of fiscal 2012 reflects its current income tax obligations.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans, consisting solely of non-accrual loans with collateral primarily located in Southern California, decreased $5.6 million, or 15 percent, to $31.5 million at December 31, 2011 from $37.1 million at June 30, 2011. The non-performing loans at December 31, 2011 were primarily comprised of 89 single-family loans ($26.9 million); three multi-family loans ($2.3 million); three commercial real estate loans ($1.3 million); and one other mortgage loan ($972,000). No interest accruals were made for loans that were past due 90 days or more or if the loans were deemed impaired.

When a loan is considered impaired, as defined by ASC 310 “Receivables,” the Corporation measures impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. However, if the loan is “collateral-dependent” or foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral. At least quarterly, management reviews impaired loans. When the measured value 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. A general loan loss allowance is provided on loans not specifically identified as impaired (non-impaired loans). The general loan loss allowance is determined based on a quantitative and a qualitative analysis using a loss migration methodology. The loans are classified by type and loan grade, and the historical loss migration is tracked for the various stratifications. Loss experience is quantified for the most recent four quarters, and that loss experience is applied to the stratified portfolio at each quarter end. The qualitative analysis data includes current unemployment rates, retail sales, gross domestic product, real estate value trends, and commercial real estate vacancy rates, among other current economic data.

As of December 31, 2011, total restructured loans improved to $30.5 million from $39.2 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 22 percent. At December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, $13.3 million and $18.4 million, respectively, of these restructured loans were classified as non-performing. As of December 31, 2011, $22.3 million, or 73 percent, of the restructured loans have a current payment status; this compares to $31.0 million, or 79 percent, of restructured loans that had a current payment status as of June 30, 2011.

The non-performing loans as a percentage of loans held for investment improved to 3.72 percent at December 31, 2011 from 4.21 percent at June 30, 2011. Real estate owned was $7.8 million (32 properties) at December 31, 2011,

a decrease of $475,000 or six percent from $8.3 million (54 properties) at June 30, 2011. The Bank has not suspended foreclosure activity because, to date, the Bank has not been in a situation where its foreclosure documentation, process or legal standing has been challenged by a court. The Bank maintains the original promissory note and deed of trust for loans held for investment. As a result, the Bank does not rely on lost-note affidavits to fulfill foreclosure filing requirements.

Non-performing assets, which includes non-performing loans and real estate owned, as a percentage of total assets decreased to 3.03 percent at December 31, 2011 from 3.46 percent at June 30, 2011. Restructured loans which are performing in accordance with their modified terms and are not otherwise classified non-accrual are not included in non-performing assets. For further analysis on non-performing loans and restructured loans, see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 13 to 20.

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 second quarter and six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank repurchased one loan, totaling $480,000, and four loans, totaling $1.3 million, respectively, from investors pursuant to the recourse/repurchase covenants contained in the Bank’s loan sale agreements, while some additional repurchase requests were settled that did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself. In the second quarter and six months of fiscal 2011, the Bank did not repurchase any loans from investors, while some repurchase requests were settled that did not result in the repurchase of the loan itself. The primary reasons for honoring the repurchase requests were borrower fraud, undisclosed liabilities on borrower applications, and documentation, verification and appraisal disputes. For the second quarter and six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank settled claims for $592,000 and $688,000, respectively; and increased the recourse reserve by $100,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. This compares to the second quarter and six months of fiscal 2011 when the Bank settled claims for $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively; and decreased the recourse reserve by $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the total recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase was $5.3 million, compared to $4.2 million at June 30, 2011. The Bank has implemented tighter underwriting standards to reduce potential loan repurchase requests, including requiring higher credit scores, generally lower debt-to-income ratios, and verification of income and assets, among other criteria. Despite management’s diligent estimate of the recourse reserve, the Bank is still subject to risks and uncertainties associated with potentially higher loan repurchase claims from investors, primarily those related to loans originated and sold in the calendar years 2004 through 2007. The following table shows the summary of the recourse liability for the quarters and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

	For the Quarters Ended December 31,				For the Six Months Ended December 31,
Recourse Liability	2011		2010		2011		2010

A decline in real estate values subsequent to the time of origination of the Corporation’s 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 national disasters particular to California where substantially all of the Corporation’s real estate collateral is located. If real estate values continue to decline further from the levels described in the following tables (which were calculated at the time of loan origination), the value of real estate collateral securing the Corporation’s 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. The Corporation generally does not update the loan-to-value ratio

(“LTV”) on its loans held for investment by obtaining new appraisals or broker price opinions (nor does the Corporation intend to do so in the future as a result of the costs and inefficiencies associated with completing the task) unless a specific loan has demonstrated deterioration or the Corporation receives a loan modification request from a borrower (in which case specific loan valuation allowances are established, if required). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the LTV ratios disclosed in the following tables may be understated in comparison to their current LTV ratios as a result of their year of origination, the subsequent general decline in real estate values that occurred and the specific location of the individual properties. The Corporation has not quantified the current LTVs of its loans held for investment nor the impact the decline in real estate values has had on the original LTVs of its loans held for investment.

The following table describes certain credit risk characteristics of the Corporation’s single-family, first trust deed, mortgage loans held for investment as of December 31, 2011:

		Weighted-	Weighted-	Weighted-

The outstanding balance presented on this table may overlap more than one category. Of the outstanding balance, $20.2 million of “Interest only,” $22.1 million of “Stated income,” $2.2 million of “FICO less than or equal to 660,” and $1.8 million of “Over 30-year amortization” balances were non-performing.

(2)

Based on borrowers’ FICO scores at the time of loan origination. 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)	LTV is the ratio calculated by dividing the current 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 borrower stated income on his/her loan application which was not subject to verification during the loan origination process.

The reset of interest rates on adjustable rate mortgage loans (primarily interest only single-family loans) to a fully-amortizing status has not created a payment shock for most of the Bank’s borrowers primarily because the majority of the loans are repricing at a 2.75% margin over six-month LIBOR which has resulted in a lower interest rate than the borrowers pre-adjustment interest rate. 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.

Loans that the Bank has originated for sale are primarily sold on a servicing released basis. Clear ownership is conveyed to the investor by endorsing the original note in favor of the investor; transferring the servicing to a new servicer consistent with investor instructions; communicating the servicing transfer to the borrower as required by law; and shipping the original loan file and collateral instruments to the investor contemporaneous with receiving the cash proceeds from the sale of the loan. Additionally, the Bank registers the change of ownership in the mortgage electronic registration system known as MERS as required by the contractual terms of the loan sale agreement. The Bank does not believe that completing this additional registration clouds ownership of the note since the steps previously described have also been taken. Also, the Bank retains an imaged copy of the entire loan file and collateral instruments as an abundance of caution in the event questions arise that can only be answered by reviewing the loan file. Additionally, the Bank does not originate or sponsor mortgage-backed securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Corporation’s primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from the sale of loans originated and purchased for sale, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investment securities, 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.

The primary investing activity of the Bank is the origination and purchase of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. During the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011, the Bank originated and purchased $649.3 million and $620.6 million of loans, respectively. The total loans sold in the first six months of fiscal 2012 and 2011 were $674.3 million and $689.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Bank had loan origination commitments totaling $128.0 million and undisbursed lines of credit totaling $3.9 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments.

The Bank’s primary financing activity is gathering deposits. During the first six months of fiscal 2012, the net increase in deposits was $8.1 million in comparison to a net decrease in deposits of $6.3 million during the same period in fiscal 2011. On December 31, 2011, time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less were $264.4 million and the total time deposits with a principal amount of $100,000 or higher were $225.4 million, including brokered time deposits of $12.2 million. Historically, the 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 December 31, 2011, total cash and cash equivalents were $133.5 million, or 10 percent of total assets. Depending on market conditions and the pricing of deposit products and FHLB – San Francisco advances, the Bank may rely on FHLB – San Francisco advances for part of its liquidity needs. As of December 31, 2011, the financing availability at FHLB – San Francisco was limited to 35 percent of total assets; the remaining borrowing facility was $269.3 million and the remaining unused collateral was $361.9 million. In addition, the Bank has secured a $21.3 million discount window facility at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, collateralized by investment securities with a fair market value of $22.4 million. As of December 31, 2011, there was no outstanding borrowing under this facility.

Regulations require thrifts to maintain adequate liquidity to assure safe and sound operations. The Bank’s average liquidity ratio (defined as the ratio of average qualifying liquid assets to average deposits and borrowings) for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 increased to 38.0 percent from 34.7 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The relatively high level of liquidity is consistent with the Corporation’s strategy to mitigate liquidity risk during this period of economic uncertainty.

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 2.0 percent for Tangible Capital is required to be deemed other than “critically undercapitalized,” while a minimum of 5.0 percent for Core Capital, 10.0 percent for Total Risk-Based Capital and 6.0 percent for Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital is required to be deemed “well capitalized.” As of December 31, 2011, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to be deemed “well capitalized.” The Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2011 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Amount	Percent

Tangible capital	$ 138,591	10.68%
Requirement	25,960	2.00

Excess over requirement	$ 112,631	8.68%

Core capital	$ 138,591	10.68%
Requirement to be “Well Capitalized”	64,901	5.00

Excess over requirement	$ 73,690	5.68%

Total risk-based capital	$ 145,977	18.21%
Requirement to be “Well Capitalized”	80,145	10.00

Excess over requirement	$ 65,832	8.21%

Tier 1 risk-based capital	$ 135,892	16.96%
Requirement to be “Well Capitalized”	48,087	6.00

Excess over requirement	$ 87,805	10.96%

The ability of the Corporation to pay dividends to stockholders depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Corporation. The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if the effect thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below the regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal regulation. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Bank did not declare a cash dividend to the Corporation, while the Corporation paid $341,000 of cash dividends to its shareholders. For the first six months of fiscal 2012, the Bank declared and paid a cash dividend of $5.0 million to the Corporation, while the Corporation paid $686,000 of cash dividends to its shareholders.

Commitments and Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, in the form of originating loans or providing funds under existing lines of credit, loan sale agreements to third parties and option contracts. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in entering into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For a discussion on commitments and derivative financial instruments, see Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 20 to 22.

ITEM 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

One of the Corporation’s principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Corporation 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 Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation promotes transaction accounts and time deposits with terms up to five years.

Through the use of an internal interest rate risk model, the Bank is able to analyze its interest rate risk exposure by measuring the change in net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a variety of interest rate scenarios. NPV is 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, +100, +200 and +300 basis points (“bp”) with no effect given to steps that management might take to counter the effect of the interest rate movement. The current federal funds rate is 0.25% making an immediate change of -200 and -300 basis points improbable.

The following table is derived from the internal interest rate risk model and represents the NPV based on the indicated changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands).

					NPV as Percentage
	Net	NPV		Portfolio	of Portfolio Value		Sensitivity

(1) The June 30, 2011 interest rate risk results were provided by the OTS.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from time deposits could likely deviate significantly from those assumed when calculating the results described in the tables above. It is also possible that, as a result of an interest rate increase, the higher mortgage payments required from ARM borrowers could result in an increase in delinquencies and defaults. Changes in market interest rates may also affect the volume and profitability of the Corporation’s mortgage banking operations. Accordingly, the data presented in the tables in this section should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in the event of changes in interest rates. Furthermore, the NPV presented in the foregoing tables is not intended to present the fair market value of the Bank, nor does it represent amounts that would be available for distribution to shareholders in the event of the liquidation of the Corporation.

The Bank also models the sensitivity of net interest income for the 12-month period subsequent to any given month-end assuming a dynamic balance sheet (accounting for the Bank’s current balance sheet, 12-month business plan, embedded options, rate floors, periodic caps, lifetime caps, and loan, investment, deposit and borrowing cash flows, among others), and immediate, permanent and parallel movements in interest rates of plus 200, plus 100 and minus 100 basis points. The following table describes the results of the analysis at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

At December 31, 2011		At June 30, 2011
Basis Point (bp)	Change in	Basis Point (bp)	Change in
Change in Rates	Net Interest Income	Change in Rates	Net Interest Income
+200 bp	+27.84%	+200 bp	+32.23%
+100 bp	+16.76%	+100 bp	+21.70%
-100 bp	-9.42%	-100 bp	-12.00%

At both December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Bank was 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.

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, particularly with respect to the 12-month business plan when asset growth is forecast. Therefore, the model results that the Corporation discloses 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 4 – 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, Chief Financial Officer and the Corporation’s Disclosure Committee as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes 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 December 31, 2011 are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

b) There have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 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.
