</FONT><FONT FACE="Times"><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On July 25, 2006, the Board of Directors
of Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (&quot;Company&quot;) approved the following cash award payments to the
Company's executive officers under the Fiscal 2006 Annual Incentive Plan: Craig G. Blunden, President and Chief Executive Officer, $196,219; Lilian Brunner, Senior Vice President-Chief Information Officer, $35,405; Thomas &quot;Lee&quot; Fenn, Senior Vice President-Chief Lending Officer, $38,007; Richard L. Gale, Senior Vice President-Mortgage Banking, $445,450; and Donavon P. Ternes, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, $75,644.  The Board of Directors also approved a $29,484 cash award payment to former executive officer Milton J. Knox who resigned effective June 30, 2006.  The incentive-based cash awards are calculated as a percentage of the executive officers' annual base salary which is then adjusted (pre-determined formula) higher or lower by comparing actual business plan results to pre-determined business plan goals and by individual performance to pre-determined individual performance goals.</P>

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Board of Directors also approved a $6,000 cash award payment and a grant of 1,500 non-qualified stock options to each non-executive member of the Board of Directors.  The options vest at a rate of 20% per year beginning July 25, 2007.</P>
