On June 22, 2006, the Bank established the Provident Savings Bank Charitable Foundation (“Foundation”) in order to further its commitment to the local community.

General. The lending activity of the Bank is predominately comprised of the origination of first mortgage loans secured by single-family residential properties to be held for sale and, to a lesser extent, to be held for investment. The Bank also originates multi-family and commercial real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, construction, commercial business, consumer and other loans to be held for investment. Due to the decline in real estate values and deterioration of credit quality, particularly for single-family loans, and the Bank s short-term strategy to improve liquidity and preserve capital, the Bank has reduced its goal for new loans held for investment, particularly single-family loans. The Bank s net loans held for investment were $1.17 billion at June 30, 2009, representing approximately 73.8% of consolidated total assets. This compares to $1.37 billion, or 83.8% of consolidated total assets, at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2009, the maximum amount that the Bank could have loaned to any one borrower and the borrower's related entities under applicable regulations was $19.3 million, or 15% of the Bank s unimpaired capital and surplus.
