NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation. The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The financial statements presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in Provident Bancorp, Inc.'s 1995 annual report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All data relating to Provident Bancorp's common stock and per share
information has been adjusted for a 3-for-2 common stock split
effective May 24, 1996.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Provident Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Bancorp"), all of which
are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been
made to conform to the current year presentation.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all
information and footnotes necessary to be in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Bancorp adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" on January 1, 1996. This
statement requires that long-lived assets be segregated into two
categories, those to be held and used and those to be disposed of.
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment
whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when the sum of the
expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
assets. In this situation, an impairment loss is recorded in the
amount of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair
value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of that are subject to the
reporting requirements of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -- Reporting the Effects
of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions" are to be measured at
the lower of carrying amount or net realizable value. Long-lived
assets to be disposed of that are not subject to APB Opinion No. 30
requirements are to be accounted for at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value less cost to sell.
SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" was also
adopted by Bancorp on January 1, 1996. Under this statement, when
mortgage loans are originated or purchased by an institution and
subsequently sold or securitized with servicing retained, the cost of
the loan shall be allocated between the loan (without servicing) and
the fair value of the servicing. Prior to this statement, no costs of
the loan were allocated to the servicing. Additionally, the statement
specifies how mortgage servicing rights and excess servicing rights
should be evaluated for impairment.
The adoption of SFAS No. 121 and SFAS No. 122 had no material impact
on Bancorp's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued in
October, 1995. The statement encourages, but does not require,
adoption of a fair value-based accounting method for stock-based
employee compensation plans. Bancorp elected to continue its
accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees", whereby no compensation expense is
recognized for the granting of stock options. Pro forma disclosures of
what net earnings and earnings per share would have been had the new
fair value method been used will be presented in Bancorp's 1996 annual
report on Form 10-K.
Stock Options
Pursuant to Bancorp's 1988 Stock Option Plan and 1992 Outside
Director's Stock Option Plan, options to purchase 554,950 shares of
Bancorp common stock were granted during the first six months of 1996.
The options have exercise prices ranging from $31.75 to $35.86.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Agreements
In the normal course of business, Bancorp uses various financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk to manage its interest rate
risk and to meet the financing needs of its customers. At June 30,
1996, these off-balance sheet instruments consisted of standby letters
of credit of $107.0 million, commitments to extend credit of $1.7
billion and interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $2.2
billion.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Summary
Bancorp's net earnings for the second quarter of 1996 were $20.3
million compared to $16.5 million for the second quarter of 1995. Net
interest income increased by $9.6 million, or 20%, over the comparable
period in 1995. Interest income increased by $13.5 million, or 12%,
which more than offset the $3.9 million, or 6%, increase in interest
expense. The provision for loan and lease losses increased $10.8
million, or 358%, to cover the growth of total loans and leases and
expected net charge-offs during 1996. Noninterest income increased
$9.7 million, or 76%, primarily due to increases in service charges on
deposits and other income. Noninterest expense increased $2.7 million,
or 8%, primarily as a result of increases in compensation expense,
professional services and other expense which more than offset a
decrease in deposit insurance.
Bancorp's net earnings for the first six months of 1996 were $39.9
million compared to $31.5 million for the first six months of 1995.
Net interest income increased by $20.9 million, or 22%, over the
comparable period in 1995. Interest income increased by $33.3 million,
or 15%, which more than offset the $12.4 million, or 10%, increase in
interest expense. The provision for loan and lease losses increased
$18.8 million, or 375%, to cover an increase in the balance of total
loans and leases and expected net charge-offs during 1996. Noninterest
income increased $17.7 million, or 75%, primarily due to the increase
in other service charges and fees and other income. Noninterest
expense increased $6.7 million, or 10%, primarily due to increases in
compensation expense, professional services and other expense which
more than offset a decrease in deposit insurance.
The following ratios compare returns on average assets and average
equity for the first six months of 1996 and for the year 1995.
Six Months Ended Year Ended
June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995
Net Earnings to Average Assets(1) 1.28% 1.29%
Net Earnings to Average Shareholders' Equity(1) 18.02% 18.37%
<FN>
(1)Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1996 have been annualized.
The ratio of noninterest expense to tax equivalent revenue
("efficiency ratio") was 46.2% for the first six months of 1996
compared to 56.9% for the first six months of 1995. Tax equivalent
revenue includes tax equivalent net interest income and noninterest
income but excludes non-recurring gains and security gains or losses.
The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to increased
noninterest income which grew at a proportionately greater rate than
noninterest expense.
Nonperforming assets as of June 30, 1996 decreased $19.6 million
compared to December 31, 1995, but increased $2.2 million compared to
June 30, 1995. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans and
leases was .39% at June 30, 1996, compared to .86% at December 31,
1995 and .55% at June 30, 1995. The ratio of nonperforming assets to
total loans, leases and other real estate owned was .57% at June 30,
1996, compared to .98% at December 31, 1995 and .59% at June 30, 1995.
Net Interest Income
See Table 1 for net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and
Table 2 for consolidated average balances, average rates and net
interest margin.
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased approximately
$20.9 million for the first six months of 1996 over the comparable
period in 1995. This increase resulted from a $11.8 million increase
due to changes in volume and a $9.1 million increase which was caused
by changes in rates. Volume changes are caused by changes in the
average balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities. The net interest margin was 3.97% for the first six
months of 1996 as compared to 3.81% for the comparable period in 1995.
The improvement in the net interest margin during this period reflects
the decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities
of 30 basis points, more than offsetting the decrease in the average
rate received on interest earning assets of 13 basis points. The
decrease in Bancorp's overall rate on interest bearing liabilities was
due to the decline in the rate paid on deposits and long-term debt,
which more than offset an increase in higher cost liabilities. The
decrease in the average rate earned on interest earning assets was due
to a lower average rate earned on commercial and financial loans which
was partially offset by an increase in higher yield assets. Bancorp's
interest bearing liabilities have reacted more quickly to changing
interest rates in the environment than its interest earning assets,
causing the net interest margin to increase. Interest rate swaps
increased the net interest margin by 21 basis points during the first
six months of 1996. During the first six months of 1995, interest rate
swaps decreased the net interest margin by 20 basis points.
In preparing the net interest margin tables, nonaccrual loan balances
are included in the average balances for loans and leases. Loan and
lease fees are included in loan and lease revenue as follows: second
quarter 1996 - $3.8 million, second quarter 1995 - $4.1 million, year-
to-date 1996 - $8.8 million, and year-to-date 1995 - $8.7 million.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
For the first six months of 1996 and 1995, the provision for loan and
lease losses was $23.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The
increase in the provision was the result of two factors. Total loans
and leases have increased by $601.2 million, or 14%, over the last
twelve months. Additionally, a higher level of charge-offs and lower
level of recoveries are expected during 1996 compared to 1995.
Noninterest Income
Second Quarter 1996 Compared to Second Quarter 1995
Noninterest income increased $9.7 million during the second quarter of
1996 compared to the same quarter in 1995. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased primarily due to increased fee rates on corporate
deposit accounts, nonsufficient funds and ATM usage. Service charges
and fees include $2.1 million of gains and fees related to commercial
lending during the second quarter of 1996 and a $2.7 million gain from
the sale of mortgage loan servicing rights during the same time period
in 1995. Gain on sales of loans and leases increased primarily due to
gains recorded on the sale of consumer leases. Other income increased
primarily as a result of the receipt of additional consideration
related to a restructured loan.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
1995
Noninterest income increased $17.7 million during the first six months
of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Service charges on
deposit accounts, other service charges and fees and other income
increased primarily for the same reasons given in the quarterly
comparison.
Noninterest Expense
Second Quarter 1996 Compared to Second Quarter 1995
Noninterest expense increased $2.7 million during the second quarter
of 1996 when compared to 1995. Compensation expense, primarily in the
areas of commercial and consumer lending, securities brokerage, and
customer service, increased as a result of merit and promotion
increases, increases in incentives and increased personnel. Equipment
expense increased primarily due to the depreciation of expanded
telebanking and computer equipment. The decline in deposit insurance
expense was due to the lowering of the FDIC insurance rate.
Professional fees increased primarily due to management consulting and
residential loan subservicing expenses. Increases in franchise taxes,
loan origination expense and credit card processing were the primary
reasons for the increase in other expense.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
1995
Noninterest expense increased $6.7 million during the first half of
1996 when compared to 1995. Areas of significant change were in
compensation expense, deposit insurance, professional fees, and other
expense. The explanation of these changes are the same as those given
in the quarterly comparison.
Financial Condition
Investment Securities
Investment securities increased $161.1 million during 1996. During
1996, Bancorp purchased $175.0 million in securitized credit card
portfolios. In addition, Bancorp securitized approximately $64
million of its own residential mortgage loans which resulted in this
balance being transferred from residential loans to investment
securities.
Loans and Leases
Total loans and leases increased $99.9 million during 1996. The
increase was primarily due to growth in consumer lease financing.

financial loan category by industry type at June 30, 1996 (dollars in

Bancorp maintains a reserve to absorb potential losses in its loan and
lease portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the
reserve is based on reviews of specific loans and leases, credit loss
experience, general economic conditions and other pertinent factors.
Loans and leases deemed uncollectible are charged off and deducted
from the reserve and recoveries on loans and leases previously charged
off are added to the reserve. Management considers the present reserve
to be appropriate and adequate to cover potential losses inherent in
the loan and lease portfolio based on the current economic
environment. However, future economic changes cannot be predicted.
Deterioration in general economic conditions could result in an
increase in the risk characteristics of the loan and lease portfolio
and an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses.
The following table shows the progression of the reserve for loan and
lease losses (dollars in thousands):
1996 1995
Balance at January 1 $60,235 $51,979
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses 23,750 5,000
Loans and Leases Charged Off (24,807) (6,483)
Recoveries 1,991 3,779
Balance at June 30 $61,169 $54,275
Net charge-offs totaled $22.8 million during the first six months of
1996 compared to $2.7 million for the same time period in 1995. Net
charge-offs for commercial lending were $14.2 million which was
comprised principally of commercial and financial loans. Net charge-
offs for consumer lending were $8.6 million which consisted primarily
of instalment loans. Management expects the trend in net charge-offs
to decline in the second half of 1996. As a percentage of total loans
and leases outstanding, the reserve was 1.22% at June 30, 1996
compared to 1.23% at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995.
Table 3 shows a comparison of the major components of nonperforming
assets over the past five quarters along with various asset quality
ratios. Nonperforming assets have decreased $19.6 million during the
first six months of 1996. Nonaccrual loans decreased $18.6 million
during the first six months of 1996. Significant activity within
nonaccrual loans includes the addition of a loan for $5.2 million, the
charge-off of five loans totaling $11.1 million, the transfer of two
loans to other real estate totaling $6.6 million and the repayment of
one loan for $5.2 million. Renegotiated loans decreased $4.2 million
primarily due to the sale of one loan. Other real estate increased
$3.3 million. Significant activity within other real estate includes
the transfer in of two nonaccrual loans totaling $6.6 million, as
noted above, and the sale of one property for $3.8 million. At June
30, 1996, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans, leases
and other real estate is .57% which compares favorably to Bancorp's
most recent five-year average of .94%.
Deposits
Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $68.4 million, or 13%, from
December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996. The decrease was primarily in
commercial deposits.
Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt increased $182.3 million, or 29%, to $819.5 million
during the first half of 1996. The increase was due to the purchase of
overnight federal funds.
Capital Resources and Adequacy
During the first six months of 1996, shareholders' equity increased
$25.8 million, or 6%, to $458.3 million. Dividends of $10.4 million on
common stock and $259,000 on preferred stock were paid in the first
six months of 1996. Unrealized gains on marketable securities, net of
deferred income taxes, decreased $4.1 million during the first six
months of 1996.
The following table of ratios is important to the analysis of the
adequacy of capital resources.
Six Months Ended Year Ended
June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995
Average Shareholders' Equity to Average Assets 7.11% 7.02%
Preferred Dividend Payout to Net Earnings 0.65 3.39
Common Dividend Payout to Net Earnings 25.94 22.78
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio 7.11 7.13
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 7.73 7.52
Total Risk-Based Capital To Risk-Weighted Assets 11.79 11.77
Bancorp's quarterly dividend on its common stock increased from $.18
per share to $.21 per share effective with the dividend paid in the
second quarter of 1996. This higher dividend rate should cause the
common and preferred dividend payout ratios to increase in the future.
Capital expenditures planned by Bancorp for building improvements and
furniture and equipment in 1996 are currently estimated to be
approximately $16 million. Included in this amount are projected
capital expenditures for improvements of data processing capabilities
and improvement of the branch banking network, with emphasis being
placed on enhancing the branches located in local supermarkets and
placement of additional ATMs. Bancorp also intends to expand and
improve its telephone banking operations. Through June 30, 1996,
approximately $7.0 million of these expenditures have been made.
Management believes that currently available funds and funds provided
by normal operations will be sufficient to meet capital requirements.
Liquidity
Adequate liquidity is necessary to meet the borrowing needs and
deposit withdrawal requirements of customers as well as to satisfy
liabilities, fund operations and support asset growth. Bancorp has a
number of sources to provide for liquidity needs. First, liquidity
needs can be met by the liquid assets on its balance sheet such as
cash and deposits with other banks. Another source is the generation
of new deposits. Bancorp may borrow both short-term and long-term
funds. Bancorp has an additional $137.5 million available for
borrowing under a medium-term bank note program. Additional sources of
liquidity include the sale of investment securities and the sale of
commercial and consumer loans and leases.
The major source of liquidity for Bancorp on a parent-only basis ("the
Parent") is dividends paid to it by its subsidiaries. Pursuant to
Federal Reserve and state banking regulations, the maximum amount
available for dividend distribution to the Parent at June 30, 1996 by
its banking subsidiaries was approximately $114.5 million. The Parent
has not received dividends from its subsidiaries during the first six
months of 1996.
At June 30, 1996, the Parent had $132.4 million of short-term
commercial paper outstanding. A portion of commercial paper proceeds
was used to fund short-term loans. Contractual lines of credit
totaling $175 million have been obtained by the Parent to support its
commercial paper borrowings. Also, the Parent has $30 million in
general purpose lines of credit. These lines had not been used at June
30, 1996. The Parent had approximately $126.8 million in cash and
interest earning deposits at June 30, 1996.
