PROVIDENT BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 1996 annual report on Form 10-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All data relating to Provident Bancorp's Common Stock and per Common
Share information has been adjusted for 3-for-2 common stock splits
effective May 24, 1996 and December 19, 1996.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Provident Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, 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 No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" as amended by Statement No. 127,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB
Statement No. 125, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 125" on January
1, 1997. This Statement provides standards for distinguishing
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are
secured borrowings. Under this Statement, a company would remove from
the balance sheet those assets it no longer controls and liabilities
it has satisfied. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 had no material impact
on Bancorp's financial position or results of operations.
Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" establishes revised standards
for computing and presenting earnings per share. It replaces the
presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with a
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings
per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
-5-
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. This
Statement is effective for financial statements for both interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Bancorp's pro forma
basic and diluted earnings per share would not have differed
materially from primary and fully diluted earnings per share.
Stock Options
Options to purchase 48,000 shares of Bancorp Common Stock were granted
during the first three months of 1997. The options have exercise
prices ranging from $36.10 to $37.76.
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 March 31,
1997, these off-balance sheet instruments consisted of standby letters
of credit of $115.1 million, commitments to extend credit of $1.8
billion and interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $2.2
billion.
Acquisition
On February 12, 1997, Bancorp completed its previously announced
acquisition of South Hillsborough Community Bank. South Hillsborough,
which had $40 million in assets at the time of merger, is a Florida
state chartered bank having three offices in Hillsborough County,
Florida. This transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and
accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded
at estimated fair value. South Hillsborough's shareholders received
189,259 shares of Bancorp Common Stock having an aggregate value of
$7,151,900 as a result of the merger.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Summary
Bancorp's net earnings for the first quarter of 1997 were $27.3
million compared to $19.7 million for the first quarter of 1996. Net
interest income increased by $6.1 million, or 11%, over the comparable
period in 1996. Interest income increased by $11.5 million, or 9%,
which more than offset the $5.4 million, or 8%, increase in interest
expense. The provision for loan and lease losses was $11.0 million, an
increase of $1.0 million from the first quarter in 1996. Noninterest
income increased $18.0 million, or 96%, due primarily to gains
recognized on the sale of loans and leases. Noninterest expense
increased $11.0 million, or 30%, primarily as a result of the
restructuring of retail banking's delivery channels and lending
functions, the national expansion of Provident Consumer Financial
Services ("PCFS") and the continued development of the MeritValu
division.
As noted above, the recognition of gains on the sale of loans and
leases made a significant contribution to Bancorp's net income during
the first quarter of 1997. Of the $14.9 million gain recorded during
this period, $10.5 million was realized from the sale of $140.1
million of residential closed-end nonconforming home equity loans
originated by PCFS. The following is a summary of selected operational
data for PCFS for the past five quarters (in millions):
Quarter Ended
Mar. 1997 Dec. 1996 Sept. 1996 June 1996 March 1996

The ratio of noninterest expense to tax equivalent revenue
("efficiency ratio") was 48.1% for the first three months of 1997
compared to 47.5% for the first three months of 1996. For purposes of
calculating the efficiency ratio, noninterest expense excludes non-
recurring expenses. Tax equivalent revenue includes tax equivalent net
interest income and noninterest income but excludes non-recurring
income, and security gains or losses.
Nonperforming assets as of March 31, 1997 increased $5.9 million
compared to December 31, 1996, but decreased $7.8 million compared to
March 31, 1996. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans and
leases was .47% at March 31, 1997, compared to .41% at December 31,
1996 and .66% at March 31, 1996. The ratio of nonperforming assets to
total loans, leases and other real estate owned was .68% at March 31,
1997, compared to .54% at December 31, 1996 and .86% at March 31,
1996.
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
$6.0 million for the first three months of 1997 over the comparable
period in 1996. This increase resulted from a $3.6 million increase
due to changes in volume and a $2.4 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 4.04% for the first three
months of 1997 as compared to 3.95% for the comparable period in 1996.
The improvement in the net interest margin during this period reflects
the increase in the average rate received on interest earning assets
of 9 basis points, more than offsetting the increase in the average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities of 5 basis points. The
increase in Bancorp's overall rate on interest earning assets was due
to the increase in the rate received on equipment leases. The increase
in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was due to a
higher average rate paid on demand deposits and long-term debt.
Interest rate swaps increased the net interest margin by 27 basis
points and 17 basis points during the first three months of 1997 and
1996, respectively.
In preparing the net interest margin tables, nonaccrual loan balances
are included in the average balances for loans and leases. Fees
included in interest and fees on loans and leases during the first
quarter of 1997 and 1996 were $3.9 million and $5.0 million,
respectively.
-8-
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $18.0 million during the first quarter of
1997 compared to the same quarter in 1996. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased primarily as a result of increased fees received on
corporate demand deposit accounts. Gain on sales of loans and leases
increased primarily as a result of $10.5 million in gains on the sale
of non-conforming home equity loans by PCFS and $2.8 million in gains
on the sale of seasoned residential loans. Security gains of $2.2
million were recognized primarily from the sale of mortgage-backed
securities. The increase in other income was due primarily to
additional revenues from operating leases resulting from the
acquisition of Information Leasing Corporation.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $11.0 million during the first quarter
of 1997 when compared to 1996. Compensation expense increased
primarily as a result of the acquisition of Information Leasing, the
expansion of PCFS and MeritValu, and the restructuring of consumer
lending and retail distribution. Equipment expense increased due
primarily to the depreciation of expanded telebanking and computer
equipment. Professional fees increased due primarily to increased
management consulting fees. Charges and fees increased primarily as a
result of a $1.0 million charge-off on other real estate owned and
increased loan origination costs. Marketing expense and franchise
taxes were the primary reasons for the increase in other expense.
Financial Condition
Short-Term Investments
Federal funds sold and reverse repurchase agreements increased $191.2
million during 1997. The amount of federal funds sold changes daily as
cash is managed to meet reserve requirements and customer needs. After
funds have been allocated to meet lending and investment requirements,
the remainder is placed in overnight federal funds. The higher level
of federal funds sold at March 31, 1997 was a result of having
additional funds available from the sale of residential loans at the
end of the quarter.
Loans and Leases
Total loans and leases decreased $239.7 million during 1997. The
decrease was due primarily to the sale of $409.3 million in
residential loans during the first three months of 1997.

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):
1997 1996
Balance at January 1 $66,693 $60,235
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses 11,000 10,000
Loans and Leases Charged Off (11,572) (10,002)
Recoveries 2,250 733
Balance at March 31 $68,371 $60,966
Net charge-offs totaled $9.3 million for both the first quarter of
1997 and 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, net charge-offs for
commercial lending were $1.2 million which was primarily caused by the
charge-off of one commercial mortgage loan. Net charge-offs for
consumer lending were $8.1 million which consisted principally of auto
loans and credit cards. As a percentage of total loans and leases
outstanding, the reserve was 1.35% at March 31, 1997 compared to 1.26%
at December 31, 1996 and 1.25% at March 31, 1996. The increase in the
ratio reflects the sale of low risk seasoned residential loans during
the first quarter of 1997.
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 increased $5.9 million during the
first three months of 1997. Nonaccrual loans increased $2.2 million
due primarily to one loan and two leases being added during the first
three months of 1997. Other real estate increased $4.0 million due
primarily to foreclosing on one commercial property. At March 31,
1997, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans, leases and
other real estate was .68% which compares favorably to Bancorp's most
recent five-year average of .85%.
Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt decreased $131.9 million, or 22%, to $467.7 million
during the first quarter of 1997. The decrease was due primarily to
the reduction of overnight federal funds.
Long-Term Debt
During the first three months of 1997, long-term debt decreased $183.7
million, or 19%, reflecting the repayment of debt, primarily to the
Federal Home Loan Bank.
Capital Resources and Adequacy
During the first three months of 1997, shareholders' equity increased
$23.9 million, or 5%, to $540.7 million. Dividends of $6.5 million on
common stock and $158,000 on preferred stock were paid in the first
quarter of 1997. Unrealized gains/losses on marketable securities, net
of deferred income taxes, decreased $7.3 million during the first
three months of 1997.
-11-
The following table of ratios is important to the analysis of the
adequacy of capital resources.
Three Months Ended Year Ended
March 31, 1997 December 31, 1996
Average Shareholders' Equity to Average Assets 7.78% 7.23%
Preferred Dividend Payout to Net Earnings .58 .66
Common Dividend Payout to Net Earnings 23.88 26.40
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio 9.11 9.02
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 9.48 9.23
Total Risk-Based Capital To Risk-Weighted Assets 13.25 13.05
Capital expenditures planned by Bancorp for building improvements and
furniture and equipment in 1997 are currently estimated to be
approximately $9 million. Included in this amount are projected
capital expenditures for the purchase or construction of system
applications, data processing equipment, ATMs and branches. Through
March 31, 1997, approximately $2.7 million of these expenditures have
been made.
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, deposits with other banks and federal funds sold. Another source
is the generation of new deposits. Bancorp may borrow both short-term
and long-term funds. Bancorp has an additional $687.5 million
available for borrowing under a $1 billion bank notes 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 March 31, 1997 by
its banking subsidiaries was approximately $128.3 million. The Parent
has not received dividends from its subsidiaries during the first
quarter of 1997.
At March 31, 1997, the Parent had $133.2 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 $40 million in
general purpose lines of credit. These lines had not been used at
March 31, 1997. The Parent had approximately $231.0 million in cash
