Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On January 14, 2004, Provident Bancorp,  Inc. (the "Company") completed
its  acquisition  of ENB Holding  Company,  Inc.  ("ENB")  and its  wholly-owned
subsidiary,   Ellenville  National  Bank.  As  part  of  the  acquisition,   ENB
stockholders  received  consideration  of $4,830.00  per share for each share of
ENB's common stock issued and outstanding,  converted into cash or shares of the
Company's  common stock at a rate of 521.3997 shares for each E.N.B.  share. The
aggregate  purchase price for the transaction was  approximately  $76.5 million.
The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits

(a)      Not Applicable

(b)      Pro Forma Financial Information

            The  unaudited pro forma  condensed  combined  financial  statements
attached  as  Exhibit 99 ("pro  forma  financial  statements")  are based on the
historical financial statements of ENB and the Company and have been prepared to
illustrate the effect of the acquisition.

            The  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  combined  balance  sheet as of
December  31,  2003  as  Exhibit  99  is  based  on  the  unaudited   historical
consolidated  balance sheets of the Company and ENB at that date,  assuming that
the  acquisition  had been  consummated  on December 31, 2003 and  accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting.

            The unaudited pro forma income statements reflect the combination of
the  historical  results of operations of the Company and ENB for the year ended
September 30, 2003 and for the year ended  December 31, 2003.  The unaudited pro
forma income statements give effect to the acquisition using the purchase method
of accounting and assume that (1) the  acquisition  occurred as of the beginning
of the  respective  periods  presented,  and (2) the amount of initial  goodwill
equaled the amount  reflected  in the  unaudited  pro forma  condensed  combined
balance sheet as of December 31, 2003.

            These pro forma financial  statements  should be read in conjunction
with  the  historical   consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  notes
contained in the  Company's  December 31, 2003 Form 10-Q and  September 30, 2003
Form 10-K; and in ENB's Regulatory  Report #FRY-9 filed with the Federal reserve
Bank for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2003.






            The  combined   company   expects  to  achieve   benefits  from  the
acquisition including operating cost savings and revenue enhancements. These pro
forma financial  statements do not reflect any potential cost savings or revenue
enhancements  that are expected to result from the combination of the operations
of the Company and ENB and, accordingly, may not be indicative of the results of
future operations. No assurances can be given with respect to the ultimate level
of cost savings or revenue  enhancements to be realized.  As a result, these pro
forma financial statements are not necessarily  indicative of either the results
of  operations  or  financial  condition  that would have been  achieved had the
acquisition  in fact occurred on the date  indicated,  nor do they purport to be
indicative  of the results of  operations  or  financial  condition  that may be
achieved in the future by the combined company.






                                    SIGNATURE

         Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,
the  Registrant  has duly  caused  this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
