MESSAGE TO PARTICIPANTS IN
PROVIDENT NATIONAL'S
VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
This semiannual report of Separate Account B contains the financial
statements and portfolio information of Separate Account B for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. Comparative figures which relate to Separate Account B's
activities during the first half of 1995 are provided below.
The accumulation unit value for Separate Account B increased 14.5% in
the first half of 1995, from $5.410722 at year end 1994 to $6.194660 on June
30, 1995. During this same period, the S&P 500 Index rose by a yield adjusted
18.1%. Reflecting transfers to the fixed-dollar account, as well as
withdrawals and retirements, the number of accumulation units outstanding on
June 30, 1995, was 1,883,861, down from 2,097,793 six months earlier. As a
result of withdrawals, net purchase payments received, and changes in the
accumulation unit value, total contract owners' equity on June 30, 1995, was
$12,570,675 compared to $12,171,347 on December 31, 1994.
The economy is likely to average 3% growth for this year, and the rate
of inflation should be 3% or lower. We seem to be in a "soft landing" phase,
with slower economic growth, but not slow enough to push us into recession.
Most companies reported earnings above expectations for the first half
of the year, and stock prices appreciated in response. Stock market
performance in the second half of the year is unlikely to match the first half.
However, attractive second half returns are possible in individual stocks and
market sectors that are currently priced below their fundamental value.
Thank you for your continued support.
/s/ David Fussell

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
PROVIDENT NATIONAL ASSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT B
NOTE A--INVESTMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Separate Account B is a segregated investment account of Provident National
Assurance Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Provident Life and Accident
Insurance Company) and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, as an open-end diversified management investment company.
Common stocks, preferred stocks, bonds, and U.S. Government securities are
valued at published market quotations which represent the closing sales price
for securities traded on a national stock exchange or the mean between the
quoted bid and asked prices for those traded over-the-counter. Short-term
investments are valued at cost plus accrued interest.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses are credited to or charged to variable
annuity contract owners' equity. The identified cost basis has been used in
determining realized gains and losses on sales of investments. If determined
on the average cost basis, the net realized gain would have been $1,171,737 and
$563,363 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31,
1994, respectively. When a security's value is determined to be permanently
impaired, a realized loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations. A
realized loss of $76,960 was recognized for one such security for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. There were gross unrealized gains of $2,204,007
and gross unrealized losses of $136,146 at June 30, 1995. Security
transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold
which is the common practice of the industry. Dividends are taken into income
on an accrual basis as of the ex-dividend date.
A summary of the cost of investments purchased and proceeds from investments
sold for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31,
1994 is shown below.
