NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
PROVIDENT BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 17, 1995.
NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income per share is based on the number of weighted average common
shares outstanding for the period (8,182,949 shares) which includes common stock
equivalents resulting from outstanding stock options and giving retroactive
treatment to the stock dividend of May 12, 1995 to the beginning of the year.
Exclusive of the retroactive restatement for the stock dividend, earnings per
share would have been $1.65 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
$.61 per share for the three months ended September 30, 1995. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, dividends of $.42 per common share were
declared and paid. Earnings per share for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 1994, restated for the stock dividend, were $1.26 and $.48 per
share, respectively.

NOTE C - INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Effective December 31, 1993 the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115"). Under SFAS No. 115, the investment
portfolio is divided among three categories: investment securities, securities
available for sale and trading account securities. Debt securities that the
Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are included in
investment securities and, accordingly, are carried at cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method.
Available for sale securities are reported at fair value with any unrealized
appreciation or depreciation in value reported directly as a separate component
of stockholders' equity as an unrealized gain or loss on debt securities which
is reflected net of applicable taxes, and therefore, have no effect on the
reported earnings of the Corporation.

At September 30, 1995 a net unrealized loss of $2.3 million was reflected
as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity in the Consolidated Statement of
Condition as compared to a total net unrealized loss of $8.5 million on
Securities Available for Sale at December 31, 1994. The September 30, 1995
amount includes a $4.6 million unrealized loss on the securities transferred to
the Investment Securities classification from the Available for Sale
classification and a $2.3 million unrealized gain on Securities Available for
Sale. For details regarding investment securities at December 31, 1994, refer to
Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated in the
Corporation's 10-K filed February 17, 1995. The unrealized loss incurred on the
transfer will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities using the
level yield method. This amortization expense is offset by the amortization of
the related discount on these securities created at the time of transfer and
results in no net charge to earnings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
__________________________________________________
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
__________________________________
PROVIDENT BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
FINANCIAL REVIEW
________________
EARNINGS SUMMARY
________________
Provident recorded a 41% increase in net income over the same period a year
ago. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was $4.8 million, or
$.58 per share, compared to $3.4 million or $.48 per share, for the third
quarter of the prior year. The higher earnings in 1995 were mainly due to
consumer loan growth and increased fee income. Consumer loans outstanding grew
$238 million as total loans increased 21% to $1.53 billion. Non-interest income
increased 14% over the third quarter of 1994 as lower mortgage volume and
annuity sales were more than offset by income from other fee based services
introduced in the past three years. The company deferred planned bulk sales of
mortgage servicing rights to a future period due to recognition of interest
income due on a federal income tax refund and receipt of the FDIC insurance
premium rebate. Higher account volume and continued investment in new fee based
initiatives contributed to a 3% increase in operating expenses. There was a $300
thousand provision for loan losses during the quarter with net charge-offs of
$131 thousand.
NET INTEREST INCOME
___________________
Tax-equivalent net interest income was $20.9 million for the third quarter
of 1995 which represented a $2.2 million increase over the prior year. Growth in
average earning assets contributed $5.5 million to net interest income which was
partially offset by a 56 basis point drop in net interest margin.
Provident's interest income on earning assets rose $12.2 million from the
third quarter of 1994, the result of a $534 million expansion in average earning
asset balances and a 37 basis point increase in yield. Earning asset growth was
the result of increases of $314 million in investments, $169 million in consumer
loans, $26 million in commercial business loans, $14 million in mortgage loans
held for sale and $10 million in real estate mortgage loans. Leveraging of
capital raised during the fourth quarter of 1994 generated the higher level of
earning assets. The increase in the yield was mainly attributable to the higher
interest rate environment.
Total interest expense was $9.9 million above a year ago, the combined
result of a $491 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities,
including $128 million in brokered deposits, $59 million in certificates of
10
<PAGE> 11
deposit and $320 million of borrowings. Savings deposits and money market
deposits declined $34 million. In addition, the average rate paid increased 101
basis points. Increases in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities are
attributable to a general rise in interest rates for longer term deposits as
well as borrowed money.
As a result of off-balance sheet transactions, interest income has been
decreased by $469 thousand and interest expense has been reduced by $739
thousand, for a net increase of $271 thousand for the quarter ending September
30, 1995. For the nine months ending September 30, 1995, interest income has
been decreased by $1.6 million and interest expense has been reduced by $2.3
million for an increase in net interest income of $700 thousand. The forward
yield curve indicates that short-term rates will fall by 25 basis points and
long term rates will rise 10 basis points over the next twelve months. The
Corporation's analysis indicates that if management did not adjust its September
30, 1995 off-balance positions and the forward yield curve assumptions became
reality, off-balance sheet positions would decrease net interest income by $1.35
million through the year 1996.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
_________________________
The Corporation recorded a $300 thousand provision for loan losses for the
quarter. Net charge-offs were $131 thousand compared to net recoveries of $123
thousand for the third quarter of 1994. The allowance for loan losses at
September 30, 1995 was $21.1 million, up slightly from the $20.8 million a year
ago. At September 30, 1995, the allowance represented 1.38% of total loans and
162% of non-performing and past due loans. Total non-performing loans were $13.0
million at September 30, 1995 compared to $9.8 million at September 30, 1994.
Residential mortgage loans represented $7.4 million of total non-performing
loans at September 30, 1995, $6.2 million of which are insured or guaranteed by
the United States Government. Contributing to the change was an increase in
consumer loans outstanding of $116 million for the quarter and $238 million from
the third quarter, 1994.

<PAGE> 12
NON-INTEREST INCOME
___________________
Non-interest income totaled $7.7 million in the third quarter of 1995
compared to $6.8 million in 1994. This 14% increase was accomplished as lower
mortgage volume and annuity sales were more than offset by income from other fee
based services introduced in the past three years. The company deferred planned
bulk sales of mortgage servicing rights to a future period compared to gains of
$2.5 million during the third quarter of 1994, due to recognition of interest
income on a federal income tax refund. The mortgage originations were $126
million for the third quarter of 1995 compared to $101 million for the third
quarter of 1994. Deposit service fees continued their upward trend, increasing
61% over the prior year following a 35% rise in the number of retail demand
deposit accounts since the third quarter of 1994 and a change in the fee
structure.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
____________________
Third quarter non-interest expense of $20.5 million was 3% or $618 thousand
higher than a year ago. Salaries and benefits rose 2.4% largely the result of
increased mortgage banking activities and additional supermarket branch
locations.
Occupancy costs increased $104 thousand or 5.4% over last year and
furniture and equipment expense increased $209 thousand resulting from branch
network expansion and upgrades of technology.
External processing fees increased $201 thousand due to increased account
volume. All other expenses decreased a total of $153 thousand mainly benefiting
from the receipt of the FDIC insurance premium rebate of $919 thousand.
INCOME TAXES
____________
Provident recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million based on income
before taxes of $7.6 million, an effective tax rate of 37%. During the third
quarter of 1994, Provident recorded tax expense of $2.0 million on pre-tax
income of $5.5 million, an effective tax rate of 37.5%.
FINANCIAL CONDITION

estate construction loans $6.6 million. Securities available for sale and
investment securities declined $62.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively. In

increased $16.1 million from December 31, 1994 levels while interest bearing
