ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION:
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Premier's non-bank subsidiaries, Premier Bank Services Corporation and
Professional Financial Services of Virginia, Inc. remain inactive.
Premier formed a new non-bank trust subsidiary, Premier Trust Company in
January 1995 which is now operating. In addition, Premier acquired the
former Dickenson-Buchanan Bank located in Clintwood, Virginia at year-
end 1994 using the pooling-of-interest method of accounting. Prior year
financial data reflects this purchase. Premier recorded six of the
seven branches purchased from Nationsbank, adding approximately
$105,000,000 in assets during the second quarter 1995.
EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
Net income for the first six months of 1995 was $4,190,000, a
$642,000 or 13.29% decrease over the $4,832,000 earned for the same
period in 1994 due largely to a decrease in security gains of $835,000.
One affiliate bank during the first quarter of 1994 disposed of bonds
backed by the failed Executive Life Insurance Company, which were in
default and had previously been written down, adding approximately
$513,000 in security gains; $339,000, net of the tax effect. On a per
share basis, net income for the first six months of 1995 decreased to
$0.84 compared to $0.97 for the same period in 1994, with 4,987,802
average shares outstanding for the six months ending June 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, before provision for loan losses for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, was $13,872,000, a $386,000, or 2.86%
increase from $13,486,000 recorded for the same period of 1994. The net
interest differential for this period (the difference between the tax-
equivalent yield on interest-bearing assets and the rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities) increased 7 basis points to 4.20%. The
tax-equivalent yield on earning assets increased from 7.88% in 1994 to
8.42%, or 54 basis points in 1995 while the rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities increased 47 basis points to 4.22%.
The net yield (fully taxable equivalent) on earning assets
increased 12 basis points in 1995 to 4.77% compared to 4.65% in 1994.
Yields on loans and fed funds sold increased 34 and 236 basis points
while the yield on taxable investment securities increased 24 basis
points and the yield on nontaxable remained the same. Average rates
paid on demand deposits remained the same while savings decreased 12
basis points. Rates on large denomination and other time deposit rates
increased 55, and 68 basis points, respectively. The rate paid on short-
term borrowings increased 254 basis points. Also, long-term debt was
outstanding in 1995 with and average rate of 5.55% that did not exist in
1994.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Total other income decreased $567,000 or 21.98% to $2,013,000 due
largely to net security losses in 1995 of $153,000 compared to net
security gains of $682,000 in 1994. As mentioned previously, the
majority of the 1994 security gains was from a $513,000 gain by one
affiliate bank from the sale of bonds which were in default and had been
previously written down. Service charges on deposit accounts increased
by $98,000, or 10.23%, trust department income increased $47,000, and
other service charges commissions and fees increased $52,000. Other
operating income increased $71,000 largely due to an increase in gains
on sales of foreclosed properties of $21,000 and an increase in safe
deposit box income of $32,000.
Other expenses increased $658,000 or 7.05% over June 30, 1994.
Salaries increased 6.16%, or $229,000 and employee benefits decreased
$62,000 or 5.92%. The most significant changes in other operating
expenses were an increase in data processing fees of $156,000,
increased stationary and supplies expense of $87,000, accounting and
auditing expense of $81,000, and an increase in bank franchise tax of
$43,000. There was a substantial decrease of $307,000 in legal fees
between the first six months of 1995 when compared to the same period of
1994 following the settlement of a suit which had been pending and
accrued for in 1994. Also, due to the branch acquisitions, amortization
of goodwill increased $84,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared
to 1994. Occupancy and furniture and fixtures costs increased
$52,000 or 9.65%. Less significant increases and decreases account for
the difference.
INVESTMENTS, LOANS, AND DEPOSITS
Largely due to the purchase of six additional branches in the
second quarter 1995, net loans increased $23,480,000 or 6.51%,
investments increased $14,607,000 or 6.31%, fed funds sold increased
$38,764,000 or 224.85%, with an increase in total assets of $99,496,000
or 15.19% for the first six months of 1995. Demand deposits, interest-
bearing demand deposits, large denomination certificates and other time
deposits increased 17.22%, 16.05%, 22.96%, and 28.33%, respectively.
Savings decreased by 7.23% from December 1994. Short-term debt which
includes fed funds purchased, repurchase agreements and short-term
borrowings decreased $4,219,000 over year end 1994. Also, during the
second quarter 1995, the parent company borrowed $7,200,000 to provide
additional capital to two of its affiliates, thereby increasing long-
term debt by $7,000,000 over December 1994.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The allowance for loan and lease losses on June 30, 1995 was
$5,849,000 compared to $5,844,000 at December 31, 1994, and $5,409,000
at June 30, 1994. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to
total loans net of unearned income was 1.50% at June 30, 1995. Charge-
offs were $521,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared to $299,000
for the same period in 1994. Recoveries of $211,000 were booked in the
first six months of 1995; $234,000 in 1994. Management believes the
allowance is adequate at the June 30,1995 level, after making provisions
during the year of $315,000.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders equity or capital amounted to $67,756,000 at
June 30, 1995. The leverage ratio at June 30, 1995 was 7.74%.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY
Almost the entire deposit base is made up of core deposits with
only 8.43% of total deposits composed of certificates of deposit of
$100,000 and over. At June 30, 1995, federal funds and investment
securities maturing within one year amounted to $73,462,000, or 11.20%
of total deposits. In addition, $95,054,000 of investment securities or
14.49% of deposits, mature within the 1-5 year range.
The policy of Premier is to maintain the relationship between rate-
sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities which will maximize
future profit levels, given existing expectations of interest rate
movements.
