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 acquisition. Premier recorded seven
branches purchased from Nationsbank, adding approximately $116,000,000
in assets during the first three quarters 1995.
EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
Net income for the first nine months of 1995 was $6,658,000, a
$367,000 or 5.22% decrease over the $7,025,000 earned for the same
period in 1994 due largely to a decrease in security gains of $771,000.
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 nine months of 1995 decreased to
$1.33 compared to $1.41 for the same period in 1994, with 4,987,802
average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ending
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, before provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, was $21,297,000, a $733,000, or 3.56%
increase from $20,564,000 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) decreased 9 basis points to 4.11%. The
tax-equivalent yield on earning assets increased from 7.97% in 1994 to
8.45%, or 48 basis points in 1995 while the rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities increased 57 basis points to 4.34%.
The net yield (fully taxable equivalent) on earning assets
decreased 3 basis points in 1995 to 4.70% compared to 4.73% in 1994.
Yields on loans and fed funds sold increased 45 and 225 basis points
while the yield on taxable investment securities increased 23 basis
points and the yield on nontaxable remained the same. Average rates
paid on demand deposits decreased by only 2 basis points while savings
decreased 12 basis points. Rates on large denomination and other time
deposit rates increased 71 and 83 basis points, respectively. The rate
paid on short-term borrowings increased 260 basis points. Also, long-
term debt was outstanding in 1995 with and average rate of 4.85% that
did not exist in 1994.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
Total other income decreased $313,000 or 8.62% to $3,317,000 due
largely to net security losses in 1995 of $104,000 compared to net
security gains of $667,000 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 $338,000, or 23.06%, trust department income remained virtually the
same, and other service charges commissions and fees increased $52,000,
or 4.59%. Other operating income increased $67,000 largely due to an
increase in gains on sales of foreclosed properties of $23,000 and an
increase in safe deposit box income of $35,000.
OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES (Continued)
Other expenses increased $1,250,000 or 8.83% over September 30,
1994. Salaries increased 6.16%, or $348,000 and employee benefits
decreased $116,000 or 7.04%. The most significant changes in other
operating expenses were an increases in data processing fees of
$257,000, increased stationary and supplies expense of $240,000, postage
of $94,000, accounting and auditing expense of $77,000, and an increase
in bank franchise tax of $143,000. There was a substantial decrease of
$307,000 in legal fees in the first nine months of 1995 compared to the
same period of 1994 following the settlement of a suit which had been
pending and accrued for in 1994. Also, because of the adjustment of
the FDIC rate, FDIC assessment decreased $290,000 over last year. Due
to the branch acquisitions, amortization of goodwill increased $230,000
for the first nine months of 1995 compared to 1994. Occupancy and
furniture and fixtures costs increased $91,000 or 6.16%. Less
significant increases and decreases account for the difference.
INVESTMENTS, LOANS, AND DEPOSITS
Largely due to the seven additional branches in 1995, net loans
increased $32,100,000 or 8.90%, investments increased $26,879,000 or
11.61%, fed funds sold increased $21,190,000 or 122.91%, with an
increase in total assets of $99,067,000 or 15.12% for the first nine
months of 1995. Demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, large
denomination certificates and other time deposits increased 25.26%,
21.50%, 15.82%, and 31.83%, respectively. Savings decreased by 9.85%
from December 1994. Short-term debt which includes fed funds purchased,
repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings decreased $9,564,000
over year end 1994. Also, during the third quarter 1995, the parent
company paid off $7,200,000 borrowed during the second quarter 1995 to
provide additional capital to two of its affiliates.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The allowance for loan and lease losses on September 30, 1995 was
$5,635,000 compared to $5,844,000 at December 31, 1994, and $5,633,000
at September 30, 1994. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses
to total loans net of unearned income was 1.41% at September 30, 1995.
Charge-offs were $798,000 for the first nine months of 1995 compared to
$587,000 for the same period in 1994. Recoveries of $274,000 were
booked in the first nine months of 1995; $290,000 in 1994. Management
believes the allowance is adequate at the September 30,1995 level with
year to date provisions made of $315,000.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total stockholders equity or capital amounted to $69,658,000 at
September 30, 1995. The leverage ratio at September 30, 1995 was 8.00%.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY
Almost the entire deposit base is made up of core deposits with
only 7.83% of total deposits composed of certificates of deposit of
$100,000 and over. At September 30, 1995, federal funds and investment
securities maturing within one year amounted to $57,783,000, or 8.68% of
total deposits. In addition, $111,057,000 of investment securities or
16.69% 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.
