</TABLE>






























TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

We're very pleased with our third quarter performance.  Net earnings for the
quarter ended September 30, 1994, totaled $1,614,897, an increase of 30.2% 
over the third quarter of 1993.  On a comparative basis, per share earnings 
increased from $.15 in 1993 to $.20 in 1994; net
interest income improved by 5.5%; and, other expenses show a decrease of 3.4%.

Asset quality also continues to improve.  In September, 1993, non-performing
assets totaled approximately $12 million, or 1.93% of total assets.  In 
September, 1994, non-performing assets were $8.5 million, representing a 
better than peer 1.43% of total assets.

As you review this report, you'll note a number of significant balance sheet
changes between the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the previous quarter, 
and the third quarter of 1993.

The first of those changes is in Stockholders' Equity.  On July 1, 1994, we 
redeemed all of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.  In addition, we 
converted $1,300,000 of Series D Preferred Stock to Series B Convertible 
Preferred Stock, effectively lowering the dividend rate on the entire 
$3,300,000 of previously outstanding Series D shares from 9.00% to 7.50%.

Secondly, loans have declined by close to $68 million since September 30, 
1993.  As mentioned last quarter, much of the decrease is related to our 
efforts to improve portfolio quality. At the same time, a good share of the 
new loans we've generated over the past year have been real estate loans 
which we've sold to the secondary market.  By continuing to service these
loans without carrying them on our balance sheet we've locked in an income 
stream without taking an interest rate risk as rates rise.  We anticipate 
loan demand will begin to increase in future quarters and plan to continue 
focusing on selective portfolio growth.

Finally, the number of authorized and outstanding shares has increased 
substantially as a result of the 3-for-1 stock split, in the form of a 200% 
stock dividend, on July 1, 1994.  All per share information in this report 
has been adjusted to reflect this change.  On the effective date of the 
"split", the bid price of Premier Stock on the NASDAQ National Over-
the-Counter market was $7.25.  Recent trades indicate a range of $7.50 to 
$8.25.

We remain encouraged by Premier's financial outlook as 1994 draws to a close. .
Through the end of the third quarter, we've already exceeded 1993's year end
net income.  Per share earnings for the first nine months this year are only
$.03 lower than those recorded for all of 1993.  We appreciate your support 
and confidence, and are committed to superior
performance on your behalf.

Cordially,

Richard L. Geach                              David L. Murray
