Item 1.  Financial Statements.

     The following consolidated financial statements of the
Company are submitted herewith as an exhibit and are incorporated herein by
reference:

     1.  Consolidated Balance Sheets, June 30, 1995, June 30, 1994 
         and December 31, 1994.

     2.  Consolidated Statements of Earnings, quarters ended June 
         30, 1995 and 1994 and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 
         1994.

     3.  Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, six months ended  
         June 30, 1995 and 1994.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial        
         Condition and Results of Operations.     

     Premier Financial Services, Inc.'s per share earnings for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 edged up to $.17 as compared to $.15
per share recorded in the first quarter this year and $.16 in the
second quarter of 1994.  Year to date earnings totaled $2.67
million, slightly less than $2.75 million in 1994.  Year-to-date
earnings per share results were unchanged at $.32 due to lower
preferred dividends.  Return on average assets and common equity 
was .86% and 9.97%, respectively for the six months ended June 30,
1995, as compared to .93% and 9.89% for the same period in 1994.

Year-to-date net interest income totaled $10.8 million in 1995, as
compared to $10.5 million in 1994.  Net interest income for the
second quarter of 1995 increased by approximately $168,000 and
$160,000 as compared to the first quarter of 1995 and the second
quarter of 1994.  The slight period-to-period increases are
primarily a result of earning asset volume as opposed to rate or
net interest margin improvement.  Average earning assets totaled
$553.6 million at June 30, 1995, an increase of $32.8 million from
$520.8 million reported at June 30, 1994.  Net loans have grown by
more than $17 million since year end 1994.  The increase in loans
was funded by a $30 million or 7% growth in interest-bearing
deposits.  Compression of our net interest margin continues as it
declined to 4.19% at June 30, 1995 from 4.21% and 4.32% at March
31, 1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively.  

Nonperforming loans decreased to $4.6 million, or 1.54%, of total
loans as of June 30, 1995 compared to $5.7 million, or 1.99%, of
total loans at December 31, 1994.  The allowance for possible loan
losses as a percentage of total loans decreased from 1.30% at
December 31, 1994 to 1.04% at June 30, 1995.  The adequacy of the
allowance for possible loan losses remains consistent with the
composition of the portfolio and recent credit quality history. 

                               -2-

As the loan portfolio continues to grow, it is likely that normal
provisions to the allowance for possible loan losses will increase
in conjunction with the anticipated growth.

Total noninterest income, excluding gains on investment securities,
decreased $54,000 in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the
same period in 1994.  The decrease is attributable to a one-time
recovery recorded in 1994.  Noninterest expenses in the second
quarter of 1995 increased approximately $156,000 as compared to
1994.  Contributing to the increase were expenses relating to our
aggressive collection efforts such as legal fees and costs
associated with temporary holding of other real estate for sale.

In the second quarter of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Financial Accounting Statement No. 122, "Accounting
for Mortgage Servicing Rights".  Statement 122 requires a company
to recognize an asset for the rights to service mortgage loans for
others, regardless if the owner purchased the rights or originated
the rights themselves.   Previously, when a company purchased
mortgage servicing rights, the value was recorded on the financial
statements as an asset.  However, the value of the servicing rights
created by the origination of mortgage loans was not recorded. 
This Statement applies prospectively on January 1, 1996.  Premier
plans on implementing FAS No. 122 on January 1, 1996 and it is the
opinion of management that implementation will have an immaterial
effect on the financial condition of the Company.
