PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
     Premier Bankshares Corporation ("Premier") was incorporated
in May 1986 to operate as a bank holding company and acquired its
first two affiliates, Bank of Speedwell, Inc. ("Speedwell"), and
Tazewell National Bank ("TNB") in November 1986.  Peoples Bank,
Inc., ("Peoples") was acquired in July 1987 and Richlands
National Bank ("RNB") in August 1987.  The merger of Premier and
Shawsville Bancorp, Inc., was consummated on September 29, 1990,
which added another affiliate, Bank of Shawsville, Inc.
("Shawsville").  Bank of Speedwell and Bank of Shawsville were
merged as of October 9, 1991, under the name Premier Bank, Inc.
("PBI").  These banks operate at 25 banking locations in the
Virginia Counties of Tazewell, Wythe, Pulaski, Russell, Scott,
Montgomery, Wise and City of Salem.
Dickenson-Buchanan Bank was acquired effective December 31, 1994,
adding three additional branches in Buchanan and Dickenson counties. 

     Premier's subsidiary banks offer a full range of banking
services, including commercial, installment and real estate
loans, as well as checking, savings, and individual retirement
accounts and certificates of deposit.  Each bank has trust powers
and trust services are offered at each bank through the
administrative support of the trust department of TNB.

     Premier's philosophy allows its affiliate banks to retain
their names and to exercise a degree of independence under their
respective boards of directors and officers, subject to
accountability for financial condition and operating results. 
Premier believes that this preserves community contact and
customer loyalty without sacrificing the centralized direction
and operating efficiencies of a larger holding company.  The
principal role of Premier is to assist subsidiary banks with
burdensome regulatory and administrative tasks, to coordinate
activities and ensure common direction, and to supervise overall
strategic and financial plans.  Premier assists its affiliates in
management of their investment and loan portfolios and
coordinates pension, hospitalization, and other benefit plans for
employees.  Premier also assists in developing and coordinating
auditing and marketing programs, and performs certain accounting
and planning functions for all subsidiaries.

     Premier Bank Services Corporation, a nonbank subsidiary
Virginia corporation, was chartered February 16, 1989 to process
certain consumer loans for affiliate banks.  Its Articles of
Incorporation were amended in 1990 to allow it to sell insurance
products.  At December 21, 1993, this corporation was inactive.

     Shawsville Bancorp, Inc., procured the incorporation of
Professional Financial Services of Virginia, Inc., a nonbank
subsidiary Virginia corporation, March 2, 1987, to render
accounting and tax return preparation services.  This Corporation
is inactive.

Competition

     Premier and its affiliate banks face strong competition in
their respective market areas from other commercial banks and
savings institutions.  In addition, they face competition for
deposits from money market funds and similar investment vehicles. 
Certain of its competitors are branches of much larger statewide
banks; others are affiliates of much larger bank holding
companies.

Supervision and Regulation

     Premier is a bank holding company registered under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("the Act").  As a bank
holding company, Premier is required to file with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board" or Board") periodic reports and such additional
information as the Board may require pursuant to the Act.  The
Board also reviews and acts on all applications for establishing
nonbank subsidiaries.  The act requires approval by the Board
prior to any acquisition by Premier of substantially all the
assets or ownership or control of any bank, if after such
acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly,
more that five (5%) percent of the voting shares of such bank. 
It also prohibits the acquisition by Premier of the stock or
substantially all the assets of any bank located in a state other
than Virginia unless the statutory law of the state in which such
bank is located specifically authorizes such acquisition. 
Virginia and certain neighboring states, including West Virginia
(effective January 1, 1988) Kentucky and Tennessee, have
reciprocal agreements regarding limited interstate banking
activities.

     The Act prohibits Premier, with certain exceptions, from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
five percent of the voting shares of any company which is not a
bank or bank holding company, and from engaging directly or
indirectly in any activity other than that of banking or of
managing or controlling banks.  One of the principal exceptions
to this prohibition is for activities which the Federal Reserve
Board determines to be so closely related to banking or managing
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.  In
making such determination, the Board is required to weigh the
expected benefits to the public (such as greater convenience,
increased competition or gains in efficiency) against the risks
of possible adverse effects (such as undue concentration of
resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest
or unsound banking practices).  The Board has adopted regulations
which specify certain permitted activities, subject to Board
approval in individual cases.  No such activities are now
contemplated by management of Premier which are not already being
engaged in by the Banks.

     The primary federal and state banking agencies responsible
for regulating the holding company  and its subsidiaries are: 
Premier Bankshares Corporation and Premier Bank, Inc., the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Virginia Bureau of
Financial Institutions, respectively; Peoples Bank, Inc., the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Virginia Bureau of
Financial Institutions, respectively; and Tazewell National Bank
and Richlands National Bank, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, solely.

     According to announcement of Paul G. Fritts, Executive
Director of the FDIC, Section 131 of the FDIC Improvement Act of
1991 (FDICIA) amends the Federal Deposit Insurance Act by adding
a new Section 38 that restricts or prohibits certain activities
and requires an insured institution to submit a capital
restoration plan when it becomes undercapitalized.  None of the
above institutions have been required to submit a capital
restoration plan.  The FDIC's final rule, effective December 19,
1992 applies primarily to state-chartered banks and insured U.S.
branches of foreign banks that are supervised by the FDIC, as
well as to directors and senior executive officers of those
institutions.  Portions of the FDIC rule also apply to all
insured depository institutions that are deemed to be "critically
undercapitalized."  The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision
have adopted parallel rules for the institutions they supervise.

     Three degrees of inadequate capitalization trigger separate
types of remedial action:

     Undercapitalized:  Failure to maintain a total risk-based
capital ratio of at least eight percent, or a Tier 1 risk-based
ratio of at least four percent, or a leverage ratio of at least
four percent renders a bank "undercapitalized."  FDICIA mandates
that an undercapitalized institution file a capital restoration
plan with 45 days of the date it becomes undercapitalized.  The
institution also is subject to automatic restrictions on dividend
and management fees, asset growth restriction, and prohibitions
against making acquisitions, opening branches or engaging in new
lines of business without the prior approval of its primary
federal regulator.  Other harsher restrictions may be imposed on
a case-by-case basis.

     Significantly Undercapitalized:  Failure to maintain a total
risk-based capital ratio of less than six percent, a Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratio of less than three percent, or a leverage
ratio of less than three percent renders a bank "Significantly
Undercapitalized."  Such an institution is subject to the
restrictions that automatically apply to undercapitalized banks
and thrifts, as well as to other limitations that include
mandatory prohibitions against the payment of bonuses and raises
to senior executive officers without the regulator's prior
approval.  Other discretionary restrictions also may be imposed.

     Critically Undercapitalized:  Having "tangible equity" to
assets ratio of two percent or less renders a bank "Critically
Undercapitalized."  "Tangible equity" combines elements of core
capital (such as common equity capital) and cumulative perpetual
preferred stock minus all intangible assets except for limited
amounts of purchased mortgage servicing rights.  Critically
undercapitalized banks are subject to the restrictions that apply
to undercapitalized and significantly undercapitalized banks, as
well as to other prohibitions that the FDIC has been given
authority to enforce and the insurer of deposits.

     At a minimum, any critically undercapitalized bank,
regardless of its primary federal regulator, must receive prior
written approval from the FDIC before it can take actions that
include:  engaging in any material transactions other than in the
usual course of business, extending credit for highly leveraged
transactions (HLTs), amending its charter or bylaws, making any
material changes in accounting methods, engaging in certain
transactions with affiliates, paying excessive compensation or
bonuses, or paying above-market interest rates on deposits. 
Under FDICIA, a critically undercapitalized bank generally is
prevented paying from principal and interest on its subordinated
debt and will be placed in conservatorship or receivership if its
capital level is not increased within a prescribed time limit.

     The final rule also amends Part 308 of the FDIC's
regulations by establishing procedures for "downgrading" an
institution to a lower category.  For example, the restrictions
for undercapitalized institutions may be applied to an
institution that meets minimum capital requirements but otherwise
is in a less-than-satisfactory condition, such as one that has
significant asset quality problems.  The final rule also includes
procedures for issuing and contesting "prompt corrective action"
directives.  Such directives include those from the FDIC
requiring an institution to dismiss directors and senior
executive officers.

Government Monetary Policies and Economic Controls

     The earnings growth of the Registrant and its subsidiaries
are affected by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve
System.  An important function of the Federal Reserve System is
to regulate the national supply of credit in order to deal with
economic conditions.  The instruments employed by the Federal
Reserve are open market operations of U. S. Government
securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank
borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements on bank deposits. 
These policies influence in various ways the level of
investments, loans and deposits and rates earned on earning
assets and interest rates paid on liabilities.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

     The information required by this item is included in the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this
filing.

Financial Information About Domestic Operations
     The information required by this item is included in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included elsewhere in this filing.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     Premier purchased its current headquarters building, located in
Bluefield, Virginia, in October 1994.

    TNB owns its main office at Hillsboro Drive and Market
Street, and branch offices on West Main Street and in the
Riverjack section, Tazewell, Virginia, and branch offices in
the Towns of Bluefield and Pocahontas, Virginia. 

     PBI owns the historic George Wythe Hotel building in the
town of Wytheville, remodeled for bank use in 1977. It owns
eight other bank premises in Wythe, Pulaski and Montgomery
Counties and the City of Salem, and an unimproved lot in the City
of Roanoke.  The unimproved lot was bought by Bank of Shawsville,
Inc., into which Bank of Speedwell, Inc., was merged, and after
which its name was changed to Premier Bank, Inc.  Bank of
Shawsville, Inc., bought the Roanoke lot for a branch location,
but no application for such use has yet been made.  PBI leases
space in the George Wythe hotel building to others.  The rent
received has no material effect on either the operations of
Premier Bank, Inc., or its parent, Premier Bankshares
Corporation.

     Peoples owns its main office in the Town of Honaker, and
branch offices in the Towns of Lebanon, Cleveland, Dungannon,
Gate City in the unincorporated villages of Castlewood
and Duffield, all in Virginia.

     RNB owns its main office premises in the heart of the Town
of Richlands, Virginia, a branch facility in the unincorporated
village of Raven, and a branch facility in the Town of Cedar
Bluff, Virginia.  RNB also opened an additional branch in
the Claypool Hill area of Cedar Bluff, Virginia in 1994.

    D-B Owns its main office in the town of Haysi, Virginia and operates
three additional branches in Davenport, Clintwood, and Pound, Virginia.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     From time to time, Premier or its affiliate banks are
parties to lawsuits arising from the normal course of business,
in which claims for money damages are asserted.  If such claims
now pending were resolved against Premier or its affiliates, and
awards made for the full amounts sought, the effect would be
material and adverse upon Premier's financial condition. 
Management, after consultation with legal counsel handling these
claims, is of the opinion that the possibility of such awards is
remote, and that resolution of such claims, even if adverse to
Premier or its affiliates, will not have a material adverse
effect upon Premier's financial condition.  In each pending
instance in which a claim is asserted against Premier or an
affiliate, the alternative of succumbing to an unfounded claim is
unacceptable.  In each such instance there are undisputed facts
undergirding Premier's or its affiliate's positions.  Having been
drawn into litigation by either a debtor's breach or by a claim
deemed after careful study to be without merit, Premier intends
to pursue and secure its legal remedies to the fullest extent
possible.

     The litigation brought by the former president and chief executive officer
of Premier, previously disclosed, has been settled on terms satisfactory to
Premier.  

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     There were no matters submitted to a vote of security
holders during the fourth quarter of 1994.

     The holders of common stock of Premier will be entitled to receive such 
dividends as may be declared by its Board of Directors.  Although its Board 
intends to continue as a minimum the current level of dividend payments, the 
ability of Premier to pay such dividends in the future will depend upon the 
earnings and financial condition of Premier and its affiliate banks and is
subject to the restrictions described in Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

     Premier again acheived strong earnings performance in 1994, with net income
of $9,006,000.  While this represents a 5.39% decrease from restated 1993 
earnings of $9,519,000, several significant factors must be considerated when
comparing earnings performance.  

Accounting Changes - Earnings were enhanced in 1993 by $1,053,000 due to 
non-recurring changes in accounting requirements.

Security gains for 1994 decreased $614,000 compared to 1993.  Abnormally high
1993 security gains resulted primarily from restructuring of investment 
portfolios in anticipation of FASB 115 due to take effect in January, 1994.
In addition, a remaining net loss carryforward of $439,000 resulting from the 
merger of Bank of Speedwell and Bank of Shawsville in 1991 was required to be 
accelerated in 1993 following implementation of FASB 109.

Net income per share equaled a strong $1.81 with 4,987,877 shares outstanding
for 1993 and 1994.

NET INTEREST INCOME

   During 1994, management spent considerable time refining the asset/liability 
management of the company.  Strict systems were implemented to control costs of 
funds, while greater emphasis was placed on improving yields.  Coupled with 
additional earning asset volume, Premeir increased net interest income 
$2,236,000, or 8.82% in 1994; on a tax equivalent basis, $2,573,000 with 
interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 13 basis points to 3.88%, while the
yield on average earning assets declined only 9 basis points to 8.15% in 1994.
As a result, the tax equivalent net yield on earning assets remained steady at
4.84% compared to 4.82% 1993 despite a rising interest rate environment and 
Premier's liabilities sensitive position.

     Total average loans increased 12.22% and average securities increased 
14.49%.  The average volume of earnings assets increased 9.21% to 
$612,794,000, while the yield decreased, as mentioned earlier, only 9 basis 
points to 9.21%.  The average volume of interest bearing liabilities 
increased 9.30% to $522,848,000.  The average rate paid on these liabilities
decreased 13 basis points to 3.88%.  

     On a taxable-equivalent basis, 1993 net interest income
increased $2,236,000 or 9.01% with the volume assets increasing to $561,095,000
over 1992.  Total average loans increased 9.57% and average securities increased
7.00%.  The average volume of interest-bearing liabilities increased 18.56%
in 1993 to $478,339,000.  

     Forgone interest on non-performing loans amounted to
$194,000 in 1994, $262,000 in 1993, and $530,000 in 1992.

     Net interest income for the years 1992 through 1994 is shown
in Table II.  The presentation appears on a "taxable equivalent"
basis to adjust for the tax-exempt status of income earned on
certain loans and investments.

     Table III summarizes the effect on net interest income of
changes in interest rates earned and paid, as well as changes in
volume.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

     Total Other Income of $4,681,000 in 1994 represents a $262,000, or a 6.94% 
increase over 1993, when considered net of security gains.  This inprovement is
primarily attributed to an increase in service fee income.

Corporate Expansion - In 1994, significant restructuring took place within 
Premier.  These 
changes include: the affiliation of Dickenson-Buchanan Bank; the accusition of 
the Pocahontas Branch from First Union; the construction of a new branch in 
Claypool Hill; centralization of item processing; establishment of Premier 
Trust Company; relocation of corporate headquarters to Bluefield, Virginia; 
and preparations for the future acquisition of seven NationsBank offices.  As a 
result, 1994 reflected significant increases in salries and benefits, 
occupancy, legal, and other operating exepnses.  Although total other expenses 
increased $1,974,000 or 11.53%, to $19,092,000, management considers
these expenses as investments in the comapnie's infrastructure, providing a 
foundation for future growth. Dispite these growth related expenses,  Premier 
continues to operate quite efficiently compared to peers.  

     Other increases/decreases were generally in the normal course of business.

     The major components of other income and expenses are shown in Table IV 
and V.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Net charge offs decreased to $526,000 in 1994, a decrease of $416,000, or 
44% compared to 1993.  The improvements made in charge-offs and asset quality 
did not deter Premier's commitment to maintain reserve adequacy that is 
irrefutable.  To demonstrate Premier's commitment to asset quality and 
conservative mode of operation.  Provisions to the reserve of $1,144,000, an 
increase of $288,000, or 34% were made over 1993.  

      An allowance for loan losses is maintained in accordance
with periodic reviews of loans.  Additions are made to this
allowance as needed.  Losses are charged to the allowance rather
than being reported as a direct expense.  In 1993, $856,000 was
expensed as a loan loss provision, while net chargeoffs amounted
to $942,000.  Problem assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 
1.02% in 1993 to 0.74% in 1994. Non-performing assets at year end 1994
included $3,018,000 of nonaccural loans, $1,172,000 restructured loans,
and $677,000 of other real estate owned.  Reserves totaling $5,844,000 are 
considered adequate to cover future losses expected from non-performing
assets.

Lease Losses, while Table VII shows the allocation of the
allowance by type of loan.  Table VIII outlines non-performing
assets.

INCOME TAXES

     Applicable income taxes on 1994 earnings amounted to
$3,024,000 or 25.14% of income before income taxes, 
compared to $2,889,000 or 23.28% for 1993.  The recognition of
the tax benefit from the anticipated utilization of operating
loss carryforward under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, resulted in a decrease in effective rate for 1993

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

     The Corporation had total assets of $655 million at the end
of 1994, an increase of 2.28% over 1993.  Average earning assets
increased 9.21% during 1994, and comprised 94.01% of average
total assets.

LOANS

     Total loans, net of unearned income, at year-end totaled
$366,704 million, an increase of 28.7 million or 8.51% over 1993. 
Substantially all real estate loans are originated as Adjustable
Rate Mortgages and can be repriced at the end of 1, 3, 5, or 10
years.  Loan demand was moderate during 1994.  The ratio of net
chargeoffs to average loans outstanding was 0.15% for the year,
compared to 0.28% for 1993.  Loans delinquent 90 days or more and
still accruing decreased from $1,407,000 to $711,000, and 
nonaccrual loans decreased from $4,006,000 to $3,018,000. 
Foreclosed properties increased from $892,000 in 1992 to
$1,382,000 in 1993; restructured loans increased from $1,128,000
in 1993 to $1,172,000 in 1994.  Nonaccrual loans and foreclosed
properties amounted to 0.56% of total assets at year end 1994.

     Real estate mortgages representing 41.44% of the December 31, 1994
loan portfolio net of unearned interest, have been, and
should continue to be, the major lending activity of Premier's
subsidiary banks.  Management further intends as a part of its
lending policy, to satisfy this demand as long as deposit growth
and liquidity remain satisfactory.  To assist in this, Premier
Bank, Inc., obtained approval in 1992, from the Federal National
Mortgage Association to become a seller/servicer of its mortgage
products, and continues to  close, sell and service qualified
loans, thus creating a new income source while releasing funds
for additional loan activities.

     Table VIII reflects loans by type while Table IX shows
average rates earned and other significant data on loans.

INVESTMENTS

    The size of the investment portfolio remained relatively the same at 
December 31, 1994, totaling $231,448,000 when compared to $230,076,000 at
year end 1993.  79.32% of all securities were rated "A" or better at year-end.
The investment portfolio had an average taxable equivalent yield of 7.00% at
year end.

     Management primarily purchases securities with an intent to
hold to maturity.  However, because of changes in accounting
rules due to the Financial Accounting Standards Board
pronouncement 115, effective for premier beginning January 1,
1994, securities must now be segregated into three categories
with distinctively different accounting treatments.

     Securities which management has a positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are segregated as "Held to Maturity"
where they are accounted for using historic cost methods. 
Securities which may have more volatile characteristics, or for
which management anticipates a higher likelihood of active
management through sales prior to maturity are segregated as
"Available For Sale" and accounted for using methods which adjust
capital accounts for fluctuations in the securities' market
values.  Securities purchased with the intent of profiting from
fluctuations in values that result from short term interest rate
changes are segregated into a "Trading Account", with such value
fluctuations accounted for as adjustments to income.  

     The impending changes in accounting treatment required by
FASB 115 resulted in a significant investment portfolio
restructuring during 1993, and material increase in net income. 
Such restructuring will maximize the company's long term overall
return.  

DEPOSITS

    Total deposits increased $8,666,000, or 1.55% to $569,410,000
at year end 1994 over 1993.  This moderate deposit growth resulted from
management's aggressive control of deposit cost, in the absence of strong loan
demand.  Demand deposits increased 20%, interest bearing demand 10%, 
saving decreased 9%, large denomination certificates decreased 11%, and other
time deposits increased 6%.

     Table X shows average rates paid and other significant data
on deposits.  Maturities of $100,000 or more certificates of
deposit are shown in Table XIV.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Common stockholders' equity at year-end was $60,293,000
compared to $59,769,000 for 1993. Beginning in 1994, FASB 115 requires a monthly
adjustment to capital, for financial accounting purposes, equal to the net
increase or decrease in the market value of the available for sale portfolio.
As of year end 1994, this adjustment decreased capital $6,212,000.  At year end
the leverage capital ratio was 10.05%.

    As mentioned earlier, during 1994, Dickenson-Buchanan Bank was acquired in
a stock exchange transaction.  A total of 582,678 shares of Premier were 
issued for all of the outstanding stock of Dickenson-Buchanan Bank.

    Cash dividends of $2,377,000, or $.48 per share were declared in 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY

     Banks maintain liquidity for two major reasons, to fund
unforeseen demands for withdrawals of deposits and to fund
additional loan requests.  The adequacy of a bank's liquidity can
not be effectively measured in an absolute sense, but must be
viewed relative to the bank's probable needs.  Based on perceived
needs, a bank may employ a variety of techniques to control
liquidity.  The four most common techniques involve maintaining
cash reserves, carefully planning cash flows, structuring other
types of assets in a manner which will allow them to be quickly
converted to cash, or to develop commitments from other
institutions to loan the bank cash in the event such is needed.

     Premier's deposit base has become somewhat more volatile
since deregulation, but continues to be very stable relative to
industry standards.  Also, loan demand throughout Premier's trade
area has traditionally been modest.  Combined, these factors
mitigate much of the need for short term liquidity.

     To the extent liquidity is required, it can normally be
handled using cash flows from operations.  As shown in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, net increases in deposits
amounted to $8,666,000 in 1994 versus net loan increases of
$30,182,000.  In 1993 net deposit increases amounted to
$79,985,000 versus net loan increases of $34,549,000 in 1993. 
Should unforeseen liquidity needs arise, they can be handled
using federal funds sold, investments maturing within one year,
and stand by federal funds purchase commitments.

     In order to allow regular repricing on a large portion of
Premier's loan portfolio, most real estate can be
repriced over a period of one to ten years.  Premier's policy is
to maintain the relationship between rate-sensitive assets and
rate-sensitive liabilities which will best maximize profits and
continue future profit levels in keeping with the trend and
expectations of interest rates.

     Premier's current gap position is such that in periods of
rising rates earnings would be negatively impacted as interest on
interest-bearing accounts would rise more sharply than interest
on earning assets.  Conversely, in periods of falling rates,
earnings would rise.  Management, through constant monitoring of
Premier's gap position and market interest trends and forecasts,
can minimize the negative impact of a rise in the market interest
rate.

     Tables XI through XIV reflect additional data on liquidity
and interest sensitivity.

INFLATION

     Since the assets and liabilities of banks are primarily
monetary in nature, the performance of banks is affected more by
changes in interest rates than by inflation.  Interest rates
generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the
change may not necessarily be the same.

     During periods of high inflation, banks will normally
experience growth in assets and deposits, which will result in increased 
operating expenses.

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Premier Bankshares Corporation
Bluefield, Virginia

     We have audited the accompaying consolidated balance sheets of Premier 
Bankshares Corporation and Affiliates as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows 
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994.  These
financial statements are the responsiblity of the Company's management.  Our
responsibilty is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our audits.  We did not audit the financial statements of Dickenson-Buchanan 
Bank, a consolidated subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets and 
revenue constituting 13% and 14%, respectively, in 1994, 13% and 12%, 
respectively, in 1993, and revenue constituting 9% in 1992 of the related 
consolidated totals.  Those statements were audited by other auditors whose 
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Dickenson-Buchanan Bank, is based solely on the report of
the other auditors.

     We conducted our audits in accoudance with  generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain resonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used in significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the over all financial 
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits and the report of the other
auditors provide a resonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other 
auditors, the consoldiated financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Premier Bankshares
Corporation and Affiliates as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended Decmeber 31, 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business:  The Company, through its banking affiliates, grants 
commercial, residential and installment loans to customers located in Southwest
Virginia.  Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a substantial portion
of its debtors' abilities to honor their contracts is dependent upon the coal
and agribusiness economic sectors.

Summary of the Company's significant accounting policies:

Consolidation:  The consolidated statements include accounts of
Premier and its Affiliates.  All significant intercompany balances and 
transactions have been eliminated.  

Reclassification:   Certain reclassification's have been made to prior 
financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows,
cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks
including cash items in process of clearing.  Cash
flows from loans originated by the affiliate banks, deposits, and federal funds
purchased and sold are reported net.  Temporary investments include federal
funds sold, trading securities, and interest-bearing deposits in banks.

The Company maintains amounts due from banks which, at times, may exceed 
federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts.

Trust Assets:  Assets of the trust department, other than cash on deposit at
the affiliate banks, are not included in these financial statements because they
are not assets of the Company.  

Securities and Accounting Change:  The Company adopted provisions of Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities, as of January 1, 1994.  Statement 115 requires
that management determine the appropriate classification of securities at the
date of adoption, and thereafter at the date individual investment securities 
are acquired, and that the appropriateness of such classification be reassessed 
at each balance sheet date.

Securities availablae for sale are those debt securities that the Company
intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to 
maturity.  Any decision to sell a security classified as a available for sale 
would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest
rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, 
liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors.
Securities available for slae are carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains or
losses are reported as increases or decreases in stockholders' equity, net
of the related deferred tax effect.

Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities the Company 
has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in 
market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions.
<PAGE>
Trading securities, which are generally held for the short term in anticipation 
of market gains, are carried at fair value.  Realized and unrealized gains and 
losses on trading account assets are included in other income.  The Company does
not classify any securities as trading securities at this time.

Prior to the adoption of Statement 115, the Company stated its securities held 
for sale at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  Securities classified
as held for sale were part of the Company's asset and liability management 
strategy and were sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in 
prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital and other factors.
Marketable equity securities were stated at the lower of their aggregtate
cost or market value.  Under both the newly adopted standard and the Company's
former accounting practices, premiums and discounts on investments in debt
securities are amortized over their contractual lives.  The method of
amortization results in a constant effective yield on those securities (the
interest method).  Interest on debt securities is recognized in income as 
accrued, and dividends on marketable equity securities are recognized in income 
where declared. Realized gains and losses, including losses from declines in 
value of specified securities determinded by management other-than-temporary,
are included in income.  Realized gains and losses are determined on the 
basis of specific securities sold.

Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements provides further information
about the effect of adopting Statement 115.  

Loans:  Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned
discount and fees and an allowance for possible loan losses.

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level consider 
adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated.  The 
allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced
by net charge-offs.  Management makes continuous credit reviews of the loan
portfolio and considers current economic conditions, historical loan loss
experience, review of specific  problem loans, and other factors in determing
adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses.


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)

The decision to charge off a loan is based upon the borrower's continued 
failure to pay principal or interest when due, or circumstances indicating the
principal will not or cannot be paid, along with the evaluation of any
collateral securing the loan.  

Unearned interest on discounted loans is amortized to income over the life of
the loans, using the sum-of-the-months digits (78ths) method.  For
all other
loans, interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances.  The methods 
collectively produce a result that is not materially different the level 
yield method.  Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management
believes,after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the
borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is
doubtful.  Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Loan commitment fees and certain direct loan costs are deferred and
the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield.  The
Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life.

Bank Premises and Equipment:  Bank premises and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed by the 
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

<TABLE>
                                             Years 
     <S>                                     <C>
     Buildings                               10 - 50
     Furniture and Equipment                 5 - 10
</TABLE>

Costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred,
while major improvements are capitalized.

Other Real Estate Owned:  Other real estate owned (OREO) represents
properties acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings OREO 
is held for sale and is recorded at the lower of the recorded amount of the
loan or fair value of the properties less estimanted cost of disposal.
Any write-down to fair value at the time of transfer to OREO is charged
to the allowance for possible loan losses.  Property is evaluated regularly
to ensure the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value
and valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amount to fair value
less estimated costs to dispose are recorded as necessary.  Depreciation 
is recorded based on the recorded amount of depreciable assets after
they have been owned for one year.  Depreciation and additions to 
or reductions from valuation allowances are recorded in income.

Intangible Assets:  Included in other assets are net intangible
assets of 
$1,808,000 and $1,690,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  At December 31, 1994, intangible assets consisted primarily
of $275,000 of building premiums, and $1,533,000 of goodwill.  
Intangibles are being amortized over periods ranging from one to 
thirty-five years.




Pension Plan:  Generally, Premier and its affiliates fund pension costs as
incurred.

Income Taxes and Accounting Change:  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for 
Income Taxes.  This adoption of Statement 109 changes the Company's method
of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to a liability method.
Under
the deferred method, the Company deferred the past tax effects of
timing differences between financial reporting  and taxable income.
The application of Statement 109 had no material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences
and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of 
assets and liabilities and their taxbases. 
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the 
opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
adjusted for the effects of changes in tax
laws and rates on the date of enactment.  The operating results of the 
Parent Company and its affiliates are included 
in a consolidated federal income tax return.  Each affiliate pays
its allocation of federal income taxes to the Parent Company, or
receives payment from the Parent Company to the extent that tax benefits
are realized.

Earnings Per Share:  Earnings per share are computed on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding.




Current Accounting Developments:  The Financial Accounting
Standards Board has 
issued Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of 
a Loan, as amended by Statement No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Imparement
which becomes effective for years beginning after December 15, 1994.
Earlier application is permitted.  The Statement generally requires 
Imapared Loans
to be measured on the present value of expected future cash 
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as an expedient, 
at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent.  A loan is impaired when it is probable the 
creditor will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest
payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.  The Company 
has not adopted this Statement, for the year ended December 31, 1994, but
believes the overall effect of adoption will be immaterial to the financial 
statements.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATION

During 1994, Dickenson-Buchanan Bank was acquired in an exchange of stock 
transaction in which 582,678 shares of Premier were issued for all of the
outstanding stock of Dickenson-Buchanan Bank.  The transaction was accounted
for  as a pooling-of-interest and all financial data has been restated 
accordingly.  The effect of Premier's previously reported operations and 
stockholders' equity follows.

NOTE 3- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of 
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value:

Cash and Short-term Investments:  For those short-term instruments, the
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities:  The fair values of securities held for trading purposes and 
marketable equity securities held for investment purposes are based on quoted 
market prices or dealer quotes.  For other securities held as investment, 
fair value equals quoted market price
if available.If a quoted market price is not available,
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar 
securities.

Loan Receivables:  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting
the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be 
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining 
maturities.

Deposit Liabilities:  The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and
certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated
using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Debt:  The fair value of debt due on demand or with a maturity of
three months or less is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.

Long-term Debt:  Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar
terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial 
Guarantees Written:  The fair value of commitments is estimated using the 
fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present 
credit worthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair
value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates
and the committed rates.  The fair value of guarantees and letters of 
credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the
estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the
counterparties at the reporting date.

instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

In connection with an internal review of the accounting policies of the
Company, management modified its accounting policy for its investment 
portfolio in 1993.  This modification divided the portfolio into securities
held for sale and securities held to maturity.  The securities held for sale 
were accounted for at the lower of aggregate cost or market.  No losses 
resulted from the reclassification.

Securities with carrying values of $46,447,000 and $51,472,000 at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were pledged as collateral
on public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Premier dividend payments are made from dividends received from
affiliates 
which amounted to $3,004,000, $2,659,918, and $2,450,741, for December 31, 1994
1993 and 1992, respectively.

Under applicable federal law, the Comptroller of the Currency
(relating to
Premier's affiliate banks which are national banking associations)
restricts
total dividend payments in any calendar year to net profits of that
year,
as defined, combined with retained net profits for the two preceding years.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, retained net profits, free of such restriction, 
amounted to $7,353,000 and $6,748,000, respectively. 
Notwithstanding the aforementioned amounts available for dividends,
there is a further restriction that each bank must meet prescribed levels of 
capital.

Premier has three affiliate banks organized under the laws of Virginia.  The 
ability to pay dividends is principally governed by prescribed capital 
levels under regulations of the FDIC.

Legal lending limits on loans to Premier (Parent) are governed by
Federal Reserve Act 23A, and differ
from legal lending limits on loans to external customers. 
Generally, a bank
may lend up to 10% of its capital and surplus to its Parent, if the
loan is secured.  If collateral is in the form of stocks, bonds
debentures or similar obligations, it must have a market value when
the loan is made of at least 20% more than the amount of the loan, and if
obligations of a state or political subdivision or agency thereof, it must have
a market value of at least 10% more than the amount of the loan.  If such loans
are secured by obligations of the United States or agencies thereof, or by
notes, drafts, bills of exchange or bankers' acceptances eligible for 
rediscount or purchase by a Federal Reserve Bank,
requirements for collateral in excess of loan amount do not apply. 
Under this definition, combined legal lending limit for Premier banks on loans
to Parent
is $1,814,000 at December 31, 1994.  On December 31, 1994 the Parent Company
was indebted to an affiliate bank for the sum of $200,000.  Under the terms of 
the credit arrangement, the loan was secured by equipment and payable on demand.

Substantially all undivided profits of the Parent are represented
by undistributed earnings of affiliates.

Earnings per share are computed on weighted average number of
shares outstanding of 4,987,805, 4,987,805 and 4,988,136, shares at
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

On December 16, 1992, the Company declared a twenty-percent stock dividend to 
shareholders of record January 15, 1993.  All per share data has been 
restated to account for this stock dividend, including the acquired affiliate
accounted for as a pooling-of-interest.

Federal regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for financial
institutions, including risk-based capital standards.  The primary objectives
of comparing capital positions of financial institutions are to take into 
account the different risks among financial institutions' assests and 
off-balance-sheet items.

Risk based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements for a 
minimum leverage ratio.   The leverage ratio is the Company's Tier I Capital 
divided by the amount of the Company's total assets as reported on the 
balance sheet.  In addition, the regulatory agencies consider the published 
capital levels as minimum levels and may require a Financial Institution to 
maintain capital at higher levels.

A comparison of the Company's capital as of December 31, 1994 with the 
minimum requirements for well capitalized and adequately capitalized 
institutions is presented below.

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Discretionary profit sharing plan and a defined contribution
retirement plan are maintained for employees.  Total expenses (funded as 
accrued) related to these plans were $814,000, $812,000, and $689,000 for the 
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.  Except for an 
annual ten percent of participants' eligible compensation minimum funding
requirement in the defined contribution plan, there are no other liabilities 
or commitments for any of these plans.



NOTE 13 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Deferred compensation plans exist for selected directors and officers of all 
affiliated banks.  Under plan provisions, certain directors and officers 
entered agreements with the banks which required annual payment for ten years
certain, beginning at age 65 or at death.  Participants have agreed to waive
certain future compensation to reduce overall plan costs.  
Another plan available to certain officers of one affiliate bank 
provides for annual payemnts for fifteen years certain.  Payments on this latter
plan begin upon retirement with certain reductions of benefits in the event of
pre-retirement death.

Lives of participants of all plans have been insured for amounts that will 
partially discharge these obligations.  These policies had cash surrender 
values of $947,000 and $906,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, 
which are reflected in other assets.

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, $1,538,000 and $1,376,000, respectively, had 
been accrued under these contracts.  This liability and related deferred income
tax charges of $523,000 and $468,000 arising from nondeductibility of 
deferred compensation for income tax purposes until paid, are reflected in 
the financial statements.

The increase in estimated present values of future benefits under these plans 
is charged to operations annually and amounted to $233,000, $195,007, and 
$221,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

NOTE 14 - LEASE OBLIGATIONS

In the normal course of business, affiliates have entered into
operating leases for equipment.  Operating lease expense for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $27,000, $17,000, and $19,000, 
respectively.  At December 31, 1994, Premier and its affiliates were not 
obligated under significant long-term operating or capital leases.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Financial Instruments With Off-balance-sheet Risk:  The Company is a party to
financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial 
instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit 
and revolving home equity lines.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess
of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.  The contractual
amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of Company involvement in 
particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the 
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount
of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making 
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet 
instruments.

Unless noted otherwise, the Company requires that off-balance-sheet financial 
instruments be collateralized by real estate.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
  Standby Letters of Credit             1664        1742
  Unused Commercial Line Commitments    18584       7158
  Revolving Home Equity Lines           1452        808
  Credit Card Lines                     3717        2640
  Other                                 1967        364

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long 
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination 
clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are 
expected to expire without being used, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained,if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is 
based on management's credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies but may
include accounts receivable, crops, livestock, inventory, property, plant, 
and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial 
properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company 
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing 
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar
transactions.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is 
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Collateral held varies as specified above required in instances the Company
deems necessary.

Committment:  On November 21, 1994, Premier executed an agreement with 
NationsBank of Virginia, N.A. to purchase seven branch locations throughout
Premier's market area.  The agreement is contingent upon both parties
obtaining regualtory approval.  It is anticipated the transaction will be
consummated by the close of the second quarter of 1995.

Contingencies:  In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in 
various legal proceedings.  In the opinion of management, any liability 
resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 17- TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The Company's affilate banks conduct banking transactions in the ordinary 
course of business with directors, principal officers, their immediate 
families and affiliated companies in which they are principal 
stockholders (commonly referred to as related 
parties), all of which have been, in the opinion of management, on  the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with others.

Aggregate loan transactions with related parties were as follows:

NOTE 18 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

To comply with banking regulations, the banks are required to
maintain certain 
average cash reserve balances.  The daily average cash reserve
requirement was approximately $2,763,000 and $2,402,000 for 
the two-week period including December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
