ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
A. Financial Condition and Results of Operations
At September 30, 1996, the Company had total assets of $287 million, an
increase of 84.7% from total assets of $155 million at December 31, 1995.
This increase in total assets is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
Farmers Deposit Bancorp, which had total assets of $107 million at July 1,
1996, the effective acquisition date. Financing for this acquisition was
provided from the proceeds of $27.1 million from the public offering of the
Company's common stock in May and June of 1996. Of the total offering
proceeds, $12.5 million was paid to the former shareholders of Farmers
Deposit Bancorp and $6.9 million was used for the repayment of debt including
$1.9 million debt of Farmers Deposit Bancorp. The balance of the stock
offering proceeds of $7.7 million is available for future acquisitions and to
support the internal growth of the subsidiary banks.
Total loans at September 30, 1996 were $213 million, representing an
increase of 89.1% from total loans of $113 million at December 31, 1995. This
increase was due to growth from the acquisition, as well as from each of the
Company's other subsidiary banks' strong loan growth.
Investment securities at September 30, 1996 totaled $45 million and
equaled only 15.7% of total assets, which reflects management's emphasis on
lending as the major component of earnings.
In connection with the acquisition of Farmers Deposit Bancorp, the total
acquisition cost of $12,577,000 exceeded the fair value of net assets
acquired by approximately $5.4 million.
Funding for the growth in total assets has been provided by an increase
in total deposits of $98 million, including $91 million from the Eminence
acquisition, to $234 million at September 30, 1996, an increase of 72.1% over
the $136 million of total deposits at December 31, 1995. Additional funding
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 has come from increases in
Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $3.9 million and securities sold under
repurchase agreements of $5.4 million.
At September 30, 1996, the Company had no debt outstanding as proceeds
from the public stock offering were used to repay the $5 million in debt
which was outstanding at December 31, 1995.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $2,298,000 or
$.77 per share was 63.3% higher than the $1,407,000 or $.74 per share
recorded for the same period in 1995. This increase was due largely to the
increase of $2,976,000 in net interest income reflecting the growth in the
average assets of the Company of approximately $75 million to $200 million
compared to $125 million for the same period in 1995. The growth in average
assets was primarily the result of the acquisition of Farmers Deposit Bancorp
of Eminence, Kentucky, effective July 1, 1996, the acquisition of Citizens
Bank of Sharpsburg, Kentucky, in November, 1995, the issuance of 2,300,000
additional common shares near the end of the second quarter of 1996, and the
continued growth of the Company's other banks. For the three months ended
September 30, 1996, net income totaled $1,053,000 compared to $484,000 for
the same period in
Page 9
<PAGE>
1995. Net income was $.25 per share for both periods. The earnings per share
amounts reflect the impact of the increase in weighted average number of
shares outstanding from 1,909,000 to 4,209,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, due to the issuance of additional
common shares in the public offering. Net interest margin on a tax-equivalent
basis of 4.93% remained strong in the three months ended September 30, 1996,
although down from the 5.43% recorded for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The return on average assets remained constant at 1.5% for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996. The return on average equity was
12.7% for the nine months ended and 10.8% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. The decrease in return on average equity for the third
quarter of 1996 is primarily attributable to the substantial increase in
equity from the public offering proceeds received late in the second quarter
of 1996.
Non-interest income increased $446,000 to $1,046,000 for the first nine
months of 1996 compared to $600,000 for the first nine months of 1995.
Non-interest income increased $137,000 to $394,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $257,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increases are attributed to the growth and expansion of the Company's
business and its customer base, including higher insurance commissions,
income from the sale of loans and an overall increase in service charges. In
addition, a $50,000 fee was received during the first three months of 1996 in
connection with an exchange of an investment in preferred stock. The
acquisitions of the Eminence and Sharpsburg banks contributed $165,000 and
$232,000 to the increase in non-interest income for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
Non-interest expenses were $4,732,000 or 3.14% of average assets on an
annualized basis during the first nine months of 1996 compared to $3,172,000
or 3.38% of average assets during the same period of 1995. Non-interest
expenses increased $999,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1996
to $2,024,000 compared to $1,025,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1995. Salaries and employee benefits increased from $565,000 and
$1,716,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, to $1,093,000 and $2,585,000 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively. Also increasing significantly were
other operating expenses from $308,000 and $1,002,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $676,000 and $1,608,000 for the same
periods in 1996. These increases are reflective of the increase in full-time
equivalent employees and the expenses associated with the increase in total
consolidated assets during these periods. The operations of the Eminence and
Sharpsburg banks added $699,000 and $968,000 to total non-interest expenses
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
Page 10
<PAGE>
The provision for possible loan losses increased from $20,000 to
$159,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 1995 and
from $48,000 to $347,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995.
These increases for possible loan losses are in line with the increase in
average loans outstanding from $86,922,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $147,630,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1996 of $2,593,000
represented 1.22% of total loans outstanding.
Income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
of $3,296,000 was $1,563,000 or 90% above last years $1,733,000. The
provision for income taxes of $998,000 represented an effective tax rate of
30% versus $326,000 or a 19% tax rate in 1995. The lower tax rate in 1995
was largely as a result of the reduction in the valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets at the Georgetown bank.
B. Liquidity
Liquidity for a financial institution can be expressed in terms of
maintaining sufficient cash flows to meet both existing and unplanned
obligations in a cost effective manner. Adequate liquidity allows the
Company to meet the demands of both the borrower and the depositor on a
timely basis, as well as pursuing other business opportunities as they arise.
Thus, liquidity management embodies both an asset and liability aspect. In
order to provide for funds on a current and long-term basis, the Company
primarily relies on the following sources:
1. Core deposits consisting of both consumer and commercial deposits
and certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more.
2. Cash flow generated by repayment of loans and interest.
3. Arrangements with correspondent banks for purchase of unsecured
federal funds.
4. The sale of securities under repurchase agreements and borrowings
from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
5. Maintenance of an adequate available-for-sale security portfolio.
At September 30, 1996, cash, federal funds sold, and securities
available for sale, the primary sources of the Company's liquidity needs,
totaled $38.9 million or 13.6% of total assets. In addition to these liquid
assets, the Company's subsidiary banks maintain individual credit facilities
to provide additional short-term borrowing availability if needed.
Furthermore, certain of the Company's subsidiary banks have borrowing
facilities with the Federal Home Loan Bank which provides matching funding
for residential real estate loans.
The cash flow statements for the periods presented in the financial
statements provide an indication of the Company's sources and uses of cash as
well as an indication of the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate
level of liquidity.

C. Capital
On January 19, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock
split payable March 29, 1996 in the form of a share dividend to shareholders
of record on February 22, 1996, thus, all per share information in this
filing has been adjusted for the stock split. Additionally, on March 15,
1996, the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's articles of
incorporation that increased the number of common shares authorized from
1,800,000 to 10,000,000, eliminated the $1.00 par value per share relating to
common shares and authorized 1,000,000 preferred shares, without par value.
On January 19, 1996, the Board of Directors adopted, and on March 15,
1996 the Company's shareholders approved, the Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc.
1996 Employee Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, whereby certain employees of
the Company are eligible to receive stock options under the Plan. A maximum
of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock (adjusted for the 2-for-1
stock split payable March 29, 1996) may be issued through exercises of these
stock options. The option price is the fair market value of the Company's
shares at the date of the grant.
On May 22, 1996, the Company issued 2,000,000 additional common shares
in a public offering at $13.00 per share. After underwriting commissions of
$1,820,000 and expenses of $682,000, the Company realized net proceeds of
$23,498,000. On June 19, 1996, the underwriters exercised an overallotment
option and an additional 300,000 were issued with the Company receiving net
proceeds of $3,627,000 after underwriting commissions of $273,000. The total
net proceeds from the issuance of the 2,300,000 common shares were
$27,125,000. Proceeds of $5,000,000 were used to repay existing Company debt,
$12,550,000 was used to acquire Farmers Deposit Bancorp, Eminence, Kentucky,
and an additional $1,850,000 was used to repay Farmers Deposit Bancorp's
existing debt. The remaining proceeds may be used by the Company to provide
additional capital to its existing banks, for possible future acquisitions or
for general corporate purposes.
With the additional capital and strong earnings performance, the
Company's capital totaled $39.2 million at September 30, 1996 and equaled
13.6% of assets. After deducting goodwill of $5.6 million, which was largely
attributable to the Farmers Deposit Bancorp acquisition, tangible equity was
11.9% of assets.
In each of the first three quarters of 1996, the Company has paid a cash
dividend of $.125 per share. Total dividends through September 30, 1996
amounted to $1.3 million, compared to net income for the nine months of $2.3
million.
