Major classifications of loans at year-end are summarized as follows:

	2013		2012
Residential real estate	$	216,081	$	214,743
Multifamily real estate		38,456		28,673

Certain directors and executive officers of the Banks and companies in which they have beneficial ownership, were loan customers of the Banks during 2013 and 2012. Such related party loans are governed by federal banking regulations which require such loans to be made in the ordinary course of business.

An analysis of the 2013 activity with respect to all director and executive officer loans is as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	16,639
Additions, including loans now meeting disclosure requirements		1,530
Amounts collected and loans no longer meeting disclosure requirements		(6,973	)
Balance, December 31, 2013	$	11,196

Purchased Loans

The Company holds purchased loans for which there was, at their acquisition date, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since their origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of those loans is as follows at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

	2013		2012
Residential Real Estate	$	183	$	202
Multifamily Real Estate		1,229		3,173
Commercial Real Estate
Owner Occupied		250		271
Non owner Occupied		6,782		5,896
Commercial and industrial		496		511
All other		4,623		4,496
Total carrying amount	$	13,563	$	14,549

Carrying amount, net of allowance	$	12,931	$	14,049

For those purchased loans disclosed above, the Company increased the allowance for loan losses by $132 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and increased the allowance for loan losses by $500 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

For the majority of these loans, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and therefore has continued to account for those loans using the cost recovery method of income recognition. As such, no portion of a purchase discount adjustment has been determined to meet the definition of an accretable yield adjustment on those loans accounted for using the cost recovery method. If, in the future, cash flows from the borrower(s) can be reasonably estimated, a portion of the purchase discount would be allocated to an accretable yield adjustment based upon the present value of the future estimated cash flows versus the current carrying value of the loan and the accretable yield portion would be recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Until such accretable yield can be calculated, under the cost recovery method of income recognition, all payments will be used to reduce the carrying value of the loan and no income will be recognized on the loan until the carrying value is reduced to zero. Any loan accounted for under the cost recovery method is also still included as a non-accrual loan in the amounts presented in the tables below.

During 2013 and 2012, the Company determined that the cash flows from borrowers on a limited number of purchased loans could be reasonably estimated. As such, a portion of the non-accretable difference was reclassified to accretable yield and is being recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan(s).

The accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, on the purchased loans above is as follows at December 31 2013 and December 31, 2012. There was no accretable yield on the purchased loans above prior to January 1, 2012.

	2013			2012
Balance at January 1	$	635		$	-
New loans purchased		-			-
Accretion of income		(26	)		(6	)
Income recognized upon full repayment		(415	)		-
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference		23			641
Disposals		-			-
Balance at December 31	$	217		$	635

During 2013, the Company refinanced a purchased loan detailed above upon its scheduled maturity. At the borrower’s request and in accordance with Premier’s credit underwriting standards, the borrower increased the principal balance outstanding on the note. The amount of accretable yield was unaffected by the refinancing.

During 2012, the Company purchased $9,969 of contractually required payments on a loan classified as “all other” for which it was probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The fair value on the loan was estimated to be $2,772 at the time of acquisition. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the cash flows expected to be collected on the loan as the loan is in the process of collection and the proceeds for repayment are expected to come from collateral sales, the timing of which cannot be reasonably estimated. As such, no portion of a purchase discount adjustment has been determined to meet the definition of an accretable yield adjustment.

Past Due and Non-performing Loans

The following tables present the recorded investment in nonaccrual and loans past due over 90 days still on accrual by class of loans as of December 31, 2013 and December 31 2012. The recorded investment in non-accrual loans is less than the principal owed on non-accrual loans due to discounts applied to the carrying value of the loan at time of their acquisition and interest payments made by the borrower which have been used to reduce the recorded investment in the loan rather than recognized as interest income.

Nonaccrual loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, and some may only be included in one category. Nonaccrual loans include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") when loan terms are modified due to a borrower's financial difficulties and a concession is granted to a borrower that would not have otherwise been considered. Most of the Company’s loan modifications involve a restructuring of loan terms prior to maturity to temporarily reduce the payment amount and/or to require only interest for a temporary period, usually up to six months. These modifications generally do not meet the definition of a TDR because the modifications are considered to be an insignificant delay in payment.

The following table presents TDR’s as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

December 31, 2013	TDR’s on Non-accrual		Other TDR’s		Total TDR’s

At December 31, 2013 there were no specific reserves allocated to loans that had restructured terms. At December 31, 2012, $220 in specific reserves was allocated to loans that had restructured terms.

The following table presents TDR’s that occurred during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The troubled debt restructurings described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2013 and increased the allowance for loan losses by $168 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no TDR’s for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial, commercial real estate, multifamily residential and commercial purpose loans secured residential real estate, on a monthly basis. For consumer loans, including consumer loans secured by residential real estate, the analysis involves monitoring the performing status of the loan. At the time such loans become past due by 30 days or more, the Company evaluates the loan to determine if a change in risk category is warranted. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

As of December 31, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Loan Class	Pass		Special Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Total Loans

Residential real estate	$	202,789	$	6,204	$	7,065	$	23	$	216,081
